I think this game is going to be interesting. I just hope the Boks are not complacent, not with the Irish. We need to be brutally clinical and stamp out authority, particularly in the scrums. I hope that we cottoned onto the dark arts of the Irish in the last game. Kudos to them for giving us uphill in the one department the Boks excel in. (at least in the first half). All in all it has been very nice having the Irish team and supporters here, nice folk. I sincerely hope the the All Blacks play a better game this weekend. The game i saw for them last week was not up to their usual immaculate standard of play. This game also promises to be epic. Well Two Cents, have a cold one on me and have a great rugby weekend. May the best teams win!

@randomlyfactual1943 22 дня назад

Dude that second line: complacency. I've been worried about that all week. As much as I love the Boks and as much as they rise up for the big matches, you get the feeling that they always need a kick in the rear. I hope Rassie got them motivated and mad and gets them to be clinical.

@bernardswart2019 23 дня назад

From what I can see, the last time Ireland lost two consecutive tests was February 2021, given that the NZ maori loss is not considered an official test by IRB? They've definitely been the form team in the last 3 years in World Rugby, if the Boks and the ABs get the job done on the weekend it would definitely feel like a shift in power between North and South. If either Ireland or England win their matches this weekend, they will leave the rsspective shores feeling the happier of the two drawing parties I reckon.

@YOYOTh1s 23 дня назад

@@SmcdMcd-d2k I don't get your complaint then. It is the Boks' winning strategy, it is within the laws of the game, and they are using it effectively. It is up to the opponents to find a way around it and Ireland, Porter in particular, is very good at cheesing the scrums to make it look like their opponents are doing illegal stuff. So the Boks did very well to make sure the Irish front row couldn't get any value out of the hit, and then absolutely dismantled them after. Which shows a lot of skill, strategy, and of course brute strength to get a positive result. That is how you win at professional sport and that is why it is a thing of beauty.

@Natedawg38 23 дня назад

Lowes try was good

@lizzyhanahoe4197 23 дня назад

Ahh very interesting what you told us about Nigel Owen’s analysis of the use of the TMO after the James Lowe try. Then that is despicable that 1. It was used, and 2. That the Ref called for it. Water under the bridge now but ………………

@Hiltok 22 дня назад

Even if Nigel Owens is right that the TMO should not have intervened, it was still the decision of the onfield ref to agree with him. I've seen more and more refs look at footage shown by the TMO and come to a different decision than the one the TMO suggested. The decision was ultimately the decision of Luke Pearce. My complaint about the TMO was that if he was good enough to spot Kelleher being just off his feet before his boot helped the ball back in a messy ruck, he should have been good enough to see Kolbe offside at the kick-off where he charged down Lowe's clearance kick. But that would have really embarrassed the onfield ref and AR's.

@lizzyhanahoe4197 22 дня назад

@@Hiltok I agree, I really feel that the ref made some really really bad decisions, was he getting a “back hander” or was he nervous of the crowd, or just pro SA? I know SA will say he made bad ones for them also but the ones against the Irish team proved more damaging. Sorry but what are AR’s? I’m still learning 👍

He does not have a good history with Ireland, that's for sure. He was the AR for the Champions Cup final that resulted in Sexton been banned before the RWC. He had made claims against Sexton that the Disciplinary panel rejected and were critical of his claims. He was also responsible as an AR (again) for the yellow card on Beirne in the Wales game in this years 6Ns where he basically bullied the Italian ref Piardi . Again as a AR he was involved in the Scotland game disallowing a try by Furlong where it was impossible for him to see from his position as a AR.He was also an AR in last weeks game with South Africa. Nonetheless, he was the ref for the France game in the 6Ns, which Ireland won.

In-consistent, lazy, wrong and generally a waste of space. But, only a fool couldn't notice that Wayne Barnes was always biased when reffing Irish games. My brothers and sisters used to ring me up before games and say "Did you see who is reffing it". He was so obviously anti-Irish. Maybe a Paddy $hagged his mother while his Dad was away keeping law and order in Northern Ireland in the 70s. But for whatever reason, he was a bigot and an absolute disgrace.

@creekyknee 23 дня назад

When I watched his video and views I agreed with him, but he is easy to agree with because of his style and the way that you assume that he is right cos he is the best ever Rugby Ref. But... I wonder if perhaps he has a sub-conscious pro-NH bias. I'm no expert, but I'll be honest I kind of agreed with the refs decision that he played the play when he shouldn't have. As to whether the TMO should have been called in, I don't know. Nigel seemed to think that the ref should be much more subjective that I think he should be, the rules are the rules.

@eughrologh 23 дня назад

The thing with the ruck one is that the ref is staring at it. In the replays he's more or less in the way looking at the ruck and ball. TMO is surely not meant to give a 2nd opinion but cover things the ref didn't see - unless the ref explicitly asks the TMO to review something they are concerned about.

@Blindside_Flanker 23 дня назад

They didn't have to try find it.. It was clear as day. I would rather that kind of infringement be checked cause it's cheating at the end of the day and we don't want teams focusing on training how to make technical "mistakes", that lead to tries and that they know they will get away with. Set a few examples to show that it won't be tolerated and then maybe ease off a little once the message is clear for all teams.

So, Kolbe's try remains a legitimate try. Even World Rugby's reply to the Irish Report, where they questioned the same incident, was that it was a legitimate try, and the referee acted in the framework of the laws. If you want to change the way the referee handles situations, then change the laws.

