Overview
- John Dobson confirmed Wednesday that captain Ruhan Nel and winger Seabelo Senatla will be available for the May 30 United Rugby Championship quarter-final at DHL Stadium.
- Nel comes back as on-field leader and defensive organiser after a calf injury that kept him out of the late-season tour matches against Ulster and Cardiff.
- Senatla, a flyer Dobson says the team has missed all season, adds a breakaway threat that can stretch defenses and lift the crowd.
- Dobson said five or six players are returning to fitness, which lets him pick close to his strongest XV, with long-term absentees such as Cobus Reinach still unavailable.
- The Stormers host Cardiff in Cape Town, and the club says a home crowd could sharpen their edge for the knockout tie.
