- The First test between World Champions South Africa and Six Nations Champions Ireland was played in Pretoria yesterday at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Ranked no 1 and no 2 in the world respectively there was much on the line in this game. South Africa chasing revenge for their loss to Ireland in last years rugby world cup and Ireland wanting to take down the world champions at home.
In this episode of Inside Rugby with Mark I take a look a what turned out to be an epic battle between the two sides, giving my honest and raw opinion.
Don't forget to leave your comments below the video, citing areas that I might have missed, or where you might respectfully disagree with me.

Love you`re content mark :) hope you are safe, please keep it up, your honest and none bias opinions are a breath of fresh air :)
Thank you very much for the comment. I will indeed. Rugby first
As a Springbok supporter and South African...well done world Champs...Ireland respect...you are a deserved adversary.
Well said, thank you for sharing.
Yay Springboks !! credit to Ireland though. Excellent defence on display
Thanks so much for the comment, yes big on both sides.
That bomb squad penalty try was phenomenal! If that doesn't scare other countries' players, I don't know...
Agree.....Thanks for the comment
that Bok scrum was a destroyer!! Total domination
Ohh Mark, us boomers don't understand the booing thing, but it is afterall a sign of respect and maybe we need to embrace it. Yes penalties was concerning on both sides. On that note TMO's slowed all games down, counterproductive to all laws introduced I would say. I think the Boks will have a lot of homework to do this week. Thanks to the Irish for bringing it on for full 80 minutes, you caused a guy scratching on 70 to smoke a full packet of 20's. 😂😂😂.
Thanks, Mark you must watch the latest from Eggchaser and Jonathan Buhrs who were both at Loftus.
Come on people help Mark to get to 100k👍👍👏
Yes, I've also subbed to all 3 awesome channels: Mark, EggChasers and Jonathan. Great vids and commentary. 👍🇿🇦
Toby you are a legend mate, thanks for that one. Yes us Boomers like the traditions maybe a little too much sometimes. I say it in honor of my Grandfather Hugh, who taught me to always respect the opposition.
I would LOVE to have the budget to travel and visit and make content from various rugby nations across the world, I will just work harder.
Well presented and considered, thank you kindly Mark
• Yes tough,Tough, TOUGH Game this
This is only the start of the Irish siege, mark my words
They came to ZA play seriously and leave deep impressions in our green parks‼️🥂
Great stuff…remarkable encounter.
👊🔥

Indeed and thats what we should expect between No's 1,2 in the world, brilliant stuff for all rugby fans.
Pretty amazing game tho I didn't like casey getting injured, he was playing his best game ever up until that point. Those james lowe incidents...Jesus. Still Ireland really didn't accept the word die and I love them for that. A win in durban would be brilliant.
Thanks for sharing, what this game did achieve is a higher tv rating for game 2 thats for sure.
Good analysis Mark!! South Africa was the better team, Ireland was well off their normal quality and some really dumb penalties by Porter and Kelleher, and Lowés mistakes were killers. But we have to have less influence from the TMOs, in the disallowed try which would have made the game 13-13 and brought it to a different level of intensity and excitement, the TMO penalizes Ireland for a supposed foot in the ruck but ignores a neck roll by Le Roux, so if calls are not going to be equal stay out of the game. any way the second test will be great, though with all the injuries I don´t give us much of a chance. Rugby is in a good place, respect to all the top teams.
By the way Mark I, I saw you on a runners coach channel, he was analyzing your form, it´s a small CZcams world, I hope the trail running is going well.
@MorrisdeSaucer Morris, thanks so much for the comment. I think there was enough for Ireland in that game to go to Durban believing it is possible. Ref and TMO aside SA deserved that win in my opinion, but Ireland were close.
Ha ha, yes I was on that channel, running is going great thank you.
Keep enjoying the rugby, TEST 2 coming up
Hi Mark from Durban! This game took rugby to a new level! The passing between players on both sides was sublime. The tackling too was bone crunching. What a game and kudos to both teams for a brilliant game. The second verse in Durban will be same as the first! Great Rugby!
