Am was always the better player but since and at the 2023 WC Kriel has been better- I think because of the injury Am had.
It's a pleasure to hear your take and analysis, Mark. I think it's a fair Bok selection. Sacha is a great choice. Quick backline, and a solid bench. The locks can either make or break for the Boks. But the other team is the ABs, and they are always a mountain! This will be a close battle.
@Sunshinez732 thanks for the kind feedback. I am excited by this Boks selection because it will bring out the best of the All Blacks.
Love your work Mark. Allan from Stellenbosch, South Africa
@AllanBrooks-y7p Hola in Stellenbosch Allan and I love your comment. Thank you.
Love you rugby views on SA RUGBY. Can't wait for this weekend.
@karlvanrooyen7402 thank you kindly. First and foremost Im a rugby fan, so appreciate all great teams, players, coaches and fans.
Love your videos 👍 Your pronounciation is spot on. For Arendse try saying it as ArendSir. As for the Team, Im nervous but also excited, big opportunities for some players. Driving this team backwards can work but can also backfire. Sacha and Fassi, and the two wingers can bounce back and take the smallest gaps. All Blacks once again favourites here i feel but ir will be an exciting game cant wait 😁
@clibo1 thank you for the kind words. Agree, it can be a double edged sword but I think the ABs will assess the risk, reward scenario and go for it, but rather, I think they will choose to keep ball in hand and play fast. Did you see the poll on the community page, hardly favorites. Enjoy the games
I honestly want to see the future of the Boks, fortunate for us to watch in real-time as kids get thrown in the tool box. We have already won this game by this team announcement.
Hola @sword_tech Thanks for your passionate comment. Lets come back and re visit the last sentence you wrote after the game.
Nice post ... Am nervous Bok 8 are underpowered .. we got no one over the ball until 4 come on in 2nd half !! So I hope they paid special attention to this this week ... the game in Albany we could not get the ball off the AB and game over in 30 minutes !! Have to see how Wiese goes but I think AB like this type of forward .. power but slow !! ... The wing battle going to be the magic in this game .. Clark Vs Kurtley .. Kolbe Vs Jordan .. flippin awesome !! Glad we sticking with 12 and 13 .. partnership means everything there .. go Sascha and Fassi .. what a huge stage .. may the best team win !! Win or lose Bok will make 10 changes next Saturday ..
@user-rr3pu9tl5j thank you. Plenty of interesting stuff written here. We do like the Wiese style of player, and it will be interesting to see if the AB´s can exploit that someone. I am not yet 100% convinced yet that Caleb Clarke will be a starter in this first game.
Irish fans are licking their lips, waiting for the Almighty All Blacks to give the Bokke a reality check 😂 this is the calm before the storm. And I wish Ireland could come and join the Rugby Championship 😁 cis i know they will make alot of noise this coming saturday evening 😉
@HarryPottard love it, welcome to the party. Gonna be epic
Today Rassie said during a presser, how he track players in all positipns, from overseas, domestic down to schoolboy levels. Which is an interesting outlook on the South African rugby landscape from which he builds depth. This weekend will be litmus test for this depth and richness. Yes, locks will be a concern. About Willie:he said Willie's new role will be to mentor new players, but he will still get game time. I still think Handre should have started just minimise risk in the 9/10 area,but he has the opportunity now to put the young guns infront of some huge pressure and buold confidence and experience. I am still worried about about Fassi, but he will be able to assist our smaller wings with securing highballs, but it will be a trying time for him. That might be a area the All Blacks might want to exploit. I think Handre will be able to cover both 10 and 15 from the bench depending how the game plays out. What is really clear, is that Rassie is willing to risk a loss and to give the new gaurd time to hone their skills. I am not willing to say who will win, but will say AB by 5 either way😂. Thanks Mark.
@tobysmeiman6921 thanks for sharing this lot, some very interesting points. Many coaches across the world are doing some very in depth work behind up skilling themselves on what is happening in the world of rugby. Its a shame in some ways that we dont get visibility on them, I know, Rassie is the man of the hour so he gets a lot of media time. Enjoy, it will be a fascinating game, thats for sure.
Goeie Video! Dit gaan intressant wees!
Mark I love your good old kiwi optimism....😊 no way this kiwi team can bully the boks at Ellis Park...All blacks only chance is if they start well like Ireland in the second game otherwise it could get nasty.....
@jerryb6323 first off, thanks so much for subscribing to the channel a few days ago, I truly appreciate it. Rugby is a funny game my friend, be ready for anything. Enjoy, and I will see you Saturday, here.
Just to note the weather conditions : Top temp 19*c, partly cloudy, but dry. No wind. Perfect for a fast game.
@normanmdavis3262 sounds perfect, even for the Braais.
