Instant reaction: Ciaran Frawley drop goal seals famous win over South Africa Rúaidhrí O'Connor and Cian Tracey joined Will Slattery to digest Ireland's famous win in South Africa after Ciaran Frawley's late drop goal.
As a Saffa all I will say is well done Ireland!!!!🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏You guys were amazing💫💫💫opponents and wonderful guests to our country. Your fans were respectful and just an absolute joy at the games💯. Those two games were incredible rugby and it's games like that, that will grow this wonderful sport we love so much.💚💛
@cici2716 😂😂 sorry. Thanks for the respectful comment anyway. I've had some harsh words for most SA fans so when a nice respectful comment comes in that should also be recognised
Nothing but respect for Ireland...brought the game to SA, and we rarely looked like winning. The amount of blood from the SA players, shows how much fire the Irish brought. Even with injuries, your boys just slotted in the next player in line, and Ireland played without missing a beat. Well done, the rivalry between the Boks and Ireland is alive and well, founded on a mutual respect.
Irish players need to get a lot of the credit too. They've been improving with every coach not long after the game went pro. First Gatland, then EOS, Kidney, Schmidt and Farrell. The common denominator is they've evolved and gotten better with each coach. In saying that, I've always been a huge fan of Farrell and think he's doing a superb job especially when it comes to player selection. He's making Cullen look like an amateur.
As a Saffa I can only respect this Irish team. They never gave up and played as if their lives depended on it. What two drop goals at the end by Frawley. Well deserved in the end. Both teams could have won both tests. 1-1 is a fair result. An incredible series by the two top teams in the world. Fair play to Ireland. Enjoy the victory.
@@normanstewart7130 I can see why Keenan would choose to go to the 7's, Andy Farrell rewards players who have earned their place, and Osborne has 100% done that, my feeling is Bunde Aki is at the end of his international career, if Osborne is a nailed on centre Farrell can have Keenan at full back with a top class back up.
Thank You. The Whole World is in Awe. By These Two Great Teams & Their Fantastic Followers. And Coaching Teams. Can’t Forget Them. Both Rassie & Farrell on next Meeting in Ireland Should Be Given. Irish Citizenship. What Ambassadors for the Game
Well deserved win to you guys. It was a ferocious fight from both teams. As a springbok fan, we lost fairly and the overall series result represents how close the two teams are. It was great having you here in SA
Proud of Andy Farrell for getting our boy out of their WC downer and seriously proud of the boys for stepping up against the best and hurting them, they can rock with the best in the world when they want too, just incredible guys, well done ,one and all, Frawley, needs to be respected from now on, more than earned it, we have been crying for him in Leinster to be getting starts, please let it happen
Thought this was about the Ireland SA test, but thanks for getting us all up to speed on Leinster. Thanks SA!!! Thanks to the Irish team, what a game. SA visitors to Ireland will find they are treated a bit more special from now on.
Credit also to Caolin Blade, in the heat of the moment, to look back for his outhalf, spin around and deliver a very quick, pinpoint accurate pass for one of the best drop goals in test rugby.
Performance of Osborne and Frawley raises questions about why Leinster are not playing them regularly at 15 and 10 respectively. If Cullen persists in playing them out of their natural positions I think he will come under severe questioning
Ireland were unfortunate in a couple of the penalties, the one where SA went in front for the first time was knocked back by Sasha Feinberg, 'remarkably ' no TMO intervention or penalty reversal.
Seriously? Your team played had a great test match and drew the series with an incredible win....and you still complain about officials decision making? South Africans are always accused of ref blaming. Your team played a tremendous game and showed that they had depth in their squad. And you still whine about decisions that went against you?
Lineout was ok. 89%. Higher than the boks. The scrum was kak which seems to be a repeating pattern. If we could sort that out we would be nearly unbeatable. Yeah SA probably have the best scrum in the world but we at least need to be able to not give a penalty away in 2 out of every 3 scrums.
To be fair, any other team is doing that if they're in such a situation. I can't help but think that that was just out of desperation and an embarrassment from our guys. Needed to close out that game and we failed. That was just class from Frawley. He is a brilliant footballer and I have always wondered why he's not getting a backing at Leinster. World-class performance from Ireland. What a game. Well done, you lads.
@@sibusisonogabe2220 Great respect for this South African team but to be fair, not every other team is doing that in that situation. For example, look at how the French reacted to Sexton's drop goal a few years back, they just took it with grudging respect. Similarly, Ireland beaten by England with a drop goal in the six nations and no slipping/diving and claiming obstruction there either. Kolbe and PSDT are better than that.
@@criticaltheoryofsociety7476There is some mitigation here. There is a camera angle showing one player with the scrum cap moving his hips slightly to obstruct Kolbe, and that’s what may have tripped him. But the dive was unacceptable, definitely embarrassing in Rugby Union.
