Antoine Dupont is a marvel to watch. What a player. Commiserations to France. Well done to my boys, the mighty Bokke. Incredible game. Incredible intensity. Against all odds.
Hello Bokkes, as a french fan I can only admire your determination during this game. Congratulations your victory is deserved and not stolen! The level between the two teams was very balanced, it was an awesome game of rugby. Probably the best ive seen.
I think there are a lot of questionnable decisions made by the referee but I want to stay worthy in the defeat. May the better team win the world cup, enjoy the rest of the competition in our beloved country and let's all appreciate a little bit more these amazing final phases!
Thank you so much for your humble comment. I agree the ref was terrible. Some against France and some against SA.
You guys are the best team in Europe by a country mile. Ireland are good but the French are next level at the moment. It could very well have been us losing last night. Thank you for having us in your beautiful country ☺
@etiennebral1, Thank you so much for the kind words, I love the French team and it's a hard pill to swollow when one of our loved teams lose. Your country is amazing. Stay true to yourself
Not the best team in the world though. @@markdanielleanderson4323

@@Bonginhlanhla Correct thank you ☺ 👍
Damn 💔 even the best era of the North still fall short to the great rugby giants of the South
Well said!!! They over-rate themselves and they whine and complain as if they have been Champion teams for years....At least try to win the world cup first yes!!?.... northerners???
Look at Argentina now. They're playing in the championship and has improved to get to the semi's. B4 the tournament they were saying the northern hemisphere teams are going to be too strong for the SH. Look at where they are now. They've got only England left to represent them in the semi finals.
@@nahaaniimataallike in 1995... SA steal it
@@nt-rs7yi Whatever that was, true or false, is not relevant because the
ALL BLACKS Was, Is and Always will be the benchmark for teams in world rugby. And top it off with
3 World Cups, and winning their last 2 back to back!!!!! And can potentially win this World Cup also.
Now.... shhhhhhh....
@@hestonhutaue1214Argentina was on the easiest Pool
when rassie complained about the ref....the whole world were up in arms...."How dare he criticize the ref?" now the shoe is on the other foot. I have no sympathy
i have a problem with the ref and ive literally never been bothered by officiating, Okeefe was terrible, the French attack was scintillating, there only stumbling block was Okeefe
Exactly! For once the Boks got the rub of the green. Funny enough, this continued through the semis and the final. I remember the last moments of the final thinking surely the ABs cannot do this to us again, referring to so many test matches when the Boks were leading with 2 minutes to go and ended up losing. Winning a 4th world cup makes some of that pain go away
Well, aren't we lucky to have a captain like Kolisi. Humble in victory and defeat.
What defeat????????
Indeed,DuPont can take lessons from Kolisi.
Absolutely! Shocked at the lack of humility by the French. Actually, maybe not😂. Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@ecallk5544
Of course, why would he criticize a referee that made his team win that game?
Kolisi knows where his bread is buttered. Off to play for Racing 92 in front of French crowds every week... He will be on his best behaviour for this reason... Plus he won his knockout game and has Rassie doing the trashtalking and will thus have zero incentive to play bad cop. Dupont's situation is different. Galthié will not do it and his team mates must have asked him to carry this message so he did.
What a difference between this side and Ireland. Ireland never complained and never made excuses for their loss but here we have French blaming the ref. There were incidents that could also have gone the Springboks way. At the end of the day South Africa scored more tries and their defence won them the game. I feel for the French but it is what it is. They are a good side. Don't diminish your talents by blaming the ref. I appreciate that they recanted on their feelings about the ref halfway through the interview and they congratulated the Springboks.
Isn't that because IRE complain during the game itself, all game long?!
Scoring more tries doesn't mean you necessarily win. Yes we can argue about calls not being made on both sides, but it is a fact that some called against France were wrong and cost them points:
- the last penalty should have been reversed since the SA player had his hands on the ground. There is no denying that or talking about ref's appreciation. This is a clear rule and a clear foul.
- the conversion blocked happened because Kolbe started his run before Ramos started his run. There is also no denying that even Kolbe said he was glad they didn't use TMO (why, do you think?).
