The problem for most of the bigger teams is the Springboks have the biggest strength in depth upfront, and the backline is now firing and ready to go. The legs are there for the rush defence with Damian Willemse, Andre Esterhuizen, Canaan Moodie, Jesse Kriel and Libbok. Ireland, New Zealand, and France are gonna have to fight to the death for the full 80.
Well written😁
All i ought to say is that this RWC is gonna be really really interesting to watch
It would be more interesting if the team strenghts in the pools were more equibly distributed. That way, all top teams have a chance of making it into the finishing four positions. This way, a 5th or 6th rated team, through luck, could play in the semi's. WR cocked up badly here.
“If we can move them around a bit and control the tempo “….. that was the narrative 20 years ago
It's the bias that media and rugby world in general have had against the power game. People want to see flash on their televisions. But the reality is, the Boks way has had huge success. They have won three world cups playing the power game. England won a world cup in 2003 playing a similar style. There are many ways to skin a cat, you don't need to throw the ball about to please the spectators to win tournaments which is what really matters.
@@connormcqueen3633Only Oz and Nz cares about the flash, hence them only ever wanting to play each other....
...most of the international rugby loving public appreciates the finer details or rugby, hence we watch rugby, and not rugby league.
Oz rugby is too focussed on competing with their other sports for an audience...
... or a dead-eye no.10...@@connormcqueen3633
@@vanrensburgarchitecturebim1641 I'd like to say that is true mate but you should talk to the average English fan these days. They are convinced the way out of our mess is to start throwing it about despite us doing that against France in the 6N when we got absolutely pummeled.
Lol did you see SA moving around ,their backs can compare with any backline and then some .Don't let the boks move Ireland around 😂
I'm a Saffa, and you should never under estimate the ABs. They will fix their game and by the end of the WC they will have make the world stand and appreciate their depth and fighting spirit. May the best team win and may World Rugby finally do something about shoddy reffing.
I'm a SAFFA too and I'm going to tell you that NZ is always going to be a world class team.... BUT.... stop giving these pretend ABs and their "Politician" coach too much respect.... they are riding on the coattails of past AB greats and they have not shown that kind of dominance to be so revered.....
What we saw on Friday with the overturned tries of Moodie and Jordan is the new way of doing things. TMO watching a hawkeye view in the booth and checking pretty much everything. If they keep doing that with minimal stoppages then we might have a solution here to a very old problem.
@Karma-qt4ji it always seems to happen in order to overturn a try. WR continue to make the refereeing the biggest deciding factor in the match which is idiotic.
@@garrymack That's intentional - they check the lead up to tries to ensure that everything was legit, knowing full well that this is where the controversy happens. I think they deserve a small amount of credit for trying to minimise controversy because that is the biggest thing ruining rugby in the recent past. They keep a constant check on foul play, forward passes, offsides and a host of other potential infringements and have a voice in the refs ear whenever necessary in the same way as the assistant referees do.
We saw this in cricket years ago - at home on our couches, we had a better view of the action than the umpires on the field did and they made mistakes. Technology was introduced and things improved dramatically - let's hope that happens in rugby. If we can get to a level playing field in terms of the application of the law, then there is a better chance that the best team will win the game.
@Karma-qt4ji I don't agree with how it's basically determined to be foul play before it's sent to the on-field referee.
I'm glad they have something but on the on field referee and the referral to him needs tidying up. Scott Barretts second yellow card offense was for direct contact with the head on Friday but they didnt even check for it at the time, hense he's been let off by the judiciary now but christ that changed the game dramatically.
Crickets DRS is great but only because the thresholds for out and not out are super precise. I wish rugby could get to that point.
Don’t write off NZ, they are a very very good rugby nation. I would be more concerned about this defeat if I was France
The QFs are all that matters. Coming 1st or 2nd in the group is almost irrelevant. You'll be facing either NZ or France, both equally tough to beat.
