John perfectly demonstrates why us Kiwis hugely respect the Boks....so much passion but humble and can easily share a beer.
and we, you ..
As a NZer, to me, the Springboks vs All Black rivalry is the greatest one of the lot.
Nothing quite like it.. Difficult to explain to other people.. We don't like rugby it's part of our culture! May the best team in green win! 😁
SA loves the All Blacks 🖤💚
If the Boks beat you on the weekend they will be the best rugby nation of all time.
As a 🇿🇦watching a Bok vs ABs game is like watching your best mate pick a fit with the biggest guy in the bar.
@@marnusolivier5995we don't like it. We live and breath it from birth.
Rassie said
"There is a difference between hope and happiness..."
We have survived on hope alone in South Africa for the last twenty-seven years...
Happiness is immediate...yet fleeting...
Hope...
Hope is eternal...
🇿🇦
As a kiwi, I appreciate how humble and candid John has been in all the clips I have seen of him during the tournament. He is very down to earth. Definitely a coin flip for final I reckon - hopefully it is a good flowing game where the players decide the outcome.
As a South African i hope its a stop start game with allot of scrums and little to no flow in the game😁
@@caydenvandermerwe1566 Hah, fair enough!
@@caydenvandermerwe1566 Yep, it would be wonderful if the boks could play a flashy open game and beat the All Blacks, but the reality is that at the moment, this is beyond their abilities, we can however match them sometimes by playing a very physical confrontational type of game to try and stay in the fight, in the end the boks have to try their best to win the game within the laws the best way they can, there are many ways to play winning rugby and the boks have to do it the way that works best for them, history will really only remember the winners, very few will worry about the style of rugby played by the eventual winners.
@@chrislouw9811 Hmm most agree with you that the Springboks are winners, their game is ugly, but a winning one. ABs too are winners, clinical, more fancy pants the most points when the final whistle blows. The outcome can do the talking. Go the All Blacks a tough day at the office ahead good luck. 🏴🏴🏴
He will go down as one of the greatest Springbok captains. It takes a humble and yet beast of a human to lead the Bokke. Good luck for the final 🤝.
New Zealanders and South Africans are easy to make friends with and immensely talented rugby players.
As French. Whatever.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 nevermind " le bleu" nowadays even your food looks good on paper but doesn't deliver in the biggest moments. BMT " Big Mafch Temperament", is what got you amd the irish beat. Both of you were "lifting" the trophy already before the tournament started. When last did the French actually pull through in a big moment with the game on the line. Enjoy watching SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE rugby dominate the world stage AGAIN, let us know who you're rooting for
@@CuspVirgo Neither of them. But I will go with New Zealand.
And I'm not watching it
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 exactly., you'll be on your couch watching the final, without having a dog in the fight. Whoever wins, SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE rugby is STILL at the top. The french are still choker's when it matters most. Football or rugby it's all the same.
@@CuspVirgo I'd rather sitting on my couch than wasting my money to see a final Final in a rainy day. Pouring a lot 😆
I have a cat who hiss foreigners
John Smit what an absolute great Ambassador for his country the Springboks and our great game. From AB supporter, move over Bill Beaumont. Go the All Blacks
As a South African living in Cape Town I'm so so proud of the Boks. Win or lose you guys are Champions. I'm also extremely happy that we playing the All Black's tomorrow, the most respectful team on earth. Well done All Black's and Sam Whitelock you an absolute legend.
We have arrived at the final.
Of course, I hope SA wins. However, if NZ takes it, I can think of no team more deserving. ❤
There has been a lot of nonsense coming our way from the southern hemisphere teams and throughout both SA and NZ have displayed respect, dignity and humility
Good luck to both teams. You guys have been fantastic Ambassadors for your countries.
Class comment mate. The respect and anticipation for any SA NZ test match is always the benchmark for any game - with the game itself being a true showcase of the best of test match rugby. The history of our clashes together are things only few sports could dream of. Hoping our men in black get it done but my god will your lot give us hell for trying. One things guaranteed whoever wins will have thoroughly deserved it. Best of luck from a kiwi in the UK ❤
@AV-xd3ql you know what they say......
