Dan Bigger is an incredible addition to this pod big Jim!
The greatest honour in South Africa is not to be the president, or to be the king, its to be a Springbok 👑🫶💙
❤️
Us South Africans absolutely love Jim Hamilton and Dan Biggar both for their incredible contributions in Rugby and for their pure humble ways. You boys should really be top pundits because you set incredible examples for everyone as male role models!
Humble? That’s debatable. Contributions to rugby .. that’s fair
@@Sineadhawk well we are used to the arrogance of New Zealand pundits, so yeah in comparison they are humble
Definitely bro
We love them because they're complimentary to our heroes. We love being flirted with
"Am I after this podcast a Dan Biggar fan, or a Biggar Dan fan?"
Dan's insights are really good 👍
😂
I liked Biggars Gees when they came to SA. They fronted and were physical and he lead that. Top man. Ans him Goodey and BJ make great show.
Brilliant
I’m a Fan Diggar Ban
Love this podcast. Genuine rugby lovers celebrating what makes rugby great. Dan Biggar never heard you speak before, you are a revelation as a presenter. Keep on doing this.
Big Jim is a great interviewer 👍 👌 👏 😊
Need to do more of these full video pods on UA-cam.
Just curious, where do they post it? Always wondered where they end up if not on YT
@@PJSO they normally just post clips here snd there
@@shaldon93 yeah I know, I asked where the Podcast is actually posted. Ive googled it so no worries.
@@PJSO oh sorry man I misunderstood. It's on Spotify
They make more money from Spotify. So there only ever gonna post clips on UA-cam
Eben and Vince echo the importance of our springbok senior players giving confidence to the young sharks, so impressed with their mature performance and win at the stoop
As a Welshman and someone who knew Dan and his family I knew what a lovely guy he is so I’m thrilled to see how well received he is off the pitch
I think that Pieter Steph Du Toit deserved a mention in that final, he was a warrior !
Jordie Barrett still hasn't left his house in fear of getting blindsided.
@@sandorclegane3658 Jordie Eina Barret you mean
It’s apt he didn’t. That’s the humility of PSDT. But everyone who watched that game will never forget. Absolute legend and role model in the true spirit of Mandela
Maybe an interview with Pieter is in the pipeline 😊
He was amazing
Deon Fourie is such a good story, and such a good example of the really high baseline ability that so many SA rugby players have. They really churn out so many, it’s incredible and a challenge for everyone else to find a way to compete
Gotta say Im lovin this new SA v Ireland rivalry . The Springboks are such a huge team and for Ireland to even be close to their level is amazing. Cant wait for the tour later this year. Great interview men 👏
As much as I love bantering them leprechauns I fully agree
We don't see Ireland as our rivals
@@lalilali9917 We do.
@@lalilali9917yes we do
What an amazing interview, am a proud Sourh African leaving in the UK and having a deeper insight to what the boys bring was awesome. Thank you for the amazing work you do Big Jim. Can't wait to see the interviews you had with Pieter Steph and Ardi 🎉
Dan Bigger was a great addition. What a chilled guy. Makes it feel like the Boks Office, just mates hanging out chatting rugby and dissing each other in between 🤣🤣
Everybody on this Pod is Class.
Thank you.
It was great seeing Eben, Vincent and the rest of the Sharks' Boks really step up in the second half of Challenge Cup semi-final. That last try was great and set up by Eben's great take in the air!
After this interview you can’t tell me Clermont is the reason the Sharks won… 🇿🇦💪 rugby journalism at its finest, cheers lads
Thanks Big Jim for the quality content to always look forward to. You are rugbys Dana White. Still a fan
One of the Best games I have ever seen, of course there are others, but SA vs WAL 2019, amazing tactical games ever.
Dan Biggar is a legend as well 🇿🇦
Awesome interview thanks guys
The Springbok selectors are going to have an ever increasing dilemma in 5 yrs from now. The pool of young players being inspired, is MASSIVE
Respect for Jim and Dan🙌🙌🙌
What an interview!! 2 humble players interviewed by 2 of the greats at the art of engaging!! Keep up the great work!!
Awesome stuff Jim & Dan, great interview
Loving Dan as a part of the team. Makes my favourite rugby pod even better. Cheers lads, love your work!
