To everyone saying "England deserved to beat South Africa as they were better on the day". lets take a few things into consideration shall we? South Africa, after playing 7 weeks of high intensity rugby, facing the giants of NZ, Tonga, Scotland, Ireland and France, faced an English team who had the mildest of run ups to these semis, who played arguably their best rugby this year against as seemingly tired Springbok team, who played at 55% of their full capacity and still managed to come out tops on pure grit and determination. It speaks more about the Sringboks as it does the Roses...

Someone finally said it😂
Yeah yeah, blame it all on stuff that has zero relevance. These players are there to play and do exactly what they've done. You saying "after playing 7 weeks of high intensity rugby" all teams do this, year in year out. Stop trying to glorify your team. You're gonna get smashed by the All Blacks. Pipe down with the Ego
Bok naai!! Kry vir julle.
I love how we played "boring" rugby in 2019, but when England steal the blueprint its a majestic performance
I know right 🤨
England never gets that kind of praise

Still gives me goosebumps this reel.watched this game alone at a lodge in luanshya zambia.they couldnt understand me when i asked for the channel to be tuned on rugby .i dont blame them. Spent 27 years of my life in Capetown. My neighbor david . .in parow north introduced me to this game as a young zambian coming to uwc .and unisa.
So here iam back home in zambia .green and gold blood flowing through me .springbok inspires me in so many ways .heart tenacity passion belief .God bless south Africa. Country i love with all my heart .country that has formed me as a person in so many ways .country were my 2 girls were born

I'm crying. So beautiful. SA sends its love❤
The eruption from the crowd, as the final whistle blows... bone chilling.
This game was actually a great display of South African composure. We were trailing for 77:21 minutes. Not once did it look like they were giving up. In fact they were fighting harder with each passing minute. In the final minutes, after they took the lead, they kept cool heads. Played disciplined rugby. This is why, even though we were behind the entire game, i didn't lose hope for a single second. I just had a feeling the boys will have it in them. They never disappoint.
A great display of South African tin arseness more like it. Tin arses are a South African specialty. They never do anything in style
Facts bro, I knew it all along 😮😂
Basically only had to play 3mins to win the game
We don't grow up spoonfed
@@sakabula2357 Sure you don't Sucker.
Sorry England. Never get cocky before the final whistle. The Bokke showed true heart and determination to take this win. Well Done Springboks.

@@johnegan9521 kudos to England and in particular the coaching staff. The coaches were out to make it a real nightmare for SA and that's exactly what happened. The players executed the game plan perfectly as well. Not many teams can take SA out of their comfort zone

That defense in the last few minutes - the Bokkies desperately trying to keep Farrell and Ford away from drop goal range. They were actually pushing them back too.
They did!

He did it against France too. What a player.🙌
Never knew that being a nuisance in the field would be a skill set until faf graced the field😅
Apparently defense is no longer a skill, because i'm being told that SA only won through "luck". Sure the SA attack was useless for the most part, but their defense was ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!! You try and defend the way they did for 80 minutes.
It was their will, their refusal to give up and their defense that won SA the game... not "LUCK"!
Typical of them, Bok defense was so bad that it prevented them from scoring even one try!
Totally agree with u here this had nothing to do with " luck" at all as many put it that way , yes I agree this might have been one of their unsatisfactory matches they ever played but I took comfort in the fact that "English breakfast" 🤣🤣couldn't defeat the Boks even in their worst. Now continue crying cry babies😅
That and the referee.
@@Dragonceratops When theres 1 point in it then it really could have been anyone's game. It was razor close and well done to South Africa. Such games are won and lost on fine margins. If the roles were reversed the losing team would be the same
@@Dragonceratopskeep crying
Watching with my son, both of us standing, shouting at the TV, hearts pounding. Final whistle, him jumping into arms, and holding me so tight 😊... a memory to last a lifetime
This is South Africa - a fighting spirit and victory mindset!🥳

