Love the way Ireland matched us in physicality and mental toughness. Ireland just wanted it more today. As a die hard Springbok fan I'll give it to you Irish, you guys are a bunch of hard bastards.
The team spirit and never say die attitude of the Irish is a beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. Gutted as a SAFFA but losing like this to a side like this I can live with.
@@user-qe1tv1bu2f The guy said something nice about the Irish and here you are turning it into something nasty. I have massive respect for the Irish but hey, if you wanna make things nasty then maybe make it past a quarter final first? All due respect to the Irish players. 0 respect for you. Nonce.
Well done Ireland. You were superb that first half and deserved to win. Why are we not going to witness a 3rd test!!!!!!! To the travelling fans, we hope you enjoyed our country 🙌
As South Africans we now get a taste how the French, English and the Kiwis must have felt to lose by one point in the world cup. Fair play to Ireland and South Africa for a great series. It was brutal filled with blood. Both test matches could have gone both ways. The margins in international rugby nowadays are paper thin. Great series. Pity there is not a third test.
Clash of the Titans could have went either way. So proud of Ireland for fronting up today, rugby the big winner. S.A. fans stayed late and applauded both teams, respect 👍
Numbers matter , we have a s.all pool , SA have large pool . The managers make the difference . The Irish management team prepared the team brilliantly . The resu!t at the end was tight. Ireland stayed in the fight to the end & got the result . Pure magic from Frawly .Cracking game .
South Africa, as everyone knows are the best in the world, but it felt great to see our team win today. Fair play to SA and IRE today. This is rugby at its best!
“Everyone knows South Africa are the best” , I think you mean everyone knows Ireland are the best. South Africa won the world champs but they have never been the “ best”.
As a Kiwi I think the statement about this being better than the series win in NZ is totally valid. South Africa are a World champion team at their peak that was deservedly beaten. What a game that was!
Gladatorial. Happy with the win without Keenan, JGP, Bundee, Hansen and Conan. Farrell's best win considering the missing players. Osborne was immense in his first 2 caps.
Agree this is the biggest win for Ireland in a long time. I think bigger was beating the ABs in Chicago. That turned it for Ireland in terms of regularly beating teams and being the consistent force they are
Beating the Boks in the group stages on the last WC was bigger than this win. This was just a friendly. Winning the series in NZ was also bigger. We are used to beating the Boks so todays result was no surprise to us.
Cheers SA fans. Appreciate the comments. Two very good sides on show over the last two weeks and great that we are at the top table of World rugby delivering on the biggest stage A healthy rivalry enhanced!
Ireland deserved the win today, simply better decision making, kicking and better execution today. My Boks always looked like they were just hanging in. Boks just never looked as dangerous in attack as much as Ireland did with ball in hand. Either way it was a brutal game and epic end. Well done Ireland, well deserved win, wish we had a 3rd test to decide the series.
Crazy big hits in the start, haven't seen so much blood in a long time 😂😂😂😂 the war continues, congrats ireland 🇿🇦 Wish i could have seen the irish coaching staff in the end with that drop kick
Ireland was very good! I haven’t seen so much blood in a rugby match ever! Funny fact I was at the last games these 2 played in 1981 in Durban. Naas Botha vs Ollie Campbell. Ironically Naas scored 3 drop goals which lead to a Bok victory of 12-10
Ireland was more hungry than the Springboks. They scored the only try. It would have been a travesty had South Africa won with kicks. A well deserved victory.
Still rank the New Zealand 2022 series as our greatest achievement to date - this rivalry with South Africa is a close 2nd. I know that some pundits have talked down that All Blacks team but, that same team went to the '23 World Cup Final and lost by 1 POINT to the Champions, the Springboks!
Your analysis and conclusions are spot on but what do you mean that SA were not at their best. They were the same team that beat us in test 1. This time we out muscled and out played them. The BOKS are known as tough, proud MF's that are hard to beat in their own back yard and deserve to be World Champions. This time the No2 in the world showed them we are not far behind and we were deprived of being in the RWC final because of the tough group we were in, probably contrived deliberately by the powers that be. ☘️☘️
Love all the comments from Saffa fans as in Irish man. You can very proud of what your team has done last 2 years. Setting the benchmark for everybody. The 2 best teams right now imo. Two brilliant, physical matches that could have went either way. Long may this rivalry continue. Rugby was the real winner today.
you said it in one, .'...what a test match & what an ending!' AND with no Hugo Keenan. no Gibson-Park, no Mack Hansen. no Dan Sheehan. no Bundi, no Casey! The grit and guts of this green machine is awesome Also, I would have to say, def 2 of those SA penalties really shd not have been given.