These are facts. Other controversial decisions include the potential deliberate knock-on that would have changed the game. This one is unclear because most image angles don't show exactly whether the ball went forward or backward. But it would not have been scandalous to give the French a penalty try and SA a yellow card on this.
@@ChangeHandballLaw get good bot
They don't complain, the reporters do.
@@ChangeHandballLawblah blah blah coulda woulda shoulda.france still LOST.
France stop blaming the ref. He was against SA from the start.
From the beginning? You mean when he didn’t wistle the voluntary forward that prevent a second try just after the first one ? :)
Ref was not good, but SA were better that’s all
All I’m going to say is that if they won they wouldn’t be talking about the refs decision. I strongly feel like both teams got their fair share of bad refing but you don’t hear the boks bitching about it
Do you have specific examples of clear and obvious decisions against SA though, decisions that can't be argued against because they are facts? I don't think there are. Yet some wrong decisions against the French are facts supported by rules not subject to ref's interpretation.
Just like SA ...
As a proud kiwi, hope to see both Galthie and Farrell still as head coaches in 4 years time as they are outstanding coaches. Feels weird not having the 2 NH Giants not in the SF, maybe because of how hyped they were before the world cup.
Let's hope lessons will be learnt wrt when the draw should be made for the next WC...there is very very little between Ireland, France, South Africa and New Zealand. Match-ups like we had between these 4 giants, would have taken a lot out of the winners and for the semi-finals BIG decisions will have to be taken about who to play and who to rest...whatever it is, will be a huge risk.
Every world cup mate
Cup going south
How hyped they were still during the pool game. Let's remember that NZ is beaten by France and SA by Ireland. Something feels weird about all this.
All except one but can’t win ‘em all 8 out of 9 so far ain’t that bad after this rwc will be 9out of 10 and Ireland have 7 quarterfinals champions
@@edouardmontfort7816 NZ were well beaten..SA was a toss-up loss to Ireland.
Both coach and captain are not matured
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
When things don’t go away, May we learn to lose in humility. Love and light 🌸
- France cleaning out from the side constantly
- France throwing the line out skew constantly
- France lying off their feet at the breakdown and stealing the ball
- ref constantly telling SA players to get their hands off the ball when they were legal
So are they gonna get banned as well? Or does that just the saffas🤣
Nah. Just us. World rugby will never punish their good friends in France
It doesn't matter whether the referee influenced the score or not. It's a defeat, full stop. The South Africans played within the limits that the referee allowed.
Don't blame the French for complaining because I heard South Africans complaining about the refereeing in November last year.
The only point I would make is that, apart from EB's yellow card, this time no other action was reviewed by the referee, unlike all the other matches at this World Cup.
Agreed. And one of the reasons French's ruck speed was so fast is because there was no breakdown content allowed owing to sealing off. You can't complain on one hand and ignore the advantage you had on the other.
he went to the bin and the team after that makes the decision. It was the correct decision, you just don't like it and hope for red cards to win games. Take a lemon
Well said
@@derekallan1341 I don't think most are complaining about no red card being given but rather no other yellow cards being given for other foul play.
@@ChangeHandballLaw to who? France or the Boks? I found reasons for both sides to be carded and they weren't
world class player , classless leader
It’s a pity that the journalists baited the them into complaining about the ref. But just to add - Du-Toit took a head to head clash with the French 14 and the TMO didn’t even look at it.
I am still seething over what seem to be ref inconsistencies between one match and the next. Aaron Smith yellow card for interference ( vs Wales) but Owen Farrell (vs Fiji) was more obvious and nothing happened. Shocking. Fiji was not awarded a penalty, Wales was. Mbonambi and du Toit off for head checks but didn’t see any follow up on how those happened. Etzebeth yellow carded. Sportsmanlike he apologised the French prop as he left the field.
All teams are affected by inconsistent judgements made by refs.
Great match - brutally fast and hard. Both teams had moments of brilliance and on the day, under these circumstances, the Boks held out as tougher and more canny, able to neutralise the overwhelming noise of the crowd supporting their home team. Not easy. But not the French team’s problem.
who cares?? That was not the world cup!!!!!!
South Africa got a yellow. Played with 14 men
Can only blame themselves; they had more possession, more territory, more carries, line breaks, meters made, dominant tackles, gain line successes (etc) and they still lost.
