Kitshoff has weighed in on the scrum controversy that ran through the Greatest Rivalry Series, flatly rejecting Rennie's accusation that Ox Nche was walking around in the set-piece. Speaking at the launch of his autobiography, Kitshoff backed Daan Human's insistence that the Bok scrum culture is built entirely around straight, legal dominance — no dark arts, no tricks. His point is that walking around isn't just frowned upon; it's treated as a disciplinary offim in Human's system, which Kitshoff experienced first-hand across five seasons in the green-and-gold. He also notes that the scrum chaos in Baltimore nearly drew Bok penalties until assistant referee intervention — which adds texture to the officiating debate Rennie ultimately lost with World Rugby. As a broader frame, Kitshoff draws a parallel between the current All Blacks and where the Boks were in 2017–18: new management, rebuilding, and under pressure — a comparison that will resonate with anyone who remembers how dark that period felt before Erasmus turned things around.
