Its not that we are world champions its because we playing against the greates rugby team the ever was so as a sign of respect we must put the AB through the spear 💪💪
@@aleccastro4761 Yep. Have another look: after Caleb Clarke was bundled over the side line by Arendse and Am early-ish in the first half, Clarke pulled Arendse up from the deck. It was great to see. Sportsmanship par excellence and more proof that this hooligan game is played by gentlemen. 😉
Willemse's try saving tackle is one of the best tackles I've ever seen!! Arendse's tackle on Barrett was so stupid and was completely unnecessary! Deserved the red card unfortunately. What a victory by the boys!! Go bokke!!
Arendse's red card was justified, no argue on that yes. But he's not a dirty player at all, he's judgment let him down in the spur of the moment, it's really inexperience and nerves that caused it. I doubt we will ever see him doing that again. He will not be available for the next test, will be ban for maybe 2-3 games I guess, so we're short of a wing yet again with Kolbe still injured, what a pity.
@@ajm6464 oh I'm not arguing with the fact it was justified, as soon as it happend, I called red card instantly. I'm saying it was incredibly stupid he even attempted to compete for the ball. Just strikes me as a bit of inexperience. A similar incident cost the B&I Lions series in 2009 v the boks
@@twistedgamer9167 they going through a poor patch,they definitely don't suck. Our Boks have gone through it multiple times before. The ABs should always get their respect.
I always looked up to the Springboks in the 80's, i even said to my dad as a AB Fanatic that the Springboks are the All Blacks Enemy! There is no team as Super Dangerous than the Springboks. They are lethal & I'm from NZ loving 2 Teams that Rock The World In Rugby History & Future
@@Lizardbrainzzz So what? Still doesn't take away from the fact that they were an awesome team in the 80s who could kerb stomp anyone. Would've won the 87 RWC EASILY had they played.
Malcolm Marx is one special player. He has that game breaking ability with his destruction around the breakdown ,superb ball carrying,lineout throwing and powerful scrummaging.. One of the greatest Boks ever.
The happy South Africans in the crowd! 😍 We don't get happy news in our country unless the Springboks win now. The one thing that brings almost the entire nation together...
From an Australian, I loved that SAFA crowd!, brilliant atmosphere that our rugby lacks right now. ABs are not the force they once were, however I think they will get back.
@@mattdrifts Willemse is quick ja, but he doesn't run at full speed all the time..Having 2 pick up speed while Clarke is already at full speed..That's just a willingness 2 stay in the fight. He could have easily just given up, seeing we had the game won.
As a Saffa, I have the utmost respect for the AB’s and the great rivalry we share. But man changes are needed with the AB’s. I’ve never seen a AB team be so poor at the basics, it appears they lacking confidence perhaps? Front Row needs some working on, because IMO that’s where you guys are getting beat quite often these days. Most of your loses last year and this year is because you failed to compete upfront and at the breakdown and not being able to deal with the rush defence that teams apply on you. Also, back line looking very flat? Think you guys could improve on your centre combo. That being said I really am empathetic towards the AB’s, was not too long ago when the Boks where in this position and we ranked 7th in the world. I firmly believe the AB’s will bounce back though, but changes need to happen and soon before it’s too late for the changes to have an affect before the WC. Much respect from 🇿🇦
Our head coach has picked the worst front rows possible for the last month now I truly don't understand his logic. All Blacks weren't clinical tonight but the Bokkes weren't great either, they slipped off a lot of tackles the few times the ABs had the ball and their only game plan seemed to be to put up the high kick and flood the area of contest probably legally but those rules might have to be looked at, which is how they scored and how they gained most of their territory, I will say the kicks themselves were bloody accurate though so credit to Pollard but I wouldn't be that happy if I was a boks fan. Refs definitely need to look at how the spring boks flooded the contestable area of kicks and how that winger of theirs had no regard for anyone's safety when he'd just run in full speed without looking at the other contester, he definitely got what he deserved although its pretty savage to say. With the right selections and the right coach I think the ABs will be okay. Well played to the Boks though no question they are the much better team and showed that tonight.
