On this week's 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme pay tribute to Springbok and Bulls utility back Cornal Hendricks who passed away this week. Hendricks was a much loved character, as full of life as he was fight. A poor upbringing and a potentially life threatening medical condition did not stand in the way of the dreams. Even after his Test days were numbered he continued to play with his infectious, characteristic smile. The episode also delves into the Lions failure at reaching the United Rugby Championship quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The hosts close the show with predictions for the final round of league matches in the URC.
Content creator and general funny man Bouwer Bosch chews the fat on 'To The Last Drop' this week. Bosch who has taken the advertising world by storm with some quirky and often hilarious content explains what it's like working with Springboks outside their natural habitat. He explains the often fine line he has to walk to remain edgy in his content without delivering gratuitous cheap shots. He also reveals which Boks are 'naturals' when it comes to shooting content and who he'd like to work with in future. 'To The Last Drop' hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also look ahead to the return of the URC this weekend with the Sharks and the Bulls facing tough away assignments.
Club rugby steps out of the shadows and into sharp focus on this week's edition of 'To The Last Drop'. The community game has long operated on the periphery but it is slowly reclaiming its place in the game's eco-system. Special guest on the show is former Pirates Rugby Club Chairman and marketing and sponsorship guru Brad Guymer who shares his thoughts on the revitalisation of club rugby and runs the rule over sponsorship bonanza the Springboks recently concluded. Also on the show the Bulls away win over Bayonne is described as one of their most accomplished this season. Show hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel look ahead to the challenge facing Jake White's team against Edinburgh in the quarterfinal of the Challenge Cup this weekend. White will come up against one of his former assistants Sean Everitt in a coaches battle of wills in the Scottish capital this weekend. The show also previews some of the other matches of note in the quarterfinals of the EPCR tournaments this weekend.
The Hollywoodbets Sharks' clash with Leinster in Durban appears to be the plum fixture in this weekend's round of URC action concurred 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme. The Sharks were made to sweat for victory last weekend against lowly Zebre Parma and our hosts agree Leinster will provide them with an even stiffer challenge this weekend. Also, on this episode director of rugby Jake White expresses his wish list for the Bulls talent pool while Lions scrum coach Julian Redelinghuys weighs up his team's prospects against Glasgow Warriors this weekend. The hosts also sink their teeth into why Jacques Nienaber has become an easy target in Ireland as well as this weekend's fixtures in the URC.
The Stormers' scrum will come under intense scrutiny when they clash with the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday, agreed 'To The Last Drop' hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel. The last time the teams met the Stormers back pedalled in that facet and a repeat of that kind of retreat will almost surely put paid to their chances of advancing up the points table this weekend. The Stormers are in 10th spot on the URC log and apart from a win that will sustain their challenge for a place in the top eight, victory for the visitors will be a boost to morale. The Lions find themselves in similar territory and though they are at home to the Sharks they will start underdogs. They Sharks are adept at winning at altitude and they may bring some of the Springboks along for the ride.
The Lions cannot be underestimated Vodacom Bulls' director of rugby Jake White argued ahead of Saturday's Jukskei derby at Loftus Versfeld. White is wary of the Lions after their win over the Stormers but the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' argue the home team will be better suited to the expected inclement weather on Saturday. They reminded the Lions could leapfrog the Stormers on the points table with a win on Saturday, while stressing the Bulls need to back up their forward grunt with better game management. Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also look at the mouthwatering fixtures awaiting fans when the Springboks go north of the equator in November.
Bulls coach Jake White is keeping his options open and will consider Willie le Roux at flyhalf for Saturday's United Rugby Championship clash against the Stormers in Cape Town. White sang Le Roux's praises on 'To The Last Drop', highlighting the Bok fullback's match-winning performance against the Lions at Ellis Park. White said he knows what the player offers the Bulls and that they need him to go into 'that position'. Stormers director of rugby John Dobson told Brenden and Liam it is difficult to plan not knowing where Le Roux will be deployed on Saturday. White was clear the Bulls are every bit as desperate as the Stormers for a positive result and is relishing the chance to unleash his troops in front of a crowd in excess of 40 000. Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme also look ahead to this weekend's matches in the Six Nations, predicting wins for France, Italy and Ireland respectively.
The Stormers and the Lions are in real danger of not reaching the knock-out rounds of the United Rugby Championship. 'To The Last Drop' hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel take a deep dive on their prospects in their remaining league matches, with a particular focus on their upcoming derby matches on the highveld. The Stormers need to win their derby matches and go on an unbeaten home run in their last four matches in Cape Town to have a sniff. The prospects for the Lions are a little bleaker. Our hosts also preview the Six Nations competition that kicks off this weekend.
