True class from the best 10 in the game of rugby ever. I would love for the Boks to win this final but honestly I wont really mind if the AB's take it. The only other team I truly have love and respect for. Respect from a Bok supporter
I'm a Saffa and obviously my blood is green. In a way, as defending champs we're entirely respectable because we're now actually at the point we need to be to "defend" the title in the final game. In a way - job 99% already done. Boks have now made it to 4 finals and we're the only team (thusfar) never to have lost in a final. Let's hope that stat is upheld but if the AB's win it then it will be because our oldest adversary was the best team on the day and the cup stays south of the equator.
30:40 "... who you got, I got Jonah, no don't do that look at Randall instead." Smit coming up with some bangers man, great podcast indeed, making these gladiators out as human beings - well done.
John Smit is an absolute legend. The biggest, strongest and most powerful men I've ever seen in a place like Westbury even say that John Smit fights for his country and that's a big deal to the general public. I hope we focus in that SA vs NZ contest and we get that historic fourth.
Hi, we should have more videos of players getting together after the game and the friendships created. We as spectators just see the “fight” and we think you always want to kill each other. Well done for this. From a South African, may rugby friendship’s grow. Great game coming up.
The truth is that I will be a gutted bok supporter if we lose the final, but losing to the mighty All Blacks is not something we will need to feel ashamed about. As an armchair observer it seems like the boks might have already emptied their tank with those tough games against Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, France and even the Poms were a tough opponent, the AB's have only had 2 tough games and could very well have more energy than the boks in the final. Hoping that Jacques and Rassie can pull a few tricks out the hat for this one. Finally a big thanks to Jacques from bok supporters for the role you played in giving us something to be proud of again and all the best for your new venture in Ireland, it's going to be hard for us if you end up coaching another team against the boks though, but somehow it sort of feels inevitable.
Lol, John smit said exactly the same as my comment above re how much the boks still have left in the tank, will they be able to perform at 8000 RPM for another 80 minutes? Go bokke!! 💥💣🥳😁
I agree with Ben. NZ are on the way up. Had an easier pool, and easier team in the Semis. South Africa looked tired against England. Brutal Pool for SA, then Brutal forward game vs France and England. Hope the SA forwards have one more big game in them.
They’ll be up for it. This South African team are bloody good and New Zealand are going to have to throw everything at them, including the kitchen sink and mother in law to stop them. 🤞🏻the All Blacks win, but jeepers its going to be hard.
South africa really have had to do it the hard way, even the NZ Ireland game wasn't as intense as SAs last two games, if SA win it itll be the most impressive tournament win in the strongest and and tightest RWC ever.
stfu🤦♂️.. They've made easy games look hard by not being good enough. England should have been an easy match, just lucky they're not back home load shedding.
Great chat from these legends. As a Saffa, I really don't know who will win. It's going to be a close one down to the last minute. I'll need meds to get me through the game.
As a kiwi I can honestly say, I believed it could happened, after we lost to France it just solidified it for me, I could see we weren't gonna play SA in the quarters and just wished we had them for the finals
The best set of interviewee's so far! Dan Carter is still such a legend. John Smit's stories are the best! Favourite part was the best peeps to go for a beer afterwards.
Dan Carter. Legend. In the 2003 RWC, I always felt that this young guy was super confident and talented. Told Mitchell to pick him ahead of A Mauger vs Australia! Mitchell...given more stick by me, than I Foster who at least has taken on board plenty o learnings. Go AB's. Books are a credit. Tough.
Brilliant ...I think the home pressure on the boks is also massive in NZ..there is no doubt NZ will feel pressure before the game from home.... I felt the NZ vs Ireland game as the turning point, and I suspect SA fed off the NZ win when playing France.
PSA: Review the final scrum from the initial angle, English TH side. Fix your eyes on the far side of the tunnel. Observe Eng LH knee go down to ground. Observe that this is what turns Koch inwards. Observe the knee lift just before put-in. Observe the scrum then go sideways in a manner that only the LH could effect, on account of physics and elementary vector maths. BOK got that one spot on. English LH gambled, and lost.
10% of the worlds population, 9th Southern Hemisphere win coming up. Happy 10th Worldcup! I am no statistician but thats 90% and 3 times runners up and 7 times 3rd place. Thats a truck load of medals🎉.
Thank you so much for the podcast and in particular having the opportunity to witness these famous rugby players having a casual chat about their experiences.
The SA boys have had a much tougher road to the finals, my question is - will they have the physical game to make a 3rd grand win in a row. NZ have made it to this point relatively easier than SA and common wisdom suggests they will be fresher and in better nick to take on their arch rivals. As we know, anything can happen on the day but given context, it is almost harder to pick SA to win the finals - they would have to be an understandably fatigued team. And if they do win this weekend, they will be deserved and worthy victors. Still, my heart is with the ABs - they will take this and give Fossy, the exit he deserves..... My head and my heart have come close to alignment in the clash and I am glad to say, ABs to the end...!!
As a kiwi I feel like I need to say that I don't think we lost faith in the players. We lost all faith in the coach and for good reason. For four years he had us playing a boring European style of play and we kept losing. After losing at the opening game someone's clearly took the reigns off him or maybe he's come to his senses but I mean after 4 years of playing like that idk . I feel it could even be more likely the team and assistants have taken over. He's even sounded like it the last few weeks
I have watched all great All Black and Springbok teams since my mum used to wake me up at 3am in 1949 to listen to all important provincial games and of course the four tests which ABS lost. But pulling on any jersey (even my first under nine years 7 a side school jersey) changed my whole personality and character - and killer instinct and brutal physicality stayed within me throughout the tournament. I was an AB throughout the five games of the tourney. Go ABS - your phenomenol camaraderie, superb fitness, three dimensional thinking and sheer. speed will win the day.
Are you salty about him talking about South Africa poisoning All Blacks to win or that South Africa plays boring rugby? Both are true, what will tagging him accomplish🤣🤣
@@darianistead2239 All the teams he supports has never won a WC even with their expensive game 🤣. Maybe it's good to come and listen to guys who actaully won WC's before 😂😂😂
@@anwellbotha5179 What does that have to do with anything? What he said is still true regardless of who he supports, you lot are just sooks🤣🤣.. He's said worse about the All Blacks and do we cry about it? Mention the bokkes though and😭😭😭
Is this gonna be the last pod for this RWC? Jeez I really enjoyed listening to you lads. Such a great setup with a couple of greats of this sport we love so much and just have a chat.
As a bok, Dan Carter such an impressive bloke and ambassador for NZ & ABs
Carter is a legend - Even in SA, he was always seen as a hero to many young South African backs
What a sane podcast from people who really know. Quite a contrast to all the emotional claptrap out there!