Absolutely true. Now they want to cry.
That's exactly why it's painful for us we had so much opportunities to win this, the first to blame is ourself but how can you blame a team that perfom so well against the strongest defence in the world 🙃
@@Passtouille31 Humble comment thank you ☺ 👍
@@Passtouille31Exactly, Les Bleus played so well.
Well maybe because of all the above they are allowed to think that maybe they don't only have themselves to blame. The blocked conversion for one is a blatant TMO miss. So is the last penalty to SA that should have been a French penalty. When you lose by 1 point surely you are allowed to think those wrong decisions impacted the final result.
We are lucky to have a world class captain like Siya, win or lose he remains humble and accept defeat❤️ Our🇿🇦 captain is matured 💯
They can't stop complaining about the refs because they know a prior arrangement was made. The refs were French tonight But the Boks were just to resilient and beat all of the combined.
wtf stop saying bs the ref was from NZ
I hope France gets in big trouble for this conference, bringing game into disrepute. Rassie got a YEAR ban
Well we remember 1995 and 2001 were the refs really cheated us, so much that as a French I d stopped watching the WC.
And nothing happened then to the referees!
/U7C6bTHyC0U?si=RQ6MbHsI8nXIcEzm
I hope Ben OKEEFE will get in trouble for that one.. blatantly refusing to even review offenses that had a huge influence on the game. And getting the home country out on a 1 point game.
Well he was constant as much that he got it wrong for france he got just as many for SA
@@sidneydreyer4486 No he wasn't. Social media are packed with the listings of the ref wrong calls. Only one of them was sending France to semis.
Shame. France lost the game for kicking the ball backwards in critical moments. Rofl. Stop being salty. It's sport. There is no ref that blows 100%.
A great game of Rugby .
Sad to hear sour grapes comments which are then somewhat retracted.
Well done to the Springboks , who played away from home, against a very Vocal crowd and fought back with Huge character to get the win.
Rugby was the winner in a well officiated game.
Thank for the Koolaid, dude. You obviously were never butthurt seeing your favorite team kicked out Mr I AM PERFECT
Another Rolex for the ref. Like in 1995 We know how south Africa wins. Helps from ref and steroid. Nothing to be proud of really.
@@quentingeoffroy1764Stop it. The game wasn't rigged. And I say this as a french. The referee was just bad that's all. I know this is frustrating because yeah i think the 7-7 is unfair, and Kolbe charge down isn't valid the problem is only between us and the referee not SA who played a marvellous game and deserved to be in the semis.
Congrats boks, I have a big respect for your team, what it means to you, and your beautiful country ! 🇿🇦
Truly one of the RWC’s greatest game ever, two heroic teams - pity about Mr O’Keefe gifting the 3 point for the illegal jackal - it decided the result.
Otherwise a 2 point win for the French. And before anyone claims sour grapes, I am not French and actually started off rooting for the non-home team.
The slap down by their second rower was a lot more blatant than Smith’s for NZ and that garnered them a yellow. Another puzzling one…..
@@edotensei7917 Always the same... 30 years of onesided refs and we still have french people saying "yeah contrats boks... " go one, Dop your players, get help from others english speaking refs We love being Fck hard in the butt..." WE Say no,no more, We are fed up. Tu seras toujours un perdant a féliciter ceux qui se dopent et trichent, nous on veut des duels de choque avec des adversaires honorables a la loyale alors discours de victime soumise tu peux te l'enfiler dans le fondement ça te feras gonfler les muscles comme un bok.
Sad to see Du Pont not handling it well … doesn’t matter how much you critique the ref it won’t chance the outcome. Instead they go for the undignified route which only garners them less respect. Ireland had a lot to complain about with the NZ game but did not attempt to take anything away from NZ
The French Journalist
asking about the Reffing🙄🤦🤦
Cry about the ref when you have the whole crowd behind you is just sad. Talk about rugby
Unfortunately they don’t have the same class as the coaches and captains of South Africa, New Zealand and Scotland all of whom were in a different class, whether in victory or defeat. The French team is fantastic but you win some and you lose some. The really great teams don’t have sour grapes
Yes because the ref is to blame for Jalibert kicking a penalty backwards and Ramos kicking the ball directly out off a 22 drop-out. Lack of BMT in critical moments cost the French, not the ref.