If Handre gets any cooler, he'll freeze to death.
And the massive pair of nuts swinging between his legs
Congratulations SA - from an England supporter. A brutal game - the physicality from both teams was spectacular - and it really could have gone either way. However, SA’s try just showed they had the edge needed to win big,tight games. Good luck in the final.
Any idea who the lead commentator was
Good on you mate - great game, lot of respect between those sides and for that England performance.
Handre Polllard displayed leadership, motivation and resilience in this game not forgetting his skill and power! So proud of you brother. The real MVP 💚💚
Absolutely, also won the French quarter final with his boot.
@@roba2k2and now the final.
That's what I observed maself too coz the team morale was @ its lowest he came to the rescue.
Yeah his look in his eyes was like “I can’t be the only one who wants this!!!!!” Our captain let me down a lil because you lead by example and if you’ve checked out the rest of the team will Buuuuttt he stepped up in the end.
when they whistle the penalty, Faf and all the Boks celebrating because they knew that the goat was not going to miss, what a finish, what class Pollard
Kitshoff at the end there looks so astounded as to how we pulled that miracle off.
He just like me foreal.
Yeah!! That was my face too 😅😂
Weren't we all 😁
Even on this REPLAY I can't bear to watch the last 2 minutes, my heart wants to explode from the tension 😅
Yeah, I am a kiwi, and I was nervous, don't know why! Anyway the ref made the right call, English forward had a knee on the ground and you could clearly see the opposite side the SA forwards were trying to push straight
@@nigelmcculloch3746 as a Saffa I had the same feeling watching Ireland vs NZ...I was holding my breath more and more with each of those last 37 tackles! Good luck in the final mate! (not too much though haha)
You and me both! 😅 I just watched it again now, and could hardly take it. What a class finish by the Boks 👏
I had no expectations from the Boks this WC, but they keep on delivering! Toughest run in a WC ever, but their mental fortitude seems on top form! Come on BOKKE!!!
OH come on they are the world championships u know
I thought the Northern hemisphere teams are terrible according to the SH fans, so how is it a hard run?

The crowd's reaction when the penalty was awarded, and then when Pollard's kick went over. And then the final whistle cheer. WOW!
I can only imagine what it would have been like to be there! must have been incredible

Feels like an away game. SAers scattered in the stadium but in solidarity
Dear god what a stressful game. Had fully prepared myself for us to go home.

"England at their best, couldn't beat SA at their worst" - I think that sums up everything. lekka boks!

@@smokemeakipper1076But England still lost. Rugby is 80 min. Thank you.
@@deenshabier7204 Yes they lost. But did much better than anyone expected and 'shut down' SA for 75 minutes which even France couldn't do. A lot of positives taken from that game going forward.
😂 lmao we were not even playing at 20% and you guys think you played well. We were cruising the whole time. Cause we only put effort when the teams is worth it. U guys were playing with yourselves while we just stopped u doing much damage. Then when u were tired playing against yourselves we saw the time and woke the beast to win.
The Springboks fought every square inch in this 80-minute, great game by the Bokkies, who are the undefeatable. Whether they brought home the trophy or not, they had achieved way higher than the trophy,, they had UNITED THE BROKEN NATION. Everyone in SA is behind their boys. With this team, a history is made. I don't know much about Rugby as a sport, but I felt every push, kick, jump, crash, clash, and injury. Wow wow wow. I think I need to find a hot spot to watch the final here in Jozi. This is an insane clash of giants. Well done boyyyyyyyys!
Please stop saying they united a nation. All national teams have their own fans backing them. In 1995, 2007 and 2019 it was supposed to unite a nation and after those world cups the country kept getting worse and that meaning of uniting a nation meant nothing. And before you @ me. I am South African.
Casual
how come undefeatable lost to ireland
it shows that you dont know much about rugby and being humble
@@vonlane3678 i prefer league running rugby games not decided by penalty calls
I am a South Africa & All Blacks Fan , may the best team win this Weekend All the best to both teams , greetings from Papua New Guinea
For me, the turning point of the match was when Handre Pollard made that beautiful kick near the England's try line.
It was when England lost two line outs in the South Africa 22
We wouldn't be that close without the try, though
1:11 this is why South Africa won😂😂😂
For me, the turning point was England bringing on Kyle Sinckler who is a terrible scrummager, South Africa basically got back into the match/won the match through scrum penalties.
@@PoorToiletlessIndianshe was under pressure to deliver a descent return.couldnt handle the pressure 🤭🤭🤭
The match was incredibly tense and exciting all at the same time. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and my heart was racing. The English had a good game plan and were in control for most of the match, but the Springboks never gave up. Pollard's penalty to give South Africa the lead for the first time was a huge moment in the match, and the Springboks went on to win the game. It was an amazing performance by our boys, and they deserve all the credit.
Wow it's almost like you watched the game
Sounds like AI generated
It was like a thriller movie...
It was extremely similar to the Wales v South Africa semi final in 2019.
It was 16 - 16 at 74 minutes. Wales were attacking. Just outside the South Africa 22. Wales were on top. The referee then gave a very harsh penalty against Wales in the ruck. South Africa kicked to our half. Took the line out. Maul. Penalty in 76th minute. Pollard took the kick. That was that.
so you have the lead and the ball with less than 5minutes....so of course you aimlessly kick the ball in the air..stupidest thing anyone ever did in an england shirt
I can’t watch final tonight, watching these highlights a week later STILL has me on edge with my heart in my throat until the last whistle
New Zealand or South Africa has won every World Cup since 2007 !
To be the best you have to beat the best. :D

