Love us,hate us.WE DIDIT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hardest path to the title of any team in history, still never lost a final and now have a 50% RWC title win rate. Just incredible!!
Would have love to had Sam Cane come back on because 15 v 15 is always better.
Ever. And the Boks aren’t scared of anyone’s speed game Matt. They just okay to their strengths
If you guys think the 7-1 split just happened by accident at Twickenham, you’ve not paid attention
Thank the officials on and off the pitch😂
@@GarrettReynolds-nt4df Kicked 50% of their kicks at goal, kicked multiple kickable penalties to the corner and failed to capitalise, but sure, let's blame the officials for *not* allowing infringements on either side to go unpunished.
Spat on us from start to finish, winning this WC makes it so much sweeter. ❤🇿🇦
Who? SA was one of the favorites by most pundits. FRA SA or Ireland
@@christopherodonovan you were not following the studio pundits I presume…
@@TerbrugZondolop I was. I am pretty sure in this video they also said they love the 7-1
@@TerbrugZondolop you can't assume Aussie pundit Matt Williams speaks for the rest of us, he doesn't, listen to Shane Horgan, and Rob Kearney, both praised the bravery of the 7/1 split, all they said is that it was brave, but also risky, which it was, but it ultimately paid off. The springboks were worthy and deserving winners, having had to play all the top teams along the way, contrast that with the A/B"s and their much easier route, having to play only 2 top sides in France, in the pool stages, and Ireland in the Q/F.
@@conoconnor4375to be fair Hooper said South Africa from the start! 😊
While many were busy criticising us for who we are, we were busy conquering the World. We won 🏆🏆🏆

I chose my side since they were allowed back internationally. That being said, they (we) played the best teams,and defended the smallest margins,that's saying a lot about the mental strength of the team.
Rassie and the Coaching Team - Absolute Geniuses.
Nah, it’s just Rassie the nutty professor. his team are there to implement and manage the madness.
@@bobok1541😂😂 u keep crying
Wrong kant@@bobok1541
@@bobok1541 Rassie harvested the talents of his whole staff, including Deon Davids, Mzwandile Stick (an absolute brilliant 7s player in his day), Daan Human, Andy Edwards and (this is almost too obvious to mention) Jacques Nienaber. Let me also give you good advice: Do not use "nah" as a disagreement with an argument, because most commentators will find that derogatory and offensive.
@@IwasInThe60s Don't forget about Felix Jones.
Pieter Steph du Toit a legend.
Felix Jones… The only Irishman to have won a Rugby World Cup… TWICE! 😎💪🏾✊🏾
Yay 😊💚💛🇿🇦
Felix formed an integral part of the SA coaching staff. I could see what it meant to him in that final
He chose the right team.😉Kudo's to Felix for his great achievements.
Oh and by the way Matt, the boks didn't get 1 scrum penalty in the final, as you predicted, which let us become the world champions yet again!!!!😂😂😂
He'll probably ask for mauls and the 7-1 split to be banned next 🤣
And we were in the lead for 77mins of the game so that statistic wasn’t very useful
And we played with an untested hooker reserve and our line-out was wobbly. But still won.
We did it 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 well done BOKKE we love the hope you keep giving us ❤ from all 62 million South Africans 🇿🇦
Isn't it 52 million?
@con_el_maestro3544 please add the 2.5mil Namibians as well
We beat France by a point, England by a point and the New Zealand by a point,in order to make a point...🎉😊 no risk...no champagne 🍾...
Fortunate for the Springboks. I wouldn’t boast so much because the ABs were down to 14 for half the game and you only win by one point, lol. Look at all the recent games in the Bledisloe cups when the ABs beat the Boks in the last 10 minutes twice.
The Bledisloe cup is due again very shortly and I’m sure the ABs will be out to prove a point.
Rassie Erasmus have a brain to think outside the boks. The players understood the risks involved and was willing to do everything. Pieter-Steff du Toit made 28 hard tackles putting his body on the line.