Hola Durban....I bet the city is coming alive this week with rugby fever, agree with all of your comment. Nkosi sikelel' Afrika was special too.
Good man Mark. Well done SA. Not upset as an Irish fan. Rub of the green was with SA, but they deserved the win. They were great at the gain line. Looking forward to revenge next week & hopefully we succeed there.
No you won't. Your going to lose by a larger margin
@@user-qe1tv1bu2fon these threads there is always a loud mouthed Saffa 😂😂😂
Thanks for the comment, this surely sets the Durban game up to be a cracker. Enjoy.
Apart from their all over fantastic defence, the Irish were very menacing at the break downs. This has put a lot of pressure on Faff de Klerk and slowed the ball down for the Spring Boks. The game could easily have gone both ways. Glad for the partisan Saffas to win.
Fantastic to have these tests on again. Thanks for the video.
FORZA BOKKE!!
Became interested in rugby after watching T8m from Eggchasers. Now I have found your channel😀Ireland certainly did not give up. Looking forward to next week’s game. As a South African, I loved the rendition of our National Anthem. She looked beautiful, sounded beautiful, and drew the crowd in. Glad you are safe after that hurricane, from the Cape of Storms.
Hola in the Cape of Storms.....So pleased that you found my channel and you are part of the rugby family. Tim does a wonderful job at Eggchasers.
Next weeks game will be awesome for sure.
Thanks for the report. You aways give a great review.
Thank you very much.
Ireland handed South Africa 2 free tries. Both from very bad mistakes. I think that stat is amazing because it would make the game 13 - 20 to Irlande. However, that is Test rugby. You cannot make these types of mistakes. The margins are so fine and South Africa rightly took advantage. The sign of a good team. It just makes me believe that Ireland can play badly, yet stay in a game against the world champions and even win it. Nobody would have seen that coming. There is a feeling of the first game against New Zealand all blacks in that three test series where over a 20 minute period, the all blacks ran in a few scores to put the game to bed. Yet, there was a feeling that Irelands mistakes cost them and they didn’t click. I have this same feeling this time. Something may be coming next week..
Thanks so much for sharing your views. I am 100% sure we are in for another cracker next week. Enjoy
I think both Pollard and Crawley missed kicks that would normally go over in their sleep. Pressure!?! The TMO had too much influence with on field decisions. Every single one went against Ireland. If the shoe were on the other foot we know Rassie would be making a new video lol Kelleher had a neck roll…there’s no way he intentionally got that ball back on purpose. The next disallowed try….I could agree with that one not being given as it was hard to see if it was touched down or not. Same with Lowe getting the ball back in play…not enough evidence either way.
Probably a draw would have ensued …however I feel that would have been a smash and grab rather than a victory. So yes I believe South Africa deserved to win the game…but I have more time accepting if they ought to have due to the TMO interventions. TMOs are ruining the game and turning it into the NFL! Use them for thuggery and deliberate fouls play only. Ref ought to be the ultimate authority. Well done SA and looking fwd to next weekend. We are not the same team without JGP, Hansen and Kennan.
Thanks for sharing your views. Aside from the mandatory errors that happen in every single game of rugby, the win was deserved by the Boks. For me the difference was purely in one act, that Bomb Squad try, nothing was gonna stop that. Onto Episode 2 in Durban.
Thanks for the review Mark
My pleasure!
Great video Mark
Thank you
Mark uitstekende kommentaar! DIt was n spannende wedstryd! Groete uit LIma Peru . Ek is bly jy is olraait met die Hurricane!
@toscabrutus1781 Hallo ons vriende in Peru. Ja Aunty Beryl is weg en ons almal glimlag weer. Dankie altyd vir die kommentaar, 'n epiese speletjie was dit, geniet volgende week.
Our boys are the world champions, and they deserve it.
They are at the moment, yes, enjoy it. Thanks for the comment
O'Mahoney was a bit off, old dog miles. Still will play next week, but Baird on sooner.
A bit off? I forgot he was playing.
Great content Mark
Thank you very much.
