Wallabies shock Boks, fans question Bok game plan, All Blacks pack makes a statement

Kooks and Thala review week 1 of the Rugby Championship where the Wallabies got their first victory in Ellis Park in 62 years and the All Blacks staved off a Puma comeback in Cordoba.

We first marvel at the Wallabies comeback from 22-0 down to score 38 unanswered points. We discuss how Joe Schmidt is improving this side, the great performances from Fraser McReight and Max Jorgensen, and how the senior citizens at halfback Nic White and James O'Connor helped to control the game.

On the other side of the pitch, Kooks questions the Boks game management, which leads to a discussion about how much Manie Libbok was to blame and Thala looks at whether the Boks should continue with the Tony Brown-inspired attacking game plan at the cost of some of the Bok traditional strengths. With injuries to Siya Kolisi and Pieter-Steph du Toit, we discuss the importance of this weekend's test match as well.

We then look at the Argentina v New Zealand game and discuss yet another fantastic performance from the All Blacks pack and Kooks discusses the importance of James Ryan as a coach for the team. Tupou Va'ai and Fabian Holland are impressing Thala. We wonder what is Argentina's issue with playing at home and why they are not able to play consistently.

We finish off by quickly previewing the first weekend's matches in the Rugby World Cup and why South Africa has a must-win match against Brazil and Kooks gives us a Currie Cup update and why the Sharks and Western Province are at the bottom of the log.
