#rugbyworldcup #springboks - Спорт
As a kiwi who loves our great rival 'The Mighty Bok' it has never bothered me what-so-ever that the Boks play with a brutal set piece style. I don't care that people call it boring or stale. In 44 years in New Zealand I have never heard any other kiwi call the Bok style as boring. We love the conflict and warfare that you guys bring to every clash. We savor it. That's your DNA and we know that nothing but our absolute best will do to beat you. All blacks have their DNA too. Its funny because in 2023 The All Blacks pack has played more like the Boks and the Boks backline has played more like the All Blacks. If these two teams meet in the final it will be worthy of one of the most epic finals in history. Two brothers battling it out for supremacy.
Good Man👏🏆🏆🏆🏆💪
❤❤9😅
The two of you.. All the excitement in your voices... So nice to hear 🎉❤
It's interesting to note that all the French tries were scored by forwards. SA scored 3 of their 4 tries through their backs. Historically, you would expect it the other way around.
Very interesting point. That is surprising, historically speaking. However, that is not as surprising having seen SA play for the last year or two - very much developing towards back play in addition to the traditional power forwards gameplan.
Springboks cut off Du Pont connection to his backs. Dude was so frustrated by the end of the game.
It was also strange to see "high kick and regather", instead of our traditional "long kick for territory". Rassie is indeed a Rugby genius, it's hard to know what he's going to do next.
Cobus Reinach and Manie Libbok made the difference
Been like that for ages, if you look at Ireland and Frances try scorers for the last 2 years, the majority of their tries where scored by forewards with some by the backs (not sure about method of scoring, but looking at player numbers that is the case), SA has been scoring through their backs for years. Its just been the hella negative international pundits that have beem falsely pushing that narrative! Been annoying me for ages!
The only thing I would say after reading tons of English fans and media comments is don’t fall for their “wounded dog” facade. England can be an exceptional team on the day.
They like to put up a front, and they have had a easy pool stage going into this point of the tournament, they remain untested against a top tier1 side, but the test is on Saturday
It’s best not to take any team for granted at this point in the tournament - assume they’re all incumbent winners.
@@jaspermalan3640didn't you guys have a easy run in 2019?
Under no illusions Saturday night we (England) could get filled in good and proper.
@elan8213 I fully agree, England is a top quality side with loads of spirit, you can never write off any team in this period of the WC
@Canvashed if I remember we had the AB team in our pool and we lost our opening game against them in 2019, England is a top quality side take nothing away from there players, but it is like they just not linking up together nicely this year, like something is a miss, but regardless they are very good and it would be suicide to write them off in a semi final game
I have a love-hate relationship with the Boks because they are the number one worthy opponent for the All Blacks. As a kiwi, we hate losing to the Boks because they are dam good at rugby. So, I am hoping that this world cup final will be between the ABs and the Boks.
the feeling is Mutual mate most saffas feel this way too because the rivalry gone on for a long time . and ABS are the main team SA like to measure themselves against
Yup, I love the clash of styles. The beatdown we got in Twickenham was horrible to watch, but beautiful to see... If that makes sense
Keo was so passionate Zels hardly had a chance to speak 😂
He's psyched. "Zels, I see you nodding..." and I'm going to keep talking :) This is worth watching twice.
I did apologise to him afterwards.
Love this show, thank you gents.
Good morning/ afternoon Guys from FL USA.
England's biggest problem is that the Springboks will respect them. Almost to a fault. SA's eye is on the ball on Saturday. Not even the trophy itself. That in itself is a monumental obstacle the Red Roses will need to be historic to overcome. This makes for another epic we all deserve.
Like we did last final?,
Exactly! Which is where the All Blacks went Wrong in the last WC..they Shifted their Focus Straight onto the Final without thinking of the Semis first, Probably they thought it Would've been a Cake Walk in the Semi-Final Against England!! on The BOKS minds they trying not to do the same Mistake that the ABs did in 2019!!
@@keithdontsweat8093 Yes. In the other side, England was indeed overconfident.
These two gentlemen know their Rugby.
The only people left that still think the Boks are boring is a has been Scottish coach and the NZ media.
MW, JW and JK to be more precise. 😂😂
NZ media will never get over the fact that the ABs lost 2 test series against the boks in the 1970s and the Cavaliers got smashed in 1986.
