The empire has spoken, and have the makings to expand even further
Yeah I think that gets the pin from me, nice one bro 😂🙌
@@TheBlackJersey Keep the pin, I already have the trophy-for 4 more years🤣
Wow 🤣🤣🤣
sure bud@@mintytea8711
@@mintytea8711 This is a reaction...
They won because NZ missed their last 2 penalty kicks. You snooze, you lose. Winning 3 consecutive matches by 1 point against world class oposition, while coming from behind in 2 of them, is the definition of grit. I was cheering for NZ in the final, but what the Boks managed to do at this RWC is stuff of legends. Hats off to them!
All the springboks supporters looks a lot older now😂🙈
@@andreengelbrecht8467😂
Yeah taking the 3 is very important 💯
Naas Botha always drummed in the message that in a test match, you must take points at every opportunity.
Honesty 👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I am a Black South African and still learning the game of Rugby. But when people are complaining about the results. I struggle to argue with them. You now made a very good analysis that opened my eyes and gave me a point to also say a few based on your education. I salute your analysis.
The worst thing about Rugby are all the rules! You basically have to grow up with it to understand most of them, and one of the best things about rugby are all the rules and its bloody complexity! This is why we debate the rules and interpretation.
Yes Mike. I have never heard of a sporting code with so complex rules as Rugby. But you are right, I just need to understand the rules@@mikescudder4621
As a South African I can honestly say this is one of the best video breakdowns of the game I’ve seen. There’s a reason why we hold the All Blacks to such high respect!
Thank you for a very good video…and thanks for not blaming the ref! 🇿🇦🇿🇦
I’ll never stop sticking up for refs, they’re only doing their job 😅
@@TheBlackJersey sometimes even 4 phases at a time
From a South African, great video. Even had my wife watching ;-) We so glad we won, but huge respect for the All Black's. So close,
Good on ya mate 🤝
I love your channel. You never hold back, never what I want to hear but what I need to hear. Thank you much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 huge respect for you 🙏🏿
Thanks so much brother, always respect the viewers who agree to disagree 🙏🙏🙏
Great analysis! I think NZ did very well with 1 less on the field. The Boks were tired after the England and France clashes so sheer will was the only thing pushing the team. Taking the win being down in all the metrics says a lot about the Boks.
Very disappointed about the threats to Barnes and his family even though I think he did a very good job in this high pressure match.
Truly one of the greatest sports teams on the planet, and without a doubt the greatest rugby team of all time! @Springboks #StrongerTogether
Defence wins games. Defence shows heart and commitment. Whoever wins the World Cup wants it the most. Everyone is equal at that level its all about the mind.
Great analysis, balanced and insightful - Thank you Max. As a Bok supporter I nearly had several heart attacks in the last 3 weeks of the RWC, and the final was absolutely EPIC, one of the best games of rugby, for so many reasons, to showcase not only the physical skills of the game, but the mental, chess-like aspects as well as the incredible coaching decisions… Gutted for heroes like Aaron Smith to leave this way… huge applause to the entire AB team for their monumental effort and guts… and it really could have gone either way. Very chuffed for the Bokke that it went our way, they all worked incredibly hard and deserved Gold! 😅
The only reason the Boks won this world cup was pure heart and determination. They had to grind it out for 3 matches in a row with nothing but guts. It has to be admired! Aspecially since they had to play all the top 5 teams in the world outside themselves in the same tournament
Brother, this was one of the greatest world cups ever. Even if your team did not achieve what you hoped for them, we still got to see some of the best games in a rugby world cup. I would go as far as to say that 50% of all the best moments and games in a rwc were from 2023; Fiji knocking Australia out by losing to Portugal who absolutely deserved one win, Fiji carrying England players into touch, Fords consequetive drop goals, Zombie, The ambition of both Ireland and France, the certainty that this world cup was for Ireland or France to win, the symmetry of the All Blacks and Springboks knocking out each others bogeymen in two of the greatest games in rugby history - furthermore, the two teams coined to get to the final, England battering the life out of the Springbok players, after themselves being written off as a joke team, the NZ vs SA grudge match brewing for decades, and finally, lets not forget, the Springboks 1 point win in every knockout game.
Nice comment there bro 🙌
the minnow games were mind-numbing blowouts. the knockout games were saturated with officiating controversy. TMO either under or overplayed his hand... one of the greatest ever?
