‘You only need to win a game by one point.' – Jacques Nienaber after South Africa's tournament opener against Scotland in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Little did the coach know that it would take three one-point games to propel the Springboks into the history books as four-time winners of the Webb Ellis Cup. In 2017 the Boks looked punch-drunk as Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus watched them being overpowered by Ireland. The following year, the coaching duo took up the reins little more than 18 months before the 2019 RWC in Japan. And so began a journey that was to end in victory in the Stade de France six years later. Twice the Glory goes deep inside the Bok story of that historic era. Filled with drama, cheers and tears, it will have you on the edge of your seat as you relive each nail-biting moment. It's all here: the Covid disruption, Siya Kolisi's rise to the captaincy, Rassie in hot water over that video, injury blows and the emergence of new talent as they head off to France. The book also includes penetrating analysis and insights from the self-effacing Nienaber into how this team became the finest the world has seen. A recurring theme is the friendship between Jacques and Rassie that goes all the way back to their university days, and why they decided to come home to South Africa to ‘turn things around'. In this episode of pagecast, Sports Broadcaster Cato Louw sits down with authors Lloyd Burnard and Khanyiso Tshwaku.
Lawrence sits down for a one-to-one chat with former England captain, Martin Johnson, as they mark the 20th anniversary of lifting the Webb Ellis Cup in Australia. Taking the chance to reminisce, Lol and Johnno recall the why the game that made them most nervous was actually in the pool stages of the tournament, how they convinced Sir Clive Woodward to change the training programme mid-way through the campaign and what winning the World Cup has meant to them on a personal level. And as former Head Coach of England, Johnno also shares his views on what the current team need to do to progress their achievements at the RWC2023, as the pair also examine whether their own historic win should have left a better legacy for the game. Plus, there are stories about Lawrence and Johnno's first time on tour as room mates, life in the England camp in 2003 and their most treasured memories from their rugby careers.

We hebben zaterdagavond kunnen genieten van een fantastische finale van het WK Rugby. Zowel Zuid-Afrika als Nieuw-Zeeland konden bij winst recordkampioen worden. Na een bloedstollende finale werden het uiteindelijk de Springboks die de Webb Ellis Cup voor vierde keer omhoog mochten houden. We blikten terug met voormalig toprugbyer Tim Visser.

The Springboks retained the Webb Ellis Cup after a thrilling 12-11 win over the All Blacks in the final at the Stade de France in Paris LAST NIGHT. This means back-to-back wins for South Africa, who triumphed over England in the 2019 final in Japan. And with four tournament wins to their name, the Springboks are now outright the most successful team in Rugby World Cup history - a title they previously shared with New Zealand.Joining me on the line is SABC Sports anchor Simon Burke in Paris and SAfm Sports anchor Janet Whitton in JHB as well as Sports fans Kabelo and Moumakwe POSSIBLE QUESTIONS: Simon
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes that Liverpool are now considered their biggest rivals, ahead of their trip to Old Trafford for the first Manchester derby of the season. The former Chelsea defender Scott Minto has urged fans to be patient with Mauricio Pochettino following their 2-0 home defeat to Brentford, and Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom says he's not worried about his position as manager after losing 5-0 at Arsenal. The former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes Eddie Nketiah isn't the answer for Arsenal despite his hat-trick, and claimed he could play in Sheffield United's side this season. We also get the reaction to Tyson Fury's split decision victory over Francis Ngannou, and we round up all the action from the Rugby World Cup final, as South Africa retain their crown to win the Webb Ellis Cup for a record fourth time.

The All Blacks are just one win away from sporting immortality. After being largely written off after the opening defeat to France, all that stands in the way of them and the Webb Ellis Cup is the Springboks with their bomb squad bench. Both teams are on three titles, and are vying to stand above the other with a fourth win. But the game could be overshadowed by World Rugby's new tournament. World Rugby has announced a 12-team Nations League from 2026, with promotion and relegation in 2030. The 2027 tournament will also be expanded to 24 teams. But less than 12 hours prior to kick off, the Black Caps will be in action in India. They take on Australia in Dharamshala as they look to move on from last weekend's loss to India.