The margins were soooo small....1 point - the teams were extremely evenly matched & it could've gone either way! The French were fantastic, but the Boks rose to the challenge - took their opportunities when it presented itself & stuck out a period with only 14, as Eben had to watch from the sideline.
Great respect to both teams on the night, they were magnificent!
Condolences to the French in France!
But for the Boks ..onwards & upwards...let's go! BOKKE!
They took the three point O’Keeffe offered them when the forward attempting to jackal clearly had his weight on the ground/on his hand - that was the pivoting/key point of the game.
Saffers would be having an apoplectic conniption if they were the victims of such a bad/patently wrong refereeing decision. Everyone could see it …. And I’m not even French!
@@drdecco1 go and suck on a lemon
Don't blame the ref pls it was a tuff game but both teams played well only one winner
Well I lost any respect for these two after that interview.
SAME ! Very sore losers and in a home world cup
As a kiwi that deliberate knockdown not being called was just baffling, especially in light of the prior game between NZ vs IRE with Aaron Smith’s yellow card. The rules need to be consistently enforced… especially with all of the technology we have.
It should have been a penalty try. I completely understand they feel robbed.
@@DallasRabotit’s because Eben’s went backward
@@DallasRabotno I’m sorry that’s ridiculous. Look at the replay, eben clearly sweeps it backwards, and it lands behind him. That’s fair in the rule book. Penalty try would be ludicrous. What I am baffled about though is how Owen Farrell got away with no yellow when Aaron smith had it go the slightest bit forward seemingly unintentionally but he gets the bin
@@_dtvr485 Better go to spec savers mate… that didn’t go backwards. Eben moving his own body forwards after knocking it down does not alter the momentum or angle of the ball, or the laws of physics.
South Africa just got lucky.
I watched the 4 quarter finals, and during the very pleasant game between 2 outstanding teams : France and South Africa , it became clear to me that similar actions arbitrated by two different teams of referees were not consistently leading to the same decisions (e.g. voluntary knock-ons, rucks). That makes the game unreadable for non-specialists like me, and somehow unfair, not that much between the opponents of one match, but between all the teams involved in the quarter finals. That should no be and it's probably an issue to solve by World Rugby in the coming years (as well as ending up with 2 of the 4 best teams of the tournament being eliminated in quarters, based on their rankings years ago - non sense).
I also want to say that I always feel bad reading comments judging people like many youtubers do here (the usual mediocre people sitting in their armchair judging exceptional people actions and results).
I liked the France >NZ>Ireland>South Africa > France. Remembered me the game where mouse
Group the 2 top from each group into a group of 8. 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, and so forth.
@@fred1418huh? Who gets rank 1 and who gets rank 8?
By voluntary knock on I assume you are referring to the Etsebeth incident that Galthie mentioned? The ref deemed that he knocked the ball backwards/sideways, which is allowed. I get that you are a non-specialist, but there's also a duty on you to understand the laws of the game. Also, the ref was clear in his explanation at the time. I'm not sure what more can be done.
@@rothnieoosthuizen3728 I perfectly understand the basic laws of the game Rothnie. Explanations given on several decisions just don't compare with other referees statements. I don't blame the referee, but the inconsistency in decision making throughout the tournament. Yesterday, most referees would have stopped the game much more by strictly abiding to the rules (and would have called to the VAR in many occasions). What to do ? Many solutions in companies that could be reapplied to World Rugby but it's not the topic here.
@@TheWobogiba you are making lots of assertions and using terminology that is foreign to Rugby. We don't have VAR for instance and it isn't called a "voluntary knock on". Can you give specific examples of what you are talking about so I can try and assist you?
Was an amazing game but Dupont needs to suck up the sour grapes. You want to complain about the ref then pretend you didn't by saying oh but I won't say it; too late, you already did. Don't point fingers. Suck it up. Your team did amazing, and I'm sure by the next World Cup they will be even more so than now. You lost to a powerhouse like ZA by one point. One point. Take it for the win it is.
