00:00here this evening set the tone for a tour john dobson said for this concept to work
00:06the franchise of provincial teams have to run the all blacks close they have to make it
00:12the contest that the rivalry deserves and yakin amit well he may have been emotional but he was
00:19smiling throughout that national anthem a recent junior world cup winner in the green and gold
00:25and now getting his first opportunity in a stormer's jersey against none other than the all blacks
00:39the rugby's greatest rivalry tour is underway with a contestable kickoff from young yakin amit
00:48and controlled by the captain on the night patrick two people are too quickly out the back from
00:53bowden barrett and wide for a rico juani cortez ratima a couple of runners to choose and gets
01:04samisoni tolke oho quickly off the line comes sanatla to make the tackle on leonard brown
01:13at the back from holland and then black eye through the middle finding the space
01:19back tackle was from yakin amit who's quick to bounce as well barrett with the kick in behind
01:25the chase back for leonard zuss hunted down by leroy carter
01:33he's done really well there leonard zuss to get back and secure that ball
01:39he might come on thinking of the kick then taken down by tolke oho
01:46excellent early energy from the all blacks and yakin amit filling in at strum half
01:54use it please
02:02a little touch on that from two pelotti perhaps no play on cross kick from bowden barrett looking for
02:08rico juani
02:12wonderful little ball out of the back of the hand
02:17high intensity high tempo from the all blacks first up anton segner late inclusion in the team after
02:24the withdrawal of wallace satiti barrett hit hard in the tackle tolke oho with a
02:30third carry in the game so far inside the first two minutes juani drag towards touching the flag
02:42some big statements in the opening too an explosive start from the old blacks
02:47yeah bodenbrand showing his experience just looking at the backfield cover from the stormers at three
02:52back and they decided to run out of their own half they got the line break and a front foot
02:57kick and
02:58that's what he's known for voting practice that cross kick option that kick pass and the relationship
03:03between him and ricky arnie showing but good defense eventually from the stormers you know
03:09that cycle lasted a total of two minutes of defense which is really good four-man line
03:15out called the dhl stormers wonderful take from connor evans under pressure
03:24okay trapped under okay now it's available we'll use it please keep it under the foot imantan
03:32back for warwick galant strong early carry from yakin ahmad who was hit very hard in the tackle
03:40he's got his first taste of all black defense with an excellent clearance from warwick galant
03:46a great kick from warwick well they've gone quickly and leroy carter looking for the inside ball it
03:53wasn't on so holds it up for tokeoho
03:59ratima tui pelotu finding segna
04:10penalty going the way of the all blacks beyond free thought he had rights but he was off his feet
04:20first action is on his elbows and second one off feet i think i met the intention is clear from
04:26the
04:26all blacks they want to keep the ball in play as much as possible two brave players from the line
04:30out instead of taking the line out playing the quick play they want to build pressure with ball
04:35in hand make the stormers team make a lot of tackles so they can tire them out imat khan a
04:41former
04:41south african under 20 international also played for the saa team look at that just the knee without any
04:57contact
05:02anguish scream from
05:05the stormers scrum half they've only got two backline players on the bench one of them is
05:09dearval divanaka the veteran 38 year old scrum half
05:14six six that's one over 100 games for the stormers
05:2297 caps for benetton treviso you don't need to worry about it you're okay
05:27you're going to kick for the corner and carl dixon just explaining to the stormers it will be a six
05:32-man
05:32line-out but that is a crippling blow for the stormers early on
05:36uh hopefully it's not too bad that this imat khan at least is walking never a good sight if you
05:44get
05:44hurt and doesn't any action i think i know exactly how that feels it's as long as it's work
05:50walking hopefully it's not too bad
05:55okay all hands fabian holland
06:00and the all-black small getting to work
06:05slack pulls and then a shift to the right
06:08illegally taken down says carl dixon
06:13sacked it down yep
06:17you might be on the ball but you can't put it down still a mole stormers under a lot of
06:22a lot of
06:23pressure today a couple of penalties in the first five minutes of this game they've done a lot of
06:27defending just in that line of defense interesting that they let them get the middle ball with the
06:34best ball to set from
