Really a symbol of hope for South Africans and a beacon of how group of South Africans from all walks of life can come together as one. It’s really incredible. They are brutal on the field but have so much humility and just genuinely good people. The work that Rassie and his team have done extends beyond rugby. Siya is so inspirational too. Love this!

[@CH-yp5by]

The Aussies have a pretty big tight 5 and a very strong scrum as shown against the French in their warm up and against Georgia whom are famous for their scrum as its their main strength that they take pride in. Their inside centre Kerevi and wingers Koribete and Mark Nawatwintawasi can give some big hits and have shown up in the break down doing some quality clean outs. The Wallabies will be competitive but I doubt they can match the Boks agression, but you never know.

Keep up the great work Jim!

I can understand why some people see South Africans as 'arrogant', but this. i think is a misunderstanding. There is a difference between 'arrogance' and confidence. The South Africans are confident - and with their current team, right so.... The Springboks are the team to beat.

[@alastairnewman1233]

What Schalk did not mention is that 'the past' in South African is not only the huge stadiums, the Currie Cup, the interprovincial rivalry or exclusion of the Springboks in the first World Cup. It's Rassie and his team's inclusion of the historical style of the apartheid era South African Rugby Association (SARA) for black players and the South African Rugby Federation (SARF) for mixed race players. South African Rugby fought itself for the first 25 years after liberation. Now it isn't fighting itself any more. The Springboks display the potential that underpins diversity. Today's great Springbok players no longer copy the styles of previous International Springbok greats, they show the greatness of the styles which unrepresented groups never had an international stage to display on and which apartheid and exclusion had kept separate. Every time the Boks prevail today, a South African public celebrates how right it is to include us all. Manie Libbok ,Kurt-Lee Arendse or Hanyani Shimange don't have a style of play like any previous Springbok greats. But if you travel around the Boland and watch rugby played on imperfect fields with hundreds of spectators lining the touchline, you'll find plenty Libboks, Arendses and Shimanges. Then travel to the Northern or Eastern Cape where fields are tufts are grass laid out at an unlikely angle. Where men would play barefoot for want of money to afford boots. But the brand of beer they drink and the banter afterwards is still the same. That is Rugby

"Wild aminal fuelled by God" - brilliant! Thanks Jim and Schalk for the awesome chat.

There’s something magical about watching ex-players discuss this great game, regardless of their country of origin. But there’s something great about players like Schalk, a humility alongside not being afraid to speak his mind, that makes him really good to listen to.

I love how they are all such good mates and enjoy each others company and talking about rugby so much, brilliant

Ireland might have something to say about that next weekend ;-)

Skalla needs his own podcast, naturally funny, insightful and a gentleman. Jim is brilliant as well and I’ve enjoyed his content massively.

So tired of this Springbok worship rubbish. The AB's can beat them on any day! You're all acting like it's done and dusted. Wait and see.
