Shimmi is such a great host! The way he allows the conversation to flow without being too scripted and still being able to provide structure to the conversation is really really spot on. Very professional. Again this is a great episode! It would be good to have chapters in the video, for future use.
His commentary is so intelligent and insightful. I once sat in a seat next to him on a plane and he was prepping. I did not have the audacity to interrupt him, but I would have loved to engage him in conversation.❤
@@unbuckleddiscussions also noticed the interrupting but I think maybe he will get better at this in time. He definitely keeps the banter up and keeps it moving nicely without being stiff.
Shimmi & Jean have great chemistry. Love these two tuning each-other every episode. Schalk Brits is also a great guy. Very down to earth. I hope there's more to come this world cup? Really made my week with this episode.
This might be the best rugby show or rather interviews there is now. Well done Hanyani on being a good host. Love the antics between you guys, that shows true friendship...
Looks like we may be able to field two strategies based on each flyhalve. Pollard to start, front row to apply pressure and capitalise on points and build scoreboard pressure. Manie and fresh front row in 2nd half to make plays and open up the game.
You have the right idea, but wrong application. I think most of scrum penalties come when Ox Nche come off the bench to dominate a tired opposition starter, or a worse quality bench prop. In which case there would be more opportunity for Pollard to kick for poles in the last 30 minutes.
@@jameswyatt4443 I agree with what you're saying about Ox, but Manie's game will work better if we're already up by 5-7 and we're not chasing the game. We usually grind and then explode. So a fresh front row will pick up penalties, but by that stage we should already be up on the score board.
when pollard plays INT THE PAST, it was all up and unders, id rather mannie start, and we apply fwd momentum with variation and ball in hand with backline and fwd play, and go for the line to apply pressure, then pollard on for last 20 IF THINGS ARE TIGHT
I agree with you but also, this is my opinion. The thing is, you need a kicker that put points on the board. If you go for the 3, it has to sit. It has been that way for ever and it`s never going to change. Manie gave away more to many points. Not even the, not so good teams do better. The 10 has to deliver. No yes or no or maybe. The 10 has to be a bank. If Namibia plays the All Blacks, 3 points is nothing but, when the Springbucks play a team like Ireland, 3 points can make a difference. YOU NEED a NUMBER 10 That makes the score board ticking over. Mike drop...
Exactly when there is a lot at stake. URC finals. match against Ireland etc. Mannie is only human and his confidence goes for a loop in these important games.@@plutoniumnitrate1201
My favorite player of the tournement is definitely the little jackler from Uruguay. He has really impressed. I think he averages 4 - 5 turnovers a game, against all oppositions.
Schalk Brits I never ever knew we were from the same hometown😂and I always saw you as the best ever #2 in Bok history..You just proof the our CBS😊guys are cut from a different stone my man...I guess you... Point High...Me...Sao Bras....Keep doing what your doing and be the exelent human being you are my homie.....
Great show guys, good analysis and lots of great humour. I’m an England supporter so need lots of laughs to overcome the nervousness every time we play 😂.
Did you just start watching rugby?? New Zealand are the best ever, and Ireland are the best at the moment... South Africa are good but in my lifetime they've never been "the best"
@@giddygiddy85 The guy is allowed an opinion. Boks have won the WC 3 times and haven't played in them all, as NZ have done. Ireland have yet to win just once. The guy's opinion is therefore not far out.
One of my biggest wishes for SA is that the way our boys play rugby for each other, is the way we do life together in general as South Afticans, but since 1994, NOTHING has changed and we still as divided as ever! It's soo soo sad
It's amazing how Jean feels like Am is not ready to start but Pollard must come straight in if the game plan suits him...Shimmi you setup him up nicely...thank for the great show, it's actually great to listen to someone who is not against springboks
Little blitz-britz much more relaxed or less tongue tired due to no babalaas compared to the sit down with Mertens and co. Boks office the best one around. Love being a fly on the wall
Guys, can I ask what you think about 1: side entry at the ruck seems as normal as the scrum put in (when did it become acceptable?) And 2: Your thoughts on Irish, Welsh, Scottish and yesterday French players appealing to the ref. I thought it was only the captain who could talk? The play acting and appealing - doing my head in 3: the ball, flies 10m further and is harder to handle (for northern/ defensive teams?)
Awesome chatter, much of that coming from time on and off the field.Guys, we have 15 on the field playing against the country of France and the influenceable whistle, what is the "game plan" from kick off to post with an almost 100% belief in the squad that they will not lose. Calculated moves that build momentum from the moment the coin is tossed...Talking about the coin toss, how many people know the stats of what transpires only in that little action.. Getting it right, then making the call to kick off and immediately hand the opposition the ball, or do they? Getting the toss, and decide to receive the ball, or do they? What are the little "Rassie" moments that tells the players based on the statistical FACTS that when they achieve these "moments" or field gaining millimeter actions they will be inching their way closer to a kickable position when they play the "money game" or gunning for the corners with another stat that reads...Deep throws have scored 38% less than throwing in at the front of the line out.... Keep up the fun filled moments guys! Great contributions Shim.
QF France vs Springboks .... I was at Kings Park - semi finals on 17 June 1995. The home ground is on a different boot this time, but Awesome all the way. I still think the Bokke will win though.
I would love for the captions of the titles to change from “ex-springbok” to “former-springbok” as ex implies a bad relationship between the player and springboks rugby union 🙏 love this podcast

