So how did South Africa win the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final? | RWC2023 Analysis

- They did it again. South Africa last Saturday announced themselves as one of history's great sides as Siya Kolisi's immortals became just the second side ever to retain the men’s Rugby World Cup. So, how did they do it, what got them over the line, just how close was their 1-point win, what can the All Blacks take from this, how critical was the red card, and where, in the history of the game, does this side deserve to rank?

Finally!! Brilliant, thanks Squidgy!
"Peter Steph commits a murder and doesn't need to hide the body because it evaporates on impact" sent me🤣🤣🤣
Greatest quote ever.
Chuck Norris is afraid of Peter Steph Du Toit
Imagine PSDT gave all of Barretts brothers PTSD. I'm leaving now😅
The way you cry for our captain makes most Saffas tear up 😂❤
Your tribute to Siya Kolisi is truly wonderful enkosi (thank you) for that. The Nod to Gareth Mason is pure class, this channel is filled with genuine integrity and great humanity 🙏🏿
I'm not crying, you are!
Seconded. Squidge got my dabbing my eyes with a hanky towards the end there.
I was very emotional at the end, when the G-Man tribute came up, I just remembered that dude doing post match reports on the England incoming tour in 2018. He was so passionate about the Boks and was so proud of the players it was infectious.
Sorry I was chopping onions😢@@christiankellermann8300
I too thought it was a great tribute to making excuses and brushing under the table Kolisi's far more dangerous tackle, while saying over and over and over there's no excuse for Sam Cane.
That superb ankle tap tackle by De Klerk in the second half isn’t spoken about enough
Willie le Roux was waiting there to make that tackle, but you can be sure he wasn't looking forward to it haha
Hy vang gereeld skaap.
@@MrDugiwe😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
so happy that world rugby woke up and realized your analysis is the best thing for the game
Commenting and liking to appease the algorithm.
This masterpiece was never supposed to be pulled down. Glad it’s back up.
What a trubute to Siya towards the end 😢😢😢. Nice one Squidge. Siya is our pride.
I have been playing rugby in Dubai for 5 years now since I watched South Africa win the World Cup in 2019. After never even being into sports for 20 years of my life. I saw what they did in Japan and said I want to know more about this culture and be apart of it. Living as a South African raised in a foreign country, I never understood the allure of the sport for a nation, which even when living abroad you can tell has bigger fish to fry. Rugby has remained the strongest glue for a lot of the community. Yes even in Dubai, South African’s stop whatever they may be doing and unite to celebrate the hope that rugby brings to our country. Personally, I have gotten way fitter, made life long friends and after a couple of rugby induced injuries, I have earned so much more respect for the warriors that wear the green and gold. This video fully captures the importance of the Springboks team and makes me proud to be striving for success in my own path. All because of Siyamthanda. (Excuse the glazing but I am definitely naming my future child after this man.)
Beautiful story Mbusiso. #OneNation
We have 2 pug dogs, one named Siya,the other named Kolisi. Love that man and what he stands for.
Sir, this was one of the most important things i needed to read , ever. Stronger together
Lovely comment.
So this is how I will spend my Sunday night... 20:00: Chasing the Sun 2, episode 5, the final! And then, If I have tears left, Ill have 15 minutes to gather myself and then 21:15 it will be SQUIDGE!!!!! Cant wait! Thanks for all your hard graft to get this out!
Knowing Squidge he probably did this on purpose :)
Is there anyway to watch chasing the sun without dstv
Double header for me too..chasing the sun episode 5, then some squidge to marinate the moment in. Awesomeness!!
@@isma-eeljakoet601 yup. Go to A & E rugby and follow the breadcrumbs. For obvious reasons, I have to be cryptic.
The first series is on Rugby Pass TV now. CTS 2 will be available in August. Rugby Pass TV is free.
Squidge saying "lekker" made my year😂😂 after next world cup he will be fluent in S.A slang
Nice one Squidge
Good to have the video back on CZcams. Justice has been done
Hit the notification harder than Ox Nche hits the dessert cart
😂
Watched this the day you released it before the copyright strike and it was a thing of beauty Squidge. Your tribute to Siya at the end, highlighting how he ran to Cheslin first, was almost as emotional as the last 2 minutes of Chasing the Sun 2 Episode 4, and that's high praise because the Bongi bit in that had me in Really looking forward to watching this again, there isn't a rugby analyst (on youtube or on TV) who does it better.
