As a Springbok I am so happy to see us verse the All Blacks. I have so much respect for New Zealand rugby may the best team win. Its time for the big dogs to get going

Respect to the Boks from an AB's supporter. Can't think of a better final.

Hahahaha. The infamous lunch that Shimmy was talking about with Smit where they carried Marshall out. Marshy is absolutely wearing that lunch from the previous day 😂😂😂, absolute legend.

I’ve never heard Danny Cipriani speak at length and I’m very impressed. What a clever and nice dude.

Love reading the comments and seeing the love between us Kiwis and our friends from South Africa. Seems like the mutual respect reaches much further than the footy field and not too many other sports can say that about their fans. I am willing my ABs to win but I can accept defeat to the Bokke.

I was amazed by the comments about Rassie. He took a team that was down an out in 2017 and in 18 months won the Rugby championship , the World Cup , won the Lions series with virtually no prep due to COVID , and could be the first team to win 4 world cups defending the crown. Farrel , a great coach sure , however got to the quarter finals of the World Cup . Fozzie has dismantled the AB aura . The French coach … quarter final exit. Rassie has to deal with a complex political situation , quotas etc . He took racism completely out of the boks setup , got the whole of SA behind the team , quotas are no longer a factor in the Bok setup as Rassie has developed stars from the non white community and hence the whole of SA now fully backs the boks. On top of all that are the unbelievable results in the World Cup. Beating one of the best French sides in their own country was immense . Beating the ABs by a record score a month ago was amazing . There is no other coach that comes close to comparison with Rassies results .

I'm just so blessed to see the greatest teams in the final... 🇿🇦

Justin Marshall looks like he had a good time. Hangover deluxe.

Never Underestimate "The Springboks"..!! They have incredible resilience coupled with an innate ability to Dig Just a little bit Deeper and Hold on a little bit Longer, tapping every last ounce of their formidable reserves of energy, that few can match. Also remember that each and every Springbok player knows only too well, that every time they don the hallowed "Green and Gold", they are playing for every on of 63 million odd South Africans at home and their legion of fans across the globe. Now for the first time ever, under the inspirational captaincy of the Heroic SIYA KOLISI, the Springboks are getting huge support from other African nations. That is Huge Motivation....! " GO BOKKE.."!!

I just love Schalk, sitting there and listning, smiling ❤

KWAGGA SMITH has been the best player of the tournament!

Marshall is still cut! Schalk has a nice clear head. Springboks are still favourites for me even though I’m a kiwi (living in London).

As a South African and Sprinbok supporter im just going to wish for an awesome game from the powerhouses of world rugby!! Just glad to see a Haka being perfomed is so beautiful and scary and emotional and hoping for an epic and a boks win!!

There is a famous photograph of Danie Craven (yes: THE Doc Craven) carrying a Māori kid on his shoulders after the Springboks defeated the All Blacks in 1932. It has always epitomized the spirit of rugby to me.

Rassie deserves more praise. He selected Siya as captain, something even the former black coached never had the balls to do. He picked Mampimpi, a player with no rugby school history, from a township, as the main winger. The first time ever we saw an all black front row in a world cup (Beast, Bongi, Trevor) was under Rassie. I know people will say I’m being political, but no one has ever used the demeaning word “quota” since Rassie took over because he showed everyone that we are all South Africans and rugby is not reserved for a certain race. I think he deserves an order of something by the President.

Hahah Marshy my boy, still passed lol love it. Happens when you try and keep pace with John Smit 😂

Schalk Brits is a true gentleman.

Respect to the All Blacks from a Bokke supporter. This is what rugby dreams are made of, Springboks vs All blacks in a rugby world cup final and just like in 95 as a teenager i am nervous but I believe. Lets go Bokke.

Mzansi Afrika 🇿🇦 Groen 💚en goud 💛 for life

It felt as if I have just had the privilege to share a beer with you brilliant guys.❤

LOVE LOVE Danny in this Pod. I just love the holistic approach, but the essence of peace and kindness is just amazing. And in rugby that’s important…lets get aggressive in the game, but remember were respect is derived. (Ps: I’m not English).

Springbok here, I’m very nervous for this one. There is so much at play when you consider who will win. Springboks have the history, the All Blacks have the pedigree. I also think NZ are better rested and that could be telling come Saturday. My gut tells me NZ - but then again, Springboks have never lost a World Cup final and this group is looking to go back to back. We’ve had two tough weeks and you just wonder whether or not we still have enough bullets in the clip to go again. My view is, we need to freshen up the team and be bold in our selections. For example, Kitshoff off the bench, not because of the hype around Ox but he hasn’t looked himself in the last two games. Either way, this will be a massive game

Saffa here , we only have huge respect for the AB's. The historical win percentage they have over us proves their worth. That being said, anything can happen on the day. Best of luck to my Boks. Hope it's a great game from two amazing teams. Cheers 🍻

Justin still hammered 😂😂😂 kunch is still going in his mind..

Bundi Aki was awesome for ireland best inside centre in the world on current form .

