All these quarterfinals felt like finals. This is what World Cup rugby is all about.
Absolutely👏👏💯🔥
Rarely have we seen such high drama in one weekend
THIS is knockout rugby
Wales-Arg and Eng- Fiji didn't feel like finals. The other two games were a different story. FRA-SA was one of the best games I've seen in my 35+ years of watching rugby
@@PB22559 England v Fiji was a banger too mate - you must have watched a league game instead or something. lay off the klippies and coke xD
Kolbe's charge-down must not be overlooked! That was the difference in score!
especially since Kolbe started off before Ramos moved, and therefore should have been disallowed.
@@xguilbertnight night, don't let the bed bugs bite😂
@@xguilbert
Nope - I re-watched it - he was just that quick! Sorry!
@xguilbert, just as the blind ben o'keef, very decisively made the wrong decision at the end, denying any tmo review, to give france a scrum possession when the france player was clearly offside and blocked the pass from faf out the ruck. ben o'keef was a completely trash ref in all regards. you cannot blame their loss on that one bad decision when there have been many other outrageous and downright terrible decisions against both teams throughout the entirety of the game.
Nah, knock on in the tackle and hands on the ground before the turn over was the deference 🙃
Arguably the best game of rugby I have had the privilege of watching. So grateful the Boks came out ahead but it went to the wire…
Great show mate
With 9min left, France had their opportunity but took the 3. With that mindset, I knew SA got them.
South Africa also got insanely lucky with the first 2 tries. Not to mention Kolbe's charge down of Ramos' conversion attempt.
Ireland v New Zealand was a much better game... France kept south Africa in it with silly mistakes and very soft scores
@@johannesfourie4053Pressure many times causes "lucky" situations.
Congrats to Bokks!!!
As french, it's now usual to take massive sports blows historically (3 WC finals loss on rugby, last one against Argentina on football), but at least, it's always in some kind of dramatic unreal fashion. Something to be recording in the books.
Until 55th, i was confident, i think we were the best team, by little inche.
After usual Saffas second wave, we were doomed and finally beaten fairly.
At end of 80th, Bokks were better.
And at the end, NH fails again.
We failed again as French, with maybe one of our brightest side of all-time.
I feeled for Irish yesterday, exact same context, same result.
South always prevails.
Blacks are still here. World Champs are still here.
We're out. Ireland is out.
But even if history shows again NH was tamed by SH, it will be remembered for Ages.
Congrats Bokkes. Pass this french hurdle on her own soil was massive feat to do. You did it.
For me, pressure was to insane coming into this WC.
I still believe one day French will become world Champions, absolute dream to wait at least 4 years more, but Irish want to claim either, Australia will coming possessed by new spirit coming to their own WC, and as always, South Africa and New Zealand, both GOATS of rugby will be still here to wait us at turn..
We trash talk England, after last 6N, they're still here. We're not.
We wanted hypothetic revenge against Argentina (football^^), they're still here. We're not.
We're wanted cross path of ultimate All Black form as 2011 mirror circle. They're still here. We're not.
Harsh reality.
Good night for all rugby fans all around the world.
Congrats again Bokks.
Allez les Bleus!!!
Can somebody summarise for me💀
I can only imagine how you must feel, but keep your chin up. France did so well. And will continue to do well. A true rugby nation. Lots of passion and amazing players.
France must be proud of this WC. They gave it everything.
And thanks for an amazing game. You really pushed us all the way. We respect the hell out of France.
Love from 🇿🇦
The worm will turn for France eventually if they keep playing this kind of high quality rugby. They will be world cup winners, the dice will eventually roll in their favor to win these fine margin contests in knockout games - same goes for ireland.
if you're at the top long enough, the worm turns.
Well said 👏
Yeah that's hectic, fifa and now rugby world cup, at home but all loses down to wire and small areas unlucky mate ..
Even as a South African, I’m heartbroken for France. Their first RWC win, at home no less, would’ve been magical. Much love to Les Bleus. Keep your heads up boys - world rugby is always better with a stellar French team 🇿🇦❤️🇫🇷
Totally agree. I'm also a Bok supporter but i'm gutted for them. They deserve to be in the Semi's and England doesnt
Thank you guys 😢
it's IRBs mistake.. This game and the NZ v Ire games should've been in the semi finals
Kinda easy when you cheat dude. Take your pity away play fair next time
Stolen by referee… it’s not the first time, it’s hard, it’s enough. The stellar French team is tired to be stolen.
