Below is a post match interview Ngubelanga did with
@This_Kate
in last year’s
@varsityshield
final after losing to Fort Hare.
I initially thought this was a ridiculous decision but in hindsight realized it was practiced all week. Boks rarely take decisions without a thought process - this bought the forwards some time, sucked a penalty- Boks cleared their lines - everyone happy✅

@Springboks
Great to see young EC players like Siya Ningiza, Sihlalo Benge and Joshua Jonas getting a run with senior players in this Sharks side!🔥🔥 This is more of a Currie Cup team and hopefully they can squeeze themselves in this year’s squad! 🔥🔥
A lot of people wondering whether Moodie can do the job at 13.
Anyone who watched Landbou in 2019 will confirm he can.
Big, Strong, Quick, Brilliant defender. Built for it.

Bavuma will begin his reign when the Proteas take on the West Indies later this month.
I don’t understand how the Boks are still experimenting with different kickers in a World Cup year! So if Libbok and Pollard are out, we are F’d basically! Yoh!
