Jim Hamilton - Boks Go 2-1 Up! 29-24 in Soweto, Savea Injured + Wallabies Make History

Description

Before a ball was kicked in this series, Jim Hamilton said the All Blacks could beat South Africa in one Test — but they would not win a series. Three Tests later, that is precisely what has happened. South Africa beat New Zealand 29-24 at a packed FNB Stadium in Soweto to go 2-1 up in Rugby's Greatest Rivalry. They lost Cheslin Kolbe to a broken jaw inside ten minutes, went 12-5 down, and still found a way — through a penalty try from a scrum that settled a week of arguing between two coaches, and through Malcolm Marx, who was rated 9 out of 10 and was the man who cleaned Ardie Savea out of the Test match. George Gregan and John Smit are joined by Jim Hamilton — 63 Tests in the second row for Scotland, and co-host of The Rugby Pod — to go through all of it. Plus: the Wallabies draw 28-28 in freezing Mendoza to win their first ever Test series in Argentina, and Les Kiss is still unbeaten. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
