About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the third test in the rugby series between South Africa and New Zealand, including controversies surrounding Rassie Erasmus and features an interview with Sean Fitzpatrick about Jonah Lomu.
The Greatest Rivalry series is level at 1-1! South Africa beat New Zealand in Cape Town and now attention turns to the third test in Johannesburg. Despite being a four match series, is the third test - which is the final one on South African soil - the unofficial decider? Alfie and Alex reflect on the second test including the controversial build-up, in which Rassie Erasmus made multiple changes to his matchday squad. Was this within the regulations? Did it go against the spirit of the game? Plus, legendary former All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick chats to Alex about the upcoming film 'Jonah' which focuses on the iconic Jonah Lomu. Sean explains why there will never be another player like him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
