I am a New Zealander and a Hardout All Blacks fan and I was very proud and happy that South Africa beat England 😁😁😁 now we are both 3 times Rugby World Champions. Congratulations South Africa
I think we've always have a love and hate relationship with New Zealand as the Springboks. We both want the other one to win when we not playing against each other.
Every time I go watch the Springboks matches people just assume I'm one of the friendly Japanese fans who support the Bokke. But no, I'm South African. Asian, Chinese, South African. I'm proud of our boys from the bottom of my heart. I cried a lot when we won.
I strongly believe that around the 33rd minute of the game was the moment that South Africa broke England's confidence. No matter how many Phases went by the English could not get past the legendary defence of the Springboks.
Frank I am struggling to recall a defensive performance that comes even close to this at a match of this importance ANYWHERE. When they say defense wins you games, this is definitely what they meant. Textbook stuff right here.
100% man. I still argue that the World Cup was decided in those 3 minutes. Those big hits from Marx and Vermuelen on Vunilpola really summed up the physical intensity of the Boks in this game. Great to watch and overall despite the final score, it was actually a really enjoyable final.
I agree England were demoralized in that period but every time they tried to regroup and started getting some self-belief back Springboks destroyed that tenous new found hope with points! Great day for us and great year winning the Rugby Championship as well as the Rugby World Cup
Watching live we all knew that it was over if we could do that to them. They had nothing after that. We could've had another try if we wanted. Revenge is sweet and every single person in that squad deserved gold.
@@daaichommie708 don't forget to mention that it was enjoyable for us and the rest of the world. But for England, they were breathing through the wounds
as an AB fan in lock down there is no better game from recent times, a gem reminding us the great talent of the Springboks lead by a coach who believed in them...EPIC
As a South African this win brought so much joy to me and my family & we are by no means die hard rugby supporters. I watch it now & again and I do know what’s going on. This match was incredible and for the springboks to win by 20 points in a World Cup Final is phenomenal.
@@YoyoZee ..yes ..says it all about the team..and how its wasnt about individuals..but about 1 team unified.. and bringing glory to our nation..Am was also instrumental in getting the ball wide after marx bashed the english player..sending kolbe on his way..

England fan here and a proud one it was a honour watching this game even though we lost but South Africa fully controlled this matchust respect for the people of South Africa coming together for rugby it's not the country what's a mess it's the politics same here in the UK with the Brexit stuff much respect 💪
I think the game would have been amazing if England could have managed to get a start like they did against the ABs but as a bok fan I have to say I'm happy it went the way it did.
Luke Chadwick Good on you. Thanks for positive comments. You have great potential in England. Watch, within next 10years UK will be economic powerhouse again (and probable work cup winners come 2023!!)
SA deserved to win undoubtedly. England were completely flat after the NZ game and just never turned up against SA. It'll be interesting to see what the players say about it after Eddie Jones leaves because there were quite a few stories circulating around at the time. Congrats to SA. Their country has serious problems across the board so if this brings them together then it's worth it for that alone.
It is so beautiful to see Luhkanyo Am pass to Mapimpi, his best friend, to give him the honor of scoring the first try in the finals ever for Springboks, Rugby is a game of values and that is a beautiful representation of those.
The try by Mapimpi (and Am) threw me into celebration, then the try by Kolbe had me in tears. I will forever remember this match and this day. Long live the Springboks.
I'm a Mexican who grew up in the US. I loved football, the soccer kind. I've never seen a rugby match and this is so awesome! I was never really a fan of the nfl, I think it's wack. College American football is good, but this sport blows american football outa the water. It's so dynamic, I love it. How is this not popular in North America?
It’s getting there! The MLR’s really gaining momentum, plus so many players from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa are rounding out their careers in the MLR. Plus, the US women’s team are powerful as
Americans are soft. they won't play a full contact team sport unless they're covered head to toe in padding and helmets. Even with a population of 300 mil+ they still wouldn't ever become a tier 1 nation in international 15s
ABs Fan Here. So proud SA beat England I hate how Cocky they were after beating us. South Africa always will win these because they show and do things that other rugby teams know little of... *Dedication* *Desire* *Discipline* *Determination*
You knew the writing was on the wall when, before the game, the BBC's rugby correspondent was asked to pick a combined England-South Africa XV and chose not a single Bok. You knew the writing was on the wall when the England players were told they'd never have to work again if they won the final. You knew the writing was on the wall when Sports Direct, the UK's largest sport retailer, started manufacturing and selling England RWC Champions t-shirts before the game had even started, let alone been won. And if you approach a rugby match against the Boks with that kind of arrogance, you're destined to be disappointed. The only reason New Zealand consistently beat SA is because they never take the Boks lightly, and that is a lesson the English should have learned before embarking on their premature celebrations.
