All Blacks v Springboks preview and some apologies

Kooks, Shaun and Thala are joined by Angus (@AnalystGus on Twitter) to preview Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash between New Zealand and South Africa.

We discuss questions such as which selections surprised you the most, which players have the most to gain for their World Cup selection hopes with a good game, what the All Blacks have changed since their victory at Ellis Park last season, what things we are watching for from the Springboks and finally some predictions.

Listen as we discuss Thomas du Toit as a swing prop, Lukhanyo Am’s form, Aaron Smith’s passing and the Jordie-Rieko midfield axis. Listen out for our hot takes involving the many Springbok kickers and the importance of the game for the All Blacks and some apologies Thala and Kooks need to make to people.
