In 2008 Schalk Brits made his Springbok debut as one of South Africa's most dynamic and exciting hookers. But by the mid-2010s his Bok career looked all but over. Constantly fighting for the lone hooker position in the team, Brits was usually competing for that one spot against the team's captain for most of his career.

But just when he thought it was all over, out of the blue, new Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus called Schalk in 2018 and invited him to come back.

The comeback was complete when in 2019 Brits actually captained the Springboks a the Rugby World Cup and helped his country lift the trophy against the odds.

In this incredible exclusive interview Schalk shares the highs and the lows of what is an unbelievable journey.

The All Blacks are finally doing it. New Zealand is heading to South Africa with a full tour lineup—hitting the Stormers, Bulls, Lions, Sharks, and three massive Tests, plus a fourth showdown in Baltimore for the Greatest Rivalry Series. But the real talk of the town? All Blacks coach Dave Rennie is rolling out a Springbok-style 6-2 Bomb Squad split and leaning into heavy-duty versatility like Tupou Vaa'i.

Have the Kiwis finally cottoned on to Rassie Erasmus's masterclass? Or is this copycat panic just a bit too late to stop the reigning kings of rugby?

Grab a pint, pull up a chair, and let's break down why trying to beat the Boks at their own game might just be a recipe for disaster for New Zealand.

Why is World Rugby so afraid to learn from football? 🇿🇦⚽️

We’ve just witnessed a FIFA World Cup extravaganza that shattered records and captured the globe. Meanwhile, the powers that be in rugby seem determined to keep our sport a closed "old boys" shop. From an embarrassing World Cup draw that pits the world’s best against each other way too early to failing to capitalize on massive growth markets like the USA, it feels like an own goal after an own goal.

Is World Rugby actually trying to grow the game, or just protecting the establishment?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how football does it differently ... and why rugby is stuck in the past. We’re talking massive viewership numbers, better distribution of wealth, and why our upcoming 2031 World Cup in the States is a make-or-break moment for the sport.
