Description
Former All Blacks and Blues hooker James Parsons joins longtime rugby commentator Tony Johnson on the DSPN, to dissect New Zealand's crushing and record-breaking 43-10 loss to South Africa in Wellington. Parsons praises the Springboks' clinical second-half performance and strategic variety, highlighting their dominance at the gain line and lightning-quick ball. He stresses the importance of "risk analysis" when selecting the All Blacks’ forward pack for tests to come. With Australia growing in confidence under coach Joe Schmidt, the pair ponder how possible it is that the All Blacks lose the Bledisloe Cup in 2025.
