The Rugby Championship | Australia v South Africa - Round 3 Highlights 

Absolutely! As a neutral to this competition, I’m glad to see it’s no longer a case of the ABs turning up to collect the trophy every year. Hopefully it stays this competitive

Yeah the AB started with a 10 point advantage in every game, simply for being who they are. Now teams will run on the field with an expectation to win rather than hope.

Yup. As much as it pains me to see the ABs struggling, I am enjoying the increased competitiveness. The Pumas have always been my second favorite team, so watching them do so well this year has been a treat.

Faf deserved that penalty. But is is sad to see the first soccer style acting an injury by the Ozzie scrum-half. I hope it does not become fashion.

Agreed. finally actual test matches. This parity will actually improve the game.

F word off.. greetings from argentina 😂😆🤪

@@ntombiemafuleka291 That's definitely the spirit Buddy.

Nah, south has learnt from the northern tours down south. The refs are much more like.y to penalize heavily if you go down like you’re shot. The saffas are pretty good at it too so fair dinkum to white.

@@ozmanoshe it's the end of rugby ..I stopped watching soccer for that reason...rugby next...it was pathetic...

lmao. he went down like he got knocked out.

@@Xavier.1.. I thought Faf was tackling him while he was having a heart attack or a seizure.

@@muztert 🤣

Absolutely pathetic

Disagree. He was hit in the face. If we want to watch people get hit in the face, then we might as well go watch boxing

@@cam5736 very dramatic. Did the 2 or 3 fingers that hit him in the face cause his delayed, theatrical collapse? No, therefore a dive.

​@@pauljansen6650 should it be a pen though? Absolutely. 9's just making sure the ref sees it and doesn't let FAF away with his skullduggery. Bit too much drama but overall fair enough. But the real question, what caused the delayed, theatrical collapse of Boks in the match? If you believe the fans on some of these channels. It's the ref! Always the ref!

It’s a great tackle and a massive statement at the same time. Really sets a tone and unsettling for the opposition.

Love how he didn't even attempt to use his arms either

@@oliverhunter9495 Love how he didn't use his arms and should've got at least a yellow

Shouldv benn a penalty try and yellow

No arms in the tackle. If he was in a Bok jersey he would have been yellow carded and a penalty try would have been awarded.

I don't think it's nerves. they are just poor and overrated/stuck in the past a bit.

@@mikeonthetube79 I partially agree. Old habits do die hard. They sometimes want to revert back to their old playing style where they get physical with forwards to wear out other teams' defences before spreading the ball out wide. However, there are days where they can be lethal and play fast-paced intelligent rugby. On these days the ball doesn't just sit mainly with their forwards close to the ruck. Check out their rugby championship game where they played against New Zealand at Mbombela Stadium on 06th August 2022 and won. Lukhanyo AM was just pure class. Lukhanyo AM is the current best outside centre in the game. They have so many players who play overseas e.g Europe, so it's only logical to presume that their playing style will change and evolve over time. Finally, I want to add that I see South Africa as an "upset" team. When a big game comes up or they are in the "mood" to play, they have a way of pulling off a huge win.

@@mikeonthetube79 i am a South African and you are million % correct.

SA are overated boring side well done australia

@@shane-irish Australia sure was boring in Argentina mate... so embarrassing

Exactly

Your analysis is spot on. I'm a Springbok supporter and the last two performances have been very disappointing. We are in trouble. Some players are not pitching for the game which is a problem. Rassies proxy coach Nienaber is out of his depth. He was a good defense coach but as head coach he is out of his depth. Looking at Argentinas performance over the All Blacks then I think we are in serious trouble in this series. The "game plan" is outdated and any decent coach will work out a counter. It took Foster one game to learn how to counter and I don't rate him as a good coach. The Bok players and coaches need to do some serious introspection and Rassie needs to adapt the pattern and get it through to Nienaber to get it through to the team before next weekend. A tall ask but if he doesn't get that right look forward to a record loss next week to a confident Australian team. Well played Wallabies. You deserve the win and we didn't.

