Seasoned rugby writers Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme have teamed up with East Coast Radio's sister station Jacaranda FM to bring you 'To The Last Drop', your weekly dose of all things rugby. 

They collectively bring almost 60 years of rugby reporting to the microphone, diving into the game's most topical news stories, interviewing guests in-the-know, gazing into the fixture list crystal ball, and occasionally exploring the game's weird and wacky. 

Like the bounce of the ball, every episode is a journey into the unknown. 

In the latest episode, Bok coach Rassie Erasmus looks ahead to the Rugby Championship and talks about the team's international performances and strategies.

Blitzboks interim coach Philip Snyman explains his team's remarkable turnaround that resulted in a podium finish at the Olympic Games in Paris.


This week's episode also features Jacaranda FM's Xola Ntshinga, who joins Brenden and Liam for a pre-Rugby Championship chat.

About the hosts

Liam Del Carme

Liam Del Carme is one of the country's most enduring sports writers. His time in the newsrooms pre-dates rugby turning professional in the 1990s. Del Carme has been in the employ of broadsheet newspapers The Argus, Sunday Independent, This Day, and Beeld, and is currently the rugby writer at The Sunday Times.

Del Carme has reported at six Rugby World Cups and around 20 Currie Cup finals.

He loves cooking and travel and is the author of the book, 'WINGING IT – On tour with the Boks'. When time allows, he is a television pundit and writes a regular column on timeslive.co.za under the title ‘The Worst of Times’.

Brenden Nel

Rugby has always been a passion for Brenden, so much so that he made it a career. Since first entering a newsroom at the Citizen almost three decades ago, he has written for some of the biggest titles in the world, including Rapport, the Independent (UK), The Times (UK), South China Morning Post, and a host of others. Currently, he covers all things rugby for Supersport.com and has reported on no less than four World Cups, five Sevens World Cups, and around 250 Test matches in total. 

Brenden is also the author of 'Derick Hougaard - Dieware storie van Loftus se Liefling' and has a popular YouTube channel under his name. He loves nothing more when away from the game than a glass of good red wine, a good fire, and spending time with his wife and four rescue dogs.
