Rugby Punt-it

Well... that didn’t go to plan. The Wallabies stun the Boks in Perth, 13 changes come under the microscope, and Nick’s pre-match confidence has come back to bite him, there’s now a Wallabies jersey and a beer with his name on it. How the Boks let this one get away, against 11 men, and who just played themselves into or out of the World Cup picture? Plus, a clean sweep for SA in the URC.

The Greatest Rivalry may be over, but the rugby isn't. The Boks are in Perth with a new captain and another statement to make. A win over the world champions could change everything for the Wallabies, just as it did for the Boks in 2018. We unpack the Bok 23 and the big battles waiting on Sunday. Plus, the URC is BACK! New signings, new-look squads and plenty to prove as we preview all four SA sides.

The Greatest Rivalry belongs to the Boks. Four Tests, three wins, and a tour we won't forget anytime soon. We unpack how the Boks finished the job, the players who defined the series, and just how big the gap really is between these two sides. Plus, we pick our 23 of the series and ask the big question: where does this leave the two giants with a World Cup QF looming next year?

The Boks finally break their Soweto duck against the All Blacks and take a 2–1 series lead, but there’s still almost nothing separating these two sides. We unpack the second-half shift that won it, the moments that nearly swung it the other way, and the one All Black the Boks still can’t seem to stop. With Baltimore to come, some big names returning and changes expected, can the Boks finish the job in style?

The Boks hit back, psdt broke the curse, the series is level, and now the plot thickens. We unpack what changed from Ellis Park, the pre-match curveballs and the All Black threats we still haven't found an answer for. Plus, we take you behind the scenes at Friday's Bok captain's sessions before 94,000 fans descend on Soweto for round three.

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.
