The Boks fan base have stood by the ABs and Fozzie during their dark days and still today we say " We admire and respect you guys and always will. 💚💛🇿🇦

I'm South African and Boks supporter, but fellows you have just earned my respect. Well balanced and objective content. If it was not SA winning, I would have wanted the AB to win it. I take my hat off for Fozzie and Sam, never looked for excuses instead owned up. SA has lots of respect for the AB.

Respect to all Kiwi's who have been nothing but classy and gracious in losing a contentious final. Heartbreaking for Cane and the whole country. It means the world to South Africans, and the rest of Africa as well - I'm a zimbabwean who grew up speaking afrikaans, supporting the boks. One thing I notice is the respect between the ABs and the boks. Two giants pushing each other to new heights. Other tests normally bring a bit of scraps here and there, but very rarely in a green vs black match. I expect NZ will be there or thereabouts in 4 years - see you then friends

As a South African I would like to congratulate you on a really well balanced, thoughtful and entertaining show. We have huge respect for the ABs and this final re-enforced that, it was an incredibly courageous performance from a team, that even down to 14 men for most of the game, took it to the wire, and with a bit of luck could actually have won it. I was watching in a packed out pub, and the consensus from everyone was how magnificently the AB's fought for that trophy. Springboks vs ABs is one of the most intense rivalries in all of sport, and long may it continue.

As a South African, I am extremely happy we have won the world cup back-to-back, but I am also extremely sad and heart-broken. This is truly an end of an era for our current squad. From Siya being our first black captain, who reminds me of Mandela, to Faf with his long blonde hair and jack-russell-terrier-like tenacity; this team just oozies character and diversity like no other. The heart wrenching journey they have been through; fending off France, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against England, holding-off the All Blacks with shear grit; it’s like their legacy was written in the stars... Even though, their performance had been questionable, fate wouldn't allow them to lose... Life in South Arica is really tough, back in 2019 the Springboks won us over by giving us hope, but now they've just plainly made us fall in love with them. Many of them are already in their 30s and will probably not be in the next world cup squad; Jacques Nienaber is moving on, so is Felix Jones; I'm sure other staff will follow cos they've all become high commodity now, which SA's economy can't afford to compete and keep... This bio-epic has come full-circle, it is at its end and that breaks my heart... What a team, what a story!

South Africa won us fair and square... they didn't force the world rugby officials... congrats to them

We as Saffers would have been even more gutted to lose to 14 men, and we nearly did. I said to my mates when SC was red carded that the ABs are one of the only, if not The Only team that can beat us with 14 men if we don't pick up our game. Luckily we got through it. Some of us think winning the WC makes us the best team in the world. I think it only puts us in the same bracket as the ABs. Well done to both teams for a epic, heart stopping final. The rivalry and respect continues...

As a Springbok fan, Ardie Savea is an incredible player. Well deserved!

HUGE respect from South Africa, the AB's were honestly incredible. I couldn't imagine going up against a better team in the finals. We know you guys will repay the favour one day lol. Game really could have gone either way and we got lucky. Much love from SA!

This is why, as a South African, I enjoy New Zealand rugby too. These gentlemen were incredibly unbiased and gracious in their analysis of the game. I have nothing but respect for them.

Take away the officiating and focus on ourselves. There was no need for Frizell to be in that position he was with Mbonami, he neck rolled, collapsed on his leg, got it technically wrong and he rightfully deserved to be yellow carded. Momentum lost and already on the back foot from that point. Sam Cane's yellow then red card is debateable but still it was a lapse in judgement and lack of discipline, Cane should have lowered his tackling height, every player knows this. Our errors were terribly costly our skills deserted us and ill discipline were our biggest weaknesses. Also Mo'unga missing a conversion and Jordie missing a penalty will forever haunt those two men, that's what they call 'leaving points out on the field'. As an All Blacks fan it hurts to lose but for those issuing death threats to officials is disgusting behaviour and not a reflection of true supporters. I'm glad the Foster era is done, that was a draining era to be part of and I'm looking forward to Razor bringing back the edge we've missed. I'm sorry Sam Cane but Scott Barrett or Ardie Savea should be our new captain we need to reset, start afresh and regain that killer instinct. Lastly congratulations South Africa there's no shame in losing to a great side.

As a South African I would like to congratulate the NZ team on their performance - The game was theirs to win with the opportunities ( conversion/Penalty/Putting together phases that could have realised penalties for post ) if ever there was a team that I would have liked to win it would be the AB`s - Excellent show and very honest and Humble .....

I really respect your response to what must be a painful loss. I feel that your concerns about refereeing are genuine to improve our game and not just sour grapes. Respect and Live from 🇿🇦

This is by far the best rugby show out there! always enjoy each episode, no drama or antics, simply just a good analysis of the games. Big fan from SA💪

Thanks guys, by far the best analysis I have seen. Just one thing: There is a massive misconception around Barnes and Savea's penalty. He did NOT say "I saw the replay and realised I made a mistake". Exactly the opposite happened: His exact words were: "I DID NOT see the replay", meaning he was not looking at the screen when the replay was on. Then he said: "I did not see you release enough", meaning that he interpreted the play as a penalty against Savea for not allowing the tackler to place the ball. Point being, it is not that he did not realise a mistake was made and refused to reverse it. He interpreted it his way and did not see the replay so he could not change his mind.

