As an Italian I am ashamed of what Lovotti (and partly n. 17 also) did. There is no place for such behavior anywhere, let alone on the rugby field. I say sorry to our South African friends.
All good, Stargazer - the foolish action of one player doesn't take away the respect and passion of Italian Rugby. Also saw Sergio checking on Vermeulen after that tip tackle, showing great concern - a class act
Should have been both Italian players red carded though... imagine if that was NZ vs SA, without a doubt both players would have been red carded and put on report with follow up match bans because both picked up the SA player and drove him head first into the ground. Here in NZ rugby is our sport and we see hard hits all the time but this one made me actually cringe and have serious concern for our South African brother, looked like a neck breaker
Yes we have come through to the finals. Your Vanuatu especially Port Vila and Efate supporters are with you in this final and pray that will get the Rugby World cup 2019. As usal sit around bowls of our traditional kava. watch to night. Even England is also tough nad confidence you will make it. God Bless South Africa.
Honestly I have no idea what Lovotti was thinking there. They had an advantage due to offside and they were 5 meters off. They could have scored there and put them within one score of the Boks, and then who knows what could've happened then(unlikely, but, you never know). It would of least made for a more exciting match. It's these kinds of stupid plays that are costing this Italian team so much, and in this game it's as blatant as ever.
Yes I did . He is a awful commentator . He is one of twenty at least uo here in Ireland , England , Scotland ,, Wales . In all sports its beyond A Joke . They really are hard work .
I was Also Very Surprised EBEN ETZEBETH DIDN'T GO IN AND CLEAN HOUSE . He was looking right at it . Ps he is one of my all time Favourite Player's . He is in my all time 15 along with Joost RIP. IV BEEN FOLLOWING RUGBY FOR YEARS . SOUTH AFRICA HAVE HAD SOME SERIOUSLY GREAT PLAYER'S AND STILL DO .
He also steps the other way when required! Check out the other videos that focus just on him. The left then right is just because of where he happens to be on the field...
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Much as they talked up the game, they were never going to win it. But yes, without the red card and the uncontested scrums, it would have been a better contest. Still would have ended in a comfortable win for SA though. Sorry.
Ivor Biggun Umm...in all honesty even if Italy didn’t get the red card they still would’ve lost to South Africa 🇿🇦 imo. Boks just have too much firepower for a team like Italy.
Italy played the man and not the ball...simple as that...there should have been a couple of yellows against them too...whats with the delayed shoving of the try scorer ?
nathan van der Riet Potentially yes, I usually consider spear tackles to be horizontal though (Bokke had several big spear tackles in the game) so may have been some confusion.
yeah you might be on to something. i watched it yesterday but i can remember people scoring tries and then being pushed over out of play and players being held by their feet in the air and dropped. nasty stuff.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Respect for a superior opposition. The Italians were shocking on the day & I'm not even referring to their performance. Too much off the ball & employing spoiling tactics. Lovotti & Quaglio should be cited for the "assault" (can't think of a better word) on Duane Vermeulen & both should receive lengthy bans. If you can't have respect for your opponents at least have some respect for the game & the laws that govern it.
16:24 Notice the refereeing till the try - plenty of scrapy play and penalities (holding on the ball etc.) but to "play on" makes the game just brilliant. A good ref makes for a great game, not hearing a whistle is so amazing idk why. "AM scores at a walking pace" - yeah because the ref didn't blow his whistle and give them a little 'rest'
Italy plated with zero class, where as SA were so calm infact, besides Messi and such ppl, if you give the kind of energy Italians did, in soccer, the other team would have retaliated and stooped to their level
At 13:45 apparently there is no blocking in rugby? Still learning but that definitely makes things difficult. Person with ball must be furthest up the field?
Indeed, blocking (obstructing) is illegal in rugby. It's not necessary for the person with the ball to be the furthest up the field - you simply cannot impede others from tackling the ball-carrier (not counting mauls, of course).
Remember this game. Only 17-3 half time, Italy had the chance to close the gap early second half to 17-6 or 17-10, then they needlessly get a red card from an absolutely ridiculous tackle. The SA player was literally vertical as he went down on his head. Could have been a much more interesting game without the red.
we only have 2 games against Japan and its 1-1. I prefer Japan so that we starting showing our brilliance on records, plus they are survivors and hard workers, i'm sure it will be a great game
We should face Japan unless they crash and burn against Scotland. We are also far more equiped to contain the Japanese than the Irish were. Japan also won't be as physical, which is good, because if we have to play Ireland, then Wales, then New Zealand, we will be broken by the final.
This Bok team is magical. It's not often you get a team you love every one of them, but this is such a team. My Boois!!!
As an Italian I am ashamed of what Lovotti (and partly n. 17 also) did. There is no place for such behavior anywhere, let alone on the rugby field. I say sorry to our South African friends.
Don't worry my friend we can always have a beer after the game.What happened in the field stays there !
@@harold9232 That is the spirit of rugby
apology accepted
Thx I bet you make great Italian food so we forgive you 🤤
All good, Stargazer - the foolish action of one player doesn't take away the respect and passion of Italian Rugby. Also saw Sergio checking on Vermeulen after that tip tackle, showing great concern - a class act
South African players are so respectful. Well-deserved champion
Can we just talk about how good the Boks passing was??
Yes some superb handling in this game - in particular, the skills of: Snyman, Mbonambi, Du Toit and De Allende - Belissima
Ernst Gottschalk x
22 minutes of highlights, there is a god...
George Hornsby hahah I know
16:24 to 18:00 is probably the greatest advertisement for rugby that I’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful madness and glorious chaos.
And still people say South Africa are boring...
I was thinking the same. I'm hooked!
I’d say 15:00 to 18:00
de Allende's pass under pressure is world class
Kolbe, Hollard and Faf de Klerk are game changers. They are the best
I like how clear the ref audio is
You can even hear the bokke yelling their commands in Afrikaans
It provides a lot of clarity for us. We know exactly why the refs make certain decisions
@@jancovanderwesthuizen8070 I like that too. "Hy is joune!"
"Thank you, Sergio!"
Kolbe is the best winger in the 2019 RWC, that kid is dynamite!
I must stop watching these highlights😂✌💪🇿🇦
Haha same! I must have watched these about 20 times! Still haven't had enough 🤣🇿🇦
Why
Me too brother
still watching dude! almost a year on now! Somebody help me.
Congratulations from nz thanks for getting one over the English on our behalf 😀
This South African Number 14 is really good with sidestepping, I've watched on several occasions now.
Tevin Tarso Damiond vlommser
#14 has tremendous basketball Euro step type moves.
14 is cousin of 400m athlete wayde van niekerk....now you know
@@melmel8745 now that explains why no one can catch him🤣😂
Kolbe inspires me a lot!
Him and Pollard🤗
Kolbe is our new Bryan Habana qondile
Different players, different styles, same result :)
What about Mapimpi?
Mzwandile Stishi I agree Mapimpi is the new Habana. Same traits in speed and a good side step as secondary weapon. Kolbe is side step then speed.
when my country south africa encouter problems, i visit such games,
we still have hope for this country.....
Fantastic quick play from SA, some of their handling was top notch.
18:36 That one hand catch of Snyman from a lineout is Gold 👌👌🤾♂️
His hand is as big as a steering wheel..I'm not joking..signed my jersey when he was still playing for the Bulls
I am glad the dummie got send off. He nearly killed that SA player.
Should have been both Italian players red carded though... imagine if that was NZ vs SA, without a doubt both players would have been red carded and put on report with follow up match bans because both picked up the SA player and drove him head first into the ground. Here in NZ rugby is our sport and we see hard hits all the time but this one made me actually cringe and have serious concern for our South African brother, looked like a neck breaker
@@ihateusernamesgrrr it was horrid to watch

