Stormers Super rugby head coach Robbie Fleck has named a team with four changes for this Friday’s match at Newlands on Friday.

Forwards Steven Kitshoff, Scarra Ntubeni and Juarno Augustus will all make their first starts of the season, while the only change to the backline sees Dillyn Leyds come in at fullback, for the encounter which kicks off at 19h10 on Friday at Newlands.

Utility forward Cobus Wiese also makes his return from injury on the replacements bench for the clash with the South American team.

Stormers Head Coach Robbie Fleck said that following their bye last week, his team are aiming to build more momentum before their four-week tour of Australasia.

“We are looking forward to being back at Newlands for what will be a tough match against the Jaguares on Friday.

“The players are focused on raising our standards further as we look to keep building and creating momentum,” he said.
