Kevin Putt: Former Springbok previews the final Greatest Rivalry test between the All Blacks and Springboks

0:00So the A-B is the spring box and Baltimore, much friendlier time for us Sunday 9 a.m. Kevin, part form the spring box with us this morning, Kevin. Good morning. Good morning, Ryan. You thought were your predictions for this weekend? With the injuries we've got the questions about our New Zealand Depth, I think South Africa, even though not great travelers, I think they'll get it done. It was funny listening to Mike Hosking show yesterday and we had Jordy Barrett talking about the fact that when they finished that second test, they all jumped on a charter flight together, four hours after it's sitting across from one another with the box straight to Baltimore. Well, that's the modern game isn't it now that you can actually, you know, have a little bit of socialization with the opposition and then go out and potentially try and kill them in about seven days time? How do you think Dave Renny is going to react? I mean, so two losses back to back. What do you think the message would have been? Look, I've got to be honest. I think Dave Renny has already, you know, got the tech.

1:01He's gone toe to toe with the box, two, one, down, be it. I think people can see he's doing his job okay. I think this is more of a test of New Zealand rugby and the depth chart. What has happened over the last sort of four years with their development of young players? And let's have a look at it and I think they may be found wanting. How much do you think Arty Savia has the sort of his leadership? How much of an effect do you think that has on the side in the psyche? Massive Ren, I really do. He's a tell usman and that's a, you know, a physical tell usman as well. He leads them right from the front. We even nearly saw a drop off in the last test match when he actually left the field. But when you combine that now with Tupaya in the center, which had been before the competition even started, a position that had been so concerned about that you combine a lack of positional nows. And then you're kept in as well. It's got to be a bit of a concern. Obviously they will not talk about it. Jury Barrett, I'm sure, will step up to the plate, but yeah, it's got to be a concern.
