Bob Skinstad represented South Africa Rugby at all levels. Having captained the under 21 Springbok side in 1996 and 1997, he ascended to the adult team as a replacement on 29 November 1997 against England. He would go on to play 42 tests for the Springboks, scoring 11 tries – and captained the national side to its second Rugby Union World Cup in 2007, before retiring. Bob is now a Partner at the challenger consultancy firm Elixirr. Very recently Bob and Andrew Mehrtens (former All Black) completed the takeover of French second division club Beziers, heading up a consortium which also features ex-Formula 1 boss Eddie Jordan.Bob and I have a very candid chat about what is was like growing up in Zimbabwe as a white privileged child in an affluent family. During his teenage years Bob started to become fully aware of the challenges within South Africa during Apartheid. In fact Bob went on to meet Nelson Mandela in his role as national captain of The Sprinboks. Bob shares some great memories of chatting to Nelson Mandela and his incredible leadership and approach to inclusivity even after decades of incarceration. Bob reflects on his early life in South Africa and even with his obvious sporting talent he accepts that he took things for granted and didn't have a mentality for all out winning. Today, as a leader in business, Bob describes himself and learner as opposed to leader. The older he gets the more he realises what he doesn't know. When Bob started to play rugby it wasn't a profession for a full time role, it was all amateur. That changed for South Africa during the 1995 World Cup as Rugby started to mean more to the nation. Bob lived the transformational change within South Africa and became the first professionally contracted rugby player in the country. He made his men's debut in 1997 against England. Bob recalls having two district careers in rugby, one was the young devil may care maverick player that catapulted him into the national team and one was the captain and leader of a nation where he had to learn the history and scarred memories of many of his players who did not have the upbringing that he experienced.Belonging is a principle need for humanity and Bob explains how this is a powerful contributor to a high performing team, especially within a sporting context. Leading and managing chaos is inevitable on the international rugby field and Bob explains the importance of strategy, planning, speed of decision making and practice to help mitigate the chaos. One of Bob's standout lessons is that there are different types of people 'givers need to learn when to stop because takers never do' and so Bob realised how important it was to find his tribe with belonging purpose and passion.www.elixirr.com/en-gb/person/bobskinstad Hosted on Acast.

Two yellow cards were issued but we could have easily seen red, and Lions prop Kyle Sinckler has also been cited for an alleged bite.

So we're set for a tense series decider in Cape Town. Chris and Ugo are joined by Matt Dawson, Bob Skinstad and James Hook for reaction as the Lions were beaten 27-9 in the second Test. Did the pressure Rassie Erasmus put on the officials pay off? Where did it go wrong for the Lions in the second half? And what changes does Warren Gatland need to make if he is to claim another series win.
Has Rassie Erasmus just saved the series for South Africa or will this come back to haunt him?

