Describe your emotions in one word after re-living that game...
Proud.
Redemption
Proud 🇳🇿
Proud
Satisfied...
Respect from a South African - You can hold your heads High. You fought for your country bravely and you can be proud of yourselves.
Much love from New zealander. Can't wait to see you guys next 💯
All spreading the love now.? Until the kiwi,s lose and turn into smiling knives?😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@michaelmoynihan9591 SAnis just as bad if not worse
@@thornevankol1504
I disagree,had it been any other country to have lost,SA supporters would have rubbed it into them because of all the slack the Boks take from most supporters of those teams.Tge ABs and Boks have always had the biggest rivalry and respect.Had we not won the WC, believe me,we would want the ABs to do it.
Very true if not boks then all blacks.
Im south african and I just got emotional watching this, I think I love the all blacks as much as I like the boks.
Same here. Much respect to the AB's!
@@nicholasdejager9thank you from an ABs fan. Also a Boks fan . I’m a kiwi
Same, respect them so much more now!
then something is wrong with you. there is nothing wrong respecting your greatest opponent. but dnt put your love where it doesnt belong. if you are South African you are South African thats it. your love is only for the Boks. same for a Kiwi. you are a Kiwi simple as that. respect us Boks as your greatest opponents but your love belongs to the All Blacks only
Respect from NZ
SA/France and NZ/Ireland were some of the best games of rugby I've ever had the privilege to witness. Got goosebumps reliving this again lol.
That quarter final was easily the best weekend of rugby I’ve ever seen - even the two Marseille games were decent and in the balance in the last five mins
It was magical! The best time in the sport of rugby!
EVERYONE turned up to play, didn't they?
"You borrow the history , you borrow the mana , you borrow the wairua , they say there's a storm coming , i say WE are the storm We are the black cloud" god damn whos cutting onions
If you've been a long time Ireland supporter, it is surreal for the AB's to consider us a peer. Growing up, the AB's didnt even know the names of the Irish players. What a rivalry we have now! love it
Amen, didn't think I'd live to see the day we'd ever beat them. Never mind a few times after that and a series win on their turf. No shame going down to them
Pretty upset that these episodes are so short. I'm South African and these were so great to watch. When you see the human side of these players just like we saw in Chasing the Sun you immediately give so much respect naturally because we as viewer feel like we getting to know these players. NZ will now be my second team to support off course I'm a Bok for life, but they also run on emotion just like us South Africans. Great Great Great!!!
We appreciate your support, thank you.
This episode has a bit more promise. I wish they actually showed the real time feelings more. And having other people telling us how they felt as well. I wish they showed more of ABs emotions. The interact with coaches and players.
Wooooow Stompie! Kom ek jou ewe skielik teen hierso, what are the odds man! 😮🙌 moet net nie te opgewonde raak van die ABs nie, bly 'n bok supporter oor alles 😜🐐 groete, George aka 'kaaskrul' 🧀
Us South Africans Love the springboks...but..the Abs are our 2nd love. A great team of warriors...a great country. Our Brothers
My is Namibia, then Botswana, then Outer Mongolia..
Lots of gatkruipers amongst the South africans. I think the gatkruiping should be the other way round
Pretty heart warming to see alot of springbok fans here, as a All Blacks fan i have so much respect for the Springboks fans and the team. Congratulations on the world cup win, we will see you in the next world cup final 💪
Bok supporter....
Good to see these men as individuals.... not just an AB team.... sometimes we forget that they're also men with their own stories and emotions.... they're special.... every one of them....
We may play different styles of rugby.... but the truth is that Our Boks and your ABs are more alike than we are different.... the testament to that is that after 100 yrs of rugby, the southern hemisphere are still the teams to beat.....
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE!!🤝
respect man
Nz vs SA = Rugby's greatest rivalry. Thanks for the memories, we go again this year! You guys are legends!
Love from SA
Aroha back!
