South African, here.. My heart goes out to the French team.. They gave everything - still they came up short.. The gave us one HELL of a match.. I have nothing but respect for Les Blues.. May French rugby go from strength to strength.. All the best..
The fact that France beat NZ, Ireland beat SA. NZ beat Ireland and SA best France just shows how close all these teams really are. It’s about taking the moments and opportunities when presented and even one missed opportunity can cost you the game.
One of the most stressful and high intensity games I have ever had the privilege to watch. Gutted for the French , but extremely proud today to be a South African ! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
As a Bok fan, I can feel the heartsore of an amazing French team, you made us bleed today, you gave us all the hell. It was just about timing, and I feel your pain!
Yeah your player sure got a bloody nose from that red card worthy head contact tackle... Keep that head well in the sand avoiding the glaring refereeing issues.
@@Soenglish44 We still got a card and the French didn't do anything of note while Eben was off. Oh and next time your fly half could try kicking down field and not towards his own try line . That can usually win big games. Begging for a red in order to win a game will never win you a world cup cupcake.
First time in my life where I was actually sad that there had to be a loser. What an incredible rugby match. Had me on the edge of my seat for a full 80 minutes. Thank you France for the incredible match. Love from South Africa.
What an absolute awesome French team! It could have gone their way. Such hard luck the way the pools were made up. We are thankful for the win but we take no pleasure from eliminating the host nation team especially on such a stellar performance from them. Well done France! Thank you!
It could have gone either way....France was brilliant ! What a team to beat! I couldn't believe how our guys fought on ...one of the most tense games I have ever seen in a world cup! An amazing game...
As a South African, this is really the first time in this RWC that I truly felt sorry for the losing team. When the final whistle blew neither of the teams had anything left in the tank, they gave it all on the field of play. It was still anybodys' game right up until the end, but unfortunately for the French there could only be one winner, and on this night it was the Bokke. Commiserations to the French, they played a majestic game of rugby. Congratulations to the Boks!!! It took a herculean effort to win this match, and they pulled it off. Hier staan die manne. 🎉🎉👏👏🍻
@MC-cg2rr A massive robbery is the allowed forward pass by the French in the 2007 World Cup to eliminate NZ or the 2011 World Cup quarter final between Australia and SA where SA were clearly shafted. This one was just a really good game of rugby where the outcome didn't go your way. I know it hurts. Could have gone either way.
The quality of rugby in this World Cup has been astounding. We’ve all seen some of the greatest games of our lives in the past few weeks. Absolutely gutted for France and Ireland. Sport is cruel at times. Congratulations to the SH teams for all making it to the semis.
All the European media outlets were saying Ireland or France would win the World Cup, they completely disregarded the pedigree of The All Blacks and Springboks at World Cups. There's a good lesson in all of this, never write off the Southern Hemisphere teams.
I'm sure it's heartbreaking to go out by one point at home, but the French can hold their heads up high. That was rugby of the highest calibre and truly could have gone either way. That game will echo throughout history as one of the greatest ever played. I know that I speak for all South Africans when I say that the French have earned our respect. Vive la France!
As a French fan I feel like the competition between northen and southern hemisphere is getting tougher and tougher, and that is good news for rugby world. I cannot wait to see what these Irish lads can make next time as their team is amazing. French team is great too, and I want Scotland to be back on top too. And I hope that smaller rugby nations such as Portugal will keep rising. Let's take rugby world to the next level ! Rugby is the real deal.
@@There_is_something_we_can_do explain? On my side the game management of the Boks closed out the game for the French. Obviously to manage a game and control it takes skill. What is your argument?
Why we love and hate sport all over their faces. If you could rewrite the ending to this World Cup, this match and the NZ/Ireland match should have been the semi finals. Great respect for the SA captain - seems like such a gentleman and great sportsman.
There is a lot of respect from the Boks in this match: at the final whistle there is no group celebrations, just men in green consoling and commiserating with their gallant adversaries.
That a wonderfull example for all of us. I love the touchy feely ...People,this is how you do it. Be humble in defeat and gracious in the win. Both teams are winners. Thank you to France for hosting a great tournament so far. MERCI!
@@TDS-Dao Alex! Stop this whinging! No team was robbed. We get the yellow card, you lose. We play catch up rugby, you lose. We score 4 tries to 3, you lose! Seems fair to me. Well done Bokke! 🇿🇦

Hello Bokkes, as a french fan I can only admire your determination during this game. Congratulations your victory is deserved and not stolen! The level between the two teams was very balanced, it was an awesome game of rugby. Probably the best ive seen. I think there are a lot of questionnable decisions made by the referee but I want to stay worthy in the defeat. May the better team win the world cup, enjoy the rest of the competition in our beloved country and let's all appreciate a little bit more these amazing final phases!

