Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus revealed he had a phone call with Stormers boss John Dobson about the roles of Evan Roos and Salmaan Moerat.
Salmaan Moerat may not always grab the headlines, but according to Nick Mallett, he makes a valuable contribution to the Springboks' engine room.
The Springboks are bracing for a bruising rematch in Gqeberha, fully aware of the fight Italy showed in the second half at Loftus but determined to snuff out any chances of a repeat performance.
The Stormers will welcome the return of several key players as they prepare for a vital four-match home run in the United Rugby Championship (URC), beginning with a Round 15 encounter against Connacht in Cape Town on Saturday.
Lock Salmaan Moerat will earn his 50th cap for the Stormers in the United Rugby Championship encounter with the Lions at DHL Stadium on Saturday.
Salmaan Moerat makes his return from injury and will captain the Stormers in the Investec Champions Cup clash with Harlequins in London on Saturday.