Id say the ABs problem has more to do with SA leaving super rugby than anything else, lack of having played decent competition compared to the Northern Teams and SA. You are only as good as your competition and ABs are sitting right alongside Australia in 5-6th place.
@@SnowPyramid I’d say it was more their confidence levels and that’s evident in the lack of basic skills. Last year they were competitive against the Boks….this year they have been woeful. I know that it’s not all the coach and the captains faults, the players need to be accountable but fixing a problem always starts at the top. The rotational policy, the chopping and changing of players and playing them out of position all undermine players and dent their confidence. That’s what I saw in this game against the Boks, school boy errors. What is it going to take to initiate change? A loss at Eden Park? Goodbye to the Bledisloe Cup? Well I can see more pain coming u til someone, the powers that be, own up to this shambles and does something about it.
that may have been the most comprehensive klap the ABs have ever received - Bokke and crowd were inspiring- and never heard so much reaching from the NZ commentators - Amm is brilliant hope Faf ok 👌
@FootballFanGGMU I would rather lose to an exceptional AB team then watch you guys get beaten by Ireland again😂 It was great to win, but we can all see the ABs are not playing for Foster
@@uSbusiso_, He sure did...BUT...when the AB's thrashed us a hundred million to zero, he was also the first to say that he was worried about the Boks and that the SH and AB's needed a strong Boks side, so.... Look, when the AB's were consistently the best team in the world (which they were), it's easy to get caught up in the whole spiel and believe you'll be there forever. The thing is, though, that that's just not possible. There will come a time when someone else steps up. Once-in-lifetime players have to retire, sooner or later. That's just the way she goes. The AB's have had the luxury of "dominating" rugby for the past almost 10 years (previous to the 2019 WC). Most of their younger supporters don't know what it feels like to lose occasionally (now consistently). Their older supporters have gotten used to "winning all the time" as well. It's obviously hard for them to deal with. We (the rest of the world) have been having it, so we know how to deal with it. It might sound harsh....but they'll learn to deal with losing. They have no choice. We all had to. Better luck (but not enough to beat us) next week, AB's. Best rivalry in rugby: Boks v AB's...by a country mile ❤
@@jamieodonnell160 sure pal what ever you say. SA played an amazing game. Stop hating it's bad for your skin. Boks gonna thump Ireland later on this year you will see.
Clarke v Willemse! That was one of the greatest try saving tackles I've seen. Unlucky Pollard couldn't pull Frizzell down and they ended up scoring anyway
Great crowd awesome atmosphere 👏🍻🍻 congratulations SA, so dangerous when you're looking so sharp,a Solid win and well deserved. Our boys are looking shake out there , alot to work on with not much time till the big dance,but don't count us out yet, on to the next one .
14 months left.. If there is a side that can turn it around. It's you guys. Whatever the case might be, I just hope the cup stays in the SH. I guess it's the auzzies time for their third. But of course I'm rooting for the Boks
Just what our country needs, you guys are the opitomy of tenacity, skill and team work, thanks for your example. So lekker to see a team of guys who all deserve to be wearing the green and gold!
Watched a yt vid not long ago detailing springboks number 13 as the best player in the world and I can see why. He plays the game so smartly but it falls under our radar because he’s very unorthodox with it.
Possession rugby by the Saffas was class! I think this is ‘El Classico’ of the rugby world and it didn’t disappoint - as an Aussie, I know that the AB’s have depth. Certain changes are needed, but the Saffas were just too good on the night.
2 of the greatest teams ever to play the great art of rugby. Victory to both teams. Beautiful anthems, crowd outstanding and great calls from refs. Gold standard game of all time.
Bok supporter here. Five losses in six from the ABs does feel like another universe. The Boks have been there as well - barely five years ago there were consecutive 50+ drubbings. That's freakin' dark places let me tell you. I've got no doubt the ABs will bounce back. It seems like they lack a bit of confidence. Well, and game time against the Boks. Losing the SA teams out of Super Rugby has not allowed this group to know what it's like to absorb that kind of physicality for 80mins.
