Jean de Villiers on Cape Town and the Scrum War

SEP 1, 202650 MIN

Description

Last week South Africa got 0.9 points every time they entered the All Blacks' 22. In Cape Town they got four. That's the whole Test match. The Springboks won 33-26 to level Rugby's Greatest Rivalry at 1-1 — while scoring fewer tries than New Zealand. Kolbe kicked seven from seven. Kolisi returned, captained and scored. And then Rassie Erasmus and Dave Rennie went to war over the scrum. George Gregan and John Smit are joined by Jean de Villiers — 109 Springbok Tests, 37 as captain, 2007 World Cup winner — to break down how the series turned, what the All Blacks do about their lineout, and who wins at FNB Stadium on Saturday. Plus the Wallabies hold off Argentina 27-21 in Jujuy, and Les Kiss stays unbeaten. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
