Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Star fetcher Deon Fourie is back in the Stormers starting XV for Saturday’s URC quarter-final against the Bulls in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Fourie had been sidelined for a month since suffering a fractured eye socket in the Stormers’ Champions Cup last 16 win over Harlequins on 1 April.<\/p>\n

A fit-again Leolin Zas also starts at left wing in place of Seabelo Senatla, who suffered concussion in the 38-22 win over Benetton in Stellenbosch on 21 April.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, centre Ruhan Nel, scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies, hooker Joseph Dweba and prop Frans Malherbe also return to the starting line-up, having featured off the bench in the final league match of the season against Benetton.<\/p>\n

The new faces among the replacements are lock Gary Porter and utility back Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who recently starred for Western Province in the Currie Cup.<\/p>\n

Stormers head coach John Dobson said they were looking forward to playing in front of a big crowd at Cape Town Stadium. Close to 40 000 tickets had been sold on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

“We will have our biggest crowd of the season for a North-South knock-out game, so this is something everyone has been looking forward to.<\/p>\n

“It is fantastic to have the likes of Deon and Leolin back in the mix for this one, they have both made such a big impact for us in recent times.<\/p>\n

“We are very proud of what we have already achieved this season as our goal was to broaden depth across the squad and consolidate our position. To have hosted a Champions Cup playoff, retain the SA Shield and have a home United Rugby Championship quarter-final on top of capping as many players as we have means a lot to us.<\/p>\n

“We are really excited about the future and the new generation of players coming through, but right now it\u2019s all about Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We want to play the kind of rugby that has got us into this position and repay the incredible support we get with a worthy performance,” Dobson said.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s clash kicks off at 15:30.<\/p>\n
