‘We gave it a hell of a shot,’ says captain Nel after Stormers fall short against All Blacks
After naming a 6-2 split for the game they lost scrumhalf Imad Khan to injury within the first five minutes, and Nel himself then didn’t emerge for the second half.
Veteran All Blacks centre Anton Lienert-Brown, who picked up a first half yellow card but was also named man-of-the-match, said that the win was massively important for the team to start their tour on the right foot.
The Stormers produced an almighty fight to push the All Blacks to the limit, and heading into the final 15 minutes of the match were level pegging at 14-all, but in the end ran out of steam as the ors powered away in the final 10 for a 38-21 win.