Power to weight ratio, Kwagga is probably the strongest rugby player around 💪🏻
He is such a beast !
Il throw Dupont as a close 2nd - he wrestled a ball from Siya in the Bok 22 - Kwagga is a BEAST
Plus deceptive speed and skills of his epic 7s career.
Can't really believe that he's half my age and still playing top flight rugby.
Kwagga = DOMKRAG Incredible Performance
Bongi, Kwagga, Kriel and Etzebeth in particular were incredible. What a game, will go down as one of the greatest ever.
When eben tapped that interception back, my buddy said eben must have elastic arms )
@@ericdavison6186 that was insane, one of the best defensive plays I've ever seen
How can you leave Kolbi out of that list, charge down proved to be vital and a tri.
Kolbe , Kwagga , Vermaleun , Eben, Kriel , Allende were all players of the match ...France played very well thank you to the French for giving us heart problems 😂🙏
Cheslin mate!!!
As a welsh man South Africa well deserved boys 🏴
The boks cheat at almost every breakdown
@@joshuataylor3550 Your dad has a breakdown every time your mom cheats
🤣 cheat? Honestly if South Africa cheated at the breakdown we would have something,anything to say about Kolisi and Bongis non existant fetching game, we hampered by selection quotas bud, definetly ate not a team of cheats, that title goes to NZ
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb lol, lemme get this straight: siya and bongi are quotas? please say that's not what you're saying cos that's some pretty desperate tin foil hat stuff
This has been the best rugby world cup quarter finals of all time..... without a doubt.
Yeah with 3 southern hemisphere teams all walking it into the semis 🤣🤣🤣 again... The North never learn do they
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb"walking it", seriously? I bet every Kiwi was sweating in those final minutes against Ireland. They could have so easily lost. They know full well they didn't walk into the semi, and France certainly didn't give SA an easy time.
@@noggintubeWas no "walk" that's for sure, I think France gave at least half of us South African viewers heart problems 😂
Things I never see in a rugby match but saw today:
Charged down conversion kick.
Penalty to touch landing behind where it was kicked from.
Scrum called from a mark.
Drop-goal attempt from the base of a ruck.
Probably more weird things happened in this match besides what i can remember above, and that's not getting into the standard of play! What a crazy crazy crazy match. Absolute treat to watch as a depressed Irish fan.
It was a movie wasn't it? All those 4 things you mentioned had me astounded.
Commiserations to Ireland. 🇮🇪
I've never seen any of those either! Crazy match
I would add a doubtful tap who could (should ?) have resulted in a penalty try and yellow card for big Eben, but not asked to be checked by the TMO. Congrautlations to the referee, what was he doing ?
@@fredericgillot1976if you're referring to the batted down (and backward) ball in the first half...sorry to say your assessment is incorrect. A knock on means forward motion of the ball. Eben clearly pushed it backwards...hence no knock on...hence no intentional knock on....hence no foul...hence no card. 👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers! Great game from France, though. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kolbe is just amazing 🇿🇦
A NZ v South Africa final looks inevitable. 🤩
Imagine the horror if it's Argentina vs inglan?
@Mo-yd8xc you should consider stand up😅
Hopefully 🤞that would
be awesome🇳🇿🇿🇦
😊¹ yes it is going to be what a final
As a very proud Bok supporter, I say that nothing is inevitable. We will have to do a lot more than just "show up" at the semi final, it is a knock out game, we will have to be at our best again to win.
I was speechless after the first half. Absolutely crazy
Watching Kolbe's was like witnessing a literal sprinbok run across the field.
Kolbe is our most underrated back and our best back. I honestly wish Rassie will drop Willie and give Kolbe the 15, he needs more ball not less
Surtout sur le contre de la transformation de Ramos… tricheur !
i dont know about underrated but he is our best plaer@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb
The realest Springbok!
Eben Etzebeth is an absolute machine! Absolute privilege to bear witness to this game. Wow! Thank you France and boks for an amazing display of quality rugby
Cheslin was my PoTM. So many important touches, tackles, etc. the man was on fire.
One of the best winger for sure. But I don’t like his attitude with the opponent. I found him agressive. But I guess I know from where it comes
A lot has been said about the draw, BUT it has produced the best rugby EVER in a rugby world cup. Amazing performances by incredible teams. Kudos to all of them
For all the bleating from Scotland and Ireland about the draw, just remember, we were in the same pool.
