Beauden Barrett to guide All Blacks in tour opener against Stormers

The All Blacks will be guided by a 144-Test cap veteran in flyhalf Beauden Barrett when they kick off Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry (RGR) tour in their opening match against the Stormers at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night (kick-off 7:10pm). Coach Dave Rennie named a mixed team featuring a few veterans, with Barrett backed up by 90-cap outside centre Anton Lienert-Brown, 88-cap left wing Rieko Ioane and 57-cap lock Patrick Tuipulotu, who will also captain the side in the match. A number of exciting up and coming players are also in the mix, including prop Siale Lauaki and utility back Josh Jacomb who will both be making their debuts for the All Blacks. It is the first of four matches that the All Blacks will be playing against the South African franchises, with the Sharks in Durban and Bulls in Pretoria to follow next week Tuesday and Saturday, before the first Test against the Springboks at Ellis Park on the 22nd of August. The visitors will then play the Lions on the 25th, before three more games against the Boks, in Cape Town, back in Johannesburg and then in the US to finish off the just major tour between the two massive rivals in three decades. Dave Rennie All Blacks coach Rennie, who is in his first season with the team, congratulated the debutants while praising the Stormers. “Firstly, I want to congratulate the new All Blacks Siale and Josh. It will be a very exciting and proud day for them and their families,” said Rennie. “We’ve had a great welcome in Cape Town and we’re excited to get this Tour underway. We are really pleased with how our leaders, including match day captain Patrick and tour captain Codie, have prepared the group. We can’t wait for Friday. “We’re well aware of how good this Stormers side is. They made the semifinals of the United Rugby Championship this year and they are a big, physical side with a mix of talented youngsters and Springboks, so we are preparing for a real war of attrition.” All Blacks starting XV Josh Moorby, Leroy Carter, Billy Proctor, Anton Lienert-Brown, Rieko Ioane, Beauden Barrett, Cortez Ratima, Wallace Sititi, Simon Parker, Patrick Tuipulotu (c), Fabian Holland, Pasilio Tosi, Samisoni Taukei’aho, George Bower Bench: Asafo Aumua, Ollie Norris, Siale Lauaki, Sam Darry, Ethan Blackadder, Kyle Preston, Josh Jacomb, Caleb Clarke

Yaqeen Ahmed headlines star studded Stormers to take on All Blacks

Junior Springbok star Yaqeen Ahmed will make his senior Stormers debut as part of a star studded match 23 that will front up against the All Blacks when their Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry (RGR) tour kicks off at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night (kick-off 7:10pm). Ahmed, who helped the Junior Boks to their second straight world championship title in Georgia last month, is the most inexperienced player in a massively experienced Stormers match 23 full of URC stars. Outside centre Ruhan Nel will captain the team and is joined in midfield by Jonathan Roche, with 20-year-old flyhalf Ahmed set to link up with scrumhalf Imad Khan. Fullback Warrick Gelant will have wings Seabelo Senatla and Leolin Zas alongside him, with the experienced Dewaldt Duvenage and the versatile Wandisile Simelane set to provide backline impact off the replacements bench. Up front hooker André-Hugo Venter will have props Vernon Matongo and Neethling Fouché either side of him, with JJ Kotzé, Ntuthuko Mchunu and Sazi Sandi on the replacements bench. Adré Smith and Connor Evans will link up in the second row, with Ruan Ackermann set to be unleashed in the second half. URC winning trio The loose trio of Evan Roos, Hacjivah Dayimani and Deon Fourie is the same combination that started the 2022 URC Grand Final, which saw the Stormers claim the inaugural title in Cape Town. Keke Morabe and Wandile Mlaba have been rewarded for their impressive form in the Carling Currie Cup with places on the bench. Director of Rugby John Dobson said that his team will embrace the occasion of facing the Springboks biggest foes on their home turf. “This is history in the making as the Stormers take on New Zealand for the first time, and our team is determined to make it one to remember for our fans,” said Dobson. “For a club side to take on an international team ranked second in the world is a massive opportunity and one that every player and management member is looking forward to.” Stormers starting XV Warrick Gelant, Seabelo Senatla, Ruhan Nel (c), Jonathan Roche, Leolin Zas, Yaqeen Ahmed, Imad Khan, Evan Roos, Hacjivah Dayimani, Deon Fourie, Connor Evans, Adré Smith, Neethling Fouché, André-Hugo Venter, Vernon Matongo Bench: JJ Kotzé, Ntuthuko Mchunu, Sazi Sandi, Ruan Ackermann, Keke Morabe, Wandile Mlaba, Dewaldt Duvenage, Wandisile Simelane
