- Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman and Jonny Holland to look ahead at Ireland's first Test against South Africa on Saturday.
Neil brings the latest news from the Ireland camp in Johannesburg, while Bernard and Jonny analyse how Andy Farrell's side can go about challenging the world champions.
We discuss how Springboks' coach Rassie Erasmus has been ramping up the mind games ahead of the series (01:00), and how rugby needs more panto villains in the game.
The panel discuss some of the selection calls facing Farrell this week, particularly at scrum-half, where it's likely to be either Craig Casey or Conor Murray (17:05).
We look at how the South Africans are showing no signs of complacency (14:00) since their World Cup win, given the recent record against Ireland.
And the podcast examines what areas of the opposition each side will look to expose at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday (27:02).

I want the Irish fans to enjoy our country and the people, you will 100% enjoy it. Don’t let social media give you the wrong idea. We would love to host you guys. May the best team win 🇿🇦
Thank you. You must be so ashamed of your fellow compatriots on here.
@@FR-je9bw Just trolls bro, they dont know anything about Rugby. We love rugby and we always respect our opponents. It’s gonna be 2 epic tests, looking forward to it.
There is trolls on both sides .
Ignore the ignorant people who are not true rugby fans - the Bulls fans loved hosting Leinster twice, wish we’d won the second game rather than the first but great respect and wonderful for Springboks now to be facing Ireland , a new great rival, long may it continue
@@FR-je9bw And you are also probably ashamed of some of your fellow compatriots on our shows comment sections?
I mean it goes both ways at the end of the day. Right? It can't be coming from just one side?
The hype is huge in SA at the moment, the Irish can take that as a compliment, if the Boks qnd public did not respect this Irish team, there is noways we would be as vocal.. going to be epic... go Boks..🔥🔥🔥
I totally agree. I think we should take all this hype as a huge compliment ☘
@@lizzyhanahoe4197believe me it is respet, we may be double champs but Ireland is the only side this Bok team have not beaten and believe me, it hurts lol. May the best team win.❤
We love the rivalry and we respect the Irish immensely. You will love SA and our people. Welcome and enjoy!
I was in SA last year. Amazing place, amazing people but my god... the BBQ, best in the world!
We welcome our Irish friends to South Africa. It’s going to be an awesome series!
🇮🇪
Ireland will play well, as a Saffer, I have immense respect for them and having played the game, never 'expect' to win. As for the 'banter', it's good for the game. Ireland will pitch!
Oh yes they will pitch. It's gonna be epic. I cannot wait for the kick off.
I enjoy Irish commentators and pundits. Always give fair analysis.
Cheers from Durban.
Hahaha. Stay away from Off The Ball then..
Neil nailed it in the opening comment - all the banter is really a whole lot of fun, a great change from our historical Saffa dour nonsense - a whole lot of fun!
@@BrettStealth yes!!
From a South African guy, I just want to say we don’t hate the Irish and we have genuine respect for them. Why can’t we have a good rivalry like the All Blacks. I have nothing bad to say about the Irish. Yet again the media pushing a narrative
Great podcast thanks Gents - good talking points in there. Welcome to S.A. Enjoy the visit and be super vigilant when you're out and about. Try to get to CT for a few days after you're done with JHB and Durban - lots to see and do in the Mother City and, given the exchange rate, pretty much anything you're into is affordable. I'm calling Saturday exactly the same as Bernard. Our lads by 10. Ireland will not be a pushover obviously but I have a feeling this Bok squad will do the necessary in Test 1. Best of luck to both teams 👊
Bernard Jackman is an honorary Saffa. The most fair pundit the world over.
Good discussion lads. 🇿🇦
My bags are packed and flying down to SA tonight. I have to say I also feel we have looked like we have been tired and "running on empty" for a while and with JGP, Keenan and Hanson out among others the fear is we will get a right thumping. However optimism reigns and hopefully we step up...we will have to. Regardless, the craic between the fans before and after the games should be epic so very excited to experiance SA and their amazing rugby culture.