The pair look back on all the big moments from Saturdays clash in Cape Town, discussing where the game was won and lost.One of the main men on Saturday was the TMO Marius Jonker. The South African native was controversially selected to officiate the clash, with many believing he could be bias towards the home side. What transpired was very different because it was the Lions who were the beneficiary of a number of TMO decisions on the day. Former international referee Nigel Owens joins the show to discuss if the decisions were the right ones and if they were crucial in deciding the game.We also look ahead to the second test and look at whether Warren Gatland will change a winning tide and we discuss the peculiar Twitter activity of South Africa Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus.Watch 'Doddie Weir: My fight against MND is bigger than ever': https://youtu.be/_B5lBZTKubISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eddie Jones says he cannot put his finger on what went wrong for England but luckily Brian and Kyran have a few theories of their own which they believe contributed to England’s defeat.As for South Africa they became the first side to lose a game in the World Cup and go on to win the tournament, former Springbok skipper and World Cup winner Bob Skinstad joins the show to describe why the victory means so much more than just a sporting triumph back in a country which is still divided on so many levels.Referee Jerome Garces was the brunt of a lot English fans criticism on Saturday morning but former international referee Jonathan Kaplan explains why he actually had quite a good final, and that the standard of refereeing overall in the tournament increased as it went on.And we debate whether or not Eddie Jones is the right man to lead England into the next World Cup in four years time, he refused to answer questions regarding his future but has agreed a contract with the RFU up until 2021.Get 30 days' access to The Telegraph completely free at https://telegraph.co.uk/audio Listen to the Audio Football Club: https://playpodca.st/afc
With the Pool stages of the 2019 Rugby World Cup drawing to a close, and the quarter finals starting to take shape, Brian Moore is joined in studio by former Springbok captain and World Cup winner Bob Skinstad to analyse which teams are likely to top their pool and ensure a safer route to the latter stages of the tournament.England came through their first tier one test with relative ease but we're aided massively by a red card to Argentinas' Tomas Lavanini. The decision has divided rugby fans across the World but both Brian and Bob agree with the punishment and think it will lead to more sensible tackles moving forward.Despite the win, Brian is still not convinced we've seen the best of Eddie Jones side just yet. Former World Cup winner Mike Tindall joins the show and gives us his take on how England should line up for their final pool match with France.As for France, they laboured to a narrow win over Tonga and have guaranteed their place in the quarter finals. Ahead of their pool decider with England there have been rumours of a rift between captain Guilhem Guirado and the senior coaching staff. One man who knows what it's like to coach France at a World Cup is Philippe Saint-André, he joins the show and explains why the French are more of a 4x4 than a Formula One car at present.Three teams could still make it out of Pool A. Hosts Japan are the only side heading into their final game with a 100% record, they take on Scotland on Sunday morning and former full back Hugo Southwell looks ahead to that game as well as the number of permutations surrounding the pool.And we get Bob's thoughts on South Africa's campaign so far, with issues off the pitch making more headlines the performances on the pitch.
The World Cup is now less than three weeks away and joining Brian in studio for the very first time is former Springbok captain and World Cup winner Bob Skinstad Bob believes that in the past eighteen months a number of teams (especially South Africa) have proved they can not just go far, but win the World Cup. Bob shares his experiences of working with current England head coach Eddie Jones who he believes is the best man manager is the game at the moment, and that he is England's secret weapon heading into the tournament. Wales and Ireland played out a forgettable warm up match in Cardiff and both sides have now confirmed their 31 man squads for the tournament, former Leinster and Ireland second row Mike McCarthy discusses Joe Schmidt's decision to omit Devin Toner, and former Osprey's coach Sean Holley dissects Warren Gatland's squad, one which Gatland says is good enough to win him the trophy. In the Southern Hemisphere, defending back to back champions New Zealand have named their squad. Former All Blacks skipper Sean Fitzpatrick runs the rule over Steve Hansen's selection and defends his side's tactics at the breakdown amid more allegations of cheating.
We're back for another season of Brian Moore's Full Contact and it's all eyes on the World Cup which is just 39 days away. Former England centre Tom May is alongside Brian to dissect Eddie Jones final 31 man squad for the tournament in Japan. The pair also analyse England's warm up win over Wales and what the benefits are of playing matches of high intensity so close to a major competition. As for Wales, they were the number one ranked side in the World for only a few hours before their defeat against England, we ask former Ospreys head coach Sean Holley if they're preparation is right heading into Japan. South Africa are hitting form at just the right time, their former skipper Bob Skinstad tells us how Rassie Erasmus has turned them into one of the tournament favourites in just over a year in charge, and we discuss some radical rule changes and player welfare following the decision to show New Zealand's Scott Barrett a red card during their defeat to Australia.

Howzit guys, so as entrepreneurs and business leaders, being able to unlock growth is a key focus in what we do. Yet, many of us are seemingly stuck in the trenches every day taking grenades, and we don’t get the time or space to work on our businesses so that we can identify the things that truly can 10x our value in the marketplace. For me principles are a great place to start, and one of the principles is the 8020 principle. Now, the 8020 principle is one of the most powerful success secrets in the world — but provided you implement it. Most people have heard of it, few put it into action. So, I reached out to Bob Skinstad in London – Bob is re-energising an age- old principle by sharing a collection of real-life examples from highly successful people of 8020 in action. In this episode, we unpack the meat and the potatoes of how to implement high growth initiatives like the 8020 principle and explore powerful concepts like marginal gains used by the Sky cycling team.

It's Super Rugby Final week here at Green and Gold Rugby but because there are no Aussie teams playing we are going to bring you another in our series of Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcasts. This week we finally get to the position you've all been waiting for, the front row. What better man to have on the show than a two-time RWC winner, the tough as nails Dan Crowley. Despite winning two World Cups, Crowls has a different story to tell than those of most of our previous guests as Dan only started two games in both tournaments, however was a crucial part of the wider squad. It's a great listen with some interesting insight to the success of those two great Wallaby teams. Once Dan departs, Hugh and Steve join me to dissect the two Super Rugby Semi-Finals to work out where it went wrong for the Brumbies and Tahs. Once we're done though, we have a go at picking our Wallaby team for the first test of the year against the Springboks in Brisbane on 18 July. Once again we are thrilled to be supported by the Reds Rugby Long Lunch on 16 July in Brisbane. Special guests will include David Campese, Ben Tune, Bob Skinstad, Sir Graham Henry, Bob Dywer and Wallaby coach Michael Cheika.

Ewen McKenzie has parted ways with Stade Francais and he speaks with RuggaMatrix. It's a frank, too the point and no holds barred interview done just hours after the announcement was made just 5 games into the Top 14 season. As always Ewen aims up and we wish him the best for the future. Les Kiss is back from the wilderness and he's got plenty to say about the Magners League and the performance of the Irish clubs. We find out where the Ireland nation team is up to and his thoughts on the Tri Nations. Our special guest star is former South African back rower and now commentator and businessman, Bob Skinstad.
