This Ireland v Springboks clash in Dublin was more than just a Test match – it was an emotional rematch after the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The singing, the criticism, the pain… and a Bok team that arrived with one mission: dominate and destroy.

In this short-form episode of The Coach G Show, I break down:

• How the Springbok defence, collisions and line speed set the tone

• The evolution of the Bok attack – from mauls and scrums to skillful, multi-layered attack

• Why the scrum became a true weapon and what that means for young props

• Tactical awareness, red brain vs blue brain, and how emotion and red cards shaped the game

• Tackle technique, extras after training and reviewing a tough performance when you’ve been dominated
