Star DHL Stormers lock Eben Etzebeth is likely to be unleashed on the Cheetahs in Friday’s pre-season clash at DHL Newlands (kick-off 19h00).
The powerhouse Springbok lock was rested from this past Saturday’s trip to George but will come into contention for Friday night after again training fully at the HPC in Bellville today (Tuesday).
Loose forwards Nizaam Carr and Siya Kolisi are not available for selection as yet and neither is inside centre/fullback Jaco Taute (knee).
The DHL Stormers, 34-3 victors over the SWD Eagles at Outeniqua Park a few days ago, will face up to the Cheetahs at DHL Newlands this Friday, before concluding their three-match pre-season campaign against the Boland Cavaliers (away) on Saturday, February 7.
The DHL Stormers team, to face the Cheetahs on Friday night, will be announced on Tuesday afternoon, whilst match tickets for Friday – at just R30 for ALL seated tickets – can be purchased online
(at wprugby.computicket.com) or from Computicket outlets and Shoprite/Checkers stores nationwide.