Fair play to say Mark, respect the kicker. Its always respectful in Ireland and nobody can't say we don't. I think it's very unrespectful to not do so. And even more was to turn a chant that was just in the moment at the world cup into a kind of sluer. Not what Rugby is about that doesn't do the saffas public well. Come on? Don't insult a nation because of a game of rugby. We wouldn't start singing, back to black from Amy Whitehouse.
Thanks for the comment.
As an Ireland fan I thought South Africa deserved their win. Ireland were probably on the wrong side of a few decisions but you should be able to win without the officials help. Ireland were probably off their game in the first half as Farrell said in his interview afterwards, which gave the South Africans easy access. However, I am proud of how my team fought back into the game and if a few marginal things had gone differently we could well have won. Positive aspects were how well young Osbourne went at fullback. He is definitely a viable back up for Hugo Keenan and in fact adds some of his own attributes to the role. However, the main positive was how well Doris went. He has had a number of MOTM performances but this was different. He announced himself as Ireland's captain for the foreseeable future. I think Ireland will take a lot out of this game and I think they will be better next week. I think O Mahony has played his last game for Ireland.
Neil, thanks so much for the comment. I think the Boks first try put Ireland a little on the back foot, it was a quick start. It took time for Ireland to build into the game.
I continue to be impressed with Osbornes evolution and I mention him in every video I make about Ireland. He will just keep getting better IMHO.
I love the way Doris plays the game, he is a born leader, brute, powerhouse and he definitely had one of his best games on Saturday.
Thanks for your views on OMahoney, I agree.
I wouldn’t call disallowing Lowe’s try “marginal”. They missed at least two offences from SA and invented one for Ireland to disallow it. Never seen any quite as bad except the Mike Phillips “try” years ago.
Nice commentary Mark. As an Irish fan I was on the edge of my seat for most of the match, with my SA neighbour sitting alongside me. We’re are still friends 🤣 When SA got that very early Try was concerned that they might steam roll away but they didn’t.
Thought Jamie Osborne settled into 15 jersey really well, Craig Casey had the best game I’ve seen from him, such a shame he went off that way. Caelan Doris was an amazing warrior, so was JVDF. 3 TMOs went against us which I thought was v harsh, but that’s how rugby can go.
Loved how we never gave up, if you listen to the full version of “Ireland’s Call” in the last verse it says, “we will fight until we can fight no more” makes me so very proud.
Thanks for all your hard work, love your channel. 👍☘🇮🇪
Thank you very much for the comment, and I am glad that you are still friends with your SA neighbor, another game ahead to test the friendship again ha ha. The only question mark for me was Peter O Mahoney and a few have since echoed that thought. Injuries to your team will have an impact next weekend. Stay well and enjoy the rugby.
@@insiderugbywithmark I love POM, he has been a warhorse for over the years but the body can only take so much. Excited for our younger players, great and tough experience for them in SA. Hope our injuries are not going to be too many for this next game.
Tough place to go to play. Ireland are rebuilding so was pretty pleased with the performance. Ref was shocking. But SA deserved the win.
Those who go to SA to play rugby do so at their own peril.
Great game despite the result. Looks like Casey and Sheehan will be out next week. Thought Kelliher was fouled with a neck roll for the Lowe try, Doris got the ball down and the ball hit Lowe's leg so he was out. Didn't get the rub of the green on this occasion but they were all marginal calls and a toss of a coin. Ultimately, I thought SA were the better team on the day so hat's off to them and looking forward to next week.
Yes, SA deserved the win. Rub of the green went both ways, as a neutral speaking, next week should be epic, again. Thanks so much for your comment
Looks like Sheehan will be out for quite a while......ACL.
It wasn't Sacha's debut for the Springboks. He made his debut against Wales 2 weeks earlier and scored 5 points with a 52 metre penalty and a conversion.
Did I say "debut", sorry about that, yes I watched that Wales v SA game too. Bad me, thanks
@insiderugbywithmark no worries Mark. Thanks for a great podcast.