As usal sit around bowls of our traditional kava. watch to night. Even England is also tough nad confidence you will make it. God Bless South Africa.
that double headed pile drive by Italy of Springbok deserved TWO RED CARDS....breaking necks is serious crime.
Totally, they both should have gotten the RED CARD not just one!
@@thestickmoriYT then the score would have been 80--3
Agree....two red cards...
SA's depth at lock is nuts.
Yes to have Marks as a replacement!
Best 4 locks in the world
@@harold9232 4 of the best. Retallick at full health would walk into my dream team and I'm a Saffer.
@@RobertPaterson Marx is hooker not lock
Think England’s depth is better; Itoje, Lawes, Launchbury, Kruis. Would all start in most teams.
Love these Commentators, they make every game special!
Loving these extended highlights!!
Cheslin Kobe, Player of the tournament contender
Spot on,absolutely no doubt about that.
Like Habanna in 2007.
@Dahn 🤣🤣🤣
@@RRSmurf Faf has been average this tournament.Definitely Kolbe as our MVP
@@squishypotatoo5304 You're telling me this why?

Anyone notice that the commentator was calling Etzebeth:de Jager for the first two mins?😂😂
Yes I did . He is a awful commentator . He is one of twenty at least uo here in Ireland , England , Scotland ,, Wales . In all sports its beyond A Joke . They really are hard work .
Well done Bokke! Come on the big men! Yster!
Mooi gespiel. Laat waai!
Thanks for the highlights great game :)
Marvelous performance from the boks🔥💯 salute to Italy for trying their best👏
Kolbe is the new Habana
Mate, I think he's better. Habana never had a step like Kolbe does.
He is nothing like Habana though, a completely different type of winger
Kolbe is kolbe. Habana was a good finisher but couldn’t make something out of nothing like kolbe, and in all honesty had a disastrous 2010-2011.
Kolbe always seems to run for his life among all these giants - his success is sheer struggle for survival ;-)
@@oumasannie1 you are the sort of knobhead that wants to put a legend like Habanna down.
How dare you !
Extended highlights " cojonudo " ai suscribe . Slds from Spain . Partitta molto intensa. 👏👏👏👏👏
BRAVO South Africa

