Numerous changes for Stormers

PERTH — The return to South Africa of injured players has prompted a number of changes to the DHL Stormers team that will face the Western Force in their final Vodacom Super Rugby tour match in Perth today.

In all there are five changes to the starting team, one of them positional, from the one that beat the Reds 23-13 in Brisbane last week. The positional change is effectively just a switch of numbers as Andries Bekker returns in place of the injured Eben Etzebeth, who wasn’t able to prove his fitness in sufficient time to be considered for the game.
