As a Welsh man I love watching South Africa play always have
They are the best team in the world because they carry the hopes, dreams and perseverance of 60 million people on their shoulders. They don't play for themselves as individuals, but play to unite a nation. Their motivation to be the best, succeed and win is on a level that no other team or nation will ever comprehend. 🇿🇦 United we shall stand 🇿🇦
What an answer....❤❤❤❤
Spot on mate
Is it even a question! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 simply the best, better than all the rest….Stronger together….🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
France will give us a big challenge. We can’t get too cocky. Irish got us in Durban. Don’t get too high on current success.
@@daggaboom France not close!!Ireland on a downward trajectory (Won us in extra time with a drop goal) Ireland have no depth!!
@ you seriously gonna use the excuse that they got us right at the end with just a point or two? As if that’s not how we got the cup? In ‘95, and 3 games in ‘23? Everybody else isn’t as far away from the bokke as all theses cheerleaders are claiming. We’re top of the mountain but everybody else (not wales) is close.
@@daggaboom Ireland close ...yes .BUT HAVE NO DEPTH ! ALWAYS CHOOSING IRELAND'S TEAM FROM 2 CLUBS??? Most sides "look" close to the SPRINGBOKS because RASSIE is experimenting with "3" teams. IMAGINE WHEN HE SELECTS HIS FINAL "SIDE" AND RUNS WITH THEM???
@ dude, stop with the all caps. Crazy people do that and nobody takes them seriously. Depth isn’t what I’m saying. Our depth is crazy but the difference between the players in many positions isn’t much. Hell we can barely agree who is the right person for them in many positions. France have a lot of great players too to fill the team. All this “we are the best” chat is setting us up for a rude awakening that one day will come.
Thank you for promoting SA,
Why you think they promoting SA ? They need money from TH-cam and subscribe like you comment help them to get paid. Why are you not doing the same for your own country and get paid by TH-cam?
Saffa here...Hoya Amabok Bokke🎉🎉🎉🎉
Africa 💪🏾
South Africa*
South Africans rugby players are not bigger than any other teams they just strong and well coached with mentality refusing to lose not going away commitment is 💯 percent with Springboks.
Back in the day all we use to hear from south Africans is how bigger,stronger than everybody else and they were.springbok teams of the past use to stand over and intimidate most teams and that's why I respect how little NZ has stood toe toe and never back down to sa.How a country of with 140,000 registered players can beat a country with 600,000 registered players is bewildering,and they have won 3world cups,
This is 2024 in case you’re still behind switch the lane to catch up Springboks has beaten NZ 4 times two last two 2024 dumb dumb.😂😂
We are still going to dominate you guys for the longest time. I like the iron to iron between the Boks and ABs 100 years memory. This is not going to end now. You could hear that from the under 10 yrs say the all black wouldn't beat my age to come. The rivalries started so early.
Would absolutely love it for the USA rugby team to become successful, the amount of talent there is frightening. I know NFL is there thing, but imagine how good there rugby team would be if they had the same support from their fans like in their NFL. Come on USA, come play some rugby... from a Saffa here 👍
The rugby talent there is from rugby playing nations. NFL talent would never amount to rugby talent. It would be great if USA develops but they will never be a top contender. That requires a century's history and culture.
MxM
No amount of spandex hand egg gridiron will help them, sorry 😂
Bro USA is useless in rugby simply mentality of pads and diapers knee caps they’ve not improved since join rugby teams that join way after them are getting better Argentina Portugal not USA stop telling lies
😂😂😂@@PMGflavour
Boks have played 51 different players this year and most off them have had starts. The depth South Africa has is scary! And whats even more scary is the boks are evolving. They no longer only play forwards based rugby. They nownplay very expensive as well if they need to. Boks are in process off becoming an all round side that can play amy style like the All Blacks off old.
52 actually with Cameron Hanekom.
52 to be precise but you're right
💯🇿🇦 our blood is green with a touch of gold, liking the Springboks is an understatement I love them with a passion 🥰🥰🥰
It’s all about depth. Man to man.
That’s true, South Africa’s A, B and C teams can beat most teams 😭😭
Love springboks ❤ great show
Thank you for promoting South Africa..
Yes the best of the rest as I say the LEGENDS in rugby!!
Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤
Also. I notice each Rugby player knows what the other are doing. When one passes a ball. He knows where the other player is. Its amazing.