Je suis triste et je pleure alors qu'il y a de terribles choses qui se passent ailleurs. Dans tout match il y a un perdant et un gagnant, c'est vous les Springbok. Je vous ai vu quand vous êtes venu en Corse, tout le monde, tous les Corses qui jouent au rugby vous aiment. Kobili est une personne formidable. Il a maintenant sa tête sur un drapeau Corse: la classe. On vous aime. Avec nos vœux du meilleur pour la suite de la competition....and win the cup. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🤝🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 🕊🕊🕊🌎🕊🕊🕊
What a French team this is. I can really feel your anguish on this one as the game was so tight and your team so dominant at times that I thought the boks won't be able to catch them with around 10 min remaining. Huge respect for this French team and its a travesty that they had to exit at the quarters. This should have been a semi final clash and I hope world rugby can understand the damage they have done to this event by this poor draw. The forwards of the French team were tremendous and Du Pont was master General. Hard luck. The tournament will feel a bit empty without a top class team like this.
8 hours later i am still emotional and in utter shock that we beat France with just a single point. I hate that WE 🇿🇦 had to be the ones to break the FRENCH people's hearts like that, I am gutted really,the cruelty of this particular match is on another level really...The FRENCH team pushed the BOKS from the first whistle all the way til the last kick by Cheslin. This was by far the most gut wrenching rugby match I've ever witnessed. A big shout out to the FRENCH 🇨🇵 for such an amazing game of rugby displayed. Now for ENGLAND, if only we could remain calm,focused and never have airs about us coz they are not gonna be no walk over as well,they have a point to prove as well and are coming through as underdogs so i hope Jacques, Rassie and the whole team are gonna show less arrogance but more respect to the ENGLISH...the game of rugby tends to very quickly humble those who are arrogant and forgetful. #GOBOKKE🇿🇦✌🏿
I'm Irish I was devastated when my country went out it's a hard pill to swallow I cried and cried because our captain it was to be his last match he's last attempt at this so it hurt still does so I know how the French feel
@@Donegalwildatlantic Not sure though. You dont how it feels to be robbed by the ref. Although, it's not like I'm surprised it's the 90710491729402818402nd time it happens

