Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by Springbok legend and one of the greatest fly-halves in rugby history, Naas Botha, for #RugbyHive Episode 37.Botha won 28 Test caps for the Springboks between 1980 and 1992, scoring 312 points — a South African record that stood for over a decade. His tally was passed by Percy Montgomery in his 50th match, while Botha had only played in 28. Botha's weapon of choice was the drop goal: 18 in Test rugby, and a record 273 in domestic rugby. He scored a record 2,511 points for Northern Transvaal (now Blue Bulls) during his career between 1977 and 1995. He captained his province on a record 128 occasions and secured nine Currie Cup titles.In this episode, we go right back to the beginning — Naas's upbringing in Brits and where his obsession with the boot truly started. We explore the extraordinary story of his Dallas Cowboys trial, and the fascinating chapter of his life where he went on to win the 1984 USA Rugby National Club Championship with the Dallas Harlequins. We also dive into his time playing for Rugby Rovigo Delta in Italy and Northern Transvaal in South Africa at the same time! We hear about his 30-year broadcasting career at SuperSport, and the potential next chapter in his broadcasting career, taking rugby to a new audience in America, having recently moved to Kansas. To date, Botha holds the record as the the longest on-air talent career in the history of SuperSport, testimony to his enduring abilities. We also delve into some of his favorite Springbok team mates, plus the best scrum-halves and fly-halves he has seen.We hope you enjoy this episode which provides a rare and deeply personal look at one of South African rugby's most iconic figures — a man who broke records, crossed codes, and shaped a sport across five remarkable decades.The Rugby Hive Podcast is brought to you by Tsunami Sport, Gilbert Rugby Canada, Rugby Coffee, Biltong Canada, the Broadcast Academy and MacDowell Rugby. Pick up your sensational merchandise from our online store

Die Springbok-vroue sewesspan het gekwalifiseer vir die drie toernooie in Hong Kong, Valladolid en Bordeaux, wat deel uitmaak van die Sewes-Wêreldkampioenskapsreeks die einde van jaar. Suid-Afrika het die naweek derde geëindig in Montevideo in Uruguay, en drie van hul vyf wedstryde gewen. Argentinië, Duitsland en die VSA het ook vir die kampioenskap gekwalifiseer. Bok-vroue afrigter Cecil Afrika sê hy is tevrede met die algehele prestasie van sy span:

For years, Rachel Kolisi stood at the centre of one of South Africa’s most powerful sporting stories. As the wife of Siya Kolisi, the captain who led the South Africa national rugby union team to global glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup and again at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, she became what many called the “First Lady of South African rugby.” But Rachel Kolisi was never just standing on the sidelines. Through charity work, public advocacy and the work of the Kolisi Foundation, she became a voice in her own right, visible, outspoken and deeply involved in the social impact work surrounding the Springbok story. Then, last year, the story that had captured the imagination of a nation shifted. The end of one of the most high-profile relationships in South African sport sent shockwaves through fans who had followed their journey for years. Now, Rachel Kolisi is telling her side of the story. In her memoir, Falling Forward, she opens up about life inside that global spotlight, the pressure, the expectations, the personal cost of living a life watched by millions, and the strength it takes to rebuild when everything changes. This isn’t just the story of a rugby family the world admired. It’s the story of a woman stepping forward, on her own terms, after the world thought it already knew the ending.

Afrigter Cecil Afrika het die beproefde kern van die Springbok-vrouespelers behou vir die naweek se Sewes-Twee-toernooi in Kenia. Tien van die spelers was in die groep wat verlede maand die Sewes-Drie-toernooi in Dubai gewen het, wat hulle na die volgende kwalifiserende fase laat vorder het. Die blitsvinnige Shannon-Lee Windvogel kan haar debuut in Nairobi maak in die plek van die beseerde Vianca Boer, terwyl Lerato Makua oorneem by Zintle Mpupha, wat diens doen by die Bulle se Daisies. Die ervare Nadine Roos sal die groep lei.

Springbok-slot Franco Mostert en sy vrou, Juan-Ri, het hulle 10de huweliksherdenking gevier deur 'n tweede huwelikseremonie te hou waar hulle kinders ook teenwoordig kon wees. Martin Bester het die paartjie gelukgewens en meer gesels oor die spesiale dag.