Mzansi papa's!!!
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💯🌈👌♥️No doubt about it. It's clear you don't have to ask🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They are kings at the moment, but not by miles. Their self belief, determination, planning and players mean that, at this time, they find away to overcome opponents who are pushing them hard. Who knows what will happen down the line? In the meantime, enjoy watching a super team.
In South Africa we eat something called Boerewors 🇿🇦
As a South African, I will not be satisfied until we defeat the All Blacks in a series in New Zealand, and also win a grand slam again after many decades. Once we do that, I will be happy to wear the moniker as the best rugby country in the world.
You did in 1937. Your best chance is next year. This is the greatest bokke side ever. I doubt you win next year, we weren't too far behind in SA this year, next year we'll be better😊
Rugby is in A good place teams wise ,We have a few great teams from the North and South so next year has to be fakn nuts💪 @@joedennehy386
Yes surr 🤙
@@joedennehy386 Yeah, but the boks were also playing not even close to their best this year. The ABs won't be the only team that's stronger and better next year, the Bokke will be too, just like they're better this year than they were last year, and the trend does not seem like it's going to be stopping anytime soon considering we fielded 52 Different players this year alone and they're all what other countries would consider generational talents whom they'd give an arm and a leg to get
Beat the All Blacks in New Zealand? They haven't done that for 6 years buddy.
They've only done that 3 times since the year 2000
Boks have only won ONE time since the year 2000 against a 15-man All Blacks team at a neutral venue. (that is without the All blacks being red carded)
Nothing better than hearing SA praised. Thank you
There are two titans of world rugby: South Africa and New Zealand. South Africa were the most successful amateur side of all time, boasting a positive win ratio of all they faced, including the All Blacks. The All Blacks are the most successful side in the pro era, boasting a frighteningly good record against every team they've faced, including South Africa.
No other side comes close. No other side ever will come close. Rugby is baked into the DNA of those nations and the people in them understand it better than anyone.
I couldn’t agree with you more two Rivals of a decade in Rugby New Zealand and South Africa the rest are just faffing about to add numbers period All blacks and Springboks are like two brothers when it comes to big tournaments clean out everybody then only two of us let’s dance I love it and respect and loyal they have for each other is implacable two legends.🇿🇦🇳🇿
Bokke only starting to use all of our people. Coloureds ,Blacks and African origins (Congolese,Ghanaians,Nigerians) are starting to come through .It's like the nzlanders used to get all the Tongan,samoans and fidijians coming through .It's start g to happened with the Bokke .it's gonna be epic the next 25 years ..
@@SomilaVumsindo-br2od I can't wait
@@hopeaguero7460 ok first you, a century sir not a decade.
@@SomilaVumsindo-br2odand now you, there are no people from African countries in the Boks there are quite a few native peoples Xhosa and Zulu yes but not from other African countries. There is of course exceptions like Tendai Mtawariara (Beast) and Tonderai Chavanga although they were born in Zimbabwe they grew up in South Africa and were more South African than Zimbabwean. Go look at Craven week you won't find Non-SA youngsters there only our own, you can tell easily enough by the names alone.
People, The Southern Hemisphere own team sports. Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand..South Africans being the new comers to these international competitions are just lucky to be counted to be among the best who happen to be from the South. The God of sport must be located there.
No question, we are the world champions and the best on the planet.
Physicality. No one can match the Boks on it for 80 minutes and all teams that try to win through that alone lose when they play the Boks. The teams that beat the Boks use a mixture of physicality and brains. Historically, the All Blacks were the team to do it. Recently, it's been the Irish.
Frans Malherbe and Vincent Koch. There you go, that is why we won in 2019, that is how we won in 2023, that is how we beat the Lions, that is why we are Number One.
Your most important player is the tighthead and prop and your second most important player is your reserve tighthead prop. Story, end of.
** Handre Pollard has entered the chat **
@davesmith826 I love Handré Pollard, he is an absolute legend and maybe the best clutch kicker ever. He is our greatest fly-half since Naas Botha and his name will go down alongside the likes of Wilkinson, Carter and Larkham.
But those penalties have to be won for Pollard to kick them over. It begins and ends at tighthead.
@@randomlyfactual1943 It doesn't end with tightheads kicking them over, does it?
Nor are tightheads the only players on the field that win penalties and turnovers.
Rugby is a team sport. As a fan of the Boks, you of all should understand that.
