Wow, what an incredible turn of events! With Morne Steyn returning to the Springbok Squad to secure victory again twelve years after this epic moment!!! I honestly believed him to be retired from test rugby! Congratulations for the series win, from an Argentinean SA rugby fan!
Let’s go Bokke!! What a match this was. Here’s to a repeat series win in 2021! This team will forever be etched into the memories of us Bok supporters. 🇿🇦❤️🔥
Everyone talks about how Schalk should have been red-carded for the eye gouge (and they have a point) but conveniently overlook diving into the head of a player long after the try was scored, the assault on Danie Rossouw and the dangerous tackle in the air by O'Gara. Only two players were cited after this game, Schalk Burger and Bakkies Botha. Bakkies was cited and suspended for a perfectly legitimate clean out on Adams (?).
Yeah man, it's incredible seeing just how much has changed within the rules and regulations over the past several years. Nowadays, that would be a red and automatic 3-week ban at the least 🤣
@@ryanbonner25Sir someone had gotten a.yellow for.trying to pull someone's eyes out, but they need to chill with the punishments? I'm scared of you. Lol
Heaslip. Today we would have seen red cards for both him and O'Driscoll for that high hit on Rossouw. I will be the first to agree that Schalk also would have been red carded and probably should have been, but I find the Lions' fans tend to overlook the infringements from their own side.
@@thegulagarchipelago5921 he played in 2 world cups, Springboks didn't win 2011 & 2015. I'm saying it's a shame that the time he played the team didn't win a World Cup.
The craziest thing about this match, Fourie and Steyn were starting on the bench. Two world class players that PDV left on the bench for most of the game
No I don't think so, because he landed relatively safely. But the late hit by Heaslip on Habana when he scored and the high hit by O'Driscoll on Rossouw (not shown here) certainly would have.
The Boks spent the entire match catching up from the initial 10 point deficit GIFTED by Schalk. It was not a yellow card because of pressure from the Lions. Quite the opposite; the Boks had a penalty due to their superior rolling maul. Boks clearly the better team on the day when you take the gifting into account. This is the point the UK press failed to address. It was a gift. The Lions team would have been quite happy if the Boks had committed further unforced foul play.
Having looked at it again, all of the Lions players were offside. He therefore should have put it deep into the South Africa 22 as there was still 30 seconds to go.
@@MrLebowski1980 yes, but it would take a brave fullback to launch a counterattack in the 79th minute. When players are under pressure you often will see sliced clearances into touch. All hypothetical though.
That's right - during this era PDV decided to move him to tighthead when Bismarck's inclusion as starting hooker could no longer be avoided as he was too damn good. It didn't always work out that well as Smitty sometimes gave away a few scrum penalties, but I feel his value as a captain was FAR more important than his skill as a prop....which wasn't bad at all.
It was accidental and not intentional ... todays game yes a red card... 2021 this game would have had 10 red cards with all the late, high hits ... u can agree to disagree ...
There was no TMO protocol back then so we had to rely on what the linesman saw. Since the linesman was Bryce Lawrence, it's a fucking miracle he saw anything at all. Definitely, under today's protocols, it would have been a red. But then O'Driscoll ("tackle" on Danie Rossouw) , O'Gara (taking man out in the air) and probably Heaslip (diving on Habana after a try was scored, hitting him in the head with his forearm / elbow) would have seen a red as well.
@@fearmorpiercemacmaghnais7186 i am aware that yes that why its called the british AND Irish lions. I also know that the lions are uk based and the majority of players are from the uk thats why i call them a uk side
Where do you northerners get your confidence from? You've won 1 out of 9 World Cups, You win a test series in the Southern Hemisphere once every 20 years and out of the last 10 Lions Tours, you've only won 3 lol

A repeat indeed and amazingly Steyn with the winning points again!
Morné Steyn did it again 12 years later.
Do we have knighthoods in South Africa? Give Steyn two, one for each Lions tour he's clinched.
Thanks Ronan O'Gara we thought of owing you one but decided against it. Thanks anyhow. From South Africa.
What a day what a match, Jacque Fourie just brilliant....

To be fair if I pushed Danie I'd run away too lol
@Mako VuniPolarBear we will be running away from you many times soon in the direction of the try line😂
@Mako VuniPolarBear 😂😂….and prefer a pie and a pint😋
how their number 8 tackled Habana 3 seconds later, with a shoulder charge, and got away with it shows how the rules have changed since

Spies was an absolute unit
This tour in 2021 will not be the same with no spectators 🤕
Very sad
Absolutely not, hoping they atleast allow a few thousands in, imagining a springbok lions test played in empty stadium is just sad.
we still won the tour because we are strong bokks
Because of crap heads ruling the world
ROG came on, got bumped off Fourie, and then tackles a man in the air. Nightmare.
He got steam rolled by Spies about 2min before Fourie bumped him off too
In this lesson today we learn the definition of a clutch and what it looks like
True that. Morne Steyn = legend.
Jarre morne steyn my redder🙏🏻
O'Gara was MVP... for the boks 🤣
Here in 2022 and that Jaque Fourie finish is out of this world.
I hope we do it to them again.....Bokke!
I see why Steyn was chosen in the squad
really cool video Official Springbok TH-cam. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the first-rate work.
ZA respect
He came back to haunt the Lions 12 years later. He’s still got it after all that time.
To this day, that is the fastest yellow I've seen in an international 😁
It was plain stupidity 🤣
That Steyn guy looks good. I recon he'll be a great player one day...
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
Played 7 years and scored over 700 points, biggest shame is he never got a World Cup title.

The craziest thing about this match, Fourie and Steyn were starting on the bench. Two world class players that PDV left on the bench for most of the game
We had a scrumhalf at flyhalf and a hooker at tight head too
An even crazier fact is the boks won the series without a coach
Do you think this is where Rassie got inspiration for the BOMBSQUAD from? Players used to maintain dominance or even increase it🤔😅
That last penalty would’ve been a red card in today’s rugby
No I don't think so, because he landed relatively safely. But the late hit by Heaslip on Habana when he scored and the high hit by O'Driscoll on Rossouw (not shown here) certainly would have.
Passion beats Arrogance
12 years on…STEYN!!!!
Our heroes. Go Bokke!
Absolutely no question on the Fourie try. The foot that cuts theline is a Lions foot. Fourie is in play all the way through.
Morras you beauty
Great game!
24 Years of bragging rights...Its great to be a Bok supporter..BOKKE FOR LIFE

This game is just similar to this one of the 2021
O’Gara knew he’d messed up.
As he was walking back to the poles
You can see it on his face
53.7m kick, 3 meters beyond the half wayline... Sheer madness.
Bakkies Botha: I know they hated seeing him coming. Lol
1:52 Little bit of hows your Father...Little bit of handbags !
I hope every bok in the squad bought Ronan a drink to say thank-you.
Can you upload the full match?
You didn't include how the entire stadium was calling for Morne to come on?
Haha, Loftus!
The more things change the Morne Steyn the same.

Jesus, that's a lot of red jerseys! I never knew you could this many away fans at a match.
Much better listening to professional commentary rather than those whining, biased poms.
As someone who is not super familiar with rugby and its tactics, what should Ronan o gara have done instead of the garry Owen at the end.
To kick the ball out for a draw (25 all) and try and win the 3rd test to draw the series 1 - 1

Even Pat Lambie would have scored that goal.Everytime springboks play against Irish most definitely we gonna see a fight
Really now? That hard to give credit where it is due?