Nutty professor
he was bred in the Orange Free State, that small province is the best ne in SA, Its the province which breeds stars, up Grey College ,, the school having the most springboks and cricket players
@eisbeinGermany yeah he came from bloem. He was legend with Andre Venter for so long before Andre got sick. I am born and raised in welkom and Virginia but live in Jhb. Yet I never was a cheetahs support but I did have my selected players which never mattered where they were playing their you middle page was all over my room. My brother didn't even did that and that is why I was daddy's little girl the 1 that always get pakslae but priorities were sport
@@eisbeinGermany and swimmer. I swam fs with Ryk Needling
@@eisbeinGermany you do know free state is 1 stop shop for other franchise to buy players🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations SA! Caps off too you. We couldn't be more proud of the All Blacks! 14 men, for much of the game, you played your hearts out lads - I still thought you had it at half-time. You spun the ball, and we left some opportunities on the field. Still - what a tournament 👏 New Zealand 🇳🇿
So sad for Sam
Respect to the ABs - brilliant 2nd half
Stay humble Bokke
What an amazing take
Facts💚💛🇿🇦
A lot is said about the 14-man AB's but South Africa's numbers were also heavily impacted. The 2 yellow cards are obvious. What is less obvious is that in a similar way to the AB's having to tweak their game plan because of the red card, the same applied to SA because with Bongi injured, SA had to bring on a largely untested hooker for 78 minutes. So, the player injuring Bongi got sinned binned for 10-minutes but SA lost its only recognized hooker for 78 minutes and as a result the line-out was dodgy and the performance of the scrum (especially the bomb squad impact towards the end of the guy) was impaired.
Yes. It doesn't get closer than that! Well done guys. Pushed the Boks to the limit even with 14 men!
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦RWC🏆🏆🏆🏆 Proudly South African
Well done South Africa see you next WC
Rassie is a “rugby intellectual giant”!!!🎉🎉🎉
He’s a maverick, takes huge risks. SA got the bounce today. Of the ball and the decisions. Fantastic RWC
and in which province did he learn his rugby ????? Orange Free state, if I remember correctly he attended Grey Collge which breeds so many stars, up Grey College in Bloemfontein,
No, he didn't. He grew up and went to school in Despatch, very close to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape. Same hometown as Danie Gerber. Close to Zwide, which produced Siya Kolisi. Mzwandile Stick is also from the same general area. He simply went to the Free State during the army/for university and then joined the Cheetahs - that was after school. @@eisbeinGermany
4 Time champions ,3 away one at home and we are back to back champions
And one try across all 4 games.
@@dennism5731All four of what games lol?
We scored 2 against England alone in 2019 if you are talking about scoring in WC finals...
and the Springboks played two less RWCs then NZ, missing out on the 1987 and 1991 tournaments.
No risk, no champagne 🍾
How does that humble pie taste Matt Williams?
I know it's a little salty from the tears but hopefully you'll develop the ability to be less of a bitter doos.
#GoBokke🇿🇦
As an Irish person who has little regard for Matt Williams, and his outdated rugby outlook, I agree 👍 💯 with everything you've just said!
@@conoconnor4375 The Irish are brothers in the struggle of freedom for us & Palestine. So thank you sir.🇿🇦✊🇮🇪✊🇵🇸
I thought punditry was meant to be firm but fair, clearly Matt didn't get the memo when it comes to the lot of us.
I say, scrap him & get Roy Keane.
He might not be the most knowledgeable panelist but at least we know the only bias opinion he has, is toward Dennis Irwin!

@@Deencat_ ya Ireland had its own struggles with foreign invaders and occupiers, so respect to the gazan's,and the Palestinians in their struggle for freedom
New Zealand won it in 1987, South Africa only started playing in 1995 and have now won it 4 times.Guess who has the better strike rate
Yes exactly, SA have played 2 less W/C tournaments than the A/B"s, and still have one more trophy 🏆 win. Great strike rate, and return 👏

Rob Kearney is an exceptionally good commentator
The funniest thing you can do is listen to a coach with a 17% win record "educate" a coaching duo who has won 2 world cups between them. Matt williams was a terrible coach and an even worse pundit.