Brilliant . Jim you are a legend. Dan Biggar, awesome guy, great addition. I was in the stadium at that game at Loftus and we all loved you since then. Could literally see your passion and enjoyment that game. Was awesome. Love from SA
Eben and Vincent are super humble guys. The way they speak of their teammates and South Africa as a whole is amazing. I love you guys, keep SAns smiling through rugby.
By this interview he doesn’t sound humble
@@Sineadhawk is this because of the comments about Ireland?
@@aphiwemagengelele2975 and Courtney .. Wild how Eben remembered to count 12 players out of 23.. after an adrenaline filled game… I suspect one might have said something like hope to see you in the final. I think Eben should name the 12.. see how accurate his memory is then
@@Sineadhawk he said "PROBABLY 12 PLAYERS" This to me suggests that he is not sure of the exact number. Did you ever think, what if he is right? Would that change how you feel about him and start considering that Irish players need to be humble? I it would be better to wait for Ireland players to respond. For now i have not heard any response which makes me think Eben is not lying.
@@aphiwemagengelele2975 ah stop 😅 don’t use semantics as a cop out. Even saying 12 seems oddly specific.. I think he should come out and name then.. seeing as he has a fantastic memory… and you can’t say irish players need to humble on the backend of a bok making a comment that is more than likely untrue .. show me one piece of evidence or even pre or post game media with irish players interviews .. you won’t find any that backs up your claim.
Jim and Dan are class!!! Thanks from 🇿🇦
Love Dan's input. No bias, just a player.
Hello from North Carolina! Saw your interview with LRZ and decided to subscribe and further check out your podcast.
Such humility from Eben.❤
Dan Biggar is such a cool dude.
Blessing to see people from different corners of the world come together and be united appreciating each other . One Love. Love Rugby jou poes 🏉
Dan Biggar is just class. Legend ❤🙌
Such a bunch of lovely blokes
alright man! is no one gonna call out Vincent or should I say Mr Incredible
I struggled my Arsch off to enroll in rugby pass TV. They piss me off with their petty laws. Please use UA-cam to broadcast the other podcasts. I am a Springbok supporter and a big rugby fan of all teams. I love Rugby Pod.

Much respect Jim & Dan…says a lot about you to be at the level you both were and still be humble enough to compliment the opposition…that’s what rugby is all about 👏👏
Awesome podcast, 4 very articulate guys discussing the great game!
I'm glad Dan Biggar is agreeing with that the Springbok way is the winning way. Some people may disagree, and their welcome to it, but what is annoying is how a lot of people are trying to force rugby to be more running rugby. You can have running rugby and power rugby at the same time. That's what makes rugby union so great. Otherwise we would all be just playing rugby league.
BJ you and your team did it again! Great Podcast. Big(gar) fan.
Great interview!
Simply fantastic Jim, the Lads present ~ THANKS‼️🥂
ALL TIME MOMENTS…
👊🔥

Vincent is such a humble legend

Yes until the plan work....
I think the best strategy for this channel is: post the podcast on your partner platform. 2. Post it on UA-cam free a week later - this is where you'll build an actual audience
Elizabethii!!🔥🔥
Big Jim your podcast is great, keep it up and thank you.
See you guys in the final was a compliment to South Africa. It wasnt arrogance . Eben took it wrong
I suppose coz so many of them said it, probably seemed a bit too confident. But yeah it is possible that Eben just took it the wrong way.
😂😅
I think so too but he wasn’t being mean or taunting about and also Jim knew exactly what he was doing by asking him if he remembered what Eben said to him at the time.
Lies. They looked beyond the ABs. Rookie move. They should never have said that either way, no matter the context. Especially because a lot of them said it
It may have been intended as a compliment to the Springboks. But it was based on the assumption that they themselves would be in the final and that simply signalled to Eben that they might not be as focussed on the AB game as they needed to be. So, he didn't take what they said the "wrong way", he just read from it something about their mindset at the time and his resultant conclusion about the possible outcome of the AB game turned out to be accurate.
Nice work Jim
Another brilliant podcast Jim, almost a full-hour long. Wondeful to see 4 ruggers just having casual honest chats. Great to see the 2-time WC winners who are also fathers and to hear their experiences. Again, great content. Keep up the beautiful work....Any chance we're getting the interview with the lads in Japan soon?