Hi Mark, just to let you know, it was in fact Sashas 2nd run.. he came in in the 2nd half against Wales two weeks ago in which he slotted a 52m penalty without seemingly breaking a sweat.... thanks for your great video
Hi Mark. I just discovered your channel, very good analysis. I live a few kilometres from Loftus and Pretoria was pumping yesterday. We love our rugby! Great game. No. 1 and No. 2 rated locking horns. Respect to Ireland, formidable team. Boks got a good win, breaking the losing streak. Yay! Cheslin Kolbe is a very special player! Gonna be interesting in Durban this weekend. Go Bokke! 🏉🇿🇦🥇
@Wildlife_SA. Hola.....Wow, I bet it was an amazing place to be yesterday and to enjoy all of that energy. Hoping Durban turns it on next week. Thank you for your comment, I hope you stick around.
Casey concussion doubt he is playing next week, I could be wrong (words rugby protocol )
yea sad but health first needs to be stood down it was a fair tackle RJ came through and nailed him clean the ground is so hard that anyone hitting that is going to feel it. Over all fair result Boks deserved the W as an Irish fan I thought some of the calls and interference by the TMO was headscratching but bad calls on both teams. Only thing that was really bad was the DJ in the Stadium he played sound clips on Irelands kicker after he missed "emotional damage" yet not on Pollards misses and during the Casey incident when medics and players were worried, on both sides may I add, the DJ started to play music to slag off casey all in all not a good look. My MOTM had to be PSDT with Dorris a close second both were heads above all but PSDT just seems to get better with every game never less than a 9/10 he's some machine.
@nevillepieterse9983 thanks for the comment, could well be.
@joelyons886 thanks for sharing your views. If i made the video again I would mention PSTD many times, he is, and was outstanding as you rightly note.
With this new gameplan, Libbok is our best 10.
Hey thanks for sharing your view. Appreciate it
Great content Mark! I reckon Kwagga back to bench and Roos at 8 this week? You see any changes? Great test!!
@raymondbutcher989 Thats a great call, yes Kwagga back to the bench, with Roos starting, and I would start Sascha, and I would inject Grant Williams earlier in the game, 50mins in or so.
Can't beat the little Irish boy singing irelands call in Dublin.
Thats brilliant as well.
I agree Mark the booing must stop, it happens in tennis too.. Totally unacceptable
Thank you.
You don't understand Loftus. That stadium is just insane and should be left just the way it is. There is no place like it on earth. Everyone must experience it in their lifetime. Very special place.
Hi Mark, Great review. The Springboks need to concentrate on not losing the ball at the breakdown. It was a concern to see how much ball was lost at the breakdown.
Hi there, great point and when you are up against the Doris's, Van der Fliers and others you need to be on point. Lets see how Part 2 pans out in that area. Thanks for the comment
I'm sure it's only Ireland when games are played at home there’s no booing at the kicker.
They dont do it in Cancun.
My goodness - you sound just like our friend Craig "Hammo" Hammond! Great commentary of the game. Btw - Arendse - said "R ind sa"
Thank you and HELLO CRAIG
Stay safe Mark.
All good, thank you
What a fantastic match, SA looking like world champions and Ireland showing they are right there. Probably worth at least one of the three decisions that cost them 21 points possibly
Thanks for the comment, it was a great game and now we await Part 2. Enjoy
Boks deserved the win no quibble there. The disallowed James Lowe try was nonsense imho. There was no deliberate hook off feet. The Bok player tackled Kelleher and the ball shot out, simple as that. Any other day it was pmay on. This tmo chines in way too much. Well done SA🇮🇪
Looking forward to Game 2 , enjoy and thanks for the comment
There was very little in the game bomb squad scored a great try, but when they came on they lost a penalty in the scrum and Ireland scored 4 tries two were disallowed on another day they would be given and this could have been very different. The Conor Murray try was a piece of magic 3 forwards and one back cut SA defence to pieces. SA just deserved to win I think it will be as competitive next Saturday hopefully the result changes…😂🍀
Thanks for the comment
The impact of Tony Brown as backline coach can already be seen,NZRU really slept on this guy.
