As a Saffer, I know it's easy to be magnanimous in victory, but the All Blacks deserve our respect. They played outstandingly well with only 14 players. What a final!
That red card was bloody ridiculous. I don’t even see why it was a penalty, and I’ve played rugby for 30 years. It’s not netball. Ruined the game. But if it was a red card, why was Kolisi’s any different? And I’m not a kiwi
@@adrianthomas2251 that’s the most ridiculous red card ive ever seen. Ruin the game. I don’t even see why it was a penalty. What is rugby turning into?
As a saffa living in New Zealand, I always have rugby banter with my neigbour son(he is 8 years old). After the game he came to shake my hand and congratulate me on the boks win, with tears in his eyes, I couldnt help but cry with him and gave him a hug nd told him he can be very proud of New Zealand!
As a All Blacks fan off course i am gutted and heartbroken 💔 But I would like to congratulate all the Springboks fans on the win and well done. I could easily have a cry about the refs/TMO. But I won’t
Mark, you are the best rugby UA-camr out there. I respect you a lot for this review right after your team lost the final by 1 point. Thanks for all that you do, and I hope media outlets start paying you!
@@100ccollieryes he is. It was great to see Mark and Tim do a vid together before the final, they are like a breath of fresh air in a sea of mediocrity.
Mate, when Ireland got knocked out, I was sick to my stomach and couldn't even think about rugby for days after! You are a true professional to do what you do. All credit to both sides, it was a pleasure to see the behemoths of the sport grind it out in the rain. Congrats Bokke, deserved champions!
I've instituted legal proceedings against the Bok team. I've aged 30 years in the past three weeks, my medical insurance has been cancelled and I've relapsed into alcoholism. Goodness gracious me. I'm done with rugby. From here on lawn bowls only. Well done to the All Blacks. Congrats to the Boks. Thanks for the banter and friendships formed over the last four years chaps. And thanks Mark for always keeping us informed and for running a great rugby channel. It is much appreciated. Best wishes from Safferland. See y'all in 2027. 😉
Mate you are a class act - if England had just lost a RWC final by a point I'd barely be capable of speech, nevermind posting a video review in the opposition's jersey! Love your commitment to objective analysis and your enthusiasm for rugby as a sport, regardless of who's playing. Fantastic work all tournament 👏🏻
England redeemed themselves after "thinking" they had hit rock bottom after a pre tournament loss to Fiji. They beat Argentina twice, avenged themselves with Fiji, then nearly defeated the champs.
@@liamhamill6064 eh. todays not the day to bitch. congrats to SA. the bitching should be done to world rugby to prevent shit like that from happenign again. the refs didnt help us, but if we made kicks or were a bit more clinical with the handling we'd have won
Well done Mark on a good review. After a World cup final, wearing a Springboks shirt and giving a fair review on the match. As a Springbok fan, you have my utmost respect.
Lucky to win I ask myself what would the final score had been had the all blacks played with15men in my opinion the all lacks played better than the boks so I wonder as a bok supporter I still don't think we are worthy world champions
Huge respect to the All Blacks. What a great team. How they fought back with urgency and intent in the 2nd half. Utterly massive respect. NZ can be very, very proud.
All credit to the All Blacks, you wouldn’t even notice they were one man down if the red card wasn’t displayed. This will go down as the hardest route to win the World Cup. Congratulations to Springboks on giving us the 3rd heart attack in a row. "Hulle weet nie, wat ons weet nie"🇿🇦🏆 Mark you deserve nothing but gold as well as you were basically in every match 🏆🏅. Rare to find someone who is not biased these days 🫡.
The fact that SA went the hardest route in world cuo history is immense...they were immense..PSTD..gave one of the greatest performances of all time. Deon Fourie was immwnse....but to my AB brothers...do NOT hold your head in shame...you were incrdible!!!...so worthy and more of a rival...invredible game
Not surprised your nerves are shot! 3 weekends on the bounce going down to the wire. We'll done guys. Glad we got to have a crack at you in the semi's too!
I'm so impressed that you know about the KLIPPIES!! You definitely qualify as a honorary Springbok Fan. Huge respect for your team, it wouldn't have been such an epic final without the AB's.
