Boks Want 3–1! | Rugby-kaans & The Baltimore Finale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has South Africa already won Rugby's Greatest Rivalry? The Springboks leave home 2–1 up after three extraordinary Tests against the All Blacks — but there's still the small matter of a fourth match in… Baltimore. Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa are joined by Westley Cockrell, better known as Rugby-kaans , to talk about a series that has become about much more than results. Westley explains how Rugby-kaans began, why his wonderfully unfiltered Afrikaans match reactions connected with support
NOW YOU KNOW 👑 | Springboks 29–24 All Blacks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
And if you don’t know… now you know. The Springboks have beaten the All Blacks 29–24 at FNB Stadium — and somehow this extraordinary series has produced another classic. New Zealand started at frightening speed. The Boks lost Cheslin Kolbe early. The All Blacks threatened from everywhere. But South Africa stayed alive, turned the screw at scrum time and eventually found the tries they had been missing in the second halves of the first two Tests. Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa unpack the ma
Springboks vs All Blacks: Who Blinks First at FNB Stadium? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The series is level at 1–1. Now the Springboks and All Blacks head to FNB Stadium for a third Test that could change the complexion of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry completely. Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa look beyond a week dominated by the war of words between Rassie Erasmus and Dave Rennie and get into the rugby. Has the scrum controversy become a tactical attempt to influence how the game is refereed? Has World Rugby's restricted communication between coaches and officials helped create t
Boks Hit Back! | Springboks Beat All Blacks To Level The Series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Boks have answered. Now we have a series. South Africa beat New Zealand 33–26 in Cape Town to level the series at 1–1 — but Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa aren't convinced the performance was as radically different from Ellis Park as the result might suggest. The Springboks were physically dominant for long periods in Test One too. The difference this time? They converted. South Africa built the scoreboard pressure they'd failed to create a week earlier and finally had enough in reserv
Ding, Ding... Sacha's Back! | Boks vs All Blacks: Round Two (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ding, ding. Round Two. And suddenly Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is back in the fight. After New Zealand's 33–16 victory at Ellis Park , the Springboks head to Cape Town 1–0 down and needing a response. Rassie Erasmus initially appeared to have chosen experience for the rematch. Handré Pollard at 10. Cobus Reinach at nine. Siya Kolisi back. Malcolm Marx starting. Ox Nché restored to the front row. Then came Friday's twist. Pollard is out. Sacha is back. A calf problem has ruled Pollard out, pushing