Cheers Mate. That game was decided by a ball hair. When Pollard's first kick bounced of the post and in, I knew the gods favoured the boks.
Yeah that was very very close that one 🥶
Thanks Max, I know you get emotional sometimes, as we all do. But I have a lot of respect for you for staying level headed in this discussion.
It was definitely wise of me to have the rest of the RWC final day off, I scripted the video the day after and I’m glad I did so. Much less emotional 😅
Sorry man, as a Bok supporter it could so easily have gone the other way. I could even feel the hurt you were in the previous video 😪. Thank you for analysis and coverage.
Very good game play for both teams! When NZ scored a try, I'm pretty confident that it was a forward pass. The only other thing I have left to say: Everyone looks at the one team, opportunities lost. Please also look at the 4 tries that were prevented on SA's side. I haven't seen true honest videos until I see those. Look at 11:00 into the game and how NZ prevents us from scoring also kicking the ball away. Look at 40:01. For sure can give a bit more credit towards SA 44 mins into the game too. Finally after 66mins into the game.. SA had advantage, but... I'm just sad that SA is not acknowledged by anyone for these timestamps. Was still a good game, and NZ did very well with 14 players
Yeah I was really shocked we held it together for so long, I thought a smashing was incoming 😢
I was in pretoria today along their route and you know for the first time it kinda struck me how many black people actually support the boks. By extreme margins, the majority of the people there were black and they were singing and dancing in anticipation for the boks' arrival. I think making kolisi captain really changed the black people of south africa's view on the boks. It started to break down the image of a bok as only being a white guy. I think kolisi actually did lots for the country's unity.
What do think of razor replacing foster ?
Kolisi definitely has helped unite the country, can agree there for sure 🙌
This is the best analysis of the final I've seen yet. The final marks an end of an era for both teams. 4 years from now both of their line ups will be very different, but they'll probably still be the best 2 teams in the world. Not sure why Ireland are currently ranked 2nd, but the World Rugby rankings are a bit funny at times.
Cheers for watching bro! And yes! I’ve got no idea what’s up with the rankings 😅
Huge shout out to you Max. Brilliant and brutal honesty in your analysis.
As a fellow south african i cannot thank the kiwis enough for the battle at the end
One of the tense games 😢
As a South African fan, I have to say that this is a great review and very interesting.
This is by far one of the best analysis of the game. As a South African I take my hat off to you
Always grateful for the view bro 😎
You should be the analytical coach for the ABs. Great insight. Thank you for a Springbok supporter who has always respected the All Blacks. Thank you
Brilliant analysis, and thank you for the videos. As a Springbok support I was gutted to see Aaron Smith going out, I have thoroughly enjoyed, with a fair level of trepidation, his game. It is a sad thought that so many legends will probably not be in the next RWC.
Really good and unbiased analysis, earned yourself a sub. I know the loss hurt, it really could have gone either way and NZ fans should be proud of the character this AB team showed to get within a point of the cup given how the last couple of seasons went.
Thank you for subscribing brother 🙏
AB Rugby analysis is the most honest, humble and honourable (Bok fan)
I think they always wanted to use defence but they planned on mixing it up with attack. When they lost Bongi early, their attacking platform was ended and all they had left was defence. So they were forced into 77min of defence rather than splitting up with attack. People underestimate the cost of loosing Bongi so early.
Yeah was real gutting for Mbonambi man 😢
Great analysis! As a South African, all these little details weren’t noticed coz of emotional it was! What a Test! What a Final! The end of an Empire indeed!
I have now watched the final about three times and more and more I feel the frustration which had build up after the first half hour of the game for the Blacks. There is no question about the individual quality of players in both teams. However there is beauty in the way SA worked as a team in a very energy efficient way. The Blacks played very charming with big and open hearts, but could not bring their strengths together finding flow and rhythm. The Boks kept their heads focussed to guide their hearts finding strength, flow an rhythm. The win was on the mental level. On the physical level the Blacks displayed more power but wasted their energy. And mistakes happen when you exhaust yourself. Thanks for all the hours you put in this analysis!
Yeah not just energy efficient (that point has as much to do with NZ as u say) but points efficient, they knew how they were going to score and attempt to hold AB scoreless
Wow, probably the best analysis I have seen so far. Thanks! It's disgusting to hear abuse & threats to the ref.
