The Stormers are set to welcome Springbok World Cup-winning fullback Warrick Gelant back from France, according to a Sunday report.
Despite the URC season being over, coach John Dobson says he won't flood Western Province's Currie Cup team with all the Stormers players.
The Stormers' deflating defeat in this past weekend's United Rugby Championship (URC) final has been further dogged by numerous complaints that Western Province Rugby and its ticketing partner, Ticketpro, overbooked the showpiece match at the Cape Town Stadium.
He first needs to get down to business in Saturday's URC final, but that hasn't deterred Munster legend and former Irish international CJ Stander from endorsing Evan Roos for Springbok duty in this year's World Cup in France.
Four years ago, Andrea Piardi took a first step to refereeing stardom when he debuted in a PRO14 encounter between Munster and the Southern Kings at Musgrave Park in Cork, a relatively inauspicious occasion that saw a Munster B-team hammer the hapless Eastern Cape franchise 43-0.
Western Province's upcoming home Currie Cup clashes against the Pumas and Lions will be played at Athlone Stadium near Cape Town.
Tickets for the United Rugby Championship (URC) final at Cape Town Stadium will go on sale at 10:00 on Thursday.
The Stormers' quest for reaching consecutive URC final has duly turned into a steeper challenge following confirmation that they'll tackle Connacht without influential Springbok duo Deon Fourie and Marvin Orie in Saturday's semi-final clash at the Cape Town Stadium.
