Review: Springboks VS Ireland RWC Rematch 2024 Pretoria. Reactions, Analysis, Recap. Scrum Talk 

You need to visit South Africa like Eggchasers. Love you Wildcard 👍🏻👍🏻 Good game, Ireland is a quality team, proper 1v2 game. Going to be an interesting game next week at Durban.

Thanks Wildkard. Credit to the Irish but so relieved Springboks won. Cheers from Durban.

Passionate wild card from down under must come to Africa for a fun time, we would love to have you over here🙏🏻🇿🇦

Quick as lightning... you are a true Rugby lover. HATS OFF.

As an ex tighthead prop I have to agree regarding Porter. Propping is an art for sure!

Bokkes pushed us off the ball inside their 5 too easily! To many 22 entries and nothing to show for it. Should've gone wide more! Well done Bokkes 👏🏾 🇿🇦 If we were going to take a test game that was the day to do it. Not confident about next week in Durban.

The Lowe saving the touch thing and I'm an Irish fan here. Whats annoying is not if it was right or wrong call its the Lines man was not 10ft to the left of Lowe staring at him in the perfect position to see everything and couldn't make the call without the TMO......wtf. It was just another of many times in the game the ref team failed to be able to do there basic job. I don't think either team should be happy with the refs. There was some really harsh calls of plenty's given from both sides. The forward pass in the first half from the Boks was bad and the again the ref and lines man within 10ft fail to call it the mind boggles, you could have been in the worse seat in the stadium behind a piler with cataracts in both eyes and you would have seen it. I think the result was fair for what the ref aloud both teams to play. Congrats to the Boks. Ireland a penalty try at this level is just not on, need to do better.

Wilde Kaart Man ... the wild one with the wild tongue giving it the wild eye.

I enjoy your passionate commentry, and nice to see you wearing a Springbok jersey! Awesome atmosphere at Loftus, and great win. Well done BOKKE! 💪🏉🇿🇦

Good win Bokke from New Zealand, good to see you winning test's between world cups. Wildcard every losehead prop tries to keep the scrum up on their ball, and every tighthead is trying to bend the loosehead down to put the hooker under pressure. Front rowers know all the tricks mate

James Lowe MOTM for the boks 😂

Great analysis in the first 8 mins. The English refusal to hold weight in early scrums of the game with New Zealand were comically evident. Definitely something refs need to get wise to.

Top rugby content again, Wildkard. Visit us in South Africa, man.

Goodness gracious, bro - you've been busy churning this stuff out!!?! More power to your elbow!!👍

The Irish front row didn't allow us to get the hit. Surprised we allowed this to happen and couldn't find a solution.

However, not their best performance...but as a Springbok supporter will take the win

I suspect Pollard had Brandy and braai on his mind. If only his kicking could be more like Fafs hair.😂

So impressed that you responded to literally everyone. Great analysis, especially Porter’s technique. Thanks

Cheslins Soccer Dive and Crying at the end was amazing - like a Dying Swan

This was insane to watch , you could literally hear the impact of the scrums and tackles on the field .. Your take on this Match is very good .. @wildkard singing the South Africa Anthem would hit 10M views no problem .. i would like to see more of Sasha Feinberg , to drop kick 50m is no joke.

Love your energy level.

Bro, epic analysis of the scrum. I'm sure the Bok coaches will address the issues and have a plan for next week

Cheslin Kolbe. What a guy. And love how you brought up fafs hair 😅

Watching the Arg vs France now, hoping for a Southern Hemisphere white wash, congrats to Aussies and a brilliant All Blacks game as well.

Honestly it was such a sloppy and ugly game from the Bokke, but a win is a win😂😂 I agree with you on Porter as well. I was sitting watching the game, and calling out to my family watching with me that the Irish are pulling the bokke towards them in the scrum and sometimes even actively taking steps back if you look closely in order to pull the Boks forward before the ball gets put in, with the Irish nr 9 Specifically not putting the ball in and waiting for the Irish Scrum to pull the Bok Scrum back in order to get the penalty. Casey looked quite worrying. Seems like he just got some whiplash and a bit of a bump to the head when he fell. Hope it's just a bit of getting dazed after the tackle and nothing actually serious. I think the Bokke are maybe starting the experimentation phase again, hence why they did very few kicks and did a lot more running ball. It's back to the buildup and innovation stage for the bokke, so, they're gonna be doing a lot of experimentation for the next 4 years in preparation for the 2027 World Cup.

