Justin Marshall on the All Blacks' shock 35-7 loss to the Springboks | It's Only Sport 

And this is why I respect Justin Marshall so much. Honest and unbiased without making excuses!!!

Our Springboks must remain humble. All Blacks had a bad day at the office. Heaven only knows we've had plenty. Respect to the All Blacks, they will bounce back giving us more entertaining rugby.

Justin marshall really unbiased. Here better than the breakdown

Finally an All Black who is not blaming the referee. Respect for Justin Marshall!

Justin is a breathe of fresh air. The Breakdown "pundits" can learn from him on how to take a loss like a champ.

This is a much better look at the game than what the breakdown offered. Thank you Justin Marshall

It’s an injustice that Sky is not using Marshall at the World Cup. My mates were happy that Marshall was bach last Saturday calling that game. We found out that he was calling for another Station. He is one of our best rugby commentators/comments person in NZ and Sky left him behind.

Really respect Justin for his unbiased account of the match.

That was such a intelligent conversation. Like a breath of fresh air. From a Springbok supporter.

South Africa got caught out in New Zeeland. New Zeeland got caught out in Twickenham. Next game should be as close as the two teams are really to each other. Both teams are class!

Justin Marshall was incredibly unbiased on the South African broadcast. He brought a NZ perspective but he was great.

Justin has always been refreshingly honest, in calling the games. He's very good at it.

So much better than those whingy muppets from the Breakdown 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Good on Justin. So much more insightful, you are able to take something from what he said and build on from that. You can't build and learn if you complain like a victim for a full hour.

Fair, balanced, accurate commentary from Marshy. Pity Goldie and the breakdown couldn’t do the same

Springbok fan here.... We know that the ABs will come back stronger, always do.... I fancy them over France, looking forward to opening game

Justin Marshall hits the nail on the head. Love his insight. Jeff Wilson can learn something from him. Good luck to ABs for their upcoming games.

Hats off to Justin for this summary. Watched Break down with jeff wilson and gang, and they were just full of excuses, and focused only on the ref, and time played in the game. Justin breaks down the game beautifully, and makes 💯 sense.

People continuously underestimate Rassie and his tactical genius. Trust me when I say that he will still have a few more tricks up his sleeve! The Boks have been observing and learning how teams play and what they do under certain conditions

Great breakdown of it. Justins nailed it here. Congratulations South Africa. You look relentless

Finally🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you Justin! The breakdown crew never said it. 1. Where was the on field leadership? We couldn’t adjust! Boks sat in the gaps knowing we offload and we kept doing it?? 2. Why didn’t someone grab Scott after the first yellow card by the scruff of the neck and say “ NO MORE!”

Justin is a champ, remember his rivalries with Joost like yesterday. A hardcore competitor that would never back down, never lie down, never give up. Proper warrior. Loved and respected in South Africa for that. Same way we loved and respected Jerry Collins. Guys on The Breakdown dilutes the AB brand. Imagine Jerry whining like that. Never!

The arrogance of Wilson on the break down is remarkable...thank you Justin for your unbiased view

Most balanced and realistic analysis I've heard so far. Cheers Justin

Well said Justin Marshall. This is what a true rugby commentator is capable of. Humility is a very powerful entity. World cups are never won during warm up games.

In all my 56 years watching rugby. I've never seen an All Blacks team, after losing a match, never come back. Those boys will throw the kitchen sink and more in their next game. That's why the AB has always been our greatest rival. Having said that, the Boks to retain the world cup.

An All Black that is making a living as a professional commentator. An intellectual, and a gentleman. Congrats Mr Marshall , we salute you. The AB’s will come back harder then ever , they always do. My money on then making the final of the World Cup.

Respect both. Looking at the result honestly from both sides. ABs definitely still contenders for me 🇿🇦

South Africa learnt from their loss in Mt Smart just like the previous year NZ learnt from Nelspruit. Such are the margins at the top level. There's learning in losing. NZ will learn from this loss. I honestly don't wanna face them again this year.

Marshy doing a solid mike tyson impression

A honest and balanced view as usual, thank you Justin.

Amazing unbiased interview. Breakdown still have a lot to learn. Getting to the root of a problem rather then excuses. Awesome mate.

The thing is that Rassie is such a technical genius and he can come up with ideas that others can’t, he did it with the Cheetahs sitting on the roof 😂😂😂 but in all honesty the springboks have so much depth they can virtually do anything

Love me some Justin Marshall. Crazy not to have him on the panel from sky sports

Boks were stinging after previous losses to the AB's, and now we are even. AB's are class & will be back next time, even wiser-just like the Boks were. Glad the cards didn't have further repercussions, although injuries are a problem.Looking forward to an entertaining WC & excited to see what the Pacific Nations are going to bring

Libbok The key! Stay brave Rassie, we have the backs to compliment those beast forwards....Continue to use them!