Welcome and enjoy SA, do visit the beaches north of Durban
I don't believe that Ireland is spent for a second - they have been consistently good for the last 8 years at least. No reasopn to believe otherwise. Enjoy SA - we are proud of our hospitality and welcome a great nation of party animals to our shores.
Have an amazing time mate! I am a Saffa in Aus and very jealous it’s going to be amazing!
Safe travels to South Africa. Enjoy the games and your time in South Africa.
Cheers from Durban.
Welcome to the jungle, be sure to make your way down to cape town and the western cape to see the other side of SA.
Really excited to be hosting one of the best teams from the northern hemisphere. Cracking series ahead ❤️
Excited for a good game 😎🔥 Cheers from 🇿🇦
Great discussion, and don't mind it if there are a couple of insecure SA comments here 😂
We're more alike than different 🇿🇦🇮🇪
yeah, there's a couple of bad statements. I live in UK at the moment, and it's embarrassing to hear people say we, South African fans, are toxic :(
Will be a very good game
@@WinterWeaverFor a country of 60 million people, a couple, several even, hell make it 100 negative comments is not a bad number. People need to stop generalizing.
'A few' insecure comments. Ahem, that's generous! Bok fans in person are grand. Who exactly are these Bokke youtube commenters?
@@FR-je9bw 😂😂 I was going for some British understatement... But you're right, it's everywhere! 😱
Ireland is the cream of the crop for the Northern Hemisphere rugby. They are the one team that slips from the Springboks so we are ready and the hype is real.. While you’re staying cool, we're turning up the heat. Can't wait for an epic showdown.🏉🔥
As a Bok fan I don't think it will be an ambush at all. The Irish have been consistently good across the board since at least 2016 and there is no reason to believe otherwise. We Saffas have immense respect for Irish rugby and what it has built into - which is why we are loving this series and the hype is up there - to be the best you must beat the best! And having a quiet Ireland team makes me nervous - you know what they say about talking softly and carrying a big stick. But at the end of the day it is a sport, and sports are about enjoying yourself and giving your best on the field and comraderie off the field.
100% this. These guys being a bit nervous and kinda underselling the Irish team just makes me more nervous. If the Irish win at loftus then they can consider the whole series won even if they lose 50-0 in Durban. The pressure is all on us and Rassie knows it, hence the team he’s picked.
You're correct. South Africans enjoy their Rugby. Please don't be put of by the atmosphere at Loftus. There's always a party atmosphere there.💚💛🇿🇦
@@wot4922 I think any Irish fans would be disappointed by anything but an intimidating but welcome loftus.
Love what you have said. Sport is sport, do battle, keep respect and great camaraderie, well said! ☘
Welcome to South Africa, Neil. Hope you will enjoy the Highveld and the Indian Ocean next week
Thanks guys, this was a good one. I watched another Irish podcast and they were just talking about how the boks aren't all that and how we didn't really win the world cup, got lucky etc. I love balanced chats like this, Ireland have become an amazing team and if we're able to win a match against these guys I'd consider it a success. My gut tells me it'll be one each but obviously hoping for a 2-0 as a bok fan. You guys say we lifted you in the URC but you've majorly lifted us as well, enjoy the new rivalry and playing against Welsh teams and all the rest as well.
Great show guys. Well balanced. Watch the Handre Pollard press conference from today. I will be very very afraid seeing that as an Irish supporter. Pollard is highly confident, calculated and humble. Our general is back!!!! Boks by 18 this weekend.
You guys are not serious? Maybe the translation between English and South African English have two different meanings. I thought Rassie was very tactful in the interview, and highlighted the respect that the bok squad had for the Irish players. Anyway that's was my view. Good luck for saterday, and there is a Afrikaans folk song to listen before the game.
czcams.com/video/zNKxnYcgQRw/video.html
Ons teckle hulle fcked 😂😂😂😂 eish, that song is hectic
Get off his dick! R is not god . He hasn’t ever beaten Ireland so all the pressure on Boks.
