Whaaat?😂😂😂😂
@@kabelomahlangu1414 IS👏 IT👏 A👏 LIE👏!?🤣
Pap and braaivleis sounds about right 😂
Haha hsha haha yeah
That's why we're born strong guys
New Zealander/kiwi here. As much as we hate you tough bastards 😂, you guys are always the ones who give it to us when we match up. You springboks play a very physical game and it always forces us to play at our absolute best to be able to compete. It’s always a blast watching the AB’s and the Springboks duke it out 😂
A lot of respect we have for the South Africans 🔥🔥🔥
Dido, we SA feel the same about you kiwi's. I won't say we hate you...well only for that 80min though.
@@meaganpillemer5796 Nah we don’t hate you guys I was just playing around. Maybe except for those 80 mins though like you said 😂😂. You have our respect
We can’t say the same for England tho. We hate and have no respect for those guys hahaha 🤣
@@jacksonwirepa2301 it seems we have a mutual reaction about that snobbish team and don't even get me started on the Irish or even Aus.
@@jacksonwirepa2301 hahaha fuck England first fuck Australia second
If we were to loose to someone in the RWC I hope it's Ireland.
The teams I love to watch ❤ All Blacks v Springboks- the BEST ❤
Congrats to South Africa for your win in the Rugby World cup again. As a heart broken Kiwi I am proud of the AB's but have mad respect for your boys too! Our teams gave a good game!
Thank you 🇿🇦
The referee was a moron admitting mistakes and accepting his decision not to withdraw
Thank You.
I was never a follower of Rugby but hey the way this boys display resilience and patriotism makes me feel that if every sporting code was to follow their plan of action, we would definitely become a different country, to my surprise they are not egoistic just simple Boys when you meet them on the street, may the good Lord guide them as they rewrite history ❤❤❤
It's not for the faint hearted love. We love the game. Proudly South African. 🇿🇦
Yup die bokke is woes
BokBefok❤
Im sure your not proud of loadshedding
Its a shame but NZ puts them in their place SA fear NZ All Blacks.
Awe ma Se poes😂😂😂
Springboks one of the few things we have left here to be proud of. Our boys always bring us together.
Also one of the few things we are respected for as a nation lol tisk tisk
💯 well Said they our Pride
❤❤❤❤❤
As a South African I'm proud that our rugby boys aren’t as disgraceful as our soccer boys.
Lol did you have to rub it in?
The female team atleast competes
If it was up to me I'll fire the entire south african soccer organization all of them lol
What soccer boys? We don't have a soccer team 😂
Search Orlando Pirates vs Tottenham. Its our coaching we were actually REALLY good back then
As a proud South African I'm happy that our boys is the most feared team
Yes same hear and we win the World Cup against New Zealand
Our passion for our country makes the South African Rugby Team, Springboks, so dangerous. We play for our country and represent our diverse country. For us as Springboks, it is more than a game.
💯❤️
Well said. 🙌🙌❤️
on second thought they r just violent and disrespectfull towards other teams like when that player bulldozed the one in black-all black(new zealand) he deserved a red card 4 that 1!
@@Apex-ec7if naaah most are actually pretty chilled people check interviewed with em.
@@Apex-ec7if the all blacks can dish it out. They tried to break Brian o Driscoll’s neck ( spear tackle ) Ireland and Lions captain.
Springboks , the only team bringing South Africans 🇿🇦together.🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Rugby 🏉 bring south Africans together always. Thank u for the 4th win champions of the world. We salute u together we conquered. 🇿🇦🇿🇦💚
The formation you asked about at around the 4:45 mark is known as a scrum. This is performed by the forward pack who are always quite a bit heavier than the backline. The forward pack or simply forwards, are in the South African context human wrecking balls who now in the modern game are also fast. It is not uncommon for pack weights to tickle the one tonne mark typically coming in at around 870 to 990kg's in top flight rugby. There are 8 per team arranged in a 3/4/1 formation. The scrum is part of structured play known as setpieces. What you see around the 7:55 mark is known as a ruck(ball on the ground) or maul(ball not on the ground, ie ball is held by a player and another or others are contesting possession) and this is part of unstructured play. Traditionally left to forwards because of their sheer physicality, it is in the modern game, more or less a free for all for both forwards and backs(backline) to gain possession or try and gain possession of the ball so as to gain advantage and score. I may stand to be corrected on some of the more technical point of these, but that's more or less the nutshell....
Bro he didn't need a whole Wikipedia entry
Awesome,i appreciate you giving a detailed description for an american that doesnt know the sport and that asked about it.
