Kolisi and Savea react with All Black and Springbok legends post final | RWC 2023 Official Podcast 

As a kiwi im sad we lost but im also happy south africa won as they are doing it for much more then just the game and there brand the springboks is right up there with ours!!! God bless kolisi and his country our biggest rivals but my god i hope we smash you guys in the next game 😂❤

Both *Ardie and Siya* both absolute Champions! *Respect* to South Africa's *Greatest* ever Captain! 🍺😎 🇳🇿 🇿🇦

Both Ardie and Siya seem like such incredible and down-to-earth gentlemen.

I love the respect SA and AB'S have for each other

I'm a Sourh African fan...we love the southern Hemisphere team...rivalry runs deep and respect for Allblacks even deeper....salute Allblacks. To our boys...bring it home...VIVA AMABOKKE VIVA

40:20 Siya you are a TRUE LEGEND, the way you speak and the love you share for Rassie and the boys... I am SO PROUD to be a Springbok supporter. You have brought me to tears with how humble you are. Thank you sir for being a true South African, so many others could learn from your amazing talent and humble nature.

We really missed having Malcom Marx for the whole tournament. That was an unfortunate injury which I think enabled the other teams to exploit us in the clear outs, rucks and turnovers. That being said we did the best we could and were able to pull off something amazing. Cheers Bokke! 🇿🇦🍻

3 Finals in 3 Weeks. The Might Springboks are the most Valiant of Warriors. Thank you Springboks you've made our country Dream Again

I love Siya's pre-match song and I want all Bok supporters to learn and sing it before games.

Savea captained the final anyway, almost beat us with 14 men 🤯

Im a south african but the 2011-2015 allblacks are the greatest rugby team ever. Simply unbeatable at times

Awesome guys, great show, what a man has Siya become, so much that the Springboks now symbolize led by Siya, what an incredible success story!!!

This was so much fun to watch!!!! Thank you all!

Ardie's smile is so contagious! Did anyone else just find themselves smiling when he entered?

My goodness... Siya speaks and I am a mess of snot and tears!

7) Du toit 6) Kolisi 8) Savea *vs* 6) Ollivon 7) Van der flier 8) Aldritt We want the North XV vs South XV game. Perhaps two games would be fine. One in each hemisphere.

Lots of love for the Springboks and the All Blacks! My Dream team XV are the Springboks.

Ardie Savea is a living legend. Respect to the All Blacks. Well done, Bokke!

IRB has done such an amazing job with the social media all world cup compared to the show of shame the ICC is currently putting up with their world cup. Well done and keep the engagement up.

The All Blacks are gracious losers. Massive respect from 🇿🇦 such worthy opponents. See you again New Zealand in the final in 2027 :)

Conrad summing it up perfectly. SA defend leads. They are comfortable defending. Had the All Blacks gone in front they would have changed tactics

I really hope these ABs go home to a hero's welcome as they are

As a Saffa its heartbreaking to see the Savea so distraught. The man is a legend.

Jean de Villiers, man is a funny guy😂😂😂

Great podcast.. great conversation..positive vibes…thank you.

Beautifully presented by Gethin over all of these weeks these podcasts have been a real joy ..thank you so much ..Siya and Ardie are truly amazing inspirational human beings …

Conrad Smith a legend. Totally humble. Happier as a fan. So humble

Man this past 6 weeks have been unreal, can’t believe we have to wait another 4 years! Rugby World Cups are magic…especially when your country wins!

From a SAFFA, Conrad Smith is such a legend. In the age of De Villiers/Fourie you would think we would have the best centers in the world, then NZ bring Mia and Conrad who just dominated the midfield for six years.

Ugo's view (9:10 - 10:25) of the Sam Cane incident was spot on. What an excellent analysis!

Conrad Smith shows his class and appreciating the context to the occasion.

Give Conrad another beer

in the end it showed us that Rassie and Nienaber are winners,,,,know how to pick winners and know how to win ...even with an absolutely exhausted team before the match.....thats the difference between this team and the rest of the world....

France vs Springboks was the best game I have ever watched. I'm so gutted France and Ireland didn't get to the semifinals

Bongi factor showed 2nd half is why Boks didnt score 2nd half. It was like playing with 14 men itself

If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Both team incredible. This why this will go down as one of the best world cups. Bokke all day everyday. Bt love new zealand rugby team

Brilliant podcast. I enjoyed every single one, from the first to the final one.

