    Former Wallabies rugby coach John Connolly is giving the All Blacks' depth under Scott Robertson an edge over the Springboks two years from the World Cup

    Former Wallabies rugby coach John Connolly is giving the All Blacks' depth under Scott Robertson an edge over the Springboks two years from the World Cup


    He explains why.



    Former All Blacks captain Todd Blackadder is less convinced.

    He believes the Springboks have found a winning formula to dominate for years.

    The world's number-one ranked side secured the Rugby Championship this season, including a record win over New Zealand in Wellington, and have toppled France and Ireland this month.

    Blackadder says South African coach Rassie Erasmus has struck the right balance between younger talent and aging experience.
