Springboks finally beat Ireland after drama in Pretoria | The Left Wing

- Ruaidhri O'Connor and Cian Tracey joined Will Slattery on The Left Wing podcast to discuss Ireland's narrow defeat to South Africa in the first Test in Pretoria.
Two costly errors from James Lowe in the second half saw the Springboks score a brace of vital tries and the lads are on hand to pick through all the talking points from a dramatic encounter.
There were contentious TMO calls, some strong Irish play and some areas of concern as thoughts now turn towards the second Test next weekend.
Both teams have plenty of space to improve. The Boks made as many errors and gave as many penalties away
I often wonder if the northern hemisphere realises that when we come there in November it's the end of the season for us. I don't hear anyone say the Boks might be fatigued after a long season. Also this guy saying that some of the decisions were because the Boks were at home, do you guys remember when the referee told John Smit to talk to his players and then allowed Ireland to take a quick tap and score? That was worse than any decision seen on Saturday.
As an SA fan, HUGE respect for Ireland. They fronted up against our pack. Our game plan Wes to go wide and that worked well. Unlucky Ref decisions for Ireland.
Massive respect to the Irish rugby system - real deal, can’t wait til next weekend 🇿🇦🤝🇮🇪
After Ireland being world no.1 for as long as we have in recent years, are you only now realising that our team is the real deal?
Bok fan perspective: I thought we played a mediocre game. Our kicking was atrocious, which meant that we gave away a lot of territory. Our kick-chase is one of our strong points and we hardly ever saw any of that. Almost no mauls from lineouts, but that could've been because they respected the Irish maul defence. We also wasted about 80% of our opportunities in the Irish half. We looked very rusty.
Well said!
Bok fan: Ireland is a massive team! They are absolutely the real sht. Incredibly well coached and smart. RESPEK!
Thanks. I feel like we have, hopefully, gained a bit of respect from the Boks. Could have gone either way today, all to play for next week
@@Cpchurch87Bok fan - 100% respect gained/earned. Irish fans and their team. Great performance and class in (mostly) not making more of the tough TMO calls that went against them. See you in Durban
@Cpchurch87 & hopefully the Boks gained respect from the Irish/British media & some (not all ) Irish fans that's keep harping on about the fact that they beat us in WC so not true WC Champs!
@@ABB24-07 Follow rugby day in day out. Attend all the games. Never met a single Irish supporter (not a single one) who has ever said "We beat SA, so they are not true WC Champions." You need to get off the internet and talk to more real people.
@Hic_Rhodus 😅😅, well said. I watched the game with some Irish mates and there was nothing but respect shown before, during and after the game.
Why are they using the excuse of being tired, both the South African players and Irish players, play in the same league
You make a valid point, but quite a few Boks play in Japan where it's easier. Not all of them are in URC
South African players had six nations off
Also kitshoff, de jager, wiese, vermeulen, mapimpi and willemse all out. . . No excuses
South Africa doesn't make this pathetic excuse when they play the autumn series in the north after playing the Rugby Championship.
@@justinleriche9110 that’s because they’ve never had to do it directly after a RWC. I bet they’ll be saying it this year though, being the first one where the majority of players were in the URC
AB's supporter here. Why is it, when Ireland loses, it always comes down to (well, the ultimate excuse) that they weren't at their best. They used the same excuse in their WC quarter final exit. It makes them sound like sore losers and whinging little tossers. And its an insult to the opposition and not a good look for them and the game. Sure, there were calls in yesterday test that were bad on both sides, but ultimately for me, SA were a little bit better and deserve the W. Both sides weren't accurate, but they both had equal chance to win the game. The officials had some shocking calls and need a thorough review.
The AB/England was similar. Have to hand it to England, they were good and one could say unlucky, but I thought a one point win to the AB's was fair. England were gracious in defeat as well and positive for next week. Will be interesting to see how the northern hemisphere teams respond next week.
Title should read:
"Luck of the Irish finally runs out in Pretoria." 😅 Fair play to you lads 🍻
First off - hope you are having a good time in SA, as a fan I love visiting Ireland. Love your country and watching rugby over there. Both teams had multiple chances, but I believe the Boks tried a new strategy playing wide and running. Great fronting on the scrums, physicality and staying in the game. Can’t wait for next weekend. 1-1 seems fair with your team. They came to SA to play. Much love from 🇿🇦. You have an amazing team.