Interesting comment, shouldn’t you be giving credit to the players that were playing instead of talking about the ones that were not playing.. they deserve the credit.
@@zwet4269 , you not answering the question. Under strength vs number of regular starting players are two different things. Having said that, this was good for Ireland because they showed they don’t need certain individuals to win. There’s a guy who mentioned sexton in the comments, like really how many matches has Ireland won since sexton retired to be still mentioned. Give credit to your players. That was my point.
Epic win, especially considering the players missing coming in and compounded by the injuries last week, seconds to go with a scrum in our 22, Frawley with ice in his viens kicks a drop goal reminiscent of Sextons dg against France.
Great analysis. It was a cracking game. I think that Ireland, South Africa, the ABs and England are very close at the moment. France has dropped off a little I think. But on any given day any of them could beat the other. And, I think that Australia are on their way back thanks to Joe. I expect Ireland to win today and that was a good series for us. Luke Pearse ruined the first game but today just showed how close these two teams are.
Our Rugby Team is obviously our greatest sporting force atm. No disrespect to our other great athletes. Something I'm deeply proud of. To beat a great Sa on home soil is just brilliant. 🎉🎉🏈🥇🏆🏆🇮🇪🇮🇪💪
1-1 in South Africa, Altitude for the first test and second at sea level to suit the Irish is a fair 2 test Competition, Should have been a 3 match test.
An entertaining battle of the big boys ... Ireland snatched it from the lions jaws. Great admiration & respect for their game. WELL DONE, Ireland 🇮🇪 👏🏻 BOKS 4 EVER ❤
Can we please agree that three Test series should now be the norm. Incredibly impressed by South Africa and that is why they are the World Champions and have won the gold ware multiple times. I love Andy Farrell ❤
Andy's chat with the boys on Wednesday worked. We outmuscled the Boks, which is quite the feat. The bench worked a dream. Frawley's cojones to kick, and get, 2 droppies was astounding. Great series. Pity there isn't a third game. The lads need a well deserved rest. Coybig.
The Irish came back with physicality and passion. Good on them. Their replacements in the game were incredible. Will this become the new class of titans? I still feel Ireland are no.2 as the rankings suggest. But it’s close. Till they win a world cup it remains the Boks v the AB’s as the ultimate rivalry.
Agree that Irelands win today surpasses their series win in New zealand. Incredibly they were still sloppy at times today, some silly errors at times but you cant argue with Irelands intensity in the first half. If ireland could tighten up with the unforced errors and can carry that ferocious first 20 minutes across into the second half, the youre talking serious serious quality. SA were better outwide, faster with the ball in hand. But Ireland never give up.
The lean, mean green, fighting Irish rugby machine and we can literally say fighting after yesterday's game. When it looked all over and the boks looked like they were going to take the game and the series 2 - 0 , the Irish lads found something extra and pulled it back. Well deserved victory. Congratulations to both sides for creating such a fantastic spectacle for all to witness
As a Kiwi I'm genuinely impressed by the standard of Irish rugby. We've tasted success against England, though most Kiwi pundits would agree that England will be a real force when we meet again, including Ireland and France.
COYBIG! So proud of the men in green today and their never say die attitude! Their rugby spirit is hewed out of granite, and I would defy anyone to say otherwise.
I agree it was a great game, but I think the ref was a little bit too fond of his whistle. It would have been a better spectacle had he let it flow more. Well done Ireland!
As a Bok supporter I think this analysis is fair. On the attack I think Mark Keohane and Zelim Nel called it after last weeks test so have to credit them, but they said Tony Brown coming from a team that doesn't have the players to compete means he has to get creative in trying to maximize the little opportunity they get. They were right because it seems like we try to score a try from every line out and throw passes that are not on and take the wrong options.