Love your analysis of rugby games. Your in-depth knowledge of rugby is one of the best on RU-vid.

Porter was not illegal, people been doing that forever, Definitely the black arts but not illegal

I wanna see you later this year at the boks all blacks game in cape town gonna be epic 💪

Yeah. This kicking game of the ABs is really boring. I think the Ireland/boks running game is the way forward.

On time😂. You earned my sub!

Makes sense why SA were struggling in the scrums, sneaky spot let's hope we find a work around

The scrum officiating was scandalous. You are correct, that is absolutely illegal!

I grew up in a small town in the Northen Cape and Faf De-klerk married a lady from my home town. He visits the town very often when he is in South Africa, and he likes to go for a jog around town.

Pumping Wild bru!

I was waiting for this, I can go jol now

I'm in stitches with your statement on Faf's hair😅. Good on you😂

Solid analysis mate! Great insights and on point 💪

Well done for bringing up the scrum technique of the Irish. Cant believe officials aren’t aware of it especially after the URC semi final vs Leinster

Love your energy wildkard

WC👌 Great analysis dude. Thanks for the scrum breakdown really appreciated that🍻🤟

😂 your comments on Faf de Klerk’s hair were hilarious.

Wildcard my man😆

About the "slow penalty taps" (min 18:30) : it's not that stupid, Toulouse have scored lots of tries this season with well drilled combinations on these plays Great content and enthusiasm, keep it up

Great scrum analysis. Always enjoy your commentary. It’s the result the bokke wanted, but there were some crucial issues that need improvement: dropped balls, missed kicks (both poles and line) and soft tries. Also need to find a solution to some Irish “cleverness”: players lying offsite (set a pod and run the play over the man), pop passes (have a two man tackle team with one to tackle and one to intercept the pass), closing down the space at scrum time (be the first to close the gap and squeeze them for space). For Irish non engagement in scrum, just delay the engagement or SA hooker can bind on Irish prop along with tight head and both pull him in to engage. Then go back to traditional bind.

Thank you for also seeing how Ireland pulled back and did not take the weight at scrum engagement. It’s clear and obvious for us all to see… except the ref somehow.

What a game. Yes some silly mistakes from both sides, which could have been due to the pressure of the game. But still an exciting one to watch. Our Bokke made us proud. Great analysis. Come to SA with Egg Chaser next time.

Love your commentary Wildkard !!!

The Cheslin Kolbe try should've been chalked off really for a very technical reason. As he was trying to keep the ball in on from a penalty, he should've jumped from outside the field and landed in the field of play. The ball crossed the plane of touch when he caught it. Also, the ball scraped his leg when his foot was on the ground in touch. On the other hand, Connor Muarray's try should also have been chalked off, because Finlay Bealham took four extra rolls after being tackled, so I guess it evens out.

"A front-row player must not pull an opponent." straight from World Rugby regarding the scrum.

Thanks Wildkard for you excellent work !!! always appreciated

Great analysis as usual. ❤

Thanks wildcard you’re the best bro 😎😎

Thanks for all the content, that jersey looks good on you mate.

Love your show Wildcard I'm a Springbok Supporter

Great pick up on the scrums there dude!

Well done Wilrd one, you did it again

It was a victory for a hometown TMO

Great commentary. Come and visit SA. You will be welcomed with open arms.

How is Porter yanking him down when malherbe is bound on porters arm 7.17?

Wildkard smashing it out of the park again 💪💥 good game some close calls, Irish bloodhounds never gave up, bokke had to go into 7th gear

LOVE YOUR WORK

I dont understand why you think Porter is illegal? To me what he is doing is very clever as as you said it makes Malherbe lose his balance.These are subtelties at scrum time. For example the Springbok penalty try, which was an outlier in terms of the rest of the game, was as a result of a very subtle early shove by the springboks. They achived this by initially binding at a higher position before dropping as a unit as the ball was about to come in and stepping forward. This gave the Irish front row no chance to recover.

Great analysis as always - Porter definitely needs to be checked

Didn’t like how the crowd and PA system partied on whilst it looked like Casey had a serious injury. A bit disrespectful

Goeie dag Wildkard! ❤

Wildkard, remeber boks got new attack coach with with tony brown, and you can see the boks trying a new attack system.. cant wait to see how it pans out, boks can become a scary team if these early signs are anything to go by

You're too funny 😂 " Faf's beautiful hair" Absolutely love watching your commentary on the games.

