New Zealand kick-off their first tour of South Africa since 1996.
Watch Stormers v New Zealand as Dave Rennie’s side get their Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry campaign underway in Cape Town.
The All Blacks haven’t toured South Africa since 1996, so they’ll be looking to lay down a marker as they build up to four Tests against the world champion Springboks. Although Rennie hasn’t named a full-strength side, the 23 is packed with talent, including the returning Beauden Barrett who starts at fly-half after missing the recent Nations Championship. Second row Patrick Tuipulotu will skipper the side.
On paper, the All Blacks should be too much for a Stormers side that reached the semi-finals of the URC. But with home advantage and the opportunity to make history, some players will surely see this as one of the biggest games of their lives. Can they rise to the occasion?