Yup, the ref abuse has been a joke 💯
It’s finally here! Thank you Max 👍
Cheers brother 🙏
Thank you for your analysis! I was and am delighted about the outcome for the Springboks, but will always have an enormous respect for the All Blacks
Big respect man! Being a Bok fan, this was a accurate and concise analysis, putting the game first! The ref doesn't deserve the abuse. He's the best in the game. Agreed, the AB's had their chances to convert - no question about that. It came down to fine margins. Our line-outs were poor, but we found a way! The better team deserved to win. Just look at the boks journey to the final vs the AB's journey (oppositions)... But, massive respect to our biggest rivals. It was a colossal encounter between 2 of the greatest teams this sport has ever seen! Respect to the AB's. We all love of the game!
With that being said, what a game Du Toit had! Absolute animal! It's a bit shocking the rugby awards, only one Bok player in the team! Haibo! Even coach of they year, Ireland went on an unbeaten run, and ranked number #1 in the world, but when it came down to it, they couldnt break their QF curse.... Rassie or Jacque deserved it. It's okay though, we got the trophy, which is better than any other 'award'...
Yup, the ref abuse has to stop and I’m calling it out no matter who does it 💯
You and your stuff are so Legit. Thanks for your passion.
If ya ever over here in Cape Town, there is a spot here for you to come have a lekker Braai in the country.
Much appreciated Mark, cheers for the offer 🙏
Thanks for this great video, Max. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Superb analysis. Keep up the great work.
It wasn't Cheslin that made corner tackle on Ione, it was Kurt Lee Arendse and he didn't come all the way across, he was on the wing already, Cheslin mopped up the loose ball.
This was incredible. Really high level analysis. Kudos for working around the ridiculously punitive policies on showing footage, you were still able to illustrate your points really clearly. I also appreciated your by-the-book analysis of the cards.
Thank you for an impartial and honest analysis mate. I'm a South African. I am keen to learn more about rugby. It is very insightful to watch the post-final game analysis from New Zealand's point of view decoding it when the referee made critical decisions. I will certainly read more on the rules. 🇿🇦
If only WB read the rules.
Thank you so much Max. I'm a Springbok and you gave the best analysis on the game. I have so much respect for your rugby. I'm obviously overjoyed for my team and country, but I definitely have a soft spot for your team! Thank you
Really grateful man 🙏
Been waiting for this!
Cheers Julian 🙏
Congratulations to both teams reaching the finals
Absolutely in awe ..What a great analysis ...One small aside ..Tackle percentages don't factor in tackle dominance.....A big hit pushing the ball carrier back over the gain line counts for 10 times more than a tackle but still allowing the opposition to offload ...Pieter Steff du Toit basically won SA this World Cup ..His tackles counted big time.. 35:19
Only a few minutes in and I’m very impressed with the effort that you put into this video. Fantastic job, subbed.
Nailed it bro. By the book decisions! Thanks for spending the time, it was worth the 50 hours for sure!!!
Lets catch up soon, more to discuss
Looking forward to our collaboration 🙌
Top job. Cheers mate for the amazing analysis and super hard work you put into your passion project. Just brilliant.
Lovely work...what an excellent analysis...Legend!!! We appreciate your work Broer...zazaza
Like the analysis, true rugby juggernauts going at it, springboks needed this more, nz wanted it, brilliant from the ab's with 14 men as a boks fan I have massive respect as always for nz love our games it's what I live for great game all in all
Good on you bro. Brilliant non biased review. I can only imagine how much this hurt. You have my subscription!
Love seeing neutral unbiased analysis like this. Nothing to do with feelings; just facts...
Excellent video max, I say that as a springbok fan 😁. We used to hang out in Dubai when we were younger - awesome to see your channel grow. Keep it up!
Long time no see bro! Don’t shy away from flicking me a message on the ‘gram aye, always happy to reunite when I’m globetrotting again 😎
Max, really interesting and absorbing video. For the first 24hrs after the final(Saffa here)I was exhausted by the game and stunned and also felt for my friends from NZ. It was a brutal loss when you know you could have won....late Sunday night I began to realise what we had done. Watching this game again(and all the knock out games again) without the emotion , you begin to see all the little things that are happening that affect the outcome of a match. Your video has added to what I am beginning to understand about this tournament....shout out to players on both teams who we won't get to see play again. Thanks Max, like the flow chart through card offences....what a tournament that was...