@@davidvickers8425 what are you going on about that doesn't even make sense what your saying you fool. Also there was no domination last year you lost one game to SA you idiot. Mate you guys are lucky you even scored that last minute try today could easily have finished the game with 3 points. If you want a better understanding of what dominance looks like please refer to today's game.
@@davidvickers8425 Nope,not the same All blacks team...It's the same Boks though...We're the same, u guys declined..You are low on confidence...But it only takes 1 game 2 change things around
As a SAFFA obviously happy our Boks won. After our Boks I will always cheer for the AB's, huge fan, so are many SAFFA's. Tough to see them going through this period, hang in there. Would love to see them back as our no 1 opposition.
Yes, sometimes reality bites when we are down. We came to play and was outsmarted. I thought Malcolm Marx was immense. My player of the game with his 4 crucial turnover penalties. Those moments win games. Congrats.
As a Bok supporter I share your sentiments, although I still think ABs are our no 1 opposition and will be for many more years. NZ Rugby has too much talent at every level, they will resurrect soon - I assure you. Just read the comments here - the NZ public is demanding change and they'll get it soon. Even if NZ loses 10 games in a row they'll be our no 1 opposition and always the best game to watch. There's too much history, too many epic clashes that have happened - a bad patch for NZ won't change that. Also, never forget that the Boks went through their worst patch ever 2015-2018; losing to Japan, Italy, Scotland and all the others (and 57-0!) and for the most part NZ supporters were offering positive messages and still making us heartbroken Saffa supporters feel part of it. NZ will always be our no 1 foe, and also leaders in how the game should be played (not right now, but if you look back at the last 25 years of rugby)
It’s so true. As a South African I always support the All blacks against everyone else. I was gutted when they lost to Ireland recently. I am a Springbok first but definitely an All black after that.
As a SAFFA, I`m immensely proud of our Boys. I do however feel sorry for the slump you guys are in currently... The All Blacks have always, since I can remember, been my second Team in rugby, always rooting for you guys... You guys are our friends and stood by us even during the apartheid years, referring to the 86 Rebel Tour with Andy Dalton. I`m in no way condoning what happened in those years of course, just using it as an example... I`ve always had massive respect for you guys.. You will get out of this slump; hopefully not against us 😁😁 Stay strong Boys !!
@@hikanui281 Jut hang in their mate, it sucks yes when one's team is not performing. But it's always just temporary, you'll be back soon, hang in there. We need a strong AB team in world rugby, this is how we measure our level when we play you, hence atm we don't know how good or bad we really are when we play a struggling AB team ffs lol.
to good south africa .... i love watching the boks vs abs always a good entertaining game ...i will always be an all blacks lover but damn good rugby deserves its dues
AB fans should be happy, Foster said that this was their best game of the year and a huge improvement during the post match interview. Things are looking up for NZRU!
@@twistedgamer9167 well beat yes but hardly a slaughtering. The AB's have scored 50 points against the Boks 3 x, one of them was 57-0, now that's what you call a slaughtering.
@@steventhomas9461, Yeah, agreed. Does Fozzie have something against Webber? Being a Saffer, I would've included him in my team. Not that I think that would've made a difference today...but he seems [to me] to be the better between Smith and Christie? Please, correct me if I'm wrong...I haven't been watching Super Rugby of late, being more committed to the URC/NH games for obvious reasons.
@@Jackson_Anderson Fozzie has something against a few players mate. But in saying that, after watching this game, I feel like it's fair to say aside from our no direction in attack, everyone else has simply gotten better
I hope Barrett is okay. He owes him a big apology. Even as a South African, I can confidently say that that was absolutely dangerous and uncalled for. I feel for Barrett, man.
That was a mistake, not intended at all. Who on earth would want to concede a red card on first match for your country and risk losing the game like the game. The ref dealt with the matter so stop this nonsense
@@terihenri7230 it’s too hard to call mate. I played wing all throughout high school and I’ve chased 100s of bombs and I can tell you, at pace, it is sometimes hard to pull out. I’ve tried a few times but still collected their fullback. No ill intent but first reactions I always did was to protect myself first
@@tusonjoko6757 Intended or not, it was dangerous. It probably would have been a sending-off back in the old days when I played.....and that's really saying something!