But now we can't get to see two epic encounters on finals weekend, an Ireland vs France bronze game and a very likely final of South Africa vs NZ , bit of a shame still it's been a great world cup to watch.Yeah been some great rugby played and not just by the bigger rugby nations.
@@garytemaiharoa3204 yep. Even though a bronze game is never good
All the comments coming from the N Hemisphere though. If Ireland won and France won, I bet most of these comments would disappear lol
But it also gave England the easiest RWC run in history, which whatever way you look at it or try word it, is simply unfair to other teams like Scotland for example.
After watching rugby ardently since 2011 I have to say this is the best match I’ve ever watched… it had everything, the drama, the quality, the controversy, the emotion , EVERYTHING. And at the end My Bokke came out best. Couldn’t have scripted it any better , and well done to France on an incredible campaign they can be very proud of
Let's go all the way Boks!!! Well done to FRA, your boys played their hearts out, I have never seen our defence pushed to such limits!
This World cup has produced some of the greatest test matches i have ever seen, Ireland vs SA, Irelans vs NZ and then this one somehow was even better
Outstanding. The 2 big quarterfinals were EPIC with the finest of margins. That blocked conversion kick was the difference in the end
Best weekend of test rugby ever.
Have to say I’ve been enjoying South Africa’s variety/enervation lately: 7-1 split, scrum off a mark, tap for penalty, drop goal attempts form the ruck, changing between a kicking game and free flowing running rugby.
I'm over the moon that 3 Southern Hemisphere teams have made the Semis👏
From a Fijian supporter, a big Congrats to our Southern brothers in the
Los Pumas🇦🇷, All Blacks🇳🇿 and Springboks🇿🇦. Bring it home lads, where it belongs💪
#SOUTHERNSTRENGTH
From Argentina, we encourage Fiji!!! Great game.
From South Africa, we also supported Fiji. Especially against the English. After Australia, our least favourite team.
That was possibly one of the best games in the history of the tournament just awesome
Absolutely!! Go Bokke!! 🇿🇦
i had a heart attack when we went for that dropgoal. what a game! 🇿🇦
kolbe tried to pull a wilkinson😂
he is not him 😭 🏴 ❌

First off, well done France, what a game you guys had. Dupont, Jalibert and Mauvaka are outstanding players.Thank you so much for giving us such a quality game.
Second, Bokke, you statted rough but my goodnesss did you fight back! Made us all proud today. Cheslin, Kriel, Etserbeth, Bongi, Kwagga were absolute class today!
Bring on England!!!!!
It’s nice to see a Boks fan show some respect 🫡
Smash the English please. From Argentina. Let's go the south!
Mauvaka was immense!
same time smash NZ and join us in a final
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb Deal!
Can't wait to see the team of the week.
Jessie Kriel was my MOM and in outside center
Rubbing salt in the wound as an irish fan seeing them progress to the semis but looking forward to the Boks mowing the English 🇿🇦 what a game
Ireland are a very good team... They just need to get a few more tools in their locker.. Springboks and All Blacks(surprisingly) showed more endurance
@@karabomafa5609Muscle memory. 🤷♂️
Yip!!!
Irish are a great team, but do tell us HOW on earth do you let NZ win in your backyard up North? Ireland did not pitch up for the ABs and once again the choking began. Ireland had the talent but it lacks the heart, that killer instinct... I am not so sure you can coach this
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb It was a close game and had Murray not conceded that penalty to make 28 points to the AB's Ireland despite not being at their best could've won it with a penalty or drop goal at the end, and lets not forget they beat the AB's last summer in a 3 test tour in their back yard after losing the opening game.
What's interesting now is how Ireland progress as some key players will be retiring. I didn't have a dog in the fight, I'm English, but it was a great close game and I bet a few AB fans had some nerves at the end.
“Eben Etzebeth, he looked like a giant playing with children“ 😆😆 great line
Dude Eben and Snyman are NBA height
Best rugby weekend probably in rwc history. Tears 😭 for Fiji though.
Great channel you’ve got - I’ve discovered it this World Cup. Well done yourself mate and your lovely family 👍❤️
BOK -B -VOK!!!!! Well done Bokke.. my heart nearly gave in! And the French players are legends. Top man Mark. Your folks are legends too!
The best rugby game of the century. Two Titans going head-to-head and what a breathtaking performance from both teams. Magnificent!
