Watch Stormers v New Zealand as Dave Rennie\u2019s side get their Rugby\u2019s Greatest Rivalry<\/a> campaign underway in Cape Town.<\/p>\n The All Blacks haven\u2019t toured South Africa since 1996, so they\u2019ll be looking to lay down a marker as they build up to four Tests against the world champion Springboks. Although Rennie hasn\u2019t named a full-strength side, the 23 is packed with talent, including the returning Beauden Barrett<\/a> who starts at fly-half after missing the recent Nations Championship<\/a>. Second row Patrick Tuipulotu will skipper the side.<\/p>\n 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?<\/p>\n \u2013 Date: Friday 7 August<\/p>\n \u2013 Kick-off time: 6.00pm BST \/ 7.00pm CET \/ 7.00pm SAST \/ 3.00am AEST (Saturday) \/ 5.00am NZST (Saturday) \/ 1.00pm EDT \/ 10.00am PDT<\/p>\n \u2013\u00a0FREE STREAMS: Sky Sport Now<\/a> (New Zealand), RugbyPass TV<\/a> (US)<\/p>\n \u2013 Watch from anywhere: Try NordVPN 100% risk-free<\/a><\/p>\n You can watch Stormers v All Blacks live streams for free in New Zealand and the US.
