Cape Town - There are two changes to the Stormers starting line-up for their United Rugby Championship clash with Glasgow Warriors at Cape Town Stadium on Friday.
John Dobson’s side will be looking to make it six consecutive wins when they host the Scottish outfit at 6.30pm on Friday.
Both changes to the starting team come in the forward pack, with Frans Malherbe back at tighthead prop and Junior Pokomela coming in at openside flank in the place of Deon Fourie, who is still recovering from a minor leg injury.
Lock Salmaan Moerat and fullback Warrick Gelant will both make their return from injury from the bench, with front row forwards Ali Vermaak and JJ Kotze also among the replacements.

"It is fantastic to welcome back the likes of Salmaan and Warrick, while also keeping some continuity in the team.
