The Antoine Dupont GOAT debate and why Heyneke Meyer can help the Blitzboks
Listen now
Description
Kooks and Thala wade into the Antoine Dupont goat debate dominating social media after France won the gold in the Olympic Sevens. Join us as we try to have a balanced discussion about what do we look for in the GOAT debate, why Dupont stands out, his impact on the Sevens and why both sides of the debate need to calm down. We also warn South African fans that this alliance with New Zealand on this debate may come back to bite us! We then give our flowers to Fiji as they finally lose an Olympics Sevens game. We talk about the strong defence that led to Blitzboks winning bronze. The superstar Ilona Maher is and why Shelly-Ann Fraser Price is watching Sevens now. We finally discuss whether the success of Cheslin Kolbe and Kwagga Smith might be great for the Springboks but hurts the Blitzboks.
