Springboks break French hearts | France v South Africa | Rugby World Cup 2023 Highlights 

As a kenyan, I was so happy for South Africa win, I celebrated on top of my wooden table, I almost broke it, viva

Springbok supporter here, massive respect for France. That game could have went either way. Wow! What a game of Rugby.

I hate that we lost, but man, if you had to lose a game, it would be to a team like this. incredible Springboks, incredible XV de France, incredible sport.

As a Ghana 🇬🇭 Springboks fan in New York, this was a great, nerve racking and competitive match but as usual the Springboks persevered and made South Africa 🇿🇦 and Africa proud. Let’s Go all the way Boks.

Never in my life have I seen such high level rugby like that. Absolutely phenomenal. If you French I salute you that was amazing, well played. Well done South Africa for getting the win 🇿🇦 Love my team. Go SA

As an Islander south Africa is the team that earn my trust and support time and time again, they will do everything to fight not to disappoint their country and fans in world cup stages

Can we appreciate how iconic Mandoza's Nkalakatha is 👏🏾👏🏾🇿🇦 go Bokke!

🇿🇦Congratulations South Africa 💯🎉❤️🥳 love from India 🇮🇳

Shattered that we lost, but this will be remembered forever 🇫🇷 This game was probably the most intense rugby games I've ever seen.

As a Soccer fan who has recently fallen in love with Rugby, 3 minutes highlights are an injustice to the sport. You can do better. Well done to both teams for a magnificent game of Rugby

I think I am the biggest Indian fan of the Springboks (not many watch Rugby in India). What a crazy match.. couldnt be at ease till the final whistle. Massive respect for France and even more for the Springboks for keeping the nerves.

4 continents in the semifinals .... Incredible!!! 🌍🌎🌏

That the French played Nkalakatha at the end on SA's win was such a nice touch and show of good sportsmanship. That was such a beautiful gesture.

No amount of words can ever describe the joy that these boys bring to our country. They continue to stand tall for the flag and hold us together. Extremely proud to be South African right now cause of them!

As a Congolese🇨🇩 woman living in south africa for decay,and huge fan of 🏉, I can't hold my breath to thank ama-springboks warriors , all Africa is proud you for representing our continent validly,and you gotta bring that cup here again..."SPRINGBOK OR NOTHING " 🏆

Wooow. What an incredible match that was. Both deserve to be in the finals. As a kenyan, i am so proud of our Afrcian brothers🇿🇦. Much respect to France.

Most unreal game of rugby I’ve ever witnessed. France were so clinical and well oiled it’s surreal that we pulled it off. Let’s go boys 💚

Congratulations South Africa 🇿🇦 From New Zealand 🇳🇿

I thought the All Blacks - Ireland match was THE game of the tournament, but then this happened 🔥

Can we just appreciate how Faf de Klerk ripped the ball out of the Frenchman's hands in that last movement ‼️

As a kiwi I couldn’t be more proud of spring boks and the all blacks two massive games to get into the semis well done to both team’s unbelievable ❤❤❤

As Ghanaian 🇬🇭 and fellow African. I just want to say thanks Springboks for making me love Rugby 🏉 more and more. I pray one day Ghana 🇬🇭 will have a Rugby team to match yours. Unbelievable game, couldn’t sit down.

Lately loving this sport gentlemen BRAVO 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 you did Africa proud keep up the good work All from 🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸

Southern Hemisphere on🔝! Praying for an All Blacks v Boks final. Well done SA! From NZ 🇳🇿🤝🇿🇦

Pollard for getting that in from 52meters with such composure was super impressive. Great effort from both team

Much love South Africa from a Kiwi, awesome game.

Ethzebeth, what a legend. His try looked like Obelix running through Roman soldiers.

This match elevated Rugby as a sport. As fans, we will never be satisfied with waiting 4 years for Rugby of this level again. The bloodlust is real 😂. I felt alive during that match! It was exhilarating.

The Springboks can bring our nation together as one, like no one else can. Pure magic! 🇿🇦

All quarter final games did not disappoint. This game was the best so far of the rwc

That conversion that was blocked by Kolbe was one of the most important moments in Springboks rugby history !! It should be in every single highlight video!!!!!

Congratulations to SA from Egypt.. Well done & keep on. 🎉

As a Nigerian thank you South Africa you made the continent proud. Let's go💪

Well done Boks!!! Always supporting ours big brothers! Greatings from Argentina!