The series win in NZ was bigger. Maybe if this had been a 3 game series it would have been. Beating the boks in the WC was pretty big too, then you’re onto grand slams after that. We did thrash France away in the 6n just gone by which was really good as well but they were a bit demoralised after the WC but then so were we. We just need some of our U20 players from the last 3 years to break through now to give us a turbo boost.
Andy Farrell is a legend if a manager. How he changed the teams to suit the day way unbelievable. Credit where credit is due. Well done Andy v Rassie. 1/0
I’m glad there isn’t a third test. Both teams have taken a huge beating and wouldn’t have enough first teamers to settle the debate. Another point is that I think it’s better for teams like SA to play a third summer test against a lower tier nation to help grow the game.
Impressive That we beat them without JGP and our injuries, in general. Especially considering that bollix call by the ref, which lead to 6 points for SA. I'm still so pissed off with that.
Ireland were definitely up for it, and SA although largely offset the physicality Ireland brought. Where SA lost it imo is that they weren't accurate in a lot of what they did. Hats off to Ireland for hanging in there and getting over the line with the final play.. Overall a great advert for rugby
What do you mean, it was a draw so we are still ranked 1. Fair play to Ireland and it can still always change but we are still no1, so no … we deserve that no1 spot as world champions and as this was a draw test series.
The Abs test win is still the best win, B4 that test series Ireland were not number 1 and not considered a big WC contender. That series win put ireland on a map they have never been on, this win just kinda told us that ireland are that same unreal team as they were when they won the ABs series
Ireland showing just how good they are, and the amount of depth and talent they have. With so many players out with injury, they were still able to front up and get the job done. Not hating on South Africa, but what happened to the running style and expansive game plan? Unfortunately, it seems they went back into their shell and played their usual style, which I believe cost the Springboks. With all the ball they had, not once did they kick to the corner, Grant Williams boxed kicked every chance he got. Last but not least, can someone explain to me why the Springboks are playing in their away jersey?
Man, i love rugby. World rugby needs to stop tinkering with the rules.. There's nothing broken in the game. Last 2 years of international rugby has been different level.
Ireland won! Deserved winners by a long shot. We were all over SA like a rash in the first Half, don’t think they knew what hit them. SA had a better second half but we did what needed to be done ☘💚🇮🇪
Ireland have just gone from strength to strength. What annoys me is how us Kiwis rubbished Fozzie seemingly dismissing what was a formidable Irish side. The writing had been on the wall prior.
An incredible match and so happy that Ireland won I felt that the S.African media where getting just a bit arrogant and predicting stupid scores Very definitely was alot more intense today compared to last week S.Africa where lucky and had the rub of the green last week While Ireland where a tad off their best NOT TODAY Ireland turned up and played Scored the tries While the Bok could only kick penalties Which i felt quite a few where a bit dubious Anyway going to enjoy a few pints now lol
Ireland should have lost that game. They were done, but a drop got them over the line. They did win the series though. They needed the one win down in SA to call it a success and they achieved that. Congrats Ireland on getting a win down in SA. It was pretty clear they wanted to put a buffer up in the first 40 with the bomb squad comming up. SA struggling to adopt the Kiwi style still (Tony Brown), but it will get better over time, and the introduction of some fresh hungry talent.
Rassie changed his game plan but neglected to adjust having his best players start the game. Finishing well with the bom squad, is the old game plan design. The change of scrum half in the second half is testament to this. Staring Marks and playing an actual eight man not Kwaga will make all the difference. The coach did not learn any lessons from the first test.
It was like spartan war fare . When you go into the enemy coldron you send the two biggest dudes in for HIA and their influential full bsck . Prison rules 😆 👏🇮🇪
Not sure if the series draw is the greatest achievement id still put the 2-1 over NZ first, or maybe the 09 grand slam that kicked off our ascent to being in and around the top of rugby, but id say its the best single game achievement, given as weve never won a QF😂
What changed in the 2nd half was that SFM stopped running the ball upfield which forced IL into penalties. For some reason, he started kicking up and unders, which IL easily caught. BAD DECISION-MAKING BY BOKS!! IL deserved their win!
Love the way Ireland matched us in physicality and mental toughness. Ireland just wanted it more today. As a die hard Springbok fan I'll give it to you Irish, you guys are a bunch of hard bastards.