@@PB22559first things first is to make sure we get out the group as Scotland and South Africa will give us a good game and will tricky but we should get out the group and I’d be more confident if we did finish top of the group just to make sure the rust is gone and we are at are best
@@DS-ty2nb Being top of the group makes no difference. SA won the last world cup after qualifying from the pool in 2nd place.
@@PB22559 it might not but if we finish top then we will be ready for France/New Zealand as we will have to play well to finish top but I agree that it doesn’t make a difference
@@DS-ty2nb The QF win is what matters. Topping the pool is irrelevant.
Ireland and France are teams that have been consistently winning games over lay 18 moths , but JN and RE have seen that you need 2 capable teams to win a World Cup…again 3 steps ahead of the rest😊
Been waiting for Ireland since last year - recon bokke can’t wait
Hate to break it to you but rugby is a physical game, this constant nonsense about South Africa being power++ is the reason that they can run rings around the best teams in the world, when it matters. Saying that Ireland can handle them because we beat them at home once is ignoring how average Ireland were yesterday against Samoa. We were lucky to win that while the Springboks absolutely destroyed the All Blacks and NZ were poor because the Boks forced mistakes and placed their backline players in the way, cutting off the wide play. Based on the games this weekend (so far, France and Aus are yet to play) there is not one Northern Hemisphere team that looks prepared and ready for the WC. The truth is that we need to face up and man up, no team has ever won the WC by being anything but physical! Eat your oats boys ;-)
Now that is a comment I respect! Not because it makes my team sound good, but because it is honest and respectful.
Thank you!
Yup.
Agreed. But fear of discipline, rules, yellow/red cards might hold some teams back.
Why are you thinking the Irish/Samoa game represents the full Irish squad. Sure it was a poor performance but Porter, Sheehan, Keenan, Gibson-park, Furlong, Sexton, Aki and Earls and Conan. Almost all these would be involved in the big games.
Fiji had to change its coach recently when Vern Cotter resigned. He rarely stepped foot in Fiji over the more than 3 years he was coach. Simon Raiwalui was given the job for this world cup at short notice.
The Fiji Rugby Union is currently being run by "temporary" leadership as the previous management have been removed for apparent mismanagement.
While the new coaching team is doing an excellent job; shout out should go to the senior players like Nayacalevu, Radradra, Botia, Mata and co. For keeping the team together.
I'm English and Irish, Ireland need to just forget about the favorites tag and just play to their capacity because they can be upset if they hold back and worry about the pressure of not winning the WC while being number 1 ranked, France is the favorite. England need to just accept that they are a dark horse and the best they can hope for is an upset of the top 4 nations. At the end of the day it's about Fiji, for them to win at Twickenham is Legendary. The big problem with England is blue collar tough minded people don't play the game there, they look down on it as a posh game and truth is those posh men are not the strongest willed English people, we need more Mike Brown types who came from the public school system.
lol, the Irish pundits look shocked and worried.🤣🤣
Ireland are number 1. They need to remember that.
BMT is still to be achieved by Ireland in WCs.
Lol! 😂
Ireland living in every SA fans head rent free. 🤣🤣🤣
@@johnmc3862 yeah, together with our 3 world cups.
The SA /NZ game has really shaken things up quite a bit for this WC - for now.
Time will tell..... It's going to all be very interesting!
It has! Less than a month ago, Jim Hamilton and John Barclay were talking on a podcast about SA not even making it out of the pool because we are missing Pollard and Am. Then Wales happened and Hamilton did such a quick U-turn he gave himself whiplash lol. Still, some pundits downed the result because it was against a makeshift side and people were still going on about SA being targeted by Scotland. Put bluntly, they're findint that harder to do now...
@@Karma-qt4ji 😊👍🏻
I hope they start Jean Klyne just to rub it in
Theres certainly mystery across theis tournament with the pool of death, one side of the draw been markedly weaker than the other. A new tournament will start come the quarters and it will be who can win 3 games in a row. As a South African, gave to acknowledge that Ireland and France have been the only teams to win consistently over the past 18 months. And one of those teams could very well be gone by culmination of the pool stages. Going to be a very interesting WC. Come on the Boks. We were 20 mins away from going in as the #1 team in world rugby. Who wouldve thought that 6 months ago.