Mark, thank you so much for all your coverage of the RWC. How classy of you to give it a fair review given how disappointed you must be right now. Although I am elated, that the Boks won, I feel somehow gutted for Sam Cane and Ian Foster, who will no doubt will be on the receiving end of some nasty stuff back home. Credit to them for how classy they were in their post game interview. It's great to see you marching towards that 100k milestone, and starting to have your voice heard globally, contributing to Planet Rugby and having a-list rugby celebrities featured on your channel. All of that is well earned. I consider myself blessed to have watched your road to the big leagues from the very beginning. All the best, mate.
@@jamescasey4643 Agreed. Guy’s been treated something awful, but has never been nasty with anyone, never lashed back, etc. Better man than most. I’d have gone all Eddie Jones / Michael Cheika on the media and fans in his stead. If the Boks had lost, I’d at least have felt a little satisfaction on Fozzie’s and Cane’s behalf.
As an All Blacks fan I feel for Cane and Foster too. Cane looked especially down during post match interview, I hope he's doing OK. The problem is there are a lot of insufferable Kiwi fans who expect us to win all the time. Supporting the team means also supporting coach and captain. Congratulations on the win.
First and foremost, to the Kiwis: Well bloody done! South Africans have such respect for you boys, your fans, and your history. That's why the rivalry is so huge, because NZL is the one team we want to test ourselves against. I know it wont make it hurt less, but damn your boys were good. So much respect.
I am physically hurting here in South Africa! My Bokke did again! So much love and respect to the All Blacks and their fans! Especially you Mark, gentleman in victory and defeat! I am so, so happy!
Bok fan here, I also wanted no cards but unfortunately it happened. I really feel for Sam Cane, that’s a huge psychological load to carry and he will be feeling he cost the AB’s the loss, but in the high speed game that can happen without any intent and you could see he was really hurting about it. I hope New Zealand are kind about it, and what a game either side could have won NZ can be proud. Respect!
Absolute class from the ABs, took their medals proudly, unlike the English in 2019. Just such a massive team. So so much respect from us here in SA to NZ and the ABs
Agreed, fair play to the AB’s, classy in defeat unlike some of the churlish English at the 2019 final. The AB’s graciously waited for the Bokke to lift the World Cup before leaving to start their lap to thank their fans, pure class.
As a Scotland fan that comment about us hit hard, but I can't argue with it 😂 Brilliant coverage across the whole World Cup, Mark. Great to see you getting some sponsored content with ex-players too - I'm looking forward to seeing how much your channel will progress by the next World Cup!
@@daggaboom he had a couple of longer videos with Chris Robshaw and Sergio Parisse. They're a bit more podcast-like than his usual previews/reviews but it's great to see some more high profile guys on the channel. Not bad for one man with a whiteboard 😁
Come to SA bro ...we love you, your the man ...sorry for the hurt...The AB is the bomb as far as character and integrity goes . Such a cool world cup ...
Mark, truly brilliant work; and I don’t mean this blithely. Your World Cup coverage was amazing-you know your rugby, you are fair, impartial and very quantitative/stats driven. You’ve been a true breath of fresh air this during this World Cup mate; I genuinely hope you continue with this-I’d be very eager for your opinion on matches going forward and I doubt I’d be alone in this. Absolutely awesome work!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Brilliant Boks!! They just know how to see these games out! But huge respect to New Zealand for how they played with a man down!!👏👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪..Congrats South Africa!! Love Kolisi BTW!!❤️❤️
Great World Cup tournament,great work Mark , as an Irishman I am delighted for South Africa they the hardest route to the final played all the top sides so can’t say they got an easy run to the final they always find a way, they have a fantastic team spirit , both team were out on their feet could have gone anyway at the death but it is not by chance that they win the last 3 games by a single point.
Is it Devine intervention....the undying believe of hope that is humanities birth right ....make no mistake my friend we all know that . Glory to the Highest
What a game. I did not sit down for the entire second half. For a team that the world wrote off, the AB’s really did show them all. Well done NZ! Thank you for an epic final.
The world didn't write them off, not a single south african would've. Many pundits wrote the Boks off as boring, they don't play rugby, NZ are peaking at the right time etc
Hi Mark, that must have been one of the hardest posts for you since you started your channel. However, you kept it together and give your usual objective assessment. Main reason why I subscribe. 😊
Will say this week after week. Its such a pleasure watching your videos. As a South African, thank you for giving credit where credit is due and trying to be impartial. I must say, to me, 50/50's went our way. But thats not the reason the AB's lost. Had a few missed opportunities for posts not taken or missed. Great opponents as always! Loved your videos throughout the world cup (before that also with the URC) and I'll continue watching your videos!
