Episode Description

This week on Rugby Direct, Elliott Smith and Liam Napier dive into the All Blacks' worst ever defeat - 43-10 to South Africa in Wellington - and ask what went wrong and perhaps more importantly, why lessons aren't being learned.

We debate everything from whether the coaching set-up is right to whether the All Blacks gave up in the last quarter against the Springboks.

We also wrap the Black Ferns' World Cup quarter-final win against a daring South Africa.
