Former Springbok hooker James Dalton and Keo, in their Biting the Bullet podcast, look ahead to the Springboks’s Test against the All Blacks in Wellington.

Bullet Dalton pulls no punches in saying he expects more action from his mate and Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus and less talk.

Dalton also says he currently doesn’t believe the Springboks are skilled or good enough for there to even be talk of a miracle win in New Zealand.
