    Boks Unpacked: Champions Cup Drama, Chippy Tribute, Schalks Birthday & The Battle For The URC Play Off's!

    14/04/2026 | 58 mins.
    The latest Boks Unpacked Rugby episode is packed with laughs, sharp takes, and proper rugby banter as the team dives into a huge weekend of action on and off the field. From Champions Cup drama and URC predictions to birthday chirps, old stories, and some classic dressing-room-style chaos, this one has everything. The panel tackles the controversial officiating around Christoph Ridley and asks the big question after yet another flashpoint: did the Challenge Cup game make the earlier collapse look even worse? There is also plenty of heat around the Sharks, the Stormers, the Bulls and the Lions as the race for the business end of the season starts getting very real.
    But this episode is more than just analysis. There is a heartfelt tribute to the late Chippy Solomons, remembering one of the great rugby men and a much-loved figure in Western Province and Stormers circles. Between the emotion, the outrageous one-liners, and the honest rugby insight, the chemistry is on full display as the hosts unpack everything from Toulouse and Bordeaux to Faf’s return, Rory’s Masters drama, and whether the Sharks can still find one final push. It is raw, funny, emotional, and full of the kind of rugby conversation that feels like you are right there in the room with them.

    Ref Mistake Sends Stormers Out! | Champions Cup Quarter-Finals Preview

    14/04/2026 | 57 mins.
    Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, and Hanyani Shimange (host) — break down one of the most controversial Easter weekends in recent Champions Cup history. Was the referee's decision the reason the Stormers went home early? We unpack the Stormers maul, yellow card, TMO failure, and what World Rugby needs to fix urgently.

    Plus — the Bulls' near-miss in Glasgow, whether a South African team can ever win the Investec Champions Cup, and why the Sharks remain the most frustrating team in rugby despite having one of the best squads in the URC.

    Jean de Villiers and Schalk go head-to-head on Louis Bielle-Biarrey vs Bryan Habana in a footrace — and the answer might surprise you.

    We also debate the best and most intimidating rugby stadiums in the world, the schoolboy rugby overload crisis, and Henry Pollock's growing target on his back.

    And — we prank call Nick Mallett live on air and ask him to apologise for his referee comments. His response? Exactly what you'd expect. 😂

    Champions Cup quarter-finals preview: Toulouse vs Bordeaux, Bath vs Northampton, Leinster vs Sharks, Glasgow vs Toulon — predictions, man of the match picks, first try scorers and margin calls.

    Presented by Capri Sun Kemps Bay. Betway predictions segment included.