As a proud Springbok supporter, this was one of my top moments of the entire RWC! I could not believe the arrogance of people writing off the All Blacks against Ireland! Arrogance will be ANY teams' downfall in the sport of rugby. I just knew you were gonna win this one! WELL DONE ALL BLACKS!
As an Irish woman, I was heartbroken when we lost this one but my goodness what a fantastic match it was.
Love this whole series. From a SAFFA, loads of respect to the All Blacks as well as their supporters. If we didn’t win, I was hoping you di. That Ireland game was insane, shouted as if I was a Kiwi myself😃
Springbok supporter! Was so ecstatic when N.ZEALAND won the Irish !
Irishman here. Can I just say many of us were embarrassed at ex-players/pundits writing off the All Blacks. It's extraordinary how former players who have played in World Cups know very little about these big occasions. Real fans knew dam well in all likelihood New Zealand would win that quarter-final. We were never favourites. How can a side that's never been beyond the last eight be favourites? We didn't want to play NZ in the quarters and they are the one side we don't want to play in the quarters if we get there in 2027. So please remember when those pundits waffle on and never learn their lesson the majority know what's really going on. We're a good side yes, you don't beat the All Blacks in a series without being a good side, but we knew they would turn up when it mattered most.
Could have gone either way..Your team put up a mighty fight. A heart stopping end. All the very best for 2025
I'll tell you what i told my Irish training partner here in New Zealand . The Irish coach made a mistake by not resting players in the final pool game . Because of the streak and being number 1 in the world there was too much expectation to not lose and stay undefeated . But I believe if Ireland rested their best players for the quarter final , Ireland would be rugby world champions today .
No I think we had a greater chance of beating NZ to be honest but why we didn’t rest our team against the Scot’s I’ll never know
Portuguese here, I think you guys were in a tough spot. One one side, you were the number 1 team and were favorites, having beaten the ABs in a series and the boks during the RWC, on the other hand, if you said you weren't favorites you would be considered "fake humble".
As a neutral, Ireland/France/NZ/SA were all on the same level, and both games could have gone either way. I still think France were slightly better than the rest, but it's a knock out tournament and the best team doesn't always win (ABs in 2007, for example) and there is nothing wrong with that
@@DylanSyllabeu coach wanted to keep the winning streak . he didnt want to sacrifice it
There is so much teams up north can learn from the All Blacks in defeat. They all wore the silver medals around their necks at the post game presentation, dispite the disappointment, they didn’t disrespect the game by not wearing them. I remember the England team in 2019 refusing to wear them and even recently in the champions cup final, Leinster not putting on their second place medals. People talk about small margins at the top level, this is the kind of mindset that tips you over onto the winning side. No doubt the Boks and All Blacks will continue to dominate in years to come, despite having smaller bank accounts. Not because they have a physical advantage or whatever people say, but because of their mindset and rugby values.
Seeing Peter O’Mahony on an early flight home was the highlight of the RWC 2023 😂🎉
It was incredibly heartwarming to know that world rugby's biggest whiner, Sexton, will never win a RWC.
what a small man statement, jeez. NZ and Ireland gave us some of the best rugby in years bubb, you out here stinking the place up
@@tinymahuta you are all a bit dramatic
and what have you ever achieved
As a rugby lover you can't hate or disrespect the All Blacks or the Springboks. The passion, honesty and heart is just next level.
Gents as a South African I can say not one All Black has ever let the jersey down.. great respect for a great team 🫡💯
As a South African I was elated that the ABs beat Ireland. I was jumping up and down when they won the quarterfinal and my American family couldn’t understand why I was routing for them. The final was a war that was won by inches. A gentle breeze could have change the outcome. I love the ABs and look forward to another Bokke vs ABs RWC final. The two best teams in the world.
Proud to be a Kiwi see much love from 🇿🇦 most of my mates are 🇿🇦 they show me nothing but love and care after that final whistle will see you Boks fans again brothers for life 🇳🇿 ❤️ 🇿🇦
Love this series!
