In Today's video we have a U.S. Soldier reaction to the 2019 rugby world cup final which was played in Japan by he England Red and Whites against the South Africa Springboks. What an amazing game between two high level rugby teams on the world's biggest stage. As I continue to learn more and more about rugby the better I am getting at recognizing what's actually going on during the 80 game. Thank you to everybody who continues to help me every single day become a bigger fan by helping me understand the little things about the sport that I still miss. Thanks For Watching
Includes in these highlights are teams from South Africa, England, Japan, China, New Zealand , Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Wales, France, Argentina, Fiji, Georgia, Tonga, Italy, Samoa, United States, U.S., Uruguay, Spain, Romania, Russia.

I watched the entire thing live but every time I watch it again my heart beats so fast. It meant a lot to us South Africans.
idk how im just now seeing this comment but shout out to you! watching this match always makes my heart beat! Go Springboks!
Kolisi was also the first person of color to ever captain the South African team, let alone to lift a Rugby World Cup trophy for South Africa. 💚💚💚
Dylan Nefdt wow really! What a beast
*Nope - you got your facts wrong !!!!*
He was *NOT* the 1st SA person of colour to lift the RWC trophy!
What about Chester Williams - 1995; Bryan Habana - 2007; JP Pietersen - 2007.
@@joatmofa0405 read my comment again. I said first POC to CAPTAIN South Africa. The captain lifts the trophy in the ceremony, everything after that is for pictures. Instead of telling me to get my facts straight, take your own advice. And possibly learn how to read. 👍
@@dylannefdt1310 While it is traditional for a *CAPTAIN* to lift a trophy *FIRST* after a successful win, it is generally accepted that *AFTER* this "ceremonious captain's lifting of the trophy" every team member thereafter is deemed to have "lifted" the trophy as well (including management, coaching and auxiliary staff etc - THEY ALL ALSO *LIFTED* the trophy)!!!
By your reasoning then it means that Chester Williams (1995); JP Pietersen and Bryan Habana (2007) *NEVER* lifted the trophy?
As Kolisi *ONLY* did it in 2019 it is only fair that I point out your errata by stipulating other "POC's" before him in 1995 and 2007!
@@joatmofa0405 please realize that in the context of my comment, I was saying that he was the person of color who lifted the trophy as the CAPTAIN of South Africa, not just a teammate.
Fun facts " South Africa has never lost in the rugby world cup final, they have also never conceded a try in the rugby world cup final .South Africa are the only country to loose in the pool games and went on to win the World Cup. This world cup South Africa scored their first try in the finals.
Eddie people always talk about the first team to lose a pool game and win the final they also the first team to win the southern hemisphere championship and the WC in the same year
Also South Africa have the highest tournament winning percentage in World Cups.
Also the first country to win the Rugby Championship and World Cup in the same year. Also first to 3 world cups since readmission. NZ have only 2 since SA readmission even though 3 overall.
@@Blindside_Flanker Also the only country Jonah Lomu never scored a try against.
Also South Africa is the only team to beat New Zealand in a World cup final.
The best thing about this Final is that England was boasting that they would wipe the floor with us including their media due to that in the Semi-final England beat New Zealand badly and we lost to New Zealand in our first game. So they and their fans became extremely arrogant and overconfidant. But in the final they got destroyed.
Jonathan Borley haha ohh it kinda makes sense now because they were flat in the first so I bet they were definitely over-looking you guys then they came out and got smacked around! That was a great game!
From the perspective of an english fan we did not take the boks lightly, ignore what the press said. We produced the performance of the tournament a few days previously when we trashed the all black favourites. Come the final the bokka had the measure of us, we were undercooked and the better team won. There's no need for bad attitude towards your opponents when you win, goes against true spirit of the game.
@@lisastygall9062 With all due respect. All the English fans I talked to said we were going to get spanked. We played one match more than you as well, and we played all the teams that ended top of their groups.
I would say the team were actually under confident, they came into the cup looking to cause an upset and they had it they had not motivations in winning the cup by the end because they had already achieved
As an avid watcher of the Barclays Premier league I can confirm that the English fans are not the ones to point fingers at. Its their media that makes them look like twats. The average English fan has quite realistic opinions of their national team.
I love my country South Africa 🇿🇦 Cheslin Kolbe tackled that big guy
Krescens Swanepoel Cheslin crushed him! That was awesome!
And the step against owen farrell😎🤘
England was so salty 🤣. Most of them didn't even put on the silver medal.
Ouch lol legend has it they still haven’t touched those metals
That's the difference on who loves the game more. All Blacks Bronze medal Match they won and still wore with pride. Just that England reaction makes me feel England will never deserve to hold Bill.