Kolbe is brilliant
Kolbe is a natural to step left then right and score his try is the final exactly the same step.
that is known in the basketball world as the Euro step.
He also steps the other way when required! Check out the other videos that focus just on him. The left then right is just because of where he happens to be on the field...
@@henavarrete no one cares about basketball mate
That was a dreadful and utterly pointless tackle which led to the sending off. Sealed Italy's fate.
Think their fate was sealed when they left the change room. But yes, utterly ridiculous tackle.
Not the sharpest chisels in the toolbox,them two
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Much as they talked up the game, they were never going to win it. But yes, without the red card and the uncontested scrums, it would have been a better contest. Still would have ended in a comfortable win for SA though. Sorry.

At 43:20 you'll understand why beast #1 is a beast🇿🇦
@DJ MILZZZ Don't even bother bro he knew what he was doing
Italy played the man and not the ball...simple as that...there should have been a couple of yellows against them too...whats with the delayed shoving of the try scorer ?
I didn't enjoy seing Cheslin or Lukhanyo shoved, not nice at all.
14:43 - 15:46 63 seconds of class
The moment at the start with Barnes and Sergio was gold
Omg that spear tackle was criminal what was he trying to achieve?
gusti bona Spear tackle was legal.. what was Italy’s #1 doing? That was criminal
@@khyber04 You're both referring to the same tackle?
nathan van der Riet Potentially yes, I usually consider spear tackles to be horizontal though (Bokke had several big spear tackles in the game) so may have been some confusion.
I cannot wait to see the new youngsters from Italy in the next world cup
SERGIO STOP
THANK YOU SERGIO
OMG, Kolbe is a fantastic player!
Im Italian and I have a Good News ... Andrea Lovotti is fired.... no more rugby...now he works for a Tree Planting Company
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 i love that
I'm digging that. Which branch though?
Schadenfruade
Extremely dirty play by Italy’s #1 @10:47. I hope he gets a lengthy ban!
Both of them should have been send off
'It's bad, isn't it?' - Wayne Barnes, referee
RG Snyman is freaking awesome.
He is also whatamess personified.
Lol...just don't braai with the oke
Feels like Italy were not playing with respect
yeah you might be on to something. i watched it yesterday but i can remember people scoring tries and then being pushed over out of play and players being held by their feet in the air and dropped. nasty stuff.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Respect for a superior opposition. The Italians were shocking on the day & I'm not even referring to their performance. Too much off the ball & employing spoiling tactics.

If you can't have respect for your opponents at least have some respect for the game & the laws that govern it.
Respect, yes. But not with discipline. A lot of penalties. This is how I feel. (PS: except the tip tackle. That;s just nasty).
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Italians push their opponents after they scoring a try, I think those unnecessary pushes could be avoided
@Alfa&Omega 00000 You are right, but idk it just doesn't feel a good game to me by their part
Italy has been top of the pool for a while now they got/get put in their place, next up for Italy the All Blacks.
This is great, thanks MX
The strength of Boks amazing; rewatching.,,
Strong game.
this is the game to study prior to the quarter final this weekend....

10:27 Guy randomly falls
pushed in the back by vermulen off camera
He was pushed on purpose to delay the ball and give springbok to organize their defense.
Italy plated with zero class, where as SA were so calm
infact, besides Messi and such ppl, if you give the kind of energy Italians did, in soccer, the other team would have retaliated and stooped to their level
Handre Pollard is my fave a cutie and a sweetheart love him to bits hope he gets better while in hospital you are missed Handre a lot
5:03 oh Parisse you cheeky bugger
Love how Faf slung him like a ragdoll.
No such smiles after the game?
今日のスコットランド戦の後に来ました。
20日にはこの強豪たちと戦うんですね…
再びジャイアントキリングを！
"No! No no NO!" *Parisse takes the hands off the ball "Thank you Sergio!". Good one ref!
Nice Baabaas rugby from 16:37. Up and down the field runners go. Good times.
Colby you beast!
Yes, but where are the extended highlights of the final?
it's up....
Wayne Barnes is and always has been class.

Wow, what a game.
Ref: Sergio! stop Sergio!, its okay i decide that
Kind of feel they should have both gotten a red card for that
Well done Bokke
16:53 loving that commentary
SA should be in final

Boks vs. Japan. Then Boks vs. Wales. Then Boks vs England. Then Boks take trophy home.
It’s fascinating how rugby referees knows players by name.
I bet in soccer only Messi and Ronaldo can be remembered 6:25

How to score points against the Boks? Wait for Faf to kick...
Actually not terribly wise when one considers the try returns on those kicks.