South African fan here, living in Dublin. Lads this was great to watch! We South Africans eat up any and all Rugby coverage so I'm not surprised you've got loads of us as viewers! The buzz that's been building around this tour is fantastic and I love it. The Bok-Ireland rivalry is great and these games are going to be immense. Hope you guys over in SA are having a great time and here's to a cracking game on Saturday! May the best team win!
You mean the buzz in south Africa. Can you tell your country men nobody in Ireland gives a fuck as you would realise the game hasn't been advertised anywhere 😊
Quiet is dangerous... Irish will surprise, Boks may be flatfooted and stunned in opening minutes... whiff of overconfidence. RSA Coaches a bit too relaxed. Anyway as a SAFFA, may the Irish team support enjoy the country and their time out there, many blessings lets have an entertaining game.
Love this balanced commentary - hate the one sided nonsense we hear on both sides. Lots of respect to the Irish team and people.
Doesn't matter what is said. At the end, I know these teams have massive respect for each other. And all the hype and talk is just very exciting and good for the game. I'm glad you guys are loving it as much as we are. It's going to be an epic series!
Whether it's the Irish media or sir JK and co. in NZ, we love our rugga here in the best country in the world 🇿🇦
I've been to most previous irish games going back to 1995 in SA and the stadiums would only be half full...these days it's the hottest ticket in the country. Brilliant to see!!
Really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks! GO BOKKE!!!
Honestly the people who created the animosity is those "Off the Ball" pod boys...they are really pompous and 90% of them have never even kicked a rugby ball let alone played.. otherwise we as Bok fans we are nervous and don't know what to expect especially from a defensive POV...the Books are notoriously very slow starters due to the player base being scattered all over the globe and Ireland have the URC as an added advantage..they know what's coming
😂😂😂 that's hilarious, from a guy who's background is recently barefoot and a kaross.
@@user-qe1tv1bu2fhe/she is definitely more knowledgeable than you Mr userqe1tv😂😂...let's respect people's opinions especially when it's an informative one unlike yours
@@SiyoyoStofile-kw6yhLeaning towards they rather than he/she
Yes, you are 100% correct. I'm Irish and can confirm that those guys on Off The Ball are complete clowns. They're embarrassing and don't reflect actual Irish fans. They're just media puppets pushing click bait content.
We have utmost respect for South Africa. Bring on Saturday. Hopefully a cracker with no injuries.
@@FR-je9bwlol, you're no better than those Saffa trolls mate😅. Let me remind you " they" = 🏆 x 4. Just sayin ....😅
Enjoy SA, you will be treated amazingly Irish lads and lasses!
Loving this test, wish we had GB, Hugo and Hansen to have the best clash, but both sides are not messing around, "developing for the WC" , best available sides coming out, great, love rugby. HeY SA - take good care of the Irish traveling, we know you will, wish I was there!
Don't worry. We're not a scary bunch...just very loud. I'm sure the Irish fans will be just fine here.
❤🇿🇦
Great commentary boys! As a Bok fan this is probably the most eagerly anticipated clash for quite some time! 2 highly skilled, capable teams at the top of their game. Bring it on! 👊🏿❤️
On the altitude factor, only 4 of the 23 boks playing Saturday play at altitude, hence i find altitude always q bit overplayed with international teams playing the boks..
Didn't effect Glasgow
@@SAnd-pd1ou Glasgow were brilliant, the Bulls definitely have an altitude advantage as they live and play at the highveld
Sorry to disappoint lads, but the Bulls scrum would get folded by the Boks. Ox and Frans are better than Steenekamp and Louw. The Irish pack will be in for a tough day if the ref keeps an eye on Porters hinging.
