Loose forward is a flashpoint for Stormers boss John Dobson, who has revealed at least one long-term absentee among several injured back-row players at the club.
Stormers head coach John Dobson expressed relief at the return of Springbok No 8 Evan Roos amid an injury crisis in the loose forwards. Roos recovered from a hamstring injury to start alongside Siya Kolisi and Paul de Villiers against the Bristol Bears in Saturday's Investec Champions Cup match at Cape Town Stadium, replacing the concussed Hacjivah Dayimani.
Dobson revealed that Marcel Theunissen faces three to four months out following back surgery, while BJ Dixon remains sidelined with delayed concussion symptoms. The Stormers have also refreshed their front row, selecting Vernon Matongo, Sazi Sandi, and JJ Kotzé to start against Bristol.