2-0 seems fair
Is that guy seriously complaining about Lowe’s try being brought back? Kelleher is clearly on the ground and then makes a distinct move to kick the ball back. Blatant cheating. And this guy complains about the refs calling it right? What an idiot
Your headline should read - "Ireland finally have to play in South Africa"
Yes!!
Ye get upset by anything. Anyway, didn't Ireland win in Cape Town on the last tour. That's how it goes. North tours south, then south tours north. I think they said finally cause it was 8 years. Don't take the wording personally
These Irish pundits: "the best team won, but...the ref, the fatigue, the rust etc."
What is new, this is all they ever had. You know, rugby relevance only started at Chicage 2016
@@westscotindex8972 the referee was terrible..
@@powerbite92 The past 3 matches of SA vs ireland, the ref won the game for you guys too
@@westscotindex8972 you don’t know what you’re talking about😅
😮😊😅😂😂😂
Everyone speaking about missing JG Park, we missed Marx since 2nd game in WC and just got on with it with the players we had at our disposal???
After suffering the boredom of the soccer Euros it was great to see a sporting occasion high on entertainment.
Ireland did a lot better than I expected in a great atmosphere. The Boks deserved to win but it could have so easily gone the other way. The guy was a mile late with that dangerous tackle on the unfortunate Casey who looked in serious trouble and was having avery good match up to that point. looking forward next week.
If you're on the floor, you're out of the game. You can't be kicking the ball out of a ruck. Therefore the ball came out of the ruck illegally, and it led to a try. It's a fair call. Ireland were not hard done by.
@@fallschirmjager0000sigh
I not only agree, but ask why do so many people miss this point (even referees) - almost the single rule that is as old as Rugby.
@@fallschirmjager0000 Notice the ZA Television didnt do any lateral replays of Kolisi's take and give forward pass..
@powerbite92 The Aviva is the king of dodgey camera angles and not showing Irish infringements. Now you are just being bitter as expected
@nicholas8390 what-about-ism .. well done. Bokke fans acting like morons and making all manner of personal accusations, as expected
Saffa here, bomb squad needs to dismantle the TMO next. We can’t call a scrum from a free kick anymore as it “slows” down the game! Jesus, Mary and Joseph - what the feck does the TMO do other than slow down the game, especially when the ref keeps saying “take as long as you like” to the oke!! Ruins the game. Irish deserve massive respect for their comeback attempts, they just don’t know when to quit! Most teams would’ve on that form and that far down. Keep fighting, next Saturday we rumble again👊🏻
What has been found out that Ryan and Doris Definitely aren’t Captains. Paul O’Connell and Rory Best really knew how to talk the referee’s even when blowing.
Fatigue affects Iriah and South African players... seem to forget South Africans have also been playing... as well as altitude...South Africans who don't live in that area are affected by the altitude as well...so can't excuses
Both teams were not at their best but South Africa were the better team on the day
And not to forget how often Leinster rest their players too, so yea fatigue is not an excuse.. And we both have injuries so can't claim that one either🙂
Both great teams. Both a tad wee bit rusty and will give any team a hard time. As a Saffa, felt like Ireland were always playing catchup. Glad to see the Boks spraying the ball too. We have it in us but only seem to do it when chasing. The best team did indeed win. Next week promises to be a humbdinger.
Rassie's player managment in a game is based around energy levels. 2019/2023 boks had a very high energy demand in defensive plays in an aggressive rush defense and emphasis on dominant hits, opting for more energy conservative attacking structure with lots of territory based play. The 2024 boks are opting for both a high energy attacking strategy and defensive one. This requires serious levels of fitness. Adding to this the altitude. It will be interesting to see how this bok team operates at the end of the rugby championship!
Tired?! Irish internationals play less than half the club games South African Internationals do. Stop the excuses!
Lies ireland play lot more fool 6 nations and more
@teddydavid1026 so that's why South Africa lost to Ireland in 2022, they were tired because it was the end of their season after playing The Rugby Championship.
The other 6N teams don't use that excuse
I'd say tired because they don't play enough club games. Not match 'fit'.
@@Smith-hl6ms lol. Excuses. To be expected. The Irish's ego got smashed. They said they coming to show us who the real world Champs are. They are officially number 2 in the world. Finished.
They will get another hiding in our next encounter. Start preparing the Excuses.
