The Rugby Weekly Extra podcast heard the Springboks can recover in emphatic fashion from their loss to Ireland.
WHO EMERGES FROM Ireland and South Africa’s Saturday night epic in best shape to progress through the competition and ultimately win the World Cup?
That was one of the questions asked on today’s episode of Rugby Weekly Extra, a podcast for subscribers to The 42. Bernard Jackman, the former Ireland hooker, said South Africa’s credibility as potential World Cup winners has been enhanced and not diminished as a result of their narrow loss to Andy Farrell’s side.“They’re the worst team France could play because France aren’t actually that well drilled at the moment.
“So while I have no doubt we can hurt them, it’s going to be so much harder in the final. And I think they’re going to close up and just double down on a kicking game, set piece and defence, so yeah I think they come out of this . . . we needed to win, and we did win and we’ll get better for it but my estimation of South Africa has gone up if that makes sense, I still think Ireland can win it but I think they’ve come out of this laughing.