Rugby is a hooligans sport played by gentlemen
Soccer is a gentlemens game played by hooligans.
I think that about sums it up. Actually, with our Springboks being accused of racist comments and death threats no less, I would say NZ znd SA Are the true Ambassadors of Rugby.
Just remember we speak Afrikasns, so if your guys hear anything they think is suspect 😉
It is not. However, I do believe the AB have the intellect to grasp that.
Here's to a fantastic game. Whichever way it goes. RESPECT!!!
Hope AB wins tho.. SA too focus on kicking game, which kinda sissy side of Rugby imo. Like how the England team played. Kicking for run and have try is OK, but not kicking for 3 points, or wanting penalty more then Wanting to have a try is kinda whck.
@@kimlouise-rf5rr hahaha no worries from our side unlike the poms we won't be whining about an Afrikaans phrase being yelled to call a tactic if we lose 😉 can't wait for a cracker
😢
Thank you John Smith. U shed light on what happens in South Africa and how much rugby means to us. Rugby is the only thing that has been good in this country for such a long time.
Thank you Springboks,you changed my life and taught me to never give up. Fight like a Springbok💪🏽
Nice summation by Smit. It does mean a lot to us South Africans. It's a ray of sunshine in our lives.
I could watch Jim Hamilton interviews all day. Good conversation. Good questions. Good insights. Just a good chap.
The way they described Jim Hamilton at 0:17 was straight up savage! 😂 😂 😅
That was too funny 😂
😂 He has a great sense of humour
I laughed my lungs out😂🤣he is not wrong, but its unnecessary 🤣😂especially unprovoked.🤣🤣
John Smit is such a good listen! So eloquent. He sums up what it is to be South African, better than most. Jim is the perfect interviewer! Asks good questions. Never interferes & the talk just flows. We are so fortunate to have this podcast.
Jim got all my respect the most clever and honest persons out there watch all he's content and he is always resfpectful.
Legendary captain ❤🇳🇿
No matter the outcome, we'll always look up to the NZ AB team. Us South Africans have immense respect for you, having been the benchmark everyone else hopes to achieve. Much love! Let's show the world why this is the most anticipated final possible. 🏉LET'S GO BOKKE!
These walks with Jim have been special. Thank you.
What a refreshingly honest outlook from John Smit. I think he is spot on. He outlined the traits that can enable South Africa to wi on Saturday. However he also highlighted the more difficult path to the final that South Africa have had. My gut says New Zealand will win. I will be happy to be proven wrong.
Thank you Jim, I have enjoyed all your interviews.😊
The enormity of this game will be lost on a alot of people but these two teams have been the best of the best for many many years and finally after so long they meet again at the summit. This will be one to remember. We should all count ourselves very lucky.
South Africa's nr 1 enemy is the All Blacks. The world doesn't understand, we've been waiting for a final like this since 1995. Definitely didn't think this year would be it, because how good Ireland and France have become, but all the cards just fell into place and we FINALLY FINALLY got that final again. The one thing every South African kid has dreamt of for the past 23 years.
Amen. May the best team win. Hi aua hi.❤
Hope AB wins tho.. SA too focus on kicking game, which kinda sissy side of Rugby imo. Like how the England team played. Kicking for run and have try is OK, but not kicking for 3 points, or wanting penalty more then Wanting to have a try is kinda whck.
@@Algojo So,,,, We Springboks HATE kicking game, we always want to run with ball. The reason why you see this, is 1) Our coaches want to experiment at the wrong times. 2) Sometimes it works to apply pressure and force the opposite team to make mistakes. It's a massive gamble - and we generally HATE it. Nienaber is not a great coach and we've been fighting against him for 4 years now and it's getting annoying. Hopefully after this WC we get someone new.