From a Saffer who LOVES the All Blacks, it was incredible to see your 14 men almost beat my beloved Bokke. It was there for the taking, but 2 missed kicks and kickable points gone to touch instead...Cane's 🟥 was heartbreaking, I groaned immediately, it's not what you want to see in a final, but it absolutely was a 🟥 offense. Gutted for you guys, not how I wanted our showdown to go-down.

Boys well done...All class well done. Just watched the press conference after the Boks landed back home and Siya defended Jordi B for a misunderstanding the media have taken out of context and asked the media to leave him alone. What a leader!

I’ve seen this incorrectly discussed across many platforms - Wayne Barnes did not apologize for the wrong call he apologized for not watching the replay on the big screen. And then reiterated standing by his decision that he saw in the moment. That’s very different from admitting he got it wrong.

what the AB's achieved was absolutely remarkable, what warriors they are. From a Bok fan

The way the AB's played with 14 was incredible! It did not even look like they were a man down for most of the game. It made this Springbok supporter very nervous all the way through.

Full kudos to All Blacks for pushing my team to the absolute limit, INSPITE of playing with 14 guys!!! When it happened, I really thought that red card was going to ruin the game, but you guys just kept the pressure on. I hate red cards. Whether for us OR against. Much respect New Zealand. I scrummed, rucked and tackled that whole game.......the sofa ended up in the passage, the carpet was knotted under the coffee table....MAN I played the full 80 min without being subbed! It was exhausting just to watch. GO BOKKE

I would like to hear your analysis on when Mark gets tackled and drops the ball forward to Barrett to get the try. Also when we weren't allowed advantage for a knock on and nearly scored, we were on front foot. You should do a full analysis. Not just what went wrong for the ABs

An excellent show thanks Gents - it's been brilliant having your input through the RWC. The AB's continue to have our respect without doubt and Ardie deserved the accolade. I'm all rugby'ied out but it's been a great RWC journey with you guys, Thanks!

Kicker wins games. Both Mounga and Jordie will be feeling their missed attempts hard, especially Mounga, who played his last AB game. That was their clutch moment, one that you train and dream about all your playing life as a kicker.

I have a huge respect for ABs. We love you guys. You will forever be our second best team. Love from South Africa.

Watching this as a Saffa. The respect and rivalry we have really is a rare and incredible thing and i couldn’t think of a better final regardless of the result!

Thanks for a great show gents. Maybe a talking point for next week: As you know by now, Rassie started planning for RWC 2023 in 2018. What we also now know is that Rassie will take over the coaching job from Nienaber. What you don't know is that Rassie started planning for RWC 2027 in 2020. Yes, the Boks are going for 1st to 5 and 3 in a row. Also, the ABs have shown enormous grit in that final and although they did not get it across the line, they earned respect from so many South Africans as one of our greatest ever opponents. Congratulations to Ardie for his much deserved recognition.

Nienaber managed to take a team, with only 1 player in the team of the year, and win a WC back to back with the hardest route ever. Well done Andy Farrel. Got so close to a semi

James is what we call a Sangoma in South Africa, the G gets them all right he said it. He said we are taking it and we took it. I must be honest lads this show has been great continuity is needed. FYI I am going to be late for work again because of you lads

The obvious answer to the Savea call not getting corrected falls on DeGroot. A SA prop would have laid on the ground waiting for screen time.

Yeah must say, overwhelmingly from SA, when all the fans from the other teams up north were counting the ABs out, we from SA were still respecting the ABs and the vast majority believed the ABs will be in the final. Great respect for the ABs from us

Probably the best rugby pod out there much love from South Africa! Thank you AB's you for the great game

I don't think anybody I have listened to, understood what the impact of losing Bongi to foul play had on the Springboks. It took away their scrum dominance as well as lineout attack play and a lot of our attacking prowess. You also have to factor in the absence of Malcolm Marx, Lood de Jager, Lukhanyo Amm and Pollard (in the Ireland game)

Classy commentary. Well done. Perfect example of been able to talk/debate topics with respect. We all agree officiating a problem, you guys addressed it so well and respect to both teams

I'm a Springboks supporter and this program here shows why the Boks and New Zealand are so far ahead of the rest when it comes to our beautiful game. We play hard, we play fair, we don't quit, we don't complain too much, we make it HURT and afterwards we go for a beer. Massive respect to the ABs for really bringing it during the final and I'm of course so proud of our boys for getting another World Cup! I simply loved how Siya Kolisi spoke about Ardie Savea getting the Player of the Year award and how proud he was of Ardie! And how both of them affirmed what great friends they are until they step onto the field, where they both have to bring it 100% OUT OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER! It's like bringing anything less would be disrespectful to your opponent. I love that!

