“I know his coaching record,” hahah! 😁

Fair play to Rassie , he knows well that no Irish people have said this nonsense, Matt Williams is an Aussie ex Scotland coach, with a poor record, who Virgin Media use as a Pundit because he so controversial, which gets jaws wagging and fingers tapping. He does not speak for Ireland.

Matt died a little inside when Rassie said the words. "Coaching record?

Matt Williams is the biggest cry baby in the rugby world.

Matt Williams should take a teaspoon of cement with his coffee in the morning, instead of a teaspoon of Staysoft!

if williams was a more creative coach he'd still be coaching...

All I know about Matt Williams is that he was born when he was very young.

Who is Matt Williams? I believe he was just a mediocre coach with even more mediocre results!

Matt Williams is an Australian rugby union coach who is best known for whining about Springbok rugby and Rassie Erasmus. He also played a little rugby, having led the Scotland men's national rugby union team between 2003 and 2005. - Wikipedia

So a double world cup winning coach vs a coach with a poor record at every team. 😂

Don't mind Williams, he's discount John Kirwan. Gets the views going though.

It's click bait. Williams is not a good enough coach to have an opinion.

why do we even care what he thinks, 😂

Rassie is our People ...Springboks ...are our people ...South Africa is our land ....God Bless our People and keep leading Rassie to being the best 👌 he can be ...We our people are blessed to have Rassie a true Winnner 👍 Beatrix Strydom

The follow-up question should've been, "What do you know about his coaching record?"

Coaches reacting to individual commentators is like a reality TV show!

Anyone who knows Williams’s coaching record with Scotland knows he is a complete spoofer.

We live in a free society where you can say what you want. Some people, like Matt Williams, just don't deserve a platform.

I know his coaching record! lol

When you back to back champs you get to do WTF you want

Oh Rassie, his coaching record😅

Rassie dropping I know his coaching record haha, this man knows how to take shots with out looking like he's taking a shot. Love it.

Matt Williams is a joker

this is a personal dispute between Matt Williams and an entire nation

Matt Williams and John Kirwan are cut from the same cloth. Quite incredible they coached 3 test teams between them when they were coaching on little more than "vibes". If they were at all capable at all they would still be holding down coaching gigs rather than being talking heads offering up little more than tired platitudes

I dont get the comment. if anything it would be less dangerous,

I know his coaching record 😂 enough said, MW best keep it tidy mate 😊

Lol hahahahaha "i know his coaching records"😮😂😂😂😂😂

If everyone played the same style of rugby, it would be boring. You have to look at the type of players you have in your system and form a game plan according to your strengths if you want to win and be successful. Guys who want to change the rules to benefit or help themselves are the ones who will ruin the game. Rassie studies the laws and rules of the game and stays within them. You can change the rules, take away the scrum or the 6-2 split. Rassie is a person who thinks outside the box. He will probably dominate the next thing, and then you’ll cry and stop lineouts, or say wingers with scrum caps cannot sidestep. You know, Mr. Matt Williams, the worst thing you can do as a coach or "expert" is to make excuses about why you can’t compete against someone. You are supposed to try and beat the other team with your own game plan and abilities. It will never be an even playing field because some teams have more players with gifted talents, but that doesn’t mean you can’t beat them in other parts of the game. And one last thing: Rassie has earned the respect of his players, up-and-coming players, and the country’s supporters. Again, he's ticking off all the boxes that he needs to-pleasing you is not one of them

Come on Matt Willaims, you're an embarrassment. The Boks are playing some great footy and their strengths are the bomb squad - and now some big running too! as a kiwi that's scary !

love all the bull from Kirwan, williams, Eben and Matfield. It really adds to the occasion.

Love rassie

I payed Data to say ..that Williams Silver " kapokie" is a DO#S.

Williams raises the viewer stats. Not only the contempt.

Why does Irish TV have Matt Williams on he is so boring I switch channels when he's on

Matt who???

Calling a Collision Sport Unsafe is Non Sensical .Common Sense will prevail.

Really enjoy Rassie not making changes,most test caps in one team ever,really something to be proud off.Hes player's will run through walls for a reason.

Rassie you don't even need to explain, Results check in good still No.1 ranking people should be happy kphela

Matt Williams, an empty vessel, makes the most noise ( Doos)

I wish Rassie was as assured when he was with Munster

There is a Name for people like Matt...He will fit well in Sponge Bob's (Square Pants) ⬛️ A Man of his capabilities and technical experience should know better! And if World Rugby 🏉 change the Rules because of his lack of understanding, then I don't see Europian Rugby Structure Developes to World Cup Rugby Formula in the near Future does not matter what they do ...if you cannot think on your feet! The Result! Settle Defeat.

“I know his coaching record” 😂 killer comment 18% win rate, 🤡 Williams just got smacked

Matt Williams won 3 out of 17 tests as Scotland coach, only managing to beat weak teams, Italy, Samoa and Japan. His opinion does not matter to us.

Don't even spend 1 second on Williams...is he even watching rugby union? All his comments are galactically incoherent 😵‍💫

What language is he speaking, or is his Dutchman accent very rough?