Daarsy. Williams is such a wit kant
Where is grumpy grumpy old Matt Williams now, what do you say now😂😂😂😂
“Who dares wins” SAS (South Africa Springboks)
I really like what Shane is saying..The game sometimes evolves with time in different aspects of it and SA is doing it the way they think is going to work. Using the bench to maximise their strengths.
The 7-1 split had me worried especially for our backline,having only Le Roux on the bench was insane💣but it worked🇿🇦❤
We are the champions 🎉🎉🎉🎉
No SA team trusts manie and he has been outstanding. The selection was just based on experience and weather conditions.
I believe whole heartedly that the South African culture drives winning performances. Add to that the coaches and players talent and you have giants to beat.
Plus 65 million to beat , its a huge rugby nation
Rob Kearney needs to remain a commentator/pundit he has the most balanced nous.
Yes absolutely, he's very fair, very balanced, and looks at it intelligently, from a players perspective, having played the game until relatively recently, he understands the nuances, and the way the game isn't standing still, it's constantly evolving and changing as the best rugby coaches, like Rassie, and Jacques push the boundaries of innovation, and new ideas. Well done Boks 👏 from an Irish person, nice to see the contribution Felix Jones brought to the springboks backline play, a munster man from Ireland picking up a 2nd World Cup winners medal.
An absolute descent and intelligent human being. Massive respect from South Africa.
Well Matt, results are in. This is why you do not have Rassie job, way out of your league.
Watching this with 20/20 hindsight.
Yes, it was a huge gamble. I hoped that the 7-1 bench split was something that we would use as a mind game. When I saw that Jacques was actually playing it IN THE FINAL, I have to admit that I was slightly worried.
The saving grace though, is that we have a bona fide sevens star in Kwagga Smith on the bench and he would be able to do a decent - if not spectacular - job of covering the midfield in case of an injury. So I guess that kind of makes it a 6.5/1.5 split.
Then there are a few other things to mention. The hosts did talk about South Africa's hard route to the final (through Ireland, France, England only to meet New Zealand) but also remember that we had a major blow when we lost Lukhanyo Am before the World Cup and then when we lost a game breaker in Marx. To top it all off, we had a misfiring flyhalf in Manie Libbok. Thinking back on all of these points, its a miracle that South Africa even made it to the final.
Nienaber sure did take an almighty gamble but strong men makes bold decisions and you don't get much bolder than that bench call.
In your head in your head
Rassie Rassie 😅
"Its coming home" 😂😂😂😂
I get why Matt was such a poor coach -- zero imagination, the thing that's needed to achieve at the upper echelons of any endeavor in life. Don't hate, Matt. Just get better.
Facts
Matt's a proper tosser!
So true
And bang average player too! 🎯
Lol
The only thing they couldn’t see, is the more you wish against SA the more it galvanises us and the more unbeatable we become
the more you say we,
the more we want it
Bokke won , and the split worked
1:27 MVP…. Look at the focus in the eyes of the Tiger!
And there you go mr Matt. We did it again back to back.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Boring people dont think outside the box. Dont know if something will work or not until you have tried it. Legends Jacques and Rassie. Matt retire. Go on a date with mike Tindall and compare notes
Everytime the world thinks the boks will lose.. They win. "Best place to be is underestimated"... And that's their secret... From now on say The boks will win 😂😉like how everyone believed they'd win ireland in the group stages
Rassie is the best to ever do it
Thanks Matt Williams for your views. BOKKE!
Best unorthodox self believing rugby forward pack ever.
GO cry in a corner Matt😭😭😭😭😭😭, SA double champs, beat France, Eng and NZ who are all ranked in the top 5 in the world to win the cup, incredible!!!
I like your program. Excellent commentators who cover all the available perceptions. Brainy, wise, insightful, and unemotional comments. Top-drawer channel with top-drawer commentators. It was delightful and insightful to include your channel in my 2023 RWC pleasure. You made my experience better. Thank you guys!!!