This is keeping me alive during lockdown. Diesel Dwayne preventing two tries on our tryline, catching all those kickoffs and winning two penalties. Man of the match in my book. This final is definitely the best one ever and it will be difficult to top this game.
As a South African, I often forget how great our defense is. It's like living in Cape Town, I see the beauty of the City and nature so often that I forget how beautiful it all is. I went back and watched that time stamp and man o man, beautiful defense from SA. I'm a proud bokkie!
I'm a Yank, raised on football, but Rugby is the one sport I watch religiously. Since we don't have a very good rugby team, the Boks are the team I follow. And I just wanna say: how does the chakalaka taste, England? Spicy enough?
Awesome to see thanks for choosing the boks, this year you have Major League Rugby starting in the states, so you will have your own teams to support. The Beast has recently signed a MLR contract. Just like sevens rugby, when the USA gets its fifteens act together they will be a force to be reckoned with.
@@gazza2232 Oh No that was the best vid on the final! Couldn't the RWC executives see that it was a good job and was informing people? geez talk about the short-sightedness of these people. Didn't they just make the most money of any world cup to date?
@@stephenreeds3672 Just two examples. Before the final, the nauseating plonker Matt Dawson said that if he had to pick a joint England-SA team he wouldnt pick a single Springbok player. Another deluded pundit (Ugo Monye), who writes for the Guardian and appears on various rugby channels, claimed that "no team can match the physicality of England" and that England were likely to beat SA by 20 points Those are just two examples of the incredible hubris of the British media and many England fans.
@@tonysa2337 except those two examples are both ex-players and bound to give a biased, if not arrogant, opinion for fun. ANY ex-player pundit regardless of sport eg. happens all the time in football, would confidently predict a win for their old team. That's what they're paid to do. Either way, as for your last point - so what? All countries, commentators and press are biased towards their own team, it's nothing new. "British" media? England have to put up with all kinds of shite from Scottish and Welsh media constantly. How come England are the arrogant ones when everyone else is doing it just as much? Just sports bullshit, live with it and stop moaning.
@@selbymashile9108 Tears of joy! I have nothing against England, but in the unfair world we live in, full of inequality, malnourished children and extreme austerity, it just feels righteous SA won.
If you looked high in the night sky of this match, you can see the starry image of Nelson Mandela smiling with pride, like he did when South Africa won the 1995 World Cup. While the finals were truly awe inspiring, nothing beats that day of 1995 when that match against New Zealand brought the Nation of Post-apartheid South Africa together. And that spirit of unity still shines here till this day. Go South Africa!!
South Africa much deserve win, awesome game from both teams. England tried but looked abit slow at the end, well Kolby had the ball everything looked slow. Thanks🇳🇿💯😎
I have the honour to watch this live in Japan, what an atmosphere and what a game, will come down as one of the great finals in a RWC final. Congrats SA 👍👍
Is much as it breaks my heart to watch to my beloved England. South Africa's defence was impregnable. Utterly stone cold solid and admirable. You don't get much better than that defensive display. I have to applaud them and how solid as a rock they stayed the whole match.
Looking back at this, the Bokke's defence coach has to be proud, there was definitely no way through for ENG..everyone knew their role & worked in support of each other. Beautiful game
When the England team failed to score at the 30minute mark they realised that no team on earth was going to stop the Boks. They were simply bullied in all aspects of the game. Welcome back Springbok rugby!!!!!
That edging moment when England tried to score however Springbok defence was dangerous like a climate change the best defence ever preventing a try on score line
7:53 - 10:40 is the reason why I keep saying when armageddon comes, I wanna be in a bunker defended by the Springboks. Breathtaking defence, for me these 3 minutes during the final were the most intense.
