The former Junior Boks captain was earmarked to make his Springbok debut after an impressive outing against the Barbarians in June. He played all 80 minutes, carried eight times, completed all 11 of his tackles, and won four lineouts.

A hamstring injury ultimately prevented him from making his Test debut against England at Ellis Park.

Norton, JD Schickerling, Jurie Matthee, Olly Reid, Sazi Sandi and Lukhanyo Vokozela have all recovered from their respective injuries and will get valuable game time at Faure Street Stadium.

The Stormers will also give backs Andre Warner and Lleyton Davids an opportunity as John Dobson’s side steps up its preparations for the new URC season.

The Stormers get their campaign underway with a tough assignment away to Connacht in Galway on 25 September. Dobson believes the clash with the Bulls will provide an important reality check after an intense training camp in Hermanus.

“We’ve made some good plans and put in some hard work in training, but there is nothing like match situations against quality opposition to show you where you really stand. We are also using this match to bring a fair number of players back from injury and give them some gametime,” said the Stormers director of rugby.

Stormers squad:
Forwards: Luan Botha, Hacjivah Dayimani, Connor Evans, Neethling Fouche, Herman Lubbe, Louw Nel, Vernon Matongo, Riley Norton, Xola Nyali, Vernon Paulo, Gary Porter, Olly Reid, Sazi Sandi, JD Schickerling, Andre-Hugo Venter, Lukhanyo Vokozela.
Backs: Yaqeen Ahmed, Gino Cupido, Lleyton Davids, Mfundo Ndhlovu, Jurie Matthee, JC Mars, Dylan Miller, Markus Muller, Ezekiel Ngobeni, Jonathan Roche, Wandisile Simelane, Kyle Smith, Andre Warner.

Au Sénégal, c’est une démonstration de charité qui est rattrapée par la controverse. Le 5 septembre, le chef de l’État, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a annoncé un don de 500 millions de francs CFA d’une fondation dirigée par l’une de ses épouses pour l’acquisition de 200 000 billets d’entrée aux Jeux olympiques de la jeunesse à destination des écoles. S’en est suivie une véritable polémique sur les réseaux sociaux portant sur l’origine de cet argent.