Rugby World Cup matches of teams versus the Top 6 ranked teams played - Scotland played 2, won 0 against the Top 6 - England played 1, won 0 against the Top 6 (Reached Semi-Final ! ) - France played 2 won 1 against the Top 6 (Reached 1/4 Final) - All Blacks played 3, won 1 against the Top 6 - Ireland played 3 won 2 against the Top 6 (Reached 1/4 Final) - Springboks played 5, won 4 against the Top 6 The above showcase how difficult the road was for the Springboks.

Great show. Coach of the year has to be Jacques Nienaber given their route and finding ways to win. Fav moment was RWC win. Fav moment in the video was the comment that SA wpuld have changed their play to score tries (and still find a way) had NZ kicked the goal

Siya Kolisi shouting “Go Liverpool!” 😂 41:45

Of course, as usual, South Africans bring some humor to almost everything. Regarding the fact that the Springboks won the quarter final by one point, the semi final by one point and then the final by one point. The banter is: The Springboks had tp prove a point.

Cool chat with Conrad & Jean and Ugo, well done Gethin these podcasts have been interesting and fun

This was awesome finale to these pods 🎙️ 😊 Thank you!

Magnificent job by all on the team. Thank you.

With the NZ commentary Ardies decision changed as the call came to kick for the corner from the coaches box. As Conrad said we had so many opportunities even with a red card, we came so close but hey the Boks are 4 x RWChamps - well done ABs and Boks for bringing a great game - good to see 2 legends Jean de Villers and Conrad Smith. SIYA for Pres!!!

Despite what was at stake, despite the obvious disappointment, despite the red card, despite playing like trojans…I sincerely think that the AB’s have conducted themselves so very graciously, with honour and justified dignity…this without whinging and whining. If ever there was a final result that deserved to be shared that was it. Thank you All Blacks…you’re our best competition and as sure as night follows day you will I am sure prevail in future showdowns.

Great interview guys, very cool listening to past players

agreed... the BOKS won three finals in a row, so they should get three gold medals

Summarize in 1 sentence.. "NO!" 😂😂😂

Really cool seeing a different side of these guys!

Fantastic host.. this entire rwc... keep at it

Wayne Barnes (& his cronies too now god forbid)are bigger than the game. Congratulations SpingBoks. You got us this time.🏴🏴🏴 Chin up Sam Cane we are proud of you and that the team got Silver by 1 point. Hardly a thrashing. Top show

Goeie Program! Springbokke!

When asking Conrad about "decisions," I'm assuming you're referring to the AB's decisions to kick to touch four times and not to poles or the decision not to attempt a drop goal. Lastly, Wayne Barnes didn't miss two kicks at poles.

An excellent show! Loved it!

Looking up into the skies there was a beautiful rainbow today The rainbow Nation 🌈

I hope the Springboks keep winning the World Cup until the rest of the world grows up.

Great convo gents! Red and yellow cards are really just a sign players maybe trying to hard under pressure and are pushing the limits and reacting in a way that may be unsafe. But as a rugby fan I feel the game gets ruined and unfair when a player is off for the whole game making one team having to work harder just to stay in the game. Maybe red cards could be 20 mins off? Maybe only if a player gets concussed from a poor tackle should they be red carded given the nature of the game is highly physical. Overall I felt the mental toughness of the Boks was just a bit better hence why they won, 90% of success starts in the mind, so huge congrats to them!

i got this feeling that springboks will in 2027 world , the upcoming players are amaZing Canan Moodie Libbok and Jurenzo Julius ,,, this will the most formidable side in the world

Siya for President 😋

Ardie and Kolisi❤

This was one of thee best pods/vids. I'm gon miss this.

Is Ugo a commentator? I've never listened to him before but I'm mightily impressed!