Ouch. That was a bit of a rugby lesson in all aspects of the game. All Blacks' biggest drawback is definitely their inexperienced front row. And why Malcolm Marx doesn't start every game is beyond me. He must have the best turn-over stats in world rugby. Let alone his accurate line-outs and sheer power.
@@troyb1278 True, but my theory is to lay a good foundation and score at the start. This takes pressure off the subs and you can play Marx for more than 40 minutes. Boks mostly trail at half time.
Three cheers for the NZRFU, Ian Foster, and Same Cane!!!! Can't wait to see how Jeff Wilson spins this!!!! "Look, Nonu, Kano, Mcaw, Smith, and Smith are in their 40s. They couldn't be expected to play!" 😂
Bottoms to the ref. Never watched a match where the ref was strait forward, concistent and in a way, just in the background like all good refs should be.
My thoughts as well. It's also kudos to both teams that the referee did not feel the need to interfere. It's strange because there were still a handful of 50/50 calls although mostly consistent (small majority went Boks way which you expect given home advantage). Also little need for the TMO to get involved which was refreshing. No post-match video analysis required...😉
i totally agree but does anyone know why that first pen for the ab's was awarded?? it was sa put in at the scrum, they won the scrum and fed it backwards to first receiver who was called for offside....im at a total loss
..... also, years of prejudice against the 'racist' South Africans also coming to an end so refs more neutral and not favouring as in the past, the All Blacks.
@@tomwilko7841 All the back line players except for the two scrum halves, must remain behind the offside line which is 5m behind the hindmost foot in the scrum until the scrum ends. Damian de Allende was adjudged to have been less than the requisite 5m. Listen to the ref point this out. It is not enough just be behind the scrum. As a pro player it is incumbent upon you to put daylight between yourself and the last man on the scrum.
@@thobelandlebe4634 thank u so much for ur reply...that was genuinely causing me stress! I never knew that, I presumed the attacking team could form up anywhere up to the back of the scrum...that is the first time in my 48 years that I have seen that particular infringement...i knew I must be missing something but I was honestly thinking that the ref must have had a complete brain freeze and got mixed up who had the put in (not that that would have made sense in any way but I was at a loss) You live and learn
well hansen was an assistant so was nieaber so was farrel .point doesnt bear any fruit mate.Most of these players havent played against sa in the replubic .bokke different animal in front of our own people .same like each and every country...
Foster surely must be handing in his notice as we speak...If you recall his piece to camera a few days ago espousing that he will do anything for the betterment of this team. Surely that would mean him handing in his resignation and forgoing any financial contractual commitments he has with the NZRFU and saving the organisation a few hundred thousand dollars ...Lets see how authentic Ian really is to himself and the New Zealand Rugby public, lets see if he can really bow out with some credibility to his name or will his actions truly identify a man whose words often rang hollow and never materialised into anything tangible. Your move Foster !
I can't agree more. The All blacks is not about your career or pay day it's about national pride and duty. Your there because your the best the nation has to offer and if you can't deliver you resign. I think it is very arrogant of Ian Foster to hold such a position and just run the nation team into the ground, especially when have a coach who is by far more successful and qualified.
I’m gutted with Foster. We need Razor as coach. I have no confidence in our current NZRU and coach. It’s embarrassing. This is a North v South problem here in NZL
NZ All Blacks have the most spoilt, entitled bigoted fans on the planet, I’m glad the AB’s are losing not because I don’t like the AB’s but so their toddler fans get the opportunity to be humble and grow up
Can't for the life of me understand their hairstyles, does one even pay for that, looks unprofessional to say the least, looks like the kit man did it lol
You can mock the hairstyles but not the traditional tribal Maori tattoos bro. Not cool. Also, Lomu had a Ronaldo-like (Brazilian) haircut in the 90s and none said anything about it. So, different haircuts are not new to rugby.
