[]
The Namibian
Four late tries sealed a 38-21 win for the New Zealand All Blacks against the Stormers in the opening match of their South African tour at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night.
The tourists will play two more matches against local franchises before the first of four Tests against the world champion Springboks.
The All Blacks led 14-7 at half-time after a scrappy opening 40 minutes during which they made numerous errors and conceded a slew of penalties.
Parker made up for his error when he scored a try a minute before half-time after Ioane carved through the Stormers’ midfield defence.
All Blacks: Tries: Samisoni Taukei’aho, Simon Parker, Rieko Ioane, Leroy Carter, Josh Moorby, Asafo Aumua.Conversions: Beauden Barrett (3), Josh Jacomb (1)
