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

I think the All Blacks had a grievance there that when a guy is moving into the path of a would-be tackler and preventing him from getting to the player carrying the ball, I do think that there was, that was a case there of, look, we complain about the TMO coming in, voice-verified

And then when something like that happens, we're going, why didn't the TMO make the right decision or make that decision? voice-verified

I suppose you can't have it both ways, but did they miss something there? voice-verified

that's not the point though, isn't voice-verified

move into the path of a would-be tackler, it doesn't matter whether he would have or not. voice-verified

Look, that's just, as I say, in the end, voice-verified

I think over the balance of time, these two, these things kind of sort of even themselves out and there might be something. voice-verified

Yeah, look, we've spent a lot of time talking about that and I think we can move on now because obviously looking ahead to the third test, it's going to be at that great stadium on the outskirts of Johannesburg, it's Soweto, it's a famous place and there have been some great test matches played there, but this becomes just so pivotal, this. voice-verified

How do the All Blacks respond to this? voice-verified

And I... voice-verified

I do think they'll have to make a couple of changes. voice-verified

I wonder whether they might make one. voice-verified

They've got to look at the situation at lock, whether they move Tupovai back to number six. voice-verified

I've got to say, I would really like to see, after his performance in the midweek game last week, I'd really like to see Ethan Black out of part of the mix. voice-verified

you can see why he's picked him because he's just got that electric acceleration but also it's the work rate he'll defend he'll go in there and he'll have a crack at picking a ball out or securing a ball from a turnover situation um and he'll also come in and throw quite a nice pass if you need someone to go in and deputize it voice-verified

that quite voice-verified

noticeable voice-verified

Well, you can see why they selected him. voice-verified

When there's a voice-verified

heat on, there's certainly some competition for places. voice-verified