Matt Williams must be very negative now since the team he hates the most just became the world champions for another 4 long years😂😂😂😂
EXACTLY 💯!
Matt Williams - Voetsek!
Pretty sure Matt Williams' love of his life ran off with a South African.
Boks never scared of AB
Its respect and knowing our game
The springbok was faster than the kiwi. Danko💥
#proudlysouthafrican 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤❤
Delighted for South Africa. Munster Ireland 🍀.
All of these commentators watch the team selection from an egotistical perspective - the Springboks is a squad and each player knows their strengths and weaknesses. Manie was not sacked - he massively served the team in all of our other games!!
Suig SA se peel boys. Back to back baby. I’ve been watching these guys since the start of the WC all of you guys hate SA and honestly you’re the fuel to the fire that won us this tournament. See you in 4 years. Cheers
Rob said that South Africa would win, You must have missed all the praise he heaped on your team. Us Irish love the South Africans. Well done from Munster Ireland 🍀.
And the Munster monsters, Jean and the" Viking" did South Africa and Munster proud@@christinaforde4101
why is nobody talking about how a 5-3 split means you have a lock and two loose forwards putting in an 80min shift. The intensity of those positions over an 80min period means a 6-2 split is far more desirable. South Africa has adopted the 7-1 split because it suits us tactically and because we have the depth to do it. If other teams had South Africa's depth they may consider trying it.
South Africa appeared in only 8 rugby World cup's and won 4 jeez imagine if they'd played in 10 😢😂😂 could've been 6 world cup's .
Well done South Africa.
Interesting discussion, thank you. Like all risk management, one cannot just look at the outcome of one match and state it was the "right" decision or not. One of the risks mentioned in the video (one of the 2 hookers being replaced with a good goal kicker early in tournament) did eventuate when the only hooker (Mbonambi) got injured by an AB forward early in the final. That affected the Springboks' lineouts badly, of course. That risk (replacing hooker with goal kicker) had to be made of course, the potential benefit was bigger than the risk.
And Rassie indeed came out as the rugby intellectual giant...
I think I have to go have a few drinks with my Irish mates and go swimming in the collective tears (and talking about the refs rubbish decisions) 😂 lol
Well done to the mighty bokkies Warriors. 🎉🎉 🎉
🏆 🇿🇦 🏆 🇿🇦 🏆 🇿🇦 🏆
They hung in there and they deserve they win. This was the most competitive World Cup and they deserve the win, the number 1 status and free drinks tonight. That’s for sure.
I’m happy with that outcome.
All Blacks ultimately played better overall but the the boks hung on and we didn’t get the rub of the green with Barnes calls.
I put $2,000 on the bokkies to win in 2019 and won $18,000 (which is why I put $18,000 on the table for the all blacks to win in night)
I thought the boks held on but I think this is a game the all blacks lost. Discipline and a few missed kicks. Flip of a coin.
My winning record for picking games drops to 88%. I’m happy with that. Big loss and now I’ve got half the money I had before in my TAB account. No regrets though. I’ll stick to the numbers system I have. The boks definitely defied the odds here and truly dug deep.
I did make a tiny bit back as I put $100 on Jordan, Jordie, Telea and Beauden Barrett to score a try (Beauden scored)
Du Toit was exceptional. He was a sniper on defence. Definitely the man of the match.
Kwagga was powerful too. Faf was brilliant. Cheslin was brilliant. Eben was huge.
I’ll bite my tongue with speaking of a certain English man’s impact on the game as we can talk about those things for four years and now is time to celebrate for the rainbow nation.
What a game. I really enjoyed that one. The boks backline really stood up.
With the red card and two yellows, I did think we outplayed the boks to hang on, yet it is certainly not a hard thing for me to celebrate that win. What it means for the country is huge and as I said before, the boks are my second favourite team.
The hope and boost of positivity is something I am thrilled with for the peoples of South Africa and I joy in that impact which is more than this game.
