    Greatest Rivalry Test 1: Steve Hansen on the All Blacks beating South Africa

    New Zealand 1, South Africa 0, and Steve Hansen, Ewen McKenzie and David Pembroke pull apart a Test that felt on a knife-edge until the scrum flipped the night. The All Blacks’ 33–16 win (five tries to one) looks comfortable, but the big moment was South Africa turning down points for repeated scrum shots and watching momentum swing hard. The panel digs into why the Springboks couldn’t convert 22 entries, the All Blacks’ goal-line effort and ball-stripping pressure, and the fallout from injuries and HIAs. There’s plenty on bench splits, the bomb squad not firing, and what Rassie Erasmus might do at 9 and 10 next week in Cape Town. Plus: Matthew Carley’s refereeing, TMO pushback, and yellow card debates, the Black Ferns’ 66–19 win over the Wallaroos, and major updates on the UK concussion legal battle.   Also in this episode:   ● Scrum dominance swung All Blacks vs Springboks momentum ● Why South Africa wasted key 22 entries ● Jordie Barrett’s big plays and leadership praise ● Rassie Erasmus’ selection dilemmas at 9 and 10 ● Matthew Carley, TMO moments, and yellow card debate ● Black Ferns thrash Wallaroos, plus concussion court update   PLUS: The panel weighs depth vs experience across a brutal four-Test series.   SIGN UP TO THE BIG 3 HERE: https://tinyurl.com/big3rugbyunity 👈👈   Ask Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie anything!

    Springboks v All Blacks - The Greatest Rivalry Test 1: Rassie, refs, and the chess match

    The Greatest Rivalry first test is on! Springboks v All Blacks in Johannesburg, with Matthew Carley in the middle and plenty of noise in the build-up. David Pembroke, Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie dig into Rassie Erasmus’ focus on referee protocols and the breakdown narrative, and what that pressure might mean once the whistle goes. They run the selections, the bench balance, and the key tactical battlegrounds: tempo changes, advantage line wins, kick-off variations, lineout pressure on Malcolm Marx, and the discipline trap when frustration hits. There’s also a big sidebar on decision-making, why it cannot all sit on the 10, and how leaders adjust when Plan A collides with reality. Plus listener questions on Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, tour fatigue, and what really beats elite scramble defence. Finish with a look at Black Ferns v Wallaroos, Whitney Hansen’s coaching, and the growth of the women’s game. Also in this episode: ● Rassie Erasmus and the referee protocol controversy ● Steve Hansen on All Blacks selections and injury returns ● Ewen McKenzie’s kick-off and advantage line game plan ● Breakdown, discipline, and how frustration creates penalties ● Richie McCaw and Dan Carter: mental skills and work ethic ● Black Ferns v Wallaroos preview and women’s rugby growth PLUS: A full tactical chat on tempo, kicking, and game-day adjustments under pressure.

    Springboks v All Blacks predictions + Wallabies v Japan, Bulls game & Argentina Tour!

    Optimism is back for the Wallabies after Townsville, with David Pembroke, Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie liking the clarity, breakdown pressure and second-half surge against Japan, plus big ticks for Carter Gordon’s control (and nine-from-nine goal-kicking), Isaac Henry’s impact, and front-row power close to the line. The chat then pivots to the next test of progress: a two-match tour in Argentina, with Los Pumas’ style, physical edge and selection unknowns setting up a proper measuring stick. On Japan, the Eddie Jones lens is clear: pace, skill and tempo can make them a nightmare, even with size limitations. From there it’s straight into the “greatest rivalry” build-up, as the All Blacks sharpen at Loftus ahead of Ellis Park and the Springboks’ selection squeeze at 10. Plus World Rugby’s referee guidance is on the Rugby Unity Substack, and the Third Voice questions go hard. Also in this episode: ● Wallabies breakdown turnovers flipped momentum after 51 minutes ● Carter Gordon’s game management and defence get big praise ● Isaac Henry compared to Daniel Herbert at outside centre ● All Blacks combos, scrum fixes, and Ellis Park preview ● Springboks flyhalf dilemma: Libbok, Pollard or Mngomezulu ● World Rugby referee guidance document shared via Substack PLUS: Selection disappointment, squad culture, and speeding up rugby’s stop-start tempo.

The panel break down what stood out against the Sharks, why discipline and scrum “technicalities” are suddenly front and centre, and how the high-ball battle shapes selection for the looming Springboks Tests.

    The Greatest Rivalry: All Blacks impress, Wallabies edge Japan and Springboks get pushed by Los Pumas!