No No boys!!!
Don't change the narrative now.... keep speaking about Our Boks like they're just an afterthought... that's the Boks Rocket fuel 🚀....
We're looking fwd to playing your "Big 3".... 1 down 2 to go 👍🏻👍🏻
Ireland, we have the biggest bone to pick with you. Don’t forgot who you’re facing. Rugby brought our nation together, you’re not as hungry as we are!
😂😂😂
How exactly do you take control of a steamroller coming towards you at speed, and the steamroller next to that, and next to that…. If South Africa can keep up this intensity throughout the World Cup the other teams are in serious trouble.
This is awesome. The pressure has now shifted to SA & Ireland. France will always have home pressure, whether or not they can use that to their advantage will be telling. The All Blacks, there's no expectation for them to win now. The rest is up to them. A wounded & humiliated All Black team is a dangerous team.
The pressure is always there for all teams a wounded animal is also weaker its all about the quality of the answer
The bookies still have New Zealand as favourites lol, sorry!
They got it massively wrong in 2019 what makes you think they'll get it rite this year I'd say it's 50/50 NZ SA can only truly judge IRE and Fr after the group stages. @@Chris_Rugby
Ireland and Scotland are about to get humbled big time.I will be back here in 4 weeks with a "told you so"
Johan... Ek sê nou nie ons gaan definitief NIE die Wêreldbeker wen nie, maar ek glo nie ons kan sommer nou al begin spog asof ons al een hand op die beker het nie.
Die toernooi het nog nie eers begin nie, en ons het al menigmaal gesien, sodra die toernooi afskop, kan jy maar alles vergeet wat tevore afgespeel het. Ons het ons gatte gesien teen die Kiwi's in 2019, toe wen ons die Wêreldbeker. Net só, kan die Kiwi's nog die laaste lag kry.
Ek dink die groot bekommernis op hierdie stadium is dat ons in die afgelope 2 jaar (Ons is, danksy COVID en n Lion's toer beroof van die ander 2) nog nie meer as 2 wedstryde na mekaar goeie skofte kon insit nie. En in n Wêreldbeker, veral met die roete wat ons het, gaan ons 5 groot wedstryde na mekaar moet insit om bo te eindig.
Weereens, ek sê glad nie dat dit onmoontlik is nie. Ons moet net nie te vroeg windgat raak nie.
Fuck me they didn't do much against 15 men
They weren't that great in mt smart if the they played again next week the all blacks more than capable of doing a number on south Africa
@@johnmcintyre800The Game in Auckland is Irrelevant the world cup is in two weeks and the boks are peakimg at the right time.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. The all blacks will bounce back big time. Any one of the top 4 teams can beat each other on the day.
@@Profreegolfer I am not referring to the All Blacks,only Scotland and Ireland
The crazy thing is that this wasn't the Springboks best side. Especially in the backline.
I believe that, but this was an All Blacks side who had a bad day at the office, which is something all teams experience at some stage. The result should not be taken so seriously.
The ref is the one that controls the tempo and that was painfully obvious against the AB's
These pundits firmly believe that the Irish gon dismantle the bok the the RWC especially when the boks got everything to lose
ABs are playing mind games.😂
Haha really.. They never play to lose nor do the boks
Are you out of straws to clutch at, mate?
I made this predictions when the Boks lost at Mount Smart. I said that would be the strongest nz will get because they showed all their cards. SA didn't and it clearly showed. I'm still very critical of Nienaber and Rassie and how their selection process has been pathetic but Friday they got it spot on. All you nz fans are saying that "its easy to beat a team that had 2 yellow cards and a red card" We were dominating you since the whistle blew and at one stage it was 14 v 14 and we still dominated.
