Guys, I'm a proper rugby 'pod head,' and your weekly chat is right up there with the best. I love the relaxed and laid-back format, yet it's still incredibly informative and not limited to just one or two topics. I especially enjoy the digressions.
One of the most exciting contests within a rugby match is the scrum. At the nub of this is the front row contest. The two prop positions are technically very different. If you played as a forward, you will appreciate this and enjoy watching every scrum contest. Some supporters, and even a few backline players do not know which side the loose head, or tight head, packs down. Thanks for highlighting, and championing, the value of the props in this glorious game.
Any chance you guys can ever interview Juan Smith. That man was the real deal and I always feel he is not given his dues. Similar to Mostert but anyway, great show guys.
Jean I know that this has nothing to do with rugby but many years ago I was a press photographer and was sent to Wellington to get a pic of your dad at the pastorie, your mom arrived and put your very young sister on his desk and she pulled a face it made a lovely photograph of them both anyway years later your dad caught me at graduation day at Stellenbosch and told the baby I had photographed on the desk had just graduated.
Watched a few of the boks office episodes and you are by far leading the way in game details, experience and unbiased discussions....shim, jean and SB you 3 have such a good chemistry and jokes that keeps me hooked to this compared to the other podcasts and rugby shows. ABs supporter and listener to the boks office 💪💯
On the topic of Crowds at SA games. Schalk hit the nail on the head. "it has to be more than just rugby, it has to be an event". This came through so strongly on the Eggchasers videos on his recent trip to SA.
I love these videos. The laid back vibe is so good because it’s basically like watching three best mates having a chat - a very intelligent rugby chat.
what makes this show authentic is they just go with the flow. Beers, drywors, some snacks - oke's are so used to just waiting for kick off. Love to see it
Was chatting with a mate last weekend about how great Skalla is to listen to on TV (or UA-cam). And if you remember the first time he covered punditry on SuperSport, he didn't seem comfortable at all. He's come a hell of a long way.
I might have been not the only one to think that Rassie has planted in the Boks mind getting 18 or more Test wins in a row. I would not put it past him. Its a "side" incentive because its on. Having said that, think about the following: Two RWC's. British and Irish Lions. If we beat Argentina (which we should,) then thats another Rugby Championship. Then it's the end of year tour which IS winnable, given the state of the opposition. Then next year, including warm up Tests. Never mind the upcoming full tour series against the AB's. A hard task. But possible. My point is not that we CAN win 18 straight, but that if Rassie and the Bokke , after all they have achieved, then go on to win a third straight RWC, all if which is a beyond belief tough task, then there could be no doubt that this Bok side would be the greatest ever Rugby side in the history of Rugby, and that Rassie will be bigger than Doc Craven. And thats saying something. We better enjoy this ride while it lasts, because I've never seen anything like it in my 55 years of living and dying Bok Rugby. One game at a time, boys. One.
De Villiers is a gentleman and a scholar. Legend of the game. One is the greats. -------------- Burger was one of the best too. An absolute machine that never had a bad game. He would take on the biggest player all day. Running full speed into them. I’m a little worried about his head knocks and what that did to his mind. Hopefully he will have a long life
The opening 2 minutes busting Shimmy’s balls for “being late” sets the tone for this episode and it just keeps going … 16 minutes in and they’re just shooting the shit 🤣, compulsory viewing, nice work lads, love from Perth, Australia 🫡
Great show, but don't you want to put some ND filters on the windows? take the exterior exposure down by a couple of stops and you'd improve the pictures 100%
If the Irish move to a UK type competition, then maybe we should rebuild the Currie Cup again, open it up to all 14 unions, and then the top teams qualify for the Champions Cup. But our lower teams will need a lot of funding.
Do a BO at Camps Bay.... they play kak rugby, but you can't beat the view of the beach over the field (which explains why they excel at surfing but not ball sports... or those ball sports).
I think its great tbh, good developmental comp to blood new players while mixing in some experienced veterans to guide them, then URC as the next level to blood new boks. The French have 3 very strong divisions in their club rugby, the fan interest they generate and overall health of French rugby is what has made them so competitive internationally. If SA can continue under the structures we've built over the last 5-10 years, we'll be in a very good space for a very long time.
That's why SA wins the most world cups of any nation. Our players put their country 1st before any club...they are 100% committed to their nation than to any club. In France it's the other way around...which is why they have zero world cups and have won the 6 nations only once in over a decade.

My fav blindside
In my opinion the most underrated player of all time...he was a beast 💪
@@shakes7501 Now THAT man knew the meaning of "The BUS IS FULL" . He had a hand off better than an Italian pickpocket.
@mikezog1030 yeah and so strange that his never mentioned amongst the greats
@@shakes7501 I think of Juan Smith and Andre Venter as being giants of the game from similar eras.

Was Jean's dad a reverend?
You guys are such chilled people love it!

Genuinly the best rugby show out there. The depth of the conversation, rhe insights, and the chemestry of the guys. Wow, well done boys!
I love these videos. The laid back vibe is so good because it’s basically like watching three best mates having a chat - a very intelligent rugby chat.
Great show as always guys!
Fantastic show as always gens. ✌🏾
Great episode, great vibe
Just love this show! Good banter and seriousness mixed in with lighthearted humour. Enjoyable!👍🏉
You guys still doing great work after playing rugby 👍
Guys did you ever known that Schalk did his milestone in cricket on Newlands a game between Stormers vs the Cape Cobras 100 top scorer 🏏
I love the stories and banter.
Think you guys should keep the cameras Rollin for few minutes in introduction similar to the overlap. Enjoy the banter
This is a very enjoyable rugby ' chat show' Lekker
Ha, great show guys. Ja/Nee is a great segment. Cheers
Jean de Villiers what a gret lad
This was a lekker one guys, thanks!
THank you beast!
we here the Boks office is open
what makes this show authentic is they just go with the flow. Beers, drywors, some snacks - oke's are so used to just waiting for kick off. Love to see it
"The bloody bulls", man after my own heart
two great springbok players nothing but respect for them, from a allblack supporter
So great to watch 👏👏👍