Thanks, Mark! Cool watching (and suffering through) the game with you and your Dad today. As an Argentine, non-native English speaker (although I live in the US), I want to say that it's significantly easier to understand your NZ English than most commentators and players I watch on other channels. Thanks, thanks for speaking at a pace that it's a little bit more suitable to mortals like me. :) Awesome job covering the RWC23!
We can’t live through it! I’ve aged 10 years in the past 3 weeks. Hats off to you for your usual brilliant coverage. It wouldn’t be the same without you. And hats off to the AB’s. As another AB fan said, "May our rivalry and respect never fade".
you're awesome dude. NZ so easily could have won that and part of me really feels we got lucky....again. Well done NZ, you guys we're fantastic and I love your vids man!
Thank you, please don't ever stop doing your videos. You've made my life better through your content. If the ball bounced the other way, the AB's would be equally worthy champions. It's as simple as that and it is heart breaking that one of the two teams had to go down. New Zealand will always be the greatest team in world sport. You guys are a small territory but you are GIANTS.
Thanks for the WC coverage Mark. As a bok fan, I am extremely happy and relieved. Your unbiased analysis of the final is superb, even after the heartbreak you must feel. What a game, not pretty, but all the drama a final could hope to have. Respect to both teams
Hats off to you mark💪 🏉 can't imagine how gutted you are, as an Irishman you lads devastated us with a 4 point margin, took me days to recover emotionally 😭😁 well done to NZ what metal they showed to not only stay in the mix with 1 man down but to nearly pinch it.... amazing stuff....but... congrats to SA couldn't be happier for them and they deserved the win for that defensive effort.....sport can be cruel, imagine how Ireland feels...having beaten SA yet then KOd by NZ + then SA are crowned champs! Amazing tournament all round and probably the greatest in WC history???!
Congrats Bokke, you guys played splendid, kept your defense up and prevailed. AB's thanks for a hard WC final, could have gone either way, just bad we had 4 cards during the game Mark thanks for an amazing WC journey and your neutral observation. Looking forward to 2027!
From a South African: Huge, huge, huge respect for NZ! It is such a great and respected rivalry between two powerhouse rugby nations! We are honored to compete against the AB! Keep your heads up high, you guys can be proud of what you did! Thank you Mr. Two Cents, I really enjoyed the way you spoke about all the games, I really enjoy your channel! keep the good work going!
Massive respect, mate. It was an incredible game between two masters of the game. Big respect to the All Black team. As always, just class. Respect to you for your words even after a loss. Like your team, you are pure class.
Heartbroken. Super proud of the ABs for fighting to the death. I thought it would be a game of inches, and it was. The Boks got the bounce of the ball today. Congrats South Africa!
Huge respect to you for a completely unbiased review. Also huge respect to the All Blacks for a great world cup. Everyone wrote them off after the 35-7 and gave them no chance against Ireland. Both amazed and flummoxed as to how the Boks managed to win 3 games in a row by 1 point, I think I aged 10 years! Thanks from South Africa
I love Rugby but I love tennis as well. Glad to have seen my hero tennisplayer, Roger Federer and his son in the crowd. He is after all half South African. THANKS AND WELCOME ROGER. MUCH APPRECIATED.❤
As a Wallaby fan I feel for the ABs. Basically played the entire match with a man down, 5 points adrift from their kicking attempts, and after such a fight they were within a point at the very end. The AB players will be hurting.
Urr right all blacks deserved the win they played stronger than the boks with14 men what would of happened had cane not been sent off I feel the all blacks would of beaten us by15to18 in my opion a poor bok performance
@TacRat you have no idea, a one point win, after Barnes let SAF kick a penalty he said was a mistake. Its too easy to blame the ref, but yet again Barnes makes it hard not to feel robbed by him.
Two cents I have never seen anyone with a love of rugby like you we know yo love your all blacks but after losing the World Cup you have the strength to show such respect to the Springboks by wearing their jersey. I could never have the class you demonstrate. Irish fan. .