Jim and Dan should try become coaches because they love this game so much
Really nice people.Respect
It amazes me how Dan Biggar who could be such an a*-hole on the field, can be such an utterly nice guy off it 😀. Great show! Keep 'em coming, Jim!
south africa is a beautiful flawed wonderful thing
as are you two
Big ups to the Springboks for having depth in many positions. Jessie Kreil 2003 and Lukhanyo Am 2019. World Cup winners at 13🎉🎉🎉
Dan - I echo you. That Loftus game in 2022 was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I still google the slap fest between Jim and Eben in Nelspruit😂😂
My sister met Dan and Zammit that night in Cape Town! Awesome guys!
that is called South African exceptionalism! great stuff
In either 2014 or 2015, I unfortunately had to disturb Eben for a photo while he was on winter holiday at Avalon Springs😆😆😆
Still have the photo, worth it💪🤘
Brilliant
I really love Dan Bigger on the show. Adds a lot.
Jim is a bloody good host. Dan also.
How humble is Dan Biggar?
All such decent and humble guys - all a credit to the game of rugby.
Dan Biggar deserves all the praise in the comments. Use him more
Glad to see Ireland are living rent free in Ebens head.
You'd think he'd be happy with a WC win 😉
Guy like rassie , is what this country need. He proved beyond doubts that he loves his country. Not this politicians who uses people for their own personal enrichment. If rassie could be a president ,I will definitely support him. We need such people, problem with SA white is racism and having guy like rassie to break that we see someone like Mandela doing it from our side but rassie on the other side seems great.
Fantastic podcast Dan to Eben and Vinne, why can Bafana Bafana not do the same ???????. Rugby was not popular amongst the majority of the South Africans, yet when the Springboks play in the WC and win South Africans go crazy.
Elizabedi maak hom vas ..Time to come home Eben . Stormers is your real home😮
If you know anything about rugby you will know the scrum is all about the tide head and not about the lose head
So thank you Vincent for the win over England it was all about you and nobody give you the credit The same with the turnaround for the Sharks We almost lost the WC 😮😮
Dan Biggar is actually a lekker oke ey
Of course we have a long way to go. SA has been in a unique situation. Racism was written in our constitution as law. Then we had one party who has been credited with overturning that. Then to be given too much power is very unhealthy as we can see. Our masses still suffering. But the fact that there's fragmentation might look like there's no unity, but I see it as people thinking for themselves and wanting change. We never thought it would be possible 20 years ago. So it's a positive. That is the journey unfortunately we are going through because the 80% of people are transitioning from still trusting from the experience in the past. We all have to play a part in making the transition. We can't afford to stand aside and complain

You got an interview with Mr Incredible....
Anybody know where an American can watch Chasing the Sun 2? Is it available for purchase somewhere?
Hosted by, what it seems, two huge Bok fans lol. Love it.
Rugby lovers who respect other teams and players.
It was actually 2 penalties that SA beat Wales with in 2019. With the 2nd penalty the Boks chose to kick the ball out because no more points were needed to win.
So 1 then?
19-16
@@mvubu6823 The second penalty allowed the Boks to seal the victory without needing to kick for posts. At the end of the game the Boks were camping in Wales' 20m zone and won a scrum penalty, which they could easily have converted into points and which would have then increased the score difference to 6. Because they didn't need the points and rather than taking the risk of a possible rebound off the posts, they elected to kick the ball out because time was up. This fact points to a slightly more comfortable win than what the 3-point score difference shows.
@@johnjames6620 but not in the view of 3 players who actually played in the game and are giving their thoughts?
There was nothing comfortable about that win.
@@mvubu6823 Actually Eben and Vincent didn't give a response to Dan's comment on the issue of Wales losing by only 1 penalty. My response was specific to the words that Dan used which was that it was just 1 penalty (not one score) that prevented Wales from going to the final of the RWC.
Now, in the first place his comment is technically incorrect (whether you played the game or not) because in the absence of the (converted) penalty that he was referencing, the scores would have been drawn and, therefore, this specific penalty did not, on its own, prevent Wales from going into the final, because more work would have been required for them to have got there
In the second place, penalty does not necessarily mean points on the score board and I was making the point that SA won because of 2 decisive penalties, being firstly the one that increased their tally to 19 points and the second being the scrum penalty that allowed them to kick the ball out and end the game.