Thanks for your comment. Dont think NZRU went to sleep on Tony, they actually offered him the ABs coaching job in 2019, he choose to turn it down and went to Japan with his best mate Jamie Joseph, when that ended Rassie called him and now he's there.
Great game, both teams not at there best but both showing class at times. I think Durban test will be even tougher as I believe both teams are going to improve. I hope my Boks bring there A game or we will lose. In Rassie we trust.
Thanks for the comment...." not at their best" I think perhaps thats because what they were each up against, it was tight, intense and a real arm wrestle, real test match rugby I thought.
@@insiderugbywithmark 👍
For me as a supporter of the Boks it was a good game South Africa must wrk on there mistakes they make ❤❤
Ireland got real lucky SA took their foot off the gas
And I am sure that they will, thank you for the comment
Hi Mark, as an avid Bok supporter I'm glad we've negotiated the first real hurdle after the WC and the welcome green shoots apparent of a new, hopefully improved game strategy I'm even more convinced Rassie should take the plunge and reinvigorate the squad.
For the 2nd test I hope to see even more bold selections...
Start Feinberg-Ngomozulu with Willie on the bench with Faf and Kolbe for a traditional 5:3 split while in the fwd's bring in Roos at eight with Marx and Wilco Louw starting...
The bench shuffle must be: Tom du Toit, Groblaar, Koch RG Snyman and Kwagga Smith...
Louw demolished the Leinster pack singlehandedly while Malherbe was a shade of his normal self so gets dropped for a wake-up while du Toit was spectacular in the Prem for Bath.
The Boks MUST dominate the Irish pack from the get-go to draw in Doris an van der Fleur, they kept the Irish in the game last time around....
Williams will add genuine pace for an expansive game and Moodie will add his own special magic and keep Crowley guessing with the safety net of Willie, Faf and Cheslin there to pull the chestnuts out the fire if needed...
From my lips to Rassies ears...
@schalkspies8189 Hola Bok Supporter, thank you for sharing your views. I like those a lot. Here's the thing, you are so blessed with talent, you could select two teams that could do the job, so Rassies focus must be on building depth and experience through until RWC 2027. I suspect we will see various combinations tried, and Sasha should be one of them. Only a few days to go and we will see what he decides to do, with a win in the bag he may be inspired to change things up.
Thank you for your content. Some advice on the more difficult Surnames. When pronouncing Arendse, the emphasis is on the first vowel and a little drawn out. So Árendse. Not Aréndse. Just a tip if you wish to better pronounce. Good video.👍🏻
Thank you very much for that, appreciate it.
Thanks Mark
Very welcome
Yes I have never seen Polly miss so many tee kicks
It happens to the best (except Dan Carter.....ha ha
Sasha's 2nd test.
YES YES YES
well done enjoyed it . i feel Boks should have scored more especially the way the game went in the first half
Thanks for the comment
De Klerk did play in the RWC game
Yes
The ref and the tmo team had s shocker of a game
Absolutely, favored ireland at the breakdown and scrums way to much!
Zzzzzzzzzzz

@@christianloots495 what match were you watching. 😂😂😂😂😂
Perhaps Sacha will start next week and Polly on the bench?
I am wondering that BUT, it could be a big call and a good one.
Hi Mark, like your views. Pronunciation of Arendse's name needs some work. Thanx
Yes, I have been told.......thank you, Enjoy the rugby
Irish play good rugby ...SA you deserve to be World Champs. Next week will be thunder 😂.
And perhaps a little lightening........
Was not a great game. Tense yes. But i think the hype was to much before the game
There you go, thanks for sharing your view.
I feel sorry for the Irish they played their guts out but when Rassie Unleash Hell the 6 SA Biblical Giants Destroyed the Irish hope no one can stop the Springboks runaway freight train
The Irish got better in the second half, scored 2 tries, and 2 chalked off.
@kitdyer8968 if I had Grand kids I would be telling them about the Biblical Giants for years to come, love it.
I don’t think the bomb squad actually made any real difference.
Penalty try....?
