DSPN -RUGBY · Can The All Blacks SURVIVE Springboks BOMB SQUAD? · 18 Aug 2026 podcast

But it also asks a lot of the players who are having to wave goodbye to good mates who are no longer part of that tour party.

And that's where you're the team spirit, the speed of core that you create on a tour like this comes to the fore.

And that's what is gonna give, I think, the all blacks the edge going into this first match, because you know, you can't knock wins.

Okay.

You can you can find reasons to say it wasn't the most fantastic performance, but those victories are in the record books.

Yeah, well this is where Geordie comes in and and I I felt before the tour started that Geordie will have a huge uh impact on this tour and the out the back passing is critical to have him in that position.

Uh the quality of passes, the timing of the passes, working with love is is i it's really important.

And that's why South Africa will fill those channels.

Now the ans what the question is, what do they do when they're they d

They're they're working those moves and they've been successful so far in a number of matches.

They find a great big South African standing in the in the way and that's what they're gonna do.

It's it's i they I've always felt that are three critical areas uh for the all blacks to get over to to make a real impact on this trip.

One is to ensure that Ardy gets over the gain line because they will see him as a totem and someone if they can stop him early, then that really does hamper you in terms of momentum.

Can they stop Roygaard getting quick ball?

And uh yeah, because he is so important in terms of setting uh the tempo for the attack.

And the other one is Geordie, can he play the way that the all blacks wanted to play, uh being the fulcrum to this to this attacking uh strategy?

Which we saw little flashes of it in even in the last game.

There was a really nice move where the the blind side wing came and j and joined the ten.

Uh to make the extra man and and and the Travis scored in the corner from Murby, who is going to be an important player on this tour.

And and they do come off, but the fact is you have to go wide against South Africa because they will be blitzing you.