@@sbok9481 - your facts perhaps but your interpretation of my comment is wrong. 2 incidents, the 1st is the TMO calling back Lowe’s try for a technical infringement despite the ref not asking for a review. That shouldn’t be in the TMO’s remit. That’s all Owens said and I agree. TMOs shouldn’t have powers to interfere with the game on technical calls that have not been referred to the TMO for review. 2. In Kolbe’s try, the ref shouldn’t have said on field decision is a try, but rather asked the TMO to decide try or no try. In both instances there’s no suggestion that the rules of the game weren’t followed but rather mere opinions of someone who’s very knowledgeable on the laws and highly regarded in WR and me who just enjoys rugby and finds some of the laws debatable and refs decisions questionable. They’re just not your opinions. That’s okay mate, you can have your opinions. Even if it is wrong. But that’s just my opinion.

@Bobbydyland 23 дня назад

I have to say, I was perplexed by Nigel Owen's intervention on this Whistle Watch video. He said that they try should have stood because playing the ball off the ground was "technical". But it directly lead to the try. Go back 2 years, where SA vs Wales, where SA had a try disallowed because Malcolm Marks didn't retreat from a box kick (but had no impact on the try being scored) and that was fine. But diving over the ball, securing it illegally leading to a try isn't something we should come back for? huh? If going off you feet to steal a ball isn't something to be called out then change the law to allow it. But right now it's illegal, so the try was invalid.

@Cpchurch87 23 дня назад

I think the bigger issue is there was so much more going on at that ruck. Kelleher was neck rolled into the ball, he was perfectly legal before that, questionable entries from both sides, Aki possibly going off his feet. I think all us fans want is consistency, whatever the outcome. For the record, I don't think the try should have stood, but I do think Ireland were unlucky not to be given a penalty for the neck roll on Kelleher. It seemed to be the "most serious" of all the offences

@Bobbydyland 23 дня назад

@@Cpchurch87 The Neck roll is contentious for me. A traditional neck roll is performed to clear out someone. It's used as a dangerous way to get an unfair advantage. Like a croc roll. But Kelleher puts his head though Le-Roux arms and pushes him off balance. He's clearing Le Roux out. It's not a straightforward neck roll, since he arguably did it to himself. Is a high tackle still a high tackle when the ball carrier bends over and dives at the knees of a tackler? No, it's not viewed that way. And I think this "neck roll" was the same.

@Cpchurch87 23 дня назад

@@Bobbydyland I never usually watch his stuff, but TAS analytics has a video with the entire incident slowed down. Just watch the video and take an objective view yourself. For me it’s a clear neck roll. I’d be interested to hear your view after watching it

@@Cpchurch87 I get why it looks like one to many people but I don't think it is one. Got to the time stamp below and use the . key to go forward frame-by-frame. Kellerher puts his head into Le-Roux arm-pit and pushes him off balance, making Le Roux grasp as he falls backwards (a reflex action). If Le roux arrived after Kellerher and pushed him off the ball using a grip around the neck, then yes.

@Bobbydyland I guess it comes down to interpretation. For me, an arm around the neck is an arm around the neck. Good discussion though, thanks for the honest dialogue. Not for a second am I dismissing SA or their win. Fantastic team, and well worth the win. I guess I just want to see consistency. There were plenty of infringements from both sides at that ruck. That's the one that was called, and we live with that and move on. But world rugby have a serious issue in their hands as fans demand better standards, but also want a free flowing game! Tough one to balance

@creekyknee 23 дня назад

Great preview Mark. I know that Karl Dickson is English but he can't be bad as Pearse from a fair play perspective. Pearse was a waste of space, frankly he was embarrassingly biased. He made Wayne Barnes look fair. Storm Beryl is causing Havoc in the Caribbean but there is a storm going to be un-leashed this weekend which will pummel the Bokkes. I expect Ireland to win by at least 10 points, they have a point to prove and are better than this SA side. James Ryan and Ringrose are going to mesmerize a very average SA side. Every action has a reaction and the reaction is going to be brutal this weekend for the poor South Africans. Normality will be restored on Saturday.

It's a new EU 🇪🇺 directive because Ireland is the only English speaking country inside the EU 🇪🇺 migration from South Africa is much larger from there than most African countries except Nigeria 🇳🇬, who by the way have taken up rugby in Ireland, we just banned XL Bully Dogs too but it has nothing to do with Saffa fans...coming to Ireland either.

@Analytical2000 23 дня назад

Somehow or other, I don't think the Irish government are very big rugby supporters. Looking at which sports they prioritize funding should address that concern. Irish migration policy is that of the EU, meaning it is also the same for France and Italy. The reason I suspect for the change with that policy is due to the number of South Africans wishing to leave South Africa for economic reasons. It is somewhat funny that South Africans are leaving South Africa in their droves to the EU , especially as South Africa is one of the World's wealthiest nations, a member of the G20 and of BRICS and yet they can't support their own people.

I do not always agree with the bomb squad coming on like that. It has a great visual and probably some psychological part to play, but someone like Kolisi and Kwagga was playing well and think needed more game time. Plus it put us in a difficult siutation if we did get some forward injury, as just over half the game was still to play. So a bit of gamble there by Rassie. Would rather have seen Sacha come on earlier and save Pollard for Durban, and get him some extra practice time to sorting out that kicking :-) Let's hope that the quality goes up this week, as they the same team now should have had some time to gel a bit more.

@garethnaude1175 22 дня назад

To say the TMO shouldn’t have come in for a technical call on that Ireland try… who decides that? If the TMO is instructed to review everything in the build up to a try (as instructed for this series), and he spots something, does Nigel really expect him to say: “I spotted what I believe is an infringement and I need the ref to see it, but it’s kinda technical so let’s just skip it.” Seriously????
