Springbok squad reaction, Leon MacDonald leaves the All Blacks, get ready to go to Pau away, Siya Kolisi
Description
Kooks, Shaun and Thala break down the Springbok squad selected for the home double against the All Blacks.
We discuss whether how match sharp Jaden Hendrikse has looked since coming back to play for the Sharks. We discuss if Steven Kitshoff has to win his place in the 23 back from Gerhard Steenkamp and whether Elrigh Louw has done enough or will Jasper Wiese come straight back into the Bok 23.