Springbok tactics are straight forward, grind teams down using the biggest most powerful forwards in rugby, hope to get a little break here and there , but if its even close to parity up front , then their plan doesn't work , teams like NZ/Aus simply have a better running game, and will outscored them with tries.

@@johndonson1603 it's just this 15s Springbok team. You wouldn't say so about SA rugby watching the URC or the Blitzboks.

True, the never look like they are going to score a lot of points.

Any of 8 teams could win it.

@@PB22559 it always seems that way and then either nz/sa win it. the good teams save their best for the wc. been through this many times since i was a kid:)

@@richardsylvester6483 Nah. It never seemed that way until now. NZ were unbeatable for most sides. Now, that aura is gone, even if they do improve, the opposition know they've beaten them before. Sport is mental first, physical second. Teams like France, Ireland, England and Wales will have no fear facing the southern hemisphere sides in KO stages in France. France will be favorites to win it outright. They're the best side in the world and I say that as an Irish supporter.

@@PB22559 You forgot Scotland...

@@PB22559 I’m not sure 8 can win it but I think 7 could beat anyone on their day. It is looking like the most unpredictable and open tournament ever.

All 3 games deserved too. The Aussies just have the Bok number in Aus no matter how bad the Aus form is perceived

They were Champs in 2019...after today I lost hope in our coaching staff...no way we can defend our WC with a fool like Nienaber...wtf????

@@sakabula2357 he's pretty decent. A few mistakes lately, but I think he'll be back soon. SA have had difficulty with Australian play for some reason. Rolled the all blacks two games ago, and arguably lost due to not subbing strategically enough.

@@sakabula2357 SA still a force to be reckoned with. Can the retain the cup? Id say for southern hemisphere, theyre the only hope tbh. I dont see Aus or NZ performing. The Irish are coming along nicely, regardless of ABs performance

@@benvaughan3392 I think peoples hands are tied when the team is being picked , also it doesn’t help 75% of your good players play in the NH where the money is fantastic especially in France and No Hassle.

It was a blatant dive too, you could see him deliberating about it for a split second. He's lucky he didn't get carded.

Can they cite the behavior after the game? I think he should be suspended for at least a couple of games for bringing the game into disrepute. The last thing we rugby fans want is the game to follow soccer, it needs to be swiftly and loudly punished.

all in all it was a fantastic soccer game, the Aussie player making rugby look bad, and a no arms, try saving tackle not carded. Springboks by no means should have won, but things like this cannot start to happen in international rugby.

@@maree82carm44 de Klerk is the player most deserving of what he got in the world of rugby

Great try, but the "try saver" was a no-arms tackle that should have been binned and a penalty try given. Shocking from the ref.

@@Martin-pb7ts relax bro he did use his arms..mapipi was too light and flew before the arms could go around him. Didn't help that he tried to jump as well

@@Martin-pb7ts Shuddup 😂😂😂😂😂 he got smashed in a good tackle,just accept it mate

@@Martin-pb7ts when?

At that speed obviously the shoulder would hit first then the arms. 😂😂 What else you’d expect Marika to do. Push Him😂😂

3 weeks ago their punters and fans thought they were invincible.

Agree. I wish our guys would stop dropping heads though when the refs are asses. Its your job, get up and perform.

I agree Nic White milked that one, but Faf didn't swing his arm 'accidentally' - it's a cheap shot from him and he deserved the yellow card.

@@uberboiz is Fan’s game, every game

Wallabies have a better record in the rugby championship/tri nations than the Springboks

Ill tackle you like that and we will rediscuss

your the first person so actually apply some logic holly shit...

I hope you never have to go through the physical trauma that Nic White had to go though yesterday. Will take years of physical and metal rehabilitation to get through this...