Ye had been dismissive of the Bulls in selection for a long time. Same with Munster players for Ireland. One of these days it's going to bite ye in the arse.
What a game this is going to be. I have followed your podcasts since the WC and find it informative and fascinating. Thank you.
We have just had a look at our youth (future) at a brilliant Craven Week where the speed, strength, physicality and skill level were astonishing but every second bloke heavily interested was a French scout....
I hope for no red cards and some magic this Saturday!
Do you think some of the best Craven week boys would cut it in the big time? AKA the Leinster Schools Senior Cup.
Thanks for the great commentary looking toward a cracking game! Go Boks!
Why are they saying the Irish players are physically and mentally spent? The Boks play a northern hemisphere club game and a Southern hemisphere international season, bringing players in from all over. Way more rugby. The Irish, who are mostly from Leinster, have a squad rotation between URC and champions cup. They are not more fatigued than the Boks.
It helps when you’re winning 😂😂. But yeah, don’t know how the Boks do it, feel like some have been playing almost straight through for a few years now
Simple. Six Nations.
@@FR-je9bw Rugby championship? End of year tour which is 4 to 5 weeks for SA (Irish will be touring SA for 2 - 3 weeks), Then straight into northern hemisphere club season. SA URC teams tour north for almost 4 weeks in a row, Irish, only two weeks at most. Leinster sent 2nd team to tour SA, so no, they are not more fatigued then the Boks. The Leinster players are probably the most cotton wooled players in world club rugby with their rotation, so its not an excuse.
@johnarmstrong6940 There was no NH tour last Autumn plus the Rugby Chamionship was foreshortened in 2023 with heavy rotation. No such rotation in 6 Nations which is a full on draining tournament.
They're not comparing , they're are just commenting that Leinster and Munster looked heavy footed and tired in the Semi's as did Bulls in the final . It's a long Season for everyone
Love Johnny Hollands analysis. He's a legend too.
There are very fine people on both sides
Big SA supporter but love d type structure Irish rugby s playing... Jus sad I didn't get a ticket for both games....welcome an enjoy our country ❤
The tickets sold out in 30 minutes actually. I can’t wait for Saturday 🎉
SA fans and IRE fans should handle the game and spice like two friends seeing their wives take part in a swimsuit contest. It doesn't REALLY matter who wins. they both win.
Haha. Good one!
Trust me you don't want to see most Irish wives in swimsuits. Any arrogance on your part in this context is fully justified!
and we do too. :)
From a Saffa. We love you guys, we love the hype, we all love Rugby and that's what matters. Without great competitors like you guys, France and All Blacks Rugby would not be what it is today... Let's have a great game!
Lots to do and see in South Africa. Travel with known & trusted people. Don't walk around in the streets after dark.
But enjoy our beautiful country, people and food.
Note to Neal Treacy and Irish rugby fans - Bok captain Siya Kolisi (number 6) is our openside flanker, i.e. not blindside. Pieter-Stef du Toit (number 7) is the Bok blindside. You might be wondering why 7 is blindside in South Africa .... I'm not sure, but it always has been since I can remember (1970s and before), and 6 is openside - yes, that means Francois Pienaar in 1995 was openside too...
I would start Casey, James Ryan, Bealham, Izuchukwu, Bundie and Hendshaw with McCloskey on a 5/3) bench. MaCarty and POM on the bench. I would also be tempted to start Kelleher. Not sure Farrell will make any of those selections. I would freshen it up in the second test.
Tx Ireland, for allowing our Boks to start rebuilding for the 2029 RWC with your team.
We respect you guys big time, and who knows, if we make it, it would be amazing to meet Ireland in the 2029 final if we can both make it and how special it will be if we can look back then and say it all started this Saturday in Pretoria.
u mean 2027..
Welcome to Sandton, Johannesburg. It looks more European so you should enjoy the sights and sounds as well as the diverse SA people. I really appreciate the Irish passion for the game and hope to see a very competitive contest between two of the world's current great high-ranking teams, dankie Ireland en geniet Suid Afrika.