Safrican here. Its just one game chaps where you were hammered. This happens from time to time and nobody knows this better than boks of the recent past. And then you come back which is just what the all blacks will do. Because they're the all blacks. What france really need to worry about is that its not often they lose 2 in a row. The carter mcaw era of invincibility is long gone but they will pitch come RWC.

Respect to Justin Marshall. 👍

Marshall vaping through the interview haha

The Kolisi factor is immense and I.must say,Justin Marshy is a legend! Says it as it is

The worst thing about this abysmal loss is that the ABs coach was laughing after it all and diminishing its significance. Its likely that nothing will change at all. The game is evolving and the ABs are behind.

Wonderful, honest analysis by Justin Marshall. Thank you, sir.

It will be epic to have a SA v NZ final in the 2023 WC. Anything is possible. I'm south African but have great respect for the AB team. No one can ever predict any result between the 2 with certainty. Good luck against Franse.

I recall us Boks losing weeks before the 2007 WC to Connacht. Not for a second do I think the AB fans should panic. See you fellas again soon, and best of luck.

Nice one Justin! Always been such an unbiased commentator over all these years! What amazing depth South Africa has!

My first time to ever put in a comment. What awesome and unbiased commentary. Not the nonsense from the breakdown

Great Podcats and love the honest, open discussion Martin and Justin!! Thanks for unbiased comments about both Bok and AB teams. Much respect to you both!!

Justin Marshall's analysis was spot on. The breakdown goon squad can learn a thing or 2

Justin and JK always a breath of fresh air unlike that bold head clown on the breakdown defending foul play and blaming the TMO for doing their jobs

PRESSURE!!! Kudos to the boks!!! AB's will learn ❤

Rugby is such a beautiful game. Appreciate the beauty of the game and stop worrying about who the best is and sit back and enjoy it.

Justin was hanging out with his new best friends..........the south african commentators. The moto of the springboks is come and drink with me. Justin we love you..........

It's wild to me that Sky did not rope this guy in

I won't lie I like this Martin Devlin guy as a South African seems like a cool dude

Justin Marshall always unbiased and insightful. Really need him back on the breakdown, the show is pointless now they just waffle on.

I think the other top tier nations have figured out one major weakness point in the All Blacks and its our captain Cane, Ireland exposed him last year and hes was heavily exposed from this recent defeat as a captain who lacks strong leadership and leads by example when the going gets tough.

Thank you, nice podcast, joined. Looking forward to this world cup -as springbok fan, there is little room for error in our or all Blacks pool. just need to make sure we go full out for Scotland as they are looking good

Unlike most Kiwi commentators, Marshall does not make excuses and shows respect for the opposition.

The ability to lessen the workload of the forwards is key for the world cup, a strategy employed during the championship of two teams is brilliant, allows more time to prepare and perform

Justin Marshall ......the only honest analysis amoungst his peers...maybey that why Sky don't want him

loved this interview.

Well done. A video with sound.

Great insights, as with many similar games in the past, wheb the pressures on, the experienced leadership team fails to adjust accordingly from the early 20mims, Understand its under the pump, but there’s enough in that leadership team they should see the issues, talk about whats happening, and decide it changes need to be taken

There was very little acknowledgment at Mt Smart that the Springboks were dead cold and made very silly mistakes in that first 20 minutes. After they woke up, they outscored the ABs for the next 60 min.

JM hits the nail on the head about the: "How to rattle the AB's" intel the other teams will get from watching that game. I think France is doing major homework now. I'll wager that, in the pre-match coaches meeting with Jaco Peyper before the RWC opener Monsieur Galthie is going to ask the ref to watch the AB lineout infringements carefully (see TasAnalytics). That said though, I don't see AB's going down twice in succession. Never happens.

true reflection of the management coach and captain on how far off the pace the ABs are against top teams. my prediction from 12 months ago that the ABs will struggle to make the quarter final have not changed. Marshie is always spot on

7-1 Split is a bold risky move and it could go either way - Win or bust! You have to give it to the coach for thinking out of the box.. This is how winning teams are made!

Justin Marshall is the only Kiwi commentator worth listening to. The rest a one sided one eyed and can’t lose with any grace.

Brilliant content. Earned a new subscriber

Excellent commentary 😊

I think South Africa gave us the second game last year after thumping us in the first game to save Fosters job, just look at how they played and left out their best players at the start of the second game. Or do you think they wouldn't do that to us?

