Got the excitement going for this next lions tour can’t wait

Joe Marler is a bloody legend ❤️

Thoracic like quasimodo 😂

I’ll ignore it. 😂

Hello Joe Marler

Why are league players such good union coaches?

Tbf he does look like he needs a PK 😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Joe Marler is a legend 👍👍👍

this is golden content! Squidge needs to get more gigs on tv

Pollard is the only Springbok backline player who doesn't have a question mark next to his name. His track record speaks for itself : 1. RWC 2015 - highest points scorer. 2. RWC 2019 Final : scores 20 points. 3. RWC 2023 Final : scores all 12 points. All of the above, achieved by the age of 29. The man is a Legend.

That was a great talk. Good to see the deeper delve into the emotions of club teammates who take on each other in a World Cup semi final.

It's so annoying that I'm loving watching three Tigers legends chat (being a Saints fan!)😊 Great Ep. Could have gone another 3hrs

Joe not camel toe mouse knuckle 😂😂😂

Poes Klap 🤣🤣

These tweets are horse shit Joe is class

PK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Too good!

PK - All the South Africans might know what this means...🤣🤣

Third team is where it’s at 😎

Great guy thanks for being so humble you won the world cup for us twice ❤❤

Squide should host a rewatch party

South Africa is the most technical team in the world - trash talk by Coles!

Great chat Guys, thanks! I don’t think Handre gets enough credit for how pivotal he’s been in both the Boks World Cup wins.

Where are the quickfire questions though?! Want to know who his rugby idols were growing up!

My.hero..

Gareth Edwards and Phil Bennett should get a shout for arguably being the first great 9/10 pairing.

I played a couple of games with Martin when he played for Tihoi a country club in Rural NZ King County Comp 1990

LET YOUR GUEST SPEAK!!!!!!!

Love the Pod men.. as an Irish man never thought I'd enjoy listening to Johnson so much 😅

This is wonderful to hear. Important message and it’s good players took it to heart. Certainly sounds like they did. How awesome is Rassie??

A brilliant podcast, Thank you. A great honest description of how the sport/rugby has changed over the years.

Pushing it here but I think he had to be your best guest No disrespect to any other but just great

After Squarespace we need Converse Shoes to sponsor Squidge.

That's exactly where Rassie gets his mojo . No country in rugby has a load as heavy as the Springbok players to leave everything on the pitch. The whole squad buys into Rassie 100 and taking whatever our country is going through and use it as a chip on their shoulders . Now imagine a very good side that plays with such heart every game, I don't think the world is appreciating how great of era we are experiencing in real time. There's no team I envied like those McCaw All Blacks, you just couldn't hate them cos of how good they were.

I’m hooked, I’ve only ever had a go at joe marler when we play against England. Purely and simply because that’s the oppositions hardest looking player. But the next game against England will be strange. It’s quite disarming to know that all guys are actually really cool. Dude I died laughing at the thought of joe with his shirt tucked in on debut. Nice one though thanks for content

It took me way longer than it should’ve to recognize the hosts were like, ONLY some of the worlds best rugby players… played in a wc semi a JUST under a year ago and I’m listening away thinking “I wonder who’s hosting or what’s the show this is on? I look and I’m embarrassed to say, I knew I knew both faces but I couldn’t place where from. I just went to bed immediately after that England semifinal… What lovely guys though. Last year, to me for the time around the semi they were just “big Dan coles and that bloody youngs” sorry not sorry I’m just a fan and that’s how it goes when the final is so close. I was spouting out vitriol aggressively the last time I saw these two, but that game was really not a fun watch, I think I just wiped it from memory….feel a bit shitty now... In fairness to me though, I don’t think too much about the English rugby team outside of test matches. Just btw this content is EXACTLY what’s interesting to fans who wonder what it must be like. I mean, I was captivated. I watch football and the personality around the game has gone. Interviews and podcasts are all the same questions and answers. I loved hearing how strange that congratulations/commiserations moment was. That’s what normal fans are interested in hearing about. Right there, the stuff that we can genuinely only imagine. Polly, you the man. Youngsy. Coles. nice one boys. Oh ok Yeah I also listened to the Martin Johnson pod, also wicked. Also never actually looked a the screen, but I never missed a word. Yeah man this podcast, I’m here for it. Appreciated kindly

What a gentleman, absolute respect and regards for Jonno, such an aspirational leader.

Jonno looks really well & spoke very fondly of the past. Nice guy

He’s some man for one man.

Are you getting paid for this??? Jonno did it all himself lol. 😂 Great pod great guest. You guys are smashing this pod casting malarkey.

From springboks fan, the best EUROPEAN not just English, captain of all time. I recall losing 53-3 at twickenham before the World Cup thinking that “we actually just can’t compete”. We were utterly smoked. While it sounds really arrogant now (I was maybe 12 at the time - forgive me) , the whistle blew and I thought “they really could win this” because Unless I’m mistaken, it was publicly stated a year or two before that that was the plan. The big one. England. I just will never forget how inevitable it felt by the time it happened, and how all the tri-nations teams were going to end the dream surely. NEVER HAPPENED. Also, that was not a European World Cup, it was Australia right? I would say that it may be the most impressive World Cup campaign. (1995 is a bit difficult for me to be objective about, South African) they’re all different though I suppose and none should be downplayed. But something about just knowing that if you want to win it all, how do you beat England? And not having the answer… 2019 and 2023 when the boks beat England. I knew somehow that they would. My friend kept telling people not to worry because it’s not the wilko Johnson team. Which doesn’t really make sense as a reason why we’ll beat England, but that’s just some anecdotal evidence to support what I’m saying. We don’t ever have a fixture against England where South African fans don’t bring up the 03 team in some way. That team to me is easily the best English rugby team. You can lose any match but I’ve never felt more helpless than that 53-3 game. Springboks have good and bad eras. It’s part of the game. But only two losses felt truly embarrassing to me. The all blacks game right before rassie took over. AND BLOODY JOHNSONS ROSES. The game misses you sir. I’m subscribing no doubt thanks for the content fellas. I really enjoyed this

Im convinced if siya ran for president he could win😂

Love Jonno, had a captain just like that. Playing against the Royal Marines ina 7s plate final. Up by 1 point, defending the line and the ref calls the captains for a last warning for us. Our skipper, "how long left Sir?". Ref "last play". Our skipper pushed the opposition skipper, 14 man melee ensues, Ref, "Fuck it, that'll do", blows the final whistle. Plate final winners! Best skipper shithousery ever!😂😂

The 🐐 of captains

Found it fitting that when they were ribbing Joe about ending on 99 caps his head is smack between 99! haha.

Jonno at his most relaxed legend

What a fantastic episode! Please get Jonno back in again. He has such a balanced view on subjects it's great to hear what he has to say on things.

I don’t believe it. A scrum half who was kept quiet. Has that ever happened before?

And everyone always thinks it’s progress as we go on through time. Those wonderful memories back from the 70’s through to the 90’s seem to be just what rugby should always be about at its best. I met with Andy Ripley on holiday a long time back, and he told me some wonderful events which a mere club player could only ever dream about, back then. What is in the dream now? Ice baths and loads of money with the threat of redundancy looming in the background. No one can dream of playing at ‘Twickenham’ any more. Obviously historic moments will continue, but will it ever be the same? I recall watching the Lions under the leadership of the New Zealand coach, and it was obvious that they were exhausted before the starting whistle. At that time they had enough individual skills to have played the opposition off the field without being over trained. I saw it at the time as a plot against the Northern Hemisphere.
