In this week’s BizNews Rugby Show, SuperSport Schools commentator and "rugby encyclopedia" Niels Momberg returns to talk all things rugby with insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd. With Round 17 of the United Rugby Championship kicking off today, the trio dissects the playoff permutations, offers fearless predictions (including a few upsets!), and debates the psychology behind Leinster's recent failures. Momberg goes deep on SA’s schoolboy rugby scene, spotlighting prodigies like Paarl Gim's Markus Muller and Grey College's Ethan "Tank" Adams, while also previewing two massive clashes: Paul Roos vs Paarl Gimnasium and Grey College vs Paarl Boys' High. From URC playoff drama to rising stars and flawed scheduling at SA Schools level, this episode is packed with insight, banter, and bold calls you won’t want to miss.
