Another historic win in Dublin — and one of the wildest Test matches we’ve seen in years. Ireland finished with five cards, the crowd lost their minds, the TMO was everywhere, and yet the Boks’ power up front completely took over. From Sacha’s magic to Marx’s dominance and the scrum turning the game into a one-way demolition, South Africa ended Ireland’s 13-year home streak with a 24–13 victory that felt bigger than the scoreline. In this episode of The Verdict, Jean, Shimmy and Schalk dive into every moment: the card chaos, the controversial calls, the disallowed tries, the final 10 minutes of madness, and whether this Irish team is genuinely in decline or just in transition. We unpack Rassie’s reaction to the crowd, the Betway predictions drama, the WeBuy Moment of the Week, and the bigger implications heading into Wales. A wild Test deserves a wild analysis — and this one has everything. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
