The Stormers and All Blacks will kick off Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series in Cape Town on Friday night. It is set to be a historic encounter, 50 years on from when Western Province beat the All Blacks in a tour game back in 1976, and the Stormers will be motivated to attempt the same feat. “This is not just another game for us, when it first came out it was the wrong time and we felt it would stuff up our pre-season,” explained Dobson. “But then it became clear to me that the players desperately want to play in this game, and as the game has approached the magnitude of it has just got bigger and bigger. Ideally we should have played a warmup game before this, but this is the situation we are in and the mental aspect will be a huge part of our challenge,” said Dobson.
