How We won the World Cup Part 2 (feat. Lindsay Weyer) - a podcast by MultimediaLIVE

In Part 2 of our beautifully insightful conversation with Rassie Erasmus's lieutenant, performance analyst Lindsay Weyer, our last special guest for 2019 breaks down how the Springboks dismantled England.

They had plenty of help, of course, coming in the form of consultant Felix Jones, who joined the Springbok management team after Swys de Bruin pulled out on the eve of the tournament.

Many questioned Jones' appointment but Erasmus knew what they were getting from his mate from Munster and Weyer gets into detail about how Jones gave them the blueprint on all the England players, which influenced the power scrum that South Africa had as well as the key moments, such as the Cheslin Kolbe try and Damian de Allende's running lines.

He describes how they identified that the two England play-makers, George Ford and Owena Farrell, were actually poor defenders. The coaching staff commanded their ball-carriers to have a go at them. The result was spectacular.

Weyer also goes into detail about his history in the game, which is a great "origin" story of one of the most influential hidden figures of the Rugby World Cup-winning team.
