DSPN -RUGBY · Why the All Blacks will TRIUMPH at Ellis Park | Rugby Roundtable · 18 Aug 2026 podcast

No, focus on the first test.

And so I'd like to have just seen this all black

team play collectively and cohesively together for one game for at least 60 minutes and possibly even another half game so we just genuinely go in match fit.

Because we can sit there and prove from week to week and say, Look, we need to work on this, we need to work on this but it's a completely different group of players from one game to the next.

Yeah, look, I think the preparation's good in terms of individual players getting game time.

Um and nothing simulates a game like a game, nothing simulates a race like a race, as we say, an endurance sport.

But um I don't think we've taken the opportunity for that cohesiveness.

sorry Martin, I was gonna say and we you're probably gonna turn it around now, but I mean we can look at our preparation, but how good is the South African preparation?

My question.

Yeah.

Uh uh look, I think they're just implementing what they've got away with.

They seem to have been aside in recent times who

Again, whatever team they put out on the park, they've looked effective, they've looked match fit, they've looked game fit, which contradicts almost what I've said, the importance of being match fit heading in.

And they've got away with it.

Um and well done to them.

And I understand too that they believe that, and I said this I think a couple of weeks ago, Rassi has this big belief that it takes at least 10 days to recover from a test, and that's why you will see a rotation of the front rows.

That's why you will see different players from test match to test match to allow

the players to have that recovery.

I think the difference this time though with this all black team is and I was talking to a very prominent all black on the weekend who was part of the ninety six series and he said it to me too.