That tackle from Kurt-Lee Arendse 👌 🔥 🔥 🔥.
is also the reason why DvdM would never ever have made the Springbok side. Not only did Arendse stop the deadly Ioane in the corner, but Chessie ran from the far side of the field to ensure that the ball went dead after the tackle.
@Karma-qt4ji Also, did you notice Cheslin was the tackler on the previous phase? Jumped up and covered all the way.
Glad you moved it from 9pm to 9.15pm. Need to gather myself after Chasing the Sun 2 final episode. What an evening it's going to be😍
I’m South African… are we the best team ever? No. Are we fortunate to fight our way to victory? Yes. Am I proud of 32 amazing guys who achieved something amazing? Hell yes. What a privilege to see my men put their lives on the line to give SA something to be proud of 🍾
Greatest cheaters in WC history. Congrats
@@jeanllup6150 How??
"Skullduggery" is a part of rugby that everyone does and SA did best on the night. Thanks Squidge, much love from NZ
@@jeanllup6150cry more
@@jeanllup6150 sad man
As a Springbok supporter, I was as excited for this video the past 6 months as I was for Chasing the Sun 2.. Appreciate that you guys were able to give us this after the final episode and making this an absolute emotional Sunday evening in Pretoria.. ❤️🙏🏼🥳
Oh and Siya Kolisi, the greatest rugby of the captain of all time. Couldn't be prouder. We love you Siya!
McCaw over Siya any day
@@HemiJB91 as a player definitely, as a captain no
Siya is South Africa’s greatest captain of all time. That is only fact
@@HemiJB91 Don't forget to zip his pants up when you're done.
McCaw is better
This video is why being a Squidge Patreon is worth every cent!
So sad that this video is re uploaded. It could have been on crazy numbers by now. Anyways one love 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤
That tribute to Siyamthanda Kolisi ❤❤❤
"Pieter Steph du Toit commits a murder for his friend and doesn't even need to hide the body because it completely evaporates on impact." 🤣
Thank you for an amazing rugby podcast. Thank you for honour the achievement of a remarkable human being, Siyamthanda Kolisi, the inspirational Springbok captain. May your great work continue and stay as brilliant as it is 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Squidge, I saw you at the stadium after the final. Made a video with you and said, " Sometimes we get it wrong but squidge always gets it right" Looking forward to your analysis. Way over due.
A great way to end my Sunday. Siyabonga
Best Rugby Analysis Channel on CZcams by some margin. Love the way you describe situations and your clear unbiased views and in depth tactical explanations and breakdowns. Keep it up🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
This guy sees what no other analyst sees.
Imagine if our school Rugby got this type of analysis infused to their play.
Damn, we'd be beasts.
The humour, the deep analysis, the passion. Your videos are incredible and have afforded me a deeper appreciation for the sport! Keep up the good work!!
It was me. I got this to come back. My pleasure everyone.
World Rugby has to give it up for someone who can call the Leinster loss to the Lions!
Absolutely amazing 👏 really love watching your videos ,and how big your rugby brain is ,what a tribute to the legend Siya Kholisi 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Missed this the first time so glad to see it now! What a beautiful video and analysis of the game. I think you’re spot on about how important Siya’s leadership is to the Springboks success, the trust and belief seems to give them that extra 1 point. As a NZ fan, I feel like that’s what we’ve missed since the Lions tour, and we’re only just starting to get back at the RWC.
Ultimately, I think the things that set the greatest ever teams from the simply exceptional is that leadership based on respect and belief, rather than fear, resentment, or a feeling of destiny. That’s what sets Siya apart from Sam Cane, Owen Farrell, or Sextriangle - “rugby values” if you will.
Squidge. You're a bloody genius. Great analysis, and your last 10 minutes showing your understanding of this team and Siya Kolisi's role is remarkable. Thanks for all the content. Cheers!
You get the rugby. You get the people. We are so lucky to have Squidge Rugby, thank you so much for every single second!
I finally managed to purge this horrific loss from my memory and you just had to bring it up again.
SORRY
Sorry mate; here is another...
As someone (a South African nogal >.
