      There's nothing complex about what the Boks do, they have a predictable game plan and they execute it well! I think the Boks will be chastened on the end of year tour. The box-kicking bomb squad routine is unlikely to be as effective against teams with more complex attacking and defence patterns as the French and Irish

      That takes me back to how Kitch Christy trained the Boks back in '95. Man those guys were focused and spoke about it later in interviews. The confidence that the coach inspired because they had a very clear plan and work to do when one part of it was done. Someone (from Zambia actualy) asked on the Springbok group what the Holy Grail refers to. He clarified the coach mentioned it in one of the half time speeches during BIL tour. BIL is many things but defo not the holy grail to us. I think he caught a reference to the long term plan being discussed. Consecutive World Cups. Just my opinion though.

      Indeed, we need to get rid of this rubbish modern notion that we do better as the underdogs. There is no nation that should be able to touch us. In the apartheid years, this self-belief was tainted with racism, but now we must build this confidence forward as a nation combining the strength of all our cultures and ethnicities. We should make the world tremble at the feet of our forwards, and make them weep by the ferocity of our attack. Beating the ABs should not be seen as a crowning achievement, but the natural result of great preparation and execution.

    I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I wish more people were able to appreciate the game on this level; maybe then the Boks wouldn't get so much flak for playing "boring" rugby. To most fans/spectators, the ideal game apparently is what Super Rugby was for years, with non-stop running, crazy offloads and 12 tries per match, with a final score of 40-38. Bok test rugby is more like a game of chess. The type of chess where the pieces can hit you in the face with a hammer.

    • @NathanMcClintock
      @NathanMcClintock 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Boks were outstanding. Calm, measured, totally understood their game plan. This allowed them to be organised, handle pressure well, and execute without really even considering what the opposition was doing or otherwise. The ABs were the exact opposite. Panicked, all over the show, a dreadful or even non-existent game plan. Therefore disorganised, error ridden, and no script to play from,
      This sits squarly with the coach. Grow some balls NZR and sack him
      And the captain cant handle the pressure. I cant think of another ABs captain who capitulated like Sam Cane did. Put the poor guy out of his misery! His leadership skills are not up to the task.

    • @Jaco_Schutte
      @Jaco_Schutte 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@NathanMcClintock agreed on the ABs looking all at sea; I've watched NZ teams play for many years, and even on the odd occasion they did lose, I've never seen them looking this out of sorts. It's so unusual, I don't know what to make of it. We're so used to seeing NZ playing with an almost instinctive freedom, and clearly they're not comfortable with themselves atm.
      Ironically the Boks are the ones that have for many years being accused of being a "dumb" team with lots of brawn but no gameplan or finesse. This crop clearly still have the muscle in spades, but they're learning how to play a very smart tactical game as well. Now just to be more clinical about converting opportunities into points.

      I don’t really understand why people think Le Roux isn’t good. He’s literally the king of the assist. He’s a general on organising the back-line defence and a wizard in the counter-attack. Every young back-line player, regardless of position, should watch him play and learn. Ball’s always in two hands looking for the next play, head’s always on the right side when tackling and he’s always committing 100% to everything he does, whether it’s punching through a hole to distribute a try-enabling pass or chasing one of his terrifying up-and-unders. He’s an absolutely incredible ambassador for the game of rugby.

He kicks like a forward and he buckles under pressure. He has good organizational skills but he also does a whole lot of basic errors, such as passing too high or too low in critical moments and as a distributer that ismind blowing to me.

Their skill set isn't gone..it's just almost impossible to show it if you don't have any structure to play of. As a proud Bok supporter it is great to see our depth in our squad. Yes we lost our second game to the Welsh but it just showed how al the players understand the environment and plan of their coaches.

    Thanks for this, and all of your videos. As an All Blacks fan, I hope their coaching team watch these. Surely they are aware of all that you point out, but I have my doubts 😅

      No Safa who has been watching rugby longer than 10 years will ever wright-off an AB team. I do hope NZ keeps Foster around until after the WC ;)

    Your IQ must be 300+ 🤣 .. thank you, I couldn't wait for your treatment of this game which was so enjoyable.
    Interesting thing is that the Boks rarely make Huge scores against anyone .. why ?

    • @TJ20232
      @TJ20232 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because they don't really need to. Their defence is so good that they know that if they hold their opponent, they can score one or two tries and a couple of penalties and win comfortably

      I think it is because our attack doesnt use the skills of the centres or flyhalves we have effectively. We can score alot more tries from basic backline set moves if you look at how much better we look but still choose to maul. I think Jacques is saving some Ireland esque set plays in the fridge for the world cup but maybe Im too optimistic.

      @@mr.e6748 mate I don't think you're far off the mark. When the team can beat NZ by battering them off the park in defence, why show your hand fully? RSA v France is the biggest match up there could possibly be. Truly is one of the most intriguing head to heads in the last 18 years (since the 03 Aus v England)

      @@TJ20232 Very much agreed. Great to see the French flair alive and very well. Sebatian has been doing an exceptional job. Big mobile pack, with an illusive game structure.
      Opening game of the RWC is going to France. Even if they had to face an in from AB's... They are that good.
      Interesting to see Eddie Jones and Co watch our game. So yes, never show to many cards.

      @@AM-dj1wr as a neutral, in my opinion, unless RSA slow the French ball down and take away their kicking/chasing game by trying to knock the wingers off their game, France win. Not by much, but i believe as a solid unit they're a little better.
      However, If it ends up coming down to individual brilliance then South Africa have too many unbelievable players

    Great take Squidge . A few NZ supporters now coming out ironically accusing Boks of cynical play need to educate themselves and watch this . Yes on another day this could have been a 50 pointer .

    Another great analysis. Thanks Squidge! I think you'll enjoy the changes in the SA squad this week. Its going to be the most insane atmosphere here in Jhb. We have a great record against the ABs at Ellis park. Dwayne is back!
