Sky Sport rugby commentator Tony Johnson joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN - as he does every week - to break down the All Blacks’ looming clash with the Springboks at Eden Park, a test both describe as the biggest since the 2023 Rugby World Cup final. TJ highlights the intensity of the rivalry, the Eden Park factor, and how much pressure rests on ABs coach Scott Robertson’s coaching group. With injuries weakening key positions - particularly at halfback and wing - New Zealand must rely on incremental improvements and discipline to match South Africa’s power. Both sides carry form concerns, making the encounter unpredictable.
