Episode 7: Concern for Cape Town Part II

In Season 2, Episode 7 of Nice Try For the Fans, we prepare for a monumental clash as the Springboks take on the All Blacks at DHL Stadium in Cape Town—marking the first-ever meeting between these two rivals at this iconic venue.

With Willie Le Roux and Handré Pollard back in the squad, it's clear the Boks are going all out for a win. We also spotlight Grant Williams' well-deserved start and discuss Timothy’s skepticism about the strength of the All Blacks’ bench.

Reflecting on the Ellis Park match, we break down the small margins, key moments, and standout players. We also dive into the All Blacks' overseas player policy and on the South African side we celebrate 'rotation vs. replacement' strategies for managing players with long-term goals in mind.

As always, we wrap up with our fan-favorite segment, The Ones Who Got Away, and soft launch our new feature, The Ones to Watch.

Plus, there's a small announcement and surprise towards the end, so if you listen for no other reason than to experience unbridled joy... tune in!