Fun fact:
That guy you see cheering in the crowd wearing a black coat (at 17:38) is Francois Pienaar - the captain of the Springboks for the legendary 1995 world cup final, where South Africa first won and completely united a nation that had just come out of a massive transition. I was 10 years old and can tell you exactly where I was when I saw him lift that trophy.
ahhh thats soo lit thanks for droppin that jewel i would have never known that! shout out to you and Francois Pienaar!
I don't think there is a South African alive who doesn't know exactly where he or she was at that moment. The Clint Eastwood directed movie Invictus documents that historical World Cup, also how late President Mandela used it as a way to unite a very divided South Africa. I was 18 years old. What a day that was!
Also, at ua-cam.com/video/_2mxVpQYLI0/v-deo.html, John Smit. He was the 2007 World Cup winning captain for South Africa.
I love my country South Africa 🌍❤️ Springbok you made us proud 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We are the most successful nation at Rugby World Cups. The thing is, we played 2 less than anyone else.
Nevern Presence lit, I didn’t know that
Played less than any other tier one nation. There are many countries that haven’t played in any World Cups.
RepublicanGuard umm played in seven right? 95,99,03,07,11,15,19
@RepublicanGuard
1995 - 1st
1999 - 3rd
2003 - QF's
2007 - 1st
2011 - QF's
2015 - 3rd
2019 - 1st
Yeah how about that
What makes this victory, even more, sweeter is the following; 1. Biggest score margin in an RWC final EVER. 2. First team ever to lose a pool game and go through to an RWC Final and win it. 3. Score the most tries in a RWC. 4. Third RWC Title. 5. Most tires in an RWC Final - 2 tries. Will be very hard to equal this record.Thanks for the video mate and I liked your reactions hehehe
We South Africans Love this Final I swear💞😂
Ya’ll dominated this game and it was amazing to watch!
True Spirit of South Africans, They never give up. One hell of a good game. #ProudlySouthAfrican #GoBokke. Champions for the next 4 years.
Jocosta Permall True warrior spirit as well! Big shout out to South Africa you guys dominated that one! I can’t wait to watch more of your squad.
@@KurtyFloLive gotta watch Max Hurrell's tune he composed due to our health minister blocking the sales of cigarettes during lockdown. Made us all laugh during a time we struggle to. I like this video although it's not the Max Hurrell original. BBC actually interviewed him and the minister tweeted him. Gives you and idea of how Saffas humour permeates even in tough times.
PS. "Zol" is a slang word we use for cannabis... Which is what the song is called. When people Zol....😂
ua-cam.com/video/txtJJIUyOeU/v-deo.html
when englan builds an entire gameplan arounf faf de klerk's (#9) incessent box-kicking in every game up until the final and then in the final he doesn't box-kick😂😂😂
More like Eddie Jones thought he had SA's gameplay figured out. If he paid attention to simple things like statistics at all, he would've seen they (Rassie) radically changed the way his team (and his game makers like Faf) played in 2019. They did not kick that much in 2018. So he should've known Rassie was cooking up something. It seems to me that Eddie dismissed Rassie's tactical abilities early on. Rassie being more than a decade his junior and with much less international coaching experience. He also was lulled by the fact that Jake White, for whom he helped coach the 2007 team, had a very similar gameplan. So that he then "understood" SA type of play. In stead of the running rugby played in the final. Rassie is still the more reserved of the two. Giving less interviews and not mouthing off as to how he is going to beat England in future matches as Eddie Jones does in the English media. That makes Rassie much more dangerous imo.
Loved the reaction. A bit of a back story, South-Africa has been facing many challenges as a nation ranging from femicide, murder, xenophobia and cultural and racial devide between black and white. The Springboks overcame the odds and came together as a nation to give us some hope. Siya Kolisi became the first black man in our country's history to captain our national rugby team. A boy from the townships of South- Africa who didn't grow up having food to eat or shoes to walk in and who watched South Africa win the 2007 world cup as a kid in a bar because he didn't have a tv. Our team is made up of men from different backgrounds and cultures so our country needed this win and boy oh boy was it a great time to be alive. Just two years prior no one gave us a chance in the world cup but we showed up. Check out siya's story you Wil have tears in your eyes the whole time. Love from South-Africa 😁
Chantell Brown wow that’s remarkable! I love when sports transcends politics, cultural and racial lines and brings everyone together it’s my favorite part. I had no idea what it took for SA to get the the championship or what they had been thru so thanks you taught me a lot. I must check out Siya’s story I can’t wait.
@@KurtyFloLive Also could be worth your while to watch the movie Invictus. The story of the 1995 Rugby World Cup starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.
Martin Coetzee I keep hearing of this movie I gotta find a link to it so I can download it and really watch it but thanks I will definitely check that out once I find it
@@KurtyFloLive Never occurred to me that it might be hard to get hold of. I did a search and justwatch told me it can be rented on amazon video, youtube, google play and apple tv and a few others. They all seem to be about $4.
I would be interested to know what someone else thinks of the movie. As a South African it immortalises a very special time in our history where our social issues disappeared for a little while to be replaced with deep joy and love for our fellow South Africans.