I'm a Bok supporter and I don't want the AB's to win. That I'd definitely mind.

John Smit is a funny guy, would do well with his own podcast 🤞🏾
He was hilarious in the most recent podcast of the Boks Office
@@sports2hedz542yes, just listened to that before this. Awesome podcast!😂

Dan "Mr Class" Carter. The best player to have played the game. And a good human being!
💯
And ex underwear model! 🤣
Not touching beer, too
Not to mention good looking 😅
Wow Dan you just drove me to tears. As a SA support i still think about him. I was 15 in 1995 when he played. My he RIP. He was 1 of the great legends

The coaches made the right decisions at the right time... the game is bigger than the player's feelings
Such a great podcast that could've been longer with all the experiences around the table.

Much respect to all of you in this interview! This was very classy from some of the greatest players in rugby history. Well done! Thank You!
NZ and SA have played each other 105 times.. they know each other very well! No need for mind games, bring your best team and Let’s Go!🔥🏉🔥❤️
Dan is such a yogi mindfulness self regulated individual- recipe for success.
Great segment Gents. Letting us into perspectives and places that as fans we haven't seen. Brilliant. Thank you.👊
Great chat from these legends. As a Saffa, I really don't know who will win. It's going to be a close one down to the last minute. I'll need meds to get me through the game.
Never heard Ben Kay as a pundit before. Good guy.
He's an excellent co commentator on Uk tv.
Thank you for this Podcast, brilliantly done.
This convo was top-tier, loved every bit of it. 👌🏽
Brilliant pod, three voices of reason. some great anecdote's
Really love this content and what a group to have talk in the build up to what I am sure will be an all time classic final.
What a great group of gents! Enjoyed the chat, memories and thoughts
It is relaxing to listen to people who has been there and done it.very entertaining.
Thanx guys , what a super chat , so much fun to listen too ...Go Bokke and much respect to the All blacks we meet you for an epic match on Satuerday
Fantastic Podcast featuring some great, knowledgeable and down-to-earth legends of the game. This is content...
It's the respect for me :) Love the content, all of the best to the Bokke but the All Blacks will be earning this world cup!
I really enjoyed this episode, who ever chose the panel did an amazing job.
Great to hear these guys talking
Dan has something of Roger Federer about him.
Great podcast all.
Did you know Roger is half south African his mom was south African.
Great chat, legends of the game all. thanks
Awesome panel guys!! Thanks for the insight

Dan looks good enough to suit up we will need your boot at the end.
Want the boks to win but Will honestly okay if the ABS win both teams deserve it!
Great insight from the best

One statistic that cannot be overlooked. South Africa has never lost a final. All finals they played in, they won. 🏆
What a cool podcast, just loved this conversation.
Ben, Dan and John. Love it😅
Dan Carter DG against Boks in 2015 was so crucial.
Without that, the trophy would have been to the other.
Great stuff! Go Bokke! All Blacks are a great team. go Bokke!

The Springboks can't be tired they only played in the last 10 minutes of the last 2 games .... tactics baby yeah 🤪🤣