As a South African, I feel heartbroken for France. They are one of the best teams and played amazingly!! Thanks to both teams for making this one of the most memorable matches ever. Great host nation as well. Thanks 🇫🇷. well done 🇿🇦

Another southern hemisphere in the semis, well done Southafrica! from Argentina

Our boys are incredible, after that first 5 min I thought we were were done Proud of you guys, super proud

Springboks are the best!!! We need to take the second Cup in a row! Congratulations to South Africa, I am a fan from Russia. I have been a fan of the South African national team since 2007.🇷🇺🤝🇿🇦

Поздравления из России 🇷🇺🤝🇿🇦

As a football person i can't put in to words how amazing youtube comments express the beauty of this sport. No arguments, just pure respect for eachother and the game

Still unbelievable that we won this game, 😫it was absolute torture watching as a Boks fan! Thank you France for an absolutely epic game of rugby you were pure class.

As a Kenyan n a Rugby fan am so happy the boks won, we are firmly behind u. Make Africa proud 🤞

I don't think I was going to recover from losing as a Springbok fan. France was so good and pushed us to the limit. What a match, both teams were stellar.

Springbok supporter here. I cannot help but feel for the Irish and French. 2 incredible contests that could easily have ended differently. What a privilege to be part of these 2 epic contests. Brutal, but played in the spirit of the great game.

I'm praying for south Africa to win again .... Let's defend the cup to Africa one more time 🙏 watching from Kenya

As a AB supporter, absolutely admire the performance of the bokke, wow kwagga Smith what a beast.

I love south african . Your brother from Senegal 🇸🇳

South African here. I am sorry we broke French hearts, we love France! Thank you for giving us a good game. We had to work hard for that victory. Respect to you! gg Ireland - you rock too!

From an AB‘s supporter this was such an incredible effort from SA. This French team was a whole new beast to the one we faced in the opening pool game, and I’m glad it wasn’t us facing them in quarter-finals. But the amount of focus and mental discipline to take on such a powerful and well-oiled French team on their home turf is just elite. Congrats!

Uganda stands still every Springboks game-day. You guys make us feel so proud. Boks are winning it again, Motherland so proud.

From Canada with love, Let's go Springboks!

That rip by Faf at the end was FIERCE, and a thing of beauty.

Proud Kiwi here. Congrats SA! Was cheering you boys all the way! Hopefully see you in the finals! ❤️🇳🇿🇿🇦

It is always a pleasure to see the toughest players in this sport, the Springboks. Greetings from Buenos Aires

Go Springboks..... I am a huge fan of Springboks from India .....

Back to watch this replay after the win against England last night. Springboks are amazing

Chelsin Kolbe played his heart out!

Cuando Eben Etzebeth hizo el try lo festeje gritando como un loco. Estoy muy contento y feliz. Soy de Argentina pero siempre fui fanático de los Springboks!

This Game was so Intense, it felt like a final and should have been in my opinion. These two teams played their hearts out and it showed. Well Done BOKKE...

This game was exhilarating. I was hooked from start to finish, and that match being a close match shows how good both teams are. Congrats to the Books🇿🇦

Great respect for the both amazing teams 🇿🇦🇫🇷 from Australia 🇦🇺

As a Zambian who lived in Capetown for 27 years and grew to be part of this great nation this win is very important for southafrica playing in a quarter final against the host nation.this win shows what springboks are all about. Heart grit belief aspiration Well done

I am getting heart palpitations from watching the highlights. Probably one of the best Rugby games in the RWC. WOW

My beloved Springboks did it😊 This was a game worthy of a final. Sweet victory🇿🇦

I live in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 in a ghetto where it's rough but when our play the nation stops & tune in to support the Springboks. Some brought out his projector & displayed it against a large white wall so our entire neighborhood came out to watch the game. Each time the boks scored you could hear the cars hooting & people in other surrounding areas cheering. Rugby is the one sport that unites this country...we are believe that walk by faith & they know South Africa is behind them despite the 80 000 French fans booing us

Who else is watching and reading the comments, so proud of the Boks and well played France!! You guys have a great team.

Here after South Africa won🇿🇦but I still think this the best match of rugby I’ve EVER watched

As South Africa I have no amount of words I can describe the work of our boys , you have made us proud, we are looking forward to take again the second bet.✨✨💯

Just know that as South Africans this is more than just a team to us. It gives us hope and strength that together we can overcome the issues faced by South Africans. Much respect for the boys🔥🔥 France is really good. They almost killed me

Kolbe’s charge down made all the difference 🙌🏼🔥

As an England fan I'm terrified about what south Africa will do to us in the semi's 😂 what an outstanding 4 match's the quarters have been

What a game!!! 🤩 The boys makes a nation 🇿🇦 proud every single time. ❤️

I love the Springboks! I wish they win the World Cup.

