Damian Willemse is delighted to have Hacjivah Diyamani back in the Stormers setup in time for the end of the United Rugby Championship season.
Lions forward Ruan Venter is eager to put a difficult period behind him and compete for a place in the Springbok squad later this year.
Lions head coach Ivan van Rooyen believes Boan Venter will arrive at Ellis Park with a point to prove ahead of his move to Johannesburg next season.
Bulls star Sebastien de Klerk is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a suspected broken foot against the Stormers.
Springbok hopeful Juarno Augustus returned to action with a bang over the weekend, after spending the better part of three months on the sidelines.