France definitely deserves to be in the final, so the only way we can show our respect for France now is to win the World Cup!
@@braddaynes6885 Yeah ! and it will a consolation to say that we have be beaten by the WORLD CHAMPION. Remenber 2019 , Japan hosted the world cup and SA threw out them in the quarter and won the world cup. May be te same this year. But please make an effort next time for the country who host the world cup , let them sometimes win the quarter 🙂 ! Good luck for SA !
I'm Irish, this weekend has been hard but 'rugby as a product has been absolutely fantastic. I can only imagine the amount of new fans the sport has gained!
I am French living in Ireland for 20 years. Both my teams are out. I didn't foresee that, even in my worst nightmares. I am devastated... Nonetheless, well done to the Bokkes, you did win that match on your experience, showing intelligence and adaptability on your strategy, including the coaching by Rassie. It will take a lot for both France and Ireland to get over it, but they'll be back, stronger !!!
@@ajm6464 it's one of the strongest french teams ever, on home soil with an entire country's hopes on their shoulders, losing by one point after playing their hearts out. Also it's not true, our players looked as sad and dejected back in 2015 when we lost 18-20 to the Kiwis in the semi's.
What a good close game. I feel it for France: to the French team yous are great and fought with all you had , take heart yous went out with a high performanc. To the SA team well done.yous never gave up
Wow What a game. Wow. I am 77 years young and I always watched rugby. But never seen a game like this. Wow. Congrats to two of the Worlds greatest teams in the whole world. Ever. 😊 😂🎉
I feel for the French. After making 3 rwc finals, and hosting the world cup for a second time, you will think that this will finally be their time to finally win it..heartbreak for them.. I was rooting for them. Well played to South Africa..
As a South African, they were always my second team for this comp given the exact reasons you listed. Huge relief that we made it through, but no joy in breaking their hearts.
@@MC-cg2rr you are correct and I try my best to get the message across. That being said, every country has their bad apples. South Africa maybe more than most, who knows? I must say, the reaction from some of my countrymen after NZ beat Ireland, was despicable and embarrassing. But for the most part I think we've been pretty good after beating the French.
All the top teams were so close, SA FR NZ IR ... I'm French and disappointed, but the final result comes down to nothing, a good or bad bounce, etc., but in the end, the mutual respect between those great teams can be seen in the eyes of their players and also in the comments on this video. that's rugby, and this formula is always a winner. bravo to south africa !!
Sport can be cruel but there had to be a winner. Love the French they are all class and the Boks had to give it their all. I really feel so bad for France, both teams deserved to go through.
Nothing cruel about it. The better team won. Take the L and move on like a man lol Mainly from Ireland supporters media players been doing a lot of sooking 😭😭😂 Andy Farrel took it like a man much respect to him been a fan of his since his first game of rugby league for Wigan as a 16yo in the 90s he’s a champ no matter what ✊✊
I was dreading this match all Sunday, and I was elated at the result. But my heard weeps for France. It's criminal that they're out while Argentina and England are not. I spent all Sunday trying not to think about the silence in your heart where all the hope and joy that this world cup has brought. France are my solid B team, and I hate that they're out. Thank you France for a lovely world cup. You've a young experienced team. You'll go again!
@bobbydyland : Thank you. It's very kind of you. But France had a strange relation with the RWC . The only team which have been in final without won . In France , we are more and more to think that it will better to stop this competition . no more pain , no more complains and let AB and the boks get the trophy again.
@@ericfec858 I can understand that. It's not unlike South Africa and the Cricket World cup, we've been contenders, top ranked side and never won it. This French team you've got is the best in years however, and come 2027 they'll not only have the skill, they'll have the experience. Most of the SA players who won this game and the 2019 RWC were on the field when SA lost to Japan in 2015.
@@Bobbydyland in 2015 , SA was in semi final and just beaten by NZ of 2points. We (France) are far from this target ..but thanks for your message and good luck to your team for the final.
🏉 That game could have gone either way, that was the most amazing game of rugby I have ever had the privilege to watch, history was made here tonight fellas, my children will talk of this game when they are older, forget countries, this was a game of super stars your names will be remembered for always … France have been the most amazing hosts and, the whole country should be super proud of their team, South Africa. Wow just wow, your captain Siya Kolisi is class, humble in victory gracious in defeat.amazing ambassador to the game. I have to say this because I am English, I look forward to next weekend when you play England, I only hope we can deliver a game worthy of the one you have just played, … I am literally lost for words, absolute legends both teams.. amazing guys.. South Africa New Zealand final….either way I can’t wait 🏉🏉🏉
As a South African, I am proud of the Boks. Great game of defense and absorbing pressure...but well done France, you played a awesome game of rugby...and deserved a place in the semi-final.
It's amazing that, yet again, the draw was made with the objective of giving England the easiest path. SA v France and NZ v Ireland were the real semi finals.
French team and country, well done, hats off to you. Whoever said the flair was not there, wowie, the handling and passing were out of this world. Bokke, I will be sending my hypertension meds bill to you. Thanks for standing up, answering blow by blow, helping to create a rugby gem, I'm proud to be a South African. Siya, keep going, you are a true ambassador. Wow...
As an Irish fan totally gutted after our loss to NZ, this absolutely incredible match drew me right back in and I was on the edge of my seat! An absolute classic and match of the tournament in my opinion. Well done to the Boks but totally feel for my French neighbours. I really wanted our great 6 Nations rivals to clinch it but my god what a match!!!
I felt the same. I always wanted the Irish to rise the cup if it wasn't France... Now we can only rise a pint together to sink our sadness. So close... so far
Longest 3minutes of my life, before the whistle blew! Heartbroken for the magnificent French team. I really thought they had us there for a moment. A dream final wouldve been SA vs France, but the pools didn't favour this outcome. Love to France. Well done Boks. Go Bokke!! Onwards to the final! ❤❤❤
Seeing the sad Frence faces, could easily have been SA faces. On another day, it would have been Frances game. Well played, incredible team. Dupont the best 9 in the world for a reason. This game should have been a semi final. To think Argentina and Eng going through to semi over Fra and Ire is just a farce. Proud Saffa tonight
Il est temps de passer à autre chose avec Dupont. Il est à la fois notre meilleur joueur et notre talon d’Achille. D’autres numéro 9 encore plus prometteur et moins bankable ne demande qu’à participer et à renouer avec le collectif au lieu de l’individuel. De toute façon, lors du prochain six nations il ne sera pas là et c’est une bonne chose.
a north vs south final is what a lot of us were hoping for but now we have a south pacific championship again. For all the norths talk of how superior the 6 nations is the RWC final is often the same. Southern hemisphere teams win it. Well done bok bros, commiserations to the French
Sadly this was not the final as it was the 2 best teams in the competition against each other. Someone had to lose. Both teams were great and hats off for the Boks who had a yellow card to keep their composure. Etsebet otherwise had probably his best game ever. Reinach also did his job as always. Kwagga, what is there not to say about him, WOW!
As an irish person who was weeping the day before know how there supporter's are feeling and how they must be feeling sad for them all, great match they fought all the way like the irish ull be bk
Gosh! The absolute Agony in their reactions to this loss! Man! It's killing me! But I have to admit seeing the Boks talking to them and the pats on the shoulders. . . WARMS the Heart!
An epic...a classic. XV of France were immense, so good in so many departments, Dupont is exceptional. Boks dug deep...like the Ireland v All Blacks game, both these teams, in fact all 4 teams would be worthy finalists and winners...sport can be so brutal.
Thanks my man!! As a French this sucks. Mainly because we were very hopeful that we could make our dream of winning the world cup true. There was this kind of special aura around this French team...playing at home and everything. Congrats to South Africa for such an amazing game of rugby that will be remembered forever. Backing them against England of course hahaha. Salute from Saintes my buddy!!! Let's keep enjoying our passion🏉
Very tough for the frenchies.. taking in account the outstanding work done by fabien galthier in rebuildin the french confidence and flair without compromising the necessary grit and discipline to face modern game challenges ...we have to remember how deep in the dirt french rugby was after an historic 2015 WC quarter final beat up by NZ ..they seriously put their guts back together and Have worked things out since...allez les bleus ! And congrats to the boks !
South African and die hard Bokke fan here, I am so proud and happy that our boys brought it back home for the 4th time!!!! but I think I have to acknowledge that for this specific tournament being hosted in France, “in a perfect world” the final being France vs Ireland would’ve been the icing on the cake because you would’ve had Ireland (the number one unbeaten team in the world at the time) vs France (the host nation). Not forgetting that finally for the Northern Hemisphere the cup would’ve been won there and stayed there for 4 years for the first time in 20 years 😂. But yeah my heart will always bleed green, I was saying from a “business” point of view. Oh and just love that Mandoza’s song will always be our rugby national bop lol 💚🇿🇦
Remember semi final SA France 1995 "The invisible wall" It was the invisible robbery instead. 2011 was another robbery for france The home refeereing is for all contries except france.
well, the match was very close and not easy for both teams. but France was playing in their country so to say the truth, South Africa team is really great, even with that score. I found SA really amazing.they play the real rugby..as the all blacks. the final will be new Zealand South Africa
It wasn't easy at all well done france n congratulations to my SA team the whole south african are stil celebrating ❤❤❤❤ we are so proud of you guys #GooooBokkeeee!!!😊😊😊😊 Sbongile Tyhulu.
I’m a Bok fan and I feel nothing for France. I’m exhilarated we prevailed against such a fearsome opponent. Both teams, take a bow. You fed us one of the great rugby games of all time
As a French born, though I haven't lived in France for 50 years, I 'm used to the bitter taste of defeat in World Rugby, not always fair but that's what it is, but to loose like that, at home, on front of all the fans and families is the worst feeling of my entire life hoping that one day we might lift this CUP and celebrate what France has brought up to this Holy game of Rugby. I fear I'm getting too old to ever see that happening now. It will be one of my worst memory to ever face in my last moments in life... that's what I'm feeling today. En tant que Français d'origine, même si je n'habite pas en France depuis 50 ans, je suis habitué au goût amer de la défaite à World Rugby, pas toujours juste mais c'est ça, mais perdre comme ça, chez nous, devant tous les supporters et les familles, c'est le pire sentiment de toute ma vie, espérant qu'un jour nous pourrions soulever cette COUPE amere et célébrer ce que la France a apporté à ce jeu sacré du rugby. J'ai peur de devenir trop vieux pour voir cela se produire maintenant. Ce sera l'un des pires souvenirs dans les derniers instants de ma vie... c'est ce que je ressens aujourd'hui.

