Stormers captain Ruhan Nel will lead the Stormers in their tour match against the All Blacks.
Outside centre Ruhan Nel will captain a Stormers side blending experience with youthful flair as the franchise prepares to make history against the All Blacks at DHL Stadium on Friday night.
The fixture marks the first-ever meeting between the Stormers and an international side ranked second in the world, kicking off the visiting tourists' campaign in South Africa.
But there is some history between the touring New Zealand and the Cape side, as people have been reminiscing about the now defunct Western Province side’s shock win over the All Blacks at Newlands 50 years ago.
Nel anchors the midfield alongside Jonathan Roche, framing an exciting new half-back combination where 20-year-old fly-half Yaqeen Ahmed makes his senior Stormers debut alongside scrumhalf Imad Khan.