We see the Klipdrift brady there in the back 😂 What a game!
After that game I need some 😂
Another cracking game!!!!
Which comes as no surprise!
Well done 🇿🇦 and well played🇫🇷
Looking forward to the semi finals
Seriously this game (& NZ v Ire) was/were next level stuff. I feel privileged to have watched them both. It will take something truly insane for it not to be an NZ v SA final. It's so rare to see a game when literally every player was on point both mentally & physically. Marginal decision making was the only difference such as SA going for a tap & go set move leading to the Etzebeth try & then France opting for 3 points in a similar situation soon after. The intensity & discipline under pressure were a sight to behold. Great stuff, and what a RWC it has been thus far.
I've been waiting the entire world cup for Argentina to put up a quality effort they're able to, hopefully doesn't happen in the semis and trip up NZ.
Arg will be pumped and up for this game 🤣... I'm not writing them off as they owe the South a win over the ABs. They have the game and talent to knock off the ABs it's just a mental hurdle and seeing as this is neutral ground I am convinced they will take the w
To beat this French team in WC at home is incredible!!!
No you just need to buy the referee
South Africa has no money to buy refs😂
@@parsifal1869 cry more 🧂🧂🧂🧂
yes you need a referee for that !!
south africa have enough money to by steroid and referee like iun 1995 @@The-0189
Love the Klipdrift in the back left of your setup! Supporting the Boks the right way😉
From South Africa here - what a game. My heart was racing the whole time. I think we made silly mistakes, lack of discipline, but I think we did really well especially with the added pressure from the French crowd.
Definitely needed a drink after that one. What a brilliant game of rugby. Hopefully we can make it through to the finals
I'm English mate, you don't need hope, just turn up, I'm hoping we don't get a battering and at least try to keep it close. The final is AB's vs SA unless the rugby gods have a sick sense of humour.
Almost certainly the best QF games in the WC. Every one was a tight, contested and skillful game. All four of them. But this was at another level
Crazy weekend of ruggers! Argentina with a very good game against Wales. Followed by probably the best QF game in RWC history (for 24 hours at least) with the NZ Ireland game. Fiji with a brave fight back against England but ultimately not enough and then finish the weekend with one of the most insane back and forth, game of two halves that there has ever been.
Let's hope the semis and final can be as competitive and exciting. 👍
Without a shadow of doubt, the first half is the best half of rugby I've ever witnessed.
Man the game was insane. Both teams were in it to win it.
I'm sure fans all over lost a few kilograms 😅
Well done Boks ❤
Gutted for France in their home tournament but South Africa were simply sensational tonight! Hope the Boks go on to lift the World Cup in 2 weeks time! 🇿🇦
im sorry but the referee didn't help france
Another fantastic post match review. You are quality mate. Really appreciate it 🍾😀👍
Really enjoyed that one, amazing efforts from both teams. As a Scot Im not sure I would have liked watching us play NZ or SA in that form!
Bok fan here. I cannot take much pleasure from a French side this brilliant leaving in the quarters. Screw World Rugby.
What you on about 😂 u can still delete
@@mzanziman9150 Don't misunderstand, it was one of the greatest test matches and I'm delighted the Boks won. However, this clash should have happened later in the tournament.
I can't find loads of pleasure in a team as good as the French leaving so early in the tournament.
What he said made sense
I thought that the French Rugby Federation wanted the draw really early so fans could book their tickets and sort accommodation. I thought it was t World Rugby but I could be very wrong.
@@NTL578 we beat France in an almighty encounter. If you’re feeling off about that win you are not a springbok fan 😂
What a game. I didn't breathe for most of the game. So proud of our Bokke. Great show Mark. Looks like a Boks vs AB final. But we can't relax. Rugby is a funny game. So proud of our team 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Felt like the Semis. That was a wonder and intense and a hard played match. Congratulations to both teams.
Four amazing games this weekend! What a time to be alive!
P.S. Up yours Sir Clive!
P.P.S. Felt like the first 40 minutes went by in a blink of an eye and the second took absolute ages.
P.P.P.S. Polisiekoffie (brandy and coke) - drink of champions!
Respect for Sir Clive. Listen carefully to his analysis and then do the opposite.
》》 At one point I actually thought my intestines are out of my body😭💔... never in my existence have I screamed like that‼️😭.《《 thank you Springboks🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥
Especially at the breakdowns, it went down, and it somehow pops up for you! You'd never expect a bok to get ripped, but it happened)).
