🇿🇦 Springboks Team Announcement vs All Blacks | Backline Shake-Up + Eden Park Review
The Springboks have named their team for the All Blacks rematch — Rassie has rung the changes in the backline with Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Cobus Reinach stepping in, while midfield and wing spots are re-shaped for Wellington. We unpack the lineup and what it signals for the Boks’ tactical approach.
Meanwhile, we break down the Eden Park loss — where early individual errors and a stuttering attack wasted dominant territory and field position. Rassie himself admitted it was a “lost opportunity.”

✅ Backline Shake-Up – Feinberg-Mngomezulu/Reinach axis, midfield rethink, wing switch-ups

🇿🇦 SPRINGBOKS GO OLD-SCHOOL | Kick-Chase Revival, Pollard Perfect, Ntlabakanye Fallout
The Springboks secured a Cape Town win over the Wallabies, but it wasn’t dominance — Rassie’s men went back to the tried-and-tested kick-and-chase game. Handré Pollard was flawless off the tee, while big questions loom over South Africa’s lack of attacking bite. Off the field, Asenathi Ntlabakanye has been pulled from the squad following an adverse drugs test finding, shaking up Bok depth at tighthead.
🔥 This Episode Covers:
✅ Kick-Chase Revival – Boks abandon running rugby, grind out territory win
💥 Pollard 100% – six from six, ice-cold under pressure
⚡ Not Convincing – victory without dominance raises concern
🧠 Back to DNA – All Blacks warn of SA reverting to roots of power & territory
🚨 Ntlabakanye Fallout – prop pulled after adverse drugs finding
