BOKS BOUNCE BACK! Scrums, steals, selections + Wallabies beat Argentina

Springboks vs All Blacks is level at 1-1, but the debates are heating up: did South Africa win it on the big moments and the goal-kicking, or did New Zealand leave points and momentum out there? David Pembroke and Ewen McKenzie review Springboks 33-26 All Blacks in Cape Town, including Rassie’s team-switch drama, Malcolm Marx’s breakdown damage, Kolbe’s intercept, New Zealand’s lineout issues, and the scrum chat around Ox Nche and selection. They also compare Angus Gardner’s style to Matthew Carley, break down how the three big southern teams are actually carrying the ball, and head to Jujuy where the Wallabies beat Argentina 27-21 in a stop-start contest. Plus Pieter-Steph du Toit’s 100th Test and Eddie Jones calling him the best player in the world, questions from listeners, and concern over Jack Bowen leaving the Waratahs for Leicester and Japan.
