  • John Smit - Springboks' Development Under Rassie & Rivalry with All Blacks

    John Smit - Springboks' Development Under Rassie & Rivalry with All Blacks
    Sep 11 2025
    In a very special interview, Springboks legend John Smit joins Lachlan Waugh on the DSPN, in between the two All Blacks-South Africa rugby tests. Smit talks about both teams and where they're at, the Springboks constant rotation under coach Rassie Erasmus, and whether or not that could be detrimental to their 2027 World Cup build-up. Smit also touches on his own illustrious career - including his 2007 World Cup win, whitewashing the All Blacks 3-0 in 2009, and playing both hooker and tighthead prop at a high level.

    All Blacks Team Naming - Leroy Carter's Rapid Rise & Noah Hotham's Return
    Sep 11 2025
    Longtime Kiwi sports broadcaster Nigel Yalden joins the DSPN to break down coach Scott Robertson’s latest All Blacks selections, for this weekend's test against the Springboks in Wellington. Nigel praises the depth Razor has built, highlighting Leroy Carter’s rapid rise to a starting spot and Noah Hotham’s return at halfback. He explains how the All Blacks’ set-piece variations could keep South Africa guessing and why Simon Parker’s physicality has been a game-changer. While Nigel would have preferred Luke Jacobson on the bench, he believes this side is primed for a more expansive clash.