Agree… he’s a natural. Well prepped and yet like the guy in the pub that misses nothing and keeps it light and fun
Yes, but I feel sometimes he interrupts and does not let the guys build on there points

Love the banter between the mates, showing true friendship. Also, it must be nice to be out of SA and forgetting about loadshedding for a bit.😅
Eish why do you have to be so personal 😂
What a lekker laugh listening to you okes talking kak and sense at the same time. Love it.
Love the BOKS OFFICE episodes !!!
Quite cool hey
enjoy watching dis more than listening 😅……
Just one request. Can the Boks Office continue even after the World Cup. enjoying every minute of it.
Really enjoy this show. Shimi a great host and good energy between the particpants. I hope this becomes a permanent show.
Haven’t been back to SA since 2019 and miss my old homeland. However, this show always cheers me up. Excellent.
Jean has the best banter 😂😂😂
Better than the host anyway. He seems like a right douche
True 😂
When Jean is in the room there's never a dull moment😂
Love this podcast, probably coz it's my people 🇿🇦

What a great show. The banter between them is fantastic. Shimmy is a great host.
Aah,what a great vibe between these legends. Shimmie is a natural anchor.. big stirrer tho..😂viva South Africans in all our shapes and forms!
Yesssssss... The Boyz are back. Jean is hilarious, I'd love to have a beer with him
😂😂😂😂😂this podcast is the best thing to come out of thi RWC
Love this clips wish this can continue after RWC!
Guys, I really love this show!! By far the best of the World Cup show!!
As a kiwi i love tuning into these guys, always a laugh as well as some good insight into the games
Love the show. some great laughs and insight and past experiences. Hope this can carry on past the WC. Greta work chaps
Manie was struggling with the kicking clock, on Saturday he seemed to have mastered the clock. Less looking at the clock and more eyes on the ball .
or maybe he took inspiration from how Pollard was kicking in his first real international match in over a year
Exactly when there is a lot at stake. URC finals. match against Ireland etc. Mannie is only human and his confidence goes for a loop in these important games.@@plutoniumnitrate1201
... Or like they said. It's easier without pressure. He was simply more relaxed.
No pressure as score was high enough
I thought he still cut it fine with the clock. But he kicked it including two difficult ones, very happy about that.
The Banter!!!! We need more of this man! ❤❤😂😂😂😂
What a podcast, love you guys !
My favorite player of the tournement is definitely the little jackler from Uruguay. He has really impressed. I think he averages 4 - 5 turnovers a game, against all oppositions.

