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.

In this week's Rugby Pod, the lads wrap up the Quilter Nations Series before diving head-first into the return of domestic rugby, with big Premiership and URC results to get stuck into. We're also welcoming Springbok legend Gurthrö Steenkamp for an unbelievable deep-dive into scrum culture, Rassie's revolution, and life in France. We check in on Bath's statement win at the StoneX to Exeter's comeback in Sale, plus a massive round in the URC as the Stormers storm Thomond and Scarlets stun Glasgow. The Rugby F.C. documentary has blown up on YouTube, fans are asking how to help Rugby Lions FC, and we're back on the road with a London live show this Wednesday ahead of the Champions Cup kicking off exclusively on Premier Sports. Add in some transfer news, a few reds in France, and all the Good, Bad & Ugly, and some shoutouts, and it's another stacked episode of the world's most listened-to rugby podcast.

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 captain Siya Kolisi says Wales will get a well prepared South African side when the two sides meet in Cardiff on Saturday in the final match of the international season. The Springboks are shooting for a second successive unbeaten end of year tour, and enter their final match of the year as the overwhelming favourites against Wales. Meanwhile in continental soccer....Mamelodi Sundowns earned a valuable Champions League away point after they played to a goalless draw with Algerian side MC Alger at the Ali La Pointe Stadium LAST NIGHT. While Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso appears happy with the result, this is not what Rulani Mokwena was looking for as Alger are struggling with one point from two matches. Sundowns may be overtaken at the top of Group C by Al Hilal who take on Saint-Éloi Lupopo tomorrow. Chiefs will TODAY host Egyptian side Zamalek FC in the second game of the Group D encounter at Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane this afternoon. To look at these matches, Jon Gericke spoke to Mathews Mpete, SABC soccer analyst

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:

Lauren Salter previews Wales' final Autumn International against South Africa, with Jonathan Davies, Alex Cuthbert and former Springbok, Thinus Delport

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 

Alan Quinlan chats to Stuart McAvoy after Ireland's defeat against the back-to-back World Champions South Africa. The former Ireland and Munster back-row gives his thoughts on the visitor's dominance at scrum-time as well as Ireland's ill-discipline, Quinlan also believes this is the best Springbok time he has ever seen. It has been a tricky Autumn for Ireland and Quinlan gives his opinion on what improvements are needed before the start of the Six Nations next year. Hosted on Acast.

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.

Swys de Bruin, head coach of the Springbok women's rugby team, guided his team to a historic quarterfinal at the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup in England. In an interview with Biznews, the former Lions and Springboks coach said the strength of the team lies in their diversity. He highlighted the growing professionalism within the women's team and outlined ambitious plans for the future, including a professional six-team domestic league and an increase in international matches. De Bruin said the men could learn from the women's attitude, as “they never moan” and he said he could write a book about how tough women are. Committed to the stay until the next World Cup, De Bruin believes the team has firmly established itself with the elite and is now "barking with the big dogs."

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. Maybe you're headed out on a hunt and needed a reminder about the resources available for a scenario no hunter wants to deal with...an animal you're struggling to recover. Either way, this is a really interesting episode with a deeply passionate dog owner that might just come in handy this fall.

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.

Die All Blacks moes hard teen die Springbokke veg om 'n 24-17 oorwinning op Eden Park in Auckland te behaal, in hul eerste 2025 Rugbykampioenskapswedstryd. Die All Blacks is nou vir 51 wedstryde onoorwonne op die Eden Park stadion. Nieu-Seeland het in die eerste helfte oorheers met drieë deur Emoni Narawa en Will Jordan, en het rustyd met 14-3 voorgeloop. Die Springbokke het teruggeveg en twee drieë gedruk, maar die All Blacks se vroeë voorsprong was net te veel. Die Bokke het tot dusver een wedstryd gewen en twee in die kompetise verloor en is onder aan die punteleer. Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus het ná die wedstryd met die media gepraat:

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.

A consistently successful hunter is almost always a very committed hunter. Being and staying committed solo or with your core hunting partners is one thing. Doing that with two very young kids in tow is a whole other matter.    On this episode, “Big Joe” shares the story of the truly monstrous bear his wife took this past spring bear season and how through dedication, commitment, planning, and a little luck, they managed to make it happen with the whole family along for the adventure.   NOTABLE QUOTES:  “I had the cape, the skull, and the meat with me when I took it into the butcher and all of that was 440 pounds. But that's field dressed, so imagine what the bear would have weighed on the hoof.”   @joe_eppele   ---------------------------  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.

There is no shortage of options in the digital watch world today.  From watches loaded with more technological features than most people could ever hope to use to models and brands with basic weather and navigational capabilities included, there's a digital option to suit most budgets.  But where do we draw the line on tech reliance in the field? Especially when our phones and satellite messaging devices can already do so much? Enter traditional tool watches.   Simple. Practical. Rugged. Dependable. Do we really need more from our timepieces?   There seems to be more and more interest in classic or traditional watches today, but a lot of that content focuses on fairly high-end brands that many of you will recognize and maybe can't afford.    But for 80+ years, a Canadian company, leveraging Swiss manufacturing has been quietly but confidently building watches for the most demanding and extreme use cases and customers. And they come at a price that most people can manage, especially when compared to the cost of a lot of the other hunting/outdoor gear we spend our money on.   Marathon Watch has an incredible history and legacy within the watch community and, if you've never heard of them before, we hope this episode exposes you to a brand that should be a household name within our community too.    NOTABLE QUOTES:  “One of our customers was deployed in the Middle East when his convoy was caught in an IED. He lost his arm, but the watch survived.”  @marathonwatch   ---------------------------  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 Maps is now available in Canada!

There are few people in this business more honest and respected than John Barklow.    From his ongoing efforts to educate hunters and mountain athletes on modern fieldcraft and survival skills, gear and techniques, to his decade long tenure with Sitka, John is leaving a mark on this community that will be felt for a very long time.   This conversation covers John's opinions on what fieldcraft means in the context of all the gear, tools and technologies now available and then moves into the launch of Sitka's single most ambitious lineup to date, including full details on many of the new products and key product updates.   NOTABLE QUOTES:   “Fall 25, which for us starts on the seventh of July, is the single biggest season we've ever had at Sitka, as far as number of new products and updates to some of our heavy hitters.”   @jbarklow  @sitkagear   ---------------------------  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 Maps is now available in Canada!
