Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Evan Roos returns to the Stormers’ starting lineup against Ulster in a United Rugby Championship clash in Belfast as Ali Vermaak starts in his 50th match for the franchise.<\/p>\n

Roos impressed on his return from injury last weekend, scoring a try when coming off the bench in the Stormers’ 30-16 Champions Cup victory over Clermont.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Hacjivah Dayimani is not in the squad for the Ulster match, and Roos will be joined in the loose forwards by flanks Junior Pokomela and Willie Engelbrecht.<\/p>\n

In the backline, Jean-Luc du Plessis starts at flyhalf, with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu in the No 12 jersey.<\/p>\n

Cornel Smith will make his second appearance in this year’s URC as he takes his place on the left wing.<\/p>\n

The bench includes Springboks Juan de Jongh, Scarra Ntubeni and Herschel Jantjies.<\/p>\n

Speaking after naming his side, which features 10 changes from last week, Stormers coach John Dobson said he was excited by the combinations picked for the encounter.<\/p>\n

“It is another short turnaround this week, but we are excited to see what these combinations can do,” said Dobson.<\/p>\n

“We have been bolstered by the return of some experienced players, and we will need all of it against a good Ulster side.”<\/p>\n

Kick-off is at 21:35 SA time.<\/p>\n
