RugbyBits n Pieces: Boks v Ireland preview, 7-1 splits, DDA v Aki

RugbyBits

Shaun and Thala record a special Rugby Bits n Pieces pod to preview the biggest Rugby World Cup pool game (ever?) between the world champions and the world number 1s.

The boys admit that they do not know anything about rugby, since Nienaber and Erasmus have flipped the script on everyone with the 7:1 bench. We talk about how the bench will be used, the 3 fetchers on the bench and the importance of slowing down Irish ruck ball and how rugby may change if the 7:1 split works for the Boks.

We then look at an Irish team with not many changes, we look at the tasty individual matchups, including Damien de Allende and Bundee Aki for the best 12 in the world right now, the loose trio battle, Dan Sheehan on the bench and Sexton against big South African forwards.