@@AKLNZ call it cocky if you want.... Bok fans have bad respect for the men in black.
lol boks always had respect for ABS as team but not NZ media lol@@AKLNZ
I stopped playing rugby relatively early, I then started a marathon running career at the ripe old age of 39 in 2000 I decided to play for my old rugby club, the clubs had integrated with previous "whites only clubs" and for the first time in my life I was playing rugby against coloured and black players, I saw the incredible talent that we as a country had not tapped into and I made a prediction that when we as a country get this right we will be unstoppable, it took till 2019 for this to manifest and if we continue to nurture and develop this massive talent pool, we will be a force in world rugby.
When it comes to team selection, I'll just leave it to them. When I saw the team for Sunday I was shocked. And now I'm talking about what genius team selection it was. So I'll just leave this one to them. Clearly Jacques and Rassie know more about rugby than any of us.
Seriously. You guys have THE BEST analysis of Rugby out of EVERY OTHER show I watch. Absolutely spot on. I’m from Cape Town, live in Spain and LOVE your show!
Can’t wait to visit my beloved Cape Town in November as World Champions again. I watched the France game on Sunday and the guys who were supporting France where very gracious when they lost. Huge respect to France!
It would’ve been more fitting for France to kick England out in the quarters, then we defeat France in the semis and go on to play the AB’s in the final! ‘95 revival!
Keep up the great work guys!🙏
I think the Springbok team will have 7 or 8 changes. Wiese, Ox, Trevor, Kwagga, JK, Esterhuizen, Am and Moodie in. We have been testing 2 proper sides for a while now. Rassie trusts the whole squad and I think he will use the whole squad to manage player load. Cant wait for the team to be announced. Jeez I love World Cup rugby
I thought so too! But just seen there no changes. Crazy, those guys must be exhausted
Finally?? I can't think of a more feared side than the Boks, other than the All Blacks.
I think we shouldn't underestimate the fatigue factor either. Ireland decided to play every match in this World Cup with their strongest team. They didn't apply player rotation like the Springboks. To me, that indicates that they didn't believe in their depth.
When Rassie took over in 2018, he said that the difference between winning and losing among the top 4-6 teams in the world is about 1-2%. That 1-2% comes into play when your players still have near full strength in a crunch game... and it is achieved through the rotation principle and believing in the squad system. Ireland was not worse than 1-2% compared to the All Blacks; they were just 1-2% more fatigued than the All Blacks. And I'm not just talking about physical fatigue but also mental fatigue. They played tremendously enormous matches against the Boks and the Scots... and then the same team against Tonga! Mentally and physically, they became much more drained than Farrell had given credit for.
In my opinion, Farrell expected too much from his players. This probably cost Ireland the cup.
I think we go 6-2 split, Pollard and Faf to start. Manie and Cobus the backs off the bench...Jasper in for Duane
Rassie has all the stats on minutes played vs rest of each player including Englands players. I think there are going to be a lot of changes in the team for Saturday. Rotation rotation rotation.
I agree with your comment, I think the key difference is Ireland also took players with niggles into quarters, simply because they just dont have like for like replacements. We fortunately have the depth and we can put some bigger guns on bench for insurance policy (bring on only in emergency).
To be honest, take Jordie Barrett’s tryline heroics away and this comment would not exist. It’s important to not retrofit causality when there are so many random events in a game of rugby that have outsized impacts on an outcome.
@@credford7Agreed, we all have a tendency to over analyze a win, both those QF could so easily have been different. That said, IRE were cooked. I don't know if they had enough gas left to get through the SF and beat FRA/SA in a final. Maybe if ENG manages to sneak a win. But now we will never know.
S a Saffa living in Scotland and having to listen to the British commentary has been kak at the best of times. When the Allblacks beat the Irish the comment was if New Zealand win they definitely do not deserve it... 😂😂😂
Great episode boys, keep them coming..
This is brilliant commentary! Your analysis is on point . What a pleasure to listen to u guys.
It's not just their rugby that earned Respect. Its also their Professionalism, Open and Warm Attitude towards supporters and other players!!!