Lets try amd get their attention maybe they will, i hope they will, watching this game will make this whole quarantine thing worth it of course that is other than the flattening the curve thing..... Help we need need this game
I will always remember this day. Watching it in a Bangkok bar and all day, the streets were full of Boks and English fans in great spirits. It was a magnificent match and so happy the Boks won. Roll on France 2023.
Very underrated player in my opinion! Doesn't always get the acknowledgement he deserves. Dubbed him the silent assassin as he's rarely misses a tackle without even people notice!
@@rhyswilliams4006 I believe the Boks have fooled everyone at RWC19 during the pool stages, it's if they intentionally kept to handling and skills a level below. Just think for a moment, how can you from your previous game (Wales) just jump into perfection mode, it takes time (several games) as one has to spot a improvement from game to game but here they just deliver it spontaneously. Therefore I believe they've been great a while ago but just kept it for the final.
@@jermeeuropa9986 absolutely, if you look at the achievements over the last two years after the record loss to the AB's we always had it in us. The moment Matt Dawson (I think) picked an all England team when asked to make a combined team of SA and England, I KNEW we would hurt them. Every single player tore away any shred of doubt held against them as players over the years. No one was going to stop them and rightly so, the English are far too entitled and don't know what rugby means to a nation. We are the greatest RWC team and hopefully we'll keep that going for generations to come, the Rainbow Nation...
After watching the ABs get well and truly outplayed by England it was great to see South Africa do the same thing to them. Well Done Bokke, bragging rights for 4. long. years.
From a different angle I would pay my respects to England, you played a brilliant world cup worthy of winning it but caught us on a good day. Be proud of your great side and more so thrashing the ABS. Well done the bokke and God bless .
Mapimpi's Try I can't get enough of it. Wonderful try dude. Kolise: " we come from different background, different races but we have come for one GOAL". THANK POI. SPOT ON!!!. EXCEPTIONAL AND UNEXPECTED RESPONSE.
@@teesaw8197 Try NZ-SA in 2012 for game of the decade. And then ask yourself this: how can a country like SA, which has been falling apart at the seams for decades, win so many trophies? The only other people on earth who could manage that under the same circumstances are New Zealanders, and this precisely why the ABs and the Boks wipe the floor with everyone else.
I am here mainly for England's attempt at scoring a try in the first half. Even as a bokke fan and watching the replays it had me on the edge and nervous thinking they're gonna score and probably did score lol. One of the BEST defences I've ever seen ❤
I never tire of watching this video. The underdogs triumphed. England were no doubt exhausted after their tough semi-final but it's all equal on the day and what a match it was. Rugby is the best game in the world when it's played in this way and there are no bitter words afterwards. Everyone goes for a beer and a get together.
Then go and watch all the games we won in the 1995 world cup. I think that was even better. Remember giant Jonah Lomu running over everyone, except the Springboks?

All south africans are green and gold
I was beyond proud 🇿🇦🏆🇿🇦
So true.
The Springboks' defence is just too much.
@alexander usyk okay then
@@mohammadshabih5293 that deserves no response😂
@alexander usyk alright then m8???
TOO physical, too brutal, too relentless, too good, too south-african!!
@@ziyahhavea355 You speak the truth
South Africa much deserve win, awesome game from both teams. England tried but looked abit slow at the end, well Kolby had the ball everything looked slow. Thanks🇳🇿💯😎
The South Africa defence was on a whole other level. Took you long enough to upload this video.
Was uploaded by the ANC. They first had to decide which MPs wife would get the tender, the how they would share the 40,000% mark up profits.
Can't stop watching this. By far our best game in a final
I have the honour to watch this live in Japan, what an atmosphere and what a game, will come down as one of the great finals in a RWC final.
Congrats SA 👍👍
Finally the upload, ..........but Faffe De Klerk, proves once again that he's the Habanna of the series, ......everywhere at the same time !
Congrats South Africa! From Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Terima kasih banyak dari orang melayu afrika selatan!!!
Thank you.
Terima kasih teman teman.
Mooi
Salaams Hafizh you have a wonderful and friendly country
As we say here "Lekker boet"
England after semifinal: “World Domination is ours!”