I cried like a baby when we won this one😭
Me too and I forgot I was cooking and almost burnt the house down
I was fortunate to watch it live on TV. England played a very good game, but the Springbuks were just a bit more coherent as a team. And de Klerks and Colbys athleticism - awesome.
That’s amazing you got to watch this epic match live I wish I could have seen it unfold in real time but you’re right they were just a bit more ready for the final than England I can’t wait to watch these two squads run it back!
What I love about Kolbe is that when he gets the ball as South Africa as a whole. We dare to dream❤️😂
Haha when he get the ball anything can happen he is elite!
Kolbe : left, right gone
My country South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Lyle Jacobs South Africa destroyed them I was amazed the whole time watchin how good they truly are
Awê! I know with a name like that you one of my people haha
L B haha you know it!
they kept calling us underdogs..
but we had 2 RWC in our belts before this win...and they have 1...
Sabatha Mzileni but down was the reason for fav's/underdogs
South Africa has never lost a final. 🇿🇦❤️
Precious really? That’s awesome I can’t wait to watch more South African games
"what happened England?" England played their final against the AB's
Lol right! I watched that one too but it got taken down for copyright for some reason, I workin in getting it back up tho.
A prof. at the Imperial College in London once told me about a story about a book written by an Italian WWII veteran. He wrote that after the allies suffered serious losses to the Italians in the mountains over a 2 week period trying to dislodge the Italians out of the mountains the allied field marshall called in a battalion of South African infantry.
The Italians was routed in less than 2 days. The bloke wrote that these buggers just never gave up. They got shot and bayonetted and they still kept coming just to land a punch to your face.
He wrote that they could handle everyone especially because they were on higher ground but the South Africans just broke them with their sheer physicality and never give up attitude. Also their willingness to attack in the dark. He said it really broke them knowing that sleep in a tent was a death trap because these folk just would not give up till the job was done.
This world cup final kind of summarized that story for me.
Thanks for posting this reaction video mate!
That’s a brilliant tale I could see how the two are congruent as well! The one who wants it more is going to get it no matter what, especially in combat. Rugby is no exception to this rule either. Thanks for the support as well I’m glad to be reacting to this great sport being played at such a high level.
KurtyFlo Live! Thank U! for sharing.
People like U will get Rugby flowing in the US!
It was said in those days! And still true to this day..
The sleeping giant only has to flex a muscle and the world will change!
Between U and the “ignorant American” might be the catalyst!
Rugby forever!!!
Brings me to tears...proud South African. ❤🇿🇦
Gets me everytime 💯
Really appreciate watching someone react to the game I love. I hope your enjoyment of rugby keeps growing. What also is interesting is when you learn about all the rivalries in the sport. For instance the All Blacks are the top team over the last 20 years but in the 20th century there were long periods where the Springboks dominated everyone including the All Blacks. We used to play test series against other countries where you would go on tour there for months usually to play three to five test matches with lots of other practice matches against clubs and provinces in between.
But now we play in tournaments. A lot of people want to go back to the old test series format. In SA vs NZ the first recorded game was in 1921 and the Springboks won their first series in New Zealand in 1937 while the All Blacks were only able to win their first and only test series in South Africa in 1996.
Traditionally the Southern Hemisphere teams have been the most successful with Australia, South African and New Zealand winning all World Cups bar one (2003).
let's not downplay our victory by saying england was tired because they played new zealand in the semis. we were amazing throughout the WHOLE tournament regardless of our loss against new zealand in the group stages. south africa, in every game, played hard and fought hard and never backed down. we did the same in this game. we deserved this win! thx 😁
Abulele Dlova all credit to South Africa for getting the job done! The better team won, I didn’t know they lost to the all blacks in the group stages so I’m sure a New Zealand v South Africa final would have been even more lit!
An interesting fact for you. Did you know that the USA are still the reigning 1924 Olympic Gold Medal Champions in rugby union. They beat France in the finals to take gold in Paris. I never get tired of watching South Africa winning the Rugby World Cup. I live in England now and plenty of my English friends were magnanimous when England lost. My Wife was slightly upset, being English. On another day, had England played any other team I’d be cheering them on.
Thanks for watching the extended highlights, and not the short one!
Julius Denley thanks I appreciate that! The short highlight was like 5 minutes and I knew I wasn’t gonna get the full extent of the match, so I’m glad I watched this one too.
Honestly South Africa's defense in the final was of the scale fantastic...I still get the chills
same! this match and everything it stood for gives me the chills its one of many matches i go back and watch because it was just such a moment!
Thanks for the reaction! My country South Africa I love you!!!
Kurt Dixon thanks! Shout out to you and All South Africa! Love you right back!
