Het Zuid-Afrikaanse topteam Toyota Cheetahs is weer in Amsterdam. De rugbyers hebben voor de derde keer hun thuisbasis voor de EPCR Challenge Cup in het Nederland Rugby Centrum Amsterdam. Het team uit Bloemfontijn is één van de meest iconische teams uit het land van de Springboks. Tijdens deze "Europa League van het rugby" spelen de Cheetahs 'thuisduels' tegen Stade Français en Ulster. We spraken erover met Friso Horstmeier, voorzitter van Rugby Nederland. Presentatie: Robert Denneman Foto: Rugby Shots

Today we welcome a true sporting legend. Bryan Habana is a 100+ cap Springbok, a World Champion and joint highest tryscorer in Rugby World Cup history, a man who races cheetahs. As I'm sure you've noted this is our longest show yet. That is because it's also one of the best. Rugby sits at the heart of it, but the personal stories bring a side to an elite athlete we rarely see. There are moments in this where we were shocked at what happened to Bryan and inspired by how he navigated the demands of his performance while experiencing immense personal turmoil. We sat down and kept the cameras rolling. Please excuse Harry's dishevelled look if you're watching; he just about made it in time out of the pouring rain, having not originally been able to make it, so we give him a pass this time. And for a bit of fun, we have a discussion debating how many global sports icons rugby has had; people that could do what Bryan did and stand alongside Thierry Henry, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods in a Gillette advert. We're not talking legendary rugby players, we're talking global superstars. Comment who you think sits in that category below and we can move the debate of the best answers to our socials. On today's show we discuss: The Making of a World Champion:The discipline and sacrifice required to compete at the top for 15 years.Why Bryan believes greatness is built, not born, and the mindset that allowed him to sustain elite standards.His philosophy on resilience, humility and redefining success beyond tries, trophies and fame.Money, Trust & the Hidden Vulnerability of Athletes:The psychological crash that hits athletes after retirement and why so many feel lost without structure, identity or purpose.The shocking story of how Bryan's trusted advisor mismanaged and spent years of his commercial earnings.The lessons he believes every young professional must learn about protecting their finances and their future.The Springboks Blueprint for Success:Why South Africa has become the most consistently dominant rugby nation in the modern era.The culture, leadership structure, and alignment that underpin the team's identity.Rassie Erasmus's role in transforming the Springboks and why empowerment and clarity are central to their success.The Future of Rugby:Why rugby cannot survive without global calendar alignment, better storytelling and more connection to young fans.How commercial realities, travel demands and private equity influence the sport's next decade.Why Habana believes rugby must modernise fast or risk losing cultural relevance.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: Stryde Bringing sports investment opportunities to your door.

The Ruck has a South African flavour this week as we interview Springboks hybrid hero André Esterhuizen, the centre who can also play back-row. We talk about that innovation, the Boks' fine 2025 and the upcoming Champions Cup clash between his Sharks and Saracens on Saturday.Will, Alex and Elgan delve into the first round of the Champions Cup, which featured some of the same old issues but good wins for Northampton Saints, Bath, Bordeaux-Begles and the Scottish sides. Plus, the boys rattle through the 2027 World Cup draw, and a gouging ban for Eben Etzebeth. We ask how the South Africans can be stopped from winning three tournaments in a row, and whether Rassie Erasmus might throw the Italy game. Hosted on Acast.

The new season of the Investec Champions Cup gets underway this weekend with Munster facing a tough test away to Bath and Leinster hosting Harlequins.Elsewhere, Rassie Erasmus has signed a new long term contract with South Africa which will see him stay on as head coach of the Springboks until the 2031 World Cup.Meanwhile, South African second-row Eben Etzebeth has been hit with a twelve-game ban for eye-gouging against Wales last weekend, but did the punishment fit the crime?Paul Wallace speaks to Matt ahead of the weekend's fixtures.Hit the 'Play' button on this page to hear the chat.

Former Springbok lock Flip van der Merwe has taken the lessons of high‑performance rugby into the boardroom, now working as a strategy consultant for business leaders. Living in Biarritz, France, he is also a co‑founder of the Lekker Network, which connects South Africans wherever they are. In an interview with BizNews, van der Merwe said many South Africans abroad share “a hunger to make South Africa work” and you don't need to be an Elon Musk or Johann Rupert to make a difference. He draws on personal experiences from elite teams to guide leaders, citing role models such as Simon Sinek and Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus, whom he calls ahead of his time. Van der Merwe believes the Springboks are not only building a world‑class team but shaping great people off the field. And when it comes to rugby talent, he says, the Springboks we see winning matches today are only the tip of the iceberg, with even more talent emerging from Craven Week and the under‑21s.

The Trump administration's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas that came into effect in September has raised fears that it has shut the door on South African students who dream of following the path from American university sports scholarships to post-graduation jobs. However, Tyler Hollingsworth from Sable International says that, according to the latest clarifications from US authorities, students who complete their degrees in the US and transition from a student visa to an H-1B are exempt from the new levy. In this interview with BizNews, Hollingsworth says 2025 has been the agency's busiest year yet for placing South African sporting talent. He also tackles the perception that only provincial or Springbok-level players qualify for scholarships and urges students to plan as early as Grade 9 or 10 if they want the best shot at the top universities. And with the Springboks' dominance in rugby, he says European universities are now actively trying to lure young talent with free education – and possibly a future cap for their own national sides.

