@@barneyboy2008 You think Rassie, the man who played 49 players this year, doesn’t trust everyone? Use your brain. In any case, Rassie obviously trusts Lukhanyo Am to play 13.
PSTD has 4 man of the match awards for this championship 🏆 out of 5 played. 1 against Wales and 1 against Ireland. Totally 6/8 games he played for the Boks. He is my player of the tournament and even player of the year. OX second and Kolbe third.
The only comment on this is that he is the one forward who consistently plays every minute in a forward dominant team, but that also shows that he can keep that intensity for the full 80+ minutes so not a criticism at all. It would be interesting if Ox went the full 80 as well, they're probably the 2 most dominant players in the game. Glad we have both in SA though
@@Brendan_M_What makes this even more incredible is that he is playing with that intensity with a ligament in his knee that is 60 years old. His dad acted as a donor for him in his one knee operation so that he could recover quicker.
Don't forget about the his performance in the 2nd series test against Ireland. He played an Oscar winning performance for throwing his toys out of the pram for that one. Amazing acting. Shout out to Kolbe too for his acting skills
@@PB22559 I would have agree with you until DSTV provided all this ankle of the last event. So no acting, but we accept the lose because Ireland was the better team on the day.
Then you went and did Jessie dirty, 😭 I see what you doing trying to find places for players from other teams but even Ben Young's said he probably put all 15 players from South Africa and there is a case to be made. He sounded take 💩 for saying it but you can't argue, Fasi at 15, Marx at 2 Nortje was amazing at 5 Wiese played outstanding although not enough games, Kurt Lee is like Kolbe little brother no scrumhalf really outplayed Reinach or Williams and I thought Henrikse was amazing yesterday his tempo is unreal id start him in the Autumn
Ox Nche Rugby World Player of the year? It's high time players like him starting getting their...props. I'll be here all night ladies and gentlemen 👈😎👉
I used to dislike De Allende for hardly ever letting the ball leave his hands to whoever was at 13, but I've come to appreciate his all-round game and decision-making. His defence is outstanding and he's found some proper attacking mojo. He will be very difficult to replace. Also, pleased to see Ox being recognised.
How do you lift Willemse out at his best hahaha but I agree Fasi did cement his claim to be more than good enough ...but then u have Willemse and Shasha ..eish lobly times 😂

@@KarateGucciI think PSDT should win it, but Ox definitely needs to be one of the nominees, I don’t think a prop has ever been nominated before, so that would be pretty big.

If they came to South Africa, it would be without their most "star" players probably, because of how long the TOP 14 season is. And they thus probably would get a hiding. So I'm not sure they're too keen on doing it ^^". Plus I'm not sure that would generate enough revenues for the French to justify the trip...
As a South African, I felt that Jessie Kriel should have been included, but have to agree that Argentina definitely deserve a nod. Their season so far has been eye opening (and for Springbok fans, eye watering 😅)
Hi Tim! Thank you for adding even MORE fun to our rugby infested lives! It was proper rugby chaos here in SA with this game! And yes, Rassie thinks about the little things like making sure that Eben gets his 128th, as we lift the Championship Cup. We're a sentimental bunch! BTW, It would just be so much easier for you to just move South Africa now. It' will save you a boatload of travelling money. Besides you've now had a proper taste of our wild life, our rugby 'wildlife', our red meat and our Brandy. And YES, let's get OX nominated for World Player of the Year.! What a GREAT suggestion! Hope to see you back in SA soon. CHEERS FROM A VERY HAPPY SA!
I can’t disagree with Ox Nche, absolute bloody weapon and agree it would be fitting for a prop to win WPotY especially when you consider how dominant he has been and without him you could argue boks don’t win the RWC SF and consequently the RWC …
Ox Nche winning world player of the year would give "Sir" John Kirwan a stroke. Then again, it would give World Rugby themselves a stroke as well, so not happening.
ADP will win world player of the year. His Frech and an olympic medalist now. No way he isn't winning it. Does he deserve it? Well that's up for debate I suppose
All the more reason to make it happen!!! Salads don't win scrums. Let him eat cake. Ox is the best beast! Would be priceless to see the reactions of Kirwhine & Bully Beaumont (amongst others) 😂😂👏👌💪📿🚑🚨
The ABs are rebuilding and I pretty much agree with your choices. South Africa are the team to beat. Codie Taylor is our best in form player currently and I’m excited about Sititi, Ratima, Caleb Clark and Will Jordan. Also pleased with progress of our new locks.
My pick for 10 would still have been Pollard. He is consistent and steady, with the big match temperament that can handle any amount of pressure put on him. He is without a doubt the best flyhalf South Africa has had to date. No disrespect to Sasha FM, because he is very talented and has great potential, but he very young and inexperienced still, and is yet to be tested to see if he can show up when the chips are down.
Eish i guess you did not watch the game we lost to Argentina, go re watch the game, 3 of argentinas tries were Pollard not making straight forward tackles and tries being scored, he is a magnificent kicker, but know where near on the rest of play
PSDT without a doubt the best player in the world now. To think there's still Ox, Eben, Kolbe and Marx (etc.) of SA to consider is really unreal! Wish to see all these players in next RWC and them getting 100 tests and Eben 150!
I love Marx but I’m also glad you have Codie Taylor a spot cause that guy was unreal in this tournament. Guy that size has no business being able to step like that.
I agree with Ox Nche - for his dominant one-on-one scrum dominance. But, even Ox will know how important Frans Malherbe's constant achoring is for the Boks scrum, on the other side - not to mention Eben, PSDT and Siya's power behind them