If this SA side ran a lot and kept the ball in play they would lose a lot more. The pack is strong but not the most mobile, its huge but not that fit by modern standards. Duane is old, the front row are not a mobile front row like NZ. @@josephvanwyk2088
@@Algojocopy+paste
John an Ambassador for the Game from South Africa 🇿🇦 Matt Williams 7:1 split 😢 Thanks Jim
What an impressive captain. Siya is his own man - equally astute, articulate and respectful. Leadership templates and great players. Both so crucial to building team spirit and collective effort that is at the heart of the Boks game.
John nailed it 100%. That is what rugby is really all about and respect to our old arch enemy. See you on Saturday and may rugby be the winner. Saffa
I'm biased but because of what the boks had to go through these last couple of games - the absolute grit they had to bring out of themselves, they deserve to win - they had the hardest road of any team to get to the final and that should count for something
Hope AB wins tho.. SA too focus on kicking game, which kinda sissy side of Rugby imo. Like how the England team played. Kicking for run and have try is OK, but not kicking for 3 points, or wanting penalty more then Wanting to have a try is kinda whck.
Well using that logic they didn’t deserve to win in 2019 because they had an easy run.
They absolutely haven't had an easy run to the final in 2019
QF against hosts Japan who topped their pool and beat Ireland and Scotland, then a SF against possibly the best ever Wales side who won the 6N grand slam.
@@justarandomsleepingredpand7324 Japan are a minnow nation, who usually concede close to or more than 100 against the ABs. Wales are crap and haven’t beaten the ABs since 1953. Their 2019 side wasn’t remotely close to their best ever side.
You clearly never played high level rugby @@Algojo
Dankoo, My Favourite South African Rugby Captain... Love This Man.
Jim, I rate you as one of my top 10 best hosts in sport shows. Your journalism, line of questioning and inter personal skills are always outstanding. Great show
HI ❤😂LISTEN TO THIS GUYS, THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE GOOD FOR THE GAME GB FROM MELBOURNE VICTORIA AMEN ❤
Rugby galvanizes us. As a young democracy there's only been one thing that's been able to galvanize us, bring us together, bring us hope, drink beer together, shout and scream at the television with gay abandon, and that is the springboks. I cant think of anything else that's done as much to unit us as the Springboks. There's a huge responsibility on them. They're not playing for themselves they playing for something much bigger. - John Smit
Speak for yourself
lol, we’ll see how you galvanized you’ll feel when land has been appropriated 😅
@@kush4286Most unnecessary comment on CZcams so far
As a South African and rugby fan, I can confidently say there’s very little gay abandon among the fandom. 😂
@@darrenparker284 😂😂
I see Big Jim interviewing on my feed, I click and proceed. Another great interview Big Jim, I have not seen anyone match your questions and interview skills. Keep these coming!
Big Jim is the best rugby media guy. Nice one mate!
Jim Hamilton is great. All his conversations end up gentle and non arrogant. Its because that is how he is.
Well said John Smit. You perfectly described us South Africans and the springboks. How we felt watching the rwc. ❤ 🏆.
Jim you are class & a true Rugby man! From a Springbok supporter
Love John, he will always be my captain.
I remember that 07 world cup, as a kid, the whole neighbourhood were screaming, dancing, fireworkds.
Also love how humble he is.
Siya i feel follows in his footsteps, whilst making strides of his own. Proud of them both, to call them Captain, and my countrymen
To me, the sign of this epic rivalry between NZ and SA is that even though it may sting to lose to another team, I can still raise a glass and a tip of my cap if we lose to NZ. Respect!
Well said and same here from a NZ’r. Of course we want our country to win but we know we are playing a worthy opponent and good people. It is amazing to have such a rivalry without the hate. A lot of teams could learn a lot that hate isn’t always necessary to build a contest. Good luck this weekend, but not too much!!