This is tactical poetry of the highest order
A work of art! I always love the Squidge videos but this on the back of the original censoring by worldrugby, makes this so much sweeter with moving pictures :) As a South African I am really happy of course, but I have seen many interviews and podcast talking about Siya. This last minutes talking about Siya and his impact on not only this team, but his country and every person that sees him influence the craft, is magnificent. Thank you!!!
I really hope you watched Chasing the Sun 2 and will give us your review on that as well? Thanks Gentlemen!
This video needs to get to more than a million views
For the absolutely perfect elogy on Siya Kolisi alone, just to hear that again, it was worth the wait to see that video, finally, again. Squidge is the best CZcamsr in all of the Sports CZcams communities. Period. The BEST! No one comes close to his unique blend of incredible in depth analysis (and making it understandable, even for a relative novice to Rugby like me, which in itself is a huge accomplishment), an abundance of quips and all sorts of fun comments, as well as his capturing the emotional side of the sport. Quality in every way! Thank you!
Thank you, Squidge. Just... thank you. I watched your 2019 World Cup final as well, and it's brought me to tears both times. THANK YOU.
You are truly, spectacularly, unequivocally, the very best at this Squidge. absolutely love your work.
Thank you a million times for going through everything to get this posted again. Every minute was worth it! Absolutely love the mix of the emotional heart strings and the hardline analytics. Rugby is beautifully both and that’s why I can’t stop watching. Cheers!
I'm a very PROUD South African ,no matter what we face in our country ❤🇿🇦
This is a humbling, blockbusting, tear-jerking and pride-filling analysis Mr Squidge. Thank you.
This has to be the best rugby commentary channel out there. well-done gents🥇
Brilliant video, my friend. Siya is my favorite sports figure and he likely will be for all time. A titan. A *kind* titan who leads by example and grace. I had tears in my eyes watching the post-game celebrations, the post-game interviews and well... this. Thanks as always.
Brilliant! Thanks, Squidge. For bringing back so many great memories from the great game of Rugby! Much appreciated!
you're absolute legends for dedicating this to Gareth Mason, again. thanks for bringing back some good memories. g-man, rip
Fantastic to see this video up at last...! As always, a terrific effort from both of you.
Thank you!🙏 And all the best going forwards...!
I watched this just before you had to take it down...happy that you are finally able to showcase this masterpiece 🎉
It's truly exceptional; the depth of insight is spot-on. The All Blacks played a stale game, and they were expecting the Boks to repeat their tactics
I think one thing this WC final and the WC in general really highlighted, is how insanely good Jesse Kriel is. Really an underappreciated player since he has had to share the pitch with Am. Would be a starting 13 in most other tier 1 teams.
Always better than Am
😂😂😂 yeah right@@Wolf-hh4rv
He was IMMENSE this world cup! Never seen him play this well!
@@shaungordon5104 he hasn’t been given the opportunity. Am is a play maker not the missile you need at 13. Not bashing Am, he is an exceptional rugby player.
We're fortunate to have both of them.
Superlative work and effort in the face of idiocy, corporate bullishness and an utter lack of Understanding of what our game needs. Made sure I watched this asap just in case it was to be robbed from us again. Both of you are the Kolisi(s) of rugby journalism
This video was worth waiting for, actually, worth watching again. Rugby is such an incredible sport and you help us, passionate veterans, understand it more where we think we knew what it was about. Job well done gents!!
The tribute to Siya was spectacular. He learnt all that it means to be a servant leader by following in the footsteps of his Lord.
So good to see this video back up. That last bit has me choking up again and it really deserves to be seen by all rugby fans!!
Chasing the Sun 2 finalle and Squidge is back! What a day!
congratulations! And thank you so much on behalf of all of us who have been privileged by your world class content. I cannot wait to watch this!!! So excited 🎉
hell yeah! im holding out hope that an New Zealand vs ireland QF is also floating in the ether
Squidge, that tribute to Siya had me in tears man! 😭😭
This is my single favorite content anywhere in the world. Simply incredible job. All of it. As usual.
Ohhh man. The G man. Siya esque feelings of passion for SA. RIP
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you ❤
Brilliant video squidge. Wish you guys all the best in the future. Incredible to see how far you guys have come since the original video on the Ospreys all those years ago
Was so happy to Squidge on the Chasing the Sun documentary, finally getting some of the recognition he and his team so richly deserve. Thank You Guys.
