The Lekker Rugby Pod! episodes:

August 05, 2024 Episode 11: The Springboks need to dominate this Rugby Championship! Or do they? MW and Harry cross swords!
Springbok fans want it all: blood new players like the lekkerbacks to mesh with 75-cap veteran winners so we win every World Cup but also stay on top by using continuity and finally win a bloody Rugby Championship with 1000 caps in first and second XVs!
MW and Harry debate how Rassie & Co may approach the rest of this year, when and how Siya Kolisi and Willie le Roux will ride into the sunset, and what the Full Tony might look like!

August 04, 2024 Episode 10: What is wily Rassie Erasmus cooking up at the Springboks?
Success is intoxicating. But it holds risks: where can Rassie go next? What kind of empire can he build? What sport offers a model? MW and Harry explore gridiron analogies and the mental games coaches play.

August 02, 2024 Episode 9: Can we really say Antoine Dupont is the Rugby GOAT? Is he even the greatest scrumhalf we've seen?
How do we know a GOAT? When can we see it? What’s the basis? Is it technical or in service of a team style? How many GOATs are in action at one time? Is rugby conducive to GOATism? Join rugby skeptics MW and Harry as they delve deeper.

July 24, 2024 Episode 8: Is Sacha now ahead of Manie in the pecking order? Is there really depth to the Springboks?
How deep is the Boks' depth? Join MW and Harry as they ponder how a runaway 10-try win in Bloemfontein reveals true Test qualities. The precise Pretorian and the wayward Capetonian measure the merit of (mostly hyphenated) players and come up with quite a few surprises!

July 18, 2024 Episode 7: Outsmarted And Outplayed: How Ireland Stunned South Africa!
Bok business is still unfinished. No tries at Kings Park for the Tony Brown attack scheme and a series of calamities ended in last minute heartbreak for Saffa fans desperate to shush resilient Ireland. MW Welman and Harry Jones take all the sentiment out of it and weigh how bad it was, what should have been done, and what can be done next.

July 08, 2024 Episode 6: Rassie's Boks unveil a brand spanking new style with Tony Brown, but is it really Springbok rugby?
Episode 6: Time to reflect after a weekend of helter skelter Test Rugby action! MW and Harry review the major internationals, and do a deep dive into the Springboks' new game plan. Is it working, will it continue to work, and most importantly, is it really Springbok rugby?
Read Harry's article on Saturday's test here: https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/07/08/s-t-just-got-real-inside-rugbys-alpha-collision-of-six-nations-boss-and-swaggering-world-cup-holders/?s=09

July 01, 2024 Episode 5: It's war! Is Rassie in their heads already or will Ireland simply shrug off his needling?
MW and Harry rip into rectification (SA-Ireland), recreation (France-Argentina), revenge (Wales-Australia) and a rectal exam (England-New Zealand).
They differ most on the last one: MW sees a Pom upset; whilst Harry thinks the All Blacks will horse collar the Sweet Chariot.
Plus, the final installment of the Harry Index.
Jump into Test rugby and hear about the first Lekker Rugby Pod event ever!

June 25, 2024 Episode 4: Bulls beaten at Loftus, Boks thumping Wales and the penultimate Harry's Index!
MW and Harry talk about lekkerbacks - those uniquely South African scrumcapped swivelhipped pintsized wing who keep coming. But thoroughly dissect the unlekker Bulls’ miserable second half in the URC final. A deep dive.
Also up for discussion is the Springboks whipping Wales at Twickenham and the penultimate Harry's Index where the best club team in the world will be crowned next week after the French Top 14 final!

June 17, 2024 Episode 3: From how wily Jake played everyone like a fiddle to Boks for the Wales test!
Podcasts can keep you sane after your team loses. But when your team wins, podcasts are just the right amount of fanatic insanity. The Bulls knocked off mighty Test-laden Leinster and the sober Pretorian MW Welman cannot hide his giddy glee. Stormers tragic Harry Jones joins MW to break down every facet on how this famous victory happened.

June 10, 2024 Episode 2: Is Manie still the favourite to take over as the Springbok number 10?
Episode 2: Podcasts help us moan when we lose and groan about how we won. Join the lekker North-South rugby odd-fellows MW Welman and Harry Jones as they rip into why the Stormers’ season ended too soon and why the Bulls’ campaign might as well. A no holds barred grapple into Saffa rugby around the globe, nerves on the tee, Bok depth charts, league power rankings, and the Welsh Test.
