Just like 1995 brought everyone together

I remember it well too. How well we performed in the semi final against NZ just to be blown away by this monster SA scrum and incredible line speed in defence! You were class that day. The forwards were just too hard to handle and tries just put the nails in the coffin.

@@joshrees1985 and 2007!!! I remember in the 2007 final me and my mates shouting Shosholoza over the balcony, and hearing a few houses screaming back Ku lezontaba!!! And it went back and forth. We didnt know the lyrics but knew the tune and it worked out deliciously. Haha.

I watched it live and the atmosphere was incredible. I did have to sell a kidney tho😂😂. The admin finally accepted defeat and posted it

Make Africa Great Again

like what happened from 1971 to 1988 when the South army on the South West African border with Angola defeated the Cubans, even with the help of the Russians,,

Even as an American who has an understanding of what it means in American football, a goalline stand is a goalline stand.

totally!!

I watched that at the time thinking we were going to lose if they scored it was unbelievably nerve racking

i mean the whole game was heroic

@@fighterck6241 Go bokke

Meeeee

They played at their best and we played at our worst but we still won 😂😂😂

9 times

You had a referee on your side that’s the only reason why you beat us if it’s a fair referee we win every day of the week watch it properly and you see the amount of thing the ref didn’t see and if you don’t look at it with a biast opion you will see your wrong

I did, like three times already😊

Yep.

Indeed. I remember how nervous I was about that heading into the game. If I recall corectly Jerome Garcias had the whistle in the Boks vs NZ pool game and had a howler at scrum time in that outing.

@@Izingwe ya exactly. great to see a final where the better team wins and there is no uncertainty because of bad calls.

Such a well managed game!!!

Well you should atleast watch the first 16 minutes because it took that long for the ref to finally penalize the English for collapsing the scrum after doing so atleast 4 or 5 times with the ref watching. But after that he was better, but no way perfect. Being a nzer I watch for the cheating

Not really, some very critical calls weren't made, I think both teams just weren't complaining and just wanted to play

80 minutes?

Hours?

@@carlosdossantos3022 A rugby game is 80 minutes.

@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns but the game is on Saturday

🥹 we did it

Only about 3 and a half years later!!! 😂😂😂

I wassss shocked 😂😂...

​@Thulasizwe Nkosi They release full historical games. 3 and half years ago, it wasn't really history as it just happened. Now this is long and distant history

@@Baz502 but they managed to release a full game where England beat New Zealand in the semis.

@@bolomani Fair point, World Rugby is very much English, it took them some balls to release this. I never thought they would

That was Cheslin Kolbe he's wasn't the captian the Captian was the guy who came running up to him but it's a moment I watch atleast 3 times when I see it

Amazing my brother, just amazing

@user-gu4tv4hp6s lol, rugby fans literally do not give a toss about football but thank you for your useless input, it was much appreciated ...... said no rugby fan ever 🤣

but our nation is now doomed under the anc GUTTERMENT

kind of similar for England, knocked out in the group 4 years prior so to make the final was some turnaround!

Remember in 1995 we were ranked 10 going into the World Cup...

No witty comments or outrage at refs or IRB? What is happening to KZfaq comments these days?

Give it time, England is still asleep right now 😅

I’m not a South African supporter but you can not accuse me of being a neutral in this game. Love seeing the arrogant English lose again and again and again lol!

@@Baz502 I am English and I am not proud of the colonialism legacy nor the theft of Africa's riches to prop up an undeserving and underserving unelected monarchy.

How did you get that last emoji?

The green wall

I still argue that this is where the Boks won the WC!

27 phases actually.

Totally what broke England’s resolve. The turning point of the match, without any shadow of a doubt

Best defence ever👏👏👏👏

Beautiful words .

Spot on you were! 🇿🇦

We love the underdog tag...and we have it agian in 2023...nobody is giving us a chance

You called it…back-to-back world Champs 👏🏾 🎊 🎉

They'll win it again, just a matter of time. With the quality they keep producing regardless, the 4th one will come, just a matter of when

Def not the last

Me too sir, me too!

Yh there really is not much else in this country ey

Surprised your electricity meter allows it!

Best ever...pure class

Beautiful 🥰

Exactly haha, why didn't they re-release the 2019 semi v NZ 😅

That was the most nerve wrecking 🥺 and beautiful 🥰 thing I've ever seen in rugby, i still have goosebumps talking and thinking about it.

Does the American football have a world cup competition 🤔

Agreed

Sinkler was definitely a big loss. As a Bok supporter I was sad to see him go so early, if we're going to win big it should be against the best opposition. However England had a phenomenal game against NZ and can rightly be remembered as top tier in that year. The final must have been absolutely brutal viewing. Or, as Bok supporters will confirm, a giddy sporting high. Now I'm I'm so intrigued to see what Eddie does with Aus

Will definitely be interesting. When Eddie is head coach he seems to have a big initial impact and improvement in performance which then drops back over time. So the timing is good for this world cup for Australia and him.

@@makeperceive It was brutal. The highest of highs to the lowest of lows

I have never seen a NZ team get dominated like they did in that game. The score made it look closer than it was on the pitch.

De Jager and Mbonambi also went out in the first half

It was their's, now it's in France awaiting a new champion

Just go back to your ancestral home it's simple! The passage of time means nothing you don't belong there

😂😂😂😂

Do you think England can win the competition?

​@@SnowdenAlishiAt some point they will win the world cup again but currently I don't think they are good enough to win it but you never know .

Not sure why, NZ were dreadful in that semi, has to be said

Didn't see those stats, but then you Saffers are known to make stuff up to rally your cause.

​@@Canvashed We are the most successful team in world cup history and still we are written off as we were in 95, 07 and 2019 and now again in 2023.

@@jadenphilander8799see your doing it now. Playing the victim, England were written off in 07 they're form going into the RWC was awful.

@@Canvashed You were written off because you weren't good enough. Springboks battered you 37-0 in the pool stage...No way we're going to beat them in the final. Springboks were written off and Still won the world cup 3 times...

I especially remember this semi-final in 1995 stolen from the French!! thanks to the referee. the world cup in 95. they gave it to you!! . it was political for the end of apartheid
