This week RuggaMatrix catches up with the South African camp ahead of their Tri-Nations clash with Australia in Perth.
Assistant Springboks coach Dick Muir tells us about the confidence within the camp and the secret to their incredible success.
Les Kiss is still settling back in Ireland so we’ll hear from him in a couple of weeks but Ewen McKenzie has avoided the Swine Flu to give a us a full rundown on happenings in the north including Bloodgate.
Our In-Depth Analysis is THE BIG PLAY.
Inspired by last week’s Bledisloe Cup thriller we ask the question; do teams have a winning play ready for last minute victory? The Australians had a chance to win in the dying moments but failed. Did they have a plan? If they did, what went wrong? The history of the game is littered with breathtaking last second triumphs. We determine whether they are just lucky or well planned. Once again our In-Depth analysis is brought to you by www.bobdwyerrugby.com and he has a special deal for RuggaMatrix listeners.

Our special guest star is South African captain John Smit.
The World Cup winning skipper is currently preparing for a heavyweight showdown with the Auckland Blues in New Zealand. Last weekend Smith played off the bench against the Chiefs in a high quality clash in the wet in Hamilton. Smit covers it all with RuggaMatrix this week.

We look at the Six Nations in depth with both Kiss and Stade Francais Head Coach Ewen McKenzie. McKenzie’s team was decimated by selections over the weekend and we find out just how he coped.
We also find out what the talk is in France about the Barbarians playing the Wallabies and Sonny Bill Williams coming back to Australia. Marc Hinton from www.rugbyheaven.co.nz is back for the Kiwi perspective and no doubt he’ll be crowing about the Hurricanes upset win over the Crusaders in Round 3 of the Super 14.
SANZAR – The Future is the subject of our in depth analysis this week.
The panel will make their own recommendations about the way forward. Should it be Super 15, Super 10 with more games or something else completely?
