RugbyBitsPod: Six Nations Round 1 Review and HOW did the Stormers get up there?
The full squad is here to look back at an entertaining first week of the 2022 Six Nations, the South African URC games and talk about the state of South African rugby.
We discuss impressive Irish and Scottish performances, Jared says some nice things about Josh van der Flier, whether Pivac made a mistake selecting Josh Adams at center, Thala has a scorching take on the Scottish tight five and why England doesn’t need to panic and they need to listen to Shaun.
We are also trying to figure out how the Stormers became the top side in the South African conference of the URC. Kooks leads a discussion on the state of South African rugby and whether having so many competitions happening at one time (URC, Currie Cup, age-group competitions, Varsity Cup, etc.) is good for the local game.