'n Groot feestelike skare het Donderdag saam met die Springbok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus 'n Kersoggend-staptog langs die Blouberg-kus aangepak en 'n informele idee in 'n gemeenskapstradisie omskep wat al hoe gewilder word. Die ses-kilometer lange kusuitstappie, wat om sesuur die oggend buite 'n strandrestaurant in Bloubergstrand begin het, het honderde plaaslike inwoners en ondersteuners gelok. Erasmus het die volgende oor die geleentheid te sê gehad:

Chris, Tom and GRO bring you immediate reaction to the draw for the 2027 World Cup. England and Wales meet in Pool F while we can look forward to another instalment of the 'Tom English derby' as Scotland and Ireland were drawn together for the third World Cup in a row! But which team is the bigger winner from the draw down under? If South Africa are to deliver the three-peat they will have to do it the hard way - but would another Springbok win actually be good for the game? Tom gets all misty-eyed about French players we've never heard of as we imagine just how special a French World Cup win would be.

Die Springbokke het Wallis in Cardiff die ergste nederlaag ooit toegedien met 'n 73-0 oorwinning. Die Bokke het 11 drieë aangeteken om hul November-toer perfek af te sluit. Die telkaart is aan die einde van die wedstryd egter ontsier deur 'n permanente rooi kaart vir Eben Etzebeth, die Springbok met die meeste wedstryde ooit. Hy het in 'n onderonsie met Alex Mann sy vinger in Mann se oog gedruk, wat duidelik op video te sien was. Die eensydige vertoning deur die Springbokke het Wallis se nagmerrie op toetsvlak voortgesit en Suid-Afrika se status as die beste toetsspan ter wêreld herbevestig. Springbok-kaptein Siya Kolisi het die oorwinning 'n sterk afsluiting van die 2025-seisoen beskryf:

Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê as hy ʼn volledige groep gehad het, sou hy nie ʼn verdeling van 7-1 op die bank gekies het vir môre se kragmeting met Wallis nie. Albei spanne moet sonder eerstekeuse-spelers klaarkom omdat die wedstryd buite die toetsgleuf val. Die skrumskakel Cobus Reinach, wat die enigste agterspeler op die bank is, kan moontlik die 50ste keer vir die nasionale span uitdraf. Erasmus sê hulle het maar ʼn dobbelsteen gegooi omdat hulle net 24 spelers het:

In this episode, the Barbell Shrugged crew explores how next-generation MRI muscle analysis is transforming the way high-performing athletes train, recover, and prevent injury. Dr. Doug Goldstein walks Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash through Doug Larson's full Springbok Analytics scan a 3D "digital twin" of his musculoskeletal system that reveals muscle volume, asymmetries, and tissue quality with a level of precision traditional assessments can't match. The team breaks down how this data gives coaches a clearer understanding of the body's true strengths, weak links, and compensation patterns the foundational context needed to prescribe smarter, more targeted programming. Using Doug's real data as the case study, the group highlights how seemingly isolated issues like a long-healed posterior hip dislocation can create downstream patterns that affect performance years later. The scan reveals major asymmetries in deep hip stabilizers, psoas imbalances, and elevated intramuscular fat in specific muscles, all of which influence how force is produced and absorbed under load. The conversation emphasizes that measuring muscle quality and not just quantity is essential for identifying tissues that underperform despite looking normal from the outside. They also break down the different types of fat Springbok identifies (visceral, subcutaneous, intermuscular, intramuscular) and why certain compartments are more predictive of movement limitations, metabolic dysfunction, or elevated injury risk. The episode closes with a look at how this new level of precision plugs into a fully integrated high-performance system. Through Optima Muscle, athletes combine Springbok MRI data with movement evaluations, strength testing, and force analysis to build individualized protocols that increase strength, improve resilience, and significantly reduce the risk of non-contact injuries. The team explains why pro athletes are beginning to adopt multi-scan protocols across a season, and how this data-driven approach allows coaches to design programming that targets exactly the right tissues, at exactly the right time. For anyone serious about longevity in training, staying explosive, or eliminating preventable injuries, this episode offers a glimpse into the future of performance diagnostics and precision training.

After one of the spiciest weekends in rugby, Payno and Tins are joined by Springbok legend Bob Skinstad and Ireland's Geordan Murphy to break down the chaotic Ireland v South Africa card fest and the drama in the Twickenham tunnel. They dig into Rassie's thumbs-up celebration and debate this big question: Are the Springboks rugby's ultimate pantomime villain? 00:00 