‘To the Last Drop' is back for 2025! Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme kick off the year by breaking down South Africa's early Champions Cup exit and looking ahead to an action-packed weekend in the URC. The spotlight is on the Jukskei Derby, where the Lions and Bulls are set to clash at Ellis Park. Helping us preview the big game is Lions front-row giant Asenathi Ntlabakanye, who shares his rugby journey, what drives him to succeed, and a surprising “what-if” about where he could have ended up instead of on the field. And of course, Brenden and Liam drop their predictions for this weekend's URC battles. Tune in for insight, banter, and plenty of rugby talk to kick off the year!
On the last edition of To The Last Drop for the year podcast hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme reach into their Christmas stockings, and reveal their wishlist for South African rugby for the New Year. They reflect on a momentous year for Springbok rugby and lament some of the shortcomings still afflicting the domestic game, especially in the Champions Cup. They also look forward to some of the mouthwatering fixtures awaiting rugby fans next year, especially in Australia and New Zealand.
Apart from the resumption of long tours from the All Blacks, South African rugby fans can also look forward to the NZ Māori visiting these shores in the not-too-distant future. South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander explained a multi-layered approach in the strengthening of their bond with New Zealand Rugby which includes visits from the Māori and the Silver Ferns. On the 'To The Last Drop' podcast Alexander also reiterated the need to broker a global season, a long-held ambition that he will help drive as a World Rugby council member. He also assured podcast hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel that there is life in Springbok rugby after Rassie Erasmus.
They were at opposite ends of a bitter spat during the British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 2021 but Rassie Erasmus and Warren Gatland have since cleared the air. Erasmus and Gatland will again pit their coaching wits against each other when the Boks take on Wales at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday. There appears to be no hangover from the Lions' series and Erasmus in fact, on this week's episode of 'To the Last Drop' comes out to bat for the beleaguered Gatland who has seen his Wales team suffer 11 straight defeats. It is Wales' longest losing streak. Erasmus though insists Gatland cannot become a bad coach overnight. Also on the show, new Bok, Cameron Hanekom explains he did not take overtures to play for Wales seriously. Plus, hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme look ahead to South Africa's last Test of the year in full expectation of a Bok win.
Vincent Tshituka still wants to play for the Springboks but the Sharks flank that it will be tough. He points to the long conveyor belt of outstanding loose forwards in South Africa as a potential obstacle but is keeping the faith. Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel note scrumhalf Faf de Klerk's absence from the Bok squad to tour the United Kingdom, but they agree it is a very powerful 34-man squad. They are also in agreement the Bulls were unfortunate to cop another red card in the URC and that the Pretoria side may find the going tough this weekend in the URC.
Rugby, as vehicle for delivering a spectacle, is on as smooth a path as it has ever been professor Ross Tucker tells this week's edition of To The Last Drop. The renowned sports scientist who sits on a World Rugby committee tasked with player well-being, especially in relation to concussion, says players are now less likely to suffer catastrophic injury than ever before. This, he believes, has not come at the expense of the product despite the fact that the sport is played at breakneck speed. Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also stare into the crystal ball and predict URC wins this weekend for three of South Africa's URC franchises. They are divided on the fourth.
South Africa's all conquering teams in last weekend's matches in the United Rugby Championship face a far more daunting challenge this weekend when all go into combat away from home. Still, To The Last Drop hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme argue all four have a realistic chance of coming away with victory in their clashes in the United Kingdom and Italy. Also on the show, Lions No8 Francke Horn explains why his team will this weekend go into their clash against the Dragons brimming confidence.
As much as Springbok rugby is in rude health, the All Blacks find themselves under searching examination following three defeats in their first four Rugby Championship clashes this year. 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme argue the All Blacks aren't far off the pace but that the wins column will ultimately determine the fate of their head coach Scott Robertson. The All Blacks coach faced some awkward questions after his team's defeat in Cape Town last Saturday.
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi is vowing not to give the All Blacks a head start again tonight in Cape Town. The hosts rallied from 10 points down to beat the tourists last week at Ellis Park. Kolisi has issued a warning to the All Blacks that they won't be given that treatment again. South African Rugby Journalist Brenden Nel joined Adam Cooper to preview the clash.

The All Blacks headed to Johannesburg, bruised, battered & with a coach unsure of whether he will have a job by this time next week. But the performance shown at Ellis Park yesterday was the polar opposite to what we have become accustomed to over recent months.

Brendon Nel is a South African rugby journalist, and he gives us his take on the situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
