@therugbypod Could their incredible amount of star power actually become an issue?👀 #rugbypod #springbokrugby #southafricarugby ♬ After Dark Retrowave PBH – PBH

When we lost so many players I also got worried only because of the game plan but not because of capable replacements. 👌🏾
He’s actually not wrong about England, they produce a lot of players, might not all be the same quality that you see in the top 4 teams but they have the depth to cover every position and not lack
The difference between SA and England is that our top guys are so damn close to each other on skill level that its hard to choose and that makes replacement easy whith England tho, there is a very clear number 1 and number 2 for the same positions
Tbh, I think that’s where we need to give the players credit for how humbly they take the rotation & competition for places. Look at teams like NZ, they lose a lot of fringe players bc they’re not willing to stay & fight for a place & bc of their overseas rules, they become ineligible.
