Stormers suffer Burger blow

Burger has failed to recover from a neck problem and is not available to face the Cell C Sharks.

Siya Kolisi has replaced Burger in the DHL Stormers starting 15, while Duane Vermeulen takes over the captaincy.

Stormers winger, Kobus van Wyk, has a wrist injury and will also miss the game at Growthpoint Kings Park.

His spot has gone to Sailosi Tagicakibau.

Kurt Coleman cracked the nod at flyhalf.

Others in the Stormers side include Cheslin Kolbe, Juan de Jongh, Michael Rhodes and Pat Cilliers.

Cell C Sharks also confirmed their starting 15 today.

The only change sees Marcell Coetzee replacing Jacques Botes at flank.

Kickoff is at 19h10.
