Tim might not be a South African, but given how complimentary he is to our rugby we’ll henceforth refer to him as “a friend of ours” (to quote The Sopranos). Hands down my favourite rugby UA-camr and can’t wait for you to experience what our country has to offer!
My fellow South Africans please treat Wales with respect. We must be humble while being fearsome. The Welsh play hard rugby, we are testing new combinations and you never know how the ball will bounce on the day
As a Welsh fan ive been really impressed by SA fans in the last few years. I'm not gonna lie a few years ago it was super toxic and unpleasant but I have huge respect for how Bok fans have become alot more humble and respectful and proved that they are a class act just like their team. I don't think many fan bases would win 2 world cups and become more humble and SA have done that and more so massive respect for that 👏
The Welsh are tough buggers, when we do beat you it's never a big score, will always support the Welsh in the 6 nations. Dan Biggar led a team in SA 2 or 3 years ago and that Welsh team earned a lot of respect and friends. I will be at the game at Twickers, give me shout and I will buy you a couple of beers
Never judge fans by internet comments. The most opinionated, strident individuals always come to the fore. There are one-eyed fools everywhere. I wouldn't even judge anyone by one-eyed hot-headed comments about sports teams anyway. I love losing my head and hating on refs myself. Sometimes when watching a match I feel like dousing the oppo fans in boiling oil, especially the Froggies. But it's just a release valve though, and as long as you understand that you're indulging in emotion porn and vicarious battle and your opinions are entirely subjective, there's no harm. Without the emotional investment winning wouldn't be such a buzz.
@jameswyatt4443 Wales have beaten the Boks a few times, so never win is an interesting statement - never implies no time period. But the Boks will win this comfortably, as Wales aren't playing well at the moment and aren't even at full strength.
@@chrissheldon9427 Grow up. You don’t have to get into semantics with me buddy. The point is this comment says Wales ‘have always been a formidable opponent for the Boks’ which if you look at their record is simply not true.
Thank you for giving the Boks a fair shake always. Wales is a monster opponent and have given us a bruising in the past. We must never go in underestimating them.
That was probably their biggest mistake from the last cycle, besides hooker, that they did a poor job of addressing and you know they will not make that mistake again.
There was no mistake, there was Covid which lost us 2 years development, an extra year compared to others thanks to nonsense from NZ and Aus isolating us and playing without us the first year. How do you blood new talent when we had none playing, no SR etc. Bok management did the job with the hand they were dealt wrt 2023 WC cycle, Squidge did a great vid on it. Squidge
He looks great ... but he needs to come through that barrier second year in top level rugby with the same shine. That's the real challenge for all young stars. Analysts at this level will find even your smallest weakness and exploit it, so how quickly a player adapts is key. Roos is a perfect recent example ... it's taken him a year or two longer to make those adjustments than expected, and already there were questions starting to be asked. Thankfully he seems back on track again.
As a Saffa we mustn't write off the Welsh. We always struggle Gainst them for some reason. The game will be tight. I'm hoping some of the newbies put up their hand for the Irish tests.
We struggle because they play an almost identical system to ours - or at least did for many years. This is the same system that England adopted in the World Cup semi, and we all know how that turned out. I expect another tight game determined by fine margins. I don't think we'll see the influence of Brown and a new attacking philosophy for some time - it wouldn't even be wise to reveal our hand so early in the World Cup cycle.
Although we English are blessed with depth in certain positions, this SA squad + players to come back in, are absolutely immense. Honestly, it feels like you have 4 or 5 generational talents coming through whether it's in the pack or the backs. If all goes well and those guys are experienced and fit for the next world cup it feels like the triple is on.
Thank you. It is a scary thing to say, but in 5 to 10 years time, that Bok depth is going to be twice as impressive. There is currently a revolution of youth/school rugby in SA which we have only started seeing coming through. It is so impressive that I have been watching schoolboy rugby over URC recently. Not just physicality and skill, but more importantly mental toughness and never-say-die.
Tim. I’m so looking forward to your takes after you’ve watched the SA schools rugby and Craven week. Probably the best rugby you’ll ever see. You’ll be amazed at the grass roots of rugby over there. Have a blast. Rugby is blood in South Africa.
