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.
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😊
@@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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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-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.
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.
@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
