Irish fan here. For the absolutely cynical dive of Kolbe at the feet of Bealham... to try and fabricate a penalty, as Frawley drop-kicked his 2nd goal...for THAT act...S.A. did NOT deserve to win this game. Cynicism should never win anything. Everyone saw it, and Kolbe has dropped in many an estimation. To make it worse, some of his team mates backed him up. Superb Ireland and superb Ciaran Frawley

Bok supporter here. We'll done Ireland.good win for you.❤😅🎉😢

Kolbe tarnished his reputation with that dive at the end. The TMO was not good for us over the two tests, but even he dismissed Kolbe's cheating when it was reviewed. Kolbe should have received a yellow card for that as it is not good for the game.

blood and guts. What a game. Honestly, there is almost nothing between these 2 teams. The level at which they play puts the other under enormous pressure to get things right. There are not many critical errors from either team. So it comes down to who can execute best. Today it was Ireland. Last week it was the Boks. Its a joy to watch such high level rugby.

I have a handful of reviewers and analysts that I keep going back to. They all have one thing in common. They don't comment on the ref. I think last week I was feeling a bit hard done by because of some of the decisions that went against Ireland in the first test that you didn't mention but I understand your point more now and can see that it is a consistent principle that you abide by. Happy we got the win against what is definitely the best team in the world. Keep up the good work and I shall check out your videos in future.

Thank you for putting the record straight, Ireland are a great team and team who play a lot of their game using the top 2 inches of their heads , smart rugby as well tough contact is a real way to play competitive rugby, its also fun to watch.

Irish man here, what a game, so tough and physical we got treated to a game to remember

Ireland very intelligent team,seem to problem solve on the fly,never expected those two drop goals.

It was an amazing game. The Boks deserved the win last week and Ireland deserved it this week. Two incredible teams. It was bloody ! It was probably like watching a gladiators battle in the Roman Colosseum ! Such a pity that there isn't a 3rd test. Congratulations to both teams for the world class entertainment.

Thanks to Ireland 🇮🇪 for a cracking finish and thanks to South Africa 🇿🇦 for hosting us. That kolbe dive though... no no no. Please dont do that kolbe. Finley bealham was looking at him on the ground dumbfounded like "wtf are you playing at?" Then the appeal afterwards by the bok players, it STANK of football. Do not do this. Just no. This is rugby 🏉

I appreciate what you mention about refs. It is obvious that Southern Hemisphere refs manage the game differently than Northern Hemisphere refs. As an English supporter, I always like to see a French or Irish ref when England are playing.

It was a good win for Ireland, the Bomb squad is only useful in a scrum, if there was no scrum they are just a big bunch of lesser mobile players in the middle of the pitch. Ireland is a skilful team full of Hurlers and Gaelic footballers and that was the difference today.

The ref tried everything to help the boks win but just couldn’t do enough for them to get over the line plus this week James Lowe didn’t gift South Africa two tries like last week

Ironic the nation of Jannie de Beer and Naas Botha beaten by drop goals . Rassie covered most things except the DROP GOAL . Well done Ireland Naas and Jannie might be having a sly little smile but annoyed by the defeat .

Very good Work Mate from an lrish Fan👍i Just Subcribed.

Great rugby is what we want...and games with one score in it that go down to the wire. We got that this weekend from all.participants. there never seems to be more than a score between these two teams, well done to both sets of players. Look forward to the next one

Pearce and Dickson had shockers. They were clearly against Ireland in both tests.

How good would a 3rd game have been? With all the hype with the media and fans egging each other on. It would have been an absolutely obscene - even people who don't follow rugby would tune in.

This was a great Test Match. Borh teams went all. Willie and Sous going off early was the difference to me.

Great win for Ireland against the best team in tje world

Bloodiest game ever? i agree

A victory in a two match away series counts as a series win in my book. If the Boks achieve the same in Ireland i would say the same for them.

We have been given a Huge Beating up front our Forwards a Bloody Mess!!!...Springboks DIDN'T Play WELL they out muscle us!!!

They wgere booing ireland after the wiin wgat sour grapes

Brilliant article by Ben Smith on Rugby Pass titled ' The Bark Doesn't Match The Bite' essential reading for all boks fans!

Physicality and forward play makes rugby dull. The Boks have a brilliant and entertaining backline with the likes of Willemse, KLA, Kolbe, Am, le Roux... yet Rassie et al give focus so much on bullying smaller-sized teams. He may as well call up some WWE regulars to his roster. Speaking of referees, there's no doubt Wayne Barnes, Craig Joubert, and Nick Berry lead the pack of the most disgraceful whistle blowers out there. The first two have single-handedly determined the outcomes of some crucial matches at the RWC, yet, World Rugby retained them. End of rant.

Hi there, not sure how U can say we didn't play tht badly we were terrible in the 1st-Half the 2nd-Half was better but U cnt put Urself in a Position where U hve to Play Catch-Up Rugby against a Team like Ireland.... Also, feel we need to start-off being more direct for a few Phases basically Punching holes in the Middle of the Park to draw Irish Defence & then take-it Wide but like U said Ireland fronted-up well & We didn' hve the Physical-Ascendancy We needed to break-dwn Irish-Defence.... Yip, as U said there were also key-moments where we were not quite Clinical enough in terms handling the ball as in there were numerous occasions we needed the ball to stick in the hand off a promising linking-up pass tht cld lead-to sumthing but unfortunately thse passes always seemed rush making-it difficult for receiver to hold-on!!!!

Well done for keeping the reff out of your commentary

That was poor defending from Boks allowing that drop goal at end. Nobody was defending them!!! Shocking Boks

I want an 3rd test next week😢

It’s a game he dived lot of players do / Irish fan

Coin toss

What the Fuck where was the Bombs today,the 1 that demolished the Irishman and scores a try at the end of the game!!!!Last week?????

Genuine question…what do you think the bloodiest Test games in rugby might actually be? Any older heads got suggestions? I’m thinking some of the French games around 1990 maybe? Eng vs France? South Africa vs Lions / England maybe? Or some nutty Georgia vs Romania / Argentina vs Uruguay type games perhaps?! 😂

The ☘️ team maybe not be best in the world 🌎 but they are demonstrably better than SA = 4/5. ☺️ WC champs v worlds best - great for 🌎 Rugby.

I think it is proper and sporting not to talk about the referee ... even a complete %$£!"& like Wayne Barnes.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJ6ci8V51Nfed2Q.htmlsi=kKriiJTKV4GJSvvl this dirty play is despicable. He should get a 1 year ban for this

lol

World champions,hahaha

To those who think Ireland won the series I have to say does point difference mean nothing? 😂 You had a coach in the press conference saying who ever wins with more points wins the series which is South Africa... 2ndly Ireland were shifting their pants thinking they about to lose the 2nd test if it wasn't for an amazing drop goal in the last second😂 consider yourselves lucky you didn't lose again... Worst game the springboks have played for a while and they still almost won that game 😂

Irish fan here, for me, SA won the series 51 to 45

It's a draw so ireland still nothing to show...😂😂😂