06:47another six man but this time it's for simon parker
06:51at two in the line out talk a whole controlling at the tail a little bit of a sideways shift
06:57but still
06:57going forward get invited another penalty advantage showing and the penalty advantage explained by the referee for
07:14stormers players getting beyond the ball and pulling
07:17opposition players back towards their line new interpretation of the mall that is outlawed
07:25first try at the tour scored by samasoni tokyo
07:30it's a good for the good initial shove from the stormers
07:34giving forcing them giving them the front ball but they just pulled out where the all blacks were able to
07:38build a back corner
07:40it's the most tokyo
07:43patient behind that mall which is a great skill and eventually
07:46the all blacks join first blood
07:59team try
08:00barrett has 107 of his test match points against south africa now has his first three against the
08:06storms good set from the from the all blacks eventually building that back corner there was not a
08:11lot of pressure on the inside and good patience thrown from toasty and tokyo staying in that fight
08:17pumping their legs eventually getting over for the first team try sobbing uncontrollably imad khan he knows
08:29instinctively the severity of that injury
08:33deeper this time from yakin ahmed on the kickoff
08:36signa lining up for a carry tokyo hole trying to go through the middle and finding cortez ratima
08:45they're finding gaps they're finding space
08:48at will so far little show from bowden barrett then the chip and chase
09:01lots to unpack here i'm not sure that anybody got hands on the ball but it may have been carried
09:07back it's knocked on by black in the field of play so we've got no on-field decision okay
09:16just want to check the restart we have no on-field decision we're not in a credible position to make
09:23that call yep no worries
09:27so it's all going to be left to andrew jackson the tmo
09:33to unpack this there was a suggestion of maybe a knock-on
09:38that's what karl dixton was saying to his assistant matthew carley may have been a knock-on before
09:43ball crossed the line was it there
09:57so give us a bit of view yeah off the hand of bowden barrett
10:02so a knock on by black so that'll be a scrum the first one of the game yeah it's a
10:07knock-on
10:07in the field of play by black they have a decision to knock on by black in the field of
10:12play it's a
10:12scrum blue ball
10:17storm was under a lot of pressure again from the kickoff the old blacks set up a middle racket
10:23two sides to attack and the line break through the middle let's be patient by ratima corte
10:29three right just thomas just need to make sure if they're gonna kick off pin them in the corner
10:34force them to play out of their own 22 just need to be a little bit accurate and the defensively
10:39don't put themselves under pressure
10:44george power on the loose head 26 test matches three of those against south africa
10:52that is the result of the war cry contest that was run around schools in the region
11:01was an opportunity to attend this opening match of the tour
11:10that's gone against basilio tosi
11:14it was a converted loose forward i know there's a loose forward the front row was never anything that
11:22you considered but tender amtawa rira to tukum kunu both loose forwards who's gone on to play test
11:31rugby for south africa in the front row so too basilio tosi of the hurricanes
11:38just tossing overextending and eventually slipping on his behind
11:42legs a little bit too far back i mean conditions also slippery underfoot as well get you just need
11:48to get his feet a little bit closer so he can get a nice hit
11:53andre hija finta pressure applied by patrick two pelotty but
11:59found his man at the tail in hachiba daimani and simon parker late on the sack
12:08the storm is getting a bit of momentum i've got a penalty of the scrum penalty of the mall is
12:13all just
12:13slowly getting himself back into the game just to get some rhythm build pressure with ball in hand
12:20it's unfortunately sacking there from simon parker off that mall the opportunity for the storm was
12:26first time in the all blacks half let's see what they can do for us simon parker with two starts
12:34against south africa in the test matches in 2025 didn't play a part in the nation's championship
12:42matches this season
12:45no contest that time audrey smith is the target
12:49one stop calls to see coming around the side of the mall to
12:58stem the surge
13:00but now dion farree breaking away quick ball for diva divanaka
13:07chiba daimani
13:09all the way ahmed
13:13he's looking for a soft little ball
13:17three caps back for a penalty against
13:22passelio torsi for collapsing the mall
13:27dion farree who's just a few weeks away from his 40th birthday
13:31showing great energy to break away
13:35from that mall the ball transfer from andrei hikofenta