I watched this in a bar in Florida with about 400 other South Africans. Probably the most I’ve stressed and the loudest I’ve ever screamed. Hot damn what a match.
NZ v SA semi final in 2015 used to be my favourite game ever, until this weekend 😅
Mark being in the know about Klippies en Coke shows that he is the real MVP! ✌🏾
Unreal game of rugby blood pressure through the roof . Just feel blessed at watching such a great game of rugby
Amazing game to watch! Power plays, power defence! SpringBoks bench was crucial to this win. Sorry SpringBoks has no Bench players at all, there are all starters and to me there was the difference that decided this big battle. Congrats to the Sprinboks from an Argentinian! French people should feel proud of their team. Rugby sport wins here!
See you in the finals, only NZ and SA stand in the way
There were a few bok players that played their socks off, but for me Jesse Kriel was MoM comfortably. Made multiple last ditch tackles and reads, plus that grubber as the cherry on top..felt like i was saying KRIEL! out loud more than any other name. And thats coming from a Kriel-detractor
Same here!
I am barely alive atm, that game took years of my life as Boks supporter. Maaaaaaaaaaaan that was intense!!!
Incredible game of rugby. Really wish it were a SF or Final. Cruel to have it so early
I can watch that Kolbe Charge over and over and over....he was incredible. Wow
What a match that was, but it was a shame someone had to lose, 💔for France, this weekend has shown how cruel sport can be.
if it's fair yes ! but it was not !! difficult to accept injustice
All the 50 - 50 calls went to france you absolute door knob. Top that off with france cleaning from the side in every ruck off their feat. The reality is the boks played against 16 and still came out on top. @@roms4154
Look at it this way; what makes the tournament great is the greatness of worhty opponents. France did a magnificent job, they can hold their heads up high.
The whole damn QFs was 🔥
The game was on here in SA at 9PM which was pretty late, else I would have done the braai thing. What an incredible game of rugby. All the games in these quarterfinals had drama, passion and heartache. Hats off to the French - they brought an incredible game
Haha I’m living in Singapore and so had to set my alarm for 3am and take another two pints from the fridge. Well worth the sleep loss haha
Was privileged to be at the game as a South African. Amazing game. The French were amazing post game. Great gentlemen and ladies.
Devastated really. I'm trying to scroll scenarios in my head of where it went wrong. Several places really. I think we - the French - offered too many counter attack opportunities and lost our nerves when it mattered. French social media is lambasting the ref but we just made too many mistakes against a fantastic side. I don't remember SA playing so well. So yeah, it hurts because this was our best ever side by some distance and the French federation had gone to extreme financial length to make things happen. In the end, it's a case of never the bride, once more. We get respect and admiration all over the world for our French flair but without the killer instinct, it's not good enough. This going to take some deep soul searching for me and possibly many French fans.
classy comment mate, and commiserations 👍
I'm going to lay down for a while now to feel stable again!! Absolutely insane game 💪🇿🇦
Great review again - just love the channel!! This is me as a Saffer sitting here down in North Canterbury, thoroughly enjoying the spectacular rugby!
Go Boks & AB's!! If it is, would be an amazing final and leading to (continuous) World Cup domination for the Southern Hemisphere teams. Who will get #4?!
I'd laugh if England went on and won it
You talk as if the final is next. Huge disrespect for the Argentinians and English by doing that
@@Coreylahey1000 There is no disrespect as I used the words ... "if it is". Regardless of that, both Argentina & England will have to lift their games to get through.
I could not watch it live because I did not think my heart could take it. Turns out I was right. Even knowing the result before watching it later, it was still making me bite my nails.. If you look at the stats, you don't know how SA got the result, but this was something special, from both teams. For me though, Du Pont was the man of the match, playing with a broken face and what not, and still at times just producing black magic all over the park. France just came against a bok team that did not know how to quit. Incredible game, played in an incredible spirit by incredible teams. Well done France, we salute you. And to be Boks? May the green Machine roll on!
Springbok jersey and Klipdrift in the background. Glad we still have the NZ vs SA final on the cards!
Willie Le Roux absolutely added nothing, doesn't deserve his place in the team. I really hope they opt for Moodie in the Semi who can cover 15, 13 and wing.
Edit : BTW Steven Kitsoff is one of the greatest props we've ever had, but he had his most shocking game in his entire Bok career today.