Fassi is an absolute beast under the high ball, that's well taken care of🤝🏽
@sonwabilemnyango3752 , noted and thank you for the sharing. I shall be watching
I like the look of young Tamaiti Williams, this will be a proper test for the youngster at altitude, with 2 front rows that could be first choice for most countries, a match-up to watch keenly
@neilshrekpurves4521 indeed, mouth watering, thank you for the comment
I think tamighty, cody, lomax is actually very underrated
Springboks locks in this game is still better than guys on the AB's side, don't underestimate this lock pairing
@Mr.RB123 thanks for your comment. Here´s a little trivia that you may not know. Eben Etzebeth has faced the All Blacks 21 times since 2012. He has been on the losing side 15 times in those appearances. Does it come down to the locks?
I think Darry has started very well and Scott Barrett could he a great pairing. I sense a bit of overconfidence coming in. You are 1-1 vs Ireland remember. Dont want to take too much from Australia at this point.
This locks are more mobile, backline is fast, think de Allende is the slowest, bench lots of fetchers, this team is fast, All Blacks must try to Slow the game down i would say, ... we playing on the Highveld 😂
@Mr.RB123 thanks so much for the comment. IMHO there is no way in this world that the All Blacks will slow the game down. That would be like trying to swim to Robin Island without a spear gun.
@@insiderugbywithmark that's their only way out, this new plan of Rassie and his team are different, try making the game faster will play into the Boks hands, ...
And the boks will get powered off the park. Bullied even. Retention retention retention.
Thanks for the analysis as always.
@myshepspud1 thanks for the comment
Mngomezulu pronunciation pretty on point Mark. 👏💪. I know we act like experts but it's hard to pronounce some names depending on what culture you are even growing up in SA, so fair play for trying. 😊
@myshepspud1well you have been around my channel for nearly a year, so thank you. I get tripped up sometimes, but most put up with me, and we move forward.
I remember during the world cup.... Since then Mark's pronunciation of player's improved a 100%🎉. I never blamed you Mark😊
Hmmm...I guess its change of the guards....as always... we will roll with this and support this team...miskien weet ons nie wat Rassie weet nie die keer😂 ...appreciate your Channel Mark🎉
Thank you @RozWentworth Ek dink nie ons weet wat rassie meeste van die tyd weet nie
@@insiderugbywithmarklekker👍👍
@@insiderugbywithmark im impressed by your Afrikaans Mark ..I'm sure u used an app..
Hi Mark..i think we can expect Elrich Louw to make way for Eben Etsabeth on the bench if we read between the lines in the media..
@lionelannandale8153 so Rassie is playing his games again , hmmm
I think that Damien Willemse starts at 15, once fit. I'm happy to see Fassi being given a chance, though.
@adrianincapetown7043 me too on Fasi and I cant wait to see Damian W back in the team, he´s one of my favorites.
Am is better than Kriel, who is solid.
@mazibukomail youve been around for a year as a subscriber to my channel, so huge thanks for that. I am seeing Kriels game grow and that can only be good, I am also a fan of Am as well.
Am is not better!!
For the last 1-2 years Kriel been much better than AM in my opinion
Nice channel. Good job. Howzit from Saffa land. We're honored to play our comrades in competition. Let's go Bokke!
@brandonfaber4987 hola, welcome to the channel and thanks for the shout out. Epic games ahead, enjoy.
Etzebeth trained on Monday and today, so is likely to start, with Nortje moving to the bench. I think that Marco Van Staden will probably drop out of the 23. Elrich Louw and Kwagga Smith to cover the back row.
@adrianincapetown7043 I am hearing different things on Eben, so it could well be another Rassie mind game thing eh......thanks for sharing your thoughts
Hey Mark, I'm sure you can't wait for Saturday. Just on Fassi, in the press conference, Rassie did say that Willie's role has changed, helping the new guys coming through so he won't be there in 2027. With 2027 it looks like Fassi and Damian Willemse will be the fullbacks, Willemse being 1st choice. I can't see Razor being bold and make changes, so we'll see the slowness of TJ again. I'm sure you also want to see how McKenzie will cope with pressure.
@TheBuildKingR you arent wrong, I am already having sleepless nights, thats not good so early in the week....... Yes I cant wait to see Willemse back in the Boks team and I am sure under that mentoring Fassi will become very good indeed. Razor might surprise us, and he might not as well. Time will tell. I am looking forward to seeing how ALL of the ABs selected handle the pressure. For so many this experience at Ellis Park might rattle their bones, we will wait and see.
@@insiderugbywithmark I hope he suprise us with a bold decision. I want to see Cortez starting and Jordan at 15, so let's keep fingers crossed for at least a small miracle instead of what he's been giving us lately. Chat again in the next video.
I find it strange he's touted as first choice when what I saw from him was so so. I'd always see him juke and then go into contact anyways.