13:39it's at said pure pressure from the storm has started from the from the scrum
13:45a mall and then another one as well it's honestly seen opportunity in more than more the other small
13:51defense set that mall just build a lot of pressure get themselves back into the game the all blacks
13:56want to keep the ball in play and build pressure of ball in hand where the storm was of a
14:02powerful
14:02mall where we've seen over the years used it to great effect in this season's united rugby championship
14:12tournament
14:13six-man line out and connor evans the target at the tail another penalty advantage evan rewis
14:30pick and drive from dion farree then another from evan rewis
14:36piling on the pressure with the carry here the stormers
14:40when neil and push here another penalty advantage is it finds mutongo
14:51johnny roach making meters over the game line here
14:55you take it evan rewis looking for another pick and go
15:02no don't go in don't want the penalty now they want more yakin armad with the hoist
15:08towards siabelo sanakla
15:22you know where we go next okay
15:29yes
15:32you have a choice you've obviously got a thrown across of air and you've got an offside
15:36midfield
15:38yeah so it'll be about 10 meters out that's said piece pressure again matt from the from the stormers
15:46ill-disciplined instead instead of stopping them all four penalties in a row but the stormers have
15:52found momentum now with their said piece game you know where this is going to go as well set that
15:56more
15:57build pressure get themselves back into this game okay so we're looking at a um upright tackle by
16:05black 12. the tmo andrew jackson has come in let's have a look asking the refereeing team
16:15on the field to have a look at a tackle by anton leonard brown
16:2190 test match veteran 12 of those against the springboks
16:29now possibly in a bit of trouble
16:42johnny roach it was
16:44just need to see the reverse angle
16:46yep coming up he was carrying yeah that is a shoulder today
16:53okay yeah i know and just playing real speed
17:07okay next one's going in real speed for you i mean johnny roach is dropping yeah
17:11and we have screener anyway so responsibility also falls falls to the tackler okay so
17:18we're happy that meets the other card threshold okay
17:22so obviously we do have an upright tackle and we do have head we do have an upright tackle and
17:26we do have
17:26head contact so it meets the other card threshold or feel for a bit so so i have a decision
17:30so 12 is
17:32upright and we have head contact it meets the other card threshold
17:36i don't know that's not my decision to make i'm not a medic okay
17:47a good goal we've got something in brown will be disappointed okay just wait to see what happens
17:50we didn't drop it we didn't drop it body height in the tackle take the jumping across
17:56so they had the option of a penalty where that tackle was made or this one 15 meters in from
18:02the right hand touch line about 10 meters out and the ruan now quick discussion with his fly half
18:09and they've opted to set up another line out opportunity
18:28andre hitler fainter another ball for connor evans
18:34down three
18:38to see was called out of the contest so too now no no tauke oho still the same ball
18:46on the ball but now the stormers are searching forward
18:59it's a great response to the early try andre hitler fainter
19:04kept a couple of times by south africa but this will be a lifelong memory scoring against the all
19:11blacks in front of his stormers home ground an absolute powerhouse more from the stormers
19:18third time lucky the third time lucky building the corner if the first year staying in the fight and
19:24eventually andre hugo fainter finishes in the same old pumping legs working together
19:30i've had a lot of momentum and success and eventually they convert into points
19:44the first kicker goal in the stormers jersey
19:49high school superbe strike from the young man that said said peace pressure again from the stormers
19:57setting that mall patient building the back corner towards the touch line
20:03towards the trial line and working together okay so we're looking at a clear breakaway by
20:10stormers which has impacted the new zealand defense so we're looking at a truck and trailer
20:14obstruction is that correct that's correct yeah okay well this might be chalked off
20:22so my life my live view was that it was the same mall and new zealand had spun it
20:32angles coming for you now thanks mate so cole dixon saying he felt it was the same wall and
20:38new zealand had spun it tokyo is still part of that wall and he's around the legs of evan
20:46rus comes before this car someone other one is fabian holland there now tauke or who will will join
21:03again ah you see it was just that detachment
21:18tauke is right around the back now watch where he rejoins