Willie is becoming an ever increasing liability...
Agreed - he is a has-been!
Finally, someone said it. He only causes my nerves to go up. The amount of times he messes up is unbelievable...
Don't agree, willie was brought on to just add a calming effect, remember
@@ashleygahl3638 utter rubbish...how do you calm anything by making mistakes...GTFOH
Thank you France. Even if SA lost, I would have been proud that we held up against you.
I don't think anyone can realistically accuse Ireland of choking last night. But for me, France, or at least some of their players, will feel like they choked. Woki and Ramos definitely were way, way below the standard they'd set over the last year. But kudos to the Boks' scramble defence. So many line breaks but they just kept getting to the ball first regardless. I just hope they go and marmalise England. That might make me feel a bit better, Thanks again for the quick write up Mark!
I think its harsh to say anyone choked in either game. Just massive pressure and fine margins.
I realistically accuse Ireland of choking last night because that's what happened, worst performance of their world cup.
Ireland are choke artists, the entire North has this problem though when playing southern hemisphere teams. We are still miles apart and what makes it worse is that the standard of SH rugby had dropped since SA left to play up North and yet we have 3/4 teams in the semis 😂 again
@@CamcolitoI wouldn’t necessarily say choked because we did improve throughout the game and it was tight for most of it, but the familiar problem came where we struggled at the beginning and the problems kept coming for 25 minutes. You cannot do that in a quarter final, period. We played 55 minutes of good rugby when we needed a full 80.
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lbexcept England. No matter how crap they play, they always believe they are going to win. As an Irish fan, the most infuriating thing about the Englnd team. We've only started learning that, but the game against NZ showed we have a way to go.
Springboks and Allblacks hitting form.I can see a repeat of the 1995 Final on the horizon.Joost and Jonah will be proud.Well done Bokke!
Love you Guys!
Incredible game! The klippies and coke is almost sold out here in SA after that game. Hoping for a SA v NZ final.
Best RWC games:
1 France vs SA
2. NZ vs Ire
3. IRE VS Sa
4. France vs NZ or Aus vs Fiji
Nr 1 is gonna be NZ vs SA 🔜
You could make it 4
France v NZ was pretty darn good also.
This is correct
@@Patch801 true
Australia v Fiji I enjoyed watching more than the opening game I think. That game wasn’t the same as the other top 4 clashes but I’m bias as I love Fiji.
My heart! Of course I am relieved that SA won but at the same time very sad for France. It's like neither team deserved to lose and I felt the same during the NZ Ireland match.
Two brilliant QF's from the Big 4...sad to see two go, but that's the margins
so let me get this Straight..France beat the All Blacks, All Blacks beat Ireland, Ireland beat the Boks, & the Boks beat France..this World cup is Something else😄
Have we ever had four better 1/4 finals in a RWC. I did not think the Ireland AB game would be topped but wow, this was off the charts!
If this game didn't kill me, I need to get examined. I might have a heart made out of Titanium...😅😅 What a game!
As a Bok supporter, it was a real nail biter.I I'm relieved and actually feel for the French , they have been so good.
Never in my life.......Cheslins charge .....saved us. Just wow. He played his heart out. Just wow. Just wow
he cheat to start before ramos move !!! but it's allowed for you ! like the forwad interception of etchebest !! all blacks and SA have different rules like usually !!
As a french woman, naturally disappointed but I have to admit the Boks outclassed us: less mistakes, better aerial game, strong even when one man down. Uncharacteristic scories and fumbles from our end, Jalibert and Ramos missing 2 important kicks...We knew it was a final before the final for us, and Kolbe countering Ramos' kick costs us 2 points which costs us the match. Congrats to the Boks, despite the obvious feeling of disappointment
pffff !!! l arbitrage t as convenu ???
Also our replacements for first line were one level bellow the south African ones. Not bad but not good enough. Congrats to the boks but also to our guys. Sad moment but it was objectively a very good rugby game
Respect
@@roms4154les 4 essais qu'on prend c'est 2 sur notre jeu aérien qui est surclassé et les 2 autres ils percent la défense, pas grand chose a dire de ce côté la. Pleurer sur l'arbitrage qui n'est pas aussi scandaleux que tu veux le prétendre ne sert a rien. On devait tuer le match a 15 contre 14 au retour de mi-temps et on ne le fait pas. Trop d'en avants. Jalibert qui foire complet son dégagement et envoie une saucisse, Ramos qui nous fait un renvoi direct...la moindre erreur on l'a payée. Donc, non, je refuse de faire la pleureuse Ouin Ouin l'arbitre. On n'a pas fait un match aussi propre qu'on aurait du. Mais j'enlève rien aux joueurs qui se sont battus, je pense que certains ont juste, pas craqué, mais fendillé sous la pression, et face a cette équipe de Boks, ça suffit a faire le point de différence.