This world cup with so many that could win it, Ireland, France, NZ, south Africa, all the twist and turns, few games in tournament that literally were like finals, this was the best world cup of them all
Great job Mark - your channel is the first one I go to after a game - just want to add something after watching the game again - the two sides were gladiatorial But one team was focused on winning by at least one - Boks - whilst the the AB’s had to do it in style by scoring tries - the difference between banging over a long range kick with huge pressure to get back in front versus simply taking regulation goal kicks when they were on offer the AB’s could have pressurised the Boks to come out of their shell and play more expansively - the red card really sucked and was what both sets of supporters didn’t want - I am glad the Boks won but really want to extend an encouraging word to those younger AB’s who all have an amazing future - Australia 2027 bring it on ( this time the Wallabies will have more of a say in where the cup goes)
PSDT was incredible. The Boks tackled the house down. Talea could step his way untouched through a mosh pit. Canes red was the right call but hate to see cards in a final. SA winning with a dysfunctional lineout and no scrum penalties is unheard of. Well done Bokke, commiserations ABs. 🇿🇦
Great, even handed analysis Mark. Tough day for your ABs, but what a display from them . Congrats to the Boks. They hung in there. It was a match fitting a WC final.
I don't usually comment but I must say I am immensely proud of my country for doing what they did in the last three games. And New Zealand wow, they didn't let any one down. That game could have gone either way but South Africa always find a way..
Irish guy/fan here,my go to channel for most thing's rugby,amazing world cup for you Mark !! Please keep up the amazing videos....views from an unbiased purist rugby fan !!
Thank you Mark. Excellent at what you do. I'm sure that your parents are super proud of such an upstanding son. I felt like both teams won. Respect ABs. Congratulations to our boys💚💛🇿🇦
Gutted for you guys. You were definitely the better team on the night. I feel for Sam Cane. The All Blacks, what a team. We all know that you'll bounce back and probably win 2027 but as a saffa, I'm so happy and so proud of the boys. Go bokke 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦.
Mark, Thanks for the great pre & reviews through this world cup, have thoroughly enjoyed your content 🙌 Apreciate all the work you've done. Time to take a holiday! Cheers bro 🤙
What a game. We are the Champions!!! I had a feeling it would be close. I thought by 3 points. Love your channel Mark. Thanks for amazing coverage of this World Cup. Love the rivalry between our teams. It's going to be each of our turns to cheer or cry for many years after our battles with each other.
What an accurate, honest, non-biased review of the match. Well done, you deserve the credit and are a true example of how to undertake an honest review even though your team lost.
Hi Mark, Thanks SO much for all your hard work in the last 8 weeks! You were amazing!! I am SO disappointed in the final, but after hearing your review it bring things in perspective! Petty RWC, but we'll done the BOKS 2 be the first!! SO proud to be Saffa 2night!!🎉
I love seeing the Klippies in the background my friend :). I have to say - massive, massive respect to the All Blacks. Man, you can't ask for a better display in a losing game, can't ask for a more dignified way for handling defeat and to all the AB supporters, I salute and respect you. Three knockouts by one point each. I don't think my heart can do another world cup like that but if you promise me we'll lift the trophy again at the end of it, I might consider it :) Thanks for your material, it was my Monday highlight every week in this World Cup.
happy for you guys from a kiwi, just gutted that the officials ruined it for me i feel it takes away fromm your glory to which is upsetting. ive got nothing but respect for SA and they defended their hearts out but man, im hurting for the lads, especially sam
Thanks for fantastic, even handed videos. Delighted Boks pulled through in a game that could’ve gone either way. Rugby wouldn’t be what it is without NZ as our nemesis, massive respect to them, and also appreciate how gracious most Kiwi fans are in defeat. This just takes our rivalry to new heights, which makes for more epic rugby to come!
Really loved your analysis throughout this tournament. Im with your mom on the discipline comment- I was saying the same before and during. Obvs your red card was tough to deal with but it was early enough in the game for you to stay in it, and stay in it you did. Big respect to NZL. The difference was taking chances, New Zealand aren’t quite there yet. I have no doubt they will be but tonight is our night and I’m elated!
Fantastic summary, Mark. You're very gracious in defeat. And it's right that you are. I've a South African friend who's not gracious in victory although he sounded very nervous before the game started. I had to tell him it was "50-50", and the Boks would have a good chance of winning. But I sided with your boys, even though you knocked us out in the Quarter final. That really hurt. Still does. Anyway, we can be proud of our boys. You know I've never played rugby. We didn't have a chance to play it where I grew up. Not sure I'd be physically able to cope with the challenge when I was younger. I was light of build. A brilliant game to watch, though. I tend to view international rugby, most of the time, rather than club. Anyway, thanks for being good-hearted enough to do this review so soon after the Final. You've got my utmost respect. All the best. Yes, let's look forward to the next Rugby World Cup. Hooray! Three cheers for the All Blacks!! Hip Hip Hooray!
