Fair play to him. 36 year old and 2 World Cup winners medals and a Lion series win as an Assistant coach. Well done Felix
Hear hear!
Isn’t it one wolrd cup medal for him?
Nope he where part off the 2019 winners also🎉
@@mariofourie3372 didn’t know that. Thanks
Ireland will benefit from this Boks era at some point more than any other country ...
Felix we love you, thank you for all your help and fantastic contribution! 😃❤️❤️🇿🇦 🇮🇪
Feels like he is one of us….
Springboks really respect this man. Very astute coach. Seems like a real gent also.
As a Springbok supporter, I have the greatest respect admiration for Felix and his contribution to our World Cup successes. Thanks mate and all the best in the future 😎💪🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
I hope he brings glory to Ireland in the near future. As South Africans we're grateful for your humble contribution
His next goal is bringing glory to England , unfortunately. He moves now to RFU
You were part of a family...
A memory forever cemented within you Sir...
I wish you the most marvellous future...
You helped sustain our hope...
Thank you...
🇿🇦
A modest man with a major input...thank you.
Our African Irish man, ( yo, that can be a deadly cross) Thank you Felix for every thing you have been done.
It's because of people like him that makes us cheer for Ireland whenever they play against someone other than the boks ❣
Great young coach with a great rugby mind,great guy,he's going places,this young man is Ireland's future.ireland got the team to win a rugby world cup in my view they were the best team at this world cup,they were unlucky against the all blacks.
Goodluck Felix,we love you.
From a springbok supporter.
This man is a very hard worker, and clearly has great rapport with the players. A big loss to South Africa - hopefully Ireland benefit one day
Much respect to Mr. Jones
you will for ever be a Springbok
Miss you coach❤🇿🇦
Rassie chose him because he was the best. Long before 2 world cup titles underlined that fact.
Well Felix is joing England coaching staff so a huge benefit for england rugby, thank for everything you have done for the boksFelix, we going to miss you and Jacques Nienaber that is heading to Leinster,
I had to smile to myself when he was answering the last question and started with a typical South African saying "Ja well" You know someone has spent a fair bit of time in SA when they pick up these little sayings.
Me too. Was classic
@@michaelbourbon8815 Came here to say the same.
Felix
U will be sorely missed mate!!
What a contribution to Springbok Rugby
If ever anyone deserved a key to a nation it would be U!!
2 World Cups and a Lions series win!!

We are going to miss him 🇿🇦🇮🇪🙏🏾🏆

Unbelievable CV as a coach already and just so young. Delighted for him considering he had to end his playing career so early
Felix Jones has so much passion and love for the game and we thank him for his tireless and outstanding contribution to the Bok cause.❤

Top man!

