Van der Merwe returns to boost Scarlets against the Stormers
South Wales Evening Post
|October 10, 2025
SPRINGBOK hooker Marnus van der Merwe returns to the Scarlets starting XV for tonight's BKT United Rugby Championship round three clash with DHL Stormers at Parc y Scarlets (7:45pm).
-
Capped by South Africa in the summer, van der Merwe (pictured) is named in a Scarlets side showing two personnel changes from the lineup named for the postponed match against Connacht last weekend.
With Jake Ball picking up a head knock in training, the lock is going through the return-to-play protocols so Tristan Davies starts in the second row alongside Max Douglas.
Former Scarlet Steve Cummins has arrived as loan cover from the Dragons and is named on the bench.
The back division is unchanged with centre Johnny Williams set to lead the side for the first time.
Blair Murray, Ellis Mee and Tom Rogers make up an all-international back three, with Williams linking up with Joe Roberts in midfield.
