Should the Boks be scared of Ireland and France with Riaan Louw

Kooks and Thala are joined by our favorite rugby YouTuber, Riaan Louw to break down Round 4 of the Six Nations.

Kooks and Thala start by reacting to France's record win over England in Twickenham. Kooks remarks that France are unbeatable at that form and we discuss what they do so well and impressive performances from Antoine Dupont, Charles Ollivon and Thomas Ramos. We also scratch our heads trying to work out how to fix England, who should play v Ireland and if Jack van Poorvliet has kicked the ball out of the ruck yet.

Riaan joins us as we discuss the Scotland v Ireland game. We try to figure out if Ireland has 25 hour days to practice Josh van der Flier's lineout throwing and how they're the best problem solvers in rugby. Kooks is again let down by Scotland, in spite of the magic of Huwipulotu.

We then discuss whether France and Ireland should cause Bok fans sleepless nights. Does Ireland have aspects of their game that can cause the Boks issues? Are France the perfect mix of the Springboks and the All Blacks? And what about Scotland too?

We also discuss the state of Riaan's favorite team, the Lions. Whether the days of hot dogs on tour are over, Franke Horn being a key player, their chances at qualifying for the URC top 8 and why Scott Robertson has put Riaan in therapy.

Out First Phase looks at which consultant should an international team get in preparation for the Rugby World Cup.