What an asset to Irish Rugby
Ireland 2027 RWC 👀
@@Gogginshere911isn't he going to England?
He is joining England. The irony Ireland have mostly England coaches and England getting Irish coaches. 😂
@@Gogginshere9112027 ireland wont even make the quarters let alone win a knockout game 😂
@@YallNotWhite_YourPINK😂😂😂😂
Well done Felix. 2019 RWC, Lions series, 2023 RWC wins. Top coach, wonderful man. You are part of the one of the greatest rugby team in the history of the game.
England rugby team has gotten a gem of a coach. Good luck with your future endeavors.
Thank u for your contribution sir much respect
Thank you Felix for what you have done for Sa rugby, together with Jacques and Rassie.
This Irish man should be part of Ireland's national team, he can surely add immense amount of value....2 winners 🏆 rugby world cup 🏅🏅🏅
WELL DONE FELIX 'IRELAND LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT 'ON WORD'S AND UP 'GOD BLESS '
Felix you are welcome for a braai anytime boet! Thanks for the great coaching and I am sure you will be a great asset to rugby going forward. Ireland get this man back ASAP!
I said it before and I'll say it again ... Felix Jones was our secret weapon during these last two world cups. He is an absolutely smashing analyst and it is such a pity that he is moving on to England.
Thank you Felix and may your talents and work ethic take you far.
Very similar to what Eddie Jones was in the Springbok set up in 2007
Thank you Felix!!
thank you for your service Felix, England gaining an Asset
I think Felix would actually be a great addition to the Irish coaching team. He has the potential to be the head coach at some point in the future. The Springbok players respect him a lot, so he must be doing something right. As Bok supporters, we've accepted him in SA as one of us. I didn't even know he was from Ireland until they said he was leaving.
How did Ireland miss him as a coach
We are sad to see you go Felix.You’re part of Sprinbok folklore.Best wishes for the future.🇿🇦
The real Irish coach ! 🇿🇦
If Legend is true, an Irishman taught South Africans how to play rugby... How fitting that an Irishman shares that medal with us. Thanks Felix!
Thsnk you Felix 🇿🇦💕
ThAnk you Felix. We are forever grateful for your part in the team. We losing our favourite irishman.
Felix is a gem, thanks for being part of our incredible journey 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
T0 Felx well Done from Mel Joy from lreland
It's sad to see him go🇿🇦. He should have stayed and became long term Springboks coach, plus he's still young.
Thank you Felix Jones for you service good luck with your future endeavours
Thank YOU Felix Jones, what a contribution he made !
Can’t wait to see what he brings to England
Springboks, at the world cup finals , its Played 4 won 4
*Attack or defences Wins World Cups*
France could not defend their 6 point lead
England could not defend their 9 point lead
Springboks defend their 6 point lead for 42 minutes
Mate winning a world cup is what wins world cups, All Blacks 2015 are the best attacking team ever, Boks 2007 had an airtight defense. The key was winning, nothing else
Ireland the only team to beat them.
@@firey9998 And the Boks beat the team that sent Ireland packing in the QF once again.
@@firey9998Ireland are a great team, Manie had an off day, don't get too excited.
should be Irelands new head coach. this guy has a brain for rugby!
@@Liam-ls4vtFarrel is phenominal for Ireland.
Not gonna lie, England don't deserve you m8. Don't let them change you! Best of luck for the future.
Irish Rugby need Felix Jones, Ronan O'Gara and BOD- Then theyl win it for sure!! 🏉🏆🥇🇮🇪 They will then have a coach who has won the WC, a European championship pedigree coach and an attack skills boffin in their setup.
But you will still be Ireland
Of course we will. Wouldn’t want to be any other, Erin-Go-Bragh🇮🇪@@icarst1359
Thank you for your contribution mr Felix,..much appreciated ❤
Congratulations Felix
Well Felix is also up there with the best in the world!
Rassie had better add another Jones to the coaching squad for the next RWC as we always win with a Jones on our side !
Going to miss you Felix.
Glad to see him coming to England
He is the only Irishman with two world cup gold medals. Ireland should use his experience to help Ireland win a world cup.
Well done Felix great player was forced to retire early. Hopefully after England he can come home to Ireland or one of the provinces.
Well deserved Jones....🤴
THANKS FELIX
First Irishman to win a WC Medal, we won't claim Klein even if he did represent Ireland at the last WC. Hats off to both well deserved.
Top man!
Thank you Felix 🙏🫡
Imagine this dude's CV:
2 World Cup wins.
Back to back.
This guy can do anything he wants now.
Thank you Felix....Please come back for a " lekker braai and a drum of mampoer😂. All the best!
Felix can I borrow one of your gold medals for next week-end party😃😃😃
Top man
So we did get over the quarter finals.
Briljant F
Baie dankie
En seen vur jou
Future Irish head coach. He's learnt what he learnt with Jacques and Rassie. Got 2 world cup winners medals 2019 and 2023. Future is bright for him and Irish rugby.
I wondered who the guy was who never sang the anthem. Thought he was just serious. 😊
Ireland have a gold coach with them🎉
South Africa should not have let him depart. Felix should be the next SA coach.
Doesn't he have 2 now? 2019 and now.
Yes he does❤
@@kaalvoet He deserves it. He and the coaching team have been amazing these 4 years.
Maith thú Felix. An bhródúil asat.
A Saffa maak a plan
Wonder if he did a second bus tour in SA...?
My man zFelix.
I guess the Irish have finally found a way to wear a RWC winners medal?😂
RSA 4/8 = 50% RWC winning ratio.
NZL 3/10 = 30% RWC winning ratio.
If not for Mallet/Teich and Bryce Lawrence,it would be 6/8. 75 percent.
Comhghairdeas Felix. Maith an fear.
But can they bring the lights on ? Only time will tell
Next ireland coach after Farrell
South Africa have lost a brilliant coach, but it's England's gain.
Felix mooiloop, South Africa loves you. Now go set those countrymen broadcasters of yours straight about Jacques and Rassie, as the Munstermen know, theyre geniuses.
Am I greedy for wanting the 3peat?
Ireland's future coach. 2 RWC titles and a Lions series, and he's not even 40! Excellent coach and a great man
You will be missed here in SA, Felix. Thanks for everything 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Ireland got out of the QF's congrats Felix...
Matt williams come this side if you wanna be a winner,you bitter old man
No please SA doesn't want this bitter old fart!
Shit he's got that real divisive Eddie Jones energy
Lol Matt Williams would not last long this side bru.. I reckon 10 mins before he gets his first black eye !
That's the closest the Irish will get to winning a WCM.
🤡
Lets wait and see, would have won easily last night
Silly remark🇿🇦
Easy to say when you dont factor in the attrition of getting to the final but then you Irish would'nt know that.......@@johnoriordan7419
Interesting point made by Felix Re third hooker selection and winning as was Donald as a 10 for NZ in 2011 if you guys recall
How does an Irishman win a world cup medal? He works for the Springboks
Trait or, lol
Forget the unfairness of the red card.
Check this one out.
Another Wayne Barnes (referee) error
Time on the game clock is the 17th minute and 40 second in the first half.
Barnes: (calls a penalty on Ardie Savea in the all blacks) ‘Clear release please. You went down on the player. On your knee’
(Rules state that you have to release someone completely after you tackle them, before going in to steal the ball. Also be keeping your own body weight up and not lean on other player or the ground to support your body weight)
Barnes: (sees the replay on the big screen of Ardie Savea keeping his own body weight up, not kneeling on the ground and clearly releasing the attacker)
Barnes to Ardie: ‘Sorry mate I didn’t see the replay. Um, I thought you stayed on him, I didn’t see you come off enough’
Ardie: ‘so that was alright’.
Barnes: ‘yeah’
---------
Basically, Barnes is admitting to a mistake, then lets the conversion (3 points) go ahead.
Hmmm.
Kinda strange.
What a carnt thing to do by Barnes. What a shame that he tainted the win by the mighty bokkies and this tao bred Irish man making their winning of a World Cup very questionable indeed.
I would accept it if Felix went to Ireland, but to leave for England.
Come on breh.
Hell go back to Munster, anyone but England
And this is why England is so hated in sports;
1. They created the respective sport
2. They have the money to make any patriotic person abandon ship to work for them.