There was a clear bump on Kolbe which caused him to slip and fall. He woukd not have done much about the drop goal though. Fair play Ireland and congratulations on the brilliant display.
Yes and fell on his arse right in front of Bealam at least 10 meters away from Frawley. The entire SA team running screaming at the ref like soccer players was not a good look.
@@BarryHawk I watched it again, not only did he “slip” but before he even hit the ground he stuck his hands up the give the impression he had been taken out. Cheating of the worst kind, soccer boy…..it’s not ⚽️ it’s 🏉
One thing with SA fans. They celebrate their victories like crazy and that may annoy someone. But we will still give credit to the opponent in defeat. Now credit goes to Ireland. You were warriors last night and deserved to win.
What a great win! Brilliant first half and then that storm that came at them in the second half. Giving away penalties again but, to be fair, it was because of the relentless Boks pressure, Ireland took most of their chances but got held up over the line again and Doris was almost in for a try but was held up by a brilliant tackle. All in all, I think Ireland will be happy and the Boks will feel they let it slip from their grasp in the end. It was a Boks mistake to give away that lineout to Ireland at the end. Boks player should not have touched that ball,
The marathon season has finaly ended with a blood splattered head on collision collision cruncher in Durban last Saturday with A deserved victory for Ireland against a great South African opponent. A second victory in our last three meetings against the Boks in recent months, with last Saturday being the sweetest of the lot is a terrific achievement for Andy Farrell and his squad. I believe Ciaran Frawley played Gaelic football with Skerries Harps before changing to the oval ball and was no stranger to kicking the ball over the bar which he did with some aplomb on Saturday superbly with the oval ball . Great to finish the season in style, enjoy the holliers lads.
He’s been on here imagining in his head that apparently Doris has been outplayed by all these 8s when it just has never happened. Reality is Doris will finish his career known to the world and Coombes will finish it only known to Munster fans
It is testament to Andy Farrell to turn this team twice from world cup blues, absolutely stunning performance against the number 1 team in the world, well done all, stunning. If Frawley does not get the 10 shirt at Leinster after this , I will as a season ticket holder stop going, we have been screaming for this for years, Leo needs to cop on or go. Frawley aced it and was excellent, well done
Do Leinster not have like season ticket holder meetings? Where the coaches etc come talk to the fans before/after a season? Just tell Leo at one of those.
Why do the Irish independence have this clown writing for them only two days ago Ireland hadn’t a hope according to these lads…. Have they ever seen Ireland play before
Yes. But Reporters with Media Usually Puppets to their Masters. Unlike the Guy sitting Behind him Having Breakfast. Did Anyone Notice Him. 🤔😳😳. What a Commentator He is EGGCHASERS. 🧐🤨😂😂
I think the Indo's angle is to be quite negative. They're in competition with other podcasts so they need a unique selling point I.e. go against the Irish grain.
@@philipmcdonald7370 Not one Irish pundit from any of the media channels predicted Ireland to win the test at the weekend. Ironically, the only 'Irishman' to predict the win was CJ Stander. He was adamant Ireland would lose the first and win the second.
What are we supposed to say, do you have any idea how many times I said “congratulations Ireland” yesterday? Come on now cut us some slack. We don’t have a good track record against Ireland in the Rassie era. This is not a shocking result.
@briancostello6892 That person is really asking us to do the impossible when we are containing our actual petty, annoying side. The Irish are good people and the media that they sent here were solid okes💚
I shouldn't have given that clover to the Irish girl from the bar in Northern Durban when I saw her again outside King's Park. I honestly never ever expected quarter finalists to beat four time world champions by such a slim margin. Well done to Ireland, I'm from Johannesburg and came with a massive contingent for this event and literally lost a small fortune on my bet when I made my prediction in Sandton before I flew to KZN. I've got new respect for this resilient Irish team and would have hoped Minister McKenzie could have scheduled a 3rd test to balance this madness. The Irish fans were very pleasant to drink with and I enjoyed interacting with them so well done Ireland, hope we meet in a semi or decider next time as I believe Ireland has massive confidence and audacity to achieve what they have just achieved against all odds against my team.
@KlipDriftCoke double wc winners but can't seem to beat Ireland home , away or at a world Cup. To be fair if the ref did his job properly last weekend it would have been 2-0 to Ireland.
@@andrewkelly7065You clearly have never walked on high altitude ground before so I highly doubt that my friend. Even the smart Irish fans that I met when I was in Artaine and the others from the Tolka Valley region didn't give your team a chance when I saw some of them in Pretoria. Ireland got lucky cos of a clover and that leprechaun looking Irish guy from the Ballito hotel who wished for a drop goal when I just initially arrived in Durban for the 2nd test. We drew and I'll accept the draw cos we are not New Zealand that you can just beat like you did in their country because at the end of the day, Ireland need to dive into the deep end(semis or more) one day after this overrated Irish squad meet SA again in a contest to see who is who.