@@Arnalou83 Agreed. There's basically nothing between those 4 teams at the moment (Scotland not far behind). It was a great weekend of rugby (the other QFs included.)
Du Pont is truly a magnificent player, this was the very best of him. Still scratching my head as to how the Boks came out on top but they had the composure to make it happen - well done my Bokke!
First of all I want to congratulate the Bokkes for giving one of the best match I ever seen. But now I want send a message to French people. I am hurted, I really hope that we were going to win the RWC in our land. Now we must have the courage to accept the defeat, the courage to be humble, the courage to continue to have the hope of winning one day. Finnaly be strong French people we are together.
Im scared of the french at the next world cup. They had a young team and nexr world cup i feel they will be a final team. Absolutely brilliant play from them. As a Springbok fan, you French peeps made me wet myself. Such an amazing game to watch
Rugby is the only sport that is slowly killing racism in South Africa. We all together, we all watching the game, we all supporting each other. I love my country
Je trouve que cette cdm est une réussite comme les précédentes avec de belles confrontations ne gachons pas tout même si nos équipes de cœurs ne gagne pas Le rugby lui sortira vainqueur 😉 Je suis français un peu déçu mais bravos a l Afrique du sud il n ont pas volé leur victoire 👍
Proud springbok supporter but I still feel very sorry for France, even though they lost against us I still feel like they should be in a semi-final. Really feel sorry for them.
Ben O'Keefe and the TMO? You're right. Good game with two excellent teams, but sometimes some referees are too much cowards to take good decisions too. It's not the first time in this competition that they waste/ruin the game.

