Rosko Specman will start on the wing on one of four changes to the DHL Stormers starting line-up for their PRO14 Rainbow Cup SA clash with the Vodacom Bulls on Friday.

There are two changes to the backline and two to the forward pack for the North-South encounter, which kicks off at 19h00 on Friday at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.

Specman, who is on loan with the DHL Stormers, comes straight into the starting line-up, while the other change to the backline sees Tim Swiel make his first start of the campaign at flyhalf.

In the forward pack David Meihuizen comes in at lock for JD Schickerling, who picked up an ankle injury in training this week, while Neethling Fouche starts at tighthead prop.

DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that his team will need to execute their skills as accurately as possible to get the result they need.

“We know that it will take a clinical performance to get the win on Friday and we are up for the challenge.

“We want to push ourselves to deliver our best rugby for the full 80 minutes as we know that we are an even better team than we have shown in this competition,” he said.
