Late Tackle: Springbok optimism at all-time high

Howie Kahn, Morgan Newman and Anton ‘Worms’ van Zyl share their thoughts on the Springboks’ series-clinching performance while Worms can’t help but state the obvious fall from grace England suffered.

Despite being highly impressed with the team’s performance, Newman questions whether there is a solid enough scrumhalf backup to Faf de Klerk.

Former Springbok flyhalf Butch James joins the conversation from 11:45 to share his thoughts on the Springboks and makes a case for his ideal backup to Handre Pollard before making special mention of Beast Mtawarira, who played his 100th International match in the green and gold.

Newman couldn’t help but ask Butch about the new tackle laws before Howie and Worms head back to England and the way they carried themselves during the post-match interviews.

The match between New Zealand and France was once again in the headlines for all the wrong reasons and there seems to be a bit of disagreement between the trio about Benjamin Fall’s red card at 25:50.

The team looks at the series deciding match between Australia and Ireland before wrapping the show up by looking at the remarkable achievement of France’s Under-20 side after claiming the U20 World Championship.

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

Now you are just being a woke, jealous fool. With the way things are run in NZ, no wonder he couldn't make a success there. Now that he is out shining any other New Zealanders, including their star players, now he is bitter and resentful and all sorts of hate speeches against him. That is what the fans like you do. Those in NZ who does have enough sense not to let pride cloud their vision, is all saying the same thing. NZ needs TB. Razor was made out to be a rugby coaching God by the fans, so much so that Foz was treated like the worst piece of shitte. Especially after the Twickenham disaster right before the WC. Ad then he nearly won the WC too with 14 players. As a Saffa the way he handled the media and the pressure leading up to the WC, was just extraordinary and I have gained a lot of respect for that man. Now your so called rugby coaching God managed to lose by an even bigger margin, IN NZ. All Razor does is overplay his players and he will never get the best out of those players, and let's face it, the current crop is good enough to be the best. However, they need an coach they can believe in completely. I don't think the players have bought into his coaching gig. TB was lucky to shake the dust of his boots when he left NZ, because only when he did that, did his career go from strength to strength. He got a WC medal to his name. Might get another if the Boks can keep up the good work. New exciting young talent is set to join soon after the WC as dangerous as SFM and Kolbe. Trust me, he doesn't want the AB's job. He is very happy in SA with the Boks. We score, you lose a great coach. We know quality when we see it, we don't chuck it in the bin like NZRU likes to do. Your coaching God is hanging on by a thread to keep his job🤣🤣🤣🤣
