Springbok scrumhalf Ricky Januarie has been included in the Stormers' starting line-up for the visit of the NSW Waratahs in the Super 14.

Januarie was named ahead of Dewaldt Duvenage by coach Allister Coetzee on Thursday for the contest at Newlands.

Januarie, who returned to the Stormers at the beginning of the season after a spell at the Ospreys in Wales, came on as a substitute in the opening victory over the Lions.

Duvenage will be amongst the replacements.

JC Kritzinger was picked by Coetzee in place of the injured Wicus Blaauw at loosehead prop and Argentinian front row forward Eusebio Guinazu has been brought in on the bench.

Schalk Burger will again captain the team and fellow Springboks Bryan Habana and Jaque Fourie, who both made impressive debuts in the Lions game, retain their places in the backline.

Fourie scored a try in Johannesburg against his former team, while Habana set up a five-pointer for Joe Pietersen.

Stormers: Joe Pietersen, Gio Aplon, Jaque Fourie, Juan De Jongh, Bryan Habana, Peter Grant, Ricky Januarie; JC Kritzinger, Tiaan Liebenberg, Brok Harris, De Kock Steenkamp, Andries Bekker, Schalk Burger (capt), Francois Louw, Duane Vermeulen. Res: Deon Fourie, Eusebio Guinazu, Anton Van Zyl, Pieter Louw, Dewaldt Duvenage, Lionel Cronje, Sireli Naqelevuki.