I have watched rugby intently throughout my fifty-seven years...
A fervent supporter...
Noble in defeat...
(I've had to be...
"The Sharks" taught me well...)
My Welsh husband never fails to ask my forecast for an upcoming Springbok game...
(This man proudly wears his "Bok Trui" every Friday and every game day except if Wales are playing the Boks...)
I had said
low scoring
close game
stop start
scrappy...
(His Welsh brother in Cwmbran had said that the Boks would win by a country mile...)
The reason behind my words was the "hype" of the week preceeding the game...
So far this week there is a sense of calm...an acceptance by both teams playing in the final that the inevitable outcome will be whatever it may be and talking about it will simply not affect the outcome...
I prefer it this way...
🇿🇦💚🏉
Cringe
@@brutallyremastered4255 jou ma se poes is cringe
It wasn't the hype of the preceding week, although that may have contributed a little. The exact same team played an insanely bruising game against the French 1 week prior to this game. I'm pretty sure they were all still recovering when they walked onto the pitch. The English played a mediocre Fiji side the week previously and still were not good enough to score a try against us. If they did away with pools and (like the world cup cricket) played each each nation once, the English would not have made the semis. Just like the world cup cricket. Watching the whinging English lose gives me more joy than anything else on the planet and I'm proud of our boys that destroyed their hopes in two world cups in a single day.

No one mentioned that a wet pitch is always difficult for the Boks, we're just not used to it. If the conditions on Saturday are the same, the Kiwi's have a massive advantage.
they already have - far less strenuous game time.
To go with their superior rugby playing skills.
I still get stressed out watching this despite knowing the outcome

FIFA posts extended highlights of the games minutes after the final whistle. Actually, they are better at it.
Congratulations to England management on a clear gameplan of stopping SA implementing theirs. The Boks were lost for a long time with no answer and no forward plan. The last 10 minutes were really all that stood out, and a stressful 10 minutes it was. Well done bokke - we need 1 more win!
It seems England was lost too. They didn’t even score one try…😂
Yes congratulations to England for, um... losing.

@@nowweknow754 Right game for the conditions and the Boks thought so too!
Ye congrats to England for just continuing to kick the ball out. A horrible game compared to the previous quarter finals
England Fan. Was a great game; thought we played as well as we could have (following a few games when that could not have been said) and went out with heads held high. Gonna be an excellent final. Everyone's seriously gotta lighten up!
Well said! You guys made a MASSIVE recovery from a few months ago. England getting to the semi-finals made alot of Irish supporters very salty after they wrote you guys off for this WC!
Played well, playing like we did last time. Now its good rugby. When we did it we were boring to watch.
My heart is still racing even though I know what happened 😂 I think the last two weeks ruined rugby for me forever

