The All Blacks have opened their South African tour with a 38-21 win over the Stormers, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story.

Jamie Wall is joined in Cape Town by South African rugby journalist Brendan Nel to break down the performance, including the All Blacks’ strong start, two yellow cards, concerns around the scrum, maul defence and high ball, plus the impact of the bench and debuts for Siale Lauaki and Josh Jacomb.

They also look ahead to Durban and the Sharks, where All Blacks legend Ma’a Nonu is set to line up against his old side. Inspired selection or a gimmick?
