DSPN -RUGBY · 'GAME ON' | Tony Johnson Breaks Down All Blacks LOSS In Cape Town · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

And you can see I'm sitting there and when I'm going back and I'm watching it and I'm looking, OK, right, are the feet moving?

There's just these little games that are being played.

And South Africa were getting very bent out of shape about it.

But I was looking really hard to see who, if anyone, was flinching.

And I'm trying to sit here being as neutral as possible.

And I really thought it was the Springboks that were trying a little bit and then sort of blowing up about it.

And I don't know how often...

we use William Shakespeare here on the show on the DSPN, but I went back to my Hamlet.

In this case, it was the hooker doth protest too much, me thinks.

And likewise, the coach doth protest too much post-match with his reaction as well.

So I thought it was interesting, just the communication from Angus Gardner and Angus, Tony, as you're well aware, in terms of communication, he communicates very well, very clearly, sometimes can go a little bit overboard.

But all the messages around scrum time were very clear with regards to the break foot, everyone having heels on the ground in the front row, and that there, and it caused a lot of consternation.

There was a head-on-head, there was a free kick against locks and chair, I think, at one point, where you could see Angus Gardner just get, he was saying, look, don't do that, don't engage with the heads.

So again, all really, really consistent.

I think all the stuff is just sitting there and it's just these, it's Angus Gardner's words, playing games.

And he was trying to stop them playing games, but both sides, well, more so I think the Springboks, but I think the All Blacks at times were sort of just biting into it a bit as well.

make...

I, Tony, can I just say, I sit here and I don't watch a game.

I don't watch it.

I watched it live.