It’s been said before, but I’ll say it agin. Full blooded Staffa here… but was defo cutting onions watching this. We love you boys, except for the occasional 80 minute session. MASSIVE respect to you guys!
For me, beating Ireland was more important than winning the world cup, and we almost did that too. Best moment? Jumping and embracing my 9yo son after that win. So proud of an ABs team that alot of people had written off before the tournament. Thank you boys, ABs forever!
Lol
They don't put the almost winners on the cup
@@tiaanbezuidenhout8131thanks for clearing that up, captain obvious.
@@tiaanbezuidenhout8131oh look another cocky supporter for the ABs to put back in his box...it's just a matter of time, the ABs have always been the litmus test always will be.
I love the All Blacks. They are an elite, champion team. We measure our year against how we perform against the ABs. Lose and the season is a failure.
Love you guys. From a lifelong Bok supporter❤
So true
“Tears from upright faces”…DAMN!!!
Never been prouder to be a New Zealander and an All Black fan, than after this World Cup effort. Disappointed to just fall short but respect for the effort in the face of adversity. Well done to this AB’s team, and all their coaches and support staff.
As a South African watching the quarter final in Maui with other kiwi and safari supporters I’m proud to say we were all supporting all blacks.. well done
What a awesome awesome 👌 series the ABs are truly our greatest rivals from a SAFFA ❤
The all blacks are a group of ordinary men, who can beat any team. But the odds were unsurmountably stacked against them in that final. (14 against 18) with the decision makers against them, even though the game statistics were on their side. What a game, much respect from Australia.
They’re just normal
Men
With great respect and much love from South Africa 🥰.
Loved watching this here in SA, NZ is always and will always be the team we respect and admire. So Happy you guys beat Ireland! Was awesome
What a spiritual team.
Yoh you guys brought it all out to the field,couldn't have asked for more,amazing show,Loads of respect from SA
You are, indeed, the Storm.
Another South African checking in. This AB team is special. We know that valley well, and the character it takes to climb the mountain.
I’m looking forward to the next time the ABs and Springboks face each other.
Should be epic.
Cheers from SA.
Great series..enjoying it.
Great to see the other side of the team.
Aaron Smith got me in the feels when he was describing how it was for him leading the Hakka.
I’m South African so I love that we won, but I hate that it had to be this nation that lost. Nothing but respect always to our greatest rivals.
Watching this brought tears to my eyes. I remember watching it in real time, the joy against Ireland, the pain at the end.
No words can explain that emotions. I'm a proud All Black support and nobody's gonna change my mind on that❤🙌🏻
Sheeeesss seeing Aaron Smith's emotion for his captain got me in the guts. As a Bok fan I started celebrating a week early after the semi-finals, cos my dream was granted: to meet the ABs in the final.
Both teams deserved the cup, both teams are rich in history, both teams place humility right up there.. and respect, and no. 1:
HARD WORK.
I'm always a ABs fan.. except 80 mins per year ;) (sometimes 160!)
much love from SA till next time
Love and respect from 🇿🇦
Bok supporter, I was 13 years old in 1995 and remember the week leading up to the final, stressed thought we can’t stop the AB’s…28 years later same thing, stress till the final whistle … you NEVER write off the AB’s ❤🇿🇦🇳🇿
What a team. Diehard Springbok fan, but what a team. All respect to AB's
Oh man, im feeling the emotions after watching this. Thank you All Blacks, you definitely made us as supporters prouder than ever to be AB supporters. We go again this year!
Bravo to New Zealand rugby for sharing this with all their people. Unlike the Springboks and Supersport. Chasing the Sun 1/2 is beyond reach for most South Africans because DSTV is expensive. I command NZ.
