We are 5 weeks into the URC and have 5 weeks of Springboks rugby ahead - it's the perfect time for a stock take. Do the Boks have what it takes to go 5 from 5? Are the Stormers as good as they seem? Did the Citing Commissioner set an extremely dangerous precedent? The answer to at least one of those questions is a yes. Listen in to find out what the guys think.
This week, Scoop and Huw take you though URC matches and touch on international chat. Sacha Comments From SA Rugby Pundits Is Trokkie Augustus the best 8 for the future, ahead of Roos and Hanekom? Wallabies get Carter Gordon back The Greatest Rivalry Tour - Springbok vs Allblacks

Setelah hampir tiga dekade sejak Reformasi, lanskap Organisasi Masyarakat Sipil (OMS) di Indonesia mengalami transformasi hebat, namun juga diwarnai kerentanan struktural yang kompleks. Laporan riset dari ARC UI dan POLGOV UGM, "Mengakar dan Menyebar? Peta Gerakan Masyarakat Sipil Indonesia di Masa Kemunduran Demokrasi", memberikan peta jalan analisis kritis terhadap kondisi terkini OMS, menyoroti kontradiksi mendasar antara tuntutan profesionalisme dan pelemahan agenda politik transformatif. Warisan Otoritarianisme dan Kontradiksi Struktural Konteks historis pasca-1998 menunjukkan bahwa kebebasan yang diperoleh telah diserap kembali ke dalam tatanan baru. Meskipun jumlah OMS, LSM, dan kelompok advokasi menjamur pada awal 2000-an, laporan ini menegaskan bahwa warisan Orde Baru tetap memengaruhi struktur dan kinerja mereka. Warisan ini termanifestasi dalam fragmentasi aliansi pro-demokrasi, penyerapan aktivis ke dalam institusi negara, dan melemahnya politik kelas yang seharusnya mampu mengonsolidasikan basis massa akar rumput. Laporan ini secara khusus mengkaji bagaimana OMS kini beroperasi di tengah fenomena kemunduran demokrasi yang tidak hanya terjadi di Indonesia, tetapi juga secara global. Di Indonesia, kemunduran ini ditandai dengan kembalinya elit ekonomi politik otoritarian melalui dinasti politik, yang turut menyempitkan ruang gerak sipil (halaman 9). Penyempitan ruang sipil ini diperparah oleh lingkungan regulasi yang kontradiktif (Temuan 1, halaman 15). Negara secara strategis menggunakan dua wajah hukum: satu sisi ada regulasi yang mendukung HAM (seperti UU No. 39 Tahun 1999 tentang HAM), namun di sisi lain terdapat regulasi represif (seperti UU No. 16 Tahun 2017 tentang Ormas dan UU ITE) yang memperkuat pembatasan. Kriminalisasi digital, dengan ratusan kasus berbasis UU ITE, menjadi ancaman nyata yang melampaui batas digital. Paradoks Profesionalisme: Teknikalisasi dan Depolitisasi Inti temuan laporan ini adalah identifikasi dua proses sentral yang membatasi kapasitas transformatif OMS: teknikalisasidan depolitisasi. Teknikalisasi didefinisikan sebagai proses sehari-hari yang menekankan efisiensi, standardisasi, dan manajerialisme dalam pengelolaan program OMS (Boks 6, halaman 12). Praktik ini didorong oleh tuntutan akuntabilitas donor, khususnya skema Government-to-Government (G-to-G), yang mewajibkan pelaporan teknis, kerangka logis, dan indikator kinerja kuantitatif yang ekstensif. Laporan tersebut mencatat Paradoks Profesionalisme (Temuan 2, halaman 17), di mana OMS institusional menjadi lebih profesional secara manajerial—ahli dalam penulisan proposal dan evaluasi dampak—namun kapasitas politik mereka untuk mendorong reformasi struktural justru menurun. Tuntutan manajerial ini menyita waktu dan energi yang seharusnya dialokasikan untuk pengorganisasian komunitas tapak, menyebabkan fragmentasi organisasional karena OMS terjebak dalam "silo program" mereka sendiri. Depolitisasi, sebagai pasangan dari teknikalisasi, adalah erosi bertahap atas dimensi politik dalam aktivitas OMS, yang ditandai oleh menyempitnya ruang deliberasi publik (Boks 6, halaman 12). Ketika fokus utama beralih pada pencapaian hasil program untuk menghindari risiko pendanaan, diskusi mengenai relasi kekuasaan dan agenda transformasi sosial menjadi sulit dijalankan, melemahkan konsolidasi gerakan lintas kelas. Kontradiksi ini juga tercermin pada dampak kerja OMS: OMS yang menangani isu yang dikuasai elit ekonomi politik (pertambangan, kelapa sawit) memiliki dampak terbatas, sementara OMS yang bergerak di wilayah yang tidak dikontrol elit (kesetaraan gender, disabilitas) justru menunjukkan peningkatan pengaruh (halaman 7). Kondisi ini menciptakan fragmentasi OMS yang disponsori negara, yang semakin memecah belah kekuatan masyarakat sipil (halaman 14). Otonomi Lokal dan Rizoma Gerakan Muda Di tengah dominasi teknikalisasi di tingkat nasional, laporan ini juga menyoroti dinamika penting di tingkat lokal dan gerakan akar