South Africa 3 time world cup campaigns and its the second time South Africa win England in the final 2007 and now in 2019.South Africa World Cup Wins 1995, 2007 and 2019
Love from South Africa, world champions
Matthew Arnott thanks! You guys dominate, can’t wait to watch it live!
Hi from South Africa. Rugby is my favourite sport thanks for taking me back to happy days 👍 the small guy the number 14 is Cheslin Colby🔥 this guy is mind blowing you sold do reaction to hem All of the best from SA🇿🇦😊
Watch the full game. Then watch closely from 30min to 32min. There you will see what it is to play rugby for the Springboks. Pure guts, passion and determination
I love your reactions because you really appreciate the game!
Chiara Gianangeli thanks I appreciate that very much! Glad you’re enjoying them as well!
That was fun listening to this cute US soldier trying to understand rugby... and he didn't do a bad job either.
Linda Joubert hey thanks I’m trying here lol
The springboks have been the rugby world champions for the third time and as South African we love you US reactors🇿🇦🇿🇦💯
There's a documentary called 'Chasing Thr Sun' about the Springboks and their journey to the World Cup'19. Have a watch and it will tell you a lot why this particular win was so massive for the country of South Africa! Would love to see your reaction
Americans need to support their Eagles, they are very passionate players. SA would love to have a serious match with Canada and America one day. -- also, you kept asking what happened England - they used all their energy against the All Blacks in the semis, and then hit the wall soooo hard in the finals.
Joseph van Wyk yeah it looked like they just didn’t have it that day which sucks, and yes I would love to see America compete with the rest of the world in rugby. I definitely think we would hold our own.
The Eagles were in the world cup last year. America actually have some good players from what I saw. They just need more support and experience.
Proud South African and springbok supporter.
Irna Oosthuizen really? Yeah rugby gets no push here in the states at all! Idk if it’s because it’s during the football season here or what but literally no one I know here plays but that’s all about to change lol I’m bringing rugby to America!
@@KurtyFloLive Most def. Rugby = Trench warfare. Where countries can battle out their indifference on the field. This particular final is very special to us South Africans (not only because we won them back in 2007 a well), but because of our bloody history with the British (Boer-war) when SA and England clash.
England was dominated by the Springboks, really not trying to say you're wrong, but the South African defense throughout the tournament was great, I think best in the world cup stats wise. Just bombarded them with a rush defense, one that was taken from 2007 and just "rassied". But fair point, play the Blacks (all blacks) today hurts indefinitely 😂.
C’mmon America, play Rugby, a man’s game. You are a big country. We want to see your muscle in Rugby. We want to watch America v China in Rugby.😂😂🕺🏻🕺🏻🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💃🏻💃🏻SA Rugby.
USA has rugby in 15s and 7s they always part take in the 7s both men and women
Kaylinn Davids : Thank you Kaylinn. I like your sport spirit. I interested to see America and South Africa in a friendly match. But I think I have already seen the 7s. We have our challenges sometimes. I believe Newzealand is still the best team. 👍👍👍
@@maritimestudies6264 I grew up watching rugby so its part of me 😊 and a 15s friendly between the Springboks and the Eagles would be lit 😁 I am down for that and yes I may be a Springbok supporter but i have to agree that NZ are the best
Kaylinn Davids: Lets keep supporting the boys, it’s a nice game. I think closer to Rugby is your football kind .
@@maritimestudies6264 yes it is... I just dont understand American football lol but yes i think its similar
Side note...Massive respect for most medics at Rugby games. If the game is still on the go even though someone is injured, they will get to the player, and they will even shield the player from play using their own bodies at times. the game is usually stopped at this point by the ref, but it does happen that a medic can have a player tackled right on top of them.
If you want to understand tactically why England looked flat check out Squidge rugby. He does an excellent breakdown of the game. But in a nutshell what it came down to is that SA managed their pack (the big guys) better through the tournament and in the final England were done, and SA still had a lot more left in the tank.
Henco Harmse ohhh I could see that now that you say that! The big guys for England were gas’d out early I definitely see it now thanks for the knowledge!
Watch squidge report yes... You will learn a lot of how they took england apart...
Man, I was scrolling to see if anyone mentioned squidge. Beat me to it
Besides Squidge, who is a genius, NGJ rugby also has some great perspectives on the game. I'm a big rugby fan but I also watch as much NFL as I can, so if you ever want to know anything specific just ask. I could answer it with relation to Football.
It has to also be noted that south african sides are traditionally the most physicall in world rugby... England trying to take them on in this aspect of the game was a tactical error their coach made... He thought ge would boss them like he did the nz side in the semi....forgetting that england was dominated physically in the last 4 games they played south africa... They were so impressived with what they did in the semi they seem to think they could achieve the same in the final... Which was why most safa fans were quietly confident... They new if it came to brute strength the boks were more than England's match.
