Boks Unpacked - Jalibert Magic, Leinster Survive & Bok-All Blacks Mind Games

About this episode

The episode discusses rugby topics including social media abuse, the Champions Cup, and predictions for upcoming matches.

This week on Boks Unpacked , the boys are back with plenty of rugby, plenty of nonsense, and Jean de Villiers broadcasting from what may or may not be a secret bunker. Schalk Burger, Jean and Shimmy get stuck into social media abuse in sport, George North’s incredible career, and Steve Hansen’s claim that the Springboks are “very beatable” ahead of the huge All Blacks series. There is also a full breakdown of the Champions Cup drama, with Leinster grinding their way past Toulon, Bordeaux lighting things up again, and Matthieu Jalibert earning serious praise as the We Buy Impact Player of the Week. The guys debate Sharks recruitment, James O’Connor rumours, rugby diets, giant steaks, 24 beers, and whether a drawn Bok-All Blacks series could really come down to extra time or something even stranger. Plus, the URC run-in heats up with predictions for Ulster vs Stormers, Bulls vs Zebre, Sharks vs Benetton, and Leinster vs Lions. The Millennium XV finally lands on inside centre, Shimmy faces another forfeit, and the Betway Match of the Weekend gets the full treatment.
