This week, the guys are joined by Corné Krige and Evan Roos to discuss the Boks' evolving style under Rassie, and break down the squad rotation ahead of Argentina. Evan and Schalk discuss the Stormers jersey launch ahead of the URC, and the panel make their picks for the Currie Cup Final.

Could the double win over the all blacks spark a major unbeaten run for the Springboks?

This week the boys review the performances of the World No 1s, Schalla talks about what really happens in the Springbok scrum and Bobo fails horribly at being diplomatic when picking the greatest ever Bok midfield duo.

Join us for a pre-match podcast as Morné Steyn sits down with Gcobani Bobo, Schalk Brits, and Renier von Zeuner to preview the highly anticipated Springboks vs. All Blacks clash in Cape Town. The panel react to Rassie & Razor's selections & pick the greatest Bok halfbacks of all-time!

Pro rugby star, stroke survivor, South African MMA champion (in that order!) - in this episode of GBRSA the boys are joined by Ethienne Reynecke, one of the toughest of all time. Ettas chats about life after his stroke, learning to walk and talk again, and stepping in the ring with UFC Middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis. The boys look forward to the first test against the All Blacks after the World Cup Final. Schalla and Bobo pick their all time greatest Bok Lock pairing, and discuss the perks of being big in Japan!

In this week’s show the boys are joined by Springbok back rower Elrigh Louw. Louw talks about his all-time Bok back row, the vibe in the current Bok squad, and working with two World Cup winning coaches in Jake White and Rassie Erasmus. Bobo and Schalla give the youngster a few tips on dealing with a Bok career and the importance of keeping your head on straight in the bright lights.

In this episode, the boys dive deep into the opening round of the Rugby Championship, dissecting the Springboks' brilliant performance. The state of rugby in Australia also comes under the spotlight after their reality check in Brisbane. But it’s not all match reviews – the real fun begins as the guys start picking their all-time greatest Bok squad. This week, it's all about the front row: Schalla isn’t holding back with his picks, even if it means putting a few friendships on the line, which Bobo can't help but find amusing.