Thanks for the massive effort you've put in! I've always looked at this channel before any other when it comes to previews and reviews, and love your style of reviewing games. The whiteboard is class!
Act class. Wonderful job reviewing matches. Always wearing deifferent colours as a show of respect to the world of rugby. Greetings from the land of Los Pumas . See you in Championship 💪🇦🇷🇦🇺🇳🇿🇿🇦
Love the Klipdrift on the table😂 Dude, I feel for the ABs playing with 14 with most of the game, they bought the pressure. Was such a fitting final but so stoked that the Boks are now the proven best in the world😊
You're such an example for a rugby fan. You appreciate both sides and are very respectful. We need more people like you.
100% agree with this 👍
well said bro.
What this person said..
Damn!!! The All Blacks never give up. They totally smoked the Bokke in the line-outs. Game could have gone either way....

Congrats south africa from ireland 🇮🇪 hardluck nz
Mark, truly brilliant work; and I don’t mean this blithely. Your World Cup coverage was amazing-you know your rugby, you are fair, impartial and very quantitative/stats driven. You’ve been a true breath of fresh air this during this World Cup mate; I genuinely hope you continue with this-I’d be very eager for your opinion on matches going forward and I doubt I’d be alone in this.
Absolutely awesome work!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Seriously guys, big ups for Mark for all this analysis over the past two months. 🎉 Deserves to be archived 💪
Brilliant Boks!! They just know how to see these games out! But huge respect to New Zealand for how they played with a man down!!👏👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪..Congrats South Africa!! Love Kolisi BTW!!❤️❤️
Great World Cup tournament,great work Mark , as an Irishman I am delighted for South Africa they the hardest route to the final played all the top sides so can’t say they got an easy run to the final they always find a way, they have a fantastic team spirit , both team were out on their feet could have gone anyway at the death but it is not by chance that they win the last 3 games by a single point.
Is it Devine intervention....the undying believe of hope that is humanities birth right ....make no mistake my friend we all know that . Glory to the Highest
@@KarateGucciIndeed, just as PSDT acknowledged at the start of his post match interview. All glory to God Almighty, congratulations Suid Afrika.
Commenting for algorithm. This channel is my go to. Love from SA.
What a game. I did not sit down for the entire second half. For a team that the world wrote off, the AB’s really did show them all. Well done NZ! Thank you for an epic final.
The world didn't write them off, not a single south african would've. Many pundits wrote the Boks off as boring, they don't play rugby, NZ are peaking at the right time etc
As bok supporter I must admit all blacks were unlucky and deserved the win
dont know a single person that wrote them off bud
@@conorredmond6217that's because you don't live in NZ. After we lost to Ireland they wanted heads to roll
Well he said the 'world'@@Rayzajw
Loved the coverage of the Rugby World Cup! 🇮🇪
Gutted for the abs,much love and respect from 🇿🇦
Much love and respect to you as a South African. You're a true gentleman.
Hi Mark, that must have been one of the hardest posts for you since you started your channel. However, you kept it together and give your usual objective assessment. Main reason why I subscribe. 😊
I can't stop thinking of GMAN celebrating in heaven I'm so happy for him Kia Kaha GMAN
massive respect brother, Even in a loss you still come up and make it a positive review. love you.
Brilliant analysis. I'm amazed at how little pundits and other former pros are able to put their feelings aside. Thanks for doing it for them.
Thanks for the game respected old foe. Where was our bomb squad? Nowhere, that’s where. And with 14 men too. See you soon. Love from SA.
Will say this week after week. Its such a pleasure watching your videos. As a South African, thank you for giving credit where credit is due and trying to be impartial. I must say, to me, 50/50's went our way. But thats not the reason the AB's lost. Had a few missed opportunities for posts not taken or missed.
Great opponents as always!
Loved your videos throughout the world cup (before that also with the URC) and I'll continue watching your videos!
Thanks, Mark! Cool watching (and suffering through) the game with you and your Dad today.
As an Argentine, non-native English speaker (although I live in the US), I want to say that it's significantly easier to understand your NZ English than most commentators and players I watch on other channels. Thanks, thanks for speaking at a pace that it's a little bit more suitable to mortals like me. :) Awesome job covering the RWC23!