The Irish have mastered playing on the edge of what they get away with, NZ mastered this tactic under Richie Macaw, Ireland have mastered this tactic in the past few years, when they get away with it, they win, when they don't, then they lose!
Ireland got away with a lot of scrum infringements.
and at the breakdowns!
I swear this Ireland team had 50% of the season off, if anything they should be more Fresh
There are only four Bok players in this team that play at altitude.
i knew the springboks had won it during the anthem.. what a poweful moment
Just remember everyone, Rugby History only started in 2016 at Chicago.
😅
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seeing as Middle Eastern history only began last October I think that's fair enough 😊
Ya ? That match in Chicago with the All Blacks must be really in your head if you alone bring this up for a South Africa Ireland match 8 years later 😉
what do you mean "finally"? You only have to go back 3 matches for the last SA win.
What is this guy saying? The TMOs job is literally to look at the lead-up to tries😂 James Lowe only scored because of the offence at the breakdown
Ireland were constantly infringing at the breakdown, side entries, playing the ball or the scrum half while off their feet, not rolling away etc. The Irish pundits looking for excuses while saying they are not looking for excuses. .Not used to playing SA anywhere but the Aviva with refs that ignore forward passes, after a long SH season. The Boks looked rusty and will need to sharpen up for Durbs. Doris was the best forward on the pitch..IMO
The Boks did exactly the same at the breakdowns, AND stood offside at every single ruck. Agreed Doris was excellent. POM should never have been taken on the tour, total passenger.
Andrew Porter needs to be investigated for his pulling and early engaging during scrums.
Dark arts... Fris Frans sal Leer en volgende week gaan nie makliker raak nie...
Scrums are not all about brüt strength. Technique is very important for smaller packs. If they don’t have that they don’t have a chance. 😊well done SA
Springboks will get better as the season goes on....they loosened their defence in the latter stages of the game and conceded some soft tries, Lots of work ons for the boks. Credit to Ireland tho, they are one hell of a rugby team.
The reality is Ireland are only a RWC quarters team at best, MOVE ON.
thought the Ref was going to clock Doris if he didn't shut up.At no stage did Ireland have a purple patch. Boks were in their face the whole match. TMO was harsh but Boks deserved the win for unceasing pressure.
It’s so nice to have the Irish fans in South Africa. Pity it’s not a 3 game series.
Ireland need to give some time to younger players. We have a serious issue when we miss a few of our best players. Never going to have the depth of the other teams but we are seriously lacking.
What are you smoking, we’re playing SA best team in the world we lose by a score chance to win, and you want to get rid of them. Ireland have played some great rugby collecting many trophy’s ove 20 years and you think we have serious issues , absolute nuts ..
@@davidwalker2402you are so correct. Ireland are an amazing team. You could have beaten SA at Loftus. No need to change the team. I believe next week you can pull it off in Durban. Good luck Ireland. Much love from SA. May the best team win. 🇿🇦
@@davidwalker2402 did you read the comment? didn't say get rid of anyone but to give experience to younger players for the future.
@@nogamenolife705 what’s Osborne only a young kid prendergast a kid so Ireland choose to bring young players on tour including WC to become familiar with international rugby. You think it would be better to bring young talent in to play against a full fledged world number 1 team away from home. Thank god you have nothing to do with the Irish set up. It’s hard to fault Irish set up and how the have grown amazing talent not by putting them in green. What you said was nonsense.
@@teddydavid1026 and you deduct that because we lost by one score to the back to back WC in their own back yard. So many clowns on here.
Felt it was a tough game, as a Bok fan I really enjoyed watching them spray the ball around a bit. Ireland I felt got away with a few around the breakdown which meant Faf didn’t have clean ball often. A really good game of tough rugby from the 2 best teams in the world.
Yes YES Siya played like a man posessed in the first half
EXCELLENT going‼️
👊🔥

When it was a boks scrum, they dominated. When it was an Irish scrum, Ireland did not take the hit, winning free kicks. Refs need to sort that out. The reason why they went back to ruck to call off the Irish try, is because you can’t go off your feet on the opposition side of the ruck and kick the ball back. Even just lying there prevents a clean out for SA. Aki wasn’t holding his weight over the ball, resting on his arms, that’s a penalty to the boks anyway. Really simple. Ireland in Ireland when they beat SA by 3 points a couple years back, kicked a ball forward through the ruck, which you can’t do, and went on to score a try from it. which should not have stood. The rub of the green went Irelands way that day? SA got the call their way this time. Best team won if you look at the entire game. The usual Ireland attack was totally missing today.
