Stormers hooker Scarra Ntubeni and lock JD Schickerling will be available for selection against the Sharks at Newlands on Saturday.

Both players featured for Western Province in the Provincial Rugby Challenge on Sunday on their return from injury.

However, Bok lock Eben Etzebeth remains unavailable due to a back and nerve injury, while scrumhalf Justin Phillips is battling a rib injury and will be assessed in the week to determine if he is fit to play.

The Stormers will also be without fullback SP Marais, who has a quad injury.