For a "non-native" English speaker your written English is better than mine bro and I'm a kiwi haha
@@mattweinberg1335 thanks! People generally respect my writing -- they just find my accent funny :)
We can’t live through it! I’ve aged 10 years in the past 3 weeks. Hats off to you for your usual brilliant coverage. It wouldn’t be the same without you. And hats off to the AB’s. As another AB fan said, "May our rivalry and respect never fade".
New Zealand with 14 guys and they scored the only try. Phenomenal
Trophy right there but.....Boks pull through. A great team wins tight matches the rest ....sorry
@@cedriclakey8210ok kafa cheater
First class coverage Mark, your a class act. Commiserations to you, gazza and all AB fans. I'm done, exhausted!
you're awesome dude. NZ so easily could have won that and part of me really feels we got lucky....again. Well done NZ, you guys we're fantastic and I love your vids man!
Thank you, please don't ever stop doing your videos. You've made my life better through your content.
If the ball bounced the other way, the AB's would be equally worthy champions. It's as simple as that and it is heart breaking that one of the two teams had to go down.
New Zealand will always be the greatest team in world sport. You guys are a small territory but you are GIANTS.
As a Bok fan. I my heart goes out to the Barrett Brothers. Such bloody legends!
Keep your head up. Our rivalry won today.❤
Thanks for the WC coverage Mark. As a bok fan, I am extremely happy and relieved. Your unbiased analysis of the final is superb, even after the heartbreak you must feel. What a game, not pretty, but all the drama a final could hope to have. Respect to both teams
Hats off to you mark💪 🏉 can't imagine how gutted you are, as an Irishman you lads devastated us with a 4 point margin, took me days to recover emotionally 😭😁 well done to NZ what metal they showed to not only stay in the mix with 1 man down but to nearly pinch it.... amazing stuff....but... congrats to SA couldn't be happier for them and they deserved the win for that defensive effort.....sport can be cruel, imagine how Ireland feels...having beaten SA yet then KOd by NZ + then SA are crowned champs! Amazing tournament all round and probably the greatest in WC history???!
Congrats Bokke, you guys played splendid, kept your defense up and prevailed.
AB's thanks for a hard WC final, could have gone either way, just bad we had 4 cards during the game
Mark thanks for an amazing WC journey and your neutral observation. Looking forward to 2027!
From a South African: Huge, huge, huge respect for NZ! It is such a great and respected rivalry between two powerhouse rugby nations! We are honored to compete against the AB! Keep your heads up high, you guys can be proud of what you did! Thank you Mr. Two Cents, I really enjoyed the way you spoke about all the games, I really enjoy your channel! keep the good work going!
Well done Bokke......it was meant to be....1 point wins....the true winner today.....Rugby
Massive respect, mate. It was an incredible game between two masters of the game. Big respect to the All Black team. As always, just class. Respect to you for your words even after a loss. Like your team, you are pure class.
Heartbroken. Super proud of the ABs for fighting to the death. I thought it would be a game of inches, and it was. The Boks got the bounce of the ball today. Congrats South Africa!
Excellent from an Irish supporter
Thanks for all the vids throughout the world cup, for all matches, well done Mark, you tube player of the tournament
Thanks for your amazing sportsmanship. Your ABS were amazing. You can be very proud of your boys.
Huge respect to you for a completely unbiased review. Also huge respect to the All Blacks for a great world cup. Everyone wrote them off after the 35-7 and gave them no chance against Ireland. Both amazed and flummoxed as to how the Boks managed to win 3 games in a row by 1 point, I think I aged 10 years! Thanks from South Africa
Unbiased? The officiating would deserve criticism if he was being unbiased.
I love Rugby but I love tennis as well.
Glad to have seen my hero tennisplayer, Roger Federer and his son in the crowd. He is after all half South African. THANKS AND WELCOME ROGER. MUCH APPRECIATED.❤
As a Wallaby fan I feel for the ABs. Basically played the entire match with a man down, 5 points adrift from their kicking attempts, and after such a fight they were within a point at the very end. The AB players will be hurting.
What's a wallaby?
@@Stopcolonizinglebanonsilly comment
@@Stopcolonizinglebanon what’s 4 more years?
Urr right all blacks deserved the win they played stronger than the boks with14 men what would of happened had cane not been sent off I feel the all blacks would of beaten us by15to18 in my opion a poor bok performance
@TacRat you have no idea, a one point win, after Barnes let SAF kick a penalty he said was a mistake. Its too easy to blame the ref, but yet again Barnes makes it hard not to feel robbed by him.