I actually had to stop myself from cheering when Siya came back on after his yellow card. I love that guy and his journey of recovery is a miracle. He is the spiritual leader of the boks.
This one was a hard loss that we had in our hands to take. My heart was happy with that win though. I know it doesn’t make sense but some understand it.
Go the bokkies 🇿🇦 🍻 🇳🇿
Enjoy the next few years. Hopefully we meet again in 4 years. What a game. Wow. So grateful to even be having this chat.
Cheers 🍻
Fantastic assessments!
2023 Springbok team is the best team ever on rugby history!!!!
We need to see what was said after the game. The full picture
MATTY MY BOY yes we were fatigued BUT you forgot one thing mate we were also BATTLE HARDNED and that is what counted in the end 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Viva BOKKIE four times WORLD CHAMPS.
Rassie and Nienaber brilliant !!!!
Matt Williams is the only person that can make onions cry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wasn't worried for a minute about the 7-1split. Rassie's picks for the Boks squad were mostly utility players. Infact, Rassie went as far back as grade school & high school in that respect. Absolutely brilliant!
I REAALLLYYY hope Matty rewatches this at some point
Stop crisizing THE BEST in World rugby..jus take notes!.. we won!!!!🎉 viva Bokke!
Rob you are a genuine purist! Calling a spade a spade. Hope to see you commenting or coaching 👍🏻
We've got bragging rights for the next 4 years but guaranteed some fans from some national teams will be saying the usual " Boks don't deserve to be WC Champions", " Boks play boring Rugby" and so on. Ag, nevermind. ✌💚💛🇿🇦
I think you should take everything Matt says with a pinch of salt. Looking at his track record as coach he is no position to criticize and comment on selections and decisions made by any of the coaches of the top 4 ranked teams.
IMO the division between northern and southern hemispheres, isn't the division to understand if you want to win the RWC. There are cultures that believe in producing teams that play for a greater good and cultures that are broadly skeptical about a single unifying narrative. Cup rugby interestingly seems to reward the former consistently.
Sour grapes Matt Williams will have sleepless nights
No DNA just RSA 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
We did it🎉 two Bul can't stay in one kraal thank South Africa
oh Matt please come out with the Irish in June You were the Extra man the Boks needeed
How do those words taste? 😂
Love watching these panels after the game😂wonder if they eating humble pie after we won 🏆
Love how they always forget Kwagga. He’s a 7’s player with speed and strength. Cmon guys.
Thank you Ireland for not picking Jean Klein. Thank you aall Blacks for a hell of a game. Thank you Wayne Barnes for tough but fair refereeing. To Matt, forwads win matches, bacjsxdecide by how much. That saying comes from New Zealand. Rugby union has 8 forwards out of 15 players. Untill you can produce a competitive pack you will not manage the war of attrition that is world cup rugby. Trying to eliminate forwards from rugby union is a fools errand. You are no where near qualified to pronounce for those who love and understand the game what it should be and shoukd not be.
I het that old geezer is still spewing 2 months later. Love it !
Tonga was "that" game. The physicality in that game was crazy.

South Africa and Springboks are the best 👌 🎉
RASSIE = Exciting Entertaining Rugby !!!
It’s called cup rugby boys. Have a look how much the S.A backline plays in literally any other game. Some of the most lethal backline players on earth. Cup rugby.
We trust all of our players, we just have players for different scenarios and game plans. We went back to back to prove it
Mr. Williams theory on the game of the Springboks . . . I have no words.
We did it. That one in the middle can talk all he wants. We will be busy shining the Rugby Cup here in South Africa.
Clearly "courage" is a foreign concept to Matt. And that's probably why his coaching record is as dismal as it is. He could never understand the South African mindset, he hasn't got the testicular fortitude for it.
Pundits thinking they know more than Rassie and jaques?
Do me a favour.

Best part of the WC when NZ lose, is the comments on why. Springboks were controlling abusive toxic male that cheated on me.