rumput orang muda. Pada tingkat lokal, OMS menghadapi pilihan antara meningkatkan kapasitas teknis melalui pendanaan (risiko teknikalisasi) atau mempertahankan otonomi politik (risiko keterbatasan sumber daya) (Temuan 3, halaman 19). Kasus Dewan Rakyat Lampung (DRL) menjadi contoh model alternatif yang menolak dukungan finansial donor demi menjaga kohesi dan otonomi politik, meskipun harus menghadapi keterbatasan jangkauan ketika berhadapan dengan entitas besar seperti BUMN. Laporan ini secara khusus menggarisbawahi rizoma gerakan orang muda (Temuan 4, halaman 22) sebagai kekuatan baru dalam ekosistem masyarakat sipil. Model Organisasi Rizomatik: Gerakan ini mengadopsi struktur yang horizontal, cair, dan berjejaring, yang berbeda dari struktur hierarkis OMS institusional. Mereka memanfaatkan teknologi digital sebagai tulang punggung untuk koordinasi dan mobilisasi cepat. Independensi Pendanaan: Mengandalkan pendanaan mandiri, iuran anggota, atau crowdfunding memberikan mereka otonomi politik dan membebaskan mereka dari tuntutan pelaporan formal donor. Potensi Transformatif: Gerakan ini mampu memobilisasi massa secara luas dan cepat, seperti dalam demonstrasi #ReformasiDikorupsi (2019) dan protes anti-UU Cipta Kerja. Mereka juga memperkenalkan wacana baru seperti interseksionalitas dan keadilan iklim. Namun, laporan ini juga memperingatkan bahwa model rizomatik ini rentan terhadap fragmentasi organisasional, bersifat sporadis, dan menghadapi ancaman serius dari represi digital (UU ITE). Rekomendasi untuk Konsolidasi Progresif Berdasarkan temuan kontradiksi yang terjadi, laporan ini menyajikan sejumlah rekomendasi strategis (Boks 11, halaman 24) untuk memperkuat gerakan masyarakat sipil di tengah kemunduran demokrasi. Menjembatani OMS Institusional, Organik, dan Komunitas Tapak: Mendesak pengembangan mekanisme pendanaan kolaboratif yang mengintegrasikan akuntabilitas formal dengan keterlibatan politik transformatif. OMS institusional didorong untuk membangun konsolidasi gerakan tanpa terjebak pada luaran program yang kaku. Mendukung OMS di Tengah Kemunduran Demokrasi: Diperlukan desain program fleksibel yang memungkinkan kerja advokasi di luar kerangka programatik. Bantuan legal dan keamanan digital harus diprioritaskan, terutama bagi OMS di wilayah berisiko tinggi. Memfasilitasi Dialog Antargenerasi Aktivis: Merekomendasikan penciptaan ruang pertukaran strategi dan pengetahuan yang setara antara OMS terinstitusionalisasi, organik, dan gerakan orang muda. Skema peer mentoringdua arah diperlukan agar aktivis senior menyumbang narasi historis dan aktivis muda menyumbang inovasi digital dan taktik mobilisasi. Memperkuat Peran OMS Lokal: Pendanaan harus disalurkan langsung ke OMS lokal dengan meminimalkan perantara pusat (Jakarta), terutama bagi mereka yang menghadapi tekanan dari industri ekstraktif dan kepentingan elit ekonomi politik. Mendukung Gerakan Rizomatik Orang Muda: Dukungan alternatif tanpa persyaratan institusionalisasi formal perlu diberikan, serta mendorong pertukaran lintas daerah antarkolektif muda. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun OMS Indonesia menghadapi hambatan signifikan akibat teknikalisasi dan depolitisasi, resiliensi mereka tampak melalui kemunculan model aktivisme baru dari generasi pascareformasi 1998. Kontradiksi ini—antara kekuatan basis sosial yang beragam dan penyebaran jejaring organik yang adaptif—menawarkan peluang bagi pembaruan gerakan pro-demokrasi untuk menjadi motor perubahan sosial yang progresif.
This week we've got a the bath beast on the pod — South Africa's World Cup–winning prop and fresh Rugby Championship champion, Thomas du Toit.We get into the Boks' brutal battle with Argentina, that record demolition of the All Blacks, Bath's big season, transfer gossip (billions of rand?!), and why Rassie Erasmus apparently wants every prop to kick goals and run 90 metres for fun (or not)Plus: the “freak athlete” question that reveals who's the most ridiculous physical specimen in the Bok camp.
This week on The Rugby Pod, the lads send their thoughts and support following the very emotional news as England legend Lewis Moody reveals his MND diagnosis. Everyone on the Pod wishes him, and his family the very best during this very tough time, and we're here to support in any way we can. On the pitch, the lads react to the news that Steve Diamond sacked by the Newcastle Red Bulls, with Gregor Townsend joining in a surprise advisor role. We also break down the action from the Rugby Championship and what it means for the upcoming Autumn Internationals. Can Scotland finally beat the All Blacks?

