Ireland Will Break the All Blacks’ 52-Test Unbeaten Record & Boks To Smash Wales

The Springboks may have survived Scotland’s onslaught, but after missing 50 tackles, just how worried should Rassie Erasmus be? Jean de Villiers joins the team to unpack the Boks’ narrow escape, assess the problems exposed by Scotland and look ahead to a heavily rotated Springbok side facing Wales in Durban.

The panel also debates whether South African rugby is doing enough to keep its best young players at home. With hundreds of talented prospects heading overseas and the average professional in South Africa playing surprisingly few matches, are the current academy and franchise systems wasting an entire generation of talent?

Plus, Jean makes one of the biggest predictions in the show’s history: Ireland will end the All Blacks’ 52-Test unbeaten run at Eden Park. The team also discusses Australia’s alarming collapse, Fiji’s continued struggles, England’s resurgence and all the major talking points ahead of another huge weekend of international rugby.
