Bok Boan still needs to ‘pinch myself’
The Mercury
|September 29, 2025
THE Springboks know the job is far from finished, and their emphatic 67-30 demolition of Argentina in Durban was a statement of intent - but the Rugby Championship title is not yet secured.
One last hurdle awaits at Twickenham, where South Africa will look to put the finishing touches on their campaign and retain the crown. The Boks face Los Pumas in the second and final Test of the tournament in London this Saturday, and a victory should be enough to ensure the trophy remains with the world champions.
They currently top the Championship standings on 15 points, with New Zealand a point behind in second. Australia (11) is third, while Los Pumas (9) find themselves in last place.
The All Blacks and Wallabies face each other in Perth on Saturday morning, and after this game, the Boks will know exactly what they must do to be crowned winners.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa
THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