I feel like cheslin gotta play another wc just to cement his goat status bc he's tbh one of those players that really clutch in finals
Thank you bro. Beautiful review Max!
And the cricket yesterday makes it sweeter 😅
Not as sweet as 2015 when a ex South African hits a six off the last ball to put the under rated, under resourced, far less skilled blackcaps into the final. Or was that the South African 2nd XI?
The pity is I will admit that the Proteas would have had a better all round skill set to beat the Aussies
And I would have rather seen SA beat Aussie, even if it meant NZ losing to SA
But at the end of the day it is all just Sport, and we in NZ have plenty of other challenges, like the economy, crime, gangs drugs, climate change, weather events, etc.
@@Rotowhaka yes I concur whole heartedly ...so as you say at the end of the day it all boils down to sport ...so I cannot for the life of me understand why theres such a lot of sourness and grumbling and death threats being made to the ref??? Its actualy making the all blacks who I have admired since i was a teenager ...into something shameful and ruining our win and victory ....very very ugly ...give it up now and be the people I thought you were all these years
This is the best game analysis I've seen on youtube todate. Well done and one can clearly see a huge amount of effort has gone into making this.
Super grateful, much appreciated 🙏
Max, thank you very much for this very concise analysis. An excellent overview. I appreciate all the hard work.
Thank you, Max. Really insightful. Whilst we are still celebrating the win in South Africa, I do feel for the All Blacks. Respect to you. A team that demonstrated their mental strength in coming back the way they did during the RWC. Let the rivalry continue, and I hope I’ll bump into you for a couple of beers when you come to visit!
Max. You explain everything so in detail and correct. Thanks for this.
Well done on making that quality video. Can’t have been easy.
Glad you enjoyed it mate! And yes, took 50 hours… hope it pays well 🥶
Amazing analysis, Max - there was so much choice on CZcams this RWC, and you were one of a small handful of independents to stand out with amazing unbiased analysis. But this was a tough one with so much skin in the game for you!
From a subjective perspective (as a SAfer), to address your question, "How Did South Africa WIN the 2023 WORLD CUP FINAL?" I think the Bok's mindset was not to try to win, but rather they saw it as a title defence, and therefore, it was a fight to keep it - i.e. defend and let the opposition be the ones to come at them to try to take it away. And they managed to hold out to the end.
Good on you, love the honest assessment!!
Brilliant analysis. Thank you.
Hey mate. Great video. Great hearing these points from someone who supports the All Blacks, because if a Springboks supporter makes these point there might be a few people not agreeing with everything, but you kept very neutral and explained everything with GREAT detail. Awesome video. Again, congratulations to the All Blacks. My second favourite team after the Boks. Such a great nation and next level rugby they play year after year.
Brother don't feel hurt 🤕 we played the best team in the world allblacks. Hold your head up we meet again nothing but respect for New Zealand
Yeah I hope it’s a good rematch next year 😢
Id like to thank France for a fabulous tournament, the whole thing had a great feel. Well done South Africa. From an Ireland supporter. Good luck to all.👍
Well there was a lot more booing in every match after the hosts got knocked out. But guess majority of time it was very nice in France.
@@andreengelbrecht8467 it was good natyred booing though.
Best RWC I’ve watched for sure 🔥
@@TheBlackJersey Im an Ireland supporter and totally agree. The general standard of play has surprised all of us.The usual suspects found they had a job on yhere hands from the likes of Portugal and Geogia,almost across the board everyone has raised there game. Heaven for a real rugby fan .Iv got NZ rugby shirt among others I wont be wearing that for a while, but I forgive you.
Absolutely outstanding analysis Max!!
Cheers for watching man 🙌
An honest and excellent analysis. Thank you.
Your up there with squidge boet, being a south african I like how your stuff doesn't seem fast forwarded when I listen to it
100 times better than squidge
Hi Max,
Thank you so much for this brilliant take! You've really earned my sub.
A few notes from my side:
2:33 - I think that is Franco Mostert (5) and not Eben Etzebeth
13:46 - That was Kurt-Lee Arense who made that tackle
24:07 - I really like that take on how that play decribes this All-Black team. I had to think about which play I would select for this Springbok team and one that came to mind is the final play in the quarter finals vs France where France were on the attack with game time in the red, just to get the ball ripped from Reda Wardi by Faf de Klerk and frantically collected by Kurt-Lee Arendse and kicked backwards into touch (almost hitting a collapsing Handre Pollard (a substitution) in the face. It just represents the pure determination and just getting things done no matter what it looks like.