Cry more we love it..lost all respect for these guys
What bothers me the most in world rugby is the level of inconsistency in the way each game is reffed.
Why do the players need to constantly adapt to each ref’s style. The laws should be interpreted by all world rugby refs in the same way. They should all get into a meeting room and not get out before they sort their s* out 🤬
If the result was reversed you would not see the focus on the ref. Everything in context.
I have zero sympathy we won and have had plenty disappointments before. SA will win its 4th title.
France being France... Maybe u can nationalize more fijians, southafricans, samoans, etc. next time...
Well said!!
Nail biting game
Well played France Galthie is a gentleman
France going home, oh wait they are home😂
😂😂😂
Incredible how SA fans have short memories on how they react after a loss ! Why don't you make a ref compilation on that one ? Anyway, well played boks, amazing defense and incisives attacks ! We should play more often against you, what a plaisure to witness such games, even if outcome is terrible for us
That being said, do you think the comments by Galthie and Dupont are similar to that of Rassie's in his video? Are these comments not similar to Sexton lashing out at the referee? Do you think Dupont and Galthie will also receive a year ban for publicly calling out the referee and the officiating? Highly doubt it
@@jaconortje5009 We have a saying in France, "everyone sees noon at his own door" ! Anyway, France has respect for all rugby nations ! Except one. I'm telling you if you loose against England you can take your ambassador back
@@johnnsnow8910😂😂😂 well said, from a bok fan.
You can be very proud of your team. They way you never give up until the last moment. Think you will do very well in the next RWC. See you there France. Big respect for your hole team.
France never fail to blame the referee when they lose. Arrogance in the supreme. Take a look at Kolisi's statements, the *FIRST* thing he said was praise towards France. The French always make it about how they were cheated out of a win. South Africa deserved the win and are more humble with it than this French team have ever been.
Sour and disgusting was what I thought watching and listening to them. First I admired Du Pont for good playing - now I'm so glad he's on the sideline.
Funny thing is all through the World Cup so far in all the games we haven't seen as many foul play replays as this game.
Dupont, "I don't want to be a bad loser and moan about the referee, but..." lol, you're a bad loser if you continue the sentence boet
We have to understand that the ref wasnt the best and reffed the game bad to both teams. South Africa just adapted to whistle better and it resulted in a 1 point victory.
Excellent game nonetheless
We don't need your permission to be proud of the Springboks,you can't take nothing from them because you have nothing to take from them. Go Bokke,we love the people of France and appreciate you hosting our boys in green.
The French already thought they were world champions due to the home advantage. But respected no kicker from the opponents. Respect the kicker is part of this sport. Maybe the French will learn this from now on. I doubt it though.
the French were robbed, there attack was absolutely insane, skill and speed was almost beyond human. Okeefe took away from the French onslaught, they should have been rewarded
Given the availability of video replays, isn't it time to allow for a captain's challenge, similar to that used in the nrl? This would, in part, remove the opportunity for such issues to arise.
In relation to Eben's knock down, the rules state that the ball has to go forward to be deemed a penalty. Stupid rule, but the ref was right according to the rules. Some refs would have given the penalty anyway. In this case it may have been a yellow card or even a penalty try. And yet, the ref made the right call according to the rules.
PS: I'm waiting to see full-picture coverage of the charge down. The highlights make it look sus.
It’s a shame the ball went forward then 🤷♂️ hate the french but any South Africans celebrating this victory should be ashamed of themselves… no matter what they do in this World Cup, they’re now forever marred with cheating their way through it 🤷♂️ it’s unfortunate because they actually have a very good team.
I've tired to link to the video, but it won't let me. It went backwards. Stupid rule, and most refs would give the penalty, but it went backwards.
Dupont only played for 60mins. The last 20mins he was nowhere near what hes capable off. He looked broken and stunned
He's playing with a broken face, hardly surprising.
@croseycompsrugby902 then he should not have been on the field
Thats what they get for selecting an ufit player. No player is bigger than the game. France went all in on Du Pont and paid the price with his sloppy handling of the ball late in the game.
He is the best player in the world. But banking on one player will never win anyone a world cup.
