In this episode, the guys are joined by Gavin Rich for a proper look at the Loftus test and where it leaves both sides ahead of the Durban second test on Saturday. In a Matt Williams-free zone, they focus solely on rugby and don't take the easy path to talk TMOs and sideshows around the test.

Episode 51: A proper look at the Loftus test match

Seasoned rugby writers Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme have teamed up with Jacaranda FM to bring you 'To The Last Drop', your weekly dose of all things rugby.
They collectively bring almost 60 years of rugby reporting to the microphone diving into the game's most topical news stories, interviewing guests in-the-know, gazing into the fixture list crystal ball, and occasionally exploring the game's weird and wacky. 
Like the bounce of the ball, every episode is a journey into the unknown.

TTLD talks tipple too, as our hosts and guests uncork tales that will likely titillate.

New episodes drop every Thursday at 9.00am wherever you get your podcasts.