It was a great game .
They certainly are!!

Great game. Well played Ireland. From a Saffa. Now we know what France, England and New Zealand felt like. We lost it in the first half IMHO.

Wish i could have seen the irish coaching staff in the end with that drop kick
Have to say Alfred you kind of wrote us off. Ireland are a class act and they proved that today in the best test of all tests this summer.
I love South Africans they may seem cocky but you have to earn their respect and i think Ireland did that today
Ireland was very good! I haven’t seen so much blood in a rugby match ever! Funny fact I was at the last games these 2 played in 1981 in Durban. Naas Botha vs Ollie Campbell. Ironically Naas scored 3 drop goals which lead to a Bok victory of 12-10

Well done, Ireland. I got the feeling that the Boks were caught between strategies. Their kicking game was simply awful.
I would put new Zealand series win as the best. This 2nd
SA are still No1 by a fair distance and rightly so. Well done both sides.
4 losses out of 5 v Ireland might say different...but Saffas have won when it's really mattered
Rugby was the overall winner of this match & series. 👌
How could it be better than beating SA in the RWC? How could it be better than 2/3 in NZ?
Man, i love rugby.
World rugby needs to stop tinkering with the rules.. There's nothing broken in the game. Last 2 years of international rugby has been different level.
Ireland won! Deserved winners by a long shot. We were all over SA like a rash in the first Half, don’t think they knew what hit them. SA had a better second half but we did what needed to be done ☘💚🇮🇪
Boks are still evolving there new system
Edit required: "fair play to Ireland" as your first statement. They actually won the game!
three match test win in New Zealand noting comes close NOTHING
ireland won only 2 test matches against abs and lost one in nz - it was not a clean sweep as much as the Irish like to believe it was
Ireland have just gone from strength to strength. What annoys me is how us Kiwis rubbished Fozzie seemingly dismissing what was a formidable Irish side. The writing had been on the wall prior.
An incredible match and so happy that Ireland won I felt that the S.African media where getting just a bit arrogant and predicting stupid scores Very definitely was alot more intense today compared to last week S.Africa where lucky and had the rub of the green last week While Ireland where a tad off their best NOT TODAY Ireland turned up and played Scored the tries While the Bok could only kick penalties Which i felt quite a few where a bit dubious Anyway going to enjoy a few pints now lol
Ireland should have lost that game. They were done, but a drop got them over the line. They did win the series though. They needed the one win down in SA to call it a success and they achieved that. Congrats Ireland on getting a win down in SA.
It was pretty clear they wanted to put a buffer up in the first 40 with the bomb squad comming up.
SA struggling to adopt the Kiwi style still (Tony Brown), but it will get better over time, and the introduction of some fresh hungry talent.
Rassie changed his game plan but neglected to adjust having his best players start the game. Finishing well with the bom squad, is the old game plan design. The change of scrum half in the second half is testament to this. Staring Marks and playing an actual eight man not Kwaga will make all the difference. The coach did not learn any lessons from the first test.
It was like spartan war fare . When you go into the enemy coldron you send the two biggest dudes in for HIA and their influential full bsck . Prison rules 😆 👏🇮🇪
This win for ireland is a good equivalent to the boks win over the all balcks in 2018
Not sure if the series draw is the greatest achievement id still put the 2-1 over NZ first, or maybe the 09 grand slam that kicked off our ascent to being in and around the top of rugby, but id say its the best single game achievement, given as weve never won a QF😂
The boks shud never gotten ahead of Ireland the ref gifted them penalty after penalty
South Africa are a strange team. One game they look great and scoring trys...to a game that only kick penalties and zero trys
No. The New Zealand series win tops this due to our poor history playing them. Incredible achievement but it doesn't top that.
What changed in the 2nd half was that SFM stopped running the ball upfield which forced IL into penalties. For some reason, he started kicking up and unders, which IL easily caught. BAD DECISION-MAKING BY BOKS!! IL deserved their win!
Springboks turn games into a tussle, they never smoke any team cleanly man thats frustrating
Line out losses was a weak point. And kicking to solid under the highball Irish didn’t work. Needed to keep in hand a bit more.
Great day