21:25and does make contact but only after the breakaway is made with netlik for sheer in front
21:33that is what the tmo is looking at
21:43but in the spin outs before that yeah
21:50okay so six yeah six pulling and for me for me that's a multiple penalty i'm looking at yellow car
21:57for 16 if we've done that okay jacko so i have a decision just done by coming back to you
22:03now okay
22:04so there is a swing in action um by the strongers number three is ahead however six all blacks is
22:12on
22:12the wrong side and pulling and not in a legal position that's a number of line out penalties in a
22:17row
22:18so it's going to be a yellow card against number six for multiple infringement and a penalty number six
22:24six black so simon parker there's multiple line-out infringement
22:36so the stormers did make contact after the breakaway causing the obstruction but they can go again
22:47with a similar line out with
22:51one pulling on the wrong side this all black defending so there was there was obstruction but
22:55six was on the wrong side pulling illegally well no because the breakaway happens after so it's not
23:01brilliant but you get the penalty and it's a yellow car another opportunity for the stormers well we've
23:06had two two yellow cards so we're okay let's go let's run now just asking for some clarity for his
23:12boys but i'll have to do it again now keep it simple wherever they win the ball to have a
23:17good set
23:18and build that set piece pressure again which they've done exceptionally well as the stormers outfit
23:32how much of those two yellow cards hurt the old blacks and certainly no contest
23:39getting immediate forward momentum that time
23:44and the ball is down dion free he's been a menace in the game so far and he's now first
23:52on the board
23:55wonderful memories of playing against the all blacks
24:02cut down by injury for much of last season and he wouldn't have missed this for the world
24:09another try from the stormers good set they won the ball in the front but look at them working together
24:15achieve a diamond is sacrificing himself refusing to get tackled thank you good tackle fight from
24:23dion free the 39 year old
24:29so slightly more difficult conversion attempt for yakin ahmed but the result is exactly the same
24:36over the middle of the crossbar he strikes it nicely doesn't it is yeah from the bunker um he's going
24:45to
24:45remain the yellow card because a lot of the force goes through the body so remaining all blacks of 13
24:49men
24:50can the stormers make that count for the next 10 or so minutes a good set from the stormers working
24:56together the efforting for sheer could have gone to the touchline but pumping their legs
25:01working towards the touchline and who better to finish that multi
25:08side tricky period for the all blacks to manage now i have heard as that conversion was being taken that
25:15the yellow card to anton leonard brown for the head contact will remain a yellow card yeah use it please
25:23let's go please now
25:28the ball to be a contestable kick not looking for touchless forward by the all blacks and one back on
25:36the side of the storms leolins us couldn't get away from ratima great still but it's a knock on really
25:46good
25:46still we have no advantage for the knock on billy proctor showing excellent skill over the ball another one who
25:53started both the test matches last season against south africa at eden park and wellington
25:59here's our mark coming back for that knock on the leader of carter unfortunately losing the ball backwards
26:05i don't know if you guys have noticed how teams instead of once once they receive a contestable kick
26:13instead of the fullback coming in the track at the wing who was facing the child line to catch it
26:17from
26:17behind a little tactic that's changed in rugby with the contestables but a good kick from the experience
26:24to evolve divanaka creating that contest let's go getting that said piece better which is what they want
26:31crown seven in the scrum
26:38to go to the side of the scrum
26:44collapse but available three too long it's an advantage for that scrum roach and sanaka just couldn't get into
26:55his stride little stumble and proctor on hand to make the tackle connor evans steady supply of line
27:04out ball from young second row so far
27:09proctor with the intersection juani thinks he's clear but he's not
27:14going back to the scrum penalty number three
27:21another scrum penalty against basilio torsi
27:27number three vernon motongo getting the better of him
27:32two out of two for motongo again to see his legs are just a little bit too far matt
27:38he needs to get his legs a little bit slower in these conditions
27:41so he can get a proper hit and you can chase your legs after that he's already over extended in
27:46that position
27:48the call coming from holly davidson on the far side it was a
27:53little late from carl dixon he he'd allowed the ball to get played away