THE ART OF WAR
In the art of rugby war, much like warriors enduring a tempest's fury, the Springbok rugby team's unwavering resolve mirrored the wisdom of Sun Tzu. As the master strategist eloquently put it, "In war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak." Hidden in plain sight the Springbok scrum manifested this principle, a silent powerhouse, ready to seize victory when the moment was ripe.
In the midst of the game's intense clashes, England may have claimed fleeting victories, but as Sun Tzu wisely observed, triumphs in individual battles don't assure triumph in the war. Indeed England may have won the on-field battles, but, as Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom reminds us, victory in battle doesn't guarantee success in the war.
The Springboks, akin to seasoned generals, exercised patience. In the game's dwindling moments, they seized the strategic vantage point with their scrum. They made substitutions, ceded territory, and fortified their scrum, ultimately clinching the war even when it appeared that England had triumphed in the battle on the field. It was then that England realized they had secured the battle but lost the war.
In rugby, much like in war, the final score unveils the indomitable spirit, the very essence of the team that conquers...........................................................................................................................the Match.
Now I want to read the Art of War
@@Kamogelo_PhDYou should read it, its a great book with lots of advice about life and how to endure it! 🙂

I dragged my mates to the pub to watch this and even though they know nothing about rugby they soon were on there feet for everything and were just as gutted when the final whistle went but most were in awe at the sheer excitement of the game. Honestly both teams put on a show which and although England didn’t get the result I can’t dwell on it because at the end of the day it’s just a game but what a game it is.

This is why you never stop watching live sport - anything can happen, especially in the final minutes. England so deserved to win, but it was snatched away by the brilliance of the Springboks.
England were in control of the kicking game, the loose game, the weather, the scrums( only up to a point) very good and excellent play. The bokke only controlled the score😂

Thats all you need to do to win
and the defence oh and the bench...GO BOKS!
I reckon the 1995 semi at Durban was similarly dramatic in the pouring Durban rain, France almost pulling it off in the funal seconds but SA hanging in

The idea that "England lost" rather than *South Africa won" is rather silly. There was no fluke about this. The coaches adjusted the team during the game and changed what they needed to start controlling the game, leading to the only try of the game and dominant scrum late on. South Africa were deserved winners of this Semi. All credit to England for pushing it close.
That last scrum penalty could have gone either way. So it was lucky.
100% spot on.
@@smokemeakipper1076how? It was england continuesly messing up the scums late game to the point it was long passed being cardable but the ref was nice enough to england for a verrrrrry long time.
@@shintenkai1648 Even the Aussie commentator said it was a tough call. Ref saved you from going home. You should thank him.
There's no luck about this. Luck does not have a pattern to it.
The Boks clearly have a blueprint for saving the game.
They introduce a strong forwards to dominate the scrum and a great kicker to finish the game. Then comes the kick to the corner with razor sharp precision and accuracy and then they grind for a scrum, avoid making errors and let the opposition concede a penalty. Then the Kicker does what they do best!
Simple!
Springboks were not sure how to get tries in the first half but everyone knew that they had to defend big time until a plan came through. Defense is crucial when nothing works.🇿🇦
OX Nche outdid himself on those scrums

I could watch this clip over and over again, each time I watch we are winning🥰
Hats off to Handre Pollard!!
The truth is that I will be a gutted bok supporter if we lose the final, but losing to the mighty All Blacks is not something we will need to feel ashamed about. As an armchair observer it seems like the boks might have already emptied their tank with those tough games against Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, France and even the Poms were a tough opponent, the AB's have only had 2 tough games and could very well have more energy than the boks in the final. Hoping that Jacques and Rassie can pull a few tricks out the hat for this one.
Finally a big thanks to Jacques from bok supporters for the role you played in giving us something to be proud of again and all the best for your new venture in Ireland, it's going to be hard for us if you end up coaching another team against the boks though, but somehow it sort of feels inevitable.
been watching this every day, several times a day, since that day! Go Bokke!
And they said, 'It will be a Northern hemisphere final.' And that, "Ireland is world number 1." How dare they count South Africa and New Zealand out? We ARE rugby!

Sure was.
I've been thinking that Handre Pollard must absolutely teach us what he thinks , or what he does not think,
about in those moments before he makes those kicks -- maybe put it in a book or video--- and sell it , and make millions , lol 😊
I just watched this again after watching Chasing the Sun 2. Pure gold! Bongi you made me tear up from the now famous changing room scene!
So many key momens making this game, but that scrum at 76:00 was amazing. Gotta thank who ever fed Ox Nche, cause he's a beast.
We need fan parks in hospital premises for the finals. I almost died here