Let me tell you why the All Blacks will hold the World Cup aloft tomorrow morning. Plainly no-one can accurately predict the outcome of two evenly matched teams with such a deep and passionate history. But the men in black have the edge. The Springboks look gassed. They were hammered last week by England in a brutal game of 10-man rugby. Relentless trench warfare only paused with the obligatory punt from the first five has left the Boks battered. They have countered the debris of that pack whopping with a 7-1 split on the bench for tomorrows encounter, hoping they can roll in a second wave of goliaths to supress the AB forwards. This selection of course leaves them vulnerable in the back division, should one of their bigger numbers slump, help is thin on the ground to say the least. If it's halfback du Klerk early enough, South Africa will wilt. The trick for the All Blacks is threefold. Speed. Run the Bokke ragged. To engage these monsters in hand-to-hand combat is to play to their strength. With the ability to attack with great pace at furious angles at the sniff of a turnover, the AB side possess the ability to shred the cumbersome livestock of the SA pack. This they need to do from the outset. Out of the blocks like Usain Bolt. Accuracy. Precision in passing. Meticulous breakdown entry. Exactitude from the boot. Concise line out throwing. The ever-present menace of discipline shadows every breakdown, evocation of this demon would haunt whichever team dares to summon such a wanton spectre. Scott Barrett, I'm looking at you. The All Blacks are rested, have continuity of selection and entire rugby world to stick it too after reports of their demise echoed across the globe, reports which I believe have been grossly exaggerated. ABs 13 plus. That'll do. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the latest episode of the No Limitations podcast The Man in the Arena, Blenheim Partners' Gregory Robinson speaks with Philip Kearns AM, Chief Executive Officer of AVJennings Ltd. Phil is a former Captain of the Australian Wallabies and was part of Australia's successful campaigns that secured the Webb Ellis Cup in 1991 and 1999. He was recently appointed as a Director of the Board of the Local Operating Company for the next Rugby World Cup to be held in Australia. We are taken on a journey through the lens of an elite athlete and Chief Executive Officer as we examine the principles of leadership and the art of winning. We commence with the magic of the World Cup, the behind-the-scenes preparation, sacrifice, motivation and important rituals of the event. From the pitch to the Boardroom, we consider the foundations for success, the essence of confidence and the need to make every minute count. We also learn of the Balmoral Burn's good karma and a certain special twenty cent coin. Phil represented Australia in rugby union, having played 67 Tests after his debut in 1989. He was appointed Captain in 1992, leading Australia in 10 Tests and also played in the Rest of the World side against the All Blacks for the New Zealand Rugby Centenary celebrations. Prior to his current role, he was Managing Director of InterRisk Australia and Chief Executive Officer of Centric Wealth following an earlier career with Investec.

