"Still doesn't seem real, but I'm glad it happened" - John Smit, on rewatching 2007 Rugby World Cup win 10 years later. A special group of guys.
Thank you Mr John Smit you made South Africans proud. We are proud of your whole team. We will always remember the 2007 world cup. Congratulations to Mr Os Durant on his second gold cup win. Thank you Sir. Wish you all the very best.
Five minutes in and I already have goosebumps, a true role model and a living legend, every respect to this great man John Smit!
Great video. Would love to see one of these for each World Cup Final winning captain.
What a great video, great character and a true gentleman. Would love to see Jean deVillers break down of the game when we lost to Japan.
I'd love to watch Sam Warburton re-watch the semi-final vs France.
In tears. I love South Africa
12 years later and they're rwc champions again
… and again
I enjoy how much knowledge and respect he has for his teammates on the field.
Respect to Mr Smit, a true gentlemen and hero
Yes, always had a lot of respect for John Smit. I remember how he led SA to the Tri-Nations championship in 2004. Always a formidable player and a strong leader.
robicenco 1 at Durban airport last year I saw him, everyone, I mean Everyone as they walked past him said good morning Sir, Mr Smit etc he engendered respect from all, still does.
There comes a time where rugby saves the nation, this is one of those time.
35:05 Literally every South African's reaction when Bakkies does anything.
Haha
Geez it would be great to see World Rugby utilise their archives a little more... Great seeing so much backstage footage and getting an incite from one of the modern greats. Would love to see it for other world cups
How did I miss this vid? Love the Boks! 🇺🇸🇿🇦
Lot's of my childhood heroes here 👌 getting goosebumps😫
Thank you World Rugby
One of the best moments for Rugby in South Africa
I loved this video. Felt like I was personally watching the game with John. Awesome stuff!
I watched this as a kid, I was only 13. Watching it now as an adult 14 years later, I get to relive my childhood. Thank you John Smit.
Fantastic video!! Thank you! Watched that game in London and celebrated till the crack of dawn! John was a brilliant captain and remains a fantastic story teller!
Goosebumps watching this!
Get him to do the 2009 lions tour as well! Love listening to his perspective
Great video. Next one: Richie doing RWC2011...that should be funny with a million French commenting "le cheat"
They should have McCaw do it with Aurelian Rougerie the dirty French wanker who eye gouged Richie in the final and got away with it without even so much as a slap on the wrist. Le dirty prick
John Smit relates a humorous story (on CZcams) about getting punched in a scrum by Bakkies Botha.
Great Leader Great Captain Great Rugby 🏉 Player importantly A Beautiful Human Being. Proud of my Sport x
brilliant Thank you World Rugby for making this
a great docie - certainly gave me goosebumps well done Smitty. Can't wait for next year's WC!
What a night! Had a braai with all our friends & it ended up in absolute mayhem, in a good way :)
was the best night ever boet! pure magic. i'll never forget it
Watched with my dad and brother... an incredible night!!
I'd love to see the same video but with Richie McCaw.
@Nzplayer80. The times Richie has gone unpunished is also unimaginable...
Respect this man from a all black fan so as the whole of thevBoK team
@@henkstols9326 if repeating he's offside helps you sleep at night after all the beatings he gave your team... go at it my friend, got at it all you want
"Yeah, here's when I came in offside. And here. Oh, here's a professional foul I wasn't called for. And here's another one. Oh, THIS offsides of mine was awesome, mate! Here's ANOTHER case of killing the ball. Yeah, that was after ten minutes..."
@@JahnBeukesMusic "yeah and here is where I LIFTED THE RUGBY WORLD CUP!!!!"
This is one of my favorite videos around here.
Fantastic video!
37:22 the irony of what happened after the final to the SA coach lol
I will never forget that moment! Just truly South Africa!
i wish the springbok can be like this again seeing. OS DU RANDT LIFT THE CUP WAS JUST MAGICAL
Was he not in the 1995 team?
Yes, I think he is the only player to win 2 rwc's after more than a decade in between.
They did just do this again
@@raubi1549 Now with Frans Steyn 2.
Really good video, should definitely do more like this wit hex-captains!
great concept!!!
Rugby was such a different game back then with all the kicking.
I know Lol I kept asking myself, why kick, why kick?? and they were in good position to run the ball but then that was the tact then it seems and that was SA's style then
@@njengamuturi4681 blame Argentina
Jake Whites teams still play like this in 2019 haha
Proudly Saffa!!
Thank you WR for this video. I just wanted to make absolutely sure about that foot in touch ( although I'd seen the ref's point of view a while back already) @1:04:40 the frame by frame clearly shows he got it right. What a decision to make!!!!
The camera is not perfectly in line with the sideline, and it's not right down at ground level.
Is there a photo of that moment from the cameraman visible in the background? He has a slightly better angle.
I think Cueto was probably in touch, but I wouldn't bet my mortgage on it. I'm about 80/20, maybe 90/10.
Turf kicked up as his boot digs in, but that stops before it reaches the line. The question is whether his boot imperceptibly elevates in time. (Cricket catches prove camera foreshortening can be deceptive too.)
I am nervous for pretty much every Bok game but wasn't for this one - strangely so! Maybe due to the huge pool win (36-0) - I just knew the cup was ours.
Next year is our year again mark my words #Bokke19'
Yessss
Lols sorry bro respect your confidence but All blacks is gonna be a 4th time winner and third straight.
Hier Kom Die Bokke
@@Fat-To-Fit593 ireland and south africa stand a good chance of stopping the all blacks from getting their 4th
All Blacks supporters: Next year is our year. Mark my words.
