The Stormers are set to be bolstered with some key members of the squad by the time they face the British & Irish Lions on 17 July.
Speaking ahead of the Western Province clash against the Sharks, John Dobson confirmed that Juan de Jongh has arrived in Cape Town and will begin training with the squad on Friday and will feature against the Griquas next week.
Juan de Jongh and Deon Fourie are both joining the union ahead of their entrance into the European fold when the United Rugby Championship gets underway later this year.
Alongside De Jongh, Salmaan Moerat, JD Schikerling and Nama Xaba are also expected to be fit for the epic clash in Cape Town which will be the last match ahead of the three tests against the Springboks for the tourists.
The tour begins on Saturday in Johannesburg as the Lions face their Johannesburg namesake the Emirates Lions at Ellis Park.
The Emirates Lions have also welcomed back some players for this clash with young flyhalf prodigy Jordan Hendrikse in the 23 as well as Lions stalwart and Springbok capped flank Jaco Kriel.