Easy to give a short answer.Glad there are still people giving an effort,plus this is rugby,i think an effort is almost mandatory .WELL DONE
@@lukevangraan7366mfim
Thanks for the proper explanation bro, for those of us not familiar with the sport, proper detailed explanations like this are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Tnx for giving it all we needed it 😘
Watching this as they just raised the Webb Ellis Cup for the 4th time, twice in a row as Workd Cup champs and the captain making history as the first black national captain to hold, raise and win twice in a row. Listen???? The Bokke are truly our national treasure and we're truly grateful to have such a formidable team!!!!! ❤
I'm watching this on the eve of the RWC final and we south Africans are filled with so much pride, hope and elation for our springboks!! Bring the cup back home boys 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Proud south african 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Our Rugby Team is awesome!! When you mention our rugby team it stirs a passion inside that make you proud to be South African! Yahoo Boetie!!!!!!!
Rugby is huge here; I think it was made particularly special when we won the world cup in 1995 with president Mandela at the game. Rugby is more than just a game for us. 🇿🇦
Rugby World Cup coming Up . Can We Do It Again. Will Be AWSOME .
Also, the Bokke are literally the only national team that has never disappointed us. Even when they lose you still know they gave it their all. Love my Bokke.
@@Graceland-2015I believe and we will party again
It's a religion
@@Graceland-2015we did 🎉
You know at a time where our country is in shambles seeing this team playing so well gives me so much hope .🌻💫
Dude the Springboks senior team is physical certainly but they are on a slow lane compared to High School kids in South Africa, now that's where SA Rugby brutality is taught, those kids are just pure muscle and bulldoze anything that goes anywhere near that Rugby ball,those kids are ruthless bro, the senior team has actually toned it down a notch.
Love my SPRINGBOKS🇿🇦✌🏿
Once saw rugby match for high schools and it was intense the way they did warms... Especially push ups everything was OP competition and the match up was just a brutal when playing lol saw what must've been a 10 or 12 yr old take a punch like it was nothing during the match during the scrum
You got that right ekse,miss my high school days💪
POV: your about to play CBC
*Dies*
High school rugby is on another level
i think the reason the springboks being less brutal is because of the strict rules in professional rugby
Fun fact, Chestlin Kolbe the number 14 is Wade van Niekerk the 400m world record holders cousin... Speed is in the Family!!!
Can we all just appreciate the touchline ref running and catching up to some of the fastest players in the world @2:12
Lol
Bro was cruising. That wasnt even medium to fast pace for him.
😂 Dude was jogging at a ¾ pace
The refs definitely deserve great recognition, keeping up with the ball ALL the time and staying focused 👏 👌 🎉
This video is just another reason why I am proudly South African.
Love those boys....proud South African💪🏾
Kiwi here, I have to South Africa v New Zealand are always some of the most intense games to watch, love how passionate the SA team and supporters are about rugby.
Thank Mate Proudly South African but man the nerves when we play the All Blacks! You guys are exceptional at the game! Best games to watch are against you. Good luck to NZ in the world cup final. For the love of the game✋
As a proud South African I can say that We are such a passionate country and our Springboks have made us incredibly proud. We love our Bokke 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

I love your commentary 😂😂😂
I am so proud of our guys!! Well done, SA 🎉❤
Our boys have true grit, strength, and power. We are made of good stock. Go Bokke❤🇿🇦❤
Proud South African here!! We are super proud of our rugby team.. 😃😃.. that's a scrum.. 😊
I know we love our Rugby players but I think the coach also had a hand in the team's success at the last World cup Rassie made sure that our players were fit enough to go a 80 min game and still be able to push it in the last 10 min.
Preach!👏
Also Management and Sports Department Bravo to that that's only Pride we have to this Moment and Marathon
We know ,but it's good to brag about our boys..😂
I love your reactions to our team 😂😂😂...and I LOVE our team! 🇿🇦❤️🇿🇦 I'm so proud of them for winning the world cup this year...for the fourth time in the eight games played since we've been allowed to compete in the world cup. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If no one has told you, 04:43 is called a scrum (from scrummage). It's an attempt to gain possession of the ball, a way of restarting gameplay...if that is what you meant by your question.
It's good to know we are known for something positive 😂😂
Besides the crime
Lol damn is south Africa dangerous?
@@onejayp fo sho
@ONEJAYP it has its danger like any other country in the world. Don't let this fool tell u otherwise. One of the most beautiful countries and most beautiful women 😍

Im from south africaand to answer your questions were just built different
We are always very happy when it is SA versus NZ. Two best teams in rugby.