You guys must be joking. As a South African, I tell you the willie is absolutely KAK & should have retired after the 2019 rwc. He's lucky to still be on the bench. His try was pure opportunistic / luck.
Chill brother. You are in your feelings now . Le Roux style of play is what's keeping him there. Willemse is learning a lot from him. Sometimes impersonation is a process. You are so negative look at the bright side mate
First the Irish, and now this. Wow!! Those of you who, like me, have been waiting 50 years to see teams consistently outclass the AB's should enjoy the moment: it's not likely to last very long 😁😁
As a bok fan I must admit you very right.Only a fool will write of the AB.The fact that they will not go to the WC as favorites for the first time make them even more dangerous imo.
Am is pure class! That tackle from willimse though, absolutely inspiring it’s moments like that that make other players step up, classy performance from the boks
Congratz Boks knew you would dominate us and you guys played extremely well in every area of the game setpiece was clinical and the defence was amazing ! Credit where it’s due a full 80 minute demolition . As for the Allblacks it must be clear now what needs to be done every man and his dog is screaming for change and a clean out from the board to the head coach and incompetent captain .but sadly nothing will happen until I fear it’s far too late …so thanks NZRU Foster and Sam cane what a great job you’ve done at destroying a legacy and alienating a loyal fan base good job 👍🏾 👏!!
Chill out mum, abs have been in a worse position than this, we are still good just need to step up, other teams caught up , but a few weeks ago we demolished ireland so bad it allowed us to score more points over all in the series. Back the boys fellas dont lose our spirit.
@@cannabiss9433 nobody wanted foster in the first place .Being loyal while watching him slowly deteriorate our great legacy. yeah other teams have caught up but foster offers nothing .no game plan no tactics no innovation so when I say loyal yeah we were loyal while we stood by and watched the house crumble around us. Sorry if I think it’s Disgusting and unacceptable and gets to a point where somethings got to give . So Let’s go for next weekend!! can’t wait for this to all be over !!!
When we play New Zealand it's always a sight to behold, it's a shame New Zealand are going through this downward sloping phase, SA and NZ are my 2 favourite international teams and seeing NZ this down bad probably because of the head coach as everybody says is really painful. Hopefully our Kiwi brethren will up their gave soon and give us a harder challenge in the finals when we play them next year for the Webb Ellis.🤝🏽
@@seymorbutts1027 Yeah right dream on. The AB's will bounce back with vengence. I'm not a Kiwi, I support the real green and gold (Australia), I assure you that there is no country in the world that has the passion or desire to win like NZ not even the Saffa's. South African's are passionate and love rugby, Kiwi's worship rugby, it's a religion in NZ. With all due respect, the Kiwi's are the best because they never settle for good enough, they will plan and innovate, develop and practice until it's perfected. Go and watch games where the AB's have got specifics wrong, watch the follow-ups and you see a completely different mindset and focus on the points that need to be perfected.
I thought the Boks played a perfect game of rush defense that rattled the AB's....as a Bok supporter and huge respecter of the AB's, they will still be challenging for hhe championship, so the Boks needs to win all their other games. AB's still and will always be a class act. GO BOKKE!!!!
Watched a movie which portrayed the beginning of the Spring Boks, bloody brilliant and their coach (an Irishman) way back then took them to a win against the English. Decent coaches certainly make the difference for winning, losing or just putting up a decent battle, the "Chief" for this one didn't/hasn't made the grade. Well done the Boks, deserved.
What film was that if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to see it. Another interesting bit of history: the Currie Cup (South Africa’s provincial tournament and incidentally the oldest rugby tournament in the world) gets its name from a Scottish merchant named Sir Donald Currie, who gave a golden cup to the British team and told them to give it to the South African team that showed the most heart. From that point on, the South African provincial teams played over the rights to hold this cup. Another pretty cool link to Britain.