Idk if someone has already commented this but imma do it anyway lmao. Cheslin Kolbe's cousin is Wayde van Niekerk, the holder of the 400m world record. I think its fair to say the speed/gas runs in family
I’m a die hard South African fan ... you are missing out ... once you get into it .. it becomes a drug ... ha ha loved you watching it .. close your eyes and imagine you being in that rug !!!! It’s like being at war ...you don’t stop until your target is defeated... pep in your step 😂😂😂 good one ... much appreciated... !
Antoinette Fernandes Ha thanks I’m slowly becoming a rugby addict that’s for sure! I can only imagine really being out there but soon! Once I find a team is on!
Hey man, a documentary about SA’s road to the world cup victory has been released called “Chasing the sun”. Try and find some snippets of it on youtube. Or even better, try and access it somehow. Five episodes. It explains exactly what a massive moment this win was for our country. 🇿🇦🏆🏉
Great reaction my dude and awesome to see how you responding to most of the comments here. I'm a South African by the way and was an out of the world experience watching my country lift that trophy again for the third time. It's awesome to see Americans reacting to a game like rugby. You guys should seriously back the Eagles a lot more and give the sport better acknowledgment as you guys could easily become one of the best countries in the world. By the way, I am also a huge NFL fan and love watching the games. I'm a patriots fan, might get hate for that I don't know. Curious to know what NFL team you support?
Ryan Adams Ryan Adams hey thanks for the support! Shoutout to you and all of South Africa! You’re country is amazing and your rugby squad is litty. Idk why we don’t back the Eagles but I’m here now and I’m gonna bring rugby to America and get it the support it deserves! I’m a huge fan of the sport now and I know if more Americans knew the sport or if it was taught in school as part of the P.E. Curriculum then the push here in the States would be a movement like it is in The rest of the world. Haha and There’s nothing wrong with being a patriots fan, Tom Brady is a goat for sure but as far as I go, I’m a Denver Broncos Die-hard. Born and raised in CO and watched us with 3 rings in my lifetime so I’m loyal to my soil!
Love your reaction to rugby... Rugby is to the world like nlf is to the usa... We patiently waiting for the usa rugby team and public to grow up and be real contenders... They have so much potential that they not living up to....
Soo much potential, americans are very athletic and big, they just need the right coaches, and kids that grow up with rugby, instead of their seasonal sports bullcrap
England losing Sinckler early wasn't even part of the highlights. So that means whomever edited these highlights knew losing him didn't make no difference in the final result. :-)
Dylan Daniels haha it was over with or without him. That’s tough!
I suppose with the gap in the scoreline at the end that is fairly valid but if Sinkler had stayed on the field would their scrum have been so fragile? I don't think so. That would have given them a lot more gas in the game. It's really hard to say but I think the English would have done better if he had not been knocked out like that.
Martin Coetzee yeah I know what you mean, one player getting hurt can change the entire complexion of the game, I wouldn’t mind seeing a rematch that’s for sure!
Hey man, I am not sure how you aren't getting more views here.
I am from South Africa, and you get this way more than most Americans who react.
Its also super refreshing and nice to have your light humour and goot attitude my G.
One thing you said truly stood out though "It is down to whoever wants it more"
And in S.A. the world cup was more than a trophy. It was us binding together, it temporarily removes racism and pushes brothership in our torn nation.
So we truly wanted that win more than any other team in the world.
Thank you for this man.
Joel Huckle hey thanks bro I appreciate it! My favorite part about sports is that It will always transcend the lines of what’s going on negatively in the world and it brings light where there wouldn’t be otherwise. I could just tell that to South Africa this was more than a game and I’m super impressed by the whole squad. I can’t wait to watch more of them. Much respect from the States bro!
Top stuff! Remember to wear your crown next time 💪🏻
Congratulations,you are the first American that I have found on youtube to watch an entire game--even the highlights ! normally it's just the "hits" Well done.
John Mcdonagh thanks! I like the whole game highlights and I even prefer to watch the whole game I just can’t go live until 1k subs to do that but I will be able to soon. Thanks for watching
you should check : Faf de klerck the giant slayer. He's the south african number 9
Simple Saffa oh yeah 9 is a beast I’ll for sure check out his highlights thanks!
@@KurtyFloLive If you enjoyed his performance, an earler performance against England was a masterclass: ua-cam.com/video/XanqCKOr2VU/v-deo.html
I saw a video of The Ignorant American, who started calling Faf "Little Thor"😂
Faf our little big man the giantslayer
all respect out of South Africa thanks for the great video.
You should definitely do a video of Africa vs British and Irish Lions tour.
Beanden Hattingh thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying them as well! I can definitely check that out, if you find a link send it on over.
The world cup is every four years like most sports
Ronnie Ward lit! I’m tryin to go in 2023 if the quarantine is lifted by then lol
The redemption for England the commentators were talking about at the start was referring to the prior world cup hosted by England in 2015 where they became the first (and so far only) host nation to fail to progress to the knockout stages.