I'm such a Die Hard Boks fan, but if we lose this final, I won't be disappointed. So much respect for the All Blacks and their fans.

As a South African living in California. I can't wait for the IRB rugby world cup in America.

It is going to be a Tough one!! But we have to give credit to the Boks defence . Think that will get them through

Yes fully agree with that statement ": They found a way to win." That's the sign of a great team, that flexibility to adjust to the game at hand. I have not seen the ABs exposed to that situation yet. So Go the Boks

As a bok supporter the dirst name that came to mind about coaches is warrwn gatland! What he did with wales was phenomenal and then leaves and comes back a few mobths before a world cup with a team lost amd still made them leave with their heads held high

ABs supporter here. 5mins in this podcast i just want touch base on everyone's opinions about SA's. Yes England should of won due to the stats however from my point of view i believe SA deserve that win to sheer grit and courage in themselves. statics present facts about outcome how well did the team preform during certain sets/phases but that's the critical side of it, we must take in the account of having faith within themselves. i see it as how we got demolished by you guys before the cup and losing to Ireland. so i believe having faith is that 1% when 99% was given to the opponents guarantee to win(evening though nothing in sports guaranteed) so at this coming week it will be a great game and i pray ABs come out on top but we never underestimate SA despite the stats and what not. may the best team win. so ill continue to watch the rest cheers. GO THE ABs!

Justin Marshall saying "kak" is everything to me...

“That’s a buffalo by the way”. Bwahahahah! Marshall you bloody legend. Too bloody funny.

Marshal looks freaking done bro 😂

Can't wait for tomorrow night. It will be monsterous, a gladiator style fight for glory on the pinnacle stage for every warrior trying to accomplish his dreams. What legends are Schalla and Marsh and to know that the comradery is healthy is such a awesome feeling. Congratulations on making the final to both teams, good luck and good health. May the best team win

Cant wait for the final. At least it will be a rugby game against ABS and not a kicking competition. 🇿🇦 we love rugby. Nothing brings our country to unity like our Springboks. The prayer power behind them is another factor ❤️🇿🇦🏆

Springboks fan. I love AB so much. I respect AB

From NZ..Good luck to both teams...I'm glad we both in the finals together .. , Go ABz ..

Well done schalk only guy who predicted Boks

The ABs always bring out 150% from us , and the we bring the same out of them. Huge respect and blood , sweat and tears. May the best team win. Go boks

I honestly can't call it, this is gonna be a banger!!!!

We'll do our talking on the field! Of all the teams in the Rugby World Cup, I wanted the Springboks to play either the All Blacks or Fiji in the Finals ... 2 teams I really respect! So, may the best team win on the day!

So fun and informative to be a part of you guys conversation.

As a Kiwi I'm so glad Marshall wasn't selected in the commentary team for NZ Sky. He's such a peacock "look at me look at me listen to me. I know this, I played with him. Me me me" oh zip it champ.

The entire world wrought off this ABs side. Except South Africans who always knew you don't underestimate the old foe. The whole world thought Ireland would definitely beat them.

Aged beautifully, dont ever write off a bok

Obviously the ABs are playing for Fozzy as well. In Steve Hanson's words, ts the great relationship that a coach must have with his players for them to be a winning team. So I think Fozzy is doing great !

Guys, you seem to have had less faith in NZ than we did in South Africa. The general consensus given the draw that this would always be the final. Remember that we won in 2019 coming off the back of a horrendous 2 years of rugby, we get each other and respect the climb to come back.

Rassie made being on the bench look cool!!

Mo'unga didn't get white-line fever. He knew Jordan was there and would have scored... and he knew that Jordan would have gone into the final with the record already in the bag. Far better to leave him looking for the try that takes him to the pinnacle in the final. Mo'unga knew exactly what he was doing.

The two most consistent teams in the world currently and historically. Both have lost games in the past few seasons but amazing consistency from them. I hope the game can deliver as when two powerhouses play it does not always turn out that way. Hope we see plenty of try's, lots of open running rugby and not to much kicking. I think the scrums and lineouts will be powerhouse plus on both sides. As a Kiwi of course I want the All Blacks to win but really just want to see a contest to remember. 🤞

Nothing better than having my morning coffee followed by poached eggs while watching endless chat about the upcoming cup final . Thanks guys

Every single pod this week we've seen the guys management serious hangovers🤣🤣🤣

Great show and great comments from all involved, bokke to hold on one more time after the battle to get to final...let's see but going to be a good final, so much to play for, I think motivation will not be lacking from both teams!... good luck AB's, let's get there bokke, we salute you 🇿🇦

Fun panel. Thanks fellas. Go boks.

KAK, loved that from Marshy 😂. Regarding coaches, what Rassie's done for the game is huge. Upcoming coach I rate is Oghara, interesting to see if he ends up coaching Ireland or another national side swoop him up before that. Must admit though, his such a patriot cant see him coaching anyone but Ireland.