Im expecting a hard...tense, knockout style test match..which sounds absolutely perfect....cant wait for these two rugby giants to clash
Yes, rough n ready
It will be interesting to see if both teams have evolved their patterns of play. Ireland have more coaching consistency but the impact of changes in the Bok setup are no really clear yet.
If you go back to the 2004 and 2016 tours they were fiercely contested and of course home ground advantage is huge as has been since in the results these last 20 years. However as the test teams have become more professional so advantages have become smaller. Hopefully the Boks can pull it through but it will be tight.
Trust there will still be respect between the two camps and their supporters and we can all enjoy something special
Don't agree with Jackman on not having the depth for a 6-2. Ryan, Baird and Timoney are all excellent players. Hodnett and Coombes couldn't even make the squad. Of course, we have the depth for a 6-2. Farrell has just decided he would rather have Ringrose to bring on on this occasion
this first game is MASSIVE in a short series, getting a W is a big deal.
Think Irish press are a little too negative - Rassie picked two fetchers in starting 15 to try and slow down the Irish play as we now how much they can hurt us if we allow them to play at speed
Funny how we thought NZ did that
If anything makes SA play harder and get hyped its the constant mispronunciation of Etsebeth. Who TF is Esterbeth?
Yours is the very first time I have seen anyone reference Etzebeth being pronounced with an 'r'. Although your spelling is different, so it could be some other person.
@@TauCeti973 Watch the video, he literally says Esterbeth twice, the EU commentators and pundits do this regularly.
@@brettfleiner4906 That went right over your head I see.
Good podcast 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Love the build up. Love the spice and drama. Should be a cracking series. Reminds me of the build up to the Lions 2009 tour. Glad Ireland are heading there rather than coping out for Japan or Oz or Argentina
@@brianhourigan I think we would have been better to do a number of development tours this year and develop depth. Our main guys look very tired and I think two bad beatings could have a bad effect on the team going forward.
the biggest test since the worldcup, very exciting
I like this hype, it raises the stakes and it's a win-win for Rugby fans. I am looking forward to it.
Rassie doing all the marketing by himself
Good luck Ireland. Don't believe the press. South Africans love Irish rugby and their passion for the game . We love playing you and love you more if we beat you.😂😂😂
We Irish ❤ the boks and supporters! Fantastic bunch , great banter and immense respect for from side's and fans alike! It's going to be an epic series regardless of who takes it!☘️ 💪🥳😁
We are going to have a good game of rugby that's all we look forward to , a win is always what you want and sometimes you don't get it
SA had a 20% success rate off the tee in that RWC Pool game. That, coupled with the fact the test was all but a IRE home game that day - It wont be a 5 point game when SA get to play at home.
Playing in Ireland SA goes thru same issue with crowd supprt ....shouting for Ireland. Enejoy it 😅
Welcome to SA! This is some press hysteria, but also a valid attempt to drive viewership.
JGP and Keenan are the two players who are really irreplaceable for Ireland. This is a huge test for Craig Casey and Jimmy O’Brien. If they can rise to the occasion it will be brilliant for their careers and the future of Irish rugby.
Enjoy the game, my prediction is much tighter than yours 🤷🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️
Rassie doing his job and screwing with the media. Gotta love the theatre.
Any word on what exactly the Irish players said about 'seeing you in the final?' Hard to believe they said that but who knows. Must have been something said.
Ahhhhh shhhhhh, U obviously missed it.
It’s a turn of phrase used as a compliment in Ireland. South Africans took it to mean something else and then ran with it. Pretty bad sportsmanship but there you go.
Well they either said it or Itzabeth is a liar
@worldchampions4379 Etzeberh was concussed after being rag-dolled by James Lowe. Not that he has ever been quick on the uptake.
