DSPN -RUGBY · Can The All Blacks BEAT The Springboks? | Breaking Down The Series · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

What Rassi has been doing is something very different.

He's been playing three or four different teams.

Yes, they're all coming out of the same playbook, but...

The ingredients that go into that team are very, very different.

He's gone to Buenos Aires.

It's great to see Sacha back and probably starting in a 10 jersey.

The backup is Andre, a very, very different player in so many ways.

And so it's just going to be very interesting to see how he's gone into the heads of those players and saying, this is how you're going to be playing.

It'll actually bring the best out of both of you.

But we're going to start like this.

And that's starting 15.

You know, do they go for what everybody else is doing in world rugby now, which is playing at such a pace that, you know, you wear the other teams out.

I know this is the idea is that the All Blacks will play at a much faster pace and try and tire out the bigger, heavier South African forwards.

Well, everybody tries to do that.

The problem is that after about 45 minutes, another pack comes on.

Exactly right, yeah.

Those aspects of, well, just wait for the South Africans to tire, that one's out the window.

But there are fundamental ways you can play against South Africa, just as they all try and play against you, which will make this such a brilliantly instructive, tactical series for every other nation watching.

It's going to be very, very interesting for France and for England and Australia to see how you guys are currently operating and how you deal with the type of pressure you will be put under in a World Cup.

Absolutely.
