Excellent conversation and, as a Scottish supporter, I have to agree with the conclusion re. the game tomorrow. I just hope it's an exciting, tight game that showcases the best of both teams.
The one other strength, alluded to but not explicitly stated, that Finn Russell has is he can manufacture time for himself and others… which may help to (partially) counter the Bokke rush defence.
The draw makes a mockery of the best teams getting out of the pools and will effect who really the best team in the world is. Too much is made of the WC and many teams use this event as an excuse for poor performances in normal competitions. Personally it is not the same game I grew up with. Rules have changed, money came in forcing it into to be a more superficial running inclined spectacle to draw crowds and sell sponsor’s products.
i like how unbias u are but whew hows tghis bok squad and how we have gelled. in rassie we trust, we will destroy Scotland and shock the hell out of ireland. i enjoy ur cast, i see ur pain in trying not to say U bok befok hahahha
Great chat from you guys. I always believe that the team with the greatest defence will win the World Cup. Every World Cup we’ve won. We had the strongest defence… Yes you need to score tries and points. Interesting..,
Mighty impressive chap and great interview as always Brendan (you have the knack); nice balanced discussion and respect shown for various teams/players as it should be! Thanks! PS: as someone else suggested how good would it be to have someone like this take over the Boks?
Ohhh… im a bokkie living in England and the more i see and hear the more worried ive become. Ive got a funny feeling that Ire, Boks & Scots are each going to loose a game. SA took a long time to score against 13 ABs especially when they dominated territory & discipline in the warm up game.
Really interesting just listening to someone who understands the game, coaches & players everywhere.
Great guest, brilliant questions – thanks Brenden 👌
Very good discussion – thanks.
Duhan already was (and still is) the best winger in world for few years now… And… maybe a bit of humillity would help you guys!

What a fascinating analysis. I hope Van Graan takes an interest in the post of Springbok head coach after Nienaber.
One of the things I pulled from this interview…. How will the Boks replace Jacques?
what a fantastic interview. very inciteful coach . well done
Excellent discussion, great questions
Dankie menere lekke vet onderhoud …

Was going to comment but see everyone else saying the same thing. Great interview. Very knowledgeable guy.
Johann Van Graan "Your title here" lol!
Very enjoyable.
Thanks, great insightful interview. I now understand better the midfield pairing we have selected. It will help contain Finn Russel.