Great podcast….you have been so fair and objective . THANK YOU . I trust you will be doing it again in Oz ( do they really deserve a RWC? ) in 4 years time. I agree 100% about the folly of the red card for Sam ….such a decent man . I trust that this incredible performance of Boks whilst changing the game plan from running to “ real” rugby when needed , will change the “ boring “ remarks from pundits like ( I hate the Boks even if my remarks are laughable ) Matt Williams . So sad that so many losing captains are blaming referees ….whilst SA over the years have realised , we do not get the benefit of 50/50 referee calls , but have learned how to win despite referee decisions . Also believe that the rules are making it so difficult to officiate a rugby match …we need to be careful in criticising referees …we need them for this beautiful game . I have been watching rugby since the 1955 Lions side toured SA and can recall every player and score of the 1956 tour to NZ whilst listening with my dad in early hours in Cape Town…as Conrad summed up so nicely ….I “ love and hate the AB’s “….but how can anyone who loves rugby not admire Colin Meads , Brian Lahore , Dan Carter ( what an awesome human being ) , Jonah and so many more immortal AB’s . Once again love you ….love your podcast and love the great players on your programme . Lastly Conrad Smith ….as a Bok supporter you used to scare me in your playing years ….thank you for entertaining us .

Listen, one person is not a team. The 14players were not left alone they had each other. They had to play for him. AB is a brilliant team. As a South African we congratulate the New Zealand team on a match to remember.

Siya, my leadership. Danko

Well played South Africa, Fourie and PSDT especially impressive. I truly wish I knew why kolisi's head clash was better than Canes. I would rather a shoulder to the head than head to head contact. Cannot understand the inconsistency

Rassie for world rugby president ,,,,be fantastic

Jean de Villiers and Matfield predicted who would win the world cup..they where on point..just one team that did not make it that they choose...but spot on.Thanks Guys...I believed in that when I saw that..God Bless.

How is Ardie not captain?

Springboks, are a team of focus, commitment and sheer f@.king will. I once saw them kill three teams in a stadium with a point, one f@.king point!

R E S P E C T for Siya Kolisi.

22:45 Ardie. 37:55 Siya.

Savea and siya these 2 are what leadership are made whole world knows I don't need to explain about details about them there rugby speak for themselves they prove that countless times letting it all in the field and they care about the team and there country they love both smart and intelligent in there own rights

Being the best is not about flair or talent - it’s about resolve , endurance and winning

I agree with that, Springboks played finals 3times. All intense. Well done to the boys. But, A.B were amazing and I would have been happy if it was them than any other team

Ugh I want that springbok blazer so baaaaad!😂

I would die for Siya. A real leader.

Thanks guys for the great Podcast

Yes go Liverpool we never walk alone :)

Thank you Jean for mentioning the two incidents with Siya, sheesh not a great game from him overall but tackled very well, but gave nz the chance to claw back in the game

Jean de villiers is gesuiped, okes cooking lekker

Siya for president!!!

Wasn’t Sam Cane instrumental in the win over Ireland?

Great final show gents 😊

Jean is sauced up😂

The word destiny resonates with the Boks of ‘23

Siya for President

Which language is Conrad Smith speaking?

Why were Conrad's comments so obviously edited down?

Loved the show lads

I agree 100% about Sam Cane ❤️

It could have gone the other way. It was just meant to be for South Africans. We need to win this world cup.

With the rules for protecting players' heads, Bakkies gets sent straight to church with a red card first half of every game. Finally we can be fully proud of our team 2019, 2023🏉🌍🏆🇿🇦

Great back slapping session. The games in decline but the only one willing to talk about solutions as rugby declines in NZ, SA especially right now in Australia is David Moffett.

enjoyed watching

Honestly with the awards the NH are trying to make themselves feel better. Would love a SH v NH match. In good conditions. Say 2 in NH and 2 in SH

Let’s stop messing around and get a combined southern hemisphere team to take on a lions team and six nations teams tour. Kolisi the captain with ardie vice captain. Mounga, Jordie Barrett, will Jordan, cheslin kolbie, Telea, PSTD, Marx, all the same team. That would be one helluva team. Throw in a few Aussies to help our SH brothers out and what a treat it would be for us all. Tri nations was Is and will always be the best competition and Union ship in world rugby.

Keep in mind, yes, the AB’s had 14 for 50 mins but S.A. played with 14 for 20 mins. Also, the AB’s had a much easier game and easier pool so they came in fresher and therefore able to raise their game when they went down to 14. Not to mention, we played without a proper hooker, impacting the scrum and definitely impacting the line outs. I didn’t think the red to Cane was fair but I also think it helped the AB’s more than it hurt. The timing of the 2 yellows given to S.A. came at the worst possible time in the match with the ABs already in the ascendency.

These Gents were drunk at some point🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