The ARP review the Rugby Championship and where the All Blacks stack up in comparison to the Springboks.Is Quinn Tupaea the long term answer at 13, considering the All Blacks' game plan and where's the best spot for Leicester Fainga'anuku?Why is the Boks' scrum so dominant and why do they dominate second halves more than the other sides?Also, NPC quarterfinals time! Can Counties upset Canterbury and who is the dark horse for the title? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Springboks have done it again — back-to-back Rugby Championship titles and another reminder that their game plan is as brutal as it is effective. Argentina gave it everything, but South Africa were just too sharp, too dominant at scrum time. Meanwhile, in a very wet Perth, the All Blacks splished, splashed, and scrapped their way past the Wallabies. It wasn't pretty, but it was enough — a muddy finish to a messy season that still somehow ends on a high? Grab a beer and enjoy. Massive thankyou to this week's sponsor Raleigh Rugby. https://raleighrugby.org/ GO THE VIPERS!!
This week on the KOKO Show the whole gang is finally back together, Drew survived Perth, Goit is tucked away in Canberra and Swoop is done and dusted with his gruelling conference schedule. Plus, the lads are joined this week by the recently retired bow legged bad boy from Scone and one of the greatest Wallabies to ever lace them up, it is of course Mr Nic White. With Whitey in the wings the boys dissect the final round of the RC that saw the mighty Wallabies go down to the AB's for the 11th time on the trot and the brave Boks claim a nail-bitting win over Los Pumas in London to claim their second title in as many years. In summation, this year's RC will go down as one of the most competitive of all time and despite the stylish South Africans prevailing as the winners, all four sides will head into their spring tours buoyed with the knowledge they can beat anyone on their day. With the rugby on home soil all wrapped up for 2025, the lads turned their attention to Nic White's career, giving the little maestro his flowers in celebration of everything he has done for rugby in Australia and they discuss what his plans are for the not too distant future. Finally, we finish the episode having a little look at the Waratahs' big win over the Western Force in the Super Rugby AUS final, we have a deep dive into the world of R360 and to wrap it all up we share our fitness challenge progress as the silly season approaches all thanks to our dear friends at WHOOP.