American fan here. I love Rugby but it is the tallest midget. Yes SH teams have done very well in this world cup but sadly… no one really cares. Rugby is a third tier sport in Ireland, France and even Australia. Not even mentionning Italy or Japan.
Many of us who were in the stadium, saw what the referee didn't see. - Deliberate knock-on by Etzebeth (6th min) which prevented a try - head kick to Danty (17min) - elbow on Dupont face (25min) - knock on by Du Toit and De Klerk offside - we discovered that Kolbe is faster than Usain Bolt. 22m in 2seconds. 9,09/100m.... lol or maybe he started before Ramos even moved.... - and the referee in rucks was just a joke. Well played Bokkees but I just feel this was not completely fair...
South African, here.. My heart goes out to the French team.. They gave everything - still they came up short.. The gave us one HELL of a match.. I have nothing but respect for Les Blues.. May French rugby go from strength to strength.. All the best..
Great game France. I feel your heartbreak. Well done boks. What a brilliant performance by both teams.

I cannot wait to see what these Irish lads can make next time as their team is amazing. French team is great too, and I want Scotland to be back on top too. And I hope that smaller rugby nations such as Portugal will keep rising. Let's take rugby world to the next level ! Rugby is the real deal.

Spot on. Level of competition is through the roof. Experience got SA through. I wonder where the next WC will go
@@ryanwaugh1 "Experience got SA through" 💀💀💀
That's a hell of a denial
@@There_is_something_we_can_do explain? On my side the game management of the Boks closed out the game for the French. Obviously to manage a game and control it takes skill. What is your argument?
@@There_is_something_we_can_do I edited my post. Experience won’t go cause they making it again in the new players too
Why we love and hate sport all over their faces. If you could rewrite the ending to this World Cup, this match and the NZ/Ireland match should have been the semi finals. Great respect for the SA captain - seems like such a gentleman and great sportsman.
There is a lot of respect from the Boks in this match: at the final whistle there is no group celebrations, just men in green consoling and commiserating with their gallant adversaries.
That a wonderfull example for all of us. I love the touchy feely ...People,this is how you do it. Be humble in defeat and gracious in the win. Both teams are winners. Thank you to France for hosting a great tournament so far. MERCI!
Congratulation to O'Keffe.
That's amazing how France gets robbed all the time

Hello Bokkes, as a french fan I can only admire your determination during this game. Congratulations your victory is deserved and not stolen! The level between the two teams was very balanced, it was an awesome game of rugby. Probably the best ive seen.
I think there are a lot of questionnable decisions made by the referee but I want to stay worthy in the defeat. May the better team win the world cup, enjoy the rest of the competition in our beloved country and let's all appreciate a little bit more these amazing final phases!
I'm sure it's heartbreaking to go out by one point at home, but the French can hold their heads up high . That was rugby of the highest calibre and truly could have gone either way.

@@cornedenecker1636 dégage
Et parle pour toi, ne dis pas "on". Beaucoup de français les déteste.
What a French team this is. I can really feel your anguish on this one as the game was so tight and your team so dominant at times that I thought the boks won't be able to catch them with around 10 min remaining. Huge respect for this French team and its a travesty that they had to exit at the quarters. This should have been a semi final clash and I hope world rugby can understand the damage they have done to this event by this poor draw. The forwards of the French team were tremendous and Du Pont was master General. Hard luck. The tournament will feel a bit empty without a top class team like this.
8 hours later i am still emotional and in utter shock that we beat France with just a single point.
I hate that WE 🇿🇦 had to be the ones to break the FRENCH people's hearts like that, I am gutted really,the cruelty of this particular match is on another level really...The FRENCH team pushed the BOKS from the first whistle all the way til the last kick by Cheslin.
This was by far the most gut wrenching rugby match I've ever witnessed.
A big shout out to the FRENCH 🇨🇵 for such an amazing game of rugby displayed.
Now for ENGLAND, if only we could remain calm,focused and never have airs about us coz they are not gonna be no walk over as well,they have a point to prove as well and are coming through as underdogs so i hope Jacques, Rassie and the whole team are gonna show less arrogance but more respect to the ENGLISH...the game of rugby tends to very quickly humble those who are arrogant and forgetful.