As a South African this gives me absolutely chills 🇿🇦
The factor that you are talking about that they have is something that we as South Africans learn even when we play at school... The pride, the courage, the determination etc is everything we live and breathe every day.
😂DIE BOKKE is die beste 🙌🇿🇦 Resilience & humility at its finest…that’s what we made of in South Africa ❤️🥳

Dont forget the bunny chow.
Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and chevrolet?...
Dnt forget pap
That head helmet guy he just pops out of nowhere I swear a true springbok like the animal jumps like crazy too😍
To answer your question @4:50, that is called a (set)scrum, ref calls for it for light offences mostly committed by the team in possession of the ball. The scrum is contested by the forward players of the two teams(positions #1 to #8). The forwards are usually the bigggest players as their jobs requires more mustle than does the backline.
Good explanation, and the springboks i would say has hands down the best scrum in world rugby
@@kevinvanniekerk7558 every honest rugby fan will agree with you
Straight
Trur
Proud Springbok supporter, our men are amazing! Just wanted to say that its got nothing to with bullying- its a very physical game but there's also a huge mental part to it too, its about getting under the opponent's skin. Love our Bokke!!
The guy you mentioned wearing the “hat” also called a scrumcap or headguard in rugby there are two in our South African team , Kurtley Arendse (yellow hat) and Cheslin Kolbe (green and black hat) both short , strong and fast
RUGBY IS THE ONLY SPORT THAT BRINGS SA NATION TOGETHER. We all become one when the Springboks play. I love South Africa and my Western Province rugby in Cape Town.
Love the appreciation of the rules by both players at 6:36 . . Tackler releasing the offensive player after the tackle and the tackled player releasing the ball after being tackled.
Really proud of our Springboks-rugby team and our Proteas- cricket team. #Proudly 🇿🇦
3 world cup victories for South Africa, only equaled by New Zealand. These two teams encompass the biggest rivalry in the world of rugby
Some would argue in all international sports. But being South African, I definitely am biased. So in the top 20 at least?
hmm the kiwis are the better team and have been for a long time.
@@jasonmckay8793 ok
@@jasonmckay8793 I think the best World Cup Final will be the Boks and All Blacks
@@jacobfaurie3641 I reckon that the hosts (France) and Ireland will have a real say in your prediction. I really can't see both RSA and NZ surviving the quarter finals. Although with this year's draw, the quarter finals are actually semi finals.
🤣 what a great edit. I am very proud of what SA Rugby is doing. Thank you for highlighting our skills and passion. You made me smile today, thank, you. And yes, we are a very complex mix of breeds. Resilient.
As a mom in SA with a 9 year old boy who loves playing rugby at school, even the school rugby is not for the faint hearted 😂
Dont think I can even watch it on TV coz of the anxiety and my hubby loves rugby but no thanks... I feek like I am about to witness a terrible accident.
#1 team from the cradle of mankind, Bokke Bokke the Pride of South Africa😎🇿🇦
I'll tell you this much about the Springboks... Doesn't matter where they come from but when they are out on that field they are a family but to answer your question as to what these guy's are fed probs biltong and boerewors with pap(one of the few things i enjoyed when i visited RSA) but also it's more complex than that.. each person has their own background that has shaped them to be who they are today and who they are on the playing field. The Springboks are a team that can unite an entire country. It is one of S.A most passionate sports
No soccer is our most passionate .remember the 2010 world cup the impact it had on our nation.Imagine if we went to the semi or quarter finals would have transformed SA forever bafana needs to rise now to those heights
If I wasn't Swazi I would want my sons to play for this National team. Their game is always the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
come on bro relocate to SA🤛
You have to have skill not just anyone can join😂
Ah nice to see a Swazi and Dlamini no less my best friend is a Dlamini also originally from Swaziland we just other side of the border from you guys in Jozini Zululand.

Thanks for doing this. Love it. World Rugby Cup has started. So Let the games begin. Bring the trophy home Bokke.
Most expressive sport I have ever experienced and viewed. Fathers this is where I learned of maintaining composer under extreme fitigue conditions. But the more you play a game of rugby even "touch Rugby" is like nectar to the average male mind. The game goes on after the fall. Rugby taugh me how to get up after the knock. Knowing when to stop. Understanding when the whistle really blows. I feel my country. I hear their pain but more you watch our rugby something happens. With the right coach ( Rassie). It's something to see. Long awaited and and people's choice for coaching springboks! 1995 w cup final NZ VS RSA
New sub, I'm half South African. The Springboks are NEXT LEVEL!
