I came here just to say this😂😂😂

@@TeeJy145 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌

Facts😂😅

🤣🤣🤣​@@azalianieuwenhuys8844

He was an incredible no 10 who was very wiley in his day.

👍🏴‍☠☘

I remember that 81 tour as well - he was superb

@@DhirajSingh-tk1pl He was the best flyhalf on the planet.

Correct.

Yes, when your opponent is making a mistake, shush! 🤫😆

But we want them to beat England, France and Ireland... we need to help them, but can we please just wait until after Saturday 😂

@@jameswebb-hl2vu look at the bok fan comments just rings of insult

Then stop telling them that naasty botha is an icon, they think we`re idiots

Sad ta say the abs have gone down hill since 2011-2015 and now its the genius of Rassie creating depth with players ,not just 1 or 2 variations but 3 or 4 positions a player can and must b able to play!That's where rugby's moving and that's thanks to Rassie!Go bokke show abs who's boss,we no longer underdogs anymore!💪👍💪🤝🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Lol that's a meme in South Africa 😂 The one and only Naas Bohta

Classic🤣🤣🤣

“On the other hand, Darren” from Boots and All back in the day with Darren Scott

On the other hand,Darren.

Botha

😂

😂😂😂 Naas what a legend!

haha lol

Drop goals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@CocoLico-fh5pyWhat are you laughing at? Believe me, as a WP (Stormers) supporter, it was no joke watching him win games with drop goals against us - getting the ball in his 22, kicking it out in ours and soon after "bam" - the Bulls up another 3 points. He could keep it up all day, while looking as if he's got all the time in the world with ball in hand. It was a different game back then, I grant you that, but he was a master at it.

​@@CocoLico-fh5py??????? ???????????????????? ???????

And he could do it with left or right foot!

and as a Tvl (Lions) supporter I shed some tears back in the late 80s and 90s when Naas controlled games with his tactical kicking and drop goals ...especially 1987 Currie Cup final in the rain at Ellis Park

😅

Of course world rugby did lol seriously you can’t be taken serious

Got a link for that mate or should we just take your word for it 😆

​@@leightonkeutenius4455Rule 11.2 and 11.5b. Look it up and see how it applies in Mbonambi's try. I thought, based on that, that it was a try. I may be wrong. Would like your take on it.

Bongi's try is a try because the ref officiated it so. Taylor's try is a try because the ref officiated it so. Fassi deserved his red card because the ref officiated it so. Sam Cane did not get a yellow card because the ref officiated it so. That is how the game works. That is our ethos.

@@randomlyfactual1943 then how come YOU decided to escalate Fassi's yellow to a red?

Could not have happened to two better teams :)

No one pushed them out. They wanted out. Money doesn’t talk it screams. Saffas twist everything have you noticed, Bongi non try case in point. They also can not understand that the last two games played against the ABs, including the WC have been won by them due to TMO cock ups.

@@potsie7778 cope

Botha is right kicks to ( hand ball back ) nowhere. Super rugby comp Australia NZ pacific islands ..that's It

​@@potsie7778Yes yes you pushed us out.if I am not mistaken the original suggestions came from Dan Carter

😂😂😂😂

Correct. You keep ball in hand, protect it and attack not boot it to Springbok backs and give them the initiative. Naas was no tackler, but he was a great attack general and kicker.

he does in fact coach ... recently India national team and around Pretoria he coached a Division 2 school 1st XV... was it Oos Moot? or Zwartkop?

True, but i mean if started long ago he could of been a South African, England, New Zealand ext coach. I meant top off the best. You are 100% right on what you said. God bless ​@krlauf5307

Super 14 was the most balanced of all the Super Rugby iterations. Then the organizers got too greedy. Support for the comp was waning but ultimately Oz and NZ kicking SA out was like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

100%

I watched him destroy my local team, suddenly decided drop kicks was the way forward and totally changed the game. I hated him but he is still the best kicker I have ever seen.

The best ever it could be argued.

Neither did the rest of New Zealand!

Totally agree. Never in my life have I seen one player have such an impact on a game, except Lomu.