Justin, you're a true star, magnanimous in defeat,

Im South African. But love All Blacks. All Blacks will never do video. If sa lost. Rassie would call Spielberg to make movie😅😅😅. Was only warm up game. You win some and loose some games. All Blacks for life

NZ will bounce back, this was an eye opener for them and perhaps came at the right time. Hope SA will stay focused and keep momentum.

to be fair to both teams - at Mt Smart it was the Bok starters who hadn't played much together and it showed... I felt that at twickers the ABs were rusty and things didn't work for them under that immense Bok pressure and discipline.

I feel everyone is ignoring the fact that South Africa had dealt to the Welsh the weekend before and running hot into this game. South Africa were incredible and totally dominated the All Blacks. All Blacks just mentally where not there and got found out. There is still plenty of positives to take out of this loss.

In some ways the game was reminiscent of that 2019 SF against England, the momentum never shifted from the first minute to the last, the AB's were mentally dull

At Mount Smart a lot of the South Africans had taken a few weeks off and so had these NZ players at Twickenham. That could explain both performances and if so both countries can learn from that.

The truth is that there's not much between the Boks and the ABs during this RWC cycle. Both are capable of rolling the other on any given day. AB vs Boks results since the last RWC: ABs 19-17 Boks ABs 29-31 Boks ABs 10-26 Boks ABs 35-23 Boks ABs 35-20 Boks ABs 7-35 Boks Win rate: 50% Overall tries: ABs 14-15 Boks Average score: ABs 23-25 Boks

The fact it is a shock loss says it all , if it was the bokkes no one would be surprised

Love this show

When you consider the last two All Black performances against the Wallabies and boks, the All blacks & coaching staff are failing to counter what both those sides learnt from the first games and what they would potentially bring to both return fixtures and look what happened? They sussed us out! Wallabies almost got us in Dunedin and the trouncing we just recieved. We rested on our laurels these last two games, we need to keep evolving and staying ahead to be more consistent. I see us making the semi's nothing more unfortunately.

Honest feedback from marshy..top bloke

Good comments made by Justin.

You are Unbiased

ABs are a quality side..always. They’ll fix what needs to be fixed and carry on

As a South African supporter I believe th AB's can definitely turn this around. I would be wary of an injured Kiwi 😅

Time has come teams don't fear the best rugby teams no more this is going to be the best RWC 🇿🇦

ABs lost their awe last 2 yrs. Fozzy and Cane ensuring that trend continues.

Remember the Box lost their opening game vs the All Blacks at the last World Cup, but things fell their way with other teams results wise and they won it. That’s sport, anything can happen. Looks like we are in for a few more upsets this WC.

I must agree with most of the comments I watched the breakdown and all complained about was the bunker. Correct if I am wrong was it that bunker was introduced for player welfare and rot out foul play

Weldone JM unbiased.

good show

Justin makes a very big point. When New Zealand gave the Springboks a good slap in Auckland, the Springboks fought back and made a game of it in the second half. The All Blacks did nothing at Twickenham. There was no counter, not even fifteen minutes of fightback. Personally, I think the hype behind the AB's because of their Rugby Championship performance was over optimistic. Let's not forget they lost a test series in New Zealand after winning the opener. They lost three consecutive games in New Zealand. They lost four out of five games at one stage, and they gave up a 19-point lead in the closing ten minutes against an average England team. Even their win last year at Ellispark was not the usual AB performance. Their handling was not good that day, but they still managed to win. In fact the only two impressive performances the last thirteen months have been the test in Argentina and the Springbok test in Auckland. The AB's will always be a threat but I don't think they are as good at the moment as everybody seem to think. I still have serious doubt about their thight five, and they haven't played the likes of France and Ireland who, like the Springboks, have seriously good tight fives.

Now for something completely different...: Imagine a commentary team of Matt Pierce, Hanyani Shimange, Justin Marshall and Tony Johnson, and Grant Nisbett to come anytime (he has such a lovely voice.)

Just like the Boks had players that hadn't played for a while, at Mt Smart, and got thumped, so too the All Blacks had players who hadn't played for a while at Twickenham, and got thumped. Credit to the Boks for arranging a game the week before they played the All Blacks. They were battle hardened.

Justins Marshell is 100% about the other teams getting the blueprint for success against ABs, Buster Douglas did the same when he beat Mike Tyson.

This was a flogging. Well done SA.

If JM becomes a coach for ABs, WATCH OUT WORLD

our starting forward pack is very good. But our depth falls away after that. We need get Frizell,Retallick and Lomax back for the Quarterfinals. Realty is we are number four in the world. Days of small fetcher at open side are over. Our forwards need to be big and physical.They should picked Finau. Our loose forwards are too small.We need more height in the line outs.

Justin was a great AB...He now he has a great after-life...He should join up with Chris Jones the "Phil Ligget" of rugby.