All you fan boys were raving about "jason ryan has made us a strong pack and unstoppable". He was doing these things illegally and got away with it for a year and a half. @TASanalytics pointed out a video where nz forwards drop their knee in the scrums, engage early when defending mauls and shifting the mauls illegally but ayy YOU GOT EXPOSED. No wonder you guys has the "best maul defense" for a year and half. Also, what's with your players jumping in when ever the opposition goes over the line? you trying to block all camera angles so the TMO cant make a decision? you guys are too predictable and that's why we read all your off loads on Friday. Once nz are pointed out for their illegal tactics they go into this confusion state and crumble.
Darker days are still coming for nz, mark my word.
You spot on .I said the same thing .We allowed NZ to show all their cards . And people were raving about how NZ was dominant. Rassie and Nienaber were brilliant in fooling everyone in the build-up to the RWC . They were experimenting with combinations and not giving away too much . Our game against NZ is just one set of the plan
Spot on with a reality check on nz.
Totally correct 👍👌👏🙌
Well the ABS haven’t played since the TRC the Springboks have been playing since the TRC NZ were just off and springboks were on I don’t read much into this game NZ needed that loss before there match against France I can see a black lash coming for France
Haha dream on blowhard
Going to be a great world cup. 3 teams with a big chance of winning (IR/SA/FRA). Just a shame one of them isn't England.
Don't count out the ABs.
Ireland not reaching the 1/4’s? Springboks beating NZ 35-7? Not impossible. This is not the six nations or the rugby championship. Mental mind shift necessary.
It's great to have so many teams in contention. Cards will, unfortunately, decide some of the big matches.
That's why you don't bet on sports.
@@stevenbissett never have, never will.
Looks like it was not such a good idea for England firing Eddie Jones.
TBH I dont think it would of made a difference they were bad going down under Eddie too.
Southern Hemisphere Titans are coming crush the Northern Hemisphere watch the space
😂😂😂😂
Allblacks v STH Africa game 107 minutes - 33 minutes of play . Referee needs to make decisions
Yet there were 6 tries...
The decisions were spot on which is what we all want. The game can't be quick but there is major inconsistent decisions. The ref got it right but nz should have carded much earlier for repeated offenses that first 15 mins. They were killing the game.
NZ were so poorly disciplined that they made the game much slower. Also, they knocked on all the time, so they had scrums, which they would give away penalties for, and then line-outs into mauls that became penalties into lineouts again, etc. etc. NZ were on a yellow card warning after 10 min, must be a record of some kind. And the first penalties were clear, not debatable. Also, there was an injury that took much time.
Let's see how the AB's go when the tournament starts .....it will be foolish to write them off! Funny that no one is talking about the loss SA suffered in Auckland! And ABs played with 1 player down....put some perspective in the loss.
France are in trouble! The all blacks are wounded and wounded all blacks, are dangerous all blacks!
Auckland loss was a fluke. That Springboks team that the boks rested for the ABs test in Auckland didnt play in 2 months and were rusty that first 20 min. I said if the boks keep the game close in the first 20 and start Marx then will win, they did that and they battered the ABs.
To be fair it was only a 15 point margin and in front of their home crowd. Friday the point difference was almost double that and they kept the ABs scoreless for 70 minutes before scoring.
With that said, as a Bok supporter I agree it would be foolish to write the ABs off, no sane person would. I actually have them beating France and topping their pool.
I wouldnt read too much into the Auckland match. The Springboks were rusty and conceded 17 points in the first 15 minutes. Thereafter the Springboks outscored the AB's 20-18 the remaining 65 mins. If the boks kept it tight in those first 15 mins, the score may have been a lot different.
@@mtabrahams Last year a hapless All Blacks side defeated the Boks in Johannesburg, which is a notoriously difficult place for opposition teams to win. The two teams are just as good as each other, and people shouldn't read too much into these pre-rwc games.
