WATCH: Kiwi pundits rave about Springboks... except one
The Springboks achieved a very special piece of history last year when they claimed a fourth successive victory over the All Blacks for the first time ever.
As the world champions wrapped up the Rugby Championship title and continued to remain ensconced at the top of the world rugby rankings, the Springboks have unequivocally become the 'team to beat' in the global game.
Just this past weekend the Springboks started their 2025 season with a resounding victory over the Barbarians, while experimenting with some selections, which included bringing regular centre Andre Esterhuizen on as a flank.
Reflecting on where the Springboks currently stand in the world rugby reckoning, former All Blacks stars Justin Marshall, Jeff Wilson and Mils Muliaina all raved about the South African side on their chat show called 'Broken Voice'.
The trio hailed the Springboks for their innovation, strength in depth and just how they have become the team that everyone is chasing.
However, their views weren't echoed by fellow pundit and former New Zealand player, John Kirwan, who has become well known in South Africa for his ever-regular criticism of the Springboks.
In the video clip, shared and edited by Rugga Chat below, there have been some comical additions which certainly add a lighter touch to the views shared.
