Great to see James Leckie back in the reffing position instead of being assistant. I really like his reffing style.
Kirchner won't be there for the Bulls, Chiefs centres are uncertain, Rebels 10 is unknown, Big Kev and Samo will probably be in the 22 for the Reds and the Stormers will be without Elstadt and Vermeulen.

There was better news on the injury front for the DHL Stormers on Monday, with hooker Deon Fourie being given until Wednesday to prove his fitness ahead of his team's final Australasian tour match. Source here
Hill confirmed rookie Bryce Hegarty had earned the right to start at No.10 with an excellent debut against Auckland Blues at the weekend.
Rory Sidey will return to the starting side to replace the injured Angus Roberts and Lachie Mitchell is expected to move from the centres to the wing to replace Cooper Vuna. Wallaby James O'Connor, nursing sternoclavicular soreness, trained lightly yesterday and it is uncertain if he will be risked against the Stormers.