I wonder whether the people who think they know more than a referee who has officiated at two world cups, at a couple of dozen matches in the Six Nations and Rugby Championship and about a hundred club matches in Europe ever get embarrassed when they make statements like these. Do you think you know better than your doctor, too? How about your mechanic? Your accountant, maybe?

@@randomlyfactual1943 If Brace has such wonderful credentials as a ref (btw never heard of him prior to this & I've been following rugby union for decades), why does he not understand the basic laws of rugby? Although I didn't make the original comment, I don't see why anyone other than Ref Brace should be embarrassed... in fact, mortified. He's been called out by some of the top former international rugby players & pundits in the world. He had an absolute shocker! Tell me Cane shouldn't have been cited (and red-carded for breaking Kolisi's nose and part of his cheekbone... all because Cane has never learnt to tackle correctly & is a repeat offender)? Do you understand the relatively new law of double banking? If so, you'd understand why NZ's first try should not have stood. Are you unable to see the shot clock issues? Pretty obvious if you were watching. If Sacha F-M's kick was timed out, then DMac's should also have been timed out as the clock had reached zero quite a bit before he even started taking his run-up to kick. Bongi Mbonambi's try was legit - explained in detail (see link) plus take a look at Rugby Law 11.5b. The original comment was far more gracious than I am... it said that there will always be mistakes by refs. Probably so, but at least be consistent with both the wrong & right decisions. And if you don't keep up with current rugby laws, don't criticize those who know better than you. And yes, academics research medical matters and don't blindly follow what their doctors tell them (doctors are not Gods & neither are rugby refs). www.planetrugby.com/news/law-discussion-springboks-controversial-bongi-mbonambi-try-was-the-correct-decision-heres-why

@@vivb5180 See here's the problem. Folks who never A) played, B) coached or C) reffed a single competitive game of rugby goes and learns a what amounts to a buzzword like "double banking" or "Law 11.5" and suddenly know more than the ref. Just like actual laws, the laws of rugby allow for interpretation. There isn't a single one that is definitively correct. One referee can look at Bongi's try and feel that there was not enough control when dotting down and would not award the try. Another referee might feel that as long as there had been downward pressure and he was technically the ball carrier, then that satisfies them with regards to awarding the try. Neither referee is wrong, neither one is right. If they base their decision on anyone of the hundreds of laws, then their decision is valid.

@@randomlyfactual1943 Wow, you know me so well... I've never played, coached or reffed a rugby match... really? Your crystal ball needs some buffing. Double banking is quicker than explaining exactly what this entails, but happy to explain in detail if you aren't familiar with this 'buzzword'. Whichever way you put it, it's illegal and and should be penalised If former international ref, Nigel Owens, can interpret rugby laws correctly, it should be possible for officiating 'teams' to get it right, too. But it wasn't just Brace who was a disgrace, because when he asked for the TMO to review the high hit on Kolisi by repeat offender Cane, the reply was that there was no need to review the incident (meanwhile, the injured player is bleeding profusely & it turns out that his nose is broken & part of his cheekbone is fractured)... yet this does not warrant a second look and review?? Sorry, simply not good enough. There are refs out there who would make better, more consistent, and more accurate calls and 'interpretations'.

No one forced them out get your facts right

Not correct sorry with Smith the allblacks had serious issues with rush defence starting with the Lions tour . TJ is just awfully slow and past it …

@@stopcogovernance spring bok fans can eat sht

I agree. Where the ABs of the past were a very street smart side. It all starts at the rather inept competition that super rugby has now become. You only have to see the Wallabies and Allblacks decline over the years and more so the Wallabies

Agreed . Hope ABs don't listen to this tip as this is a great part of solving their puzzle From Bok supporter ..much respect to the ABs

It has hence why they struggle against teams like Ireland, France over the years and the Boks play in there competitions which has benefited them where super rugby it's all tye same style which isn't great preparation for test rugby

Nah, he was consistently weird to both teams while Bryce was one-eyed.

