DSPN -RUGBY · RUTHLESS Springboks OVERPOWER All Blacks In Soweto | Match Breakdown w/ Tony Johnson · 7 Sep 2026 podcast

Um they won in New Zealand and it wasn't until nineteen ninety six that the All Blacks were able to win a Test Series in South Africa. voice-verified

One of the reasons for that, and particularly with the All Blacks going to South Africa, is some of the same things they they come up again and it's under pressure, in the heat of the moment, a mistake. voice-verified

Now it could be a penalty, it could be a drop ball, it could be an intercept like we saw back in nineteen seventy six. voice-verified

Um voice-verified

when Johan Usteys and got an intercept at a crucial stage of the whole series. voice-verified

Those sorts of things in some ways it nothing's changed. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Yeah, I thought uh Russi Erasmus too. voice-verified

Uh it was very humble of him to acknowledge the fact that the Springboks, this is a a team that's been in the making for eight or nine years. voice-verified

It they've created a dynasty there, whereas the All Blacks is still just in terms of the the coach, they're they're at the dawn of this tenure. voice-verified

Um yeah, the decision was made a while back to not reappoint last year's coach Scott Robertson, but Brenny's not voice-verified

been in this job very long. voice-verified

So I you know there is there will be lessons learnt from this and and obviously they'll have to be learnt because these T teams are on a collision course at the World Cup next year. voice-verified

Let's talk about those big moments though because again we saw it and and there were I think two or three flashpoints in this game and one guy and I know Dave Rennie tried to sort of deflect voice-verified

it by saying, well everyone misses tackles, but when you miss a one on one tackle and and Leroy Carter was the guy who you know, ironically, one of the reasons why they'd picked him was because he's such a tigerish defender, but just a c a couple of lapses on attack uh sorry, on defence and tries. voice-verified

Yeah, and look, to be fair, I mean his attacking play has been quite brilliant and and you're right that i if the if the initial line is breached, you'd expect there to be cover and there wasn't any in in both of those cases that you're talking about. voice-verified

So that that's a bit of an issue. voice-verified

What about uh the the two most galling sites though, the scrum where the all blacks got shunted over the line and also th that prolonged drive voice-verified

driving more and people straight away start going, Well, we need to change the coach. voice-verified

Um firstly the scrum and I I think they've just decided they've got to move on from all this talk about the legalities of it and and Neil Barnes said we just have to get better. voice-verified
