Senatla in, Bok champs out for Stormers

Rugby

Seabelo Senatla is set to make a miraculous comeback for the DHL Stormers, but Steven Kitshoff and Damian Willemse have been removed from their Champions Cup roster.

According to News24, Senatla has been cleared to play and is expected to feature when the Stormers face Toulon at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, after being sidelined for 19 months with a severe arm injury from a car accident.

The 31-year-old winger, all-time leading try-scorer for the Blitzboks, will reportedly bolster a Stormers squad that is without the services of Leolin Zas and Ben Loader.

Kitshoff recently underwent neck fusion surgery, while fellow Springbok double world champion Willemse continues to struggle with a groin injury.

The pair have been deregistered by the Stormers for EPCR duty and replaced by Zachary Porthen and Jonathan Roche, respectively.