So proud of our team! South Africa is not for sissies 💪🏻🇿🇦
Great individual players + great team work = magic
This is why we are 3 times World Champions. Holding the title at the moment. We come out of the womb loving this sport😂❤🇿🇦
It's called a scrum my man. The Springboks top feature. It's literally a force against force where both teams are pushing as hard as they can to make the other team move backwards. We are playing a big match for the world cup rugby today! Go bokke!
I may be a hockey player, but I love the representation of our national pride 🇿🇦
Same
same here
Cannot be more proud of our South African team.
The team are fed on Braai's and Sadza. And Pap en Vleis. They are also always given the psychological advantage of playing rugby as if they are fighting a war to protect their fellow countrymen. Whenever they play, they always play super physical. Our number 1 opponent the All Blacks from New Zealand have said it was always the heaviest game to play when playing the Springboks because of how physical and attritional our boys make it. Because our Boks don't just tackle, they tackle with their everything as if their very lives depended on it. Which is why they make it hurt. And because the Boks make it hurt, they don't get hurt easily either so it's fantastic.
4:57 That's called a scrum. Basically the forwards numbered one to eight on their shirts are part of the forward pack and they are involved in the scrums and lineouts officially. Lineouts being, ball goes out and an opposition hooker (#2 on his back) throws the ball in to two lines of forwards one line from each team. This enables opposition to contest the lineouts but it also tests the strength and tactics of the forwards packs against each other. Early on in the game, the forwards packs were only used as battering rams in scrums and catchers in lineouts. They never trained to run, that was the job of the backs (#11-15) and then scrumhalf (#9) would connect between the two getting the ball from the forwards and throwing it to the backs. The Flyhalf (#10) is the standard kicker.
However, as the game got more professional the forwards would start running as well, the kicker isn't necessarily #10 although he usually is, and basically if a player has the ball he must run it.
Lastly, the idea of the guys dotting the ball down over the goal line initially was a variation of soccer or football where you didn't get any points there, that was the place where the Flyhalf would then attempt to kick the ball through the posts over the crossbar. And naturally the further out wide it was the further back the kicker had to stand. However, since the game got more professional the try as it is called, players dotting the ball down over the line, became a way to score as well and since it wasn't easy they gave it a bigger point incentive than the kicks over the posts. So 5 points for a try, 2 points for conversion, kicking the ball through the posts following a try and 3 points each for either a penalty kick or a drop goal. So it's also an amazing simply for how many different ways there are to score.
For us rugby is not a matter of life and death. It's more important than that. Proudly South African. World Champions 🏆
Two of my favourite players Faff De Clerk aka the giant slayer and Cheslin Kolbe both play for the Springboks
Love em, but Kurt Lee is something else
the only guy to evere greet royalty wearing n underwear lol
Cheslin Kolbe is one of my favourite backs ever 💪🏿
That thing where they huddle and band together, that's called a scrum.
What do they feed the Springboks? Pap, vleis (meat) and chakalaka.
Who is the little dude in the scrum cap? Probably Cheslin Kolbe. Other little dude is Faf de Klerk.
Loved your reaction!❤ Had me laughing so hard every so often. Proudly South African.
Fun fact. We (South Africa) are current World Champions and this year is the next Rugby World Cup. So if anyone wants to watch the Springboks play this year is the time.
Not just the team,the whole nation
Best thing for me is that even as a fairly divided country, when someone picks on a Bok player- he is backed up by the whole team. That’s what SA needs
4:55 - It's called a scrum whereby both apposing teams basically try out-muscle the other team to contest for the ball. Usually a scrum down is called after a player has knocked the ball forward from open play or a penalty (You get 4 options, tap and play, scrum, kick for the line or kick for posts)
Our passion for our country they go all out and hard proudly south african
Pap and vleis! That's what these big boys eat. That's basically meat protein (normally steak or a beef sausage called boerewors (a beef sausage) and a corn meal porridge normally topped with a sauce of tomatoes, onions and chillis (Chakalaka). Classic farmer's breakfast, lunch and dinner...
BTW Loved this video! It's 2023 now and we're in the Rugby World Cup final! One of the best rugby world cups ever!
The Spilringboks - Won the world cup for rugby 3 times, now in the quarter finals for the present world cup, 2023. One of the strongest and most strategically superior teams in the world, no doubt about it.
