Springboks survive determined Pumas and All Blacks left with more questions with Harry Jones

Shaun and Thala are joined by Lekker Rugby Pod’s Harry Jones to break down the weekend’s rugby action.

We start with South Africa’s hard fought victory in Buenos Aires again Argentina. We discuss why this was the wake up call the Springboks needed before the All Blacks series, the impressive bench performances from the likes of Zach Porthen and Ben-Jason Dixon and some brilliant games from Santi Carreras and Pablo Matera. We also discuss the possible implications of an injury to Siya Kolisi.

We then look at New Zealand starting the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour off with a win against Stormers. The Stormers impressed with a performance with a lot of heart and the All Blacks will be worried with about the flaws shown with the set piece, their discipline and the aerial game. We discuss Deon Fourie’s call up to the Springbok squad.

Finally we finish with Australia’s victory over Japan and why there are some worries for Les Kiss.