27:58got the call from his assistant
28:08he's looked very at home has he not and his forwards have made it particularly easy for him you know
28:14they've
28:14dominated in the scrums it dominated in the line outs as well which is a awesome start you have
28:20at the fly off if your forward pack is dominant like that not a good step for dave rennie you've
28:27got the line six penalties inside the first quarter of this game
28:32two of them leading to yellow cards early too early now there will be another penalty with the drive
28:38on to our gray smith okay if you're going to use it use it now divanaka just directing his forwards
28:47they've got a free play on penalty advantage
28:51i asked you to use it we're here
28:55i can't let that carry on yeah i can't let you carry on because i've said use it
29:01i asked you to use it i can't let you carry on early
29:06it's that said piece again from the stormers six plus one good take
29:11and an early hit from the old birds pack they're under a lot of pressure come said piece time
29:19and they know exactly what's coming now they need to fight
29:22five tactics that's going to work for them line out stormers don't need to change anything at the moment
29:26keep moving suffocating this all-black outfit
29:33lucky nahmad continues to look comfortable making some good line kicks wonderful conversion
29:38one that was chalked off as well was a a decent strike okay as long as you're two minutes over
29:43here
29:43just think of the fly half talent coming through straight up in the air play on no clear not gone
29:49one against the throw the all-black crucial line out winning their own 22. how do they go about
29:56managing this numerical disadvantage now okay use it please
30:06okay inside right him up not surprisingly looking for the safety of touch
30:14the clock down was back to the fly-off discussion busi moyo getting a test debut against wales in the

37:01with a carry
37:02Dion Feri lurking
37:04with intent
37:05as he so often does
37:08just a wonderful decision maker
37:10around
37:11the ruck area
37:12this is promising from New Zealand
37:14Leonard Brown

37:16back towards the inside
37:18to evade Leroy Lanzas
37:20Achieva Diamani there
37:21in cover

37:39just when he thought
37:40Josh Morby
37:43was gonna make the break
37:45and
37:45give the scoring pass
37:50and
37:51Billy Proctor

37:58with one hand
37:59instead of catching it
38:00with two hands
38:01is Billy Proctor

40:18the need to make it count

40:21good hit initially
40:22from both sides
40:23because you're on your toe
40:24it's no you're not using

41:40rod
41:57with the touchline Cortez Rattama
42:04right hard limit is coming in he's been solid his Cortez Rattama good
42:10death foot kick that clearance back we've got to be quick for his team started
42:16against South Africa at this stadium the test match played here in 2024
42:21Cortez Rattama one of the two appearances he's made against the
42:31Springboks
42:32one for Divanacher Johnny Rutsch
42:37I have seen a sliver of a gap between Peter Lackey
42:44and Anton Cegna now the kick ahead oh it's found space as well I've got
42:49nothing clear off the head
42:53brilliant work from Ciavelo Sanatla to retrieve that ball off the foot lay on all backwards it's all backwards
43:06oh there was plenty he's in front no no going on
43:11he's in front the last person who played the ball
43:15I thought it was off your foot
43:18a scrappy play from the Stormers in front of the last player
43:20a good hit good carry from Johnny Roach initially and then a carry from Andre Hugo Fenta and a little
43:27dink in behind forcing the fullback to close early
43:30I don't know it was just loads of people going on
43:31important bad and a lot of pressure no no no just couldn't get going
43:35scrappy breakdown ball eventually giving away position
43:38the penalty coming for being played by a man in front
43:43after Divanacher played it
43:47play on the wrong side play on the wrong side first
43:53Torsi with the carry
43:56Parker popped on from Leonard Brown for Cegna
44:01he's dead go
44:05Dion Farid called off it
44:07I think he may have asked the referee why
44:10Peter Lackey
44:13I've shown a lot of intent on the carry Morby
44:19that guy can
44:21this time ball tucked and head down into contact
44:26Cegna
44:29Evan Ruiz
44:30almost trapped at the bottom of that Proctor
44:33Leonard Brown
44:37looking to release the ball in the tackle
44:41not doing so
44:44he's made a clear touch
44:46then he's balled off
44:47getting himself over the ball
44:50then a brown isolated in contact
44:53and winning the breakdown penalty
44:55a commanding defense from the home side
44:58the Stormers
44:59making sure they're staying connected
45:02Rouen Nell communicating from the outside
45:04making good reads
45:05just staying patient
45:07not shooting out of line
45:10and a good steal from a full-back
45:124-9
45:14awesome defense from the home side
