Kooks and Thala review Round 2 of the Rugby Championship and the last round of group games from the women's Rugby World Cup.
We start in Eden Park where the All Blacks extended the streak after an impressive performance on Ardie Savea's 100th test. Kooks and Thala debate on what is currently ailing the Boks, including lineout and defensive issues, the surprising team picked for the upcoming test in Wellington and where does this leave the Boks in the middle of the World Cup cycle. We also discuss Australia's last-gasp victory against Argentina.
We then look at the Springbok women's loss against France in the last group stage game of the Rugby World Cup. We discuss wheter Swys de Bruin was right in resting some of his first choice players, how impressive France looked and what do the Boks need to do to beat New Zealand in the quarterfinals. We debate whether Nadine Roos should play fullback or scrumhalf and who the danger women for the Black Ferns are. We also quickly preview the other quarterfinal matches and whether upsets are likely.
Finally, we look forward to the Currie Cup semi-finals, Kooks finds out about the Super Rugby competition in Australia, Thomas Ramos doing Thomas Ramos things in the Top 14 and Fiji's surprise victory over Wales in the World Cup (again).
