Two OD Springbok rugby players who played almost half a century apart, reflect lightheartedly on the evolution of the game and make some predictions for the future. 

Dugald Macdonald (1967W and Springbok team of 1974) and Francois Louw (2003W and a member of the Springboks 2019 RWC Team) discuss how the move from amateur to professional rugby has changed the game, the impact of politics on South African sport then and now, and whether the world is falling out of love with rugby.