Ja they fumbled there. I hope they can sort out the rights issues and upload both on the Boks CZcams. They are so good💚💛
Fair play to ye lads. NZ well done. Hopefully we might get another chance at getting past a quarter final
Man, this was so so emotional 😢. It'll be incredibly hard watching an All Blacks team without Aaron Smith and Sam Whitelock.
You're a really world class rival and have inspired millions of South Africans with just how you play, how you carry yourselves and the love you have for representing your nation. This is a beautiful sport because of your history. See in you guys at Ellis Park soon ❤️❤️🇿🇦
As an Ireland fan It’s ironic that the Irish players who were mouthing off and being arrogant in the previous meetings were the ones who disappeared in this game eg sexton and POM where as the humble ones like bundee and Keenan actually showed up.
I think if they hadn’t been so arrogant and disrespectful in that series that the kiwis wouldn’t have been as motivated to win this one
I’ve never in my life seen nz players celebrate a qf win like that so you know the Irish players must have been acting the fool . Reminded me of the 05 lions tour when the European media and players were b*tching constantly and inspired nz to try even harder.
What utter rubbish! Just because Pete giving a bit of sledging was picked up by the ref mic in one game and you think a sizable majority of the irish team where being arrogant and disrespectful?? Where docyou get this from??
Great respect to NZ Rugby team. South Africa 🇿🇦
So much love and respect for what this team achieved at the Rugby World Cup. Even in defeat you added to the mana of the jersey. That is the essence of what it means to be an All Black and you exemplified that. No one could ask any more of you. SO thank you! To the amazing Spring Bok supporters leaving such heartwarming comments, know that the love and respect is 100% mutual. Every time we play you it is an honour to witness what could be argued to be the best sports rivalry in the world.
Thanks ABs for getting the Irish for us your mates from Africa🇿🇦
Couldn't get it done yourselves!
@@joemoody7440 um we won the world cup something far from you .and we left 13 points on the field against chockers l
@@viwekenneth6028 how pathetic can you be, on here thanking another team for beating an opponent your team couldn't beat, and hasn't since 2016!
Get a hold of yourselves its so embarrassing!
Green gold and black is such a beautiful combination.
Thanks for this series, BIG respect and love to the All Blacks and New Zealand from a South African Springbok supporter. You guys bring the best out of the Boks. There’s no other game of rugby that gets me as hyped as an ABs vs Boks game. Imma miss Sam Whitelock and Aaron Smith.😢😢😢 thanks for the amazing effort you guys put in and enjoy your retirement. Can’t wait for The Rugby Championship to start!🎉
AB was making us all proud and big thanks to all
This two kicks was not ball want go there where should be.
Springboks hade a great kicker last decade.
Dalton papalii is such a top guy... Form a springbok supporter
What I am loving about this series is that for maybe the first time we are seeing some deep emotions coming from the boys and its great to see. That final is still hard to watch tho from a kiwi. One final thought is Aaron Smith our g.o.a.t. halfback?
Great comment and yes I think Aaron is definitely our g.o.a.t halfback ❤
Epic inside story! Thank you for creating! The best losing the final team in RWC history to compete with 14 players most of the match!
As a South African, I can tell you when we’re not watching the Boks play we are watching the AllBlacks. So much respect and love for you guys. Felt for you guys watching this 😢
From Germany: Because of you Guys I love Rugby more than Football now ! Thank you!
Vielen dank!
As a South African, it is hard to find comments that are not from a South African.
lol
Bok fan..... back you guys all the way to the final..... what a game.....
Excellent watch!!! The only team I can take losing to as a Bok. All Blacks will be back make NO MISTAKE. Look forward to our battles.
Wow!! How was that intro… WE ARE THE STORM!!! This is a great country. From a Bok and South African
I love Fozzy! I think of him as a great All Blacks coach and more to the men. I would have played or died for him, wearing that jersey, in my heart. Never seen a NZ coach cop so much nasty heat and hate by the NZ public trolls, disgusting. What he endured and kept it going, kept the team believing and together under intense scrutiny. Unlucky not to win the World Cup!