*Distant sounds of ‘Hie Kommie Bokke’ and Vuvuzelas.*
Warren: You've played your final
Eddie: Enjoy your 3rd place playoff
Rassie: Silence (Gets down to work on a plan)
Bless Warren was bang on.
Lol just imagine. Chicken licken would kill that ad!
Bucket with a face on it you sound sad
Bucket with a face on it take a joke buddy 😂. It’s clearly just for the laughs, don’t get so offended my dude.
Is much as it breaks my heart to watch to my beloved England. South Africa's defence was impregnable. Utterly stone cold solid and admirable. You don't get much better than that defensive display. I have to applaud them and how solid as a rock they stayed the whole match.
ENGLAND SHOULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER SPORT THAT YOU CAN WIN.
RUGBY IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU!!
Great win for the boks ALLBLACKS fan here love them springbok boys
Looking back at this, the Bokke's defence coach has to be proud, there was definitely no way through for ENG..everyone knew their role & worked in support of each other. Beautiful game
i think you should to sport ngoba yhey 10/10
It's Jacques Neineber... Brilliant coach
Lost count of the number of times I watched this. Glorious.
When the England team failed to score at the 30minute mark they realised that no team on earth was going to stop the Boks. They were simply bullied in all aspects of the game. Welcome back Springbok rugby!!!!!
3 years later, I'm back here just to watch that defense 🙌🙌🙌
That edging moment when England tried to score however Springbok defence was dangerous like a climate change the best defence ever preventing a try on score line
@@bhekimpilomoyo9582 indeed it is something to behold my brother.
Hehe - Same here, 4 years later.
Congratulations South Africa👍👍

Finally, i had almost given up...but yes, im gonna watch all 23min 47 seconds of this.... 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
7:53 - 10:40 is the reason why I keep saying when armageddon comes, I wanna be in a bunker defended by the Springboks.
Breathtaking defence, for me these 3 minutes during the final were the most intense.
You wanna play rugby during Armageddon ?
Ja man lekker
They uploaded with Internet Explorer.
What is Internet Explorer?
😂😂😂
Good one
The video was probably edited using Paint
I thought they used Netscape Navigator.
Easy to find if you use Webcrawler.
Who is watching this in quarantine.. Lockdown .
I hope they upload the full match.
Worldcup rugby pleaaase pretty please upload the full game

Thank You Bokke! I will never ever forget this match! This was a life changing experience and South Aftica are ONE!!!

That says it all, greetings from the UK.
lol... they also 'forgot' to show the penalty that England missed
@@siyasangasauka4207 😂
Wtf! I feel proud and i ain't even South African😂❤️
I love u bro
Yoh I just watched this video clip again and I stil get emotional and goosebumps at the same time. Groen en Goud. Ja BOK se kind. RSA
I will always remember this day. Watching it in a Bangkok bar and all day, the streets were full of Boks and English fans in great spirits. It was a magnificent match and so happy the Boks won. Roll on France 2023.
Lukhanyo Am was in both tries, the pass to Mapimpi and the the pass to PSDT who then passed to Kolbe
He was so calm, one of his breaks forced a knock on in English territory. We got a scrum and you know what happens when we scrum 😏
Very underrated player in my opinion! Doesn't always get the acknowledgement he deserves. Dubbed him the silent assassin as he's rarely misses a tackle without even people notice!
Everyone shone, every single player in green and gold was MOTM for me...
@@rhyswilliams4006
I believe the Boks have fooled everyone at RWC19 during the pool stages, it's if they intentionally kept to handling and skills a level below. Just think for a moment, how can you from your previous game (Wales) just jump into perfection mode, it takes time (several games) as one has to spot a improvement from game to game but here they just deliver it spontaneously. Therefore I believe they've been great a while ago but just kept it for the final.
@@jermeeuropa9986 absolutely, if you look at the achievements over the last two years after the record loss to the AB's we always had it in us. The moment Matt Dawson (I think) picked an all England team when asked to make a combined team of SA and England, I KNEW we would hurt them. Every single player tore away any shred of doubt held against them as players over the years. No one was going to stop them and rightly so, the English are far too entitled and don't know what rugby means to a nation. We are the greatest RWC team and hopefully we'll keep that going for generations to come, the Rainbow Nation...
