On this week's podcast Elliott Smith (Newstalk ZB's lead rugby commentator) and Liam Napier (NZ Herald's chief sports writer) discuss the All Blacks loss to South Africa, but more importantly the bigger picture of five tests lost in six matches and whether there is anything that can be done to arrest this slide.
Liam's on the ground in South Africa to give us a sense of the local reaction to the performances from both sides and we assess where the All Blacks problems' start, as well as analyse whether it truly was the "best performance" by the All Blacks this year.
We take a look at the much-discussed future of Ian Foster in his job, while we also tackle (metaphorically only) the issue of high ball tackles and if the time has come to ban jumping for the ball in rugby.
