And now look at them. These are the Bok's stats since the beginning of 2023: Played 18, won 15, lost 3 (83% win rate) Points for 593 Points against 278 Average score 33-15 So on average over the last 18 matches the Boks have won by 18 point. Madness!!
Well I hope they can turn around because world rugby is better for it. However, my concern is whether they have the feeder system for it. The Bok side turned around but at the time that side was actually already full of good players, it just needed better coaching and leadership team plus there is a factory line of rugby player production.
I am a Bok supporter living in Australia. I have many Kiwi and Aussie mates and am loving life at the moment. They now know I I felt for many years. During those bad days our stadiums were also half full while the Wallabies and All Black matches were sold out. As you guys said, people like winners! The diversity in the Bok setup as grown the playing pool in SA as well as being able to pick the right players no matter where they ply their trade. The All Blacks and Wallabies need to do the same. Go Bokke!
Wildkard ranting 😂 On one of Wildkard's videos he said his neighbours complained because he was so loud early in the morning. He was having a big rant 🤣🤣 Wildkard knows his stuff.
Fully agree. With the amount of Springboks praying before and after the game you should know your audience better, even though you might not share the same faith it is a matter of respect.
Well... The statement is true... Regardless which God he mentioned, Aussie rugby will need more than that, I enjoyed the comment from themoneyman. Considering both teams probably prayed to JC for a win, he liked the Springboks more, wicked sense of humor
To be fair I think everyone that follows rugby channels on YT knows exactly who wildcard is. I doubt there is any rugby channel that I haven't heard of.
Australia is too woke to fix rugby. The same is happening in New Zealand just at a slower rate. Nothing says 'toxic masculinity' like being a rugby player.
Yeh everyone grits their teeth during the "Welcome to Country". I live in this country, I don't need to be welcomed every time I watch fckn sport. They are constantly calling every non-aboriginal citizen an invader to this country. Fckn shits me.
This was one of the best episodes ever! Kevin Furgason, you are so right about the nanny states and how that impacts rugby (among other more important things). We must resist that in South Africa at all cost.
South African Rugby is in a special place, one thing Rassie manage to fix is the family business within the springboks, now you can see pure talents that deserve to be there, and as a supporter you can get behind our team 100 percent, boks to win tournament 💯
Speaking of physicality and brutality. I loved that moment when Alaatoa came around the corner, and Kolbe hit him so hard you could hear Alaatoa go "umph!" as he was hit. That sums it up in a nutshell.
As a saffa who moved to Aus I can tell you rugby is dead here. Back in SA, we used to have rugby discussion in the office the whole week before and after a test. I work at a company with around 100 employees and I have not heard one person talking about rugby in 3 years!!!
This whole conversation is like being a Bok supporter in the Allister Coetzee era. We were in the exact same position as the wallabies are now!! Stay humble out there!! Love you Bokke!!
Hit the nail on the head re the South African vibe. We are a frontier at almost every level of the human experience - always have been; frontiers are messy, robust and even violent, it is where the rules are made on the fly and everything is negotiable. The best thing about a frontier is that you don't ask for permission. Woke cannot survive or take root here - thankfully.
Agree with Money Man 💰 Cobus was underwhelming. We have 8 quality scrum halves you have to take your opportunities when given. Would love to see Am and Mapimpi get some game time this weekend but from the bench as Kriel and Arendse have been on fire.🔥
As a welsh onlooker the only thing i would say in an otherwise great performace is they still prefer to physically dominate the oppisition as is their DNA as opposed to new zealand at their best where the dominance is translared efficirntly to the scoreboard i think the boks left about 20 points behind it could hsve been 50 plus but the win was important and with something to spare and given the number of pumas in the north the decision by aus and nz to say the bok tesms were persona non grata in super rugby is looking worse and worse every year it must be hard to see the boks and their feeder tesms improve year on year while nz seem to hsve lost their aura i agree the boks need to be ruthless
Boks like to win by less than 7… they almost seemed reluctant to score. Agreed, these boks take 100% of 3 chances against stingy opponents , but when the opponent makes it easy they can become their worst enemy.
As a AB'S fan,SA are the best team going around and i think they will be for some time going on form. I hope I'm wrong but there playing some potent rugby at the moment. Can't wait to play you guys..
I was at the game. It was sold Out. I think it emptied a bit when a fair few Aussies thought it was going to be 50-0. Also the crowd was close to 50/50 SA fans to Aussies so they didn't have much choice other than to show South African Fans.
This is such a good show. Three rugby analysts with good insight and all their thoughts and remarks are mixed up in a melting pot which produces such a good outcome. Thanks from Durban.👏👏👏
If I was part of AusRugby I would do everything I can to attract SA player to play for the unions and super rugby teams. Have at least 5+ players in each team to lift the quality and make them Wallabies if you have. Do what the UK and Japan do!!
