The Stormers have made two changes to its starting lineup to tackle the Crusaders in Christchurch this weekend.

Experienced tight-head prop Brock Harris returns to the Stormers front row.

Springbok flyer Gio Aplon has been bracketed on the bench after injuring himself against the Highlanders last weekend, and will have to pass a late fitness test for inclusion in the final 22.

Aplon’s place in the starting 15 has been taken by former Bulls speedster Gerhard van der Heever who will wear the number fourteen jersey, while JP du Plessi will feature if Aplon does not pass fit.

The Crusaders and Stormers match kicks off at 7.35pm this Saturday.

Meanwhile, at 7.35pm tomorrow, the Blues will play the Sharks.
