Tackling the World is the latest podcast series from The Loose Head's Jeff Neville. In this series, I talk to players about their RWC experiences, discussing everything from selection to mental health, the competition itself, and the aftermath.

In this episode, I talk to former Springbok and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner BJ Botha. We discuss the preparation for the tournament, the excitement of the challenge, that England pool game, his injury, the final, and his identity after becoming a world champion.
