Heading into his last tour with the Ireland squad Assistant Coach Mike Catt gives a squad update and looks ahead to the challenge of two test matches in South Africa. #teamofus
It will for sure although I suspect SA will be too good for us. I have family heading over to watch the second test! They are looking forward to the trip
Good luck boys. I remember the gloom and doom surrounding the camp before the All Black Tour. And we won the test series. Let's go Ireland. We will miss Mike Catt when he goes. A legend for us.
The AB's regularly beat the Bokkie at home. Even put 50 on them a few times at home. 57-0 in NZ. So, there's the standard. Anything is possible. It's going to be biblical gladiator stuff. Definitely the most anticipated event in Rugby today. Kia ora from NZ.
…..those were the political appointment days when the coach had to be black! Hopeless, useless, no idea. Alistair Coetzee. Because this fool was on the 2007 coaching team - political appointment - meant nothing. Still a fool. (Namibia at the 2023 WC - this fool was the coach). Those were the days of Origen Hoskins and Fikile (knows Fokkol) as minister of sport. Look where the Blitzbokke recently landed up recently with a black coach? From winning with a white coach to loosing with a black coach. Stick is another political fool that knows nothing. Springboks loosing 50 zip was the fault of the inept minister of sport, Hoskins and Coetzee. All idiots. Count yourself lucky! Twickenham 2023 the ABs got their worst hiding ever in their history - hopeless useless Foster that should never have been appointed. Suck that one up. Springboks are world leaders because they have a coach who is world class - won every comp possible and been a WC bronze player himself. Rassie puts the Emblem firs above all else. A humble man.
It's personal to SA because rugby is all most of their country has to be excited for which Kolisi said himself. It's not personal for Ireland because we've had the better of them in the last 8 years and up until those comments from saffa players and fans, Ireland had no reason to take it personally and probably still don't because it's really not in our culture to take things like this to heart.
"Last time we'll have series like this" - Yes , last time he'll have !! and possibly some of the older players but there will be other series in future, in South Africa.
I don’t think the rankings are what matters. Unfortunately a lot of fans on TikTok mainly and instagram have turned completely toxic so the real fans don’t behave like this s
@@user-rn9co7jc4t 😅😅 it mattered to media outlets to generate headlines and increase traffic to their websites and it mattered to other coaches that if they lost to a number 1 ranked team they could say that if they lost on but we played a number one team. And it worked look at all the drama it’s caused
@@user-rn9co7jc4t no it only matters to media outlets or coaches Who can use that if their team lost. And look it’s worked you are still talking about it
@@kimonconidaris7375yeah and the boks have 4 irish men on their coaching staff . Even a segment dedicated to one on the chasing the sun documentary 😂
yeah and the boks have 4 irish men on their coaching staff . Even a segment dedicated to one on the chasing the sun documentary 😂 the 90% of ireland mgmt is irish. Even Andy.. he was raised in uk but both parents from ireland .. Farrell & o loughlin.. couldn’t be more irish 😂
@@niallsheehan474 Bafana Bafana Boks... because like the soccer team, they kick all the time and fake injuries for a rest. If you would stop peeling potatoes for five minutes, and learned a little, maybe you'd have got that reference.
Elizabeth Regina Nelsen has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the UK as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
honawikeepa: the Boks won the last 2 tests again the All Blacks including the last 2 world cup consecutive. You live in the past. The past is gone and the Boks are the world Champions. The 2 top teams in the world are Boks and Ireland. AB are little bit forgotten and the top teams don't worry any more about the AB
@brianmcglennon7139 coaches don't play the game. Not sure you are aware of that. Same can be said of the irish system. Guest where Michael cat is from🤦🏻♂️