IT'S CALLED A SCRUM PROUD SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY KID HERE
There is actually two little guys with the hat on (scrum cap) it’s Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt Lee Arendse, they’re both very good players
These guys make me proud to be a South African 🙌❤️🔥🔥💪

I must say OUR SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY TEAM IS DAMN STRONG. ❤️
Our Springboks have also had some rough years which have made the wins so much better. You will often see in Club/League rugby where International players will target each other so that when the time comes to pick the Springbok Squad for the season, half of our best players get "taken out" in league, like the "Super 15" where clubs from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all play for the League Title.. Kind of like in the NHL clubs where you have players from Russia, France, USA and Canada playing together and then playing for their country against each other when the Olympics comes round. So if a top springbok is playing for an SA club, against a NZ club, the NZ club players will target that one top player so he cant play internationals, its hardcore! So basically.. That shitty tacktick MADE the Springboks tough AF and hardened them ALL!
It’s called a scrum. Proud South African here. Springboks for life!!!
We are really spoilt for choice with backline these days... Kolbe, Am, Mapimpi, Aarendse, Moodie and more excited for WC2023

That's why they call them the Springboks. They're awesome to watch. Regards from Buka, PNG.
My theory is that it starts with high school. The boys are rough and play with guys from the farms (they are big boys). They mellow down but become aware of their surroundings due to the crime in the country and can run if need be (away or to help). There is a lot of pride in their country and team so there's pressure to perform. They are gentle giants but don't mess with them, or the country's women. My nephew is the VC of his first team in an all-boys school. His skinny butt looks confused in the team pictures. Lol, he will learn.
If I remember correctly during the 1995 world cup Jonah Lomu (New Zealand) gave some issues cause he was massive and hard to stop. The S.A. team managed to get him down by 3 of them holding onto him. If there is a will, there is a way and South Africans are really good at finding a solution to a messed-up situation while laughing.
P.S. That dome they were doing is called a scrum.
The set piece where the forwards are interlocked is called a scrum. The teams push against each other to gain advantage when the ball is placed in the scrum so they can get it out.
The loose scrum is called a Ruck, same principal. The ball is kept by a player and the team mates lock in behind him to push the ball and player against the other team. This happens when a tackle is unsuccessful and the ball is kept up by the players. They ruck or wrestle to gain momentum and win the ball.
The springboks have the potential to become the best team in the history of the game this year
I am sure they are gonna win the world cup this year. Everything is falling in place and Rassie Erasmus always has the best formula to win!
The All Blacks and Springboks have played each other 103 times, with the All Blacks leading the series 61 to 38, with 4 matches drawn. Blows your comment out the water.
The All Blacks are the best team in rugby history, world cup wins will not take that away when their head to head record and overall winning percentage is vastly superior. They are probably the most successful sporting team in international sports history. The Boks lose 5 to 6 games per season Mr best team in history.
Dream boy all blacks
Eh, whens last time you beat Ireland lol
When the players are bundled together like that it’s called a scrum or specifically known as a scrum half in rugby
That massive man here is simply known as beast and number 6 is my hero siya kolisi
What they feed them? Braaivleis, biltong, droëwors and Black Label beer. Proud South African
The All Blacks and Springboks have played each other 103 times, with the All Blacks leading the series 61 to 38, with 4 matches drawn. Currently the rivalry between Australia and New Zealand is one the most played of any two international rugby union teams, and having played against each other 175 times, the All Blacks lead the series 122 to 45 with 8 draws Of the 43 matches with England , New Zealand have won 33 and England 8, with two draws. The All Blacks have won 48 Tests against France's 13, with one match drawn.The All Blacks first played against Ireland in 1905, have played a total of 36 Test matches, with the All Blacks winning 30, Ireland winning 5, and 1 match drawn.
Wanted to say this. Springboks maybe one of the best but All blacks is their stop sign.
True, that’s one way to look at it. The All Blacks have won more, but here’s another way to look at it… both countries are sitting on 3 World Cup wins, so SA won when it mattered most. If you look at NZ records out of the World Cup, you’d expect them to have 5 maybe 6 trophies. As a South African, I can honestly say that when the AB team is working well, they score tries almost at will… but that’s just as true of SA. I really want to see a WC final where both teams are at their peak. It’d be quite the spectacle.
S.A have been the better team of late but the ABs seem to evolve the game with young talent ,although at their own demise sometimes @@pieterrossouw8596
Yep and the Boks won 3 World Cups in two less attempts..
Just remember south africa didn't play many games during apartheid. Other countries didn't want to play against them because of sanctions. So yes the all blacks have the numbers but the springboks didn't play as much. And during that time rugby wasn't seen as a profession in South Africa. It was like a club, players would have normal day jobs and play on the weekend.
