The All Blacks have gone to Ellis Park and won five tries to one
and Marshy was standing in the middle of it. This week Andy is
joined by Justin Marshall live from Johannesburg, still dusty,
still 30 years on from '96, and Kieran Read in studio after a 3am
alarm and a duvet on the couch with his boy. They break down how
the All Blacks were under the pump for 40 minutes and still walked
off with a scoreline that flattered them, the three unnoticed
effort plays that swung the whole test, and why nobody in that
squad celebrated like the job was done. Then Marshy finally does
some homework and brings in former Springbok World Cup winning
captain John Smit, who watched from the stands next to Francois
Louw. He's honest about what he saw, the scrum that should have won
it, the unforced errors he hasn't seen from this Springbok side in
years, and what Rassie might do in Cape Town. He also explains what
this tour has done to South Africa: green shirts every Friday,
nothing getting done, and for the first time in the country's
broadcasting history, more people watching rugby than football.
Plus: the points-per-22-entry stat the coaches are obsessed with,
why Fabian Holland has become crucial, whether George Bower has
forced a start, and a proper appreciation for Matt Carley telling
the TMO no. The Fearless Player of the Week is brought to you by
Gallagher, your trusted insurance broker — backing the show and
backing the game. Three tests to go. How good.
