Stormers head coach John Dobson has reshuffled his front row and loose trio for their Investec Champions Cup opener against Bristol Bears at Cape Town Stadium. Evan Roos returns from a hamstring injury to start at No 8, replacing Hacjivah Dayimani, who is sidelined due to concussion. Vernon Matongo, JJ Kotzé, and Sazi Sandi form a new-look front row for Saturday's clash.
While the starting backline remains unchanged from their 39-22 victory over the Sharks, Warrick Gelant replaces Wandisile Simelane on the bench. Pat Lam's Bristol side travels to South Africa aiming to bounce back from a 30-7 defeat against Saracens.
