Ricky Januarie has been dropped from the Stormers squad to play the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday in one of several changes to the team beaten by the Bulls.

Coach Allister Coetzee has decided to start Juan de Jongh in the No.12 jersey, but has decided to accommodate Jean de Villiers on the right wing.

Gio Aplon has been picked at fullback with Conrad Jantjies dropping to the bench.

As expected, Peter Grant returns to team at flyhalf and will partner scrumhalf Dewaldt Duvenage. Ricky Schroeder is the replacement scrumhalf. 

Dropping to the bench is charismatic hooker Deon Fourie, whose place is taken by Tiaan Liebenberg.

SANZAR will be rewarding each national conference log-winner on Saturday, with the Reds the only team already guaranteed silverware as they have an unassailable 10-point lead on top of the Australian conference.

Stormers: Gio Aplon, Jean de Villiers, Jacque Fourie, Juan de Jongh, Bryan Habana, Peter Grant, Dewaldt Duvenage, Duane Vermeulen, François Louw, Schalk Burger, Andries Bekker, Rynhardt Elstadt, Brock Harris, Tiaan Liebenberg, Wicus Blaauw. 

Replacements: Deon Fourie, Frans Malherbe, Anton van Zyl, Ricky Schroeder, Johann Sadie, Conrad Jantjes.