45:16Gaurik Garland showing a bit of daylight
45:19low body position
45:22an awesome steal from the full-back
45:24thank you
45:25thank you
45:27thank you
45:27Barrett just a fraction late on the clean
45:30he had latched onto the ball
45:35throw not straight
45:36so
45:38the all-blacks benefiting
45:40in that instance from their contesting strategy
45:43has to be a contest
45:44I need you to bring your legs up
45:46at the moment
45:46for the scram to be awarded for a skew
45:48I don't see him
45:49clearly hinging down
45:51and I've contested well
45:53if they've been Holland
45:54against the storm
45:55especially when they do the four-man line-out
45:57I think what worked well for the Stormers
45:59the five and six-man line-out
46:00just stick to that
46:01because they're going to maul anyway
46:02I can see it here
46:03it's got to be used
46:05but this New Zealand after back in
46:08the day they've always with Kieran Reid
46:10they've always been
46:11a good contesting side
46:12especially over four
46:13and the five-man line-out
46:16crowd
46:19bind
46:23set
46:29Rattama had a quick look at the short side
46:31now Ioane brought in
46:32off the left wing
46:33for the inside ball from Leonard Brown
46:35Rattama
46:38looking for space around the fringe of the Rattlin
46:41Billy Proctor
46:44Tauke Oho
46:51Rattama
46:51Holland
46:52Barrett
46:54Simon Parker
47:01Josh Morby
47:02cut down
47:06the defence remains resolute for now
47:12Tauke Oho
47:13ball out of the back
47:14it was there for Carter
47:15but he had to
47:16go back to fetch it
47:18after a fumble
47:20Rattama again
47:21Tauke Oho
47:22the ball out of the back
47:24for Ioane
47:24from Anton Seng
47:28finding it's a testament to
47:34some decent defensive line speed from the home team
47:37that's awesome defence
47:38again staying making sure they're staying connected no one shooting out of line
47:42they did once they got outside the 15 making reads and putting pressure on Anton Segner
47:49they had numbers on the outside they had numbers on the outside the old man
47:51to give up Devanaka and the youngster
47:54Yaki Named
47:57putting a lot of face pressure on the pass
48:01they'll take a lot of confidence from their defence here is a storm aside
48:06how many
48:07how many
48:09four
48:10four
48:10four
48:10four
48:10four

48:15director of rugby here at the stormers quite an emotional week for him his father
48:21Paul was a wonderful referee and in 1976 when the storm was equivalent western province
48:29played the all-blacks Newlands Paul Dobson was the reserve linesman so John tells me
48:40one against the throw by the all-blacks maybe an opportunity late in the half to steal the lead
48:45Rico Ioane into his stride
48:50Warikulant making another attempt over the ball but cleaned off at this time
49:02Sanatla penalised hands beyond the ball before the attempted steal
49:07Rattama quick to tap and go and Procter over the top for Holland and Parker
49:14I think he's got it down
49:20they've made it count
49:22in the dying embers of the first half Simon Parker over for the all-blacks second try
49:29quick to tap and go from the penalty
49:32and a slightly disorganised defensive line is breached
49:36at all the numbers of the outside Billy Procter again in the same position good hand from the tight forward
49:42and an awesome finish from Anton Segner brave play that started by Cortes Rattama
49:48had a bit of work to do is Segner but does extremely well stays low into contact
49:55and not even three guys could get him over the line
50:05so Bowdoin Barrett less than a minute to play in the first half wonderful kick
50:14two converted tries plays one
50:18crucial score on the strike of half-time the Simon Parker had a bit of work to do
50:22but does extremely well staying infield a bit of help from his teammate Fabian Holland
50:30started from the quick tap brave play from Cortes Rattama catching the stormers
50:37defense in sixes and sevens Parker will be one of those players looking to use these
50:43franchise games prior to the first test to make a statement say to Dave Rennie pick me no opportunity
50:49during the nation's championship test matches against France Italy and Ireland
50:56both tests against South Africa last year
51:02well the turnover is one is there still something left in the heart
51:07yes us dancing off the first offender thank you thank you to Benaka Smith and Galant
51:17the first one is finding Evans
51:22back it comes for Yakin Ahmed who lines up the drop goal
51:27and just wide so Carl Dixon blows the whistle for half time it's been a tough uncompromising contest
51:39between the DHL stormers and the all-blacks in the opening game of the greatest rivalry tour
51:48tries by Samisoni Taukeoho and Simon Parker both converted by Bowden Barrett for the all-blacks
51:56a try for Deon Farid converted by Yakin Ahmed for the stormers half-time this magnificent stadium
52:01.