    Cape Town kicks off the Greatest Rivalry series and David Pembroke and Steve Hansen get straight into what mattered: rust, discipline, and whether the TMO is overreaching when referees have already made the call. The All Blacks’ maul defence, scrum penalties, and a tough yellow for Anton Lienert-Brown all come under the microscope, alongside the risks of South Africa’s 6–2 bench split. Selection chat follows, including Billy Proctor’s broken shoulder blade, what it means for squad cover, and why Mo'unga talk is really about the 2027 Rugby World Cup. There’s also a look ahead to Durban v the Sharks, with Ma'a Nonu the feel-good storyline. In Part 2, the Wallabies edge Japan 35–32 in Osaka and the red card debate fires up, plus big calls on Meredith, Carter Gordon, and Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i at 13. Finally, Argentina push South Africa to the line in Buenos Aires, the Raeburn Shield gets a run, and the episode closes with condolences for Simoni Vuinalagi. Also in this episode: ● All Blacks rust, timing, and maul defence priorities ● TMO frustrations: truck and trailer and penalty try calls ● Billy Proctor injury forces changes and squad thinking ● 6–2 bench split risks for South Africa explained ● Wallabies v Japan: red card debate and No.10 options ● Argentina v South Africa: depth, kicking plan, Kolisi injury PLUS: The 2027 Rugby World Cup lens shapes selection, style, and development.

    Steve Hansen on Stormers v All Blacks, Japan v Wallabies + Argentina v Springboks! Greatest Rivalry Tour kicks off!

    David Pembroke and Steve Hansen run the ruler over a massive weekend of international rugby. The All Blacks tour begins in South Africa with Stormers v All Blacks, and the chat zooms in on why Beauden Barrett looks refreshed, how opportunity really works inside a big touring squad, and what Dave Rennie will actually measure beyond the scoreboard. World Rugby’s push towards a faster, more attacking game gets a hard look, alongside fresh tension around referees, law clarity, and the reported end of pre-match coach-ref meetings. The focus then swings to Osaka where Eddie Jones’ Japan face Les Kiss’ Wallabies in brutal heat and humidity, with selections, tactics, and defence shaping the debate. There’s also South Africa v Argentina with major Pumas unavailability, plus Sevens scheduling and the cost of under-20 pathways. Also in this episode: ● Ewen McKenzie recovering in hospital, Steve Hansen’s injuries ● Beauden Barrett’s role, mindset, and All Blacks selection pressure ● Stormers v All Blacks: young Yaqeen Ahmed and Khan threat ● World Rugby and coaches tension over pre-match referee meetings ● Eddie Jones’ Japan v Les Kiss’ Wallabies in humid Osaka ● Argentina v South Africa, plus Sevens and under-20 funding debate PLUS: A bigger argument on how rugby balances attack, contest, and community foundations.

    Greatest Rivalry: Springboks v All Blacks – Steve Hansen & Ewen McKenzie on the start of the tour!

    A hero’s welcome for the All Blacks in Cape Town kicks off a big conversation about why touring still matters, and why the New Zealand–South Africa clash has always felt like the sport’s true “World Championship”. David Pembroke, Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie unpack the build-up to the opener against the Stormers, the brutal reality of midweek games, and the All Blacks’ smart approach to PR, preparation and switching on at training. There’s also a close look at Rassie Erasmus taking a 26-man Springbok squad to Argentina, plus a preview of Japan v Wallabies in Osaka in serious heat and what Eddie Jones might spring to unsettle Australia under Les Kiss. Listener questions bring a straight-shooting chat on Zac Lomax leaving after a season and a half at the Force, plus a wider look at Samoa’s governance tensions and why Pacific rugby stability matters. Also in this episode: ● All Blacks get a huge Cape Town welcome ● Touring returns, with midweek games back on ● Greatest rivalry history: All Blacks v Springboks roots ● Stormers preview and All Blacks weekly preparation plan ● Japan v Wallabies in Osaka heat, Eddie Jones tactics ● Zac Lomax, Western Force fallout, and Wallabies selection debate PLUS: The panel also weighs Pacific rugby funding, accountability, and Samoa’s World Rugby tensions.

    World Rugby’s attacking trend, Greatest Rivalry selections + Wallabies Les Kiss era begins!

    David Pembroke, Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie take stock after the first phase of the Nations Championship and Nations Cup, and the big takeaway is simple: the calendar finally has purpose. The numbers back it up too, with more tries, fewer penalties against attack, and a clear shift towards rewarding ball-in-hand rugby, while the contestable kick and maul still matter if you can get into the 22 and stay there. The conversation then swings to Australia’s two-Test series against Japan, and what life might look like under new Wallabies coach Les Kiss, including the challenge of aligning a fresh coaching group fast. And looming over everything is the main event: All Blacks v Springboks, four Tests, contrasting styles, and even Eddie Jones calling a potential 2–2 split. Also in this episode: ● Nations Championship and Nations Cup judged a big win ● Stats show tries up, penalties down for attack ● All Blacks v Springboks: contrasting styles, four-Test series ● Les Kiss profile: collaborative, width, harmony and alignment ● Wallabies pathway debate: Super Rugby teams and depth ● Third Voice Qs: Jordie Barrett, Tupaea, Brodie Retallick PLUS: The panel debates cohesion, selection messaging, and what makes Test rugby harder than Super Rugby.