It's very hard not to love this team
I am absolutely loving this series. I am a South African and a die hard Springbok supporter. I always had a HUGE amount of respect for the All Blacks. I think it is safe to say our two great teams are the greatest two sides to ever to it. As such the All Blacks are the only side against who I can stomach a defeat. Losing always sucks but when the All Blacks get the better of the Springboks I can tip my cap to a well rounded and spectacular group of super athletes.
I have a huge amount of respect for your team. Your great rugby history and what you have been able to achieve.
I think the rivalry between our two great rugby nations is one of the most beautiful things in the whole sporting world. On the field there are 30 players going hammer and tongs. Off the field there is nothing but respect.
I am also very grateful to the All Blacks. Simply for the mouthwatering rugby you have treated us to. I specifically recall Johannesburg 2013 as one of the best games I have ever watched. Or the 2015 Semi Final.
What a team! We here in South Africa have the saying that you underestimate the All Blacks at your peril. That has been proven true in the quarter finals against the Irish. The whole world somehow expected the Irish to win and forgot who the All Blacks are. How resilient you are and why you are such a class team. I hope you guys took that personal. I would have. I think you did because your performance on game day was absolutely marvellous and the boys held nothing back on the field.
I wish this fantastic team all the best and I cannot wait to see the awesome clashes that is to come between our two great teams.
You guys definitely did leave the jersey in a better place. Thank you🖤
As a Springbok supporter with a heart of green and gold.....I fully understand the emotions....the opening game in RWC 2019😢
All honour goes to those who were actually in the Arena, and on that day it was the Springboks and the All Blacks .. as Destiny says it should be.. the two best Rugby Nations there were, are and will be!
As an Irishman, why is there so many South Africans here lmao
Also still haven't gotten over this game, hurts like salt in the wound revisiting this. But what an occasion, long time before we get a weekend of rugby like that ever again
Because we respect each other greatly... Don't see to many gloating/snarky comments from South Africans here do you?
Springboks VS All Blacks will always be something special. We are brothers that have been going hammer and tong at each other for over a 100 years. No arrogance, no inflated egos. Just good hard rugby!
Greatest rivalry in sport. 🇿🇦🤝🇳🇿
It's called respect. Ireland should try it sometime
Thoroughly enjoyed this series! Can understand why the Boks and AB’s get along so well over in Japan!
I’m just so proud of our AB boys. Feel their pain, love their triumphs, I love how the represent us.
Absolutely hold heads high ABs…mighty performance!
Sam Canes performance against Ireland has to go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest All Black captains performance (as captain) of all time.
That is is true legacy 🖤
This was a great All Back test side. Better than most people realize. Good enough to win the World Cup.
Im a huge Springbok fan from South Africa.u guys did show so much respect .I personally respect you guys.
Well NZ and SA showing once again why over the period of a 100 years+ they'll always be the teams to beat. The two best quarter finals ever played at a world cup, and it's not even close. Both games go into the vault of the sport, both teams up against seemingly impossible odds and then they both overcame it and shared a final. Well done to both teams!
You guys are the team we support as South Africans… we respect your game it’s beautiful ! You guys lost so honourable
I'm South African, and my respect and heart pours out to the All Blacks in the way the played their game at the 2023 RWC. Since their first game with France and their previous loss to Ireland in 2022, other rugby fans and pundits wrote the All Blacks off. But I had faith that they'd come back swinging and comeback hard. That quarter final game with Ireland was one of the best games of rugby I've ever seen in my life. I was so happy to support the All Blacks and that win was just so well deserved. Chef's kiss 😙👌🏾!