I would be more concerned with who is in charge of the whistle out there and the TMO influence. The first 2 penalties were clear but many were 50/50 and if that is the standard of umpiring at the RWC23 then there will be more 100-minute games due to the officials, not very entertaining, and will be a poor spectacle. No doubt that the SA performance was good and the 7-1 split on the bench shows how SA intends to play, no surprises there, and that is all they have, easy for backs to run off a solid forward pack. Can SA play that game again and again into the quarters and maybe semis? Match up any other team against SA with 13-14 players for 40 minutes plus and what would the scoreline be? Ireland is looking good and will probably make the semis.
Ire are already in trouble with strength in depth. Healy looks to be out and Kilcoyne is injured too. Lochman isn't at the required level to take on a Springbok or French pack at scrumtime.
How is Sheehan doing?
Lovin' the makeup Jamie 😘😆
Love the Bokke, love the Irish.
This WC is going to be lit!
I hope the Boks beat the Irish, and I think they're going to try throw the ball around in order to do that. But thankfully, out backline has improved and should be able to handle that.
Either way, the pool has me excited and nervous at once
So your nervous,excited about romania, tonga!
@@josephstewart516 less so lol
The usual comment on host. If he doesn't want to be doing that job (as everything about him screams for years now) don't forcë him. It does really effect the whole ireland rugby experience... makes panels job really hard and more importantly public unexcited maybe ryle or someone else who likes rugby !!
How to beat ...get English Ref like against Samoa😅
Ireland, almost slip on a Samoa leaf, pool of death, surely.
Romania, tonga,2 easy wins there
@@josephstewart516 Well that's the thing, they should be. But with Samoa a simple lineout maul away from a win, can Ireland afford to entrust the Tonga game to their second stringers, especially bearing in mind that points difference and bonus point might also be vital? Scotland have an advantage over Ireland - they play SA when they are still fresh. Ireland play SA 3 weeks into the tournament and Scotland a week later in what might well be a decider.
@@josephstewart516 Romania yes, but Tonga is unpredictable. Ireland doesn't have huge depth, and if they field a second string team, Tonga could do to them what they did to France in 2011.
Ireland is multicultural,hold that vibration and frequency and it will flow
Be afraid world...
Be very afraid!
Boks deconstructed their game ito player development last two years so results werent great. Nienaber told his assistant coaches that means a 40% paycut with every loss - and they had to buy into it - all for WC glory.
Now we are seeing it all coming together.
Changes noting - julle weet nie wat ons weet nie 😅😅 pap en braai vleis
Ireland isn't going to cut the cheese. A few weeks ago I was saying Ireland is the team to beat.
I have changed my mind.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
2nd string Ireland?
How many World Cups has Ireland won? (Ireland Zero & SA 3 Cups)
How many times had Ireland beaten NZ before 2016? Zero. Done it multiple times since though, including a tour win in NZ during the professional era. SA don't scare Ireland, they were well able to see them off last year.
It’s the 5th game in Ireland and there are only a small number of rugby players vs SA’ NZ, France etc. The Irish are kicking well above their weight and fair play. It’s your number one sport 🏉 cmon, give us some credit.

'A gulf in class' is the type of comment I would expect to year from a young rugby youtuber trying to build their channel through clickbaiting. Not from a grown man nearing retirement. Shame on you, whoever you are.
Agree with all that. But Ireland have the best chance ever to get over the line. They have the ability, they have the right coaching staff. They have the best combinations in living memory. So does France. And having homeground advantage is no small thing. Should be a memorable RWC. To quote Ireland commentator...'should be an absolute belter.....Roll on
But something that is affecting both Ireland and France already is injuries; that will continue as the tournament progresses as well. Together with fatigue, those two are RWC killers.