TMO man of the match

Goeie dag Wildkard. Hoop dit gaan goed?? The Boks made a few mistskes. Pollard missed a few spot kicks. Boks defence was questionable tonight. Good win anyway.

Brilliant observation on scrum

The Saffas might appreciate you saying it was close. According to many comments I've seen on other forums. They smashed Ireland.

The high ball pocket thing the boks started that last year , where kick and have one player contest the ball and have players waiting for opportunities or defend the chanal

That 2007 jersey 😍

I have to give credit to the Irish team, they are really good at skirting the boundaries of what is legal in the scrum and especially at the breakdown. Reminds me of a bunch of Richie McCaws. They got penalised multiple times for infringements at the ruck, and even lost a try because of it, but they were just so good at slowing down the Springboks ball.

Man of the match had to be James Lowe somehow managed to score 14 points for South Africa with two amazing brain farts in the second half

If the touch judge had his flag out after the touch to save the ball from being kicked out, the try would have been denied I think. The referee made the correct on field call

Came for the takes stayed for the scrum analysis. Was explaining Porters tech to my mum during the match lol. Highly illegal tech by Porter.

to fix the scrums we need to let the scrum half put the ball in on engage. that would make it a fair contest.

SA are the main team to do that scrum time you people are hilarious!

Porter is the new king Carlos or Richie. Rules will have to be made to stop his technique. Smart move though.

Ireland did good ,like Boks new play but there is to much cracks in the defense. Rassie and Brown need to decide what stile they want to play .They cannot do both .Boks DNA is physical contact not this All black stile.

On the second scrum at engaging Malherbe is already to stretched on his own.

Ireland really missed Johnny Saxton but fair analysis on great game.......waiting for next week showdown am going to view Australia vs Wales review ❤

Great advert for rugby! Boks made many mistakes, but in the end, Bomb squad was huge, PSDT gave Ireland PTSD...Arendse and Kolbe...hats off! ❤

Wildlard i ate too many cashews and cant stop shitting ive shitted 10 times today btw thanks for the vid good stuff

Excellent Wildkard. Have been saying this for a long time. Porter's arm movement and the angle of his elbow and the movement of the arm is so clear for all (but the officials for some reason) to see. Also the way his hips are always goes higher than his shoulders, as he tries get under the opponent. With these two techniques, we can see what the scrum collapses so many times, when he is in it. Porter has been doing this for a long time, and I do not understand why. He is strong enough to just keep his hios and shoulders level and push straight, without pulling the opponent down. On top of this, there were times when he did not even bind when the referee called bind. So, he is always looking for ways to try and get the best of his opponent by ways that should not be allowed. There is already enough focus on the scrum, and by him doing all these things, he is not helping the conversation. A lot of people will then say, yes, he might be doing these things, but as long as he gets away with it, and he is not getting penalised, t hen it is ok. But he has been penalised in the past, and then the same people are upset about it.

You talk like a Ausie but you have the heart ❤ of a South African . Hope you visit some day .

Thank you

Luke Pearce doesn't really understand the dark arts. Good analysis as always mate! Was a good game. Think the Boks are looking like they're still not operating at 100%. Way too many mistakes and loss of composure and structure at times to allow tries against the run of play.

This match confirmed on thing… Angus was right not to want to ref! Even TMO had his work cut out

I am willing to concede (provided a good counter), but the James Lowe incident; if you want to gamble and take "a quick throw in"; thats on you... not sure how I feel about this rule...

Very astute analysis, hope Rassie is aware of this

Gotta love the faf hair review

Man of the match was Ben Whitehouse. He saw a boot touch the ball but not the neck roll. Disallowed Lowe try.

I’ve been saying that about the new scrum law the whole time.

Another enjoyable rendition, thank you Wildcard

It was a game of two halves and one can see the tony effect on the boks they will need to do better next weekend.

Did you know SA had 1700 under 18 boys playing in and around craven week. The cream of the crop. There are 17 years old that can run like Arende and are taller than Eben. Get your school rugby right.

Congrats on the Aussie win today! I hope aus can truly turn a corner, ngl I really do not like ausland on a rugbyfield, but rugby is just better with a strong aussie team!
