Louw replacing injured Burger only change to Stormers
There are no surprises in the Stormers side to face the Brumbies! Pieter Myburgh comes onto the bench as Pieter Louw moves up to the starting 15.
Coach Alister Coetzee is confident of a strong performance by his side:
“I think besides the defensive effort we put in as a side, I’m very pleased with the victory at home,” he said.
“As a team, we’re really growing. Last week we went up to the Lions and played against an unknown quality of team with a different coach at altitude.
“This week we came down to Newlands and lost our captain in the first couple of minutes in the game.
“It just shows me that the side is really growing. Andries Bekker had to take over the leadership and there was a lot of composure in the side. To pull off a game against the Waratahs says that as a team we’re improving every week.”
