ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Springboks 29, All Blacks 24 in Soweto, and it’s the classic story: power, precision, and tiny moments. David Pembroke, Steve Hansen, and Ewen McKenzie break down how South Africa’s scrum and maul delivered when it mattered, while New Zealand’s attack was downright sublime in patches, but couldn’t quite get the set piece parity they needed. The panel digs into the turning points: missed tackles on Kriel and de Allende, key penalties, a missed shot at goal, and why the All Blacks’ composure slipped in the last 10 minutes under scoreboard pressure. There’s also a sharp look at bench impact, leadership after Ardie Savea went off, and what the All Blacks might change for Baltimore with Savea, Luke Jacobson, and Quinn Tupaea out. Plus, the women’s Test, officiating concerns, the upcoming World XV Global Series, and Australia’s flat draw with Argentina in Mendoza.
