All Blacks survive Stormers scare — but Sharks will smell blood

The All Blacks secured a hard-fought victory against the Stormers, surviving a major scare during the match. However, coach Rennie acknowledged significant disciplinary issues that allowed the opposition back into the game.

Specifically, the team struggled with a high number of scrum and maul penalties. These infractions gave the Stormers crucial territorial advantages and resulted in yellow cards, setting up a vulnerable position ahead of their upcoming match against the Sharks.