Tim I love your insightful reflections, ability to be honest, and the fact that you can truly enjoy the spirit of rugby that goes beyond one side (including your own), to what is just magical in a player or game! 👏
Awesome Tim. Been following your channel since you had 60/70k odd followers at the start of the World Cup last year, and so good to see you sitting at 115k as of today. Love your channel and how you bring the game to the people! Not too mention your absolute passion for the sport - unbiased and so open to new territories. The fact that you embraced South Africa and got right into the nuts and bolts of the country is amazing! As a VERY proud South African living in Dubai, I'm proud to share your channel and story. Gives me goosebumps every time. Educational and passionate!
Pretty sure no prop has ever even been nominated, let alone won WPOTY. In 2020 there had been 101 players nominated which would make for some pretty decent squads except you wouldn't have any scrummages, not even unopposed. This year PSDT would get my vote though. Also, Kolbe should have another stat - how many times does the second tackler get him? If he beats 1 he typically beats 3-4, it is part of why he makes defenders look stupid.
Thanks for great commentary. I feel very privileged as a Springbok supporter to be able to enjoy the great performances of a team that surely represents a golden age for our rugby. So many varied contributions to the team effort and a lot of excellence on show. Agree with your nominees and hope that some justice is done to the front row
I'd be happy for either Ox, PSDT or Kolbe getting it tbh. Don't see them giving it to Ox even though he so deserves it. PSDT seems the most likely player
Ox. 100 percent pure beef. I see one commentator says it would give (Sir) JK a heart attack. "And the World Rugby Award for Grumpiest Old Man of the Year goes to no none other than Sir JK! And here, to present him with the award, is the winner of the Coach of the Year and also the Coach of the Century Award. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together and lift your brannas glasses for the one and only Doctor Rassie, the Rebel Erasmus!"
PSDT World Player of the Year. This Man is massive on the Pitch. One of the main pillars in the Boks World Cup triumph. He has the Heart of an African Lion. Fearless!! OX,Kolbe have been good as well. But PSDT stands above them all.
Love it! Don’t forget how incredible Oxs ball in hand play is. He is the unsung hero for the connection between forwards and backs. He also stands in as the rush defender when Kriel is on the other side of the pitch.