@@braddaynes6885 Yeah ! and it will a consolation to say that we have be beaten by the WORLD CHAMPION.

But please make an effort next time for the country who host the world cup , let them sometimes win the quarter 🙂 ! Good luck for SA !
I'm Irish, this weekend has been hard but 'rugby as a product has been absolutely fantastic. I can only imagine the amount of new fans the sport has gained!
@devanman : in Ireland may be (and you'll deserve by your fans and your wonderful team - ) in France ............
Well done Boks that was an incredible game, two amazing QFs in as many days. Two great teams shame one had to lose but that is sport.
I am French living in Ireland for 20 years. Both my teams are out. I didn't foresee that, even in my worst nightmares. I am devastated... Nonetheless, well done to the Bokkes, you did win that match on your experience, showing intelligence and adaptability on your strategy, including the coaching by Rassie. It will take a lot for both France and Ireland to get over it, but they'll be back, stronger !!!
Don’t worry you can go for the all blacks now
This might easily have been our boys sitting there with shocked faces..man this was so close..great great game of Rugby..

But we don't cry when we lose, wtf is with the tears seriously 😅😅😅
@@ajm6464 it's one of the strongest french teams ever, on home soil with an entire country's hopes on their shoulders, losing by one point after playing their hearts out. Also it's not true, our players looked as sad and dejected back in 2015 when we lost 18-20 to the Kiwis in the semi's.
Yhoo could have been us… im soo sad for the French team…
What a good close game. I feel it for France: to the French team yous are great and fought with all you had , take heart yous went out with a high performanc. To the SA team well done.yous never gave up
Wow What a game. Wow. I am 77 years young and I always watched rugby. But never seen a game like this. Wow. Congrats to two of the Worlds greatest teams in the whole world. Ever. 😊 😂🎉
Such good Hearts all these Guys.
As a french i am very sad. Well done SA you deserve the win. Both team are very close but your bench was better than ours. Good luck against England.
I feel for the French. After making 3 rwc finals, and hosting the world cup for a second time, you will think that this will finally be their time to finally win it..heartbreak for them.. I was rooting for them. Well played to South Africa..
As a South African, they were always my second team for this comp given the exact reasons you listed. Huge relief that we made it through, but no joy in breaking their hearts.

@@MC-cg2rr You're the one saying SA only won because of the ref, mate. Go on, take the day off.
All the top teams were so close, SA FR NZ IR ... I'm French and disappointed, but the final result comes down to nothing, a good or bad bounce, etc., but in the end, the mutual respect between those great teams can be seen in the eyes of their players and also in the comments on this video. that's rugby, and this formula is always a winner. bravo to south africa !!
Huge relief at the final whistle, but also heartache for the French. Massive respect for your team, all French supporters can feel extremely proud.
Agreed. I really felt for the French last night - incredible rugby, could have gone either way.
Sport can be cruel but there had to be a winner. Love the French they are all class and the Boks had to give it their all. I really feel so bad for France, both teams deserved to go through.
I have the exact same feeling about Ireland two days ago !
Nothing cruel about it. The better team won. Take the L and move on like a man lol

Thank you France for a lovely world cup.
You've a young experienced team. You'll go again!
@bobbydyland : Thank you. It's very kind of you. But France had a strange relation with the RWC . The only team which have been in final without won . In France , we are more and more to think that it will better to stop this competition . no more pain , no more complains and let AB and the boks get the trophy again.
@@ericfec858 I can understand that. It's not unlike South Africa and the Cricket World cup, we've been contenders, top ranked side and never won it.
This French team you've got is the best in years however, and come 2027 they'll not only have the skill, they'll have the experience. Most of the SA players who won this game and the 2019 RWC were on the field when SA lost to Japan in 2015.
@@Bobbydyland in 2015 , SA was in semi final and just beaten by NZ of 2points. We (France) are far from this target ..but thanks for your message and good luck to your team for the final.

Wow just wow, your captain Siya Kolisi is class, humble in victory gracious in defeat.amazing ambassador to the game.

