Seabelo Senatla will start on the left wing for the Stormers against the Sunwolves in Singapore on Saturday.
Stormers coach Robbie Fleck has made eight personnel changes and three positional shifts from the side that beat the Kings in Port Elizabeth a fortnight ago.
Senatla, inside centre Dan Kriel, No 8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, captain Siya Kolisi, locks JD Shickerling and Chris van Zyl and props Wilco Louw and JC Janse van Rensburg have all been named in the starting lineup.
Additionally, Dillyn Leyds moves from right wing to fullback, with Bjorn Basson shifting from left to right wing. In the pack, Notshe reverts from flank to eighthman.
Teenage lock Cobus Wiese was selected on the bench and could make his Super Rugby debut if he is used later in the match.
Fleck called on his charges to maintain their focus for the full 80 minutes against the hosts.
‘It has been a good week of preparation for us and we are really excited to see the players in the match-day squad take this opportunity,’ he said. ‘We know it will be tough against the Sunwolves here in Singapore, but it is a challenge that excites us.’