@@truthandjustice6838 okay, yes that was notable. But other than that I didn’t see an obvious lift in SAs game when they came on.
haha, I was just going to say. you clearly did not watch that last Bok scrum - THEY DESTROYED!!
@@DavidSmith-yi8oumust agree with you apart from Marx I thought our defence suffered. Mostert and Etsebeth subbed too early in such a tight game. Wouldn't have taken off Faff. His cover defense is immense. Williams may provide speed but his tackling not up to Faffs. Snyman must decide if he is a tight forward or a ballerina. And the wrong lock got picked from Stormers. Dickson was the revelation during URC. Kwagga should not be fielding kick offs. Rather PS Du Toit or Mostert. We have two of the most dangerous and opportunistic wings in world rugby. Dont see room for Moodie. ( not in their class) Edwil vd Merwe showed that he can do the job of Arendse and also super in defence. They both lack height as with Colby but it's the timing of the jump that's the key. Somehow these guys always seem to win the ball in the sir against taller opponents. Le Roux alrhough often criticized also had a superb game taking high balls. Happy with our backline. Like Kriel but one occasion we had a 3 on one overlap and he should have passed but he ran into strong Irish defense.
I will say one thing about this test. I never saw such huge consequences from errors and the swings made an enormous difference to the final outcome. Ireland as a team can be 10 or 14 points behind but u know they can score two tries in the last 10min of a game. Glad we had the bounce of the ball to win and that scrum penalty was apt revenge for the final minutes our RWC pool clash v Ireland.
Thorough and thoughtful comment with plenty of sense throughout. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mark.
Hola
As i said to you last week mark i think we needed more power up front sorry to say the great P.O.M has past his sell by date no shame on him just to many miles on the clock i hope he freshens up next wee in saying that we fought back very wel but your country man mad two bad mistakes at the end he played great but two mad ones bring on next week.pearse had a shocker to
Hola Kevin, thanks so much for your comment and sharing your views. Good stuff......Hey when James Lowe plays bad he's a Kiwi, but when he plays well, which is pretty much all of the time, he's Irish......love it.....
Mark, do they play rugby in Mexico.
@AC-hu3xk They do, and there are two local teams here in Cancun, and during the season I will get out and show you all some footage. Thanks for giving me that idea.
It was a scrappy hard fought game. Very very poor stadium lighting.
Looking forward to the Durban game.
What happened to the lighting, do they have a new set up
We missed pennos to mark
Indeed.
SA got the rub of the green, so refreshing 😂, we suffered normally, talking about the last few that Ireland won against us, the world cup game, u know what happened at that game, but my issue is more the infringements from Ireland at the breakdowns and the scrums, think Wild Card in Australia got his analysis spot on
Thanks for sharing your views.
Have to say I disagree about Synman, it’s late and he’s keeps driving him right into the ground in front of the ref. Clearly it was worth a look and Doris had to ask and was told off for asking. SA get a pen and score controversial try, which pictures show he was in touch.
I think the ref was SA - just joking.
Thanks for sharing your view, appreciate it.
You're right. Booing the opposition's kicker is disrespectful. I can't speak for the other countries, but South African rugby fans disrespected the Irish due to the Irish fans' lack of respect towards the Springboks. Respect engenders respect and the same goes for disrespect.
Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts on that one. Keep enjoying the rugby
I don't agree, having the crowd boo the kicker makes home ground home ground
Thanks for sharing your view.
Pollard was poor off kicking tee and adds little else so hope to see Manie back
You put Manie in, you take Pollard out, in out, in out, and shake it about, do the okey cokey, and turn around that’s what it’s all about!
Oh no...
@McGillivrayDavid as a neutral I am calling for Sasha, he is talent.
The SA fans are disgusting, booing the kicker and when Casey was on the floor and the medics were worried about his neck they decided to have a concert, said it before and il say it again..they are the most hated fans for a reason and they showed it once again.Both those things would not happen in Dublin
Thank you for sharing your strong opinions.
No worries mate...not really opinion...probably more fact though 😂
Irish are Springbok Biltong 😂❤
Flood lights an issue!!!!
Were they
