Coach Rassie Erasmus believes South Africa has gained valuable intel on an "improved" Wallabies side ahead of next year's World Cup in Australia.

The 5 Terrorists arrested for trying to bomb RAF Fairford Air Base are being RELEASED on Bail.
How do you stop what would have been a catastrophic terror attack on Americans only to let them go?
The U.K. government is incompetent.
This is insane.
Anele attacks Esterhuizen for a 2012 schoolboy mistake he already paid for, yet stays silent on her own husband’s 2026 Special Tribunal judgment for a fraudulent 2020 COVID PPE tender in Mpumalanga.
Clean your own house. RACIST❗️ 🤬

A British TV host just SNAPPED on air on the U.K. Government for ignoring clear links between mass immigration and terrorism.
“Let me teach you a thing or two in case you don’t get it yet. I would imagine that whatever has gone down near that base, the people who done it, probably came into the country from somewhere else and came there specifically to do whatever it is they were planning to do”
Look at the men who were caught trying to bomb RAF Fairford air base. Do they look “British” to you? It doesn’t take a genius to see that they are third worlders.
Everyone is sick of being betrayed by their own leaders with suicidal immigration policies. Enough.
President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected a farm safety plan in South Africa that the United States was prepared to fund.
How do you explain this refusal other than that the South African government does not want to solve the problem of farm murders?

We planted 3,000 crosses in Washington, D.C.
Every cross carries the name of a person killed in a farm attack in South Africa.
I refuse to leave them alone.
These people deserve Freedom.
Congrats to Andre Esterhuizen on becoming the Springbok captain for this weekend
Didn't throw his toys out the cot when he was left out of the 2019 RWC squad, just went away and smashed it at Harlequins.
Learnt to play a 2nd position to add value as a team player.

When will South Africa let the greatest South African entrepreneur of all time do business in the country?
Elon Musk says he was offered the opportunity to obtain a license for Starlink to operate in South Africa if he would pretend that a Black person runs the company.
Elon refused to do so on the principle that racism should not be rewarded.
South Africa’s unemployment rate is 33.6%, and the expanded unemployment rate (which includes those who want to work but have given up searching for a job) is 43.8%!
But it seems South Africa’s leaders are more concerned with enacting racist anti-White policies than creating jobs for the country’s population.
There’s a big discussion at The Breakdown today about the Springboks and their depth: “There are only 23 players can play on the day and that’s what you are up against “
And that’s a fact. There are only 23 players on the field, and I know for a fact that South Africa knows exactly what their best side is. That best side played against the All Blacks in all 4 Tests. That’s a fact.
But do you know what depth gives you?
Longevity.
The Bok players are getting older and many of them are reaching the latter stages of their careers. But their incredible depth means they don’t have to play every single game. They only have to play the important games because they have quality, like-for-like replacements waiting outside the 23.
And that’s where South Africa’s depth becomes so frightening.
Rassie Erasmus has created an environment where you can bring a player into the team and expect him to perform because everyone understands their role. The system is clear. The standards are clear. The cohesion isn’t necessarily a problem because the players coming in already understand how the team operates.
Compare that with the All Blacks.
Can we rest Cam Roigard against Scotland? Can we rest Jordie Barrett? I don’t think we can.
South Africa can say: “Damian de Allende and Jesse Kriel aren’t playing this week. We’ll put Damian Willemse at 12 and André Esterhuizen at 13,” or make other combinations within their system, and they can still expect those players to perform the same roles at an incredibly high level.
That is what depth gives you.
It’s not about having a 23-man team that is better than everyone else’s 23. If it’s simply 23 vs 23, the difference might not be that significant.
It’s what happens over an entire season and especially over a Rugby World Cup cycle.
In 2027, you will see South Africa rotate heavily through the pool stages. Maybe some pool games will feature a completely different side. Maybe one of the games they field their strongest XV. Then, when they reach the knockout stages, they can bring their best players back in fresh and ready for the Round of 16, quarter-final and beyond.
And the biggest advantage is that they have the luxury of bringing almost anyone into that environment and expecting them to play the same way as the person they’re replacing.
That’s the scary part. The rest of the world shouldn’t just be scared of South Africa’s best 23. They should be scared of South Africa’s depth and what that depth does to the longevity of their best players.
And you have to give Rassie Erasmus enormous credit for creating an environment where that is possible.
