Rugby Punt-it

The All Blacks land the first blow & suddenly there’s no room for error. We unpack what went wrong at Ellis Park, the opportunities the Boks simply couldn't turn into points, and Rassie's three regrets from a night that got away from us. With 3 must-win Tests ahead, what has to change before round two? Plus, the Lions get their shot at the All Blacks, and they might just have the best chance yet of pulling off an upset.

The All Blacks sent a warning at Loftus, and suddenly the 1st Test has heated up . We unpack that 50-point statement, what it tells us about the side heading into Ellis Park, and the selection headaches now facing Rassie as the Bok 23 takes shape. We also revisit Ma'a Nonu's incredible solo haka in his return to the rivalry, before asking who gets the nod at 9 and 10 & who fills the gaps if Siya and Ox are out.

The Boks survived Argentina, but what answers did we get? We unpack the nervy win, the returning stars, Deon Fourie's remarkable recall, and the biggest selection question of them all: who is wearing 10 in test 1? Plus, the Stormers make a statement against New Zealand, Ma'a Nonu turns out for the Sharks, and the Greatest Rivalry Tour gathers serious momentum.

The wait is over. this is the Greatest Rivalry Tour.
We unpack Rassie's split-squad strategy as the Boks head to Argentina with the rest of the squad prepping at home with Tony De Bruin & Duane. Then we turn our attention to Cape Town, where the All Blacks have arrived with the Raeburn Shield in tow, The hype is building, could this one selection could shape the entire series?

Two nations. Two rugby fanatics. One rivalry that has defined the sport for more than a century. I'm joined by Dan from Short Ball Rugby for a special crossover episode as a Springbok and an All Blacks fan come together to preview the Greatest Rivalry Tour. We unpack the squads, the coaching battle, where both teams are in their evolution, and why no fixture in world rugby carries the history, respect and expectation of South Africa vs New Zealand.