Hi Tim People need to understand this is just a first of a whole list of upcoming games and whom Rassie picks now might not play the next game. In the end Rassie will test everyone of his call ups so Masuku will get his turn and as far as Manie is concerned is Rassie knows how he plays now he needs to test the younger flyhalves. As South Africans we should just be grateful we can start building towards 2027 so early. So much young talent putting their hands up I think Rassie might be able to send 2 teams to the next WC.
The world wanted a Springbok team that plays entertaining rugby, well there you go world. Rassie has delivered again. Photographers and Cameraman get your equipment ready. The 'Kaap se Danse' will show the world what Cape entertainment is. That backline. Licking my lips.
Haha, i’ve been going back and forth on this as well. Should we do it one last time, or should we ensure that it only happened that one time? It might make it even more legendary.
Looking extremely good but we've learned hard lessons throughout the years. Let's humbly say we expect to do very good. I won't like us supporters to become big headed. Let's stay grounded and wish the Boks all the best. 🎉 Go Bokke! ❤️🇿🇦
@@angusevans0621 Between 2016 and 2018 the Boks lost 4 tests to Wales without a single win. During the 2019 World Cup campaign Wales would have eliminated SA if it were not for a solo try by De Allende. Wales' strategy is the closest to that of the Boks and very difficult to counter - even by the Springboks themselves. I heard players like PSDT openly admitting this in interviews.
In terms of front rows - the Bulls have Steenekamp. Grobbelaar, and Wilco Louw who broke, bent and wiped the floor with the Irish golden boys the past week! Scare factor upgraded!
(12:02) 100% correct Tim. This depth has been developed since 2016 and continues to grow. It's not about what happens at the WC it's what happens between them.
Suprised at no Musuku but give him time, still another 12 games of the year. But exciting times for us Springboks fans - love to see Grant Williams having stamped his place in the team.
Thanks for your insightful coverage! I have been a Springbok fan for decades. IMHO, South African rugby has never had so much depth, ever. The emergence of new talent, especially over the last 12-24 months, has been staggering. There is enough potential to field at least 3 competitive teams!
Awesome Capturing Tim, You Are An Awesome Rugby Analyst Presenter Influencer. Well, Done Mate..... We South Africans Loves Your Way Forward, Futuristic Analysis.
Heading to Twickenham this weekend!!! I'll need to duck out early to find a pub and watch the Bulls - sad to miss Fiji and Barbarians. Bulls for the win! What a bumper rugby day. Not often the Boks are starters for a Bulls main event!!!

Tim, I thoroughly enjoy your podcast and your commentary. I always look forward to hearing your views because they're fair and honest. I'm a Springbok fan through and through, but enjoy good rugby wherever it's played. I hope you have a fantastic time in SA. I can't wait for the upcoming matches. Go Bokke!
stoked to see Kwagga starting, PSDT as captain is a great choice and as a Lions fan I'm extremely stoked about Edwill getting a chance at Bok squad. Was hoping Sanele Nohamba would get a go but possibly in later tests?
Tim . . . . I think you need to become an honorary citizen of South Africa. Free trips to all rugby matches included. Good on you mate. You are very kind about us SA teams.
Wild to see south Africa progress over the last 20 years. From arguably low down on the list of tier 1 countries, to indisputably the best and deepest roster in the world. Truly a joy to see, from a former springboks detractor (Bakkies era thuggery when I first started watching the sport soured it for me)
Hey Mate,I'm a Saffa based in Paris..really enjoy your show and rugby insights ,it's my birthday on June Sat 22 so hopefully the bokke will give me a rugby gift 😊 Enjoy my country the boys will look after ya over there.
The talent in this team is undeniable, but I do think we have struggled in the past with getting the players to play with fluidity and chemistry. Wales are a tough side, and I expect them to bring the fight.
Love ya channel still after all this time! I'm Seth Efrican & fully connected to the news over there but heard the team first FROM YOU! Thanks mate. Good luck from Sydney for your SA trip. Go the Bulls as well! Even tho Sharks are my team.
So excited, cant wait! I have a feeling Hendrikse and Van der Merwe are going to hit the ground running. So excited, oh I said that already 😅. First game since WC. Exciting team of fresh internationals to watch, cant wait. Exciting Rugby this weekend hell! Thank you again for sharing
Rassie said that the Stormers players had effectively only been practicing with the team for two days when the team was picked. That may have influenced the fly half decision, I think.
