About this listen

The Springboks got it done in Paris — and Xola Ntshinga & Sim Xabanisa break down everything from an emotional, physical, beautifully ugly South Africa vs France showdown.

This episode covers:

  • How the Boks controlled the chaos and forced France to play on South Africa’s terms

  • France’s emotional overload — the spy talk, the leaks, the revenge story, and why it all backfired exactly as predicted

  • The key tactical shifts: 6–2 bench impact, pressure on France’s inexperienced props, the Bok back-three battle, and their defensive organisation

  • The milestones — Kolisi’s 100th, Rassie’s 50th — and how both shaped the attitude and calmness of the Boks

  • The turning points France couldn’t manage without Dupont’s influence or pack stability

  • Mind games that mattered and why France still haven’t fully recovered from 2023

  • What this win means for the rest of the season and where both teams go from here

Straight rugby talk. Zero PR. No sugar-coating.
