from The Lekker Rugby Pod! · host Harry Jones and MW Welman

Mark Morgan from Two Cents Rugby joins Harry Jones and MW Welman for a first test post-mortem that gets uncomfortable fast.

Mark explains what Dave Rennie changed under the radar, and why it caught even the All Blacks supporters off guard.There's plenty to get through: the CPR numbers that halved from the warm-up games, an under-the-weather Ethan de Groot stuck in the front row, and the captaincy question nobody in South Africa wants to ask out loud.In this episode:- The Rennie Effect: how the All Blacks' gameplan shifted between the warm-ups and kickoff- Why the Boks' dominant stats never showed up on the scoreboard- The scrum penalty that swung the momentum, and the case for taking the three- Whether Pieter-Steph du Toit is the right captain with Siya Kolisi unavailable