Australia has other options. Aussie Rules and Rugby League are very simple games with zero referee/ umpire influence. Aussie Rules can drew 90,000 for a club game. League is a very simple game with no contest for possession. Nobody knows what’s going on in a rugby match except the referee and he is often wrong. The contest for possession defines rugby but for some inane reason World Rugby keeps trying to undermine it.
Came for the Wildkard - was not disappointed. Imho Aussies are too comfortable in the bosom of the Nanny, and don't know what adversity or hardship feels like (like some of our Bokke do). So when the cookie crumbles, Aussies get into a negative emotional headspace rather than becoming more determined and unified. Reminds of Darkest Dungeon and your dudes are at death's door, when their resolve is tested. Boks/Argies get positive, Aussies and Kiwis get negative. Parallels 3rd world vs 1st world struggles, culture and ways of life. Maybe. I don't know, I'm just a random person on the internet 🤷♂
If u know soccer in the 90s ..i compare spring boks to brazilian football team...so talented lots of player's to choose from and new good youngsters coming up...scarry for the world..how to stop them???

I have to agree with your sentiments. I am ex Maritzburg College but live in Perth. Love my rugby. My son loves basketball so I started coaching his. Whilst not a collision sport it is contact and can be physical, trying to get the boys to realise they’re allowed to be rough with each is a nightmare. They’re constantly taught to “mind their own space” “don’t touch each other” “stay in your bubble”. Then you put them on a court and tell them it’s ok to foul the other other guy to stop a basket. It just doesn’t work. That’s basketball. I’d hate to know what the poor rugby coaches are dealing with.
Thanks guys - love that you brought in the "wokeness" trap in Australia and many other countries - it's actually a disease that leads to the population not being comfortable with DISCOMFORT - and rugby is not comfortable by any means - rugby hurts when you play it and while you are hurting you have to front up for the next tackle BECAUSE you can't let your team mates down AND you can't let yourself down - wokeness takes that all away from you...
It's interesting though. Even when the boks were down (and they been down a few times!) they were still supported. Yes we bitched about the coach and we complain. But we show up and wear the jerseys.
Extremely disrespectful to talk about Jesus in that way! Very disappointed in that being aloud in the content, it has absolutely no place in the conversation. If you cannot think about an intelligent thing to say, just keep quiet or leave it alone but to insult the Lord and Saviour of many who watch your content is uncalled for.
Important to remember that Rassie and co will be looking at the next world cup, so we are seeing new players being blooded. I think the Aussies will pitch up for this one. They will still get smashed but they will probably put up a performance to be proud of. Never under estimate AB's. They will not be happy about losing a home game to Arg. Expect to see something dangerous looking from them.
Definitely some food for thought about that ''nanny state,'' comment. I think there is some influence of this new Australian culture killing some of that great Aussie wildman spirit.
australia doesn't produce rugby players because you get paid twice as much on average to play league/afl, there are no people at the games, the high schools that play rugby don't promote rugby as a career trajectory. Far from rugby being alienating because it is brutal, it has a reputation as being for rich people because it is played by private schools in qld/nsw. On the nanny state, executive governments don't create negligence laws; it's not the nanny state making young players tackle low and not too hard or whatever. In general I would welcome a functional regulatory government in Australia and I'm thoroughly pleased I don't endure whatever hellish decay-state south african government delivers.
I was at the game on Saturday and for me the telling point was seeing the Aussie not even attempt to chase down clearance kicks from the Boks. You could see that had already checked out mentally and essentially just waiting for the final whistle. Sad to see the state of Australian rugby
Jeez everyone said the same when we lost 52 zero to NZ. I also remember about 10 years ago everyone said the Aussies are losing players. Not long after that they stepped it up. If NZ can produce world class players AUS can. SA only had a 'W' with one point wins. Get off your high horses man.
I think South African rugby fans and pundits are mistaken to believe the school system that has done so well to bring South African rugby this far will continue to lay the golden eggs. South African rugby for its own survival needs to invest in underdeveloped parts of the country to insure its own longevity. Do it now because all this success is 8 key injuries away from us head scratching with our mouths open, trying to beat Romania.
Only agree on lack of investment in smaller communities. Sa rugby has a huge untapped market in Eastern Cape if you look at the fans that come to matches but infrastructure is poor. Rugby is still a elite sport.