Love your common sense view of the game. Keep going, and go Boks!
Just heads-up.... you pronounce the M in Mmm...Bonambi, the second M is also vocal....Mmm...Bon...NaM (like Namibia, the country) then i as you said.
@roeloflindeque4055 , thank you for the comment and for the teaching, appreciate it.
Thx-one correction namely your image of the front row does not show Nche but long gone prop-the Beast.
@wesselkriel8552 well spotted and yes I know, I just love that picture.
Good video, ta Mark. 🇿🇦
@jimneversink9700 thank you
Hi Mark, its your Cancun visitor....lol. just a hand with MBONAMBI pronunciation - Break it up as Follows MMM - BO - NAM - BI - and then say it fast - I helped you with Sacha's surname 2 weeks ago and you have nailed it now - I should be a teacher... Keep up the good work Mark 🤣
How about...Snay mun for Snyman.
Love the teaching here
@@wot4922 yes... Itll work 😁😂
SO good to see Dr Rassie experimenting with Sasha and Fassi. Hey, who knows, we might just see Kolbe moving to lock. He can do it all. Lol😅
@Won_By_One yes I am super pleased to see both Sacha and Fassi in those respective slots, it means SA have intent to attack.Game on
Could be something. We can do an underarm throw lineout and Kolbe can catch it under all the very tall locks legs then go through them like croquet to score.
Cheers Mark, thank you for the content of the best sport in the world 🇿🇦
@DylanBeatt thanks for the comment, and yes, I agree.
best Rassie could pick
Wow thanks Mark for such analysis about our Golden pride of joy
@vusumuzimnculwane6036 THANK YOU for the comment
Thanks for your unbiased views Mark! I've enjoyed your contribution to our beautiful game of rugby. Can't wait for Saturdays game. My prediction is the Springboks by 10.
@eddiebezuidenhout4478 thank you kindly for the words. I have noted your score prediction, now lets see. Above all else, enjoy.
The absence of South African teams in the Super 12 is a significant loss for New Zealand rugby. Over time, this could have serious consequences. As the saying goes, "Iron sharpens iron," and without that high-level competition, New Zealand players may struggle to maintain their edge. The impact of this loss to NZ may become more evident in the coming years.
@7101275129087 thank you for your contribution. Yes, many think that it is a huge loss, and align with your thoughts. We will need to see how the rugby landscape pans out in years to come.
The All Blacks seem to be riding on the legacy of past generations. Their current performance is not as formidable as it might appear-opponents may still be intimidated by the All Blacks' history rather than their present abilities. Razor, as a coach, might not fully realize that this team isn't as dominant as it once was.
@7101275129087 interesting comment, thank you for making it. My opinion on this is I dont think the All Blacks are at all riding on the legacy of past generations. The team, and the coaches know that the rest of the world has caught up, and passed us. The challenge now is to rebut that by putting together a new era of All Black rugby. It takes a little time. We will see and I thank you for your comment.
Four 7s, they must want speed over size
I think you are right @MrCarlsanders , thanks for the comment
Mark my mistake.. Arendse was misspelt. The last SE is pronounced Mike SU
Felix Jones was Attack coach with South Africa and to the best of my knowledge was hired by England as an attack coach but due to some internal goings on he's ended up as Defence coach, seems Sinfield decided to stay and he held on to attack leaving Jones to do a job he probably didn't want. He's probably seen that Sinfield is calling shots that Borthwick should be and decided he's out and he is correct.
@errisgloshfan excellent sharing there, thanks for educating me on that one. Lets see where Felix ends up, Lions, SA, or Fiji !
of interest - rugby does not hold the level of interest it once held in NZ . it was almost a week before i even heard that the championship was on and that Argentina beat the all blacks
@msf2126 fascinating comment, would you consider yourself as an ardent rugby fan?
I’m nervous. I don’t think Papalli or Blackadder will worry the Boks. I’m picking the Boks to win by 12 plus points
@ManMountain1974 thanks for the prediction, lets see
Mark I like to with regard to pronounce of Arendsa. A pronounced as U REND pronounced as RENT and SA as SU. The meaning of the surname is is as an Eagle! Thank you for your videos Mike
So could we see psdt at lock with bjdickson in at no 7,its certainly going to if this is the case change the bench impact from a possible 7 - 1/6-2 split to a definite 5 - 3 split
Thats what we have got, yes. Thanks for this comment
At the moment springboks depth and quality in the loose forwards are far superior to the ABs, no. 8 however is clearly in favour of the ABs. I know this is about the looses but just heard a news update that might interest you Mark and does change the completion a bit of the game on Saturday, moerat is out(injured like normal), and so is the viking RG(like normal), however of concern, the is now doubt over etsabeth who's apparently picked up a niggle
