Fondse returns to face Cheetahs

Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus has made only one change to his side for the match against the Cheetahs at Newlands on Saturday. Lock Ross Skeate drops back to the bench, with Erasmus preferring the heavier and more physical approach of Adriaan Fondse against the strong Cheetahs' pack. Fondse was on the bench in the side that beat the Western Force in Perth in the last game of the overseas leg of the Stormers' campaign. Scrum-half Bolla Conradie is back in the matchday 22 after he was forced to come back home early from the side's Australasian tour due to a leg injury. This week, however, there was doubt about his participation in Saturday's game because of a bout of the 'flu. The former Springbok has been declared fit and he replaces the young Conrad Hoffmann on the bench. Former All Black, Highlanders and Sharks fly-half Tony Brown is still on the bench, with Erasmus preferring to start with the in-form Peter Grant. Stormers: 15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 Tonderai Chavhanga, 13 Gcobani Bobo, 12 Jean De Villiers (c), 11 Sireli Naqelevuki, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Ricky Januarie, 8 Luke Watson, 7 Francois Louw, 6 Schalk Burger, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Adriaan Fondse, 3 Brian Mujati, 2 Schalk Brits, 1 JD Moller.
Replacements: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Brok Harris, 18 Ross Skeate, 19 Robbie Diack, 20 Bolla Conradie, 21 Tony Brown, 22 Gio Aplon.
