- Rassie Erasmus has named his Springboks team early. Nothing out of the ordinary then…apart from the fact it’s unchanged.
Something that happens very rarely! What does it tell us? - Sport
Winning this is important, but losing to Ireland wouldn’t be a humiliation. They are an excellent team. It’s losing to the AB’s we hate.
We hate losing to Ireland too because stats wise over the last 4 years they're more consistent than he Boks. I see Ireland as up there with NZ competitive wise in recent times. In fact, they're outplayed both NZ and South Africa over the last 4 years except in RWC's.
The depth of the Springboks that are sometimes mentioned dismissively, or referred to as South Africa being lucky to have many players, did not exist before Rassie and Jacques. The mechanisms they put in place, even before they were appointed, are delivering the riches we currently have and will have for the foreseeable future. The same Wales switch-up you refer to was one of the aggressive steps Rassie and his team made to move the player-pool forward. If South Africa could do that after the dark Alistair Coetzee era, any country can. They just need the will to. BTW the Am/De Allende pairing are one game behind the JDV/Jacque Fourie combination while The De Allende/Kriel combination breaks that record this weekend, shedding light on the incredible longevity of Damien De Allende.
You have to be the single most doff, unknowledgeable of past bok rugby.
Os du randt,bakkies,Ruben Kruger, moolman,balie, du plessis you are a complete ignoramus. SA had packs heavier.
😂😂 You and Ur stupidities with Erasmus don't sit down it might go dark.
Biggest flex of using the same 23 is that there are 0 bok injuries meanwhile ireland have 2 starters guarenteed out with somthing like another 4 or 5 in doubt
@@brettclarke6798Ireland are with JGP, Hugo Keenan, Jack Conan, Mack Hansen, Henderson ect. Both teams have a number of injuries but SA got through the first test unscathed
@brettclarke6798 true but I'm not counting them as they were all already out before international matches started
Point I was making is that ireland had injuries before and now 6 starters from last week are all also in doubt meanwhile the boks have nobody injured from the first test
@@brettclarke6798cmon SA have a rugby pool of players 5 times bigger than Ireland who have one of the smallest pools in international rugby. And you still feel you need to make excuses..
@@brettclarke6798 Irish fans don’t have any bad feelings about the WC. We were beaten by the best team ever to grace a rugby field in the Semi Final. We are a tiny nation just like NZ we have spent a short time in professional rugby, but we have now built a rugby platform that much of the world is envious on which we have coaches with the top teams in the world 2 with SA . Our country is still building our rugby future we have been one of the most successful European nations in international rugby we have not won a WC because we have not been good enough yet but our progress in international rugby will continue to grow and hopefully one day we will be good enough to win one and for a tiny nation with a tiny pool of players it would be massive in rugby. I think you’re looking at this through jaundiced eyes it is SAs that continually rub it in other countries faces how great they are and yes they are but like all the great and successful countries Italy Brazil Germany France, SA suffers from a real lack of humility and this is why other nations don’t like them. It’s not your rugby prowess on the field that people hate it’s your continual need to demean other people and their countries, countries that stood strongly with SA during apartheid. So for me it’s learn to win and be humble win or lose.
@@brettclarke6798 the fact that you ignore the help SA received from other countries in the world speaks a lot of your ignorance. Ireland was one of the first countries president Mandela visited after he became president, because of the support and help SA received from Ireland. This shows just how little you know and how little you respect other nations full stop.
The Bok depth is like jeremy clarksons genius, its frightening😂😂😂
Great insight Alfie
Another excellent show - thank you Alfie. Ps when are you coming to SA for rugby?
Very important to win 2 - 0
But we want to crush them, was not at all happy with 7 point win.
great insights. Boks want this badly. JDV and Jacque Fourie partnership got cut short by JDV's continuous serious injury before tours or WC's with long periods of layoffs
You correctly mention that Ireland are without some of their best players. But don't forget that we are without Damian Willemse, Lood De Jaaga, Steve Kisthoff.
I saw the first few comments about using "flex" and and and... from atleast my point of view it's a matter of respect. Think about it, if you are a person that's always wanting to develop and become better, how would you want to develop? face the best of the opponent right? and if you are on the other end and you are not into insulting your opponent you would put forth your best as a sign of respect. It's like saying you you have earned my respect. You have beat me in my favourable place, with the best I have at the time and respect is given where it is due. With that being said whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's in yooooooooooourrrrr heeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaad, in your heeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaeeeeeaaaaaaaad RASSIE, RASSIE, RASS, EEEEEIII,EEEEE!