That's not true, SA schools are a rugby player factory, just go watch the games and follow the players, the least of the problems in SA rugby is the number of upcoming brilliant players, the problem is they don't get recognised and the talent slips through the system. National teams only keep an eye on about 100 players, that's it. I think there will be more effort in the future to scope out the youngsters but there's no debate that the SA schools are pumping out incredible rugby talent which most other countries could only dream of which is why foreign countries are so keen to follow the SA schools to see who they can poach.
@@groenrizla2513 what about the schools that don’t have rugby? There are tens of thousands of those. That’s what I’m talking about. Also, there are amateur soccer games up and down the country. Rugby can really get a foot in there too and have similar footprint. I think concerning ourselves with what the Europeans and Australasians are doing is a mistake. We need to innovate to a point where people from places like Alice don’t have to leave home.
Being a South African living in Australia, I can tell you from experience, that there is absolutely no atmosphere at rugby games here. It's so different to South Africa.
Why do you the money man have to use my Lord and Saviour's name as a way to put your point accross? Jesus can do anything. Keep it to rugby and leave religion out of it. Thank you❤
As predicted SA won and won well. Like everyone else, I thought that that would be the outcome, but I also thought the Aussies had the potential to cause an upset, that didn't happen. Congratulations SA. I thought the AB's would win by 10-15 points. That didn't happen. Congratulations Argentina. But, it's only round 1 of the competition. Anything can happen this coming Saturday and moving forward. If the SB do win (which is what should happen) this Saturday, but they only just win or even lose, how will these guys react. If the Wallabies just lose or win and win well, then what. I remember the SB were favourites to win the RC in 2022. It would have been their first RC title in a long time. They got spanked in the second test by the AB's in their own back yard. I wouldn't be too quick to write any team off at this stage. Sure, get excited about your teams performance, but we're only at the starting point. I find it a little odd that the old bloke keeps stating that Oz and NZ have become nanny states and somehow it's made them weaker in rugby and in general throughout. Ummm... Hate to burst his bubble, but NZ has been classified as a nanny state for the past 30 to 40 years and yet, the AB's have dominated the Boks and everyone other rugby playing nation, physically, mentally and with a high level of skill set for the most part over that period. Politics aside, could it be that it's the SB time to shine. It's their moment in the spotlight. The SB have been in the AB's shadow for such a long time, they've now manage to rightfully claim the number one status by themselves and sit at the top of the mountain on their own, while everyone else is chasing. It's a nice position to be in. Enjoy the moment. Not sure how long they'll be there for, Ireland and France are close and want a piece. The AB's and England are still at the crossroads and Argentina is a hungry beast. This competition is wide open and it's there for anyone. The only clarity that is certain, we know who the front-runners are on the first week of the competition. It will be interesting to see if the Boks can dominate like the AB's did.
He said only a few weeks ago that the Boks don't need to change they formula, and it's a stupid mindset to change a winning world cup formula. Now the Spaniard thinks the Boks are at they best 😂😅
Not just the camera, but the fucking music. Why on earth do they think we need to be more entertained. I’m there to watch the fucking rugby and that requires hearing the fucking refs and the crowd
Brute force as the basis of rugby is correct. Even Cheslin Kolbe ran over an Aussie prop! That should be one of the biggest lessons the Wallabies have to take from the Brisbane game!!! As Kevin said, Aussie boys against Bok men💪🏼
Let us never forget the path the Boks have taken since 2017, ranked 7th in that year and again in 2018. The turnaround is incredible.
And now look at them. These are the Bok's stats since the beginning of 2023:
Played 18, won 15, lost 3 (83% win rate)
Points for 593
Points against 278
Average score 33-15
So on average over the last 18 matches the Boks have won by 18 point. Madness!!
@@bwana4711 a turnaround for the Aussies are also likely

Since SA joined URC, you have pushed on and NZ and Aussies have not.
The money man uses the Lord's name in vain ,very grave move dat buddy
What on earth MM? Could you not have thought of any other analogy but to use God in this example?
The 'lord' doesn't exist
Jeez everyone said the same when we lost 52 zero to NZ. I also remember about 10 years ago everyone said the Aussies are losing players. Not long after that they stepped it up. If NZ can produce world class players AUS can. SA only had a 'W' with one point wins. Get off your high horses man.
Here for Zels
Then go to his stream.

I think South African rugby fans and pundits are mistaken to believe the school system that has done so well to bring South African rugby this far will continue to lay the golden eggs.
South African rugby for its own survival needs to invest in underdeveloped parts of the country to insure its own longevity. Do it now because all this success is 8 key injuries away from us head scratching with our mouths open, trying to beat Romania.
Nah, we have plenty of players unlucky to not get starts
@@redpilled9595 short term you have a point. But 2 SuperRugby titles and one URC title over 27 years is a worrying stat
Only agree on lack of investment in smaller communities. Sa rugby has a huge untapped market in Eastern Cape if you look at the fans that come to matches but infrastructure is poor. Rugby is still a elite sport.
