My late father always said, Damian was instrumental in our World Cup win in Japan 2019. His performance against Wales was absolutely phenomenal and laid the foundation for the final.
This is a guy who speaks the raw truth. Great interview Jim. I thought perhaps he would get thrown off with the stroll in the park but he gave the perfect talk including you. Lots of people underrate him. I fully support this beast of a centre. Prob my favourite centre.
!!JIM SIR, THANKS FOR THIS MY GUY, DAMIAN DE ALLENDE HAS BEEN ONE OF MOST UNDERRATED BEST CENTRES IN WORLD RUGBY, THIS KIND OF RECOGNITION COMING FROM YOU MATE SHOWS HOW GREAT AN EYE YOU'VE GOT FOR PURE RUBBY TALENTS.
i met Damian in a bar in 2013 in Claremont Cape town when he just broke through from UCT into western Province and i told him hes gonna be a springbok!!! i was drunk but i hope he maybe remembers that
Funny story, I worked at a Spar near his home in milnerton back in 2013 and I told him the same thing that he's gona be a bike oneday. He was such a humble guy he always to greet me even if I wasn't nearby
I find it frustrating not being able to commentchat on the videos on RugbyPassTV. That being said, great video. Amazing insight. And thoughtful questions as always from Jim.
Maybe people under-rate him outside of SA - but Springbok supporters know he has been an important, solid kingpin for a number of seasons now since before 2019 World Cup
I remember back in 2009 we were in he same WP U/17 cricket squad and he was a superb athlete and sportsman back then and so humble too , I thought he was one of the coaches at first sight 😂
Sorry I didn’t say top 5, Milnerton was never a powerhouse rugby school, so just happy when lesser-known schools do well. It’s good for rugby. Go Bokke!
Milnerton HS has been a thorn in out side the last season. Hoping to bring back a win for achange (DFM dad). You are not wrong. Massive improvments in MHS rugby.
Very insightful interview . Damien made a valid point about an English coach , coaching Ireland. Maybe that’s what Ireland need, a former Irish player to coach them. That could be the edge they need.
How is his point about Andy Farrell valid ? Farrell may have been born I England but his father installed a strong Irish influence on jis family, and maintained to this day strong ties with their family in Mayo. Farrell has had a family house there gor years suspect Farrell knows a lot more about Ireland, it's culture and it's history than Damien. Sorry I don't buy this lack of cultural edge that Farrell brings to the team. Farrell brought in a game plan and systems that the irish players finally bought into . They like him and trust him. Where he was born is irrelevant
Strong and emotional aren’t really mutually exclusive though. Not usually. Another comment Damian said was that Andy Farrell doesn’t understand the irish team because he’s from England… his surname is Farrell 😂 Andy’s dad is irish 😂.
@@SmcdMcd-d2k he didn’t live or grow up in Ireland. He ain’t Irish and doesn’t feel Irish and can’t understand Irish fully. Rassie is South African. Is a bok. Knows our culture and our strong points and weakness. Also DDA don’t say he doesn’t know. He said doesn’t think he does. I also don’t think he does fully.
@@marelizemeier Farrell has talked previously that he and his siblings had spent many summers growing up in Ireland with his parent's family.. Both his wife's parents are Irish too and had similar stories to him. His brother has represented Ireland at Rugby League. You can be sure he knows all there is to be irish and has many times proudly identified with his Irish heritage.
The F are you talking about? Since you say "always" I'll ask, name just two big moments where he delivered. I'll give you the first one. The try against Wales where he was on the fortunate side of some shocking defence. Now, you name the other occasion. F'king casual
@lauchlanmccutcheon1716 Lol, ok dork thanks for making it so easy You must have missed the try he scored against France in the QF. You know, the game where SA won by 1 point against a hostile French crowd. Go yap somewhere else, kid
@lauchlanmccutcheon1716 Lol, ok d0rk thanks for making it so easy 😂 You must have missed the try he scored against France in the QF. You know, the game where SA won by 1 point against a hostile French crowd. Try harder next time
@@rickybeez oh the one where he caught a lucky bounce off a high kick...was to slow to get to the line and then took a pass from Faf to dive over. That's a try any school kid could score. If you're talking influential then look no further than Eben's try in the same game
@@SmcdMcd-d2k well as an Irish man I can tell you we are labelled as emotional in regards to aggression, anger, pride and sadness/sorrow around the world…Especially when it comes to sports….Asking an Irish man in general to open up about how he feels in is another matter…

His mom's coloured, and I've heard him refer to himself as such. He comes from Milnerton which is a racially mixed suburb in CT, but was historically quite white
Holding a grudge against the Irish Media after 7 years? Move on with your life pal, you've two WC Winners Medals, you're a World class Player and making serious wedge oversees. Damian and Eben are stirring the pot before the Loftus tests. This 2 game series will be epic
Irish men came to fight for the Transvaal against the British in SA. Crazy how he played for Munster yet knows so little about Irish people and history, Like the bulls at the URC final laughing Munster off
I know this but what you forget to mention is that (naturally) in comparison many more Irishman were fighting for the Brits in South Africa. Nonetheless, it’s an awesome historical fact. Thanks for mentioning.
It is what it is, eh. Jacques had his personal reasons, we're all different. He's achieved so much, it was time for family now. Look at Rassie - divorce - this sport, especially at the highest level gives you so much yet takes so much from you as well.
