The Stormers – still flying high from their 35-0 lashing of defending champions Leinster – could have extra options available for Friday’s Vodacom URC clash against the Ospreys at Cape Town Stadium.

John Dobson’s side has been decimated by pre-season injuries, but two heavies and a Springbok are set to be available for selection this week.

SMITH: Green and gold is my target

Front row reinforcements in Scotland international Oli Kebble and Sazi Sandi as well as world cup-winner Deon Fourie are set to alleviate some of Dobson’s headaches. Forwards coach Rito Hlungwani confirmed the news to the media on Monday.

“Marcel [Theunissen] has a laceration [to the face] but he should be fine as far as I know,” Hlungwani said.

“Everyone is fit. Some guys are returning to full fitness. Oli Kebble, Sazi Sandi, and Deon Fourie are all returning to training.”

The Stormers’ new recruit Ntuthuko Mchunu is also set to be fit ahead of their European tour which starts against the Scarlets on 10 October.