That's not true, SA schools are a rugby player factory, just go watch the games and follow the players, the least of the problems in SA rugby is the number of upcoming brilliant players, the problem is they don't get recognised and the talent slips through the system.
National teams only keep an eye on about 100 players, that's it.
I think there will be more effort in the future to scope out the youngsters but there's no debate that the SA schools are pumping out incredible rugby talent which most other countries could only dream of which is why foreign countries are so keen to follow the SA schools to see who they can poach.
@@groenrizla2513 what about the schools that don’t have rugby? There are tens of thousands of those. That’s what I’m talking about. Also, there are amateur soccer games up and down the country. Rugby can really get a foot in there too and have similar footprint. I think concerning ourselves with what the Europeans and Australasians are doing is a mistake. We need to innovate to a point where people from places like Alice don’t have to leave home.
3:48 Scott, auntie's trying to get a hold of you 🤣
I'm sorry, but the moment you said JC himself cannot coach Aus to a win, you lost my support to this channel. Basphemy should never be tolerated.
Hahaha. You think JC would be able to coach the Aussies? If not, it's not blasphemy. You sound worse than those nutcases with head shawls.
Being a South African living in Australia, I can tell you from experience, that there is absolutely no atmosphere at rugby games here. It's so different to South Africa.
Rugby Union in AUS isn't popular its not there preferred sport they like Aussie rules or NRL.
Blasphemous of you,let just talk rugby.
Australia is not interested in Rugby. It's too physical for them and the men have become soft. They prefer AFL and RL which is not physical
No proper school feeder system in Australia. Rugby only played at private schools....
Why do you the money man have to use my Lord and Saviour's name as a way to put your point accross? Jesus can do anything. Keep it to rugby and leave religion out of it. Thank you❤
So, you think he would be able to coach this Aussie team. I don't think so.
6:45 the sarcasm is spot on 🤣
As predicted SA won and won well. Like everyone else, I thought that that would be the outcome, but I also thought the Aussies had the potential to cause an upset, that didn't happen. Congratulations SA. I thought the AB's would win by 10-15 points. That didn't happen. Congratulations Argentina. But, it's only round 1 of the competition. Anything can happen this coming Saturday and moving forward.
If the SB do win (which is what should happen) this Saturday, but they only just win or even lose, how will these guys react. If the Wallabies just lose or win and win well, then what. I remember the SB were favourites to win the RC in 2022. It would have been their first RC title in a long time. They got spanked in the second test by the AB's in their own back yard. I wouldn't be too quick to write any team off at this stage. Sure, get excited about your teams performance, but we're only at the starting point.
I find it a little odd that the old bloke keeps stating that Oz and NZ have become nanny states and somehow it's made them weaker in rugby and in general throughout. Ummm... Hate to burst his bubble, but NZ has been classified as a nanny state for the past 30 to 40 years and yet, the AB's have dominated the Boks and everyone other rugby playing nation, physically, mentally and with a high level of skill set for the most part over that period.
Politics aside, could it be that it's the SB time to shine. It's their moment in the spotlight. The SB have been in the AB's shadow for such a long time, they've now manage to rightfully claim the number one status by themselves and sit at the top of the mountain on their own, while everyone else is chasing. It's a nice position to be in. Enjoy the moment. Not sure how long they'll be there for, Ireland and France are close and want a piece. The AB's and England are still at the crossroads and Argentina is a hungry beast. This competition is wide open and it's there for anyone. The only clarity that is certain, we know who the front-runners are on the first week of the competition.
It will be interesting to see if the Boks can dominate like the AB's did.
He said only a few weeks ago that the Boks don't need to change they formula, and it's a stupid mindset to change a winning world cup formula. Now the Spaniard thinks the Boks are at they best 😂😅
Your JC comment was totally unacceptable and unnecessary. Please don't do that.
Agreed .constructive criticism ..leave the blaspheme out of it
We enjoy the channel without it
Cheers
My kids (Aus school) will not have contested scrums until final year!!! Right there is the problem. Everyone must be safe and win a prize
Not just the camera, but the fucking music. Why on earth do they think we need to be more entertained. I’m there to watch the fucking rugby and that requires hearing the fucking refs and the crowd
love the show but what is up with that background music for the first few minutes
Maybe just maybe Australia fired Eddie to soon. He said he has a vision maybe they should have backed him and seen where he was going
Brute force as the basis of rugby is correct. Even Cheslin Kolbe ran over an Aussie prop! That should be one of the biggest lessons the Wallabies have to take from the Brisbane game!!! As Kevin said, Aussie boys against Bok men💪🏼
