Boks muscle returns as Stormers hunt French scalps in Champions Cup opener

THE Stormers will keep a keen eye on their former star player Herschel Jantjies should the scrumhalf turn out for new club Bayonne on Friday evening in their opening Champions Cup pool clash.

Loose forward Ben-Jason Dixon will add some grunt and physicality, while tighthead Zachary Porthen and loosehead Ntuthuko Mchunu add more power to the scrum of the Cape side.

While the Boks are a welcome addition to the squad for the duel, it is still uncertain if any of them will feature. The Stormers scrum is currently an unstoppable force, and there will be little temptation to change things up front ahead of the clash.
