GeneralThe All Blacks officially kicked off their South African tour on Friday. They started the campaign on a strong note, securing a 38-21 victory over the Stormers. This opening win begins a demanding schedule of eight matches packed into a little over a month. Notably, four of those upcoming fixtures will be played against the Springboks. For head coach Dave Rennie, the timing of this intensive series could not be better. Having taken charge of the team in March, Rennie is actively searching for the right formula for his squad. This tour provides a valuable opportunity to refine the team just one year ahead of the World Cup in Australia.