We all had heart palpitations tonight! Scared scared excited happy scared!!! Absolutely a thriller! What a game!🇿🇦

So proud of the Springboks , doing Africans proud and so well. Massive respect

Big probs to the Springboks from an England fan. Even though I enjoyed seeing England beat Fiji on the same day (having lost earlier back in August), this was by far the best game I've seen so far in this World Cup, both teams played extremely well, but South Africa had the immense pressure of playing against a team in their home nation. In spite of all of that they came on on top in the end. I am so excited to see them play England later this week, and even though they'll almost certainly beat us (like in the RWC final in 2019), I hope we manage to play our best and go out with a bang against the Boks. Really proud to see them both go through to the Semi's.

》》 At one point I actually thought my intestines are out of my body😭💔... never in my existence have I screamed like that‼️😭.《《 thank you Springboks🇿🇦🇿🇦🔥

One of the best games of rugby I’ve ever watched! Rugby at it’s peak, GO BOKKE 🇿🇦

By far the best game of the tournament so far , super proud of my team , well done Springboks well done 👏🏾

I am still so pumped from last night ... cannot work today !!!! Most unreal game of rugby. Sooooo proud of our boytjies ♥♥ Absolute phenomenal game.

As a springbok supporter, I can’t believe we pulled this off. The french are absolutely brilliant, so many world class players and they play at a hundred miles an hour. Jalibert is an absolute machine. It’s a shame that a team that good is eliminated in the quarters

First time ever watching a rugby game and this was thrilling. Great game and sportsmanship throughout.

We are champions because of this game

Those final whistle scenes will remain in my memory forever. Just amazing.

As a Congolese, i could not be happier. i am so glad the continent is well represented thanks to South Africa.. such an intense physical game it was.. the last blown whistle made me jump in celebration. Au revoir la France!

Well done Springboks !!!Congratulations from Argentina!!!

Huge commiserations to France! As an Irishman, I know how you feel. Fought well and lost. It doesn't feel fair but that's the game and we love it for all the ups and downs. It has been an incredible world cup so far and I am amazed at the performances by both teams. Bring on the rest.

My heart nearly came out and complained as I was straining it from all the nervousness and excitement . I began counting down the seconds from the 79th minute and had my sisters help me count just to help me breathe. I was all emotional after the last whistle as I then realised things could have gone south had France not lost the ball. My heart goes out to the French, what a sad final moment that was considering they played that well till the last minute. World class perfomance that was!!

Massive respect to France 🇫🇷 🙌👏 they really pushed us to the end!

Can we just appreciate what a fantastic weekend of quarter final action we’ve had particularly at stade de France, some amazing rugby played

South African here. This game was the first time I've ever felt sad for the losing side. Super stoked we won, but man those French guys worked hard and played SO well!

I'm French, that was really tough to concede the victory , referee decisions in favor of south africa could be discutable, however the Sprinboks absolutely deserved the win, big play, world class organisation and agility on the field. Massive congrats

From a fellow Kiwi, good game to both teams! Yous both played unreal & should be proud of yourselves, Congrats Boks, we will hopefully like to see yous in 2 weeks time!🇳🇿🤝🏽🇿🇦

Hearts in NZ leap for joy as our Southern Hemisphere brothers end French RWC aspirations at home. Awesome Bokkie. Next victim, England.

Been watching rugby since I was 7. Not once in my life have I witnessed a knockout match this good. Both teams played really well. Cheers boks!

As a South African, this match was intense, I couldn't sit down for the first entire first half and I was thrilled when my team finally won. The way this match made me feel, reminds me a lot of how I felt during the 2022 FIFA World Cup final between France and Argentina. I'm a Messi fan, so I supported Argentina 'til the end. France in that match pushed an intense and crazy battle that just kept my heart racing. Argentina won in the end, and though I was excited that the team i supported won, I had a LOT of respect for France after that match, and in no doubt in my mind did I think they deserved to be champions. I felt the same with this match, supporting our representatives to 'til the end, and France pushed our team to the limit and were just dangerously close to winning. It doesn't matter what sport it is, France just doesn't seize to amaze me. French players really are just something else. I have ALL the respect in the world for France.

I've never been so anxious in my life. I need to rewatch the game again, this time without the nerves! Well done France for putting on a Fight, equally impressed by the Bokke and their undying spirit! This is an instant classic!

Im only rooting for 2 teams...South Africa and New Zealand...love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Heart pounding,heart stopping ,incredibly epic,a game of twists and turns,of the highest order,an edge of your seat thrill a minute.

well done SA, blessed with super fast wingers, good kickers, strong forwards, smart players