@Karma-qt4ji you haven't a good enough kicker
@@DiomaMurphy-Rourke He proved perfectly capable at the weekend, not only with three conversions from the touchline, but his kicking into the corners for penalties was incredible. His relative inexperience at this level is undoubtedly a bit of a concern for Springbok fans, but as he plays more and more he will get back into his stride and in the URC he kicked some clutch kicks to win us some games so we know he *can* kick. In domestic rugby (URC) he has a better kicking average than Pollard does and in the three RWC games that Pollard played in before the Wales SF in 2019, Pollard was sitting 13 from 20 (65%) but Wales (and England) will attest to the fact that you cannot rely on that.
He kicks at 76% in the URC and is the top scorer@@DiomaMurphy-Rourke
@@Karma-qt4jiIreland have only 1 injury, Healy. Everyone else will be fit. Ireland have been one of the fittest teams in the last year or so.
Sorta like the writing off the ABs after one game it's perfect really.Keep flying under the radar and take the pressure off them its music to their ears🖕
Unfortunately the AB's has traumatized the rugby world over the years and will never be written off or fly under the radar.
Don't be FOOLED by the loss to South Africa... If one of the Northern Hemisphere teams is going to WIN this World Cup it WILL be the home nation France if NOT Southern Hemisphere IS DEFINITLY going to take it, either All Blacks or Springboks. It's almost like a game of CHESS and Master Rugby Brain Rassie is Miles ahead.
Power +++😂
AB are dead. The loose forwards are loose in every sense of the word. It's power before you get backline going. AB going home early
Good thing you ain't a betting man the bookies think differently 😂
NZ played new young players to get time and where down one men for the whole game, I wouldn't write them off. NZ blast SA in championships a few weeks ago they wanted to make a come back with a full strength team.
lol excuses. you were one player short for half the game, did you watch the game or the highlights? championships old news bro
That NZ at full strength minus Brodie and DMac who only gets on their anyway. SA had a new centre pairing. Difference is SA have depth all over the field.

Rassie, when he took on the job was focused on this world cup. He even been documented to say winning the 2019 world cup was a bonus to his plans. This has been an eight year plan to win this particular world cup. Tough group, tough walk into the finals, but our squad depth must be the envy of the rugby world. And the players waiting in South Africa (Ahm, Pollard, Dwebe) would be starters for any other squad in the world (maybe bar ABs).
@Trajan2401 15 V 15 boks scored a try, 14v 14 boks scored a try. ABs couldnt do anything the entire game. Yellow cards came from pressure. Getting teams yellos carded is a skill.
Dang that is strange man make-up.
The All Blacks tried to hold back and as a result got pummeled. The critical thing is that it’s not the RWC and the Springboks bought their A games because they were under pressure after being beaten in Auckland. Don’t write off NZ yet but tough for NZ fans . Congratulations to the Bok. Awesome performance
Why would they hold back when they didnt play in a month and its their last game to get momentum for the world cup before facing franxe? So they aanted a record loss? Cope😂
As a South African, I am nervous to face the AB's in the WC, because you just know such a performance will galvanise them. I remember in 2017 after the AB's demolished us 57-0, a few weeks later we nearly beat NZ losing by just 1 point.
Hold back what? Any NZ player putting on the All Black jersey and holding back must be sentenced to 3 years of playing for England.
They got beaten the same way than in Nelsrpuit.
In saying that I agree can't write off any of the top 5 teams.
Is that why players lost their temper cause they were holding back, I think the AB are professionals mate have more confidence in your team.
I dont believe that the all blacks and springboks would ever hold back agaisnt each other. I don't think they are capable of it
These were warm up games and not the WC. Teams are holding back and players don’t want to get injured. They can say what they want, but it has to be on their minds. I’m not taking anything away from a brilliant win for SA, but let’s see what happens in two weeks. Ireland are kicking well above their weight and fair play, as they are a small rugby nation with only 20,000 adult rugby player vs the likes of NZ, France, SA and even England 🤭. The best team will win the WC Ireland 😜
Tough to beat RSA with 14 players, impossible with 13, injuries and 14 points on the board. But that's ok. Please keep underestimating NZ.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boks to smash irish
Boks will lose their discipline. Ireland will take it.