I’m an Aussie and none of us have the right to comment on rugby at this point in time. Matt Williams has lived outside of Australia for too long hence why he thinks he can get away with talking absolute garbage.

We are waiting for Ben Smith

Someone is jealous!😂

The SA tactic that dumbs down rugby to a simple muscle test but do not criticise it or be prepared to be insulted if you do.

How many saffa's agree... If Rassie was candidate no 1 a couple months back, he WOULD be president now

i dont give a shit about matt whatever. Rassie youre a genius.

Matt Williams was a shocking coach with Scotland and it seems he's continued his career for the past few years in a similarly incompetent and shocking pundit. It's the poor Irish fans who need to tolerate him on TV and luckily not us.

Who on earth is Matt Welsh

Matt Williams should start watching ballet

Williams is one big bluffer who gets way too much media time in Ireland .He now uses the word we when talking about the Irish team,this from a guy who is Australian. His whole time is devoted to running down South African rugby.

Matt Williams ...the man in the party you dont want to be stuck with ....a bluffer .

Injuries and fatigue are correlated. When the body is in a state of neuromuscular fatigue, it will significantly increase the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Fatigue and errors are also correlated, this can be sloppy tackling, unsteady scrum, which can all lead to injury etc Thus the argument that its dangerous is untrue.

Is Matt Williams even relevant?! Why are we listening to him?

Matt is a Brat... 😅

Rassi. Shouldn't be responding to him williams is a bit touched in tha head

Matt William does not represent the thoughts of Ithe Irish rugby public in any way. He's an Australian pundit who makes a living in Ireland from been controversial

Mat should apply himself to league if he doesn’t enjoy rugby

Both spew utter shite at a world class level. It's sad though -- Rassie on;y started to do it when he left Munster moved home and had to make his thick countrymen happy since they don't understand that their team can't win without the direct help from the refs. Rasie was smart enough to know he couldn't pull that shite in Ireland where the supporters know & care about the sport.

Has Matt Williams ever played or coached a team that has had any real success? What is your qualifications in the sport that makes you think you can criticise a person who came third in a WC as a player and won it twice as a coach?

matt who

No worries, the better the springboks do, the less significant he becomes, until, of course it’s an even tiny er voice, he’s better at whining than winning. A talker, not a doer.

Ireland used a 6:2 bench to win France in the Six Nations Why did he not complain about them? Stop harassing the Boks Austrailian

Sour Grapes Rassie Hy is net n Naar Gat!Go Bokke Wys hulle julle staal!

Matt Williams been crying about SA for a long time! He is a baby, always will be! Hey Matt. We have 4 World Cups baby! And Rassie has 2 of those. How many do you have?

Polite way to say, “who da fuq is that Matt Williams? I don’t know that dude he’s unimportant.”

Matt Williams is a confused Australian who wants to be Irish because his team are ranked 8th.

Matt…who?

That’s not what Matt Williams said. He wasn’t speaking about South Africa. Stop trying to cause trouble by being disingenuous…

Matt Williams is not a great pundit. He seems to say things more for media snippets and clicks than to provide any kind of real insight.

Matt Williams smokes his own pipe so why listen a bloke he is probably in the lavatory right now!

Rassie, jy praat suiwer Engels. Praat suiwer Afrikaans ook asb.

Why give Matt Williams name airtime. Hes a complete clown and doenst represent anything Irish 🇮🇪 fair play Rassie for squashing it and knowing it didnt come from the Irish.

Matt doesn't speak for the Irish..

Kak snaaks😂

Who is matt Williams? sounds like a generic name player on a tv game 😮

Russia is the better man and coach why Matt don't come and say this to Russia and the bomb squad if he got some balls gud luck Ireland for Durban but go springboks hope u can win here two.

Matt Williams.....pathetic coach and mediocre sports journalist! When people get old they want to criticize from the outside....because they were incapable of doing anything better when they had the opportunity! That spells out Matt's career and life!

Can Matt Williams have a point of view? Jesus, he's a pundit and has his own views. I don't agree with a lot of them, but he's a good laugh to have on.. It's like nobody now can say anything anymore without being ridiculed on line behind a screen.. fair play Matt, keep it up 😊 some nasty trolls out there.

MW se ma se poes

The only way to settle this is to have a total size and weight limit for a team. Otherwise, there are players like Kolbe that are on the field with players like Eben.

Love Matt Williams as a pundit

SA are the dirtiest team in world rugby and have always cheated in order to win - Lets hope in November World Rugby clamp down on how they have cheapened the laws and spirit of rugby with bringing on six replacement forwards for the second half -

SA forwards are too soft to play 80 min

Fattie Erasmus

Matt Williams is very well respected in Irish rugby circles and tells it how it is. Unfortunately no criticism whatsoever of the Springboks is accepted, even if the use of TMO in the last test was tantamount to match fixing

Bomb squad came on and Ireland scored 4 tries Bomb squad my arse, and in the World Cup we beat your 7/1 bomb squad Ireland laugh in the face of the bomb squad 😂😂😂😂
