Behind The Scenes As South Africa Go Back To Back… Again! (📹@PirateRugbyPod) #Rugby #Springboks #LosPumas

Behind The Scenes As South Africa Go Back To Back… Again!

Last weekend the Springboks from South Africa became back to back Rugby Championship champions by beating Los Pumas of Argentina in a historic match held at London's Allianz Stadium aka Twickenham. I was granted exclusive media access for a being the scenes look at how this game went down: what went right, what went wrong and what did we learn from the Rugby Championship 2025 for both Springboks and Los Pumas? Not only did I get to see the game and meet the likes of Rassie Erasmus, Sita Kolisi and Felipe Contepomi, I got to meet my YouTube heroes like @8-9Combo Harry Jones and @EggchasersRugby Tim Cocker. It was a wonderful day! #rugby #southafrica #argentina #rugbychampionship #london #behindthescenes #london #champions #documentary Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Chapters 0:00 Lekker Access 1:28 Lekker People 3:36 Lekker Champions 5:11 Lekker Argentina 8:12 Lekker Siya 9:05 Lekker Rassie 9:54 Lekker Contepomi 11:12 Lekker Day

Sacha despairing at the Scarlets whilst literally playing against them

HG Rugby @huwgriffinrugby.bsky.social · 18h

I’m out and about all day today meaning i’ll miss all the rugby which is fine because i’ve never even heard of the sport and even if i had i wouldn’t watch it especially not teams who play in red or variations of red

Can’t quite wrap my head around that all time low performance by the Scarlets

2 games ago we gave Leinster a rattle in the quarter final. Now this.

HG Rugby @huwgriffinrugby.bsky.social · 1d

The Scarlets pack is currently:

Sam O’Connor
Kirby Myhill
Archer Holtz
Steve Cummings
Jarod Taylor
Ben Williams
Dan Davis
Taine Plumtree

Still, at least we have plenty of depth at wing and fullback. And 3 test inside centres.

I have never seen that before.

HG Rugby @huwgriffinrugby.bsky.social · 1d

Bold strategy from the Scarlets to play this game without a tight 5

You and me both

HG Rugby @huwgriffinrugby.bsky.social · 1d

The only thing worse than some of these calls is the Scarlets themselves.

From the Twickenham gantry to the thunder of the Springbok crowd, Huw Griffin’s first Bok test was already unforgettable.
Then he met Siya Kolisi and Rassie Erasmus... The aura, the presence… pure goosebumps!