And to witness an All Blacks vs Springboks RWC final in my lifetime was such a privilege! I know our Boks won the cup, but even after they won and I'll still say it again; for the All Blacks to give that intense pressure play against the Boks without their captain; 14 men to 15, is world-class rugby. I was so devastated when Sam Cane got the red card, but the amazing feat to play almost 70% of the game without your captain and be so close to winning where you had your opponent nation's fans praying and crying out to God (myself included 😂) so the Boks can hold those 12 points until the game is over something to really pat yourselves on the back because no other nation could've done that in a final except New Zealand/Aotearoa! I honestly don't think that if Siya Kolisi got red carded and it we were all at equal players , the Boks would'nt have won that game, especially in the second half. The All Blacks would've handed our asses to us 😂. But even if it would have been devastating to lose, it would be an honor to lose to the All Blacks by the way they played throughout their RWC season, given the tough journey they had. So long as its not England 😂🏴👎🏽.
For the Rugby World Cup 2027 in Australia, I want to see New Zealand/ Aotearoa' s name etched on the cup, it is just as deserving to win the cup. My blood runs green and gold, but the black and silver fern now hold a special place in my heart. I'll be rooting for you guys 🖤🤍!
To our Kiwi brothers, our greatest rivals, we love and respect you. From South Africa. Southern Hemisphere rugby FTW!!!
I remember how happy i was here back home when South Africa won but watching this from the other perspective im feeling sad the all blacks are Warriors and they fought the fight it will always be special watching them both play each other
That loss will make the all blacks more stronger in the next world cup cause they know that pain of losing and they don't wanna experience it again. Much love from South Africa
Kia ora. Absolutely loved this series. Hope you guys in NZ get to watch Chasing the Sun 2. Incredible to see behind the scenes and such an emotional journey. Respect from your brother is SA.
Huge respect to our Rivals I remember the 96 tour to NZ as a young boy of 5 and we love what this rivalry does for the game until we meet again stay blessed AB
Such a great series, thank you❤
2027 = All blacks RWC win 🏅 🔥🖤
Great respect for the All Blacks and their history
The glory of trying to beat you guys as the Springboks is near like winning a World Cup
Can’t wait for more epic games for years to come
Sending love from South Africa. I am looking forward to the Rugby Championship this year, that Ellis Park game in 2022 was Epic. I hope to see sparks flying again this year, the All Blacks silenced us. I was at the stadium with 60000 other people(mostly Saffas) and it was my first time watching the mighty All Blacks live.
The All Blacks is a great team, with a great culture, the gold standard in rugby.
I love this show.
Go Springboks!
If the Boks aren't playing, I support AB's. When we both got thru to the final.. . Wooohooo!!! Love and respect from South Africa. Loving this series, thank you.
Next World Cup New Zealand should just start with 14 the whole time
Been an All Black fan since the grand slam tour of 1978, and boy was I so proud of the mighty ABs for their massive 1/4 final win at RWC 23.
Love all these rugby episodes. Good job.
You boys are pure gold,
Growing up watching the old dogs was a privilege and I’m sorry you couldn’t end it on a high! But damn what a ran.
As a South African I enjoyed this series. We were so overshadowed with joy that you forget the other side has completely different emotions. All Blacks will always be the best team South Africa plays against. I don’t care what the rankings shows. Looking forward to lifelong battles between us and always having respect for each other.
I'm so happy the final was Bok vs ABs, both SH superpower side, without these 2 side in rwc I wouldn't bother watching, both sides have so much respect for each other, this final draw in millions of viewers! amazing ambassadors for the sport..
To our Maori Rugby brothers, you carved this sport along the Bokke to be what it is today! You guys deserve all the respect and let them people keep on doubting you, you guys will only respond with more “mana”
Cheers!! And cant wait for you guys to tour to South Africa
Those quarter finals will live on in rugby history, that final play from Ireland 37 phases or something, it was the tensest thing I have ever watched. 2027 will have to be special to top this tournament
"You danced on the precipice of greatness and came up short. " What a quote!
Great video. Respect. You didn’t lose the final. It just wasn’t meant to be on that day. I knew you would win against Ireland. Ireland was very cocky and NZ had the players and motivation to beat the Irish.