Well, the race for the Webb Ellis Cup got a little tighter over the weekend. A very animated ROG joined Ian on the line this morning to give his feedback on England's loss against South Africa in the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup. He could barely hide his glee...
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yovsbd3d Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Could it happen? An bhféadfadh sé tarlú? The bad luck. An mí-ádh mór. There is a song, I think by the well-known musician from Connemara, John Beag Ó Flatharta, in which verses end with the line: 'I don't know which way the bad luck will come from'. Tá amhrán,sílim leis an gceoltóir aitheanta ó Chonamara,John Beag Ó Flatharta ina gcríochnaítear véarsaí leis an líne: 'Ní fios cén tslí as a dtiocfaidh an mí-ádh mór'. Andy Farrell will be hoping that is not the case for his team tonight. Beidh Andy Farrell ag súil nach fearacht sin scéil é dá fhoireann anocht. It's another big and decisive night for Ireland in the 2023 Rugby World Cup competition. Oíche mhór chinniúnach eile atá ann go Éirinn i gcomórtas Chorn Rugbaí an Domhain 2023. We thought that there would only be one occasion to read in Pool B, the one two weeks ago in which the players sent this coach from Wigan, Manchester, South Africa to God's back. Cheap muid nach mbeadh ann ach ocáid amháin dá léithid i bPúl B, an ceann coicís ó shin inar chuir imreoirí an chóitseálaí seo as Wigan,Manchain, An Afraic Theas ar éigin Dé de dhroim seoil. But look how it is, there is no relief for the Irish despite having 3 games and 2 bonus points hanging with them since the 10th series of the Webb Ellis Cup started more than a month ago now. Ach féach mar atá, níl aon fhaoiseamh le fáil ag na hÉireannaigh ainneoin 3 chluiche agus 2 phointe bónais a bheith crochta leo acu ó cuireadh tús leis an 10ú sraith de Chorn Webb Ellis breis is mí ó shin anois. That's because South Africa have won 3 games, are currently on 15 league points and top of this group, the Group of Death. Sin toisc go bhfuil 3 chluiche buaite ag an Afraic Theas, iad ar 15 pointe sraithe faoi láthair agus ar bharr an ghrúpa seo,Grúpa an bháis. But South Africa have now played all their games in the group, they are one point ahead of Ireland and 5 ahead of Scotland. Ach tá a gcuid cluichí ar fad sa ghrúpa imeartha anois ag An Afraic Theas, iad pointe chun cinn ar Éirinn agus 5 cinn chun tosaigh ar Albain. If Scotland beat the Irish team tonight by more than 7 points, and if Ireland does not manage to get a bonus point, then believe it or not we will be leaving the competition despite our status among the rugby nations of the world. Má bhuaileann Albain foireann na hÉireann anocht le níos mó ná 7 bpointe, agus mura n-éiríonn le hÉirinn pointe bónais a ghnóthú,bhuel creid é nó ná creid beidh muide ag fágáil slán leis an gcomórtas ainneoin ár stádas i measc thíortha rugbaí an domhain. If Scotland beats us with 21 points, but the green team scores 4 and secures a bonus point, then you have the almost unbelievable story: Scotland qualifying in first place from the group, Ireland in second place and South Africa packing their their bags home to Cape Town. Má bhuaileann Albain muid le 21 pointe, ach an fhoireann ghlas ag scóráil 4 úd ag cinntiú pointe bónais, ansin tá an scéal dochreidte nach mór agat:Albain ag cáiliú sa chéad áit ón ghrúpa, Éirinn sa dara háit agus An Afraic Theas ag pacáil a gcuid málaí abhaile go Cape Town. The result of reading it would attract a lot of discussion and controversy and a good basis for it I imagine. Tharraingeodh toradh dá léithid neart cainte is conspóide agus bunús maith leis shamhlóinn. Ireland's rugby team say there is no way a game would be fixed if they read it and to be fair to South Africa they don't think that their reading of nonsense could happen either. Deir foireann rugair na hÉireann nach bhfuil bealach ar bith go socrófaí cluiche dá léithid agus le bheith cóir ar An Afraic Theas ní dóigh leosan ach oiread go bhféadfadh a léithid sin de chneamhaireacht tarlú. If Ireland beat Scotland, which many think is likely to happen, they will clinch top spot in the table and face the All Blacks next weekend....

The Springboks start their 2023 Rugby World cup title defence campaign in Marseille, France, today with an expected pulsating tie against Scotland. The Springboks lifted the Webb Ellis Cup for a record-equalling third time in Japan four years ago after beating England in the final, but will have to be at their best from the start if they are to progress from a very difficult Pool B. Victory in today's match will put either side in a brilliant position to qualify for the quarter-finals, easing the pressure somewhat before both play Ireland. The match is due to start at 17:45 South African time. We spoke to SAfm Sports anchor Janet Whitton

But it's the drama off the field that is dominating discussions right now. Current coach Ian Foster announced he won't be reapplying for the job when his tenure ends after the tournament. This comes after a year of public backlash over performances. And now some of that fan anger is being turned on NZ Rugby, as future of our biggest sports team remains up in the air.

500 Tage bis zur WM im eigenen Land - das war das Motto des Top 14-Spieltags, der was Qualität und Kulisse allerdings seine Höhen und Tiefen hatte. Das antizipierte Topspiel war natürlich das Duell zwischen Toulon und dem amtierenden Meister und Europapokalsieger aus Toulouse: Vor knapp 65.000 Fans im Vélodrome von Marseille, vor dem Webb-Ellis-Cup, dem Brennus, den Europapokalen sowie der Six Nations-Trophäe, gab es allerdings eine Partie, die wohl keinen Blumentopf mehr gewinnen wird. Ebenso wie die Partie zwischen Castres und Clermont, wo es bei Frost, Wind und Starkregen mehr Kicks als Pässe zu sehen gab. Racing spielt gegen Biarritz eine starke zweite Hälfte, Montpellier geht gegen Bordeaux die Puste aus und La Rochelle enttäuscht anscheinend mit Siegen. In der Pro D2 wird der Abstiegskampf nochmal spannend - kann Bourg-en-Bresse sich doch noch retten? Wie geht es in Narbonne weiter, die jetzt auch offiziell abgestiegen sind? Auch im Abstiegskampf der Nationale wird es nochmal spannend, Cognac und Aubenas gehen Punktgleich in den letzten Spieltag. Die Frauen vom Stade Toulousain gewinnen die erste Ausgabe des Coupe de France.