It was presumptuous as we saw SA scrape into to the final, literally one refereeing decision away from being out!
Bulls have better props then the Boks??Really.😂🤣 Ox, Vinny, Frans, Trevor and Thomas.
Wilco, Steenkamp, Matanzima who else??? Come on guys better then the boks. Irish media. Hayi khona
He mentioned for pure scrummaging ability and said they are not as good around the pitch. Not sure if its true tbf.
@@nogamenolife705 not convinced on pure scrumming ability either...
Ben reading that Osborne may be at 15. I'm not sure I like that for this game. He does not have much experience there but they must be seeing something in training.
I’m worried we (SA) may lose this one. This Irish team is no joke, and we haven’t beaten them in a long, long time. We cannot afford to take this lightly.
Watching tomorrow with optimism! Ireland are not Leinster! Farrell is not Cullen ! Not another team in the urc. Would put up with him ! ? ? ? Cullen ! Furlong was the best tight head in the world! Now he could not lock out Dundalk seconds
I fear for the poor Irish players because they don't know what we know 😢
I'm sure they're shitting their pants🙄
Pls inform me, Ur a real holder of secrets. They beat us at the RWC U dunce, same team plus minus. What?? Pray tell don't they know.??
@user-qe1tv1bu2f I want to know aswell!!
I fear for us that so many saffa’s have this level of arrogance. Irish are no joke and we’re setting ourselves up for an upset if we start counting our chickens already.
I love a mystery.
Also, the world cup pool game. We lost because Manie had a shocker off the tee. Not that it matters. We lost. But yeah. We coming for you these next 2 weeks
Sober discussion🇿🇦
Ireland has the same opportunity as Bokke. Who wants it more.
🇮🇪 beeeen yapping. im taken aback as to why the surprise to have riled up bokke fans
Exactly bro.
There’s amnesia across all platforms
@@dumingwenya7388 amnesia is exactly the word I had in mind lol ay isingisi 😂
Fell asleep after 2 min, spice it up biys
Expect the boks to win by 20+
The best team in the world is currently South Africa.
Ireland have an opportunity to challenge this. The results will tell.
RTE hugely popular in SA LOL!
It's part of creating gees.
Going to be in Durban Lads come have a pint at collegians. #GoBokke
Incredibly negative. Emotional. Surprising. Leinster clearly struggle to get up for urc post e.c. this team were an inch away from beating n.z and s a in w cup, then won 6 nations. S.a. should be favourites but god we are emotional. Nearly same team was best ever assembled few months ago🙄
Ireland is missing some key players. I am sure you will bring you A game but will it be enough? I am expecting a twickenham 2.0
Yup, they are. But SA is also missing Wiese, Lood, Wilemse, Kleyn, Kitshoff, Moodie 🤷♂️
Hope we both turn up. Would love a game as entertaining as in the WC 🙏
@Tomk79rhby true but weirdly enough I don't think we are weaker despite all those guys not playing. The depth is very very encouraging
@Burninglash yup. We're lucky with our depth at the moment. Difference in player numbers I guess.
Hope you know Ireland going to get absolutely steam rolled on Saturday … the boks are going to ripe you guys a new one .. good luck … you gonna need it . The World Cup squad pales in comparison to who you facing on the weekend. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
SPRINGBOKS ALSO 2021 BRITISH AND IRISH LIONS NOT ONLY BACK2BACK RWC WINNERS
Your caps lock is on mate...
SA twitter will forget all racial issues and problems in SA just to wind up another nation. Even with banter it's "Stronger together".
czcams.com/video/O07r7nkjUng/video.html
tbh most problems in SA are economics-based, in my opinion. The worst racists I've experienced are the whites who left the country years ago (I know cos I'm one of them) - but it's heartbreaking to see those expats still talking like it's the 1980s
Cooney should be there instead of Murray.