Snyman tackle was a red and disallowing the Irish try while allowing the other was nonsense. They were robbed.
@@ashleigh3021 It is unfortunate that the Irish player got hurt, but the Snyman tackle was 100% legal.
@@Bennusan1 It was late though
@@ashleigh3021snyman tackle was legal. The Irish player fell wrong. TMO viewed it and ruled it a rugby incident.
@@ashleigh3021 Kolbe's try was fine. If you want to pick a bad decision by the refs, Kolbe was offside at the kick-off where he charged down Lowe's in-goal clearance. The 5m scrum that followed determined the match. If the TMO was good enough to spot Kelleher's boot helping the ball back in a messy ruck, how did he miss a 'clear and obvious' offside at the kick-off? Because it would have been too embarrassing for the ref and AR's who missed it.
Glad I found this channel! Thanks guys!! 🇿🇦👊
First time seeing your channel. Love your analysis and views. Unbiased and honest. Keep it up.
Much appreciated
What's next week's title going to be; 'Springboks finally beat Ireland 2 games in a row'? 😅
As Irish fans we need to avoid the tendency to whine: the Irish team was good, not tired, nor disappointed by TMO decisions - they just couldn’t play their game because the Boks were better.
I must say, the SA fans have been very gracious on every comment section I have seen since the match.
Genuine rugby fans are like that from most countries. It's always only a small fraction of idiots leaving stupid comments that get the most attention.
Well done yesterday SA. No excuses from us. Best of luck next weekend. Hopefully it'll be a cracker
Agree that SA were the better team, but Ireland held their own too. Casey was excellent given whose shoes he was filling. If they don't have serious injuries and can recover fully, they still have a good chance to win next Saturday.
This is not about religion, ideologies or personal beliefs.
It's about the essence of speech and the freedom to use it (without abuse) that people use through custom and practise and is a basic human right.
No democratic, sentient, ethical society can police speech, dictating how it's citizens and Jounalists use language.
Enoch was illegally sacked and imprisoned by his employers because he declined to speak in class using his employers mandatory changes to the english language and thereby his written speech. This is unlawful.
The Irish taxpayers will pay back the huge financial settlements that the Justice, and Education deparments will spend compensating his unlawful sacking and imprisonment. Our government is happy to hope this will blow over and if not, happy to let the Irish public taxes pay huge sums to Enoch, instead of more hospital doctors and beds for the silly Irish taxpayers who also fund the beautiful racehorses winning millions for their owners then sent to torture deaths on shannonside, also the vast tax sums hand-outs to the men who breed doggies in their millions for racing drugging, sickness and more horror deaths down some boreen or shipped to countries you or I would be scared to visit.
Once they bought in Tony Brown and knew the Boks were going to try and run the ball - HINT to Ireland - use the umbrella rush defence!
We won because we won. Because we Won
We won because 27>20
@@teddydavid1026the trouble with stupid people is they don’t know they are stupid. Suggest you don’t waste your time replying to them.
Yeah but most importantly is that we won. 😂
Incredible game. Fantastic Irish tries. Wel played Ireland.
Great game.Respect to both teams 🇮🇪
I think the Springboks can improve a lot as well though. Ireland really disrupted their breakdown. And the scrums favoured Ireland for the first hour.
Ireland got caught wide against England too, in almost the same way as the Boks did for the first try. Its something Rassie would have noticed. The last 20 minutes were weird. So many mistakes that led to scores. Lowe did not use his head in the late minutes.
Shocking takes there lads. How can Irish media say their players are tired from a long season, they literally play in the same domestic league as the Bok players. I think it shows that the Irish are relieved it was not a big pumping and just 7 points. But we cannot deny that Ireland showed resilience 2nd half but they couldn’t attack and play the way we have seen in the past because of the Bok pressure. Matter of fact Boks seem to be the only team that consistently pressures Ireland to a point where they do not flow in their attack and sort of have to hang on. I think James Lowe was your best player despite that mistake at the restart. But again I think Ireland was hanging on there 3 or 4 instances where the Boks were in your 22 with phases but then Boks would make a silly mistake and the difference would be that the mistake would not be because of Ireland defence but just silly mistakes. On the other hand when Ireland had possession in the bok 22, their mistakes were caused by that bok pressure defence and being dominated physically. Ireland are starting to look like pre-Farrel Ireland again lol
So you agree it was an offense by Ireland but you're questioning the TMO intervention.. it still stays an offense so correct call
The problem with the Tmo in this case is he picked up the technical foul but than didn't point out the neck roll which would have overtaken the technical foul and the try would stand. I believe SA were the better team an deserved the win but call was a bit much. I believe if was the other way around all boks would agree
@@ColmOCallaghan-i6bbut offences aren't overlooked because of foul play. Based on your own evaluation of the situation, the game is stopped and a penalty is given to Ireland for the neck roll. The try does not stand. You don't play on if you're on penalty advantage and knock the ball on, for example, so why would the referee ignore the illegal action on the ground just because there was a neck roll?
