Today, the boys unpack sporting affiliation. We start by coming off the high of the Springboks' rugby world cup triumph and the role and responsibility of the president.

Ty then gives some insight into the UK footballing experience before the pair explain how they came about supporting their respective teams and how the gift of choice could actually be a disadvantage.

Tev wraps up by probing whether the power of sport could be used in politics to garner support from the masses and if the mixing of sports and politics has made a difference to the social landscape.