This week, we welcome World Cup winner - and one of the most feared front-rowers in rugby history - Bismarck du Plessis! Bismarck dives deep into the legendary 2009 Lions Tour and relives the moment of that tackle on Dan Carter (“I'm going to kill that man!”). He gives incredible insight into the Springboks' scrum dominance and the genius of Rassie Erasmus, explaining how Rassie's methods have helped build one of the greatest dynasties in the game. He also reflects on his special bond with his brother Jannie du Plessis, as well as his fiercely competitive nature with his kids: “I don't let them beat me.” 00:00 –

Sean Maloney joins Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast, fresh from the SVNS World Series circuit rolling from Dubai to Cape Town, and ready to wrap up the rugby year for the SANZAAR nations. There's the Springboks' disgusting embarrassment of playing depth riches, there's the All Blacks' surprising and maybe infuriating conservatism, there's the Wallabies sending flowers but then not showing up at the in-laws, and then there's Argentina, who might just be timing their run to the 2027 RWC beautifully. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

Strap in for a bumper episode of Elite Rugby Banter as Ant and Phil break down a truly bizarre and brutal Test match in Dublin.

The Springboks have cemented their place at the top of the world game but who would win between them and the great All Blacks team from 2015?

A very different and very short Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, with Brett McKay giving a quick run through the two biggest games in Harry Jones' convenient Springboks celebration-shaped absence on the ground in Dublin. And it was two intriguing contests for very different reasons. South Africa dominant in their win, but Ireland somehow staying in a contest they maybe had no right to, and Australian left to lament a 15pt loss to France that was only that wide because of what they did to themselves in what was probably still their best performance of the November Tests. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

First there was the "Bomb Squad", now there's the "Pom Squad". The English rugby team has taken inspiration from the Springboks ahead of this weekend's clash against the All Blacks at Twickenham. England has replicated South Africa's infamous tactic of stacking its bench with forwards - a ploy the British media are dubbing as the "Pom Squad". Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Pod is back with Goodey and Jim fresh (and a bit bruised) from the 745 charity game - where Jim “put the fear of God” into a few league legends. The lads break down a huge weekend of international rugby: England's bench-powered surge past Fiji, Scotland's heartbreak against the All Blacks, and the Springboks' masterclass in Paris despite going down to 14 men. There's plenty of chat about Fin Smith v George Ford, and Rassie proving why he's the smartest coach in rugby. The boys also reveal some big travel plans, plus Ireland bounce back against Japan, Italy going back to back against Australia, and Argentina out muscling Wales.

If French rugby is fine wine, the Boks uncorked it, chugged it straight from the bottle, and smashed the glass on the way out. The Springboks have once again marched into Paris like uninvited houseguests, stomping mud across the carpets, smashing the crockery, and pocketing a few heirlooms for good measure. France looked overrated, outmuscled, and utterly unable to dent the Bok defence, while the refereeing circus gave us scrums that made no sense, a red card that raised eyebrows, and yellows that felt more like lottery tickets. Rassie's substitutions were bold, Siya's leadership was immense, and Esterhuizen looked every bit the golden key to unlock this side. Sasha or Manie — who's really the man (hint, it's still Pollard)? Meanwhile, the 9s are bringing the heat, but KLA might not be it. Beyond Paris, the Northern Hemisphere chorus of “we're undercooked” rang out again, conveniently forgetting that the shoe is on the other foot every June. Italy toppled Australia, leaving us wondering if Joe Schmidt's fire has fizzled. Scotland spooked themselves against New Zealand in what quickly became the DMac show. England scraped past Fiji, though the islanders could easily have stolen it, with refereeing once again in the spotlight. Wales, poor Wales, were left licking wounds after Argentina gave them another bruising reminder of reality. And in the background, World Cup qualification permutations rumble on: Namibia struggling, Belgium proving they're more than just chips. It was a weekend of broken narratives, hot takes, and Southern Hemisphere swagger, and we're here to stir the pot with all the banter you can handle. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show

Chris, Ugo and Danny unpick a jam-packed weekend of autumn rugby. The Springboks storm Paris with 14 men for another statement win. Are they the clear World Cup favourites two years out? Scotland fluff their lines yet again, will they ever end their All Blacks hoodoo under Gregor Townsend? England want to make 10 Test wins in a row but have injury concerns to deal with ahead of New Zealand's trip to Twickenham. What did we learn about Steve Tandy's Wales after they were humbled by Argentina? Plus, there was a big win for Italian rugby and more bold predictions for week three.

He asks himself: Did I listen enough? Did I lift someone today? Did I stay true to my values? It's a simple practice, but one that shapes everything about how he leads.This is a rare and special look inside the mind of a top-level head coach. Hosted on Acast.
