South Africa have done it again. The Springboks retained the Rugby Championship after a nail-biting 29–27 win over Argentina at Twickenham, clinching the title on points difference. Both the Boks and All Blacks finished on 19 log points, but Rassie’s men held their superior +57 margin to keep the crown.
Xola and Sim break down every moment from Twickenfontein — no guests, just straight Bok analysis and sharp rugby talk.
🇿🇦 Back-to-Back Kings
It wasn’t pretty, but it was powerful. Two tries each from Malcolm Marx and Cobus Reinach anchored a dominant set-piece display, while the Pumas’ late surge tested Bok nerve to the limit.
🇦🇷 Pumas Bring the Fight
Felipe Contepomi’s side came to disrupt — and nearly did. A late try had fans on edge, but South Africa’s discipline and tactical kicking saw them home.
🇳🇿 All Blacks Fall Just Short
New Zealand beat Australia in Perth, but their inferior +8 points difference left them chasing shadows. The Boks’ Durban demolition job ultimately sealed the deal.
🧠 In this episode:
How Marx and Reinach powered the win
Tactical discipline under pressure
Rassie & Kolisi’s mindset shift
Why Perth still mattered
What’s next: the northern tour and the Championship’s evolution
New chaos drops every week — follow for raw Bok breakdowns wherever you listen.
