Stormers face switch-up after late injury

Head coach John Dobson has rejigged the Stormers’ starting XV for Saturday’s round-five URC clash against Ulster in Cape Town.

Junior star Markus Muller, initially not named in the match 23, will now run out in the No 12 jersey at Cape Town Stadium.

It is a second consecutive start for Muller, who replaces the injured Jonathan Roche.

The 19-year-old Muller was on Wednesday named in the Springboks’ 37-man squad for the second leg of the Nations Championship.
