Stormers have named their team to take on Jaguares in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

Hooker Bongi Mbonambi will make his first start of the 2018 Super Rugby season for the Stormers against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

He is joined in the front row by props Steven Kitshoff and Wilco Louw, with Ramone Samuels, JC Janse van Rensburg and Frans Malherbe on the replacements bench.

In the second row Cobus Wiese forms a lock partnership with Jan de Klerk, with 20-year-old Salmaan Moerat set to provide an impact in the second half.
