Description

South African rugby writer Brenden Nel joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, for a comprehensive preview of the 2025 Rugby Championship, with a distinct Springbok flavour. Brenden offers insight into his nation's preparation, squad depth, and mindset ahead of facing Australia this weekend and, soon after, the All Blacks. Brenden and Marty discuss Rassie Erasmus’ tactical planning, evolving game style, and the importance South Africa places on defending their title - something they’ve never done before. He touches on selection debates, the value of building depth before the next Rugby World Cup, and why the All Blacks remain the ultimate measuring stick.