Nearly two years on from their Rugby World Cup triumph, the Springboks are set to play again. South Africa will play Georgia in Pretoria on Saturday morning New Zealand time and they'll have a great excuse if players are a little rusty - with the coronavirus pandemic having kept them off the field since lifting the Webb Ellis Cup in Japan, back in November 2019. It's only a couple of weeks until they square off with the British and Irish Lions in a three-Test series. South African rugby correspondent Ken Borland spoke to Corin Dann.

Francois Louw went around the block a few times during his professional rugby career and when he decided to finally hang up his boots last month, he could look back at 15 years of senior rugby with a big smile on his face. The 35-year-old Louw ended up playing in three Rugby World Cup tournaments and donned the green and gold for a final time in Japan last year, and in the latest episode of the SA Rugby Podcast, he remembers the highs and lows of a career that culminated with the winning of the Webb Ellis Cup in 2019.
Francois Pienaar led the Springboks to their first Rugby World Cup title, on home soil in 1995, famously receiving the Webb Ellis Cup from the late Nelson Mandela in front of a packed Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Today, 24 June 2020, is the 25 year anniversary of that victory over the All Blacks, and Pienaar looks back at a day that united the Rainbow Nation.
Ellis Park, 1995. Nelson Mandela, wearing a No 6 Springbok jersey, presents Francois Pienaar with the Webb Ellis Cup. It is one of the great sporting moments. But, for Sean Fitzpatrick, captain of the All Blacks that day, it was an agonising experience. Joel Stransky's drop goal in extra time sealed the hosts' win, crushing the New Zealand legend's hopes of a second World Cup title. Now, 25 years on, Fitzpatrick - joined by Rupert Cox - looks back at the occasion, acknowledging its enormous cultural significance, but also the pain of that defeat.
The Webb Ellis Cup is back at SA Rugby's headquarters Cape Town's northern suburbs, delivered superbly by a Springbok team that conquered the best in the world over six riveting weeks in Japan. Coach Rassie Erasmus and captain Siya Kolisi, as well as 32 other players and all the backroom staff will go down in history as South Africa's third and probably, most unexpected, rugby world champions. In this episode of the Maverick Sports podcast we relive the final, dissect the turning points and ponder: 'where to from here', for these magnificent Springboks?
Die Springboks haben sich die Weltmeisterschaft 2019 in Japan geholt. In einem Finale, in dem die Südafrikaner über 80 Minuten das spielbestimmende Team waren, gewannen sie gegen die favorisierten Engländer mit 32-12. Im letzten Vorpass Spezial auf meinsportpodcast.de fasst Andreas Thies zusammen mit Vivian Bahlmann, Donal Peoples und Georg Molz das Spiel zusammen. Außerdem ziehen die vier ein Fazit dieser WM. England war als Favorit ins Finale gegangen. Nach ihrem überragenden Sieg gegen die All Blacks vor einer Woche hatten sie das Selbstvertrauen, um zum zweiten Mal Weltmeister zu werden. Südafrika dagegen hatte im Halbfinale gegen Wales bis zur letzten Minute kämpfen müssen, um ins Finale einzuziehen. Dazu hatten sie nicht immer überzeugendes Rugby gespielt. Doch das änderte sich im Endspiel. Südafrika war von Anfang an die bestimmende Mannschaft, drängte England mit ihrer überragenden Defensive immer wieder tief in die eigene Hälfte. England konnte sich zu selten aus der Umklammerung befreien. In der zweiten Halbzeit konnten Makazole Mapimpi und Cheslin Kolbe ihren Kollegen Handre Pollard, der bis zu dem Zeitpunkt mit Kicks für alle Punkte Südafrikas gesorgt hatte, mit Versuchen unterstützen. Siya Kolisi, der erste schwarze Kapitän eines Springbok-Team, konnte am Ende den Webb-Ellis-Cup in die Höhe stemmen. England wird enttäuscht sein, hatten sie bis zum Finale doch eine wunderbare WM gespielt. Als Fazit bleibt, dass die Verantwortlichen mit dem Austragungsort Japan trotz des Taifuns alles richtig gemacht haben und ein begeisterndes Turnier ablieferten.