After watching the ABs get well and truly outplayed by England it was great to see South Africa do the same thing to them. Well Done Bokke, bragging rights for 4. long. years.
Still brings a tear to my eye. Awesome BOKS well done SOUTH AFRICA
From a different angle I would pay my respects to England, you played a brilliant world cup worthy of winning it but caught us on a good day. Be proud of your great side and more so thrashing the ABS. Well done the bokke and God bless .
Lekker komment hierdie, welgedaan
My dad cry that whole night when we won the final
Finally - how about the entire game be uploaded next for us Bok fans?
Yes
😂👌🏾
Dhirshan Gobind yesssss
I would actually watch it again.😅 I don't know what i still felt nervous watching these highlights though i already knew we won
Can't wait.
England definitely know what a braai is now. Springboks had them for supper.
Mapimpi's Try I can't get enough of it. Wonderful try dude.
Kolise: " we come from different background, different races but we have come for one GOAL". THANK POI. SPOT ON!!!. EXCEPTIONAL AND UNEXPECTED RESPONSE.
most of the southern hemisphere went for south africa- did us proud!!

Finally after a decade, what a wow.
Ummm it's been 12 years
Numbas not your strong point?
@@blankidelics close enough!
Honestly this was south africa's best game in the tournament
It’s probably their best game of the decade
That's what you do in tournaments: peak at right time
SA saved their best for last for sure
@@teesaw8197 lol
@@teesaw8197 Nah, best game was against Canada, Poms just made it look easy as they are shite
@@teesaw8197 Try NZ-SA in 2012 for game of the decade. And then ask yourself this: how can a country like SA, which has been falling apart at the seams for decades, win so many trophies? The only other people on earth who could manage that under the same circumstances are New Zealanders, and this precisely why the ABs and the Boks wipe the floor with everyone else.
Springboks played a clean disciplined worldcup I am so proud of them
Antoi Kirs for once it was clean
@@AceDeclan What do you mean for once?
On all springbok videos the English say the Sptingboks are filthy players. The reality is the English are weak because they can't handle physicality.
Living in Australia now but so proud of our team 🇿🇦❤
Go Bokke ❤
Although a shortened version, this is one of the best commentaries I listened to on that fantastic game.
This game still makes me cry !
SA let’s do it again 2023 🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥
When I miss home, I watch this. So proud. Greetings from Chile
i recorded it. i watch it once every couple of months to remind me that victory against all the odds...and people , are possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saludos wn como estai?
Who else is still watching and can't get enough of this match??...
Am marking a register🙋🏽♂

The Bokkes World Champions, are tough sons of guns.
Congratulations men.
From a Kiwi.
still watching this in 2023, amazing South Africa, one of the best matches i have ever seen, Respect from Italy.
2024 still watching it
salute the rsa team, great match, great men,great victory! from france
Thanks for the extended highlights much appreciated. Felt good watching this sober I was even teary. Proud South African.
I am here mainly for England's attempt at scoring a try in the first half. Even as a bokke fan and watching the replays it had me on the edge and nervous thinking they're gonna score and probably did score lol. One of the BEST defences I've ever seen ❤
South Africa has been a dark place lately, so I'm here to just remind myself of the good parts of our nation
A year on and we are still in dark place. It is called load shedding
I never tire of watching this video. The underdogs triumphed. England were no doubt exhausted after their tough semi-final but it's all equal on the day and what a match it was.
Rugby is the best game in the world when it's played in this way and there are no bitter words afterwards. Everyone goes for a beer and a get together.
underdogs? hmmm
Springboks defence was insane
Those two big hits on Englands number 8 by Marx and then Vermuelen summed this game up.
The best that I've ever seen.
like the commentator said, it was like a *WALL*
Those two tries will never get old.
south africa's defense was stunning. never saw anything like it. wow.
Then go and watch all the games we won in the 1995 world cup. I think that was even better. Remember giant Jonah Lomu running over everyone, except the Springboks?
Hot stuff ja
@@Deontjie would be a good video ...the change in defence tactics over the years ....especially this drift defence.
I am watching this video at least once a week. And I am always watching with tears in my eyes!