Ireland supporters: Next year is our year. Mark my words.
England supporters: Next year is our year. Mark my words.
Scotland supporters: Next year is our year. Mark my words.
Wales supporters: Next year is our year. Mark my words.
Great content
39 min in and the ads are just killing this video. what a shame.
Both teams lean on their physical size as in general they both have big heavy forward packs with backs picked to support this just the boks seem to be a little better
What a boytjie! Saluut JS & 2007 Bokke!
Great memories. John also invented a new word - magnety - combination of enormity and magnificence me thinks...? Lol His Pretoria Boys High English teacher should be proud...
40:25 .. very complementary about Juan Smith .. what a player he was
Why doesnt SARU use John as a coach to the Boks captains he is a well of knowledge! wow!
Firstly coaching the boks isn't just always the brains. You have got to be able to handle the pressure of the public from an extremely hostile crowd that if you get 1 bad performance could end up on chopping block. I think if John wants to become a bok coach he should start coaching at junior levels first. Else we might have a Strauli or Tana (coach of blues)
Firstly unless you been a bok coach all youre spitting is hot ar secondly i was not saying he should coach the boks i said he should be a coach to the bok CAPTAINS! So read it again SLOWLY
Because he has said he wants nothing to do with the Modern Springbok side as he knows that the style of being the captain of a team has changed and the overall way that you play has changed as well.
@@theultimatesharpshooter6734 very true and every bok coach will also(probably always) have a limited selection due to the quota system STILL being in place.
Mantap kopinya😁👍🏼
This was as good as good can be . Excellent player and Excellent Captain . They are going to have to get rid of the commenters up Here in Ireland and England . They are PATHETIC .
Great.
I miss the 'crowd trumpet'! Did it start at this World Cup?
Started in soccer world cup
I think you might be talking about the Vuvuzela. Those were a plague and I doubt anyone that had to live with it actually misses them. People who lived near that world cup said it could be heard half a mile away.
Felem. Ible
@john smit, call Siya and watch this together :-)
After 2019 we can see: Siya, Smit and Pienaar watching it together :)
Please can we bring back the SA 2007 jerseys
That's seriously what I tell my self..there's something about the 2007 jersey set up that looks the best I've seen for the boks.
TV commentators were absolutely awful....John Smit an inspirational captain & a compelling analyser...Boks magnificent...
Who sang anthem for SA
Funny that he doesn't even mention Tait skinning 5 players in the line break 1:03:25 I agree with him that SA win this match even if they award the try, SA were the best team in the world that year no doubt.
Tait had terrific talent. We just didn't see it that often, which is a shame.
Where was this held
haha Bakkies Botha at 34:43
Eddie Jones looked so young, until het took over England.
we woz robbed - that disallowed Cueto try still haunts me to this day haha
PS, great to see into the mindset of a pro before and during these huge games! Nice vid
At least you weren't poisoned like the all black team of 95
watch the try at 0.25x speed and you'll see his foot momentarily touch the line before it lifts again
@@darrenusher-jones1397 totally agree, yet that doesn't stop it from still being heartbreaking for an Englishman 😂
@@JamesBrown-ef4nc but fantastic for us saffas :)
What? The foot in touch? You're joking. The foot is clearly in touch. 1:04:40
Jon Smit for coach
Have to say anti rugby won. The match was all England. SA defended well and played to their strengths. England's attack was not potent enough and they started running the ball too much in the second half.
And yet, for all they did, they still lost. Even with multiple world cup winners in the english team and all the support they had there...
🏆🎊🎉
Hey sir Henry not nice of you to bag the Wallabies! We didn't bag you and the all blacks when you lost to lowly France in a few times in world cup semis 😭😭😭😭😭
42:35
12 years later - still not a try.
Who would of thought prior to this competition that all you had to do to win it was beat Tonga ,Argentina and England. Thank you Jesus.
It was Fiji not Tonga
@@uraialagidamudamu7813 Yes in the quarterfinals but Tonga was an inch away from beating them in the pool rounds and the match to be honest everyone remembers how close SA was to losing.
Yeah . Beat Samoa , England , Tonga , USA , Fiji , Argentina and England again and you are world champion lol
Well if those "other" teams weren't good enough to make the final it's their problem
Great SA team but personally the worst world cup I've ever seen. When New Zealand and Aussie boomed out they gave South africa an easy ride to the title.
Stupid thing to day. England were brilliant against Aussie team full of stars.
That England performance is in my top 3 ever.
To bad both of them were dogshit it they wouldn’t be eliminated
This is the team that beat NZ 3 games in a row
He gained so much weight
the day I PARTED ways with SA rugby team, Play ball. this kicking kicking hullabaloo is not what fans want. WINNING DIRTY i say
i welcome you to a team of real men that does contact for 80 minutes, THE MIGHTIEST ALL BLACKS
andrew mosiere lol
@@andrewmosiere5032 What a doos...
@@alistairclifton1286 couldn't agree more
I was very happy with the game plan in 2007 and 2019... Springboks don't need you. Goodbye.
Saying a prayer before rugby matches. Very strange and not very unifying, considering the possible diversity of rugby teams.
True, good thing Jesus was on their side and not England.
I can pretty much garuntee you that all of them are Christian
Paul Saki is the worst rugby I've ever seen in my life
2007 England lost to SA to a Irish ref, 2019 England lost to SA to a French ref. You can’t be using northern refs for finals against sa. Gotta book a southern aus, kiwi ref to favour the northern team.
