WATCH | Hot-steppers! Manie and Sacha do a dance for derby day ahead of Stormers returns

Flyhalves Manie Libbok and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu make their respective returns to the Stormers line-up that will take on the Lions at Cape Town Stadium in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.

The pair were in perfect harmony during training this week with a twinkle-toed football exchange that can only hark to the land of South African rugby's hot-steppers in the Western Cape.

The combo we've been waiting for ??

Both Libbok and Feinberg-Mngomezulu have been cleared to return to action after sitting out in recent Stormers outings due to concussion protocols.

Libbok, who has recovered since being hospitalised after a sickening tackle by Yannick Youyoutte in the Stormers' opening Champions Cup match against Toulon a fortnight ago, starts at flyhalf, while Feinberg-Mngomezulu will turn out at inside centre in the earlier South African derby (kick-off 15:45).

The struggling Cape Town franchise welcome the return of a handful of Springboks this weekend which also includes flankers Ben-Jason Dixon and Deon Fourie, who will captain the team against the Lions, as well as tighthead prop Frans Malherbe.

The second local derby between the Sharks and the Bulls kicks off at 18:00 at Kings Park.
