Stormers to Ring Changes



Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus is set to rest some key players for Saturday's Super 14 match against the Highlanders at Newlands.

The Highlanders have by far been the worst New Zealand team in the Super 14, managing only one win after 10 outings. The Cape side are expected to take full points against them at the weekend.

Erasmus is forced to replace JD Moller and Tonderai Chavanga through injury, with either Wikus Blaauw or Brok Harris coming in for Moller and Dylan des Fountain is the likely replacement for Chavanga.

The coach will probably also rest Andries Bekker and replace him with the under-utili! sed Ross Skeate while Tiaan Liebenberg is due a run at hooker.

It'll be interesting to see however if Erasmus decides to give Tony Brown a start at flyhalf against his old team, with Peter Grant shifting to inside centre.

All will be revealed tomorrow at the Stormers team announcement in Durbanville at 12.