If that was a demolition what the hell was 57-0
SA is not getting it right. The team to beat is not the AB, they are overrated. The teams to beat are Ireland and France.
Ireland will choke as per usual at the cup as they always do
I feel sorry for Ireland
It's funny springboks have an awesome game v Wales a b or c side then their awesome v the all blacks and suddenly everyone's scared and in my opinion over rating them and writing off the New Zealand.
New zealand had nothing to prove so Mentally didn't turn up.
Springboks did have something to prove as they needed a big scalp before the world cup
Simple as that

Here is a thought for you Irish supporters. You won the 6 Nations against these teams, England, Wales, Italy…. They are very weak. And on this, you rate yourself as best in the world. Manage the tempo…. Yeah right. Write off the All Blacks, Springboks, Australia, Argentina at your peril. Sorry to tell you, the RWC is coming South. Again!
Who's writing off the southern hemisphere teams?
Laughable nonsense. You completely ignored the fact that Ireland have beaten all of the Rugby Championship teams in the past two years also. NZ, SA looking dangerous still, but Ireland and France are both well able to compete with them at this RWC in the pools and in a potential QF spot.
@@michaelharnedy it is laughable! 19-16 at home, in a game where the Springboks missed 7 kicking points… I wouldn’t rave about that. The wins against NZ, when NZ was at their nadir. Those days are past. Beside, two wins in how many years? I will tell you again when the trophy comes south.
@@phelansa23 I wouldn't rave about SA performance in the past few years aside from Friday either 😂 You're just blinkered by one good warm up match.

@@michaelharnedy good thing I am a neutral then, and not a South African fan. They will still beat Ireland though. I love seeing the arrogant humbled 😂
ABs had the bok at their mercy the game be for this so lets not count your chickens just yet
I knew the ABs were going to get battered because after that first 20min in Auckland, boks were the better side. When Springboks play their strongest forward pack, they sill be hard to beat. You forget that the boks held back in Aucland and didnt even contest at the line out.
So did you like the answer to that XD
@@jadenphilander8799I was thinking the same thing during the Mt. Smart game. They didn't compete at the line out, and persisted with the number middle ball on our throw, which was at 33% success rate at that point. They went for poles whereas they went for the corner for this game. These last two games have been very strange between these two teams. In Fact I would say these teams are evenly matched from 2018 to date. Ireland are looking very dangerous.
@@jadenphilander8799 What a load of rubbish. You know that how? psml
🔨🤣😅
Ireland. you beat Boks at end season. In Dublin. No kicker. and won t by 3 points only ???? And Samoa nearly upset you. Best bring your fun A game v SA. You wont be in Dublin and Sa will have a kicker.
Boks still don't have a kicker even if they beat Ireland they will struggle to win the world cup without a kicker, libbok better start practicing his kicks like there is no tomorrow
Ireland still beat you 100%. If Sexton was playing it would have been much more. Boks fans definitively need to wind their necks in a bit.
@@johnmc3862 they lack humbleness, if they beat Ireland I will wish the bokke the best and support them to retain the title
@@johnmc3862 the amount of shit talking coming out of your island last couple of years. Every Irish chat show when sa is topic it’s negative. You don’t hear from Poms Scots or Welsh. Get out the quarters. Newsflash rankings mean shit til global calender.
@@jimmyobrien8738 maybe it’s just the guys on your chat shows then. Whenever sa is topic. It’s highly critical and almost derogatory. From last RWC to Lions series and so on. Especially that twat on OTB Don’t hear same from Scot’s Welsh and even Poms. So humility is a virtue but when people talk shit all
Bets are off
ATTENTION ALL IRISH FANS 23 September Boks are gona smash your boy's.
I dectect wishful thinking..😅

Deluded. Cocky Boks 😂

I now know aussies are going to lift the cup. Moing along nicely..kiwi,s are finished..sa gone big headed..irish who know,s what team will turn up..unpredictable. france will be caught own hype..aussies to win easy and eddie to laugh back

How have SA gone big headed? How are the ABs finished? 😂 Are you trying to make yourself feel okay cause no one's talking about Australia?
