Boks Want 3–1! | Rugby-kaans & The Baltimore Finale

Has South Africa already won Rugby's Greatest Rivalry?The Springboks leave home 2–1 up after three extraordinary Tests against the All Blacks — but there's still the small matter of a fourth match in… Baltimore.Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa are joined by Westley Cockrell, better known as Rugby-kaans, to talk about a series that has become about much more than results.Westley explains how Rugby-kaans began, why his wonderfully unfiltered Afrikaans match reactions connected with supporters and how rugby content unexpectedly became his full-time career. His online persona isn't entirely an act either: he tells Xola and Sim that what viewers see is essentially his genuine rugby-watching personality with a little extra volume. Then it's rugby.Why has this series captured South Africa in a way few tours have? Has Rassie created another generation of Bok heroes? Why does he reward players with that indefinable “dog” in them? Who have been the great surprise Springboks of the Erasmus era? And have we historically overlooked brilliant smaller players?Finally: Baltimore.Westley believes the South African series was won 2–1 and Baltimore should probably have been an exhibition. Sim largely agrees — but Rassie's near-full-strength selection suggests the Springboks themselves have absolutely no intention of treating it that way.So now there's only one thing to do.Make it 3–1.That Rugby Union Show with Xola Ntshinga and Simnikiwe Xabanisa.