Respect 🫡 .. great show.
if you did this show 1 day later you'd have the team selection to talk about.
Love the show!
Love the energy
In Paarl, not all heroes wear capes, some wear slops and golf shirts.
Who’s running the catering over there? Dare I ask. It always strikes me as very scarce. Feed the boys!
They get feed proper on the Hirsch's podcast.... there is endless sources of meat, wors, biltong.
Love the dopping stories 🤣🤣🤣. Bloody great show, keep it up men!
Why are dopping stories important? Alcohol is a social drug.
"thank you beast!" 😂😂😂❤
Excellent!!!!
Great show boys! Love it. Keep it up.
Excellent content as always

Wow great 🇿🇦🌟⭐☀️ great topics and consideration
love this podcast. shoutout!!!1
love this!
Scalla’s laugh is so infectious
Gotta love shimmy
Good show boys
De Villiers is a gentleman and a scholar.
Legend of the game.
One is the greats.
--------------
Burger was one of the best too.
An absolute machine that never had a bad game.
He would take on the biggest player all day. Running full speed into them.
I’m a little worried about his head knocks and what that did to his mind.
Hopefully he will have a long life
I love this podcast show .Do u guys ever go to less fortunate schools and identify promising rugby players.
The opening 2 minutes busting Shimmy’s balls for “being late” sets the tone for this episode and it just keeps going … 16 minutes in and they’re just shooting the shit 🤣, compulsory viewing, nice work lads, love from Perth, Australia 🫡
Show needs to change to filmed on Tuesdays so they can talk about the team!
Hope im wrong but these argies are on fire, they get their energy from a a similar source than we do.
Omar is a brilliant defense coach. Met him a few times
Glad to see JDV looking well after he aged 20 years since his retirement
I don’t think the Irish teams will go for this. The URC structure is better for us all.
Love your banta and stories guys.
I agree don't dilute rugby set it up as special events and everyone will look forward to the next game.
Great show, but don't you want to put some ND filters on the windows? take the exterior exposure down by a couple of stops and you'd improve the pictures 100%
Ever thought of doing the Boks Office at different schools or rugby clubs?
This is the first time seeing beer glasses not going down 🍻
Skalk ask your father when Moaner got both him and George at BoetE against Transvaal. What a punch that was!
Best 😅 rugby show
Shimi and wearing his grey jeans in this show🤞🏼
We need an African league .grow the talent in and around Africa 😊
When you recording at SACS ?
Could've mentioned the Currie Cup Semi Finals 😢
Interesting from Schalk given Snyman hasn't tried a leg with Munster
The Irfu will not agree to this without the Italian and South African teams being involved.
I remember a guy by the name of Less Kiss that helped out Alan Solomon at the Stormers
Isn't he in Australia?
You must do SACS soon
Charlize Theron and Bono. Two worst celebs to ever run into HAHAHA.
If the Irish move to a UK type competition, then maybe we should rebuild the Currie Cup again, open it up to all 14 unions, and then the top teams qualify for the Champions Cup. But our lower teams will need a lot of funding.

Nice chat boys. I watch it and the wife’s wondering why. 😂 loved it . 😜 She’s English and I’m a sout piel. That’s why ❤
I remember that game. Not sure why Jean pushed him.
What about a challenge? Sober October? For you guys.
I feel like I'm going out of my mind. Were they talking about at 8:49??
Drew Brees
@@Kid_Senekal Thank you.
Didn't the premiership want the URC teams except SA and Italy (that will include Scotland and Wales)?
They did. A case of wait and see for us.
With the talent coming through from Currie Cup why don't we send the top 3 or4 teams to the Super Rugby
Good rugby player
Super cool episode! Let us know what you make of the RugbyHubs latest Preview? 🏉
Currie Cup is no longer premier rugby in SA. Second division rugby.
I think its great tbh, good developmental comp to blood new players while mixing in some experienced veterans to guide them, then URC as the next level to blood new boks. The French have 3 very strong divisions in their club rugby, the fan interest they generate and overall health of French rugby is what has made them so competitive internationally. If SA can continue under the structures we've built over the last 5-10 years, we'll be in a very good space for a very long time.
J dV was “too shy” lol 😜
That's why SA wins the most world cups of any nation. Our players put their country 1st before any club...they are 100% committed to their nation than to any club. In France it's the other way around...which is why they have zero world cups and have won the 6 nations only once in over a decade.
is there a clip of when JD "saved the guys life"
Also borges what a player... key for the 2007 world cup puma run for 3rd place.
Afrikaburn Boks Office special 😄
Ja or nee finished me
Julle is weer top op die game. Schalk ek sê nou nog my coach het gejok in Kippies Windhoek, jy kon my brandewyn drink en ek sou net help😂😂
Is anybody going to have those beers?
Jeepers, you guys went on drinking and we the fools wondered why u lost so often! Wile we were shouting our lungs out

Why is Jean on his phone the whole time?
Hi Guys. Why, can't I watch chasing the sun 2 op rugbypass in SA?
Most likely because Super Sport has the rights to it. VPN to the UK or similar
Only episode one of season 2 is available.
It was only available free for one day unfortunately, Friday the 13th last week. It's now back behind the RugbyPass paywall.
@@Mad_Intellect I live in the UK and it’s 100% all available and free on the RugbyPass app
