Stormers head coach Allister Coetzee has named an unchanged starting team for their Super Rugby match against the Chiefs with Peter Grant still on the bench and Elton Janties in the starting line up. 

The Stormers will take on the defending champion Chiefs at Newlands on Saturday and Coetzee has kept the changes to a minimum by making just two adjustments to the bench.

Fit-again Springbok hooker Tiaan Liebenberg comes in for Martin Bezuidenhout on the bench, whilst Dewaldt Duvenage replaces Louis Schreuder as the back-up to starting No.9 Nic Groom.

Groom will, again, combine with Elton Jantjies at halfback, with Damian de Allende and captain Jean de Villiers starting at centre for the third match in succession - giving the team much-needed continuity in crucial backline positions.

The Stormers have not played against the Chiefs at Newlands since 2009, but these two sides have enjoyed some great battles over the years in Super Rugby, with the Stormers leading the head-to-head tally by eight wins to the Chiefs' six victories.
