What a great chat with John Smit! This is easily my favourite rugby pod!

[@travismcgarry]

This is the best rugby podcast out there… format is great and quality insights

[@wot4922]

Good to see many Boks on the podcast 💚💛✌🇿🇦

[@MetYsJa]

Went to school with John, he was a legend of a guy even then already. Was great to hear from him again.

[@exb254]

Bryce Lawrence 😂😂😂 just spat out my coffee. Great podcast debut for the wife 👏

[@JIm-tc4dl]

This is just getting better and better , love it lads !

[@benpiek4428]

Great as always!

[@dazzerv]

Great crack - love the banter and reliving some of those memories …..

[@seamus9750]

Really fancied the Lion's to beat Glasgow in joburg. Great show 👏. Max looks like a real fanboy of John's stories.

[@JahnBeukesMusic]

Bryce Lawrence. I nearly died laughing! God bless John Smit's wife! Great cast, guys! Cheers from South Africa.

[@eugeneduplessis140]

There is something to do in Hamilton... Win the tri Nations 🤣

[@callumgowar]

Willemse's goal kicking scares me as our backup 10! Hate to say it but we need to take Morne to the WC!! Goal kicking and drop goals are critical! Frans Steyn must lose 8kg and make the squad as well!!

[@alistairclifton1286]

Wow, that means I played against John Smit at school level lol

[@DM-rp9ik]

Where's your one and why has she been replaced by some 13 year old child? Some serious questions need answers here.

[@cullyx2913]

Absolute legend on and off the field.

[@bobbydazzler3067]

every episode of this pod gets better. lols for days......Hogs to busy doing his hair to be captain

[@malusibuthelezi9742]

I enjoyed this one. John Smit captain my captain

[@chrismackerdush7728]

Look forward to this pod more than any other on youtube. Stories and camaraderie on here are unmatched and this episode took it up another level.

[@wot4922]

Shame man. None of us in Durban are sick. Probably because we're not swimming, surfing or fishing at the moment. Hope you are all feeling much better✌🇿🇦Maybe our Mayor will have it sorted out by next year🙄

[@frontierlandfrank5314]

Neither were they. Unless they lied previously.

[@Faust_ZA]

This was definitely a banger of a podcast

[@apeman2981]

Thank you for the Pod. As a saffa in Scotland it's awesome when you guys get Saffas on so we can get another perspective on things.

[@unclefester831]

I started watching rugby in 2003 and John Smit is one of the players that made me love the game. That generation of Springboks was special and it inspired many of the world champions of 2019. The last time I saw John Smit was on the House of Rugby back in 2019 during the RWC in Japan. Nice to see him on this platform👍

[@lewissypher2595]

And the HoR team already thinking they'd won the final And JS had that wry smile on his face. Said nothing. But thought what we all thought in SA.......Everybody got a plan. Til they get hit !!!!

[@at7512]

Missed your headline boys, "Fin good enough for the Boks" 😁

[@kiwiyasss8644]

Didn't the URC hire an independent medical team to investigate the sickness and they said the team brought it with them on their flight to Africa? I mean the Sharks team is based there all year round and have never had an issue with this!!! I don't think they have ever cancelled a game for a stomach bug!! If anyone finds a precedent to prove me wrong, please do.

[@ecallk5544]

Was reported overseas that it was tested and found to be two different strains of the bug - neither previously found locally?

[@lewissypher2595]

His 09 Boks side that put 3-0 on NZ was cause of aDecade of an AB dynasty

[@ayescot]

Probably your best boys

[@ivanmynhardt]

then why don't any of the SA teams have it.😉😉😉

[@ryanwaugh1]

Have what?

[@ivanmynhardt]

@@ryanwaugh1 ecoli and norovirus

[@thomasluke980]

Stop it

[@ryanwaugh1]

@@ivanmynhardt it’s strange. I know a few guys here who have continued to surf and haven’t had any issues. There is a problem the for sure. The ecoli levels are extremely high. The Municipality is trying to cover it up and seems to be doing little about it.

[@ledfloyd9056]

Brilliant episode! Great stories from an old living legend.

[@mohammeddesai8518]

Great show. Think you need to get bakkies on.jus a thought

[@benuri249]

Always a good laugh , really enjoy Ryan’s Saffer impressions being one myself.

[@colinscott8677]

Greatest Podcast ever, for Rugby... John is so funny and speaks so eloquently. You guys have the best questions and facial expressions... Love it Thanks

[@ivanmynhardt]

awesome episode

[@claytonfisher8458]

Well done lads👏🏽

[@joebranston738]

Finn should have been picked, simple as that.
