VODACOM SUPER RUGBY ROUND 17: DHL STORMERS VS EMIRATES LIONS 

 

Emirates Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has named his side to face the DHL Stormers at Newlands Stadium on Saturday.

 

Ackermann has opted for consistency for the clash, making just two forced changes to the Emirates Lions match day 23.

 

In the midfield, Alwyn Hollenbach will start at inside centre after Lionel Mapoe was unable to pass a late fitness test following a knock to his knee during last weekend’s win over the Waratahs. As a result, Harold Vorster will shift to outside centre for the match.

 

On the bench, Howard Mnisi will come in for Stokkies Hanekom, who also sustained a minor knee injury in last weekend’s game.

 

The match will get under way at 17h05 local South Africa time.