@@sibusisonogabe2220 allblack,s don,t have quality any more..sa tend to dwell on previous victories..aussies to win cup mate on neutral ground..no biased kiwi ref,s here mate.

@@prudeuncle ye won,t even get out of yer group mate..ye beat a team of below average player,s. Irish and scott,s will knock ye out..😂😂😂😂
😀😀😀 Funny as
Ab's rock they have kicked SA arse time after time over the century, so boks can relish in a good win on the day. The NZ Allblacks r awesome so they had a bad hair day so what it"s a warm up game not quite a full strength side from ABs so SA b thankful the score went ur way for a change cause that will be the only time u win against the mighty All Blacks.
Surprise, surprise, a Maori with zero grace. At this point it’s such a tired trope.
@@DavyBrando Awe hit a nerve did I, some people can't handle the truth and where did you learn how to spell, and yes I am maori and proud of my heritage.
@@estherhemara2354 Well, you really ought not to be; unless, of course, a natural propensity for anti-social behaviour and a total lack of class are things you value.
@@DavyBrando Well no surprise ur racsist apartheid comments r the real u. Not once have u spoken rugby tactics u have attacked my heretage and my integrity.
@@estherhemara2354 Coming from the people whose favourite pastime is “bashing” Asians in CBDs on weekend evenings, or assaulting Indian small shop owners, i’ll say that’s very rich.
Dont forget there was nothing on that NZ v SA game SA always seem to win tests against NZ with nothing on them and it was raining the ABs are never usually that great in rain either the ABs looked disinterested too they never ever do that to NZ when its 15 on 15
Boks weren't interested in winning at MT Smart either. We saw that as a warm up hence we sent our starting XV to go on a vacation there, a week prior.
😂😂
Cope!! Record loss for the ABs. This game was about momentum and peaking to be on world cup form...ABs wanted to win this game so they can have momentum to face france...ghey olayed their strongest team anf got battered even harder by the boks.
When it was 15 on 15 the boks put the ABs underpdessure hence the yellow cards came, Boks game plan is about using every opportunity to put teams under pressure. Thats why the Springboks continously kicked to the corner. They saw a weekness in the ABs game and attacked that weakness...the cant defend a maul legally. Springboks targeted them and made it impossible for them to infrimge so the boks forced the ABs to play legally and put every form of foul or cynical play out of the ABs game early. High rugby IQ from the boks.
@@jadenphilander8799spot on mate
Springboks are drug cheats
LOL how very original.
@@Karma-qt4jiA player got Caught using banned substances they need to test the whole team
@@DavisOrbell-rx6un as with every professional team in rugby, every player gets tested regularly.
What I don't understand is the fact that it is only South Africa that are catching and punishing drug cheats. According to a UKADS report from 2019, there are over a million steroid users in the UK of which only 56% are considered to be doing it for 'body image', Wales has a clean needle clinic *exclusively* for steroid users, Scotland have had the occasional errr mishap with Craig Chalmers son being one of the ones caught, Ireland's James Cronin was "given the wrong prescription" by the NHS pharmacy and it just so happened to have a banned substance in it; he, like Australia's Ben Tune, was only banned long enough for the substance to no longer be traceable in his system - one month ban and he never missed a game. Imagine SA pulling that one with Apiwe Dyantyi.... we'd be back in isolation faster than the words stopped echoing around the room!
A BBC report less than two months ago spoke of the issues with drugs in UK sport, focusing specifically on boxing though, and another article told of the ready availability of illegal muscle drug Sarms. I am focusing on the UK side of things because I live there, but this is not local to Europe and SA, it is worldwide. So why are only South Africans making the headlines?
@@DavisOrbell-rx6un I'm pretty sure they ramdomly test everyone. But yes ok, "bad saffers, bas bad" *spank
@@hpmmiggie yeah they need a good spanking