Ahh okay thanks that’s tough
@@KurtyFloLive if you want to react to a full match, and I fully understand if you don't want to make an hour and a half long video, I recommend England vs Wales from the 2015 RWC, as a neutral it is one of the greatest games of all time imo. The rivalry between the two nations is probably the greatest in the sport, and the importance of that game created an unbelievable atmosphere.
Other matches I recommend are Japan vs South Africa 2015, Scotland vs England 2019, and Scotland vs Japan 2019.
Was it not maybe referring to the Springboks beating England in the 2007 World Cup Final?
Loved your reaction. Hope your channel grows even more
Not A Communist thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying them as well.
As soon as Carl Sinkler hit the deck unconscious, that was when S Africa had it in the bag.
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
You said it, we are that dominant.
Haha yeah from start to finish it was too easy
@@KurtyFloLive Check out some SA schoolboy rugby and you'll see why we have the depth that we do. Unfortunately a lot of talent gets poached by European clubs for good money while they are still teenagers. So a lot is slipping through, hopefully it's all changing now with our coach who is now the Director of Rugby in SA...
Nope, that's not Sir Nigel. That's a french ref. He's good.
Every ref has their own "style". The way they like to see things done.
The teams know the refs well and the refs know the teams well. It's a game.
As a scrum half, it was my job to "game the ref" and as a ref it was my "right" to ignore the whiney little bastards.
I'm sure everyone here agrees me here.
Rit the Rugger haha right the refs for rugby would throw all of us off the pitch in America, for some reason we always assume we know the game better than the refs and it’s always a fight lol rugby plays with a lot of respect tho and I like that
@@KurtyFloLive Rugby refs wield a lot of power. The conditions are quite narrow about when it can be done but a ref can award a penalty try . I believe it's the only sport where refs can actually scoreboard you.
Perhaps you could check out some of the rugby ref videos.
Rit the Rugger yeah that’s interesting I had no idea, in America when the ref helps one team we call it point shaving and it happens in college basketball all the time even to this day sadly, but I will definitely look up the rugby ref videos thanks
@@KurtyFloLive Woah. As I said the conditions are quite narrow. It's not "helping one team". The conditions are that, if in his opinion, that if not for the actions of a defender, a try would have been scored, he can award the try.
When he sees the infraction, in his mind he should erase the defender from the field and then project what would have happened. In his mind, the defender could not have done something else, he was never there.
Man...you make me laugh...in a good way.
Might as well also do the 2007 World Cup final.
Lunga Biyela alright yeah I’m down!
You're pouring salt into the English's wounds.
@@KurtyFloLive And while you're at it, the one that rules them all --1995 :-)
He is nice to the ref because if you anger him your team is likely to get screwed over.
Shoulder injury is the most common I broke my shoulder when I landed wrong at a tackle and now it sometimes dislocates but just pop it back and play on 🇿🇦
16:03 Legend has it Farrell is still spinning
You should've seen England after the match, they were such sore losers, they didn't wear their medals presented to them. Like at the Olympics, they hang around your neck for you, but they took it off. Said a lot about their attitude and sportsmanship
Do yourself the favor of watching the documentary "Chasing the sun". Not as a reaction (5 or so episodes) but to give you the story of how South Africa's coaches and team pulled together to peak at just the right time. Their game plan for the final was almost the opposite of all the other games. It was magnificent.
Great reaction, loved it!
Mimeniia thanks! Glad you enjoyed it as well!
Awesome video mate
Ek was in my poes daai dag....
It's great to see an American react to Rugby. Great reaction. Would love to see you react to the 1995 World Cup final where SA won the World Cup for the 1st time (as the underdogs) against NZ. The rules of the game was different back then and that made the game a bit more brutal. Also, this was just after Nelson Mandela became President and the movie Invictus is based on his relationship with Francois Pienaar, the captain of the squad at the time.
Oh thank you I really appreciate that! And Lit! Ill most definitely react to the 95 World Cup! I was just looking that up as I read your comment lol so that one will be out soon as well!
@@KurtyFloLive Thanks. I watched your reaction video to the Haka. Springboks have the Impi's run out of the field before matches (Zulu warriors). You should watch the Haka as performed by Jonah Lomu's team mates after his passing. In the '95 World Cup, he and Joost v/d Westhuizen were hardcore opponents but ended up being great friends outside of Rugby. Joost also recently passed away from Motor Neuron Disease. Both were true legends in that final and the game. Keep up the great work.
Two RWC finals that SA won England. PRIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA!!🦁
YESS! shouts to all of South Africa! when does this years world cup start?
@@KurtyFloLive On the 8th pf September brother. Make sure to support the boys in Green and Gold!
The little fast dude is Cheslin Kolbe. His cousin is the world and Olympic record holder for the 400m as well as record holder for 300m as well as 200m sprinter: Wade van Niekerk.
