Wow! Can't remember them being this good and fluid with the ball. Really impressive. No wonder they seemed to dominate so much for the next two years with them peaking in 2009.
South Africa were awesome in this tournament. Really feel this World Cup win doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Between 1995 and 2019 which were much more emotional wins this one was special because Jake White and the players created a winning team despite the SA Rugby Union sabotaging them every step of the way.
I've vowed to watch this World Cup South Africa won every so often until my passing from God's good earth, whoohoo! Wade Goodwin, The FAIR Digest, Cape Town
This team are remembered for (a) avoiding the All Blacks (b) that supposed England try - what we forget is how skilful the steam were; the offloading and passing is sublime!!!
We didn't avoid the All Blacks, they couldn't make it past the semi-finals they lost to an average French side. If they made it further in the tournament we would have played against them any time.
This team was ridiculously talented i mean they were so fluid with their ball handling and had world class players in every position. The 2019 side is brutal physically but not as talented as this one .
The first thing i shouted after that try saving tackle was "PIETERSEN FOR PRESIDENT", no idea why but it stuck and every time he did something fantastic after that that is what i shouted. Pietersen was very underrated, I'd love to shake his hand oneday,.... Oh yeh i forgot about Covid,...... 😅
We nearly slipped on a banana peel that day. Game changed when John Smit came on and also their flyhalf, who was tearing us apart, did his ankle near half time and went off. Those two things swung the momentum of the game back our way.
Excellent. I still don't know why ANC did not renew Jake White's contract. Mind boggling. This team could have been the 1st team to win 2 rwc in a row.
They have never scored a try in an RWC final match even though they have won it twice. RWC 2007 was well deserved win. It's such a shame ABs didn't manage to go to the final match. It would have been a great match.
Because the springbok is racist, it reminds dark skin toned people of a time they were discriminated against by being forced to share toilets with other dark skinned people as they were not allowed to poop on the same toilet as a lighter skinned person. Also they were not allowed to roam around neighborhoods where they did not live during the night time hours. Many dark skinned individuals just wanted to do some sight seeing at 2 in the morning in towns they did not live in but they weren't allowed to and the springbok reminds them of that time.
With Jake White before these other idiot coaches took over Springboks was 2 win ahead on the record games against NZ. We still had it and still deserves the name of Springboks. After Jake all went to shit because of South African Racial politics in sport and coaching. The 2007 squad beaten all competition including NZ those times and win the world cup. This South African team that won the 2019 world cup couldn't beat the All Black's on the world stage and if the All Black's would have played in that Final they would took it. South African rugby is not up to standard. I am routing for the All Balcks for next world cup
@@theultimatesharpshooter6734 He did well, but we could've dominated it. I love the way the Springboks play but I'd love to see them not just win but dominate because they do have the potential
@@veliem3935 Look the plan for the Boks since Rassie took over was meant to bear fruits in 2023. The fact that they are where they are now already is crazy. I've got a feeling this world cup cycle will see the Boks dominate if it is managed properly.
Such a great flow with exceptional handling skills! The 2007 Springbok World Cup squad was something special.
I agree 100% 🎉🎊🥰those were the days l remember l was heavily pregnant with twin boys today l get to tell the story
@@feliciawana & ur twin boys got to celebrate another world cup
Yet the bulls and boks of this era was blamed for playing boring rugby
It was more Heynecke who prayed boring rugby not Jake White
Who is watching this during the 2019 world cup😰😰Lets go bokkies💪🔥
that aged well

This was the Strongest WC bok side we ever had: Habana, Steyn, Montgomery, Beast, James. Petersen. This lot cleaned NZs clocks regularly.
You forgot Bakkies, Vitctor, Juan Smith, Os, Danie Rossouw. In fact you should just list the whole team.
Beast was not in 2007 RWC team
How many times have the sides played each other and what's the win loss score again?
57 ñil that's a clock cleaning boyo
@@stevebrinston7281 that squad would rinse most all black squads… staying on point.
The offloading of the ball was fantastic. No surprise we became world champs.
When Habana is running, he does look like a Springbok.
This team was flawless, their handling was on point.
Always loved JP Pieterse
Such a solid runner, not crazy fast but brilliant at finding the gaps and maximizing distance. Awesome defender too.
Offload game was insane in 07. Somehow the international media always never rate us and we have 3 gold medals.
They're too busy kissing All Black arse.
I've noticed that. They discredit us every chance they get. Truly bullying
4 nowww 🎉🎉
Good god! I forgot how fast bryan habana was😱
"OFF YOU GO HABANA. OFF YOU GOOOO!" I miss Oom Hugh
The best springbok team ever
I want this rugby back. Neck-breaking pace, offloading left right and centre. Those were the days.
No team could touch these Springboks back then. No team. it was Habana's World Cup.
Its coming home
oww 4 sho cuz.
Yes!!
An it did, u r a rugby prophet so tell us who will win In 2111

