The Springboks didn’t just win against Italy—they silenced them completely. Holding a Six Nations team scoreless, even while playing nearly half the match with 14 men, sends a chilling message.In this instant reaction episode of the Lekker Rugby Pod, MW Welman and Harry Jones break down the chilling signs of a Springbok side that’s evolving from strong to truly ominous under Rassie Erasmus’s masterful guidance.From the tactical brilliance of the floating lineout to Edwill van der Merwe’s ghostlike positioning, from Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s precise kicking to Jan Hendrik Wessels’ raw impact, every move revealed a team quietly sharpening its edge.MW shares exclusive insight from his conversation with Italy’s Sebastian Negri, while Harry unpacks how the Boks smothered every attack and maintained relentless control — even shorthanded.This is no accident. It’s a brutal warning. The Springboks aren’t just back — they’re circling, patient and dangerous.

The Springboks beat Italy 42–24 in Pretoria — but the performance raised more questions than it answered. In this Instant Reaction episode of the Lekker Rugby Pod, MW Welman and Harry Jones go beyond the scoreline to unpack the Springboks’ shaky second half and whether the famed Bomb Squad is still the weapon it once was.Despite starting strong and building a commanding lead, the Boks lost control of the game in key moments. Italy ran in three tries and exposed clear issues around breakdown efficiency, defensive structure, and momentum management. Harry questions the effectiveness of the all-at-once substitutions, noting how the Bomb Squad may have disrupted rhythm instead of reinforcing it. He also raises concerns about the form of senior players like Bongi Mbonambi, and whether South Africa’s strategy has become too predictable.MW offers perspective from inside Loftus, acknowledging the electric first half but pointing to structural cracks that allowed Italy back into the game. They both agree the win was convincing on paper — but far from clinical.This episode is for fans who want to understand not just what happened, but why it matters. Smart rugby talk, sharp analysis, and honest questions — all from the Lekker Rugby Pod. Only on Megafoon Rugby!

Last week, Warren Gatland dropped a spicy column in The Telegraph, claiming the Springboks might have spied on the British & Irish Lions during their 2021 tour of South Africa. According to him, there was a house in Hermanus. It overlooked their training field. And from inside that house… someone watched. He believes Rassie Erasmus was on the pitch disguised as a water boy, holding a suspicious piece of paper — which, when zoomed in on, showed Lions calls. He even suggests that Lukhanyo Am’s massive hit on Elliot Daly may not have been instinct… but intel.We took this very seriously. Or rather, we pretended to.In this full parody skit, we imagine a world where Gatland didn’t just write a column — he filed a formal complaint. Six months ago. And World Rugby launched a covert investigation, appointing the only man with the guts, the gall, and the gumboots to take it on: the Rugby Fixer, Harry Jones.This is not a documentary.