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Keo rugby knowledge is jaw dropping
Look it is still a semi game, i would like to see the boks still play with the intensity they have been playing so far, we need to take them upfront but also play our backline with there flair and show they are playing for our nation there family and pride and honor, it is there moment to shine as sportmen, there skills and there passion, regardless we are ao proud of them, and it is not about braging rights, it is for us for hope for love and peace
I was hoping for another show today. Really look forward to these!
Yeah RESPECT we play a new rugby game and I hope we keep going for the future in south Africa rugby 🇿🇦❤️🏉
In the rain a tired Bok team with a ref giving 50/50 calls to England and suddenly we are in trouble 😱 Please Bokke don't underestimate them 🇿🇦
Yup
England are also fatigued front he Fiji game
I can't see anything but a NZ v SA final. Should be epic!
Great rugby chat guys! I'm entertained. Keo is clearly still amped after our victory over the French...Poor Zels hardly got a word in. Although it was great to hear from Ricky 😆
Officially I just want to declare John Kirwan a monumental doos after listening to his salty 🧂 comments on The Breakdown last night.
So true about John Kirwan, I think he is still stuck at RWC 1987...which who knows who would actually have won it if the Boks had to participate. But coming to his analysis of Bok play... He is so far off its as if his comments are of some other team...
JK is a monunental doos, correct
i didnt realise we needed the worlds respect....i though we had that already considering we are 3 time champions
I agree, I don't know where the idea has come from that you guys don't have the utmost respect and admiration of rugby fans all over the world
The world has always been harshly criticizing the Bokke, all the years, no matter how we play.
I mean look back at AB comments on our 7/1 split a while ago...
I think a lot of the disrespect originated from the AB's.....
Check out the history of their negative comments towards SA and Boks.
I kind of remember that they accused us of poisoning them some years ago.
Etc, etc
@@ThirdEye_oOonot so straight forward cause at our best world media still say we the team that can be beaten . Everyone else lost because of their mistake not Bok been god team.
@@maridejager7931 the only person I saw strongly against the 7 1 split was Matt Williams and he's Australian. I think a lot of your fans have a big chip on your shoulder and expect the world to be against you so focus only on the negative comments that are levelled against you (which every country cops). Anyone who knows rugby understands how amazing the Bokke are and appreciates that they continually elevate our beautiful game
The English have massive motivation to lift their game this week. Finalists last world cup , losing out to us at the last hurdle after crushing the All Blacks in the semis . You guys just about wrote off the All Blacks last week and they came back with their best game ever . Whos to say England dont do the same . Weve had some serious physical confrontations this world cup and with a quick turn around and the emotional roller coaster of the weekend i would say we rerally need to stay focused for this one . Lets not make the same mistake England made in 2019. Saying that ,Bokke all the way . What a fantastic team , fantastic rugby.
Why don't they play both semi finals on the same day to give both teams who win equal rest time before the final? The winners of semi final 1 will have an extra 24 hours recovery time compared to winners of semi final 2
Great episodes thanks!
The strength of the Boks is the depth of our squad, so we need to put faith in it and use it. I would make significant changes. Fourie, Esterhuizen, Am, Moody, Wiese, Faf at least. Would even think about resting some strong players we really need in the final, while having them on the bench if needed, e.g.Du Toit and Kolbe.
Been waiting for this all day Mate!
Talking about rugby IQ....you guys are in a class of your own ! thanks for the entertainment.
Excellent analysis of the situation and how we got to this point. You guys absolutely nailed it in this episode.
Between World rugby and the other teams, they were so afraid of SA being unbeatable in the scrums, the had to minimize it to help other teams
Yeah probably the real reason to call a Scrum on the 22 Mark
You guys are awesome
Ireland supports the Springboks. Nothing like having the desire to beat the old enemy. Viva les Boks.
Awesome content, thx gents.
Can’t wait! My neighbours over here are SA and despite the result respect will be shown! Mostly from me as I’ve gotta be humble in victory lol ! Go the blackness good luck to the bok!!
Great show as always...
Springboks don't ever change your style of rugby cos it's awesome.. power and pace ? Respect from 🏴
My worry is how knackered the guys are going to be - this is also the same for New Zealand. If you think of the sheer exertion is took to play Ireland and France it's staggering that any of these okes can still walk!
