Orie and Fourie return to Stormers team to face Munster

Marvin Orie and Deon Fourie have both returned to the DHL Stormers lineup for Saturday's BKT United Rugby Championship final with Munster.

The pair missed the semi-final win against Connacht due to injury, and are the only changes from the XV that beat Andy Friend's side 43-25.

Orie comes into the second row to replace Ben-Jason Dixon who drops to the bench, partnering Ruben van Heerden in the second row.

Fourie has also been cleared to return to the side, with the veteran Springbok coming in at blindside flanker, joining Evan Roos and Hacjivah Dayimani in a powerful back row, while Willie Engelbrecht is on the bench.

Leading the pack is an all-Springbok front row of Ulster-bound loosehead Steven Kitschoff, Joseph Dweba at hooker and Frans Malherbe at tighthead.

The backline is unchanged from the semi-final win, with Herschel Jantjies and Manie Libbok pairing off in the half-backs as expected.

Seabelo Senatla remains sidelined, having been injured in a car crash a number of weeks ago, with Leolin Zas and Angelo David on the wings, either side of South Africa international Damian Willemse at full-back.

Dan du Plessis and Ruhan Nel are side by side in the centre.

Munster were 26-24 winners when the sides met in Round 17 of the regular season last month, but the defending champions show five changes from the team that started that defeat oin Cpe Town, with Fourie, Roos, Jantjies, Zas and Davids all coming in since.

DHL Stormers: Damian Willemse; Angelo Davids, Ruhan Nel, Dan du Plessis, Leolin Zas; Manie Libbok, Herschel Jantjies; Steven Kitshoff (capt), Joseph Dweba, Frans Malherbe, Marvin Orie, Ruben van Heerden; Deon Fourie, Hacjivah Dayimani, Evan Roos

Replacements: JJ Kotze, Ali Vermaak, Neethling Fouche, Ben-Jason Dixon, Willie