The look on the SA team after he got the penalty, the look of disbelief that they were in the lead.
Champions are just built differently ❤
Man I still get some shivers watching this highlights,the Boks had us by the ball's there, congratulations to our beloved south African team❤
In the first half Franco Mostert was on his way to the try line but were tackled by an English player without using his arms
England got only 3 points in the second half while SA got 10 points. So, how good was England really after halftime?
You make a good point here! England also had the ball for 25-30 minutes of the 2nd half versus the Saffas which had it for 10 minutes
@@nadineharley5744 England was pretty much ineffectual after half time. The SA coaches and team made adjustments based on their strategic disadvantage in the first half.
Funny how England tried to run and move the ball around urgently when they were out of time, but it was desperate and not clinical. They need to raise their game tempo so that when the moment arises, they can play at a breakneck speed with fluidity and skill.
The English reap what they sow
What? One of the largest empires the world has ever seen, I’ll take that 👌

Ama bhokobhoko never disappoints😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wat a great game i had to record it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watched the Game again,England was dominating most of the match but RSA has one of the best defence in the world, to me this game was almost similar to the NZ and Ireland match.. Ireland was dominant against NZ but they lost too
Sorry, but I disagree. NZ was on top of Ireland throughout the whole 80mins of their quarter final match. We saw a mentally defeated Irish team. It took the history of Irish quarter final disappointments to make them fall short. But nonetheless they've had a very dominant series till the last pool match of rwc23.
@@eliteconvintagerugbyreviva2065 Agree NZ lead the whole way
Springsboks in this word cup are the True champions
Without a doubt. Went to France and dominated.
It was a fair result. England simply did not let anyone play and South Africa wanted to play and they achieved the fair regard with a try. And yes, was a good thrilling end of a semifinal
It could be said and it has been said that SA use the scrum as a weapon to 'gain penalties' when really it should be a tool just to reconvene the game. The rules should change that you can only be freekicks for scrum infringements.
@@hermandobernardes722that we de-value tge role of forwards. The true solution is to reduce the points from penalties. Englands display was negative. They did not even try to score a try. Penalties and drop goals. They must give more points for tries and less for penalties. Ireland vs SA, the Ireland scrum was more dominant and noone complained.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
@@hermandobernardes722 OMG! maybe other teams the play rugby UNION should maybe learn how to scrum.
The reason there was only one "meh" try in the entire game was because both teams had doubled-down their defensive strategies. It was a defensive game and was never going to be high-scoring with both teams flexing their defensive strategies for the win. That meant one thing - It was going to be a close/tight fought game. Look at Ireland and France - Arguably two of the three most exciting teams going forward. Both have generally good defences (usually) to boot, but when you attack you're more likely to expose yourself. France and Ireland exposed their respective underbellies and paid the price - Neither team on Saturday wanted to expose themselves. England rightly so - It was all about minimising one-another's chances first then trying to engineer something....anything....outside of that initial plan to keep the opposition out. Boring game? Perhaps. Tactically fascinating? You betya!
The wet weather meant it was never going to be a free-flowing game. England played to the conditions for the whole game. South Africa took a while to adjust. Keep the ball in hand, short passes. Keep it in the opposition's half. Kick all points on offer.
I've watched this too many times. GO BOKKE!!!
England did have the few minutes for a drop goal didn't they?😂
Eish bra... its not funny.. we could have lost... 😅😢
Drama, thriller, or whatever you may call it, up to the very last split second!! Still get some goosebumps watching those final minutes. One to be remembered for a long time.
Something special is brewing in this Springboks team
That couch/manager hitting the other in happiness 🤣🤣 made my day that has. Farrell to me was a little disrespectful. (Don’t all jump on me at once) Can’t be nice ending like that. They played really well
England had the easiest group but still made a meal of that, they were lucky to even get to the semi’s
So proud… never say die… OUR BOKKE❤️🇿🇦❤️
Que partido emotivo. Hermoso espectáculo. Felicitaciones a ambos!!
My nerves are still shot days later, but what a great passage of discipline from the Bokke. What a win! Amazing
It was like a 12 round boxung match. All even after 11 and then winning the last round clearly. England landing many jabs and racking up.the points whilst the Boks scored a knockdown to edge the fight.
That's cricket Harry.
Thanks for this World Rugby! Amazing to relive this again, thank you Springboks!!!
One thing about our SA Rugby team, they will play their hearts out till the last whistle blows and you will feel it through your tv screen
