Coleman back, as Stormers shuffle for Sharks
There is a new halfback pairing – with scrumhalf Jano Vermaak linking up with fit-again flyhalf Kurt Coleman, who starts his first match this season.
This means that Dillyn Leyds is back on the left wing, with Seabelo Senatla on the replacements bench alongside Juan de Jongh, who makes his return from injury – having played for Western Province in the domestic provincial challenge competition last week.
In the midfield experienced Springbok centre Damian de Allende starts at inside centre, after making an impact as a replacement last week.
The forward pack which started the 30-22 victory against the Blues at Newlands has been retained, with lock Pieter-Steph du Toit set to earn his 50th Super Rugby cap.
The only change up front comes on the replacements bench, as Chris van Zyl provides lock cover this week.