As much as I'd love to see a New Zealand vs SA final - I write England and the Argies off at my peril, because every team has a big game in them somewhere. (Case in point: Ask the All Blacks after the 2019 semi)
i think the coaching staff showed their hand already by sendding Pollar and Moodie to last night's presser. Pollard starts and Moodie at 13 .Last week they sent Cobus and Duane to the presser. I hope they start Ox, Kitsie was smoked, he was so tired he was joining rucks from the French side lol...
Agree gave away silly penalties
So proud. Go🇿🇦.
I think we might see more changes to the starting line up than what most will be comfortable with. But it will still be a formidable unit.
Yeah you are right. Most teams have had to play their best teams week after week. SA not so much.
5-6 changes tomorrow 9am
Sorry guys...no changes to the Bok squad
@danvillehoffman7844 Rassie simply teased everyone .."There is a temptation to...",when he knew the 23 will remain as is 🤣🤣🤣...Hopefully the boys can find the strength to deliver another big performance. The game against France were brutal.
Awesome show guys. Living in Aus but Rugby shows here are just pro Aus and NZ no impartial balance.
Keo and Zels, personally believe that NZ coach used your show as motivation, when you guys last week hammered them as not being worthy of prior players. Man did you got their tails up. So the Irish should blame you not anything else... 😅
Bokke game on the edge stuff, what worries me is the amount of physical games the English had, are they more rested? Sure Fiji is physical, and even Argentinia, but where they really as harsh as pool D and bokke QF? Even the NZ's had a bit of a warmup before Ireland. But Bokke have been running pretty much high octane, lets hope they can keep it going, as you said player management.
But if Bokke win this Cup, no one can say they had it easy.
Keep the show going guys, nice and easy
One thing I tell is that, England is scared of the Boks. They can't wish us away.
100%
Good analysis wonder if they unleash kwagga for the full 80
We need him full strength for the final. So not likely.
Fellas. What can i say to add ??
AWESOME UNDERSTANDING. THANKS 😊
Well done gents, great comments
This is a great show
Keo breath brother!!!😊
The Boks have the respect of all - including the ABs (sometimes).
Can't wait for the team announcement. Would like to see a little bit of rotation, nothing unnecessary we still need to respect England, but one or two of the guys could perhaps do with a week off or only play the last 20 while some fresh legs might make a positive impact.
Can't wait!
Thank you guys you amazing, loved the Ricky Roar today “I love these guys ‘with the horizontal stripes’” 😂😂😂😂 Go las Pumas!!!!
Honestly never cared when other countries say we play boring rugby. They hate us coz they ain't us.
Always nice to hear your insights guys, I think we will see a 6/2 split this weekend with Jasper starting at 8, agree that boks shud keep it simple, but also be unpredictable, its all about game managent, like that word game intelligence, reading the field and to make the right decision in the situation, but we have all the arsenal to play any kind of game, so i am shure we win by 10 or 12👍
Love the show boys! Ran into Zels last week - we work in the same building - thanks for the chat Zels. Please take a dig against JK and JF of the 'Breakdown" - the faces on those boys when South Africa succeed is priceless, the pain - they die inside commenting on our success....
Love how Keo and Zels offer advice to Rassie how Boks must play.
Rassie: thanks boys, honestly didnt know how we were going to beat the poms...
No, they just speculate like all off us and then enjoy the show on the field. I love the buzz in the studio.
I think announcing team selections early has really helped place the Boks at the forefront of media/pundit discussion.
I love your intro
You won me over. Keep the basic principles of Bok rugby though.
Well said🤙
@keo and zels, are you guys coming to the final?
I don’t make predictions and I like to see supporters stay humble. On Sunday I became one of those supporters I dislike. Began watching in my hotel room, then went down to the bar. There was a group of Frenchmen and others supporting them and whatever went well for the French they cheered, fair enough. But any tiny mistake by the Boks, they laughed and made a big thing of it. I shouted that they should come back and talk to me in 80 minutes (a bit bold considering the score at the time, but I was tired of their arrogant shit). After my day and a half of Spanish cuisine, I thought I’d walk over and crop-dust them a few times, just to start some infighting and “whodunnit?”
I’ll admit, we had a few calls go our way.
