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.
TTLD talks tipple too, as our hosts and guests uncork tales that will likely titillate.
New episodes drop every Thursday at 9.00am wherever you get your podcasts.

0jeudi 29 août 2024 • Duration 40:05

The Boks will hope to firm their grip over the All Blacks with a possible fifth win in their last seven matches against their old foes. The All Blacks, who were a little aggrieved at the outcome of last year's Rugby World Cup final, have a chance to exact retribution at a venue where it will hurt the Boks most. Our hosts break down the elements that may help shape the game with Ackermann, now a much-respected coach.

Swys drops in again, this time with a few bombshells
0jeudi 22 août 2024 • Duration 37:45
Coaching guru and popular television pundit Swys de Bruin may have put down the microphone but he sat down with the To The Last Drop team as they looked ahead to the Springboks' clash next weekend against the All Blacks.
De Bruin says he is surprised former captain Sam Cane remains in the All Blacks set-up, adding he has not seen a significant change in the way the three-time Rugby World Cup winners go about their business under Scott Robertson.
De Bruin warned that they remain redoubtable opposition but that the Springboks have gone from strength to strength since winning the Rugby World Cup.