Little bit out of line to say Andy Farrell knows nothing about the irish and the history. His dad is irish ffs. And he’s been in the management squad long before he was the coach
I think what he meant to say is the emotional connection wouldn’t be there in the same way as a lad growing up Irish might have. DDA’s first language isn’t English but I got what he was trying to say.
Farrell and his wife Colleen OLoughlin are both from very Irish families. His brother in law Colleens brother played rugby league for Ireland. You dont get much more Irish a set of names than Farrell and OLoughlin.
World class player, absolutely. Brilliant at Munster. But seriously? The Irish don't respect the Springboks? I know you have to sing from the Rassie Erasmus 'the world is against us' songsheet, but everybody respects the Springboks. And as for the Irish not being emotional? Come on Damian - you've lived in Limerick 😂
maybe I'm alone on this but I'm tired of hearing about our beloved springboks I'm tired of hearing about the might All Blacks I'm tired of the luck of the Irish least of all the Roses rugbypass let us in more on the French, not only just the hype of Dupont let us in on Fiji, the has a magical run let us in on the Wallabies, they remind me of the wayward 2016/17 Springboks let us in on Scotland the maverick team there are more stories to tell, if you need help we here just ask thank you siyabonga
@@hannesbornman1045 No they arent, Argentina have no foreign born players. Also the Boks have a few foreign born coaches including two Irish ones. The point he made was about coaches not players, dingus! 😂
Crazy how Rugbypass try and twist his words for clickbait headlines for their social media channels. Can definitely tell they're owned by World Rugby...pretend to care about the game but all they care about is $.
"...Faz is English... doesnt know... Rassie knows... theyre [Irish] not emotional... [emotion] pushes us over the line... [not irish] when you get to the moments, one pount games..." How's it now boys!? This was disrespectful when I heard it. And it hasnt aged well.
Talking about disrespect from 7 years ago ? Has absolutely no bearing on the upcoming tour and sure lets completely ignore the disrespect SA have shown since then towards other nations. Tired of this poor us bullshit
Honestly we don’t have a great record against Ireland in the last few years. No BS here it’s us coming from behind. Memories fade fast. The build up to the 2023 RWC in the NH was all about France and Ireland. They are great teams no question.
Mate, that quick tap in Dublin in 2004 while Smit was told to talk to his players still boils my piss. Saffers have long memories (and 4 world cups😂). Pretty sure a lot of players from all countries use past losses to fire themselves up.
Yes the room is full of casuals. Scoring a try that a school kid would score is not called delivering when it matters. It's called offering not much more than a placeholder. Delivering when it matters means putting in a performance that wins you a MOTM award in a crunch game, or doing something spectacular in a crunch game...or carrying your team for periods during a crunch game. DDA has never, and will never do that. But I suppose the bar for "delivering" in the Casual's Handbook is simply doing what any average player could do. ...you casual
Irish players are all private school with a silver spoon in their mouth. Don't think this helps them in adversity. Also, why are SA so obsessed with ireland? They are world champs so they shouldn't be so insecure surely?
DDA is a liability. The worst 12 the Boks have had in my lifetime. Kills all attacking plays, never creates and is never there when a break happens. Always miles behind play, always slow to react and never coming in clutch. If you think he's better that Andre Esterhuizen, or even Willemse at 12, then you're a casual who gets your opinions from media.
Let’s be honest: SA should not have won Vs the All Blacks. I’m a neutral but if you sent of Cane for his tackle there was zero excuse not to send of Kolisi. Wayne Barnes who was a great referee unfortunately made mistakes in that game (penalty that he admitted on air he shouldn’t have given against Savea). Erasmus has become a whining & complaining pain in the backside and he should Have been taken to task much more severely by the rugby authorities for his continual attacks and tirades on refs which does put pressure consciously or subliminally on referees.
You are not a neutral. You're regurgitating all the salty excuses from 6 months ago and completely ignoring that every point you've just made has been debunked ad nauseum. So fair to say you don't know what you're talking about.
If Rassie whines then you whinge. You aren't neutral. You're a salty kiwi. After 6 months you're still crying. Your whinging won't change the result. Move on Karen🤧🤮
I do , I have seen in so many tests how solid his defense is. He is a really strong ball carrier. Fantastic 12, the blunt power instrument inside our athletic outside backs. You no nothing about rugby.
I am astounded by your knowledge of the game. You really should change your career to some commentator in rugby. They usually know everything. Just like you. Amazing. I am speechless.
This man silenced every single one of the podcasters who were calling for him to be dropped. He's an absolute weapon.
People wanted him dropped ?
My late father always said, Damian was instrumental in our World Cup win in Japan 2019. His performance against Wales was absolutely phenomenal and laid the foundation for the final.
I still think his try in the semi final against Wales deserved at least a nomination to be the best try of the tournament.
He's been consistently delivering for SA keep it up
Damian's an absolute Weapon. Love watching him play. His try against France was sublime. Cheers Jim, loving these great walkie talkies.
Have never heard him speak before. A solid player
😂😂😂😂 Me too, I thought he'd sound different
WOW I think that’s the first DDA interview I watched. Crazy cos he has been pivotal for years now. Thanks.

Not correct sir. I'm an English guy who moved to SA in 2007. Mr Farrell is 100% Irish heritage and utterly qualified to coach them. And does
@ Farrel is consistent. 8 quarter finals in 10 tournaments. An Irish union coach is required not a an English league player as the Irish coach
Always performs for the boks was great in 2023 but in 2019 he was by far the best center in the world.
Honesty and true. As a South African I agree. We are strong but emotional.