2007, 2011 and 2019 were my favourite Bok Wc teams. 2003 I absolutely despided
Agree completely. In 2003 we had a tool as a coach and a thug as a captain.
@@Martin-pb7ts Ja Corne Krige - never was there a worse Bok captain.
2009 much better than 2011. Beat the Lions, beat NZ 3-0, won the Tri nations and was the team named by Richie McCaw as the toughest he ever played.
B.HABANBA
ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST FINISHERS IN RUGBY..... !!! 💯🔥.. LEGEND...
Awesome clip! Habana my pick for all time best SA no.11. 15 I almost want to say Percy, but still need to think about it.
I think I may be addicted to the Springboks.
Even with an average fly-half, SA team was insane. A monster pack, a world-class scrum-half, brilliant backs: too good.
Average ?.. Better then any other fly half
This team was ridiculously talented i mean they were so fluid with their ball handling and had world class players in every position. The 2019 side is brutal physically but not as talented as this one .
When Eddie Jones was part of a rugby world cup winning side. That my friends is irony.
lol.
Wow what a squad that was!
Yes man, when Bryan gets the ball, the other guys must just say "Good night !"
i remember JP saving a try 😢 legendary
The first thing i shouted after that try saving tackle was "PIETERSEN FOR PRESIDENT", no idea why but it stuck and every time he did something fantastic after that that is what i shouted.
Pietersen was very underrated, I'd love to shake his hand oneday,.... Oh yeh i forgot about Covid,...... 😅
Yeah that hit was epic! I felt it back home……… who said wingers can’t tackle! JP jou doring!
He was proper aggressive
Don't forget Danie Rossouws try saving tackle agianst England
Did the boys play a quicker game with exceptional handling skills in ‘07?
The last try was the best by Brian
You spelled his name wrong
2007 squad was too strong 😦
I agree!
That Fiji game was tough
Yup, I was shatting myself!
We nearly slipped on a banana peel that day. Game changed when John Smit came on and also their flyhalf, who was tearing us apart, did his ankle near half time and went off. Those two things swung the momentum of the game back our way.
Hugh bladen is such a legend in the commentary box.
Missing Fourie du Preez but Faf is consoling me.
Du Preez was terrifyingly good! On another level.
@@RRSmurf IKR? his reading of the game was sheer brilliance.
next week it's rugby world cup 2019... excited
We Won Lol
GO BOKKE 2023
Juan Smith was an outstanding blindside
Miss watching Bokke rugby
Eddie Jones and jake white great combination of coaching staff
Excellent. I still don't know why ANC did not renew Jake White's contract. Mind boggling. This team could have been the 1st team to win 2 rwc in a row.
They didn't like his surname....now if he was Jake Brown it would have been different
@@sakabula2357😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope Cheslin is going to be our new Bryan
Nah Cheslin Is Gone
@bdgmouss368 well that didn't age well
They have never scored a try in an RWC final match even though they have won it twice.
RWC 2007 was well deserved win. It's such a shame ABs didn't manage to go to the final match. It would have been a great match.
we'll take a third World Cup and if its without a try so be it. Enjoy your bronze medal.
That Habana sprint in the last try damn
What a team! Such slick hands. Forgot what an exciting team this was!!
Me too hey
Eddie Jones was plotting our downfall 🤣🤣
😂 😂 😂 Mxm
I twas disgusting that until this day, Eddie Jones was never given a Springbok blazer by SARU. Bunch of miserable arseholes.
Juan Smith was having a ball in France!
Smith vs PSdT is a lovely conundrum 😁
HERE AFTEF WEVE WON THE CUP IN 2019 💚💛
we had beautiful offloads back then
The best rugby team ever
The commentary for the USA game has to be the most pathetic thing you ever heard.....
Fo real
The *support play* and *consistent* off loads are so missing from the current team. Such a pity.
That was in my opinion the best Fiji team
Lets Repeat History. SA
Love Jonah.. but Habannah the King..l
*Most Dangerous 'Boks Squad Ever!*
P.S: Where in the world is JP Petersen?
Back at the sharks bru
Who is watching during the lockdown?
Beautiful handling boks looked like a baabaas team with those offloads
I wish Hugh Bladen was still commentating.
If this, and our current rugby, is boring; then, the people who say that are really watching different games than I am.
Huh
0:33 that's one hell of a position right there
they were so deep, all the squad were legits starters
who is the better captain John Smith or Kolisi ????????
In 2007, Smit.
In 2019, Kolisi.
Mxm all the talk that we dont play attractive rugby
To me, our defensive game is attractive rugby.
EZ Rolly our defence won us this would cup final as it did ka 2019 world cup too

Was the best team we had this one cud have easily beatin up the all blacks.
They did in 2009.
57 nil.
This springbok were running
The best team ever yes ! I miss François Steyn!
So the Boks stopped scoring tries after Argentina??
Who else should they have scored against? The final didn't have tries
Jerrrrr 07:22🥺🥺🇿🇦🇿🇦♥️♥️
"you biscuit! what a try" any saffa will know the biscuit
Percy Percy show no mercy
If there was a movie for this team Adam Reynolds would be the perfect actor to play Butch James
Do u mean Ryan Reynolds...?
Who is Adam Reynolds...
They. Took advantage of Tonga so they quickly got changed and jumped on haha
High Bladen :)
