Is it me or is the rivalry between Ireland and South Africa seems to be completely manufactured. Nobody in Ireland believes that we're number 1in the world. This feels like a real lost opportunity to bring developing player on a tour, rest some older guys that have been going for over a 12 month period. the under 20's RWC is of more interest to me and is more relevant to the world cup in 2027
It's online only mate but why not it's just fun and it is even funnier when my compatriots (saffers) lose their head also funny when some Irish fans are pissed off😂😂😂
It only feels manufactured because there’s little history. South Africans are able to see a stray male trying to enter our territory.. the fact that we haven’t beaten them since 2016 and we play them in the URC, are 1 and 2 ranked in the world and their media believe that they should have won the RWC. After 10 years it will be a proper rivalry.
Exciting times! Springboks systematically adding to its strenghts. Image the forward dominance combined with lethal back attack... Not that our wings aren't lethal allready !!
Grant fronting the media is a good indicator that he'll be playing - which probably means a 6/2 split. Question is then just if Faf is fit...if so, I'm guessing he'll probably partner Pollard with Sacha covering off the bench. Can't wait for Saturday!
Springbok press conferences always have such crap acoustics and sound quality that they’re basically un-listenable. Come on guys, so amateurish, get some professional sound people on board.
So there we have it guys.. Tony has free rein to implement his philosophy...I heard he also advocated for libbok to be the starting 10 as he is a greater attacking threat than Pollie.. hopefully the kicking elephant has also been addressed
From what I heard, Tony said that in practice Libbok is good, but he struggles on the big stage. I agree, Manie lacks BMT. Pollard is the present, Sacha is the future.
@@Alias-gy3tz I don't think Manie lacks BMT - that game against France was fire. He was the wrong guy to play in the rain against England. I think Rassie made a mistake there. If you look at the relief Nienaber had after the England game; he knew we pulled one out of the fire. And we had no steam in the final against NZ and scrapped the win. Pollard is a tournament player for sure 2015 (3rd), 2019 (1st), 2023 (1st) speaks for themselves. What is worrying is if you take a look at the ages of the players. How many will realistically play in 2027? Some of these guys would be going to a fourth world cup.
You haven’t thought about the impact the changes to the rules will have on the game. Just the scrum law changes means less penalty changes to kick for poles.
No both teams don’t think they are number one. The Irish team will think they are number 1 when they are actually number 1. They are number 2 currently in the rankings and those rankings aren’t even that representative. All these Safa assumptions and hype marketing is getting boring. Literally nobody in Ireland, press or otherwise claiming number 1 and it would be stupid beyond belief to be claiming this going into an away match at altitude with a weakened team against the back to back World champs an currently ranked 1 Springboks. Just ware the favourite tags.
It's not just Saffas man, SOME Irish Pundits and other media (not necessarily from either SA or IRE) are also pushing this narrative. It's good for the game in the long run though, it creates some hype, gets the more casual rugby fans and neutrals into the game, so I'm not against it.
@@brettfleiner4906 you would have to point me to any recent article by any Irish online or otherwise media outlet for me to believe you as I’ve seen this nowhere else but the South African media. The latest dribble reported a so called spat between Warburton (Wales) and Matfield and I wouldn’t mind but this ‘war of words’ happened before the 6 nations. It was deliberately portrait as recent and lined up in the comments was Safa after Safa claiming how the Irish Warburton didn’t have a clue. Honestly while it might promote the game a bit, it’s seems only to give the trolls an outlet in which to vent.
You’d have to prove that any Irish media made such a claim anywhere recently. Saying it doesn’t make it true. Sure today I see a ‘War of words’ between Warburton (from Wales) and Matfield being portrayed as being recent when it was before the 6 nations by the Saffa media and the comment section is full of Saffa’s saying how the IRISH Warburton doesn’t have a clue. Yeah it builds the games up but it also gives fodder to the clueless Facebook and TH-cam trolls.
@@aidanmasterson50 I have to prove? Dude, you need to get down off your pedestal. Those trolls create engagement and although it can be infuriating at times, it is still engagement, something Rugby needs more of.
@@brettfleiner4906 You said ‘Some Irish Pundits’, and I asked for an example. But hey if you don’t know one that’s fine. I don’t either. A bit of spice is fine though.
Weird seeing Jaco Peyper at the presser😂😂
Watching Super 12 growing up I was always jealous the Kiwis had Tony Brown. What a pleasure to see him in green and gold!
100% he is a bloody champ.
Party at tony browns place..chehoo

@briancurtis5796 It does not exist. What exists is the on/off dislike for the Irish rugby media. The Irish are cool people.

Blame the pathetic media for the click bait headliners.
Who cares what the Irish think?
Tony is the man. How great to have him onboard for the Springboks.
I must say I am excited with Tony Brown there was glimpses of exciting attack against wales
Such a good move to bring Jaco into the mix.
😂😂😂😂
"Yo! Who invited a teacher to this club meeting!?"
@@acadoe - gotta teach the kids the rules
Exciting times! Springboks systematically adding to its strenghts. Image the forward dominance combined with lethal back attack...

One of the best attacking coaches in the world see us 2027

Good to see go Tony Brown go Boss.
Brenden uitstekende perskonferensie! Groete uit LIma Peru!
The last time we beat Ireland was 2017. Nothing manufactured here.
Great questions Brenden, cheers for the upload.
Nice too see Tony Brown.
Springbok press conferences always have such crap acoustics and sound quality that they’re basically un-listenable. Come on guys, so amateurish, get some professional sound people on board.
IRELAND 🇮🇪 on the revenge for the World Cup failure
Party at Tony Brown's
Co opting an international referee & then New Zealander Tony Brown. Have the Boks left no stone unturned?
Grant Williams go boy.
Tony Brown you good thing !
Hope to see grant williams starting a test
Come back to NZ tony
He’s a traitor to his own blood
A win for the Springboks guaranteed 40 7 my pick
Grant is gonna start😂
So there we have it guys.. Tony has free rein to implement his philosophy...I heard he also advocated for libbok to be the starting 10 as he is a greater attacking threat than Pollie.. hopefully the kicking elephant has also been addressed
Libbok is nowhere near the foresight class of pollard.
@@SteveWarlee In terms of pure attacking flyhalf, Libboks game is superior, but for Traditional Springbok general, Pollard is the best we have.
What he said about getting Polly playing like he did back when he was 20, puts a massive smile on my face.
From what I heard, Tony said that in practice Libbok is good, but he struggles on the big stage. I agree, Manie lacks BMT. Pollard is the present, Sacha is the future.

Hey there's a cuckoo in the nest! Lol.
Leinster and munster have been weak this year they need a big step up to compete i hope they can
Hoekom glimlag daardie kerel?
Jake's Grey boy...not so funny bra..

Hes a good Ref 👍
tone our boy!!!!
Klank vanaf vraestellers ni lekker ni
That's been an issue ever since. Wish they'd just pass a mic around.
No sound?
wtf is pyper doing there???
Libbok will cost us the test