As far as the match against France, a team that were lauded for their defencive prowess, and in between their brilliant tactical application, the Boks were able to exploit a glaring defensive weakness and score 2 tries quickly. Then on to the semi-final, I agree with 6-2 and just manage game time. Keep it tight and feed off mistakes. Don't tinker.
That was a physically and emotionally taxing game especially for Jessie, Doogz, Eben, etc. we need our key players available and in top form to beat the ABs including Bongi. I hear you regarding giving the poms a sniff but we need to trust the depth we’ve built in the last 4 years. For what it’s worth here’s my team for the SF: 1 Ox 2 Deon 3 Vincent 4 Jean 5 RG 6 Siya 7 PSdT 8 Jasper 9 Faf 10 Handre 11 Canaan 12 Andre 13 Lucky 14 Kurt-Lee 15 Damian 16 Kitsy 17 Marco 18 Trevor 19 Sous 20 Kwagga 21 Duane 22 Manie 23 Grant, crazy I know … 😂
I agree we need to rotate. Risky though
South Africa (Spiringbokke) ❤
Did that Zel’s guy pay for that haircut......MATE!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂 great pod guys💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I agree, we shouldntshake up the team too much at this stage. I'd think of starting with Jasper with Duane on the 6-2 bench. Willie misses out.
IMHO France lost the test in the 73rd minute when Ramos took the penalty points. At that point, France were only four points down and could have kicked to the corner to push for a try to win the match - having enjoyed consistent line-out and gain-line advantage all match. They closed the deficit to one point but restart meant they played the rest of the match was played mostly in their half/22.
By contrast, the Springkboks - in th 67' and when trailing by six - turned down a simple penalty under the posts in favour of a high-risk tap penalty to take the lead.
Who dares wins.
South Africa was already dorminating the scrums , France knew they would loose the line out
Still few questions from certain journalists to Jacques about hus arrogance in speaking about the semi-final team contentions prior, and to Rassie about the exploitation of the HIA's, which wasn't needed if you are not going to state/imply it directly, but it was answered in truth which ultimately matters. Great show again 👍
Just listened to the GBR rugby pod with Haskell and Tindell and they DO NOT like the Boks or SA. OMG, they were so negative about this win.
I also just listened. It's unreal how Tindall (especially) & co go on & on & on about everything negative about SA. They don't have to support or even like SA but the tripe that comes out of their mouths is ridiculous.
They're nipping straws, hence the hysteria.
These vids are worthy of an Apple and/or Google Play podcast. I have to rip and convert to Mp3 so that i can listen in podcasts. What about it?
What we want is fear, not respect.
... 2 guys behind Mark stealing solar panels off the roof ...
I dont come here for Rico Rodriguez, I come here to hear Keo's stats knowledge and his analysis and Zels saying "Spot on" 😂
It reminds me of Reeves n Mortimer.
Hi guys I am 65year old arnold from Pretoria, very important to other rugby unions out there , in tight finishes ,the springboks are like throughbreed race horses winning in a photo finish, they are a team with no emotion n show no respect to oppositions , due or die that's the green n hold 👌👍
Play with skill, flair and brutality, be respectful, helpful and humble at all times. That's how you win admirers.
We are an English Nightmare...they can't get a proper sleep because of us...we're on their neck breathing heavily💚💛
😂😂😂
Weise should start with Duane on the bench. Weise will be eager to play, he knows the English style and at Duane's age you have to manage his minutes carefully to get the best out of him.
Kwagga ALWAYS has to be on the bench. The definition of a supersub!
Keo, you need to let Zels get a word in 😅
Keo’s rugby IQ is on another level hey!
Agreed, I will wear a muzzle on Friday
@@MARKKEOtvlove your passion and the fact that you have the knowledge as well.
Dont wear a muzzle - but would be fun to hear Zels theories as well (and have you respond to them).
More “stories” from behind the scenes please! Humanizes the mythology - and provides well received contextuals.
Love this show - my “go to” for thought provoking informed commentary.
Last - maybe invite Squidge onto the show on occasion (or Two Cents) - then sponsors may sit up and pay to watch .
When is ep30 airing?
Great online show combo. Keo's knowledge is incredible. Dont know why he gets so much shlt for his written articles.