Great videos Squidge! I really appreciate your analysis, your insight and plain old cleverness. More than that I love your passion for the game of rugby, and your compassion for everyone - winners, losers, match officials, anyone who has a tough moment in the game played at its highest level. The Springboks attract a lot of criticism - balance of probability they may deserve some of it - but they are probably are the team with the biggest heart. In November 2023 I had the opportunity to attend a business breakfast with the main speaker being Rassie Erasmus and he shared some behind the scenes moments and dialogue. Certainly a highlight for me. Keep up the great content - through your passion you ignite the same in others. Glad you were able to get this video out in the end. The world of rugby would have been poorer if this hadn't been the case.
NICE!!!!! finally we get to see this, thnx a lot guys
Just dried my tears after Chasing the Sun2
I don't believe there is anyone who can be so bipartisan in their watching and analysis.
As always, pure class, Squidge. Well done!
Thanks, guys. we appreciate all the work you both put into these videos.
So happy this is back up - was lucky to see it about 1 hour before it went offline in November - Thanks for the blood sweat and tears that went into making this, and getting it back online again
Squidge mate, you've done it again... Literally 🙏
You're the best analyst Squidge. Thank you as ever!
Wow, you have a beautiful gift. Incredible video
Great piece of analysis and well written. I could hear your heartfelt emotion towards the end. Beautifully delivered Rob 😅
Amazing video! Such an unbelievable achievement for making the video. Thanks guys! Amabokoboko 🎉
Well done guys - just hooked into your channel, looked at your analysis - insightful- have forwarded your channel to other rugby mad peeps- looking forward to your insights in the upcoming int. Tests👍
Great video Gents! Thanks for all your efforts!
Yay! World Rugby pulling their head out of their butt! Gald it's back :)
Incredible analysis. Wonderful job. Watched your videos in 2019 - loved them, and was not disappointed with 2023.
It’s crazy how no one ever talks about how obviously forward the pass for the try was. The ball bounces significantly forward of where Telea released it
I know right!! Like, not “leaving the hands backwards” … just straight up knocked on. That would have hurt forever if the boks lost.
How many times do people need to explain! Ball leaves players hands backwards…Ball bounces forward! Even Squidge takes note in beginning of video that there are hundreds of ways an OVAL ball can bounce when it hits the ground!
Facts are…ball left players hands backwards @26:16. All is permitted to bounce however it wants to smh
@@KekeHimona Nope, went more than a foot forward, straight out of the hands. Even the NZ commentators thought it was forward.
@@nicholasvanlierde2546 it bounced forward. But ball left players hands backwards. Obs you not looking at video reference
@@nicholasvanlierde2546 and NO NZL commentator or even international commentator believes it was forward
Wow! I heard the crack in your voice as you paid tribute to Siya. Incredible! I have always enjoyed your analysis. But this one mirrored the Bok campaign in that it wasn't just about the rugby. Love it! Looking forward to many more.
These videos are phenomenal. Thank you!
Awesome to have you boys back! Brilliant analysis as usual. Can't wait for more
Thank you for another great video. Your videos change how everyone experiences the game, in such anpositive way. Wonderful.
So good to see you back! Great job as always !👍
So glad we could finally see this - thank you so much!
rassie, siya and handre. the father, son and holy boot.
This was great to watch and revisit a fantastic final, glad to have finally managed to see it. Thanks again for all you do in educating the world on rugby (and its values)
Worth the wait. Thank you!
I was looking forward for this video for 6 months. Worth every second of waiting, great job mate. Saludos desde Chile!
Well done thanks for finally sharing that video
Hope this gets 1 Million Views. He deserves it.
This was absolutely amazing, thank you. Love from South Africa.
You are a rugby maestro! Thank you for the great work you do...
Glad this vid is back, listened to it at work back last year. Finally got to saw it💪
Wow... That was GREAT!!! LOVE your work.
Great to finally watch this video. Think I enjoyed this video more than I might have at the time of the original release, just time for it to all sink in and then get fresh reminders of what an epic tournament it was so many months later!
Thanks for the video Squidge. I appreciate all your hard work. Rugby!
I have just watched your video and I would like to say 'thank you'.
I can only imagine how challenging it must have been, plus dealing with the 'nonsensical rules' you have had to deal with.
Well done 🍷
