Cape Town - Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus has resisted the temptation to select Ollie le Roux in the team to tackle the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 15:00 local time.

The team shows two changes and two positional switches from the side that drew 13-all with the Waratahs at Newlands last weekend.

Pieter Myburgh comes in at openside flank with Luke Watson shifting to No 8 while Robbie Diack drops to the bench.

The front row also sees a reshuffle with Brian Mujati moving to tighthead and Schalk Ferreira returning at loosehead. Brok Harris has been selected on the bench.

Veteran prop Le Roux, who came to Cape Town to help the franchise, will not play due a strained calf incurred at Tuesday's training session.

Stormers:

Conrad Jantjes, Wylie Human, Gcobani Bobo, Jean De Villiers (captain), Sireli Naqelevuki, Peter Grant, Ricky Januarie, Luke Watson, Francois Louw, Pieter Myburgh, Andries Bekker, Adriaan Fondse, Brian Mujati, Schalk Brits, Schalk Ferreira.

Reserves: Deon Fourie, Brok Harris, Ross Skeate, Robbie Diack, Bolla Conradie, Tony Brown, Dylan Des Fountain.