@@andrewkelly7065 No disrespect to the Irish but you have to be either delusional or crazy to believe that Ireland could have won both. That drop goal clinched the Irish pride but it means nothing since we have four and they have quarter final consistency and Six Nations cups which is nothing compared to the Rugby Championship(10 World Cups between the SA/NZ/AUS teams). Ireland is still a baby in this sport despite their consistency out of WC tournaments..
Frawley really believed they could win it, when most of the team was flagging, he had the energy and desire to grasp it, as said, by that stage Ireland are usually running on fumes ie. the gallant 37 phases v NZ. Just awesome to see someone step up and carry the team forward, just an awesome effort.
Anothet historic win for Ireland u cud argue Ireland won the series due to been the away team remember the boks didn't score a try against us today and we scored more trys over the 2 games
Excellent show by both teams but Ireland had the edge & i believed like most fans they had this in them . Why were so many pundits and media outlets pumping all that negative stuff before the tests.
Typical of media Pundits. Most Never are Good Athletes. In Ireland it’s Obvious. How Many Refs Never any good at playing. But Become Experts at Refereeing. DAW. Old Irish Saying. HURLERS ON THE DITCH. 🤔🧐😳😳
To those who think Ireland won the series I have to say does point difference mean nothing? 😂 You had a coach in the press conference saying who ever wins with more points wins the series which is South Africa... 2ndly Ireland were shifting their pants thinking they about to lose the 2nd test if it wasn't for an amazing drop goal in the last second😂 consider yourselves lucky you didn't lose again... Worst game the springboks have played for a while and they still almost won that game 😂
Given that the Irish team were overwhelmingly made up of Leinster players you'd have to question that province's managemt in failing to bring in silverware over the last few years.
Healy finally gets decent minutes and shows what he can offer. They have wasted years giving him f@#k all time on pitch. Even with so few minutes for years he didn't miss a beat.
Another video saying James Ryan could have been culpable. For what?? What could Ryan have been penalised for? Entering a rick aggressively? Hes entitled to enter the ruck like that. If someone else is 80% through a roll its not on him, even if he flattens the ruck.
Murray is still a far better option than casey who isn't within an asses roar of jgp. Blade was the 2nd best 9 in the country for a bit and was unfortunate not to make the 23. Casey is one of those players who everyone wants to be a great player but he's not there. I thought he was having a great game v Italy until jgp came on and the improvement was drastic.
Well in the first game we didnt really score either from creating space. Irish are much better at creating space. It's a better game plan and system. So we have allot to do but it seems we are starting to change the game plan. It will take time. Congratulations on a very good win
Easy to kick a 'drop' goal if it doesn't bounce. Bit cheap but it got him the win. If the irish are the best at anything it certainly is cheap tricks. Probably took a page from mcaws book
Ref was a disgrace!! Dickson so obviously hates the Irish team it is just beyond acceptable!! He couldn’t be bothered to look at the head shot to Furlong but he was super keep to watch the roll over and over and send Doris off!!!
@@EolasColasYes he was either hoping to escalate the yellow or get both Ryan and Doris sent off. Two Cents Rugby commented on this saying Pearce as an AR was out of line in trying to change the refs decision.
Can we address that corrupt referee who tried his hardest to make the boks win 6 penalties in a row Ireland shud have won both matches i firmly believe Ireland beat nz and boks 7 times out of 10 we need the world cup every 3 yrs
@@leodivine TMO did call it. It was about time he called something. I thought he had gone home at one stage during this game. He wasn't much good last weekend ether.
Ireland reminds me of the kid on the playground that finds every excuse for their losses but when they win they are so shameless in victory😂. They certainly have no character. This is another reason why they cant perform on a RWC stage. These are the same people that made excuses of injuries, 13 month season, no moral in the squad, etc as if the Springboks did not have the exact same issues. Now that they scraped a victory and DRAWN THE SERIES BY DEFAULT CAUSED BY WORLD RUGBY FIXTURES they suddenly forgot about their issues and claiming this is the best victory of all time? Wow, such cowardly people. They couldn't even come support their team in droves as they do else where because they were fearing a 2-0 loss. I hope world rugby allows SA to play a 3 match series home and away against Ireland because this had become more than just a "rivalry"...
They don’t have faith in the team when the chips are down but change their tune afterwards and revise things. The squad have proved over a long period of time how good they are and they won’t lie down for anyone. No more of that loser mentality or happy with a good effort. That’s a thing of the past. I think years of losing in the past leaves a long term mark.
@@fonz114nothing to do with it, this podcast is always knocking the Irish team. Last week Ireland finished the game stronger than SA yet they ignored in favour of cheering for what they thought would be the winners. Clowns jumping on the band wagon. Well they got it wrong badly..