Two cents I have never seen anyone with a love of rugby like you we know yo love your all blacks but after losing the World Cup you have the strength to show such respect to the Springboks by wearing their jersey. I could never have the class you demonstrate. Irish fan. .
This world cup with so many that could win it, Ireland, France, NZ, south Africa, all the twist and turns, few games in tournament that literally were like finals, this was the best world cup of them all
Agree 100 % times 2 the amount 0f quality games and tight games will be hard to match. Jeez what a WC😅
@@KarateGuccieven the 3rd place game was tight. 26 - 23. 😅
You forgot England.
I’m sorry but I have to disagree the best rwc of all time was the previous woman’s World Cup.
@@jonesyjones7626 yes also England 👍
You single handedly restored my faith in NZ rugby fans after checking Twitter this morning. Thanks for the great content this WC.
Phenomenal resilience by the Boks to hang on to the lead for nearly 60 minutes. Well deserved Champs.
ABs hold your heads up, you did us proud! 🇿🇦🇳🇿
Such fight from the ABs. Did NZ proud. See you next time. ❤️ from 🇿🇦
@@MobBarley00For sure. Right back at you 🤙
Well deserved or just lucky?
I feel sad for them they deserved the win outplayed the boks in every section of the game with 14 men
@@TheflyingkiwiRC Shoulda, woulda or coulda? It's a moot point now.
Let's just support our lads and congratulate the victors. Onwards.
Great job Mark - your channel is the first one I go to after a game - just want to add something after watching the game again - the two sides were gladiatorial But one team was focused on winning by at least one - Boks - whilst the the AB’s had to do it in style by scoring tries - the difference between banging over a long range kick with huge pressure to get back in front versus simply taking regulation goal kicks when they were on offer the AB’s could have pressurised the Boks to come out of their shell and play more expansively - the red card really sucked and was what both sets of supporters didn’t want - I am glad the Boks won but really want to extend an encouraging word to those younger AB’s who all have an amazing future - Australia 2027 bring it on ( this time the Wallabies will have more of a say in where the cup goes)
PSDT was incredible. The Boks tackled the house down. Talea could step his way untouched through a mosh pit. Canes red was the right call but hate to see cards in a final.
SA winning with a dysfunctional lineout and no scrum penalties is unheard of. Well done Bokke, commiserations ABs. 🇿🇦
Couldn't say it any better!
Best rugby commentary channel by far.... thanks Mark for always bringing it and showing your love for the game... 👍
Fantastic commentary and analysis throughout the world cup ! Well done and thank you so much ! 🎉
Thanks for your coverage Mark of whole RWC, excellent job!! 👍👍
Maximum respect to the AB'S. You guys were phenomenal. Sorry for Kane. I'm a proud and relieved South African. Go BOKKE.
Great, even handed analysis Mark. Tough day for your ABs, but what a display from them . Congrats to the Boks. They hung in there. It was a match fitting a WC final.
Gutted for you boys. Well done Bokks
Hard luck Pal . Great honest review as always 👏 👍 👌
I don't usually comment but I must say I am immensely proud of my country for doing what they did in the last three games. And New Zealand wow, they didn't let any one down. That game could have gone either way but South Africa always find a way..
Irish guy/fan here,my go to channel for most thing's rugby,amazing world cup for you Mark !! Please keep up the amazing videos....views from an unbiased purist rugby fan !!
Thank you Mark. Excellent at what you do. I'm sure that your parents are super proud of such an upstanding son. I felt like both teams won. Respect ABs. Congratulations to our boys💚💛🇿🇦
Said if before and will say it again....the best and most balanced reviewer/commentor on rugby. Good on you Mark. Much respect
Gutted for you guys. You were definitely the better team on the night. I feel for Sam Cane. The All Blacks, what a team. We all know that you'll bounce back and probably win 2027 but as a saffa, I'm so happy and so proud of the boys. Go bokke 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦.
Great listening to you. You are far more objective than your fellow countrymen!
Mark, Thanks for the great pre & reviews through this world cup, have thoroughly enjoyed your content 🙌 Apreciate all the work you've done. Time to take a holiday! Cheers bro 🤙
Hands down best rugby channel throughout the Rugby World Cup! Mark your a legend, even in defeat 🙌
Look forward to many more reviews!
