News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: Are we seeing glimpses of Rassie’s grand plan for 2027?

What's Coach Rassie Erasmus got up his sleeve this test season? The Lead host Graeme Raubenheimer and News24's senior sports journalist Khanyiso Tshwaku believe your guess is as good as theirs!

The Springbok test season is in full swing with a convincing win over the Barbarians this past weekend, a first on South African soil.

Now, the Boks’ sights are set on sinking Italy and Georgia in quick succession, with the match-ups offering the front line-up, in particular, a considerable challenge.

Building depth among the forwards is key, according to News24’s senior sports journalist Khanyiso Tshwaku, who joins us in this edition of The Lead to chat Bok depth, Rassie’s new “hybrid” player, and pricey match tickets.

Later in the show, host Graeme Raubenheimer reports that conflict in the Middle East means you’ll pay more for fuel from Wednesday. Finally, a kidnapped Cape Town baby is found, and a woman is in police handcuffs.
