As an American and Proud Springbok fan; any team from SA will be loved by me. Anytime any SA team can give Irish club a good work over; That'll give me smile😅
@@Sale_england_rugby_fan not exactly. The culture, the history, their play style. So many reasons to like them above their wins. Also, if they suddenly aren’t the best I wouldn’t stop liking them. My favorite club team is the sharks. They weren’t exactly tearing it up the year in the URC.
The bulls won two titles they were the only team from South Africa to win a super rugby title even Australian teams won more championships than they did.. The brumbies won two and the team Waratahs and reds won one each the rest was all NZ teams every NZ team has won a super rugby title at lease once
It was interesting to hear Victor Mattfield say that the S.A teams would not be able to compete successfully in Super Rugby these days since a lot of the Springboks are playing in other teams/competitions due to them changing their eligibility rules for the national team
The South African rugby teams were average at best when they played in the super rugby. I can understand why they chose to play in the northern hemisphere competition. Tired of losing 😂😂😂😂
You have a point but time zones were an issue and let's be honest, NZ rugby has suffered the most with SA leaving. 2 world cup cakes later and a loss to Ireland on home soil.
@@nickybabalas New Zealand are going through a rebuilding stage. It won’t be long before they’ll be number 1 again. They also lost against Argentina for the first time in history. Just like when South Africa lost against Japan in the 2015 RWC.
Rent free I see? 😂 I bet you shout out how the most successful team in the world EVER is NZ? It's quite impressive that you can win 90% of the games you play, but when the WC is on the line it comes down to who is actually the best. THE MOST successful team in RWC history is the Springboks, they have won 100% of the finals they have ever been in. 2-0 England and 2-0 NZ...... Still wanna talk about average champ? 😂
And our provincial teams are playing with 2nd choice players in many positions because most teams can't afford to keep the best players.... 90% of the Springboks ply there trade overseas,... If we could keep our best , we would be untouchable