As a South African, I am proud of the Boks. Great game of defense and absorbing pressure...but well done France, you played a awesome game of rugby...and deserved a place in the semi-final.
I am a Bok fan, but feel so for France...
It's amazing that, yet again, the draw was made with the objective of giving England the easiest path.
SA v France and NZ v Ireland were the real semi finals.
French team and country, well done, hats off to you. Whoever said the flair was not there, wowie, the handling and passing were out of this world.

What a game - thank you for a brilliant night of Rugby . This was epic from both teams .
As an Irish fan totally gutted after our loss to NZ, this absolutely incredible match drew me right back in and I was on the edge of my seat! An absolute classic and match of the tournament in my opinion. Well done to the Boks but totally feel for my French neighbours. I really wanted our great 6 Nations rivals to clinch it but my god what a match!!!
As French. I feel the same way as you. Gutted and frustrated. Still can't over our loss
I prefer watching the Six Nations. More entertaining

Longest 3minutes of my life, before the whistle blew! Heartbroken for the magnificent French team. I really thought they had us there for a moment. A dream final wouldve been SA vs France, but the pools didn't favour this outcome. Love to France. Well done Boks. Go Bokke!! Onwards to the final! ❤❤❤
Seeing the sad Frence faces, could easily have been SA faces. On another day, it would have been Frances game. Well played, incredible team. Dupont the best 9 in the world for a reason. This game should have been a semi final. To think Argentina and Eng going through to semi over Fra and Ire is just a farce. Proud Saffa tonight
France was amazing, DuPont is indeed the best rugby player in the world. What an incredible game of Rugby, congratulations to the Boks.
Il est temps de passer à autre chose avec Dupont. Il est à la fois notre meilleur joueur et notre talon d’Achille. D’autres numéro 9 encore plus prometteur et moins bankable ne demande qu’à participer et à renouer avec le collectif au lieu de l’individuel. De toute façon, lors du prochain six nations il ne sera pas là et c’est une bonne chose.
a north vs south final is what a lot of us were hoping for but now we have a south pacific championship again. For all the norths talk of how superior the 6 nations is the RWC final is often the same. Southern hemisphere teams win it. Well done bok bros, commiserations to the French
Just too good bro , springboks all blacks final
What do you mean by a south pacific championship?
Of created will be bigger than all European championship....on the planet.
@@Ebendejongh1 You know? South Africa is next door to Tonga and Samoa.
South pacific .. hahahaha...

Northern hemisphere media needs to review their approach. Ireland and British media have the southern hemi little chance.
Sadly this was not the final as it was the 2 best teams in the competition against each other. Someone had to lose. Both teams were great and hats off for the Boks who had a yellow card to keep their composure. Etsebet otherwise had probably his best game ever. Reinach also did his job as always. Kwagga, what is there not to say about him, WOW!
As an irish person who was weeping the day before know how there supporter's are feeling and how they must be feeling sad for them all, great match they fought all the way like the irish ull be bk

Gosh! The absolute Agony in their reactions to this loss! Man! It's killing me! But I have to admit seeing the Boks talking to them and the pats on the shoulders. . . WARMS the Heart!

An epic...a classic. XV of France were immense, so good in so many departments, Dupont is exceptional. Boks dug deep...like the Ireland v All Blacks game, both these teams, in fact all 4 teams would be worthy finalists and winners...sport can be so brutal.
In this mood, in this tournament, the spring boks looks unbeatable.. I think France played superb but still it wasn’t enough in the end
Well done Springboks, such great sportmenship, picking up your opponent spirit. Worthy match
Commiserations France,I know how your feeling,it hurts.I’m a kiwi,and you guys have knocked us out of the WC twice

Thanks my man!! As a French this sucks. Mainly because we were very hopeful that we could make our dream of winning the world cup true. There was this kind of special aura around this French team...playing at home and everything. Congrats to South Africa for such an amazing game of rugby that will be remembered forever. Backing them against England of course hahaha. Salute from Saintes my buddy!!! Let's keep enjoying our passion🏉
Got to love our boys, humble, respectful & calm! So proud of them 🙏🏽❤