It's been fantastic watching players like Eben,Ox, Damian, PSDT, and Jesse grow as rugby players over the years. Rassie and his team have got the best out of these guys. My players for top honours - Ox, Pieter- Steph, and Eben. Love your channel, Tim. Keep up the excellent work. My wife's watching it, too, which is cool.
Although Ox has been amazing, PSDT has had a blinder and played more minutes than Ox. Defense, attack up close or out wide, playing multiple positions he has done it and done it like a machine. Would fully deserve the award.
The rugby Andre Esterhuizen just played in the Currie Cup puts him yards ahead of Am. You have to feel for the guy. His meters per carry are incredible.
Thanks, Tim. Agree. Tournament highlight for me: the dynamic play of Sititi and Taylor and Vaa'i and Will Jordan for the AB's. For RSA, yes there were great individual performers - but my highlight has been the cohesive team-play, a previous shortcoming, making the Boks very hard to beat. Argies: good on you.
Spot on with your 1 2 3 Tim. It's not just about Ox's immense scrummaging prowess. It's also his overall work-rate, tackles, carries and distribution. Without doubt should be rugby player of the year!
Pieter-Steph Du Toit comes from a small town in SA called Malmesbury and his nickname is therefore amongst us South Africans , the Malmesbury Missile. Ox Nche is also believes that no one can scrum on salads alone and therefore has no qualms about indulging his love for chocolate cake! Thanks Tim for your team.
Sky News NZ Break Down has a 50 minute show with no mention of Boks winning TRC. Sour grapes much? No wonder your channel is growing Tim. Good on you mate!
Kiwis are poor losers. Watch the immediate post 2023 RWC match interviews: not one All Black complimented or congratulated the Springboks. It was appalling. They just cried about the being hard done by the officials

100%. Looking forward to the MVP of the year
Crossing all my fingers and toes for Ox to have a fantastic November tour
LOVE WATCHIN UR

The rugby Andre Esterhuizen just played in the Currie Cup puts him yards ahead of Am. You have to feel for the guy. His meters per carry are incredible.
Love your passion. From South Africa
Great choices, Tim!!! Imagine this team playing the Lions at a neutral venue!! Cmaan World Rugby!! This would be amazing!!!
Tim van de Merwe
Thanks, Tim. Agree. Tournament highlight for me: the dynamic play of Sititi and Taylor and Vaa'i and Will Jordan for the AB's. For RSA, yes there were great individual performers - but my highlight has been the cohesive team-play, a previous shortcoming, making the Boks very hard to beat. Argies: good on you.
Great call for Ox 👏
Pressed play and already HIT the LIKE button! ☺☺
Pieter-Steph du Toit....superb! Non-stop!
Gotta disagree for player of the year. MUST be PSTD he is a machine look at his work rate. His takling.,outright play nuf said.
Spot on with your 1 2 3 Tim. It's not just about Ox's immense scrummaging prowess. It's also his overall work-rate, tackles, carries and distribution. Without doubt should be rugby player of the year!
I’d probably agree with you Tim. Maybe Pollard at 10. Can’t go into a tournament without the class of Pollard. But Sasha is our future
Pieter-Steph Du Toit comes from a small town in SA called Malmesbury and his nickname is therefore amongst us South Africans , the Malmesbury Missile. Ox Nche is also believes that no one can scrum on salads alone and therefore has no qualms about indulging his love for chocolate cake! Thanks Tim for your team.
If Ox plays, you start the game 6-12 points behind. And he does it in 45mins. Most valuable player in the world bar none
Brilliant view and very respectful and honest deliberation of player's ethics and honour due. Thank you for that and keep up the good work.
World player of the year, definitely Pieter Steph du Toit !!!
Thank you for your wonderful insight and the fact that you love South Africa. You are welcome in my country anytime!
Sky News NZ Break Down has a 50 minute show with no mention of Boks winning TRC. Sour grapes much? No wonder your channel is growing Tim. Good on you mate!
Viva Tim
Kiwis are poor losers. Watch the immediate post 2023 RWC match interviews: not one All Black complimented or congratulated the Springboks. It was appalling. They just cried about the being hard done by the officials
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 South Africans are so insecure they need everyone in the rugby world to bow down to them, continuously talk about them and just agree they are the greatest of all time and no one else even comes close hahahaha
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 er I 'm not sure what you were watching.....
NZ rugby show, why would they talk about the Boks when they're a NZ show? 🥱
Sour grapes cry baby much 😂
Absolutely SPOT ON!
I am an AB fan, but you nailed the XV for sure.
Ox for world player of the year