Good entertainment. Thanks guys. Keep them rolling in.
Jirre okes, you' really give Skala a rough time.
Love your program. Don't stop when WC ends.
Love the banter. Great show. 🔥
"They score more points" was a great one-liner by Jean. 😂
That was a good one 😂
Wonderful show! Love the banter between the boys
I’d love to see Esterhuizen and De Allende paired up!
Great listening to you guys , with the humour
Great show guys, good analysis and lots of great humour. I’m an England supporter so need lots of laughs to overcome the nervousness every time we play 😂.
True good laughs make the thunder go away... 🙌👌🤣
Im a fan from Croatia and i say SA is the best team, and it will be WC 👊
Did you just start watching rugby?? New Zealand are the best ever, and Ireland are the best at the moment... South Africa are good but in my lifetime they've never been "the best"
@giddygiddy85 Leave the guy alone . He’s got his best team and it’s not NZ or the Irish .
@@reeld99 How are they the best?
@@giddygiddy85 they are my favorits, i mean that, every man have theyr favourite team, SA is mine.

I disagree, it's only the politicians telling us that we are devided. If there were no politicians in this country we would all thrive.
@@bwarrior6340 that is also true
LMAO! Good one, Schalk.. Are you finished? Exactly where my mind went to that question. 🤣🤣 Must be us South Africans with our one track minds.
It's amazing how Jean feels like Am is not ready to start but Pollard must come straight in if the game plan suits him...Shimmi you setup him up nicely...thank for the great show, it's actually great to listen to someone who is not against springboks
Brilliant program. Fantastic!
Jean acting like hes falling asleep when they talk forwards.. "do you want viewership to go up?" omg this man is gold 😂
oof Shimmi was savage this pod I loved it!

Shimmy binds everything, wonderful host 🎉
You guys are hilarious. And we love that.👏👏
33:21 Man, I couldn't stop laughing. Jean's epic ribbing of Shimmi.
Glad to hear mini Schalk mention strategy against Ireland.
Jean: "Shimii, do you get nervous when Schalk speaks about that soft under belly?"😂😂😂
JDV looks like he can pair nicely with Damien de allende in the centre position😂 man is built bigger and better than before ❤
Miss the g man,frm ireland. 😢
This is kak funny 😂 brilliant pod
Thinking out of the box - Manie on 10, Pollard on 15, with Esterhuizen at 12 and De Allende at 13 to start.
That’s cool, but I’d be scared to do so much experimenting in a quarter final
No man come now
Eish, that would be a disaster. Why would you ever want to play players out of position in knock.out games?
Rather stay in the box, you make no sens.

Great show guys .Tell me who came up with the ''BOKS OFFICE"" name ... its brilliant , I love it.
Loving these conversations!!
Great guys, Bokke icons. Enjoy France.
BOKS ALL THE WAY!
I'm BOKKE in Saudi 🇸🇦 🙏but my blood is 🇿🇦👍
“He is used to watching it from a far.” HILARIOUS
loving this so chilled and casual
Fantastic. Love the insight. ❤
Great show guys!
I really love watching these guys..
Classic chemistry. "They score more points."
2019 we played the hosts in the quarters as well.
Guyz, THIS video is just something clearly different : EXCELLENT SHOW‼️👊🔥🥂🍻🍷
Lucky wasn’t playing at his old level prior to getting hurt in the Argentina match. I really think Andre and Moodie are our best center pairing
Great show fellas, I'm so eager to see what will our starting 11 would be cz there's so much players to pick.
Yes we do have a lot of players to pick so I'm sure we would start with 15 players rather than 11
@@joelkruger6654 Haha my football mind took over.
such a good show, man you lads are good crack!
Shimi is hilarious
Start with Handre, create a lead, bring Libbok to have fast attacking rugby, once we have a lead
And what if the team comes back once we dont have the kead
Agree 100%
Strategies don’t work for “What-if’s” scenarios.
Great energy...Love it
I hope this show goes beyond the world cup. Really entertaining!
Certain players can go straight back into a squad after they return from injury, lukanyo is one of them.
I don't agree. He needs game time.
He is also an excellent colour commentator, very knowledgable especially in scrumming.

Same as 2019, we are going to play the host nation again in the quarter finals. Japan last time and possibly France.