It's a monster week of rugby with the Prem back and already throwing up drama, the URC kicking off with some big surprises.

This week, the Springboks turned the Pumas into mince, racking up 67 points and leaving rugby fans wondering if Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is secretly a Dan Carter clone grown in a Pretoria lab. Over at Eden Park, the All Blacks and Wallabies treated us to a performance so scrappy it could've been filmed on VHS — but hey, the fortress still stands. And across the world, the Red Roses claimed World Cup glory, fending off a fearless Canadian side.Grab a beer and enjoy

Strap in for a chaotic episode as Phil, Ant, and Rich attempt to analyse the un-analysable. The Springboks' win over Argentina had everything: 97 points, 12 tries, a hattrick, a bizarre drop-goal attempt from your own in-goal, and a coming-of-age masterclass from Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. We break down the madness, the genius, and the sheer lunacy of it all. Plus, we cover the Bledisloe Cup, the URC kick-off (Stormers good, Lions bad!), the Women's World Cup final and why a certain Welsh analyst has got it all wrong about the Boks.

NEW YORK, NY - In this week's episode of The Rugby Odds, host Matt McCarthy is joined by:
From protests erupting in Westbury over an eight-year water crisis to Parliament delaying key testimony in a high-profile police probe, South Africa's domestic tensions are rising. In the US, conservative activist Charlie Kirk is gunned down at a university event, while Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar sparks rare criticism from Donald Trump. Plus, OpenAI's $300bn Oracle deal shakes up tech—and Rassie Erasmus says the Springboks are ready for the All Blacks
The ARP crew breaks down how the All Blacks coaches out-thought the Boks, as they took first blood at Eden Park.James, Bryn and Ross ask whether the All Blacks were masters of the law book or if they used illegal tactics.They analyse how Black Ferns' kicking and defensive tactics have taken their game to the next level before the RWC quarterfinals, look at the Makos' chances of taking the Shield from Canterbury and Australia's newfound resilience against Argentina. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Rain and the ref seem to be common excuses going around the South African water coolers this week, but in all honesty the Boks had only themselves to blame for gifting Ardie Savea a victory in his 100th Test. While the Springbok men failed to create history, the women will write a new chapter as they appear in their first ever RWC quarter final against New Zealand this week, lining up a tasty Kiwi doubleheader for Bok fans. Andy is optimistic this week about Rassie's brow-raising, youthful selections for the second Test, while Phil and Ant are more pragmatic. Perhaps even more gruelling than dissecting a Springbok loss is having to say nice things about the Wallabies for the third episode in a row. Yuck. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.
Australia came from behind to post their second victory of the Rugby Championship in dramatic style, turning down three game-tying penalties against Argentina to score the winning try in the 86th minute, as the All Blacks maintained their Eden Park fortress, downing the Springboks.Christy Doran and Matt To'omua are joined by Matt Taylor from Japan, where he is currently in his fourth year on the coaching staff at Ricoh Black Rams.