The final Kiwis & South Africans really wanted & the one the game needs. Omg, an All Blacks/Springboks WC final, the two legitimate rugby superpowers of world rugby.

Very happy that the two best teams are in the final. Should the Springboks go on to win this final , (which I believe they will) I cannot think of a team that deserves it more, after the high level of competition that they have had to go through in this World Cup to get there.

19:07 😂 gotta love justin

It’ll be an epic match, it’s going to be bruising, but you have to think New Zealand. No matter what’s thrown at them, they just seem to find something else. South Africa are tough, hard and so are the All Blacks, I think it’s going to come down to the onfield brains trust. I think the All Blacks have an edge there.

I love seeing ex boks and abs players hanging out and all the others. Ill be wtching the game with my kiwi mates, im a kiwi and a few bok supporters also its great

I start to pay really attention to rugby now, and what a beautiful sport it is! I mean, I´ve watch before, but now I´m paying really attention. Still have some difficult to full understand the rules, some expressions used, etc, but, common... what a sport! Go Portugal!! eheheheheh Good luck to New Zealand and South Africa next Saturday!!

Brothers look CLEARLY hungover

Wishing both teams all the best in the finals

Great show, good insight with honest and respectful opinions. Thank you

That's what's making us so good we never give up till the final whistle 🇿🇦🏆

I wouldn’t worry about the weather. The ABs have had some of the best results in the wet

Guys if the English were so good and had the game in the bag WHY DID THEY NOT have the scoreboard LIT!!BOKKE all way !!

As an ABs fan, the SA v ENG game was much more edge of your seat stuff. SA undid what England did to the ABs in the last RWC, where the ABs were smothered.. Well done to SA for getting up to another hard game.

Justin still making some sense despite still being mangled.

As this world cup has gone on The ABz have grown into this competition, and look where they are now on the brink of making history. Kia Kaha Kia Maia Kia Manawanui.

Marshy still seems half pissed lol

We won the All Blacks 5weeks ago... just before the World Cup. But the Springboks are the underdogs... Amazing how that works

Haven't seen Justin looking so seedy, that's an All Black running on empty lol. Nobody can call this, what it will come down to is preparation and the will to win.

As a Bok supporter,I like it when we go in as underdogs. Thats when the Wounded Bok becomes fearsome. Watch out for a wounded Bok Go Bokke. Good luck New Zealand ,i would rather loose to you Guys than any other team

The two best teams in the world. This game is going to be next level. Rematch of 95.

All Blacks have a strong attitude and will be determined to win! SA must keep the ball and not keep kicking away!

Schalk Brits is a true South African.

I loved that -Justin Marshall helping Schalla out with a South Africanism when Schalla was trying to find a word for a team’s poor performance … “kak!” the New Zealander proffered - lovely stuff 😂😂😂

As an ABs supporter, it was cool to hear Dan the Americans' views. They are outsiders and see things in a new way. Americans will take it to new heights. follow

Marshall looks like he’s had a huge, socially lubricated RWC.

I love Rassie. I'm from the rest of the world 🌎

It will be a Mighty showdown between these two countries for sure. Cant wait for gameday. All the best 💯

JUSTIN MARSHALL REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS 21 🤣😂🤣. LONG NIGHTS OF NON-STOP DRINKING 🍺

This set is very well lit, congratulations to the DOP

Justin talks so much and he looks pretty hammered

Marshall is amazing in this episode

Fokken amazing chat julle almal! Gaan n epic game wees! 7-1 split hier kom ons 😬

Anybodies game either side could put a 20 point win on each other and any result along that spectrum.

Rassie for #1 - I agree. We all love and support our coach, but Rassie is not just innovator, but adapts, collaborates, allows personal skills... I see that on the pitch. I don't even play under him! (would have loved to!)

Marshy has a lil Bokke accent goin on here. A combination of hanging with the Bok legends and a hangover 😂😂

What I believe why Rassie and Nienaber are best is that they are winners too over and above all else mentioned...

26:59 I spat my coffee out! 😄

Just loved this, how come I only found this channel now, towards the end of the of the wc?!

59 million v 5million goe the mighty ABs

This is gonna be a final for the record books, as Saffa I could not want a better final, the biggest rivalry in rugby on the biggest international stage, its been a long time coming which ever teams win they both are deserving of the title, both teams weren't put in the next to win it, both teams were seen as underdogs, but you can never count out these 2 great teams, all the best to both teams, hoping we come out tops.

ABs go in as underdogs in these finals. The Boks beat us at Twickenham, heading into the start of the RWC. Win or lose, i will still be really proud of our ABs, supporting you all the way. Go the mighty ABs 👊👊❤❤

Boks have been the ONLY team who consistently over the years have given the ABs a run for their money.

I feel the Springbok and All Blacks have always set the bench mark in Rugby since forever here's to a mammoth game between the titans !!!

Bok fan here. I do feel ABs are favourites given their form has been on up while SA plateaued. But of course I hope the Boks can swing it. Best of luck to all. Love the ABs also.
