SCRUMAGEDDON | XOLA & KITZY | FRONT ROW, RUGBY CHAOS & THE WEEKEND AHEAD

Описание: Welcome back to That Rugby Union Show — today it’s all about Kitzy, the chaos around the modern game, and what’s coming this weekend.

Xola sits down with Steven Kitshoff for a proper front-row conversation: the career, the grind, the body, the mindset, and what life actually looks like when your job is to put your head where other people keep their fears.

In this episode:

🔥 Talking to Kitzy about Kitzy

Growing up in the front row and how early he knew he was a prop, not a pretty boy.

The toll Test rugby takes on your neck, back, and brain.

Best and worst scrums of his career.

How he sees the game now compared to when he started.

What he still wants from rugby — and what he’ll never miss.

🔥 Key rugby topics this week

The ongoing noise around the Bok scrum and why everyone is suddenly a set-piece expert.

The balance between power and safety — are people genuinely worried or just tired of being dominated?

The state of refereeing and TMO intervention: when is it protection, and when is it interference?

Depth in the Bok pack: who’s coming through, who’s crucial, and where the real vulnerability is.

How forwards feel about law tweaks that keep changing the way they have to play.

🔥 Looking ahead to the weekend

Which teams are under real pressure to respond after poor performances.

Where the big forward battles will be and who could get exposed.

Games that actually matter for momentum versus games that are just noise.

What Xola and Kitzy will be watching for: discipline, collisions, set-piece, or structure.

This one isn’t PR.
It’s not “great contest between two quality sides” nonsense.
It’s a straight conversation with one of the most recognisable gingers in world rugby about what’s real and what’s bullshit.
