The Springboks and All Blacks are about to reignite one of rugby’s greatest rivalries — but the battle may be decided long before the final whistle.
Tim Cocker of Egg Chasers joins Rob Hersov for a fascinating conversation about South Africa, New Zealand, Rassie Erasmus, rugby culture, tactical warfare, and what makes the Springboks so uniquely powerful.
From the contrasting styles of the Springboks and All Blacks to the enormous pressure surrounding the upcoming series, Tim breaks down how each side could approach the battle — and why the first games could be decisive.
The conversation goes far beyond tactics. They explore why rugby means so much to South Africans, how the Springboks have helped unite the country, the extraordinary atmosphere surrounding South African rugby, the legacy of Rassie Erasmus, and whether this current Springbok side could eventually be considered the greatest ever.
Tim also reveals why he has become so taken with South Africa — and whether he could eventually make the country home.
A passionate conversation about rugby, rivalry, identity, South Africa and what makes the game far bigger than 80 minutes.
