Instant Reaction| Are the Springboks Taking Italy Too Lightly? | Lekker Rugby Pod Reaction
Description
The Springboks face Italy, and the Lekker Rugby Pod is here to break it down. MW Welman and Harry Jones dive into the odd selection, the tactical chess moves, and the real test behind this so-called "easier" fixture.Harry calls this a "heat check" game, a chance for South Africa to flex their depth but also a dangerous test against an Italian side brimming with belief after toppling Australia. The guys unpack why Willemse must start at fullback before Ireland, how Pollard's experience stabilizes the backline, and why the midfield might just be the Springboks' biggest question mark.They also debate whether the Boks' habit of playing wide could hand Italy early momentum, and how young players like Porthen and Kleyn handle their first big stage moment.Plus, sneak peek: the new Megafoon Rugby documentary series Long Way to the Game drops this Sunday, featuring a Megafoon Rugby supporter in a story that hits home for every rugby fan.Watch, subscribe, and join the conversation, because this is where rugby meets story.
