Pioneered the best defensive system in rugby, one no other team has been able or daring enough to emulate. Was visionary enough to see the potential of Fourie at hooker, Grant and Cobus on the wing, Faf at flyhalf and Moodie at 13 - and was brave enough to pick them there.

Since September 2018 the All Blacks and Springboks have played each other 11 times. The All Blacks have won 5. The Springboks have won 5. One draw. Of those 11 matches, 7 of them have finished within a 2 point margin. That’s 64% of the results determined by a single score.

8 seconds in is the audio. Bongi is shouting ‘wit kant’. White side. I think this is the Springboks system call for when the opposition are switching the play. He identifies this early and alerts his defenders. You can hear him shout it repeatedly.

I do wonder what is more likely 1) Bongi shouting ‘white kant’ to alert all his defenders that the ball is on the English side. Or! 2) that he has decided to racially insult at an English player in his third language using a swearword that no one in South Africa uses. 🤔