Great show - thanks Tim. Let’s hope they play good rugby and don’t go in too gung-ho or take it lightly! There’s no guarantee of the result and I’d hate it if they went in just assuming they will win!
This is the first video I've seen of yours (ty UA-cam algorithm) and I'm pretty excited to see the rest! Love the way you spoke about the players and what they bring to the table. Lekker man!
6:44 Nope, I thought Masuku would start to be fair. This is a nice blend from Rassie of experienced plus new blood. Remember number of these guys play in Japan so need game time before Ireland test. The crazy thing for me is the players that aren’t available and still to add to this bunch: Siya, Libbok, Am, Pollard, lood Wiese, Kitchoff, Arendse, Willemse, Moodie
@@lmarislmarislmaris4271 Evan Roos used to be a penalty / card magnet, but has tightened up his game in the last year or so. He also gets less cards than Wiese and even Esterhuizen has sat out 11 odd weeks for two red cards. Support the team, boet, even if you don't like the player. We have to trust Rassie knows what he is doing - after all I think we can say he has proven himself so far lol.
Looking forward to watching some of the new faces play at Twickenham this weekend. PSDT captain is great news, what a player! Wales have in the past been a bogey team for us taking us close in World cups but feeling confident that this weekend they going to perhaps has a cricket score posted against them. Fiji Ba Ba’s is going to be good as well.
The Springboks are stacked in every position, with amazing depth. I dont think there was ever a time were the boks had this influx of talented players all at the same time. The boks can have 3 squads with all world class players easy. What a job for Rassie when he has all the players available and fit. 🇿🇦
Tim our Booooy...!!🤘 like our team a lot.. but we cant underestimate Wales... they have a great recent record against us...but still, some exciting talent! Like Jordan Hendrikse a lot!!
As a South African. We never underestimate Wales. They are a nation with massive fight in them. They won't and don't go away. Going to be a great game. Excited for the new players coming through.
Remember Japan! As a South African Bok supporter I am always fearful of over confidence and Gatland is a wily bastard I love. The Boks have a great team, but they are changing their game and it takes a bit of time to perfect. On paper we have the upper hand. Let us just respect Wales as well.
Thanks for your awesome content as always, very excited for this side, never disrespect your opposition! Rassie is being respectful and rightfully cautious, I would like to have seen Morne Van Der Merwe get a chance.
Yes it’s a exciting team and I can’t wait to see what they can do! You said Boks by 30….. Maybe I got too much respect for Wales and Gatland, SA v Wales are always good battles! So I do think it will be a bit closer than people think!
Some knob commented on a post I made about boks being an exciting team saying and I quote “there is nothing exciting about the boks”. Well well well good sir. Have a look and weep. This team selection surprised and excited me. I can’t wait for the weekend. GO BOKKE!
I know that SA has had the better of Wales in the last few games but certainly Wales, and also England to a certain extent, are teams that could both beat the Boks on a given day simply because they play a similar style -- tough forwards and solid backs. All good on defence. Hopefully the mix of youth and experience of the Boks will be good enough to come out on top come Saturday.
Love this video. did not see jordan happening but we hope for the best...he has a lot of potential to grow into a well rounded fly half. on the other hand our wings and full back is a great choice.
Howzit Tim, you legend! The best rugga pundit around, much respect boet! 🙌 Really appreciate your phenomenal insight in this complex sport we love as much as our simple biltong and beer, cheers! 🍻 If you're traveling through Sandton City Mall in Jo'burg on a Tuesday or weekend, pull into the Breitling Boutique for a "refreshment" on the house.

My fellow South Africans please treat Wales with respect. We must be humble while being fearsome. The Welsh play hard rugby, we are testing new combinations and you never know how the ball will bounce on the day
I feel the same way, with Gatland as coach they will always be dangerous.
I'm sure the Springboks will treat them with respect and not take a win for granted.

No, on paper anything can look invincible. That rugby 🏉 can fck up a good teams day with three wrong bouncers.😂

Hi Tim. Your pronunciation of the players' names has improved tremendously. Spot on.
Very clever of Rassie to immediately address the depth issue at flyhalf. He’s making sure that he has plenty of options in four years time.
That was probably their biggest mistake from the last cycle, besides hooker, that they did a poor job of addressing and you know they will not make that mistake again.
There was no mistake, there was Covid which lost us 2 years development, an extra year compared to others thanks to nonsense from NZ and Aus isolating us and playing without us the first year.

