Stormers vs All Blacks Prediction & Betting Tips
Competition: International Tour Match
Date: Friday, 7 August 2026
Quick Preview
The All Blacks kick off their first full tour of South Africa since 1996 with a clash against the Stormers in Cape Town. The home side have named a full-strength URC team and should provide a stern test for the All Blacks. Although it is not a Test match, expect both teams to approach the contest with plenty of intensity as pride will be on the line. The visitors have named what is essentially their second-string team but there is plenty of experience in the match day team. One of the highlights will certainly be young flyhalf Yaqeen Ahmed on his debut, taking on opposite number, two-time World Player Of the Year Beauden Barrett.

Why We Like This Bet
The Stormers are one of the strongest teams in the URC and have an excellent record at DHL Stadium. Their powerful forward pack and dangerous backline should trouble the visitors, especially with the passionate Cape Town crowd behind them. However, the All Blacks possess world-class depth and an attacking style that can punish even the smallest mistakes. They have named a strong squad despite resting a few regulars for the Test matches. The home side should be competitive for the first 60 minutes but then the All Blacks will run away with the win by more than 20 points.