Rieko is a crap centre

He had a very high percentage of sliding off tackles. It's one thing to miss tackles, but it's another to lay hands on the opposing player only to be easily shrugged off.

😅😂

I think you will need to coach Naas, his 1st language is Afrikaans

It's like West Indies cricket in 70's fast bowlers ruled batsmen adjusted then came spin & great fielding batsmen adjusted again Teams adjusted to NZ's quick play by better conditioning defence set piece turnover and counter attacks So AB's want to actually keep the fast paced play into space but develop defence tactical kicks set piece ... they have to adjust I do believe the super rugby benefitted NZ more than SA purely coz SA did not adapt to running style during that period (and they should have) but yet they provided NZ with good defence to run against. So NZ stopped getting to play against teams high in defence skill I guess? Saturday will be a humdinger again. Respect to NZ AB's. 🇿🇦

Yea good points. So I guess it’s the case if they just keep getting better at smash and bash and we just have to find a way through them. They are on a journey of pressure though defence and we are on a mission of pressure through attack. I’m happy with that challenge and I just hope razor and the abs are too ;)

And yet he had the most tries scored by his back line as a Bok flyhalf (per match) than later fly halves (Stransky, Honiball) … Danie Gerber, Carel du Plessis to name just two back line “greats” who played in the back line Naas marshaled. And they were not team mates of his at a provincial (state) level. He was peerless as a general - great vision/field management and if nothing else was “on” - could drop from almost anywhere on the field. The truth is all the teams that played against him - knew - he was the GOAT and they would almost (like Bradman) be playing against 16 instead of 15 because of his ability to score points. And no - I am not a BlueBull supporter (I am a Lions supporter) - but I can recognize that he was strategically and tactically brilliant. As a youngster he was fearless - but his Coach at the Bulls taught him to stay back out of the fray, to deliberately take the ball and manage field possession. Brains over brawn. That kind of nous a person like Dan Carter and Grant Fox appreciated.

At least you learnt the Afrikaans word for the ABs last 15 minutes.

@@petes9524 Hilarious 🤣😂

Man I hate your comment, but I have to agree, the ref was shocking.

Excuses won't get you anywhere

😭😭🏆🏆🏆🏆

The ref is Irish, ain't no way he's ever gonna paddle with the Boks.... We tried 😂

The french are still crying. Its a tradition at this point. 😂

. I believe he coached Indian men's rugby team in 2019.

🥴🥱🤐

😂😂😂 how desperate can you get

@@shaheempashua6924 pro sport doesn't have sports fixing??????? Pffff what ever, i listened to an hour long show on this radio station about sports fixing and how it will be noticeable in rugby and other new Zealand professional sports, money talks bs walks , see just like i was saying the spring bok fans are disrespectful to All blacks and all black fans and new Zealand as a country, tell me i didnt see 2 world cups worth of insulting springbok fans in you tube , not very humble in victory like us kiwi's oh well thats you guys huh??

@@Insert.anger50 listen to you I mean it's nauseating listening to you insult us at every corner yet look at you what level you have to stop to everytime your team loses a game We've beaten you four times in a row now if I'm not mistaken guess we buy our way to success and you work your ass off That's why you expect (as if it's in the rules of the game) for teams to stand and be intimidated for a few minutes by arguably the greatest rugby team in the history of the game before the start of every game You guys are conceited and sore losers

Humble in victory maybe, certainly not humble in defeat. Refuse to look at own mistakes, always a long list of excuses. Its the ref for sure who said, go, go kick territory away. Go ahead, just do it or you'll get a red card lol. NZ fans are entertaining.​@@Insert.anger50

🥴🥱😬

Will this help you win a game No doubt

winstonrudman. What Naas knows about rugby,you must still learn .He is a legend !! Now go back to sleep !!

Ok thats fine rather dont listen to what he said, even though they kicked the ball back to us in the end. Fine, ignore what he says because he played boring rugby. If you think you know better, PLEASE dont listen to him! More advantage to the Boks...

@@Treefellow1 commentary on the programme is normally excellent but don`t tell me naas is an iconic boka captain, let me provide clarity Naas is not an ICONIC springbok captain
