Episode 126: Is Ireland the Springboks' Bogey Side?
Description
Harry Jones and MW Welman dig into the rivalry that keeps gnawing at South African rugby. Ireland keep finding a way and the boys want to know why. They look at the last five tests, the odd patterns in the results, and the tactical habits that let Andy Farrell’s team flip Bok strengths into weaknesses. Harry breaks down turnovers, physicality traps, and the jiu jitsu style Ireland use to unsettle heavy teams while MW tries to stop the episode from spiralling into full chaos. They revisit the 35 point Dublin disaster, the failed redemption test, and the tension in the camp this week as the Boks prepare for another brutal showdown at the Aviva. There is Rassie talk, Farrell talk, referee talk, and World Rugby’s refereeing circus. Harry reflects on last week’s swearing spree while MW jokes that the apology is still outstanding. They tease Thursday’s big content drop with Jordan Buhrs and return again and again to the same question. Why do Farrell’s men keep blocking Rassie’s path?
