DSPN -RUGBY · Are The Springboks UNSTOPPABLE? | Tony Johnson Breaks Down The Greatest Rivalry Series · 14 Sep 2026 podcast

Failure would be if they can't become a better team for what they've just experienced. voice-verified

Well Nigel Yeldon joins us now on D. voice-verified

SPN, Nigel, I think there was this feeling amongst New Zealand fans that the All Blacks would get better as the series wore on. voice-verified

I think what we saw at the weekend was proof that actually it was the Springboks that definitely got better as the series wore on and maybe by the end of it the All Blacks were just looking a bit frayed around the edges. voice-verified

We would quite like to have talked to Jamie about this, what with him having been there in the stadium, but Jamie went and lost his passport. voice-verified

And Jamie is now staying with the people who found his passport, but unfortunately he's unable to join. voice-verified

Talk about entry level, or either that or wanting some sort of an excuse not to come home. voice-verified

I don't know which one it is, but anyway. voice-verified

Uh but look, in terms of a spectacle and advertisement for the game, those amazing overhead shots of the stadium in Baltimore, at a time when world rugby is desperate to raise the voice-verified

profile of the game in the United States. voice-verified

Just we should really talk about that before we get into the nuts and bolts of the test match. voice-verified

Uh great advertisement for the game. voice-verified

I think what we saw from the Springbox, they play to their strengths, and they shouldn't be criticized for that because it's a successful formula and sometimes they narrow the parameters. voice-verified

I thought in this game they expanded the parameters, they moved the ball a bit more. voice-verified

And that's when you see saw for the first time in the series sort of holes starting to open the i in the all black defence. voice-verified

If there'd been a question mark hanging over the spring box in recent years, it would be about longevity. voice-verified

The likes of Ebon Etzabeth, uh Malcolm Marks, uh Peter Steph DuToy, uh Damien Delendy, guys who've been around for a long time. voice-verified

You're talking about players who've played over a hundred test matches and have been great players, and you wondered whether some of them who'd been playing year round a bit in different parts of the world was there going to be a long voice-verified

I I get the feeling these guys are actually still in superb Nick, which augers so well for them going forward that yes, a lot of these guys in the next few years they will bow out of the international game, but it they are so well primed now to go through. voice-verified

And I see they've at even at this point are quite warm favourites with the various betting agencies around the world to to win a third straight World Cup. voice-verified
