Lions fullback cleared for Stormers clash

Coetzee sustained a hamstring strain during a warm-up at last week's Bok training camp in Stellenbosch, but he has since recovered to be included in Johan Ackermann's starting XV.

Meanwhile, centre Lionel Mapoe returns after being sidelined with a hand injury and replaces Harold Vorster, who moves to the bench in the place of Jacques Nel.

Johannes Jonker makes his return to the bench after he suffered a knock to the head against the Reds, while Sylvian Mahuza is also back among the replacements.

Prop Ruan Dreyer will play in his 50th Super Rugby game against the Stormers at Newlands.
