With several key Springboks unavailable, including Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Cobus Reinach and Damian Willemse, the Stormers have been forced to experiment with new combinations in their backline. Matthee, however, is confident that the squad's versatility will allow them to adjust seamlessly.

"We have a couple of guys who can slot in anywhere. The connection is there," he said. "Hopefully we can play in the right areas and find each other on the field as well. It went well on the training pitch."