From bok fans, you guys were tough!!
👍 respect to both teams 🇮🇪
Thank you for you post. As a Bok supporter it’s always good to get a balanced view. While both teams will acknowledge their mistakes, I do think numbers 1 & 2 put on a good show. To be honest, the margin flatters the Boks a little, the game was a lot closer. Had one or two calls gone the other way, we could be looking at a different outcome.
The Irish pack demonstrated that they can mix it up with the best, at times I recognized moments of dominance. I’m sure the Boks will focus on the scrums over the coming week. Another area of focus will be to reduce turnovers, Josh had a great game.
Having followed Pollard from school level he was slightly off, I think Tony Browns influence is great - it’ll take Pollard a while to make this style of play second nature. He’s a quality player, I believe Tony Brown can take him to a new level.
Last comment from me is to acknowledge your 9/10 combination, I believe it has huge potential.
Looking forward to a brilliant game in Durban 👏👏👏
Finally? Ireland have won once here ever.
Ireland won a game in South Africa during the last tour in 2016
They were tired? Mate SA teams play in the same league as the Irish and only 4 players play in altitude. Leinster rest their players every 2nd game as well😂
Great rugby from both teams. I thought Luke Pierce was very disrespectful when talking to
Doris.
Pollard had a shocker. Missed how many kicks against Ireland ,again. Ireland a great side we’ll take any win against them.
I thought Pollard was going to be the difference in this game. He wasnt but still the Boks won. Great signs for SA.
Probably living so close to the poms is making u lot complain about the ref
This was not Springbok rugby...the scrumhalf was left to defend himself against Irelands loose forwards! Not sure about the Tony Brown stuff!!!😮
I feel confident for next week. Pity JGPark is injured. He’s so important for the Irish team. Well done SA 😊
Bok fan, Ireland have my respect they did really well to hang in there, the change in game plan definitely caught Ireland off guard, as the saying goes, "you can't play without the ball" the Boks denied them ball by not kicking it away and for the most part did so effectively and Ireland could not get momentum to impose their game plan.
Love the feed back from u guys as a SA fan bring on next week
go Bokke - good game both sides had moments - some decisions went against Ireland but I think we edged it
Great to see a good few respectful SA comments here.Well done.
The frightening truth is that the Boks can still get better, has serious depth. For the Irish, this is as good as it gets..
I’m a die hard Bok supporter…but you wrong my brother Ireland where nowhere near there best thankfully, because SA where very sloppy
Ireland can play better but I think the Boks squad have more potential for developing into a better and stronger team.
Got to take these guys with a pinch of salt. As you do a couple of SA sports pundits.
Been waiting patiently for the content !
I don't want to hear their excuses. They have won thev6 Nations, and therefore their team is well oiled and has momentum.
They claimed they were coming to show us who the real World Champions are.
They lost.
Boks dominated large portions of the game.
Ireland are left with egg on their face. AGAIN, poor sportsmanship.
Congratulate the Boks and move on to the next game. But no, it's because of this and that reason they lost.
Am tired of these Northern teams poor sportsmanship.
(They claimed they were going to show us who the real World champions were.)
Okay point me to one place , just one place where you saw this ?
Ireland media and fans had ye favourites and worried going into this if you checked this very site last week .
Stop lying for your own self gratification.
Ye are giving yerselfs a nasty look here.
Go and enjoy yer win and stop holding a grudge on games in the past. It's unhealthy
Both sets of players are tired - Bok players also have less together time than Ireland’s - Bok (uncharacteristic) mistakes led to 2 very soft tries - but agree, 2 vey good sides and both not at their best.
