Rugby Unity · 14 августа 2026 г. · 1 ч 11 мин

Ewen McKenzie is back to join Steve Hansen and Ewen McKenzie as The All Blacks’ South Africa tour rolls on from the Sharks match to a far bigger ask at Loftus Versfeld against a strengthened Bulls side, with the panel unpacking discipline, high-ball technique, scrum technicalities, and what the selection says about the coming Springboks test. There’s also a brilliant moment of rugby respect as Ma’a Nonu answers the haka. Over in Townsville, Les Kiss rings the changes for the Wallabies, while Eddie Jones tweaks Japan after that 35–32 loss, setting up a week where tempo control and basics could decide everything. Off-field, World Rugby’s new ref-access protocol lands, TMO involvement gets tightened, Super Rugby’s future looks shaky, and David drops strong mail on the next NSW Waratahs coach.
