Shaun and Thala preview week 3 of the Rugby Championship where South Africa host Argentina and Australia play New Zealand in Bledisloe I.

We discuss the big opportunity  for Grant Williams and how he has to make an impression. Which locks and loosies get left home if Marco van Staden fights his way in. The never ending Jesse Kriel debate also starts off a rant from Shaun. On the Pumas side, we see the return of Chocobares, an impending milestone for Augustin Creevy and whether Juan Martin Gonzalez will haunt Willie le Roux (and his ankles) again.

Attention then shifts to the Bledisloe Cup game and hopes aren’t high for Eddie Jones and his Wallabies, even after selecting Carter Gordon for a debut start. We marvel at the surprisingly stable All Blacks, returns for Sam Whitelock and Anton Lienert-Brown and whether the All Blacks can put up a cricket score at the MCG.

We round up with some of the news around the rugby world, including upcoming matches involving Fiji, Japan and Uruguay, what Fiji will do with Peceil Yato withdrawing from the squad and even wade into the topic of which Boks will make money from opening an OnlyFans account.