An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could've been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby's rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk. Grab a beer and Enjoy.
Can you please stop letting the Springboks get into your head? Cause that is clearly what they're up to. That's why Rassie Erasmus has expressed all surprise at Razor's selections. He wants the team to second guess themselves. Who cares what he thinks? Now, he said, Oh, I'm surprised Fabian Holland's on the bench. It's designed to make Razor and all the lads think they've got this wrong already. And this is why he's called in Fuff de Clark - he doesn't need Fuff de Clark. That means he's got 4 halfbacks. What do you need 4 halfbacks for? He's just trying to remind the All Blacks that he's got 4 more halfbacks than they've got. That's what he's up to. It's just getting inside the head. It's niggling them, and it's working, isn't it? Cause go and have a look at the polls that there are today. The 2 polls on 2 different news websites asking if we think that the All Blacks are gonna win. And both of them have got the All Blacks winning, but jeez, only by just that, it's by a tiny margin. It's only like 53%, 54%, to the Boks winning 46, 47%. Normally, we've got way more confidence. Like, normally, we've got confidence that is a little OTT. But this is Eden Park. This is the fortress. If you're gonna win anywhere, you're gonna win at Eden Park. Where's our confidence? Even the ABs are nervous. If you heard Scottie Hansen, the assistant coach on with us yesterday, he admitted that. Now look, I don't think the All Blacks are gonna lose. I think they're gonna win. Because this game is more important to the All Blacks than it is to the Springboks, because to the Springboks it's just another game. That's all it is, right? But to the All Blacks, it's defending the fortress and defending the fortress when they can see that the country doesn't think that they're gonna be able to, and the ABs thrive on this stuff. Remember when Fozzie was about to get the sack? Mark Robinson from NZR flew over to Joburg to give him the sack. Remember when that was about to happen? Suddenly, the All Blacks just rallied and beat the Springboks to stop him getting the sack because they had something to play for. And the same is true here, they've got something to play for. Plus, as Scotty Hansen said yesterday, the All Blacks seem to play better when they're nervous. It's when people expect them to win, when they expect to win that they weirdly drop the ball. Now, don't forget, we might have been beaten by the Argies, but the Boks were beaten by the Wallabies. So they're not on that much of a streak, are they? Relax. The All Blacks have got it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One of the All Blacks' most anticipated test matches of the year will take place at Eden Park this Saturday, as they go up against the Springboks. It's a rivalry almost as old as the game itself, so today on NZ Sporting History, we wanted to look back on some of the great All Blacks V Springboks moments. Veteran sports journalist and broadcaster Phil Gifford chats to Emile.
The ARP crew breaks down which areas will be key for the All Blacks to end their four-match losing streak against the Springboks.We catch up with Jordie Barrett about his Ireland experience, Damian De Allende and the Boks.There's a full analysis of the Black Ferns progress before their vital pool clash against Ireland.

The All Blacks were a flaming dumpster fire this week, and as loyal fans we are disgusted. Razor's backline looked like they'd just met in the carpark before kickoff, and Argentina gleefully ran riot in front of delirious Buenos Aires fans. Over in South Africa, the Wallabies gave the Boks a proper scare of potentially going back to back… until James O'Connor's boots decided they were made of Play-Doh. Grab a beer and enjoy.

All is not well in Springbok Nation despite squaring the series with the Wallabies, as Brett McKay and Harry Jones delve into another TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, after South Africa accounted for Australia 30-22 at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town. Yes, the ‘Boks got the win, and yes, there was a reaction, but its level of convincingness will vary among the Springbok faithful. A Wallabies side besieged with injuries throughout the wet-weather contest on the Cape has kept South Africa to three tries while posting another three themselves, with the boot of Handre Pollard the main difference. In truth, the result will leave both teams walking away annoyed they didn't convert more opportunities. Oh, and now it's totally OK to sign autographs in the middle of a Post-Mortem recording!

The Lions drew first blood in Brisbane, taking the 1st Test over the Wallabies, but did they leave points (and polish) out on the paddock? The All Blacks notched another win against an understrength French side, but with more dirt-trackers in the mix this time, are we building depth or just delaying the big questions?
