Stormers change 4



Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus has made four changes to his starting fifteen who'll play the Bulls in a north/south Super 14 derby at Loftus on Saturday.

Nick Koster gets his second start on the wing in place of Sireli Naquelevuki while Willem de Waal will look to dictate terms from flyhalf in place of Peter Grant.

In the pack, AJ Venter gets his first start for the Stormers this season ahead of work-horse Adriaan Fondse which Wicus Blaauw replaces the injured JD Moller at loosehead. Schalk Burger has been named in the starting fifteen but will be given until Friday! to prove that he's recovered from his calf injury.

If not, Francois Louw will come off the bench to replace Burger and UCT's exciting fullback, Tiger Bax, will called onto the bench.