Guess speed runs in the family, pun intended.
New Zealandand And south africa hold the records for both most worldcup wins 3times both
Oh wow they both have 3? That’s legendary
The ref is very bias he stops the game in the first 3 minutes for England but when one south africa gets injured he plays the game on
Ewert Kruger I’ve noticed the refs really can make or break a game in this sport, that’s gonna take some getting used to so I totally understand where you are coming from.
was because the english player was injured in the middle of the field, no real attack on - so no stopping potential points. our injury was near our line, with them on attack
To be fair, Sinckler looked clearly concussed.
Learn your rugby rules, the injured player was in the way of play. If a player is outside the line of play the game continues
Two Cents Rugby - a New Zealander is a very good analyst of the game !
He analyses the stats and predicts wins and losses.
Cool I’ll check it out! Thanks
this match was the best day of my life! :-)
Reb ahh yes I know the feeling!
"South Africa is the shit right now".....South Africa and New Zealand has been the shit in Rugby for over a hundred years.
Riaan Lips that’s lit I just started checking out rugby and for sure South Africa and New Zealand are among my favorite
@@KurtyFloLive Enjoy man. Best sport in the world.
What they were also checking for in the 1st try was whether the other player (13), was in front of the kicker, because like the pass (which you seem to know about), you must be in line with our behind the kicker if you want to try and catch it, but if you can't tell that it is definitely forward, grounded, etc. you struck with the regs decision!
If you havent seen it yet you should check out the LA sevens final between SA and Fiji of this year
Kaylinn Davids alright yeah I have not seen it but I can definitely check that out! Thanks
@@KurtyFloLive I promise you that you wont regret it 😊
Kaylinn Davids thanks I’m looking forward to it, I’m tryin to find a video of it as we speak!
@@KurtyFloLive Enjoy 😁

You are spot on near the end of the video my man, England really did not have an excuse for the way they played. They had physically dominated New Zealand the week before and had all of the momentum going into this game. South Africa had a close game with Wales the week before yet still managed to dominate england in the final. It's not new to be physically overpowered by SA as they are always big, strong and fast. This game just showed what "over confidence" can do to a team. England still had a great world cup and have been doing very well for the last couple years, respect to them for that.
beechstrength yeah definitely a lot of respect to England for even getting there. And I see, it did seem for a few minutes in the first that England wasn’t taking them too serious especially after SA missed that first kick and you’re right that attitude is what made it harder for them but all respect to SA they dominated that whole game it was impressive to watch, especially on the World’s stage.
Other than England losing five games in a row
Love from South Africa
Appreciate you!
@@KurtyFloLive thanks for the good content! I'd recommend that you don't do a video about south Africa's cricket rn😢 corruption has taken place... unfortunately for us who enjoy watching sports. But keep up the great work!
GoodByeNinja 1 thanks I appreciate your support! Corruption is sports in never good thanks for the heads up
Once you are hooked on rugby, no other sport will ever get close to it...
Yo, so real quick - England and the Bokke have a rivalry. World cup takes place every 4yrs - back in 07' the Boks beat England in the final to win our 2nd world cup which is why this final was so symbolic and intense.
Luca Longari oh okay yeah I could really feel how intense it was there in the second half. I love a good rivalry!

Thabo Seithathi oh really? I gotta check those highlights then for sure!
No, South Africa beat England 15-6 in the 2007 final. South Africa DID, however, win 15-12 (after extra time) in the 1995 final against New Zealand.
@@tommywulfric9768 Oh yeah. I got the 2 mixed up. Thanks
@@_Justin_Case no worries mate 👍
From a experienced rugby fan we had the World Cup in our hands but from the starting whistle we weren’t up for playing the South Africans, there was one decent attack from us (English) that we should of bought back 5 or 7 points, we tried playing there game with box kicking and got demolished everywhere, are give the SA credit for playing against a 1st 15 that we haven’t had for years as we have had many injuries in the last 8 years
Zach Long and beyond after watching how dominate the semi final was against that NZ squad it was almost a sure bet that England would run away with it but I give credit to the South African squad as well, they saw that in order to beat England they were going to need a solid 80 minutes and fortunate or unfortunate there were some injuries that played a part. I would definitely like to see these squads rematch.
Hell yeah
I suggest watching the full game, as the highlights don't really show everything that happened in the game. Like the fact the SA nr7 basically hunted down the Eng nr10.
True, Ford still has nightmares about PSDT. (Not PTSD but so close).
Or that SA nr 10 think he is actually a forward row player😂 Using his body as bait, sucking in defenders and creating gaps....
