Fourie and Orie return as Stormers name team to face Munster in URC final

Both players missed the semi-final due to injury but will take their places in the Stormers' starting line-up for the showpiece match, which kicks off at 18h30 on Saturday.

Tickets for this match sold out in a matter of hours last week and a capacity crowd is expected as the Cape Town outfit look to defend the title they won after beating the Bulls in the Grand Final last year.

The backline that started in the semi-final win against Connacht is unchanged, with the only change coming on the bench where Clayton Blommetjies steps in for the injured Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

Up front, the addition of Fourie and Orie means that hooker Joseph Dweba and lock Ruben van Heerden are the only starting forwards that did not feature in the URC Grand Final at DHL Stadium last season.

Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that it is a major boost to have the likes of Fourie and Orie back for the Grand Final.

"Both Deon and Marvin have been outstanding for us this season and they will add a lot both in terms of their ability and leadership on Saturday.

"We have a lot of respect for Munster, the truth is that we have never beaten them, so while we are thrilled to be playing at home we know it will be a big challenge against a good team.

"This will be the biggest crowd for any Stormers match and it should be an amazing occasion for the team, our passionate supporters and the city of Cape Town.

"We are so grateful for the support that we enjoy and what this team means to so many people. We will do our best to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy every moment and play the kind of rugby that got us here," he said.
