Episode 123: Springboks Trying New Tricks, All Blacks Back to Winning Ways, Chicago Anti-Climax!
About this episode
People have been asking, “Where’s Harry?” Well, here he is — back from Chicago and straight into the chaos. The All Blacks vs Ireland clash may have looked like a spectacle on paper, but Soldier Field turned out to be a true anti-climax with a flat crowd, awkward production, and a game that felt more like a rehearsal than a test. MW and Harry break it all down, exploring what went wrong, what worked, and what this means for rugby’s future in the U.S. ahead of the 2031 World Cup.Meanwhile, the Springboks are shaking things up with new patterns on the field. Ox’s injury leaves big questions over the front row, and MW takes a no-holds-barred swipe at online rugby chatter, calling out the worst of fan behaviour. Between tactical insight, hilarious back-and-forths, and unfiltered observations, Episode 123 is classic Lekker Rugby — smart, sharp, and impossible to ignore.