I personally wont be watching any more of the World cup. You cant deny it was a great game! South Africa deserved to win. Even if they barely won.. On another day France could easily win that game. Just unfortunate they didnt handle the occasion well.
South Africa and New Zealand were the better teams this weekend for sure. But its so disappointing that theres going to be no new winner AGAIN. its like Brazil winning the world cup. Yes they deserve to, but its boring for neutral fans and not good for the sport and doesnt help it grow.
He's a wonderful player but those were very disappointing comments on the referee's performance, and they leave a sour taste. As with every game there were calls that could have gone either way, but the important thing is that he was consistent. I actually though the ref did an excellent job. Anyway, amazing game of rugby.
Poor Antoine. He was less intense since the abs game because his injury. Didnt want to go into contact as much because his face is sore
Oh he did go to contact, or rather he was elbowed in the face. But Erasmus had done his dirty work of trying to influence referee decisions saying the French like to simulate injuries. Some people call that being smart. I guess the game proved him wrong as there was no simulation but the outcome proved him right to have done his dirty work well.
@ChangeHandballLaw I only saw a part during the first half however
In typical fashion the French have sour grapes🍇, they should keep them for their overpriced wine 🍷
I disagree with this comment section, they didn't unfairly criticize the referee they said his level of refereeing was not up to standard of the game and as South african i agree. The referee lost control of the game there we fouls that the springboks committed that even i was surprised that he did give a penalty against us. The French fans are right to be angry at the refereeing but some of the calls (30-40%) were also against us. Whoever lost yesterday would have had a case to say the referee was unfair and biased. But it is what is.
COME ON YOU BOKKE!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ONTO THE SEMIS 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Remember 1995, review the kolby 's run before the move of Ramos ,sucker
it seems lik they are shocked they lost!!! were they expecting this game to be an easy win or what... most of us knew it will be close and could go either way, but these french journalists questions are phrased as if France failed dismally.. it was a 1 point loss.. they played well..
Andy Farrell's response regards their quarter final referee was all class.
Because the refereeing was on point which was clearly not the case for this match
Richie macaw and I hate nz, was the most frustrating player because in spite of his brilliance, work ethic etc he played smart and pushed the envelope. Their are also examples in australia and nz going all the way back to Fitz Patrick. Etebeth did that.
The comments from them were respectful and they did not moan about the referee they were asked about it, and as a South African i respect them more. Commiserations to you.
they were not respectful. They were sour, they pulled the ref decisions apart and then tried to pull the back by back tracking. Go listen to Kholisi after the Bok Irish game. It will teach you about respect
What a great game to watch and well done to France for bringing it. Both teams were equally matched and think what gave the Boks the edge was our BMT and experience in WC's. Please Please Du Pont, you are an awesome player with a once in a gen Rugby mind, Please don't become another Sexton Farrell Biggar where all we will remember you for is being a moaning cry baby when things don't go your way. There were a number of calls that didnt go SA's way either.
Its funny that both teams are blaming the ref.
I blame Ramos for taking his time to take the penalty kick that Kolbe ran up to with his hands in the air.
But what a great game from both sides.
They could still be playing now and France still wouldn't have scored another point.
Men against boys.
And the french are the ones being arrogant 😅😅
This match was played MENvsMEN and your comment is writen by a child.
thank you, I aim to write with the innocence and perspective of a child. I take it I have done a good job. I am flattered by your compliment.
You played well guys why being so salty ? The kind of person that critisize players after one of the best game of the century siting on a sofa... You can't critisize the ref like everyone else ? 🙃
Nr fifteen kicking his ball backwards, will surely blame his boot on adidas
WRT the question about Galthie's future with France, If that game is a "firable offence" then almost every coach in the world would need to be fired immediately. I mean, just like Ireland, they made the Semi-finals, they just had to play their Semi in the Quarter-final's week.
Cry more
What about the last 3 minutes when a French player was in the way of faf's pass that cold have led to 3 points...so i think the ref was balanced throughout the game...I think the ref was very good
The ref was totally useless his calls where inconsistent and questionable a lot of the times 😮
French backs totally outclassed ...now their forwards were another matter ...Mauvaka totally incredible
Referee Ben O'Keefe has been in very poor form for a very long time. Despite of this, NZL keeps pushing him to referee big games, and spoil spectacles.
