Jamie Wall: All Blacks Selections for Third France Test, Scott Robertson Building Depth, & Springboks Innovation

Philasande Sixaba - sports broadcaster for SuperSport in South Africa - joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, to talk all things Springbok rugby after their two Italian tests, and with the Rugby Championship fast-approaching. The pair talk South African rugby's bold innovations, growing depth, and Boks assistant Tony Brown’s attacking influence. Sixaba praises the “mad genius” Rassie Erasmus for adding Brown to the coaching setup, calling it a masterstroke that has transformed South Africa’s fluidity on attack. They dissect the legality of unconventional plays like the deliberate short kickoff and in-play lineout lifting, which Sixaba defends as within the rules... for now. With combinations being tested and a player pool nearing 50-strong, Sixaba believes the Springboks are building perfectly ahead of two tests in New Zealand this year, and the next World Cup just two years away.