27:25 Ah this moment, pure joy to watch. I just want people to appreciate this moment.
Some other points.
1. I'd like to hear your take on the massive tackle on Will Jordan by Cheslin Colbe (which lead to a brilliant, and almost surreal, takeover by Kwagga Smith)
2. I think there can be much to discuss surrounding all the drop-goal attempts.
3. I am so glad that Whitelock had that moment in the end. As a Springbok fan, this was still a bitter-sweet moment.
Again, thanks for your content and my commiserations on your loss. I think you can be proud.
Cheers for subscribing mate 🙏
Best analysis of the game I’ve seen yet!
Always thankful 🙏
Stella review Max. New fan right here. Finally, someone said it, "The rules don't care about feelings"
Glad to have you aboard mate 🙏
@Black Jersey Analysis Nailed it. Love your videos. Hats off to the All Blacks, loads of respect for the team that played us (Springboks) in the final, our biggest rivals in rugby. Some of my best south african friends are AB supporters, hell one of them even watched the game with me at my house. Good luck and keep posting!
Brilliant analysis- i enjoyed that..
Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Love this man, great analysis!
Glad you enjoyed the video brother 🤝
I just wanna say your introduction was impeccable. Kept me through out..
Love & respect from South Africa 🇿🇦
Really thankful for the view man 🙌
Much respect to you Max. What a detailed review of the key moments in the game, you presented that objectively with respect to all involved. As gutted as you and your countrymen may be I have no doubts that a serious All Black power up is on the way and that you guys are in for better days.
The comeback starts in 2024 🔥🔥🔥
Great analysis! Looking forward to the next four years. Go NZ and SA!
Cheers Max! Brilliant analysis mate, Bok fan here really enjoyed your thorough breakdown of the plays, defensive and attacking structures and small critical details. As happy as I am to win the cup, I can’t help feel for you as a passionate AB supporter. Your passion and love for ABs and rugger comes through. Seeing some of those key moments still scares me to think of what could have happened in that game. The greatest rival.
I’m looking forward to the rematch next year 😉
@@TheBlackJersey ah man you guys are going to be dangerous with Razor at the helm. Going to be exciting to see how we match up!
Good analysis, very balanced,
Cheers for watching mate 🙏
Excellent video ! Thanks you.
Glad you liked it 🙌
Thank you Max for your analysis and fairness. I have really enjoyed your channel.
My pleasure!
Good analysis bar one critical thing. Not mentioning Pieter Steph du Toit's 29 dominant tackles? SA's defense won them the game, but Du Toit was an absolute beast! He monstered poor Jordie 4 times!
Thanks for a fair and unbias analysis. Great Work. Kiwis will be back under Razza.
Very good and honest analysis!
What an amazing and unbiased review. Great analysis and in-depth understanding. I sit here watching this video and cant help but wonder if the players are consciously thinking out these strategies or acting on impulse. So much more goes into it than what you think. Had to laugh at the Mostert - Etzebeth error. It was definitely Mostert jumping there but who cares. Great video mate
Thanks, great post!
Always grateful for your ongoing support David 🙏
Great review... Thank you
Glad it was helpful 🙌
Great video mate. Huge respect to the ABs.
Much appreciated brother 🙏
Great analysis Bud.. thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
great analysis man!
Glad you liked it bro 🙌
Why can't paid network pundits just do this instead of the whinging. Both NZ and SA pundits are getting on my nerves. NZ after losing to SA, and SA after losing to Ireland. It just seems off, like they know it drives rage, which drives engagement, which drives viewership and ultimately revenue. Seems unbiased commentary is unprofitable.
Max is a world cup winner when it comes to analysis!
I hope this isn’t THE Adam Jones? Either way, I’m incredibly thankful for the view and support 😎
@@TheBlackJersey Nah, you would have to accept shit Adam Jones.
She’ll be right mate 🤣
Excellent analysis.
Thank you for Black Jersey analysis. Absolutely spot on.
Excellent video - thank you

Still some sour grapes down under, but those two teams really make rugby exciting to watch.
springboks has a 50/50 world cup winning ratio. 4 wins from 8 world cups. the springboks didn't compete in the first two and a lot of people said that the 87 cup would have gone the springboks way.