France should be more creative the northern hemisphere refs ruin games with southern hemisphere teams
They are a great team! A very very impressive team. I think they were unlucky. I'm happy the bokke won, but it is sad the French are out, and that there had to be a loser knocked out tonight.
Both teams deserved to win. Unfortunately, it was SAs turn. I don't think you can blame the ref. If the french felt they deserved to win, it should have been more than 1 point difference.
To lose by one point must be frustrated for Ĺés Bleu.
in my rubbish opion the game from start to finish was a brilliant advert for rugby union and should have been a final to me both sides were brilliant but I'm a believer that France were robbed of a substantial victory by dubious referees decisions but in saying that the entire tournament was plagued by poor decision made by ref's. But that doesn't take away from a nail bitting rugby match
It was clean play accept defeat like true champs you are, it just wasn't your day maybe try next time, both teams were quality and both played like champs.
A trophy is just a decoration at international level but tact and style of play is the teams drive and DNA
Dupont looks South African.
Sometimes the best team doesn't win. Sport isn't always fair.
Luckily this time, the best team did win. 💚💛
@@theysaidwekant you were obviously watching a different game to the rest of us
They pay the ref and this didn't work out for them sorry bad losers 😂😂😂😂😂
Ref het teen ons geblaas Kak geblaas
Antoine can learn a thing or two from Siya about sportsmanship. Hes just whining now like a bby. It happens move on.
Actually it ws the reporters who made the comments about the refs. Their answers were very magnanimous.
Did the coach throw Du Pont under the bus in that second question? Very different to a South African press conference
French are so salty lol can’t deal with the fact that we won fair and square
"I don't want to be a bad loser," but I am... Lol
Why must the Springboks always prove they are worthy? Lets enjoy the game. Maybe we should ask ghe ref his opinion.
The problem for France and Ireland is that the game will move on now and what made them a powerhouse over the past 3 years won't work anymore. NZ, SA will continue to be the innovators and protectors of the game. Its in our DNA.
Joubert 2011, O'Keefe 2023 ; need SA and NZ referees to win not to improve rugby...
@@brunodesbergesdarz here, have a tissue.
so much so that you need doping to keep it in you bodies, about that I sure hope your team from 1995 is in good health nowadays ^^
TOUGH INTERVEW - THE PRESS ARE VULTURES!
I do feel for the French team, they played very well. It was truly a colossal game and will go down in history as one of the best ever played.
Moaning about the ref leaves a bitter taste though. You play with the cards you dealt, make it work for you -it’s an art that we have adopted and successfully added this to our tool belt. The bokke prepare not only for the team they are playing next but also who is officiating the games. We have had to!
But what truly amazes me is that Fabien Galthire is always looking across to Dupont - for what? Does he need his approval? Yes, he is an amazing player and the apple of the French's eye and arguably the best player in the world. But through this interview he seems immature. He has a long way to go to becoming a world class skipper/ leader like Siya or F Pienaar. Humble in both winning and defeat.
What is evidently clear, the gap between north and south has narrowed. I look forward to future games from the top-rated sides, they are going to be tight right to the end. Two, three points. Exciting!
Happens when you act Hollywood on the field trying to influence the ref
Man. I feel for Tier 2 teams more than France. They can complain all they want about the refereeing. Welcome to world rugby. You need tier 2 countries to have refs step up to ref big games. Impartial and don’t give a hoot who wins lol
Boks and refere won.
Have a sook😭😭😭
My left ear is bleeding
What was on with the French spectators. Why booing so much, even we someone comes back from HIA. 1st win your scrums and eat proper meat. Lol
My god, it's only a game, no one died lol
The ref was poor on both sides. Ben O'keefe should never officiate in a World Cup ever again. It was truly atrocious. - from an AB's supporter.
No matter what the French say, they LOST and are out of the World Cup! Take it like a man, so to speak!
Wasn’t okeefe
😂😂😂 too bad France, 4 more years!😂😂
This is how losers sound after losing..
Ireland and france were ranked better than SA and NZ, did the latter give them false hope leading up to the world cup....?
Since its the performance in the World Cup, only that matters.
Booooo