When they do say something like "See you in the final" maybe its best to keep quiet
😆😃😄
@@nevillepieterse9983 quite still or quiet?🤣
I think it was intended as a compliment from the Irish. They obviously have to believe that they (Ireland) will be there, and saying that the other team will be there was saying that that they think they are good enough to get to the final. I don't read it as being arrogant at all.
@@mikezog1030it was. But some people would rather be wilfully ignorant
I hope our TV license money ain't used to pay for your holiday.
Well it isn't being used to broadcast the test series anyway.
Will IRELAND ambush the Springboks and cause a shocking upset 😡
Ireland keeps quiet. Also:
RTÉ sport posting a 45-minute video
🤥
I am very wishy washy about this one. I really don't care if either Ireland or the boks win. If the bok win its wow we all expected it or if Ireland win its gonna be news around the world and anybody can spin & disect it as they wish. The point is there is nothing in this but just the expectation of a good game dat all. Ireland cannot take anything back to win a World Cup & South Africa need to move on from the past🎉🎉❤
If Irish fans were realistic, they would want to get over the quarter final voodoo first. Forget about winning the worldcup.
South Africans, nothing to see here anymore. These same pundits hyped up Ireland for a couple years prior to the WC. No WC, no Champions Cup, no URC, no Johnny for the Irish. Lets leave and go back to tussling with the ABs. These pundits....not the fans I dare say are meek now.
Facts 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️
No they didn't HYPE this irish team pre world cup. We had an impressive win rate and were ranked World no 1 for 17 straight months and every right to enjoy what was for us unprecedented success..why not? For a rugby nation that is small and was a rugby basket case for decades why wouldn't we enjoy it back then. And after the WC the Boks were back in the position as no 1 and aknowledged as such. All that rubbish about being "best in the world" was never ever said by any irish media FYI but as on that video ALL non irish I hope when I fly down to SA tonight the fans are more pleasant then the online commentators.
@kerrylass2 Nonsense, Rob Kearney & Jamie Heaslip were planning the Champions open bus parade b4 WC started. As usual bye bye at QF. They never learn.
Boks by 12-15 points
@@SAnd-pd1ouwhere do you see either of those on this panel you muppet
Utter BS click bait.. the Irish media are the ones trying to hype this.
Clearly didn’t listen to the link did you 😂
@nmn9166 nope I didn't, Just read the click bait headline
Izuchukwu, what da fck is that??
Racist much?
I saw a few comments of the Irish fans saying "Rugby is Irelands 3rd sport, we dont even care about this series" like who plays gaelic football and hurling? what no name irrelevant sport is that? SA has indigenous sports too but do we claim that as our main sports? No! because we play WORLDLY sports. We dont live on an island like you guys do and are not ignorant about other countries cultures.
I don’t echo the not caring sentiment. But what rugby is to South Africa. GAA is to Ireland. If there’s more than 5 houses beside eachother in Ireland. There’s a gaa pitch too. Bit ironic of you to talk about someone not having respect for different country’s cultures while you blatantly wrote that to disrespect ours
@@ItsBellers That is BS because if you guys had won last years RWC. You would be claiming rugby as the best sport and boasting about being world champions. GAA and hurling is only considered 1 and 2 sport because you guys refuse to have anything English/British considered as the best sport in your country. You guys are of nationalist cowards and you will be exposed in this series trust me. And what you mentioned about irony....just remember to take your own advice
@@ItsBellers this is just BS. If you guys won the RWC last year, you would be shouting and singing that you are world champions and boasting of your achievement. Then GAA and Hurling goes out the window. the bank of ireland invests more in rugby than GAA. You only consider these sports as 1 and 2 because of you dont want to consider anything invented by the English/British as your main sport. You bunch of nationalist cowards and your country will be exposed in this series

Do these guys mispronounce afrikaans names on purpose? Seems strange they refuse to say the names correctly. If the commentary during the games get it right, it makes you wonder if these guys ever actually watch the matches. Maybe they do it on purpose.