Hope AB wins tho.. SA too focus on kicking game, which kinda sissy side of Rugby imo. Like how the England team played. Kicking for run and have try is OK, but not kicking for 3 points, or wanting penalty more then Wanting to have a try is kinda whck.
great questions from Jim and J Smit answering with honest humility - the Boks have the greater purpose and Spirit and I believe this will be the difference between them and our friendly foes the ABs 🙏
Yes Bokke. Some of us were under our sheets, some threw a sheet over the tv, others were crying. You guys stressed us out over these last 2 games but we love you. You are our Pride Bokke. Let's go 👊💚💛🇿🇦
"Jim Hamilton: 0 wins & 5 losses against South Africa" 😂nice little touch. A little bit of self depricating humor while remaining factually correct. Jim has been one of my favourite talking heads of this world cup. 💪👌
Scotland have NEVER beaten the All Blacks in their history.
Agree John.. have residency in Europe but will still spend my 4/5 months enjoying the South African vibe🙏
Old school final. Good luck to both teams 🤜🤛
As a Saffa, my heart is racing already. There is so much emotion behind this game. 😑
CAN'T WATCH BUT CAN'T LOOK AWAY!🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😳😳🙈🙈🙈🙈🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🏉🏉🏉🏉
Well said John Smit…👊🏻🇿🇦 looking forward to a great game in which either side will be ecstatic to win and humble in defeat.
I am so excited for the wc final, thank you Jim for this segment
From Cape Town South Africa ... i was 23 at Ellis Park and now waiting for tomorrow 28 years later ... man this is the best interview I have come across ... a gentle walk in the park with powerful questions and heartfelt responses ... ABSOLOUTELY WELL DONE ...you hit it on the nail ... yet ironically i am an All Black supporter, just for the Haka and what it stands for ... it moves my heart every time almost to tears ...
John smit is class
Jon Smit, always such an eloquent, knowledgable man and a joy to listen to. As a proud Scot, I can't wait to watch the final.
Pls can we get this much quality rugby coverage on the URC, Rugby Championship etc going forward. @Jim and co. your content is fantastic!
A couple of weeks on now from the final and still can’t quite believe how it all played out in the end. 2 great sides going toe to toe We’d have it no other way. Thanks Jim for making these interviews engaging, funny and natural. Really enjoy them…Bring on more WC’s like this one. Rugby is alive and kicking again.
Some great content on CZcams this RWC with this show and Jim being a pleasant surprise. Go Bokke!
This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you Jim Hamilton. I've loved every episode. 🙏
Loving your work Big Jim.. GOBOKKE
I know that Nelson Mandela's spirit aswell as the south African people love for the Springboks Will be with our team in the final on Saturday.💕🌈
Beautifully said John
Spot on! Rugby and sport in general is the best thing we have have in SA! SA may be a steaming pile of S*1T but we are in the final, and I would not want to live anywhere else! Going to be an epic game on Saturday!
This was an amazing interview. Cappie is awesome, yeah some of us push the envelope but history moulds you. We love rugby and when it comes to circling the wagons look at SA. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 good luck NZ, our greatest foe on the field but our greatest friend at 81 minutes.
What an amazing tournament.
The standard worldwide has improved imenseley.
The cameradie afterwards makes everything worth the while.
Good luck All Blacks, but South Africa rocking the daisies.
Doing Big Jim dirty with that intro stat😭😭😭💀
John Smith explains what it means to South Africans quite well. It means more to us as a country... than anyone can put into words. And this year is similar to 95... it connects us in a way that is inexplicable. And John, we are all nervous.
Well said John, I fully agree. (South African
I love the boks. The one team that always is complimentary about us to a fault .. Ireland talk shit about us and lost , but never the springboks. 🏉 rugby is the winner on Sunday

Hey Jim, your channel is one of my favorite rugby channels on the toob, great content and very entertaining for us that are bok befok too, I hope you keep your channel running after the world cup. Anyway thanks so much for all the great content you have shared here during the world cup, best regards from Cape Town.