Support the team, boet, even if you don't like the player. We have to trust Rassie knows what he is doing - after all I think we can say he has proven himself so far lol.
Hi Tim Welcome to South Africa Safe travels .
Really happy for BJD and Sacha!
Both class players
What an era for the springboks ❤
Hope more new talents get opportunities to play this year. So exciting!
My personal favourate test. Wales always brings it and usually a very close game. They play a very similar game to us. Love it!
Hi Tim safe travels to SA..you will be most welcome...there are still many more players for Rassie to see that the world havent seen yet......
Never knew you had such a connection to South Africa. Welcome to our fold. 🎉
Really enjoy your humor Tim😁👍🏼
Looking forward to watching some of the new faces play at Twickenham this weekend. PSDT captain is great news, what a player!
Wales have in the past been a bogey team for us taking us close in World cups but feeling confident that this weekend they going to perhaps has a cricket score posted against them.
Fiji Ba Ba’s is going to be good as well.
The Springboks are stacked in every position, with amazing depth. I dont think there was ever a time were the boks had this influx of talented players all at the same time. The boks can have 3 squads with all world class players easy. What a job for Rassie when he has all the players available and fit. 🇿🇦
Tim our Booooy...!!🤘 like our team a lot.. but we cant underestimate Wales... they have a great recent record against us...but still, some exciting talent! Like Jordan Hendrikse a lot!!
As a South African. We never underestimate Wales. They are a nation with massive fight in them. They won't and don't go away. Going to be a great game. Excited for the new players coming through.
As a Saffa, it prides me to say that another fresh new scrumcap-wearing winger -with a mean side-step- is gonna make their debut this weekend.😂
Another spot on vid! You understand SA rugby just like we do :) Enjoy your trip out here!
Glad you visiting South Africa... Luv your chanal.
Remember Japan! As a South African Bok supporter I am always fearful of over confidence and Gatland is a wily bastard I love. The Boks have a great team, but they are changing their game and it takes a bit of time to perfect. On paper we have the upper hand. Let us just respect Wales as well.
Thanks for your awesome content as always, very excited for this side, never disrespect your opposition! Rassie is being respectful and rightfully cautious, I would like to have seen Morne Van Der Merwe get a chance.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The boys still need to do the job. Wales will bring everything they've got! Go Bokke!!!
Yes it’s a exciting team and I can’t wait to see what they can do! You said Boks by 30….. Maybe I got too much respect for Wales and Gatland, SA v Wales are always good battles! So I do think it will be a bit closer than people think!
Love this channel. Keep up the great work Tim.
Love this channel's insight. Always on point. World class stuff
Some knob commented on a post I made about boks being an exciting team saying and I quote “there is nothing exciting about the boks”. Well well well good sir. Have a look and weep. This team selection surprised and excited me. I can’t wait for the weekend. GO BOKKE!
I know that SA has had the better of Wales in the last few games but certainly Wales, and also England to a certain extent, are teams that could both beat the Boks on a given day simply because they play a similar style -- tough forwards and solid backs. All good on defence. Hopefully the mix of youth and experience of the Boks will be good enough to come out on top come Saturday.
The saffers have ridiculous strength in depth. It's one of the main reasons they're capable of winning back to back world cups.
Love this video.
did not see jordan happening but we hope for the best...he has a lot of potential to grow into a well rounded fly half. on the other hand our wings and full back is a great choice.
Go Bokke...can't wait for you to come to SA and experience our gees
Will follow you Through.Have a super safe trip. Blessings.
We appreciate your analysis Tim..much love brother❤❤
Ja, Hendrikse is a surprise selection for me, but I am stoked to see what he can do.
Tim really enjoy your channel. Hope you enjoy SA. I am sure you will. Best wishes David
I used to go to the same church as Ben-Jason. The guy is an absolute unit!!

Howzit Tim, you legend! The best rugga pundit around, much respect boet! 🙌
Really appreciate your phenomenal insight in this complex sport we love as much as our simple biltong and beer, cheers! 🍻
If you're traveling through Sandton City Mall in Jo'burg on a Tuesday or weekend, pull into the Breitling Boutique for a "refreshment" on the house. Enjoy die gees at the matches and have a lekka time in Sunny South Africa! 🔥😎
Best of luck wales, I always have belief in wales. From a South African hoping for a great game.