The drive the point home, should SA had elected to go for posts with the final penalty and in the event of them being successful, it would have then increased the score differential to 6 points, meaning that Wales would have needed a converted try to win the game.
@@johnjames6620 they kicked the ball out because it was a 3 point game
Hit the post and game continues with the slightest chance Wales could still win.
You're trying to prove an irrelevant point. SA was never in control of that game. We scraped through and got off the pitch the moment they could.
Score was 19-16
There's no guarantee of a kick going over which is why they kicked it out
What achievement is it to win with an extra 3 points at the end of a death match ?
The most important thing about rugby is to not lose its identity. It's supposed to be violent, it's supposed to be a clash of titans. If you like running rugby then league is your game. Rugby union is original and should stay that way
I'm all for bringing tech into making accurate on field decisions though. I think that's where rugby is losing its audience. Below par officiating.
Make the rules safer, simpler and easier to understand and you will bring the full coliseum again
Your answer to the question why they winning those 1 point games is very much what they saying…. One more thing and the most important thing is they all winners at this game in their own positions and Rassie is a winner, and that is a G. D given gift. That 1 point , that player who scores when he beats the odds… that’s a gift.
The late Kitch Kristie also had that gift in rugby….Rassie and Kitch see who those winners are and we’re and choose them…
Another great reason to be proud to be a Springbok fan is to know our team won 50% of RWC tournaments they had participated in and the "greatest team on the planet" won 3 out of 10. Like 30%. Did we mention they played in 2 wold cups more than the Boks. Its like getting into the ring with Mike Tyson in 1989, get your face smashed in and say he fought unfair and then brand yourself the greatest boxer of all time. Nah, not even close. 😂😂
Its funny that people forget how bad the boks were at the middle beginning of ebens bok career. This guy fought hard for long.
"See you in the final" is a tongue in cheek comment. Silly stuff
48:40 pure comedy gold 🤣
That India 🇮🇳 comment from Eben 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥
Can really get into rugby podcasts. Subbed.
It's really silly but you kind of expect these freakish huge guys like Etzebeth to be a bit dumb, like all his biology points went into bulk and power - but then he speaks as eloquently as anything. Dunno if the stereotype was ever true or it's just the movies and TV we grew up with, but hearing rugby legends speak and seeing kindness and humility is really refreshing. I compare this to some of the fitness/bodybuilding influencers online and its night and day.
In Durban kan hy teminste in die see swem😂
The amount of random things that had to go south Africa's way for them to win three games by one point in a row hasto be a mathematical impossibility 😅
The Springboks is a TRAIN. Can start slow, but once we get our 1st try (biggest secret) - the train gets momentum, and momentum, and momentum, - and the speed keeps increasing and increasing, this is why it's hard to stop the Boks. You can see the Irish never experienced THIS in a world cup, even after defeating the Boks - you can see it on all their faces. "like WTF" Why we sing this song at all our world cups. "Shosholoza"
note to rugby world: flattering saffas will get you everywhere.
And make it easier to beat them. Saffas struggle being favorites but find their inner mongrel when their backs are against the wall.
Wat a great dhow
Poor Off the Ball ireland crapping their panties over this interview
Why? The weather, the proper food including meat, the outdoor life, good school sport as a must, the physical attributes of the Afrikaans people and initially the wish to get one back over the rooineks (British oligarchic empire). A very dirty war created by the oligarchs of the Empire is never forgotten. Now we jointly have the same problem via the current oligarchs based mainly in American Empire nowadays.
Your partner in growth, no matter how crazy the idea! 😅
Where is Biggar from?
Dan Bigger is from Wales
Listen, that smile is definitely gonna last a year, one day? Haha no. Thanx for making us happy.
Fucken Mr incrediblw🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Boks (SA) missed out on 2 x RWC's and only competed in 8 x RWC's they have won 4 Gold medals/cups,, 50% success rate.. IRL and France did very well to sharpen their pencils and stack the odds.. 2027 50/50% chance Boks will take it for the fifth time? Rassie still behind the wheel
