Rugby relaunch and Springbok strategies
The 'To The Last Drop' rugby podcast has a new home! Hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme have teamed up with Jacaranda FM, and their weekly podcast now resides on JacPod.
Seasoned rugby writers Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme have teamed up with Jacaranda FM to bring you 'To The Last Drop', your weekly dose of all things rugby.
They collectively bring almost 60 years of rugby reporting to the microphone, diving into the game's most topical news stories, interviewing guests in-the-know, gazing into the fixture list crystal ball, and occasionally exploring the game's weird and wacky.
Like the bounce of the ball, every episode is a journey into the unknown.
In the latest episode, Bok coach Rassie Erasmus looks ahead to the Rugby Championship and talks about the team's international
performances and strategies.
This week's episode also features Jacaranda FM's Xola Ntshinga who joins Brenden and Liam for a pre-Rugby Championship chat.

Brenden Nel
Rugby has always been a passion for Brenden, so much so that he made it a career.
