The Stormers have named their 34-man squad for the Super Rugby tournament.
As per SANZAR regulations, all Super Rugby franchises have to name a registered group of players ahead of the season.
Injured players like hookers Tiaan Liebenberg (back) and Scarra Ntubeni (shoulder) and lock Eben Etzebeth (ankle) were thus all named in the Stormers squad but they will miss the opening rounds of action.
