Boks on course to peak in New Zealand, after having Italian for starters

Fire up the braai, let's get the party started, it's time to eat your favourite pasta and get our takeaways on the Springboks series win over the Italians. The Azzuri were well and truly beaten in the second Test, but our panel believe the Italians provided a good test for the Springboks who are primed to peak over their two games in New Zealand during the Rugby Championships. We also talk about Rassie Erasmus's new innovations (open play lineout mauls), give you our perspective on André Esterhuizen's new hybrid role, and pay tribute to the man, the legend that is Willie le Roux on his 100th Test. Hosts: Zayn Nabbi and Courtney Freese Guest: Peter Stemmet (Al Jazeera Sports Presenter and Front Row Rugby)#springboks2024 #erasmus #italy #southafricaFollow us on IG: @otw_podcastFollow us on Twitter: @otw_podcastLike us on Facebook: On The Whistle PodcastShow Notes 00:00 - Introduction 02:15 - We hit the mailbag 04:00 - Springboks dominate with 14-men in improved performance 10:00 - Did the Boks innovation disrespect Italy? 18:00 - Set pieces still require improvement 22:30 - Project André Esterhuizen looking very good 27:00 - 100 Not Out for Willie le Roux - coaching should be his next move 34:45 - Georgia next on the Bok menu Duration: 37:45 Hosted on Acast.