In this episode, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash sit down with Matt Brown, Director of Business Development at Springbok Analytics, to explore the cutting edge world of MRI based muscle analysis. Matt breaks down the origins of Springbok, how the company grew from a university research lab solving cerebral palsy surgical problems into one of the most advanced muscle segmentation platforms on the planet, and why professional sports teams, medical researchers, and longevity practitioners are all adopting this technology. From 15 minute full body protocols to AI driven segmentation of 144 muscles, Springbok is redefining what is possible in muscle profiling and objective performance measurement. The conversation dives into real world application, how Springbok helps pro athletes understand tissue quality, fat infiltration, tendon health, asymmetries, compensations, and injury risk with unprecedented precision. Matt shares examples across the NBA, NFL, soccer, and clinical research showing how MRI data is being used to shorten rehab timelines, guide targeted strength work, map scar tissue, and track atrophy after major injuries like ACL tears. The group contrasts traditional tools like DEXA with what is now possible using MRI, individualized baselines, normative values by sport and position, and 3D interactive models that reveal exactly where muscle is strong, weak, or compromised. Finally, the team covers the massive opportunity in longevity and consumer health. They discuss how muscle quality predicts aging trajectories, why fat infiltration accelerates decline, and how Springbok's new FDA cleared body composition capabilities unlock deeper insights into visceral fat, liver fat, bone density, and long term risk. Doug outlines how Rapid Health Optimization is partnering with Springbok through Optima Muscle to bring these pro level analytics to everyday people, combining MRI data with elite coaching, physical therapy, and strength programming to create personalized, actionable plans that maximize performance and minimize injury. This episode is a powerful preview of where the future of muscle health, performance diagnostics, and longevity is headed.

This episode originally went live a little over a year ago and it's one that could make the difference between an animal recovered and a hunt you'll relive for years and wonder what you could have done differently.  As hunters, we do our best to make a clean kill, but if you spend enough time chasing critters in the mountains and backcountry, it's inevitable that one day you'll end up with a tracking scenario that tests every bit of fieldcraft you've earned. Enter blood tracking dogs.  Maybe you skipped this episode in the past.

Although it's prime time elk season for many of you, we know the muley fanatics have been getting after it as well.    If you haven't shifted focus to big mule deer bucks yet, that point in the season is fast approaching, and with that in mind, we're reposting a great discussion with a very successful BC-based mule deer hunter from roughly two years back.  If you haven't listened to this one, it' definitely worth it, and even if you did, it's probably worth listening to again as Jordan's tips, strategies and insights are timeless.  @bcbackcountry   ---------------------------  DEALS & PARTNERS:  For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

Mike Drury was originally on the show roughly 18 months ago, shortly after he founded Alpine Riflecraft and began building the kind of rifles he wanted to take into the mountains but couldn't find in any of the production models currently available.  Starting at just 4.5 pounds, these rifles are truly a mountain hunter's dream. They combine excellent balance and ergonomics in a package that seamlessly blends both modern and traditional features. If Jack O'Connor were to take a rifle into the mountains in 2025, he'd probably be carrying a Zenith.  Since his original appearance on BTK, he's expanded the available calibers, navigated cross border sales and shipping, and has numerous field reports from successful customers. There is no question that if you're a serious mountain hunter, these rifles should be on your radar.  NOTABLE QUOTES:  “Once you pick it up, you'll know.”  @alpineriflecraft  ---------------------------  DEALS & PARTNERS:  For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.

Dylan is a lifelong hunter and has been with onX for 10 years. He has seen the evolution of mapping and hunting software evolve from cards that had to be plugged into a handheld GPS device to the full featured apps we all know and use on our smart phones today.   To say things have changed would be an understatement.  On this episode, Dylan covers some of the new features within the onX platform and, just as importantly, how he and the team at onX approach the introduction of new features and technologies and how that's balanced against maintaining the soul and purity of the hunt itself.   NOTABLE QUOTES:   “There's probably some trackable public data somewhere of an elk herd migration that we could put into onX, but we're not going to. That's an example of just because you can do it doesn't mean you should, and we have actively had that conversation year in and year out.”  @onxhunt  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.

Trail Kreitzer is one of those guys in the community that's absolutely worth listening to.   No posturing, no fluff, no hyperbole. Just measured, field-based experience and advice from years and years of Western big game hunting. As a consistently successful bowhunter season after season, he's the embodiment of commitment to his craft.  On this episode, Trail shares his thoughts on the intricacies of modern archery equipment, finding reliable sources of information online, understanding where and what you should put your time and energy into in terms of hunting prep, how he approaches gear selection and gear development, and the importance of being adaptable with your hunting techniques.  NOTABLE QUOTES:   “I don't think that you need to be a world-class elk caller to call in and kill elk. I think it's way more important to understand elk behavior.”  @trailk11   ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  onX Hunt is the most powerful 3D mapping solution for hunters.
