The Springboks have fought their way back — and now the All Blacks face a massive showdown in Soweto. Is South Africa’s momentum about to shift the entire series?
Ryan Grant and JamJam break down a huge weekend in South African sport, from the Springboks’ response against New Zealand and Siya Kolisi’s leadership to Cheslin Kolbe’s move to fullback and the explosive atmosphere expected at Soccer City.
The discussion also dives into the growing battle over the scrum, why South Africa’s set-piece remains such a powerful weapon, and whether the All Blacks can handle the pressure of playing in front of a massive Soweto crowd.
But rugby is only part of the story.
We also look at the rise of South African women’s rugby, the Currie Cup semi-finals, the Proteas’ shock defeat to Namibia and their immediate response, plus the growing concerns around South African hockey and water polo players having to personally fund international competition.
And with Lloyd Harris making headlines at the US Open, the conversation turns to the enormous sporting talent South Africa continues to produce — and whether the country is doing enough to support it.
It’s a packed episode covering rugby, cricket, hockey, tennis and the future of South African sport.