@davesmith826 Not saying the other positions are unimportant. But your tighthead goes, your team goes.
MSAGA team!!
South Africa are clearly the best side in the world right now, next year lets see
Someone said the same 6 years ago 😂
Great show
Lekker Bokke 👌❤️
Not to forget their tactical adaptability and their willingness to die for each other. They leave everything on the field, die-hards.
Truth very well described and in detail explained
Glad you enjoyed the video! 👊
ayou guys american based?...if so I like it...good luck, Ur natinal side is looking good

Even if they wasn’t the best they definitely in the top 3 which I’ll take everyday… they can win a World Cup ranked at 5 ❤
It has nothing to do with size. The Boks are not the biggest in World rugby. It is the DNA that makes the difference.
For over 100 years I cannot recall NZ having a size advantage over SA.Thats how south Africa dominated rugby in the amateur era was thru the size of there forwards.Even though NZ players were much smaller than SA they compensated with mobility,speed,and typically NZ,always punching above there weight.Nz definitely have the DNA you speak of
2021 British and irish lions winners as well
Yes, we are number one in the world.
🇿🇦🇿🇦
Yea, but then you look at the pack weights of all the teams in the Autumn series there was not much difference in pack weights. the difference comes in technique and sheer effort from the Boks and maybe how they train, their wil to overcome and motivation. 2 Weightlifters similar in size and weight yet one can lift more than the other.
Boks gonna go to Eden Park as probably favorites ABs on up but Boks at top
Yes
If you watch the games that Sa lost this year (only 2 of them). They still dominated over the winning team. You can see it especially in that Irland game. Ireland won but physically they were beaten. The other game they lost they were resting their star players.
Your comment doesn't make any sense.who cares if U physically dominated Ireland the scoreboard says U lost.The fact they took a battering and still won and in front of 50,000 SA speaks more about Ireland's mental toughness than how stronger physically SA were.And to be honest saying U lost to the pumas cause U rested players is such a typical SA fan response.
@@rugbymad-r1y Where is Irland ranked? Exactly so sit down. In the 2019 RWC are you going to say that England was at full force for the final or did there uge physical game againt the NZ in the semi not play a roll. Ireland were licky to get a win againt SA, not because they were better, but because they got lucky. Eventually luck runs out and you end up with the No.2 spot.......
South Africa best this is no debate BOKKO
Love the comments and insights, but it's unnecessarily shouty!!
We need a showdown between France and SA
The best in the world in the current cycle. Will it last into 2027, I would like to hope so but I'm not sure it will.
Yea I would most definitely agree France and Ireland.
😂🇿🇦..if Rassie resign..😢...next couch Ackerman..😂😂..problems...next 4 years..😂🇿🇦
moenie bad luck wees ni
We have Rassie for the next world cup bud
France can handle and match the physicality of the Springboks for 60 minutes. The last 20 minutes will belong to South Africa
Indeed it is France that can surprise South Africa. France is currently the only team that can challenge South Africa.
🇿🇦💪🏼👆💚🔥🙏🙌
At the moment the question is who is the second best team in the World. New Zealand or Ireland.
Personally because they beat sa I wud have Ireland above NZ regardless of us beating them as we lost to SA twice
my guy did not miss a beat when speaking about the spirngboks , but i would rate ireland More over France . reason being Ireland are very well coach and alway limit the Amount of penalties they cause in a game . were i fear france penalty count was always been their Achilles heel
This year SA are #1.
Next year NZL, France and possibly Ireland will try to take that #1 spot away.
If it's undisputed, what's all the rugby about?
SB are a true national team.
NH teams are loaded with imports from SH n Pacific islands😅
Why would anyone aspire to being “indisputably “ best? Especially in a team sport like rugby where arrogance destroys the ability to improve 🤣
South Africa have a great rugby team at present, however, the AB's pushed them close enough (and maybe could have won the first test) in their own back yard. Won't know how good they (and other teams) are until they come to NZ and then beat the AB's.
We better
Eden Park 2025.Mouthwatering prospect.🇿🇦
sigh...okay 🥲🥲🤣🤣
Could've would've should've. The All Blacks aren't THAT team anymore. and they arguably only temporarily held the title of being THAT team after the bokke were completely banned from international Rugby for around 2 decades, before that, things were as they are now - The bokke were the team on top that dominated Rugby and were the standard to beat. What you're seeing now is just bokke returning back to how it was before the ban
The only team that can beat the South African A team is the South African B team
Are U ok U lost two games this year 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rugbymad-r1y compared to which team that lost none or one game?
im confused...this a US show?... maak nie saak nie maar....just a bit strange
Just recognizing the best team in the world...