Some stupid calls from the ref either the springboks play shit or the ref is against us.

@@iceheathen6439 boringgg stop blaming the ref you just aren't good atm

🤣💀

1. Marika tries to rap with his left arm and his bicep actually makes contact with mapimpi’s thigh 2. White actually got hit in the head and it’s what you expect form a 9. (Faf does the same) Faf made direct head contact and was lucky to get a yellow. Koribete last year was first shoulder contact which caused the outrage.

His name is not Bakkies Botha.

I was expecting them to have a look at that.

Left arm was clearly out. Since when did SA fans become so soft and one-sided?

And if it was a Red, people would be arguing that he wrapped his arms and Mapimpi jumped in the air and rugby has grown soft.

@@paulfitz6614 hahaha and Nic White soccer dive?

@@paulfitz6614 I'm Irish. 🙌🇮🇪

Aye, he's a bloody handful for sure. Terrific speed, power and sheer ability. Awesome player. Pure World Class. from a non-Oz.

That tackle on Mapimpi was explosive👌🏾

@@Weezy-zy9qy and clearly no use of arms at all. Great game, but that should have been a card.

@@Weezy-zy9qy yeah - changes the game of rugby that (as long as ALL are allowed to do it!). Forget the arms aka Owen Farrell as well! But it has to be fair to all to use. I can imagine a few hurt people if the refs overlooked Samoa and Fiji and South Africa allowed to employ the same types of tackle techniques - which today should have been red carded but hey! Referees view it differently - and straight after this Faf get a yellow fit tickling Madonna Nic Whites mustache?

@@trevorhartwig9871 hard to wrap when he’s hit him that hard he starts to fly off the pitch, intention to wrap was there I think just the power of the impact made it impossible.

Absolutely agree, that’s got to be one of the best performances I’ve seen in a while

100% agree.

Absolutely

Buen resultado hoy para vosotros en NZ. El mundial del año que viene va a ser muy interesante. Por primera vez en su historia, habrá 8 equipos que pueden ganarlo- Francia, Sud Africa, Irlanda, Argentina, Inglaterra, Nueva Zelanda, Australia, Gáles...

wrong about tackle, right about slap

Faf was clearly trying to steal Nick White’s stick on moustache. Straight red imho.

@@DarkSlug he wanted to caress his chin and have a romantic moment lad

France are head and shoulders above every other nation at the moment. If they don't win the WC it'll be their own fault and nobody else's.

He's a brilliant winger but not sure I'd assert that over the last 3-4 years. In those years Penaud, Radradra, Kolbe, all high class. Even May was top of his game 18-19

The Bok was trying to jump it May style. I think getting wiped out like that is a risk ball carriers take when they try to jump for the line. Hard to blame a tackler when they get low, have arms out, but the ball carrier tries to hurdle them

He forced player out of bounds don't need to tackle a player out of bounds.

@@drewskinator0076 I don't think that's true, you aren't allowed to push a player into touch, you still have to wrap the arms.

@@drewskinator0076 come on bro… that was a full on no wrap tackle. That was not him trying push him out of play.

How can you wrap a tackle when your opponent is trying to hurdle over your tackle 🤔 😀😀

Mapimpi jumped when he should've stepped in off his left foot... Koroibete did attempt to get his arm around him but Mapimpi was already riding his on Koroibete's shoulders. Though I do agree they should've looked at it more then once...

Or Raspberry?

Faf deserves what he got every game he plays

The Boks are never beaten by the better team.

Too bad, players are being scrutinized for the tackles they make, especially defending their line.

@@pitayalataki8472 yea eh that one was a clear red card no wrap and clear shoulder /back charge with no vision!!! The contact point is the tacklers responsibility he totally ignored that.

@@draterlarebil4506 A shoulder charge to his ankles🤣

@@Martin-pb7ts Mapimpi jumped once he saw Marika coming across. Marika couldn't wrap around a jumping player 😃
