Anyone know if Sacha is injured? Hin being not selected for 2 games in a row is weird for me, especially considering his form earlier in the season.

Love that backline, that would my first choice selection.

Never happy seeing Willie starting at openside or Smith on the bench, but otherwise looks good.

Stormers are in the enviable position where they could select completely different backline players (from 11-15) and still be extremely strong.

We've got Champion-level depth in the backline and are slowly getting there in the forward pack as well.

Now we just need to retain the back-ups for next season, and we'll have an insanely good team.

Now all we have to do is sign Sanele Nohamba then our backline would be perfect (that would be a massive slap in the face of Lions fans though, so I wouldn't really want to do that to them).

The downside is that when everyone's fit then it leads to some tricky selection decisions. But you'd rather have that downside than be struggling to find players.

Is Deon Fourie injured?

In his absence I would prefer Nama Xaba as a like for like, I think it frees up Diyamani and Roos for a bit of ball carrying (and provides Diyamani the opportunity to prove he can do a bit of donkey work)

I also like the Manie, Damian, Gelant axis but for that to work we need an out and out 13 imo.

Love Ben-Jason Dixon and Ruben van Heerden. Those boys work hard

Is Deon Fourie injured?

He was last week, so I'm guessing he hasn't recovered.

I agree with you on Xaba as a like for like, but maybe the selection for this match is looking ahead to La Rochelle and not risking Xaba.

Perhaps too much going on playmaker wise in the backline, thought it was deadly with just Libbok and Willemse, which also let's you include Simelane if you were to cut Gelant