France I would disagree proof world cup Willamse catches ball in boks 22 and punches his fists together and calls scrum so I dont think France. So for me no Northern but most def only one that could is AB's and can bring the boks downfall will be our southern hemisphere brothers the AB. Thats just my 2 cents.
Is the Pope Catholic? 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆🇿🇦
Ireland have played South Africa 17 times in the professional era and won 8, including 3 of the last 4 meetings. Those are the cold stats.
So, South Africa have beaten them 9 times then. 👌🏾✔️
Thanks for that.
Slow down.
Springboks are the best team at the moment, but the All Blacks still wear the crown 👑. They have won far more matches than anyone else. We will need to win every match against the All Blacks for the next 10 years to be called the Kings of rugby.
You mean like the All Blacks did to us after we were banned from international Rugby and still rebuilding after 1994? WE were what the All Blacks are seen as now before we got banned, and before the 2010-2015 All Blacks team. What's just happening now with the Bokke is a return to the past, a return to what was before we got banned for well over almost 2 Decades from international Rugby and got weakened because of it, which allowed the All Blacks to get the record they have now, which is a record they would not have had otherwise without it
The eagles were excellent, the band that is. USA rugby is infantile
Obviously 🙄
The size of the Ireland pack is identical with that of Boks
You wouldn't say it watching them play. 😂
Really?
France don't have a bomb squad. so no.
I think the French are.
They were outscored 4 tries to 3 in their own back yard last time around
I laughed at this question,it's ludicrous, because it's Africa country???
France may have the “cattle” but Ireland have actually beaten SA this year in SA no less. It’s not a hypothetical, it’s a fact.
How many times must this be said. Ireland are not a threat to SA. Only those who make it past the quarter final of a WC are a treat. It doesn't really matter if SA win/lose to Ireland. Ireland are a non entity in the bigger picture.
@@HS-mo2wz If only South Africa had a rand for every time a Saffa mentions Ireland and the QF, you would be the richest country in the world. When are you going to come up with something new and original. Normally you go into hibernation between World Cups and let the ABs walk away with the Rugby Championship so good that you stayed awake this year. Bravo.
All Blacks by far .
Not even close for going on almost a decade now
there is no king of rugby today, only 4 teams on top of the ladder and SA is part of it...that's all.
Is SA the best, facts are 4 world cups best win ratio against every world team except ABs currently ranked number 1, but as a one eyed AB, NZder, in the words of the the Terminator , I, we will be back so SA the wolves are at the door, barbarians at the gates. Game on...and as more rugby playing children from SA in NZ now coming through the grades and injecting another string to our bow.😅😅😅😅
No they not they are the luckiest team in the world
Quote by Gary Player: “The more I practice, the luckier I get.”
Quote by Samuel Goldwyn: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
Quotation: "I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."Thomas Jefferson
Enough said.
If they win one game, it's luck, if they win two games, it's luck, HELL, if they win Three games you can still call it luck. But it's not three games, it's now going on 20 including the World Cup last year, hell, 30 if we're including the Boks winning the Qatar Cup and giving the All Blacks the biggest loss in their entire history of playing Rugby.
Count it, it's now actively 2 World Cups (2019 & 2023), Qatar Cup (2023), Champions Cup (2024), Mandela Challenge Plate (2024), Freedom Cup (2024), British & Irish Lions Tour Win (2021), as well as clean sweeping this 2024 Autumn Nations Series, and there's absolutely more I'm forgetting Right now. All That while Rotating 52 players this year alone.
It's time to put away the salt, swallow your pride, and admit the facts - it's not luck, but pure, pure skill that the Boks are winning and keep winning consistently by, and they will continue to win until 2027, and most likely win a threepeat of World Cups if things keep on their current trajectory
Ireland beat them at home so they are not unbeatable , NZ almost beat them and France would have 50/50 chance of winning at home against them .
they are doing good at the moment, they haven't lost to Japan or Italy for a while
I'd like to know what you think th-cam.com/video/w4g4J2h-xBg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5gsa_QhH200R-Xf_