I think it is "the best" outcome, I actually called it 6 weeks ago, I'm so glad I was right, but more importantly I think it's so good that our 2 nations respect each other, because it makes us so relaxed obviously we want our nation's to win, but we,re not gonna slit our wrists if we lose ( like we would if the French or Irish won) so we can all enjoy this game for the belter it's gonna be
I'm just happy England doesn't pass to Final with their sissy kicking game.
@@Algojo yeah, absolutely
Even though the boks are running on empty, I just hope there's just another 80 minutes left in the tank, the belief will be there for the boks after the twickers debacle for the AB's, but as history has shown it could be an incredibly close game, destiny awaits, good luck to both teams in the final.
Hope AB wins tho.. SA too focus on kicking game, which kinda sissy side of Rugby imo. Like how the England team played. Kicking for run and have try is OK, but not kicking for 3 points, or wanting penalty more then Wanting to have a try is kinda whck.
Uitstekende Program. EK hou van die bespreking. Groete uit Lima Peru!
John is so right… South Africa is such a beautiful country and they have so my problems BUT no matter what happens there, load shedding, drought, floods …. they are so incredibly resilient! Hope they win Saturday… best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
South Africa as a nation could really do with the win. The country is in free fall.
You can say that with every wc
Look at America. You'll really see a country in free fall.
There has been one constant in SA since 94. Remove that and maybe it will go better.
Big Jim…. What a talented interviewer. I just love these chats.
Good interview again, Jim.
John is and will always be,one of our boys. We love them,we live them ,and we walk with them, wherever they go. They are ,and will remain our pride and joy.
Great interview
One of the best thing about the Rugby World Cup in France has been Jim Hamilton.
Well said guys , let's go bokke
Such an epic interview! Can’t wait for the game…win or lose…GO BOKKE!!
BRING IT HOME BOYS...👉✌👆🖐👈
When South África wins they will acknowledged as the greatest team ever to win a World Cup just because of the quality of teams they had to get through. Let’s go bokke.
South African here, the Springboks vs All Blacks is the el classico of the Rugby world. Greatest rivalry in rugby, couldn't have a better final.
Loved this interview, thank you !🇿🇦
Great game coming up.... Could not be a better final... Come on the Bokke.... Love the All Black way of play but this is going to be intense game..
John Smit is all class.
Another classy interview, thank you both! Long may the rivalry between the Boks and All Blacks continue, along with the off field respect and camaraderie! I can't wait for tomorrow's game!
Let's be honest, we have no clue who will win. It's literally 50/50. Both sides are that good.
I think it'll come down to which team wants the victory more.
Brilliant chat guys. John Smit as articulate as ever
Jim, thanks for a legendary series of videos! Testament to the connections you build playing.
Brilliant. One great rugby player with a good one who is great in his new career.
Jim, Saffa here, the interview aside, you are a master at this gig.
That was a wonderful 15 minutes.
Love the opening with the tent in the background. And south Africa has problems haha
Beautifully said. John🖤
Not sure whose interviewing skills I have enjoyed more this RWC, Jim or Shimmy?
Both are fantastic!
Let’s go Bokke!!! Unite us
Jon is so right, as a 3rd world country with so many negatives, we as a collective feel pride when our teams beat the odds against 1st world countries.
Great content, Love you Jim!
It's been written in the stars that the biggest rivals in rugby will meet in the final. It will be epic. But the Boks and ABs are like brothers and friends off the field.
You know what you are doing Big Jim. I'm a Saffa and I love the conversanionalist that you are
95 was a highlight in my life...can't wait to rekindle that feeling...Barney Rubble is looking like his old self 😂😂
That last line by Smit, lmao. Legend
Jim, your a real classy interviewer ...kudos to you, i'm a fan of your pod (still tuning in, even if the Irish fell at that same old hurdle 'once again')
After Nigel, I think John Smit has become my favorite person around the sport.
This is the final of our dreams, two teams with a fierce rivalry battling it out to show which team is the best. Honestly it's anyone's game. It will be a final for the books.