Congrats to SA. The better team on the day. They played some great rugby. They're only going to get better as the attack evolves. I got the impression that Ireland were always just hanging in there. The disallowed try was a massive momentum changer.
“It would have been a smash and grab if they (Ireland) had won it.”
That’s the most accurate summation of the Irish game I’ve heard so far. Seriously Well done to the Irish though, they had us on the edge of our seats there for a while. They fought hard to stay in it. Great character.
I understand the frustration around the Refs calls, those 50/50 calls usually go against the Boks. Trust me when I say, Boks fans know the feeling. I was shocked, absolutely shocked to see two 50/50 calls go for them. It’s a rare thing indeed.
It’s tough when it’s two calls that take tries away though 😅 Lowes hand off on I think pollards face was lovely
No chance for them in Durban. Ireland were always chasing.
Will Ireland ever hit their supreme levels when playing NZ and SA? the wait continues and that excuse is on it's last legs
High altitude. Only Kurt-Lee Arendse and Willie le Roux play for Bulls, plus two replacements, Steenekamp and Marco van Staden. So 19 of Springboks 23 not used to altitude.
The score would have been wider had pollard gotten hus kicking in order. We let alot of points go with those misses
Osborne was really good and solid, great debut!
Was a great game.. pollard missed a few points , Kwagga made some big mistakes with the kick off balls . Boks were not at thier best either
I agree im sure both teams will be up for the next and be better.Boks have 80min of data now to tap into
Don't get how Le Roux neck roll on Kelleher was missed. Mad decision to disallow that try
How about Doris? Man literally disregarded the breakdown, playing the ball off his feet and got away with it
kak
There were missed calls both ways ❤
Pete o mahoney looked his age bundee was not at the pace to
Nah POM looks about 55.
Bundee is off the juice. Despite his genetics, his size reduction, when he was so full in the WC, but with muscle head definition, particularly around hia calfs, traps, delts, and upper pec: he was on roids. Also spoke to a physio that treated him in Galway - they felt the same. Anyone with keen eyes that are gymgoers would feel this is a valid suspicion, and yet, no one has dared to say it openly. He's poorer because he's very possibly off a cycle.
@@andrewbrennan4423 Yeah sure Mr Keen Eyes with physio friend.
Bundee looks brain dead. Speed from the ruck isn’t going to win anything.
@@andrewbrennan4423as a fitness enthusiast, I've seen this so much in our Bok team, when certain players are off the juice and look a shell of their former selves, and being on the juice is also psychological,you belive on yourself more.
For most parts of the game I thought the ref was more lenient towards the Irish in the breakdown. Both teams have a lot to improve
They got away with alot at breakdown which nobody is mentioning
Top class review
Both great teams but in my opinion too many small mistakes from both teams. Big credit to Ireland from a Springbok supporter.
Waiting for next test in Durban.
Now these idiots are targeting the ref. The past 3 matches of SA vs ireland, the ref won the game for you guys too but they would never question that
Come on we all are on the same side when it comes to the ref…would you rather win convincingly or have a narrow win at home at altitude versus a side that scored more tries and keeping in mind the TMO weren’t suppose to intervene as much and the only times they did was when Ireland scored a try 🤣
@@unleashedmystery What did the ref get wrong. Explain yourself. Dont just state things
@@RugbyFactsKelleher didn't hook the ball back from Lowe's try and Doris did touch the ball on the line for his. That's it's basically.
@@RugbyFacts can you explain "now these idiots"?
@@stiofain88 i think you were watching a different game. The irish have been called out for their subtle interferences in the rucks, now you guys are complaining because penalties are being conceded. Doris grounded the ball short, hence the double movement. Idk if you watched another game but those are the factual reasons why the TMO disallowed the tries
They didnt play to their usual standards.
This has become a trend with Ireland since NZ QF 2023.
Ireland need to adapt.
Great that you speak about the ‘energy going out of the stadium’
SUCH an important ‘16th man’ factor all the time ~ for whichever side
TMO role def is shit, really : simply stated‼️
👊🔥🥂
🪖
All sa channel say we were humbled desite Lowe gifting them 2 tries....
I think the Boks have a bit more scope to improve.
Here come the excuses 😂
The ref was english ... im almost 100% sure he is not a Bok fan .
Honestly, both teams were sub standard. A lot of errors and rusty play. I don't accept the excuses of fatigue or even altitude, because most of the players, on both teams play over seas. I think only Willie and Arendse played in the Highveld last season (I could be wrong).