I rewatched the game and the French didnt dominate the physicality, they just brought sufficient physicality and kept our big forwards away from the set pieces and the rucks. Their Flanks are quick and were able to keep up with the quick play they worked with. Their whole strategy was all about keeping the Bokke from set piece play. Kick into space and long kicks, quick rucks and keep to backline. It was clever and almost worked.
SA plans were equally effective where they bombed the wings with a lock and PSdT sitting among the backs. Also very clever.
Bongi had an ok game. He spilled the ball a few times and cost us points and position/posession directly. He needs to improve IMO.
Manie for the final, Pollard needs to get his act together on defense and open play.
I hope Trevor is back on teh bench. He was needed and missed
Yes, we had our own plan and when the opportunity presented we executed faultlessly. They had a defensive weakness on the left and they paid for it heavily. It was an unbelievable match to watch. Eben was massive, the 10 minute forced break he was given may even have helped us on a way.
Yes I think I watched the same game as you - Bongi, from my perspective, lacked drive and Pollard missed some easy tackles - maybe its his lack of game time.
WR... B.O.K. Smell the marketing dollars rolling in😂
Jean Kleyn, Jasper Wiese, Moodie, Lukhanyo Am, Marco Van Staden, we need some fresh legs on this weekend
I'm predicting similar changes.
I was really impressed with the way England dealt with the physicality of the flying Fijians. Geez those Fijians are wrecking cannon balls. So England will take great confidence in that and will be inspired to meet the Springboks in that aspect.
As for the Bokke, according to traditional style of play, our physicality has not been up to par. The mauls are no longer impactful. The lineouts are not as strong as they use to be. But scrum time, we can still skop n donner 😂
France may have given the English ammunition to counter the rush defense. France worked that chip over the rush and having a support player running on the shoulder to perfection. It’s a beauty to watch but can it be maintained for the full 80 is another question.
The difference between the two teams on Saturday will be tactical execution of their respective game plans.
Dealing with Fiji should give you absolutely no carry on with regards to dealing with bok physicality.... its a completely different universe 😂😂. Fiji physicality and springbok physicality is are 2 very different things ... Fiji is pretty standard to deal with for most international teams ... the boks ... not
@@africanmamba1021first go try tackle a marauding Fijian and then come back to resume this talk. Assuming you pass the HIA test 😵💫😂
Did you see Marcus Smith after the game? 🤕
Great comments guys. Ireland will never admit it but if they substituted Sexton on the 70th minute they would have won. Sexton was out on his feet and could not think to do something different when they were starring a loss in the face.
Yup, he was literally walking the last 10 min he was so tired. Not like Crowley isnt a good player. 🤷♂️
The ABs always respect the boks
Go tell that to Sir JK on the breakdown
@@xaviermurray7698one man doesn't speak for an entire team/nation
SA also have HUGE respect for ABS deffinately . Something that Ireland need to learn . Most SA fans respect Abs . ABS consistently always been the top side
100 percent yes@@garyambrosini1427
Oldest best rivalry in world rugby and with many saffas living in NZ alot support abs deffinately
Mate.... let's gooo BOKKKE
The springboks remind me of Jose Mourinho's Porto and Early Chelsea team.
Please don't taint this beautiful game.of rugby by comparing it to soccer ... soccer is a disgusting game played by muppets .
I have to say, I didn't enjoy your show when you guys tried to be too funny. But the last few have been really good and insightful. Thanks guys. Turned me into a fan now.
Boks have beaten England four times out of five in World Cups - including three at the Stade de France! Two of these four were in finals. The overall record is 27 wins out of 45 to the Boks as well. Good luck England!
Say thanks to Dobbo with his Stormers and their attacking/defensive/power scrummaging playstyle that dominated the SA front and the URC.
The bokke have been building depth for a reason, knowing that 3 of the lead up to the semi games will be extremely tough. Put together with the emotional side of things, being hard to pick oneself up to high emotional levels again in short turnaround times. Meaning they must pick a "new" team vs the team that played France, to avoid this pitfall. Any combination of the current WC squad will beat England, as long as their head space is right.
30:52 Best Part of the Episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep on being nice guys, and play us some beautiful electric rugby.!
This is the way South African rugby should be played, fast, hard, strong and elusive. In sync with them lions, cheetahs and springboks . Go the boks.