Foster achieved nothing coaching the Chiefs & he is still ABs coach...Cane didnt achieve anything as captain for the Chiefs & he is still captain of the ABs 🙄
I’m gutted with Foster. We need Razor as coach. I have no confidence in our current NZRU and coach. It’s embarrassing. This is a North v South problem here in NZL
Boks looking good congratulations 👏 AB's have a lot to work on before the world Cup no one remembers test games only who the world champs are hopefully AB's are dailed in by then to remind the world who we really are!! 💥🇳🇿
Someone said in 1995 - if we can get all the people of the rainbow nation playing rugby and have a team that represents South Africa's demographic as a whole, we would be unstoppable. Not there quite yet but hoping we can continue like this........Andrew Merhtens (most vocal) wanted SA teams out of super rugby, AB's not used to playing against that physicality for 3 years (almost) and now (IMHO) it is showing. Even when the boks lost 57-0, the AB's knew they were in a physical match, despite the scoreline. But New Zealand will always be one of my favorite teams, and a joy to watch, hoping they come back from this BUT after next weekends match :-) The boks were where you guys were at before Rassie - so there is always hope.
They will and maybe by more (Kiwi) cant wait to lose again and again till the NZRU and Fostergo to a surgeons and finnally separate these Saimese twins from the hip
As a huge Bok supporter, I feel for the ABs and NZ supporters, cause we've also been in this position before and it sucks big time. And because of our awesome rugby history with NZ we urge the ABs to just fight through this bad patch and u will come out winning again like we know you're able too. Yes it's nice to win for SA and the Boks, especially the first win vs NZ in SA since 2014 omg lol, but it's not nice to see u struggling too, but it's not going to be for long. We would like to be challenged by a strong AB team instead, but we shouldn't wait too long, who knows next Saturday might be your time lol?
10:54 watch how Dane Coles rucks SA No.11 Mapimpi illegally from the side and then holds him by the throat on the ground. A proper grub and glad SA scored after that.
Dane Coles is a muppet who went past his use by date 3 seasons ago! Had anger management issues when he was in his prime! Now that he has no skills left to call on dirty moves is all he has to offer! From a Kiwi
DAamien Willemse, Lukhanyo Am, Arendse and Marx was fantastic but nobody is acknowledging how the Bok No.9 put in a shift and controlled the game with maturity. Great game of character.
Totally agree. Jaden Hendrikse showed so much class and composure. He played the second series against Wales and immediately proved himself right up there with Faf.
@Hendrik Breed - NZer here - thanks mate! It's better for us though if the ABs lose again at Ellis Park. Apparently Foster will be sacked if the ABs lose both Bok tests. Your guys can help us get a decent coach by pummeling the ABs again! Good luck! I'll be cheering the Boks at Ellis Park!
It is going to be a long and rough year for our men in black. I will be here to support them as always but something needs to change. Our boys lack confidence too many handling errors, indecisiveness and the lack of leadership on the field. I don't know if changing the coach will help our team because it appears that whatever is happening it is a team problem and not just a coach problem. Something is missing from this squad because even from the post match comments it sounds like they have just given up and they have no idea what to do. Well I was here back before they set the standard for the world to chase and now the world has caught up and I will be here supporting them through another dark chapter and wait for them to sort it out. Congrats to the Boke on a great win.
The team never really got into the game, on defensive duty too long. I agree that simply dumping foster may not entirely fix the issues we have currently. You can only coach a plan and trust the players to execute it. Appeared today they were willing but just unsure of their roles. Start by putting players in their best positions will help. I am quite sure the world isn’t caving in and the ABs will right the ship, just how long it will take is the question. In a way it’s good to have played the harder teams now so we can pinpoint our weaknesses and try fix them before the WC. All the other teams will now learn how tough it is to continue to hold onto top spot for an extended period of time.
@@sala6961 the abs will not get near a final with foster in charge. They are playing like a team thats not motivated and knows they are going out to lose. Completely out of sorts and have been for some time.
Pollard who cost us dearly last year back to kicking what is expected of him. He cost us dearly against Austtalia and Engksnd lasst year. MALCOLM MARX MUST START HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD NO1.
