The Stormers have made a number of changes to the team that beat the Force before their bye for this week's match against the Cheetahs at Newlands with a number of stars returning from injury.
Stormers trio Gio Aplon, Jean de Villiers and Eben Etzebeth return from injury which has created a number of changes.
Aplon comes back into the team on the wing at 14 so Van Den Heever drops to the bench and JP Du Plessis drops out of the match 22.
De Villiers slots in at 12, with De Jongh moving to 13 and Habana back to the wing. Danie Poolman drops out of the match 22.
In the front row Kitshoff retains his place with Deon Fourie coming in for Liebenberg and Harris in for Malherbe, both of whom will play from the bench.
Reserve hooker, Scarra Ntubeni falls out of the match 22. Eben Etzebeth returns from injury at 4 lock, with Steenkamp dropping down to the bench and Armand falling out of the 22.
In the only other change, London Irish and Canadian 8/flank Jebb Sinclair, who joined the Stormers today on loan, will provide loose forward cover from the bench.
