The Boks Office is back with Jean de Villiers, Hanyani Shimange, Schalk Burger and special guest Andrew Merthens as they react to the Springboks specials win over New Zealand rugby at Ellis Park. #rugby #BoksOffice

Andrew Merthens is such a class act and brilliant guest. Best rugby pod/round table discussion by far.

Wasn’t he born in Durban ?

For sure, lovely guy.

As a Kiwi, I have to say, you have a great show. You guys are such a crack up, but mixed in with some astute analysis and excellent game insights. It's also great to see the friendships that have developed after the ferocious rivalries on the field. Keep up the good work!

[@carolynnaude6710]

Thanks that's great to hear and yes, really good friendships built up over the years 😊👍

[@andrewmorrison8065]

You guys should invite Tim from Egg Chasers on the pod

[@desktappingdude]

Yesss

[@DomanaxTV]

That would be awesome

[@Goggawie]

Tim should be able to at least say hallo in 10 other languages first.....

whoa whoa hold your horses, Sacha's barely played 10 games, he's not even been given free reign with th team yet. besides we've had a sh17 ton of great 10s already, Handre, Morne Steyn, Dan Carter was crazy. Sacha's only an up n comer at this point, remember Manie wasn't even half bad, it's just that he had Elton Jantjies and Handre to compete with, which was actually a tough height to reach. I'd still be picking Handre to start if I was totally honest, but I have faith in Sacha being a proper leader of the back, but as I said; he just started, we don't know how things are gonna turn out yet

This conversation is exactly what rugby is all about! Can you imagine a bunch of soccer players having a conversation like this?!?

Schalk's rugby brain! I'm always amazed at that computer he calls his head, so so so sharp.

[@matthewkayser4162]

Love the podcast boys. Cannot get enough of this trio... all we need is Schalk to get his own podcast then I'm set 🤣

[@nicobadenhorst3162]

All the noise from all over past couple of weeks, if everyone listen to these guys rivals on the field mates of it and true respect for each other!l What happens on shows like this is a perfect example why theres no sport like rugby in the world!! The way they bring back memories is just awesome!!! Great show rugby still best ever sport to have been part of. Go Boks

[@francoisdutoit6206]

Halfway through and the smiles keep going, beers in hand, chemistry between old rivals. NZ has nothing like it sadly. I wish NZ would make their National sport fun again. Tap into legends lake Andrew Merthens, instead of replaying Matt Williams' nonsensicle rants on TV. Instead of NZ media making a mountain out of a molehill regarding the Haka. All respect to these Legends of the game. They keep it real.

[@peterwomersley]

Williams is an Ozzie with little credibility or success in any endeavour Dont focus on him

[@Kappulet]

Shimmy is such a class host. The level head and anchor in all the conversations... Crazy memory or is it all the research done being in the commentary box? ?

[@mattybhoy6522]

He's passionate. Probably all comes easy.

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Can’t agree more. Hope he makes a long career out of hosting like this

[@robvegaroaldwoods9609]

Fantastic conversation between men, not childish trolls and click bait media people. The All Blacks are our brothers in rugby and the team we fear and love playing the most. There’s nothing like the feeling you get when you win, but you thought you were gonna lose, or lose but thought you almost won. That only happens when we play the All Blacks. They are the benchmark for the Springboks and we need each other. Rugby becomes the best game in the world when these two teams play. No other contest comes close. And, to be honest, you never really know who’s gonna win. And that’s the point.

[@BhengzIn80days]

“You’re looking very corporate”😂😂😂 Shimmy

So true what they said about Habana.😂 The other day, he was doing the Koko Show 🎙 even though he had to be on a job interview panel 👔 thereafter.😂 No wonder he popped up everywhere on the rugby field.🏉 When his wife gave birth, he probably drove the ambulance, 🚑 delivered the baby, 👨‍⚕️ and issued the birth certificate.😆

I’m a long time rugby supporter approaching 50, and I can honestly say that one of the greatest joys I’ve discovered is the amazing vibe that exists among ex-rugby players discussing the game they played and loved, the laughs and the respect … I am honestly hooked on watching these shows and couldn’t be happier - this is one of the best, maybe the best one on KZbin 🫡

Andrew Mehrtens talking himself down but he is regarded by us as an All Black legend. From the North Is. I moved to Christchurch in the late 90's and worked in a tannery. I learnt very quickly, ...........you never say a bad word about Andrew Mehrtens! Talk about rose coloured glasses, to Cantabrians, he could do no wrong! Valid though, his boot won us a lot of games plus he's a good sort, with brains and a sense of humour. Great footy show. ------ Go the ABs.

Intensity is such a good descriptor for that game, absolutely loved watching both sides live as a Kiwi. Losing to Argentina I actually felt the same the first half, Argentina played amazing rather than ABs playing badly the 2nd half. I rewatched it and all sorts of things irritated me but such an intense contested good first watch.