😂😂 jinne snot en trane😂😂😂😂😂😂
An outstanding match by two of the best sides in the world. It is a great pity that the two sides don't play each other more often.
That Nkalakatha track in the background.... proudly South African
My heart is with the French. I can remember how we, South Africans, felt in 1995 when we won the cup on our field.....
Very tough for the frenchies.. taking in account the outstanding work done by fabien galthier in rebuildin the french confidence and flair without compromising the necessary grit and discipline to face modern game challenges ...we have to remember how deep in the dirt french rugby was after an historic 2015 WC quarter final beat up by NZ ..they seriously put their guts back together and Have worked things out since...allez les bleus ! And congrats to the boks !
You feel for France, even if you are SA. They left their hearts on the pitch..... RESPECT!
South African and die hard Bokke fan here, I am so proud and happy that our boys brought it back home for the 4th time!!!! but I think I have to acknowledge that for this specific tournament being hosted in France, “in a perfect world” the final being France vs Ireland would’ve been the icing on the cake because you would’ve had Ireland (the number one unbeaten team in the world at the time) vs France (the host nation). Not forgetting that finally for the Northern Hemisphere the cup would’ve been won there and stayed there for 4 years for the first time in 20 years 😂. But yeah my heart will always bleed green, I was saying from a “business” point of view. Oh and just love that Mandoza’s song will always be our rugby national bop lol 💚🇿🇦
Southern Hemisphere teams are world class
What a close games it was for both The All Blacks and The Springboks. Probably the best RWC quarter finals matches ever.
Remember semi final SA France 1995 "The invisible wall" It was the invisible robbery instead.
2011 was another robbery for france
The home refeereing is for all contries except france.
The music is on point 😄
well, the match was very close and not easy for both teams. but France was playing in their country so to say the truth, South Africa team is really great, even with that score. I found SA really amazing.they play the real rugby..as the all blacks. the final will be new Zealand South Africa
It wasn't easy at all well done france n congratulations to my SA team the whole south african are stil celebrating ❤❤❤❤ we are so proud of you guys #GooooBokkeeee!!!😊😊😊😊

As a French born, though I haven't lived in France for 50 years, I 'm used to the bitter taste of defeat in World Rugby, not always fair but that's what it is, but to loose like that, at home, on front of all the fans and families is the worst feeling of my entire life hoping that one day we might lift this CUP and celebrate what France has brought up to this Holy game of Rugby. I fear I'm getting too old to ever see that happening now. It will be one of my worst memory to ever face in my last moments in life... that's what I'm feeling today.
En tant que Français d'origine, même si je n'habite pas en France depuis 50 ans, je suis habitué au goût amer de la défaite à World Rugby, pas toujours juste mais c'est ça, mais perdre comme ça, chez nous, devant tous les supporters et les familles, c'est le pire sentiment de toute ma vie, espérant qu'un jour nous pourrions soulever cette COUPE amere et célébrer ce que la France a apporté à ce jeu sacré du rugby. J'ai peur de devenir trop vieux pour voir cela se produire maintenant. Ce sera l'un des pires souvenirs dans les derniers instants de ma vie... c'est ce que je ressens aujourd'hui.
But it's only a rugby game, the sun will shine again tomorrow?
All the top teams were so close, SA FR NZ IR ... I'm also French and disappointed, but the final result comes down to nothing, a good or bad bounce, etc. but in the end, the mutual respect between these great teams can be seen in the eyes of their players and also in the comments on this video, that's rugby, and this formula is always a winner. Bravo to south africa !!

@@Arnalou83 Agreed. There's basically nothing between those 4 teams at the moment (Scotland not far behind). It was a great weekend of rugby (the other QFs included.)
Le problème de ce sport c est l arbitrage. Et en France contre les anglos saxons on joue souvent à 15 contre 16.
Du Pont is truly a magnificent player, this was the very best of him. Still scratching my head as to how the Boks came out on top but they had the composure to make it happen - well done my Bokke!

as was said weeks ago there is not much between the top 4 and anyone of them can beat any of the other 3 teams on any given day
You forgot to add New Zealand beating Ireland lol
First of all I want to congratulate the Bokkes for giving one of the best match I ever seen. But now I want send a message to French people. I am hurted, I really hope that we were going to win the RWC in our land. Now we must have the courage to accept the defeat, the courage to be humble, the courage to continue to have the hope of winning one day. Finnaly be strong French people we are together.
Im scared of the french at the next world cup. They had a young team and nexr world cup i feel they will be a final team. Absolutely brilliant play from them. As a Springbok fan, you French peeps made me wet myself. Such an amazing game to watch

Who's behind the music system? He knows how to choose songs for the moment.
Many of us who were in the stadium, saw what the referee didn't see.
- Deliberate knock-on by Etzebeth (6th min) which prevented a try
- head kick to Danty (17min)
- elbow on Dupont face (25min)
- knock on by Du Toit and De Klerk offside
- we discovered that Kolbe is faster than Usain Bolt. 22m in 2seconds. 9,09/100m.... lol or maybe he started before Ramos even moved....
- and the referee in rucks was just a joke.
Well played Bokkees but I just feel this was not completely fair...