The game of rugby is mostly won by the team that works the most, works the hardest and has the most passion and heart on the field. It also comes down a type of brotherhood that is formed by you and your team mates. I can honestly say that rugby is more than a sport to some people and the lessons that the game teaches you on the field can be carried over into general life. For example the respect you give your opposition and the ref can be carried over into a work situation. Sorry if im rambling i just really wanted to say my piece 😂😂
You will understand the thing that South Africa has for rugby
The pass could not be ruled forward because the rule states that as long as the ball leaves the players hands in a backwards direction, the pass is legal even if the ball travels forward, to compensate for the momentum of a player running forward while passing. I loved every minute of this game, 12 years of waiting for a 3rd world cup was a long time, but it was worth it.
Jbay2608 oh cool alright that makes sense and well worth the wait I’m sure my friend.
10:05 this particular set of highlights loses a little bit of context because it doesn't show one important set of phases that England had when they nearly scored a try. There's another highlight on UA-cam that does show most of it. Enland has something like 20 phases including several right on the goalline and they were stood up repeatedly by the South African defense and eventually sent backwards and had to settle for a kick. That drive was the game for England. Their failure to score the try deflated and South Africa's ability to shur down England's advance right on the doorstep put them on another level. From that point on these team's were headed in different directions. This is most of why England looks so defeated.
There English heads are down because they are being physically dominated that is what the scrum does to you or to others. That's what makes rugby special, it's brings us back to our primal instincts.
England came with 1 game plan. South Africa's crushing rush defense prevented all aspects of England's plan A and since they had no plan B, South Africa owned them.
You actually don’t get as many injuries to the shoulders/head as you would think. Without pads you run hard but you also run smart and make sure your head is out the way and you have a good body position to take the hit. It’s more calculated than the head on smashes you see in the NFL. The helmet gives confidence to go in head first which is a 1 way ticket to a spinal injury.
Idontknowwhattowriteforthis true self preservation is paramount in rugby and in American football we throw caution to the wind and lead with our skulls which ain’t it at all lol
KurtyFlo Live! Haha exactly! Makes for some entertaining watching though but I don’t half cringe when I see two players fold like an accordion after a head on. Ps your rugby knowledge is pretty good! respect from South Africa 👍
Idontknowwhattowriteforthis yeah those head on collisions are terrible, but you’re right it is an entertaining watch lol Thanks I appreciate that, I think I’m getting the hang of it little by little, much respect from Colorado shout outs to South Africa!
The reason england looked dejected at half time. England's tactic were always, go hard the first 20 minutes, get a score and scoreboard pressure. Well, england attacked and attacked, but south africa kept on defending, and, offcourse, if you keep in attacking, you get more tired. Second half, sout africa had more energy in the tank, scoring 2 late tries
wikus pansegrouw ahh okay I get it! That first try SA scored in the second half broke their opponents backs. England never recovered
The best game of the world cup for me, though, was the semi final between south africa and wales. Will be a boring highlights reel, though, haha! Okay, that time of the year in japan, it's very hot and humid. You need to preserve your energy well, and the ball gets wet, your hands sweaty. Better to defend than to attack. So, south africa kicked the ball deliberately away, to defend and waiting for wales, opposition to make the mistakes. Geuss what? Wales did the same, deliberately kicking the ball away, waiting for south africa. Was a huge arm wrestle. You kick, I kick, you kick, I kick. You make a mistake, I will kick a penalty over. So they got turns to kick penalties over. Dead even. Eventually, south africa scored a try, but 5 minutes later, wales responded with a try, and it was dead even again. In the end, a lapse of concentration from wales with 2 minutes to go, south africa kicked the penalty, and went into the final
Oh yeah, the fairy tale team was japan. Rugby isn't huge in asia, they beaten 2, top 10 teams to top their group and became the first asian team in history to go into a quarter finals. Watch highlights, japan vs ireland and japan vs scotland if you want to, remember, japan was the underdogs in both games
wikus pansegrouw wow sounds like a real chess match out there! I’ll check it out and try to understand the strategies fully but your break down is impressive thanks!
wikus pansegrouw i will definitely check those out thanks, there’s nothing like a good underdog story so I look forward to it.
i know i watched this live, but i dont remember anything except screaming, racks of ribs and BEER - if you cant make it to the match, get to a SPUR #PSA
That must have been amazing! lol what is a SPUR? Forgive me for not knowing btw lol
Bro you gotta understand no one and I mean no one wants to go off the pitch in a world cup when you represent your country there's no greater honer for a rugby player then to play a rugby game in the world cup final
gareth van den berg I respect it
South Africa was just dominant and has always been a nightmare for England.
The 20 point victory was a right shellacking in the end for England. Too cocky. Reminds me of the England Wales WC game in 2015. Again they were too cocky. Twickenham 2018, 6 Nations v Ireland, again too cocky........ They’re all good players but they need a little bit of humility.
Have a look at "faf de klerk the giant slayer" about the south african number 9
Regarding the 14:00 min mark pen, you can touch a player, put you can't move/change direction (lane), to obstruct/block an attacking player from trying to get to the ball!
Kurt Sudheim ohhh okay! Thanks