It was a good competitive game, but definitely not at the quality that we know both teams were at during the WC. On the day, Boks the better team, but gave away some soft tries, just like Ireland. I think it's always going to difficult to match that incredible pool game at the World Cup. In my opinion, the 2nd best game of the tournament behind the Ireland-NZ game.
We beat Ireland, but none us in South Africa snub our noses at the Irish,……obviously , we’ll will do the occasional teasing between fans ,…but every Saffa acknowledges Ireland rugby is top tier 🔥
Same here in Ireland. I myself have a saffa, nz and french jersey as well as my leinster and Ireland ones. Rugby is life and if my team ever lose I always tune in the matches even if they’re out. Hell I use to just pick South Africa in the PlayStation rugby 08 game 😅
Yay Ireland are the best team in the world. NOT. jesus you believe your own press. Worlds best team. NOT
🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Ireland media and fans had South Africa to win this series. If you go on to the sites these past weeks, you will see this .
I swear ye just look to be offended ever since we got the better of ye these past years.
Lose the chip and enjoy the win ..
Great game. Well done SA
And If you loose blame the ref
Thr Springboks are still a bit rusty after not playing together fot so long - it look like a start of season game for them. Which it was. Ireland's defense was exceptional.
The Boks should have won much further. They won every single stat and, of course, attempted, for the first time, to implement a brand new game plan (thanks to Tony Brown). The Boks have also not just finished a 6 Nations tournament, they had only played Wales two weeks ago, their first match since RWC 2023. Oh, and by the way ...
Southern Hemisphere 6, Northern Hemisphere 1.

New Zealanders and South Africans constantly bring this up about Northern hemisphere resentment. I don't get it personally
@@celtic1916 Well this might come as a surprise to you mate: when Oz takes on the British and Irish Lions next year, at least all Saffers, Kiwis and Argies will back the Wallabies. You see, the B&I-L tours are exactly that: the North taking on the South. That's how the North/South thing started. We just don't like the pretenders from the North. #Simple & #Sorry
@wouterswanepoel5753 It might come as a surprise to you that the French and Italian Georgian, etc, are not involved in the British and Irish Lions.
Argentina are not too bothered on the Irish and British Lions playing Australia.
The same with Chile v Hong Kong or Fiji v Georgia etc . . There is no rivalries just because they are on the other sides of an equator line.
I think it's more New Zealand South Africa and Australia that have this issue and lump everyone in as all.
@@Corrie-fs5wp As much as the Europeans have their rivalries, the South's nations do too. For ages. Hence we respect one another so much. But it's not only for rugby reasons that we hate the North, it's (among many other things) also for the way the British treated my female and child ancestors when they stuck them in concentrations camps here in South Africa during the Anglo Boer War. Over 100,000 Boer civilians, mostly women and children, were forcibly relocated into concentration camps, where 26,000 died, mostly by starvation and disease. That's over and above the way this country was plundered of its wealth by the British during that time. And similar atrocities were committed not only by the Brits, but by other European nations during the days of co-called colonisation everywhere in the South. The South doesn't actually like you. Just know it and accept it. And understand why we just LOVE funking you up in every which way.
But that's the British you speak of , Why add Georgia or Hong Kong or Italy or France or whoever to what happened to you in the hands of the British.
The British were responsible for the the deaths of millions of Irish people in my country including the history of the Great famind . but we are both the Northern hemisphere. Yet he still have the Northern chip for Ireland too . Look at the British and India for example too . Again India is the Northern hemisphere.
I chould go on forever on examples.
about countries that got pillaged by another country. Sure the Dutch were no angels in colonial times.
I don't get why you talk about British history and lump Ireland or Georgia or Hong Kong or France or whoever in as all the same .
It doesn't make sense and gone completely of the track why ye have beef with Northern hemisphere rugby .
Each to their own but very strange
Only love and respect for the Irish team, probably the new rivals for SA for the foreseable future.
Apologies for our fans singing your Zombie song, personnaly I believe we should stop singing it, it is disrepectful.
From a Saffer.
We didn't even realise ye were trying to be disrespectful, we probably should have assumed seeing as who was singing it, but we just thought ye had no good songs of your own.
Pearce was poor Whitehorse brutal As for the Scottish linesman who couldn’t see Lowe handling the ball in touch as for Whitehouse !