This is only the 3rd game for the Boks since the world cup where as Leinster, sorry Ireland have played tons together ;) They are a well oiled machine and SA are creaking out the starting blocks but think they will only get better as the season progresses.
I would have like if the half-backs could have switched so that Faf and Pollard can play a safety net role, since this type of game comes more naturally to Sasha and Grant
I think the team has gone unchanged because the coaching staff are still working through the new attacking system. That is change enough and they would like to ensure that functions before they tinker further
Rassie is bedding down this combination using the new attack style. So no changes. Rassie plans to get high percentage win rate between cups this cycle. Definitely going g to win but this one is at a ground where we tend to underperform.
rugby world cup only series with level playing fields for all teams benchmark for whos best
Been down to Durban the last two days. Fairly windy. If it remains that way the kickers may struggle again.
I think the Boks will continue to attack but vary it a bit. Perhaps Pollard will catch the ball on one of his dummy runs or de Allende will not pass this time etc.
I expect them to paint the same picture in the first 10-15 mins if they have enough posession and then suddenly change it up with a few hard runs down the middle.
If we end up 1-1 it will be back to boks and Ire fans arguing who is the the top dog. The boks need to mark it 2-0 and end all debate
I'm Irish, there is no debate, South Africa are number 1, I don't know anyone in Ireland thinks any differently
There's no debate in Ireland about who is No 1. SA are world champs, end of story.
Rassie needs to win 2-0 to keep his sanity. He looked very nervous last Saturday.
It's personal all right. But only for the Boks.
Rassie is trying to get boks used to getting used to playing Tony Brown system.... also to make a statement
Irelands coming for ya boytjie
England under 20 just beat south africa under 20 in south africa. Weather conditions favoured england, very wet muddy field.
Ireland rugby 7 beat SA in Madrid
@@mariannugent3179blitzbokke lost to alot of teams
This weekend, foot off the brakes and a massive bashing will the irish recieve.
15 plus. Polly wont fck up again nor shall quagga who has a competitor waiting in the wings wiese.
My iere brethren, prepare ye for the storm lads, ur going to be sent off to your seasonal holiday with a great big paddy whacked walloping.
DDA and Kriel are going to overtake JDV and Jacque Le Roux
They are going to become the most capped centre pair in Bok history.
I think you mean Jacque Fourie
Alfie, imagine going from a team that had record losses against Ireland, NZ, Italy, wales, England (under coetzee). Seeing how much the Bokke mean to SA. Going from that to winning the World Cup in 2019, beating the BI lions then going and winning the World Cup in 2023 and still hear the world saying Ireland are the best team (yes, it was a prevalent narrative from both Irish and English media). It’s like winning an Olympic gold and being told, na it’s not ur hard work, you were lucky. This is why the Boks have to win this series 2-0. To get some damn respect back from the international non South African world. Make sense? It’s righting a wrong. And it’s putting the Boks in their rightful place in history!
Just to add. Reading this back it comes across a little aggressive, not intentional. Your channel has been great.
Yeah 100%, don’t blame them one bit. I always thought the narrative about Ireland being the best side during the 6 Nations earlier this year was harsh on SA.
Who is No 1 has never been a discussion in Ireland, sorry to disappoint you.
@@stephendoherty981 Rubbish, just go back and look at the punditry around the 6 nations... your not being genuine here. it WAS a narrative. Im not saying that all the irish people were thinking. But the Media WERE saying it.
I feel SA are getting a bit over hyped. And I guess they desever the hype. But I've seen this before too. All hype but then drop a match against NZ and AUS
Faf de Klerk should never have played in the first test, and certainly should not be in the starting lineup for the second test!!
You’ve said absolutely nothing, might be time to actually learn rugby and give better analysis 😂
If you can do a better job , stop criticising and do better !
He said it all.
I heard some Irish journalists comment that these tour matches don't matter. But for us it matters. If anyone feels these games don't matter, they have lost touch with the man on the street.
If the boks win, we prove our dominance, and we get the rights to Zombie (Rassie) as our spoils of war.
If Ireland draw the series, they will become the target of every other team as a measuring stick for the North on beating the boks.