@@coxfirewell said. 👏🏻 Great game by both teams. A game for the books and France was a part of history. You can be proud. 🤙🏻
Loved your watch along and this video. Great job as always mate 👍🏉
Bloody hell that was amazing. Gutted for France but well done SA!
Thanks Mark.
Yes even better than yesterday's game which I didn't think possible.
NZ v SA final would be a humdinger
Hats off to Rassie and Jacques .... the players end the match may be more important than those that start it 👍💯👊🌟
That Klipdrift in the back, just like a South Afircan haha. Keep up the good work man!
I only discovered your channel over this long haul world cup and must say, love listening in to your analysis of Rugby. Recently become obsessed with Rugby, always loved the sport but this world cup activated a deep love of the game. Especially supporting Ireland in victory or defeat. I'm a new fan of your review post games.
Definitely one of the best games in this tournament, really happy for the Boks. It’s a shame to see the hosts go out in the quarterfinals that could have been a finals game, it was so exciting. I do wonder though if Rassie was being a bit creative with the use of the HIA rules? Players seemed to almost rotate on and off changing positions after rests? Still happy with the result- would love to see a Boks vs ABs final.
I don't think they have control over that. I think it may rather have messed with how and when they planned to bring on their substitutions. They had to adapt and it worked out.
You can see Mostert was perplexed but Etsebeth's yellow changed that aspect. Initially it seemed as if Kwagga and Vermeulen were confused as to who was at the back of the scrum.
It seemed a bit befuddled but the Boks adapted.
Never seen the boks dominated on the gainline like this before, France was immense... champion team just find a way to get the W. Just wonder how much this would have taken out of us physically though, time will tell. Fingers crossed for an AB - Boks final!
Remember we don’t have Marx so in such a game we weee always going to miss him. The other guys did however step up big time.
Yeah that was scary af. Thankfully we have much depth.
@@greatshark9625 true. Kwagga was massive off the bench in particular. Think we need to go back to 6/2 though...
klippies in the back, I love it
You are sooooooo fast! Literally just left the pub now and I get home to find your review :)
Damn I love my team, my country, and my people, 🇿🇦. We had no right to win that game the French were superb. Kolbe!!!, Jesus Christ Kolbe!!! He was my "player of the match". His runs from deep gave us a lift every single time, the commitment for the charge down on Ramos. Kolbe was so switched tonight. I can't even think..... so many players stood up, Kwagga, Eben, Jesse. For the French Peato Mauvaka and Uini Atonio were incredible tonight, I was thanking the Gods when they taken off. I guess the biggest difference between the two sides was the quality off the bench.
It's good to be happy and all but don't say the Lord's name like that.
Best I ve ever seen kolbe play , from a Welsh fan. The guy was different level.
@@themultiverseproductions8492 and your handle is the multiverse? You must have seen someone like Kobe doing that elsewhere but running on water. Do share?:)
@@Bokgat daar is geen rede vir daai kommentaar gewees nie.

An awesome wrap-up to some of the best quater finals in RWC history!

le meilleur homme du match BEN O'KEEF
thanks again mark for a great review.
some amazing games this world cup.
irelans vs south africa.
new zealand vs ireland.
south africa vs france.
these three game extremely cloae with skill levels and intensity as never seen before....!
That was a titanic struggle. As a South African I feel exhausted and I was just watching it casually.... France did very, very well and it was a mighty contest worthy of a final.
The french can keep they heads high they are great hosts and they kept us honest, it could have gone anyway, feel so sorry for them in there WC, but happy we got job done
The center pairing from SA was awesome.
Magnificent game of rugga... France were incredible but the way the boks held in and then got the ascendancy was a thing of beauty 👌👌👌
Absolutely gutted for France and congrats to the Boks.What a game , rugby on a different level.I was so pumped I couldn’t sleep !The charge down came back to bite.I hope it’s not a cricket score against England in the semi.What a weekend fir rugby.