What a game. We are the Champions!!! I had a feeling it would be close. I thought by 3 points. Love your channel Mark. Thanks for amazing coverage of this World Cup. Love the rivalry between our teams. It's going to be each of our turns to cheer or cry for many years after our battles with each other.
What an accurate, honest, non-biased review of the match. Well done, you deserve the credit and are a true example of how to undertake an honest review even though your team lost.
Condolences and great commentary as always, New Zealand played amazingly well and can be proud of giving us another epic final!
I don’t know what to say here… Thank you for always having the best takes on rugby matches. Im spent.
As a Saffa if we don't win I would love NZ to win. These 1 point games... man oh man... my heart can't take it!
Inderdaad. Either way I would be emotional. We literally beat the best team in the world.
@@fredrikrugbyWe are the best team in the world. They were a solid 2nd.
Mark, love the channel, and respect and knowledge. Brilliant game, game was so close, amazing. 😂Irish fan here dude. Keep up the goid work 😊
So so so much respect for you, your commitment and absolute respect for every team! Thank you for another awesome world cup coverage👏👏👏
Magnificent. The only sour note was Ramaphosa trying to STEAL the limelight
Hi Mark, Thanks SO much for all your hard work in the last 8 weeks! You were amazing!! I am SO disappointed in the final, but after hearing your review it bring things in perspective! Petty RWC, but we'll done the BOKS 2 be the first!! SO proud to be Saffa 2night!!🎉
I love seeing the Klippies in the background my friend :). I have to say - massive, massive respect to the All Blacks. Man, you can't ask for a better display in a losing game, can't ask for a more dignified way for handling defeat and to all the AB supporters, I salute and respect you.
Three knockouts by one point each. I don't think my heart can do another world cup like that but if you promise me we'll lift the trophy again at the end of it, I might consider it :)
Thanks for your material, it was my Monday highlight every week in this World Cup.
Mark, we needed that more than you could imagine 🇿🇦
happy for you guys from a kiwi, just gutted that the officials ruined it for me i feel it takes away fromm your glory to which is upsetting. ive got nothing but respect for SA and they defended their hearts out but man, im hurting for the lads, especially sam
@@liamhamill6064Mounga and Jordie missed for the win.
It is not reffs fault
Is that klippies in the background? Legend.
Respect to a worthy adversary! One team would be in mourning, it wa the team that played in black! A worthy adversary indeed!
Thanks for fantastic, even handed videos. Delighted Boks pulled through in a game that could’ve gone either way. Rugby wouldn’t be what it is without NZ as our nemesis, massive respect to them, and also appreciate how gracious most Kiwi fans are in defeat. This just takes our rivalry to new heights, which makes for more epic rugby to come!
Really loved your analysis throughout this tournament. Im with your mom on the discipline comment- I was saying the same before and during. Obvs your red card was tough to deal with but it was early enough in the game for you to stay in it, and stay in it you did. Big respect to NZL. The difference was taking chances, New Zealand aren’t quite there yet. I have no doubt they will be but tonight is our night and I’m elated!
Fantastic summary, Mark. You're very gracious in defeat. And it's right that you are. I've a South African friend who's not gracious in victory although he sounded very nervous before the game started. I had to tell him it was "50-50", and the Boks would have a good chance of winning. But I sided with your boys, even though you knocked us out in the Quarter final. That really hurt. Still does.
Anyway, we can be proud of our boys. You know I've never played rugby. We didn't have a chance to play it where I grew up. Not sure I'd be physically able to cope with the challenge when I was younger. I was light of build. A brilliant game to watch, though. I tend to view international rugby, most of the time, rather than club.
Anyway, thanks for being good-hearted enough to do this review so soon after the Final. You've got my utmost respect. All the best.
Yes, let's look forward to the next Rugby World Cup. Hooray!
Three cheers for the All Blacks!! Hip Hip Hooray!
Thanks for the massive effort you've put in! I've always looked at this channel before any other when it comes to previews and reviews, and love your style of reviewing games. The whiteboard is class!
Act class. Wonderful job reviewing matches. Always wearing deifferent colours as a show of respect to the world of rugby. Greetings from the land of Los Pumas . See you in Championship 💪🇦🇷🇦🇺🇳🇿🇿🇦
Love the Klipdrift on the table😂 Dude, I feel for the ABs playing with 14 with most of the game, they bought the pressure. Was such a fitting final but so stoked that the Boks are now the proven best in the world😊
All respect to you. You are hurt but still giving us your best analysis and very respectful for game. You legend
