Fire up the braai, let's get the party started, it's time to eat your favourite pasta and get our takeaways on the Springboks series win over the Italians. The Azzuri were well and truly beaten in the second Test, but our panel believe the Italians provided a good test for the Springboks who are primed to peak over their two games in New Zealand during the Rugby Championships. We also talk about Rassie Erasmus's new innovations (open play lineout mauls), give you our perspective on André Esterhuizen's new hybrid role, and pay tribute to the man, the legend that is Willie le Roux on his 100th Test. 

Hosts: Zayn Nabbi and Courtney Freese

Guest: Peter Stemmet (Al Jazeera Sports Presenter and Front Row Rugby)