Well done lads. You make me Kiwi proud with how you handle the content even handed, objective, non imposing. Although we need the roll your eyes gusto and bravado of Mils, JK and Goldie for public spirit too. Still the show essentially is unassuming, astute, sensible and laidback. A true refection of our culture and peoples. GIVE 'EM A TASTE Of KIWI

I’ve seen a lot of sentiment around NZ’ers feeling that they should have won the game. I think there’s a difference between having chances that meant you could have won looking back, and that you should have won. With the final I think it’s the former not the latter. More factors were in favour of NZ going into the game such as an extra day’s rest, SA having back to back tough games in qf and sf. The biggest one was Bongi then going down in the second minute which completely affected how SA was going to use their their second pack. I’m not sure people realise how big a speed bump that actually was and how SA had to go into game management mode basically from the start. For all that, NZ never once led in the game. Credit to them for the effort they put in the periods where it was 14 vs 15, but I think if there were no cards and Bongi didn’t go off, SA would have been able to maximise their bench and would have won more comfortably.

One just has to say this. All refs make mistakes. At this level the ref would never favour a team. The laws of the game just need to be simplified and streamlined. Appreciate the unbiased approach of the panel

Your show rocks gentlemen! It makes the Breakdown look like it’s having breakdown. As rugby lovers we all enjoy and appreciate different aspects of this complex yet beautiful game. Whilst I do enjoy the NZ style of play and some of the breathtaking skills they excute, I also really enjoy the hard physical side of scrums, rucks and mauls that the Boks are so good at. Finding a balance where the fans of different countries can enjoy both is the holy grail. What’s important is to not alienate a certain style of play because your nation/fan base doesn’t employ it. The cool thing about rugby is that it isn’t myopic. A team can have 70kg scrummy playing alongside a140 +kg prop. It caters for everyone and that makes it unique and so enjoyable.

When Wayne Barnes inforned Ardie about Sam's card's upgrade, Ardie asked "to red?" . Are there any other colours🙄? 😂😂😂

When Rassie Erasmus emphasised fairness and good officiating about Refs,Not one Nation supported him except South Africa because they felt hard down by the Ref and Tmo in the 1st leg of Brittish n Irish Lion Tour now that Rassie is adapted his players to play on how the game is being officiated and no longer critises the Refs and Tmo, Everyone is doing the same thing now that you All bashed Rassie for doing it we can all say Rassie is the Goat i cant wait to see the innovations he gonna come with next year and prepare to see 8-0 splits Newzealand should be proud they’ve players played their hearts in the final best team won end of the day

Wayne Barnes said he did not see it as Ardie, as he did not release. What about the 56 minute with Deon Fourie and line judge changing the call to a penalty, that led to ABs try.

Great talk thanks everyone. I think Player of the year was between Eben and Ardie so I can definitely accept and respect that Ardie won it, but I really think Jacques Nienaber was done hard by not getting coach of the year. If you look at the crucial calls that he had to and wanted to make with regards to taking off Manie after 30 minutes (against England), picking only Pollard in the final, the different styles that the Springboks adapted to playing, the 7-1 split, etc. he (and Rassie) is by far the best coach of the year.

anyone with issues from the ref hasnt watched the last few years. also head contact directly on shoulder and no bend in the knees is begging for a red card. improve technique, problem over, dont allow the ref to play. be smarter. less blame.

From a Saffa. One of those games once again that could have gone anyway. The AB's were very unlucky. They missed a few opportunities that should have won the game for them. It is one of those games between the Boks and AB's that one or two big decisions can decide the game. Sometimes you are on the right side or the wrong side of a wrong ref decision. Total respect to the All Blacks. Hard luck.

Great show. Bok fan here. The All Blacks did the jersey and their country proud. a phenomenal display. It is what we expect from you and what we always try to live up to.

Its the pressure from the Boks rush defence that forced the errors mate!

Also never in my life do I remember SA beating NZL in the rain. Those are the conditions NZL knows. As usual I thought it was game over for SA when I heard it would be raining.

South Africa have been saying all tournament that “defence wins matches”….and they proved it…. 209+ tackles compared to 80+ from the All Blacks in the final…Says it all….

I've enjoyed these videos during the RWC, nice work gents. On the ref issue: Rassie made a video, with evidence, about the inconsistencies and everyone laughed and called him bitter. Now it's all everyone is talking about. The Boks adapted out of necessity while most teams played the same way.

Proud Englishman here and this is some of the most balance rugby commentary out there, great content!

Another great episode. I'm a SAFFA and I fully agree with you guys on many aspects discussed, and also feel that just because the AB's lost should not preclude you from being critical and having an honest conversation as you have. Sour grapes is not necessarily being critical, its how you go about being critical. You guys have been very honest, sensible and respectful in how you have addressed your concerns so thank you, well done, and as always, respect to you guys, the AB's and your supporters.

What a great show. Well done guys. World player of the year for Ardie Savea is well deserved. The Al Blacks are without a doubt one of the greatest teams around and long live the Springboks vs All Blacks history of setting standards year after year. It's easy to be a coach critic, but it's a game of small margins, and your balanced views are awesome.

Now you know how Sa feels when we play you. The AB gets most of the calls in their favor.

Greetings from South Africa. You guys gave us a battle. We respect your team ABs

Loved this show throughout the world cup, staying beyond the world cup for more.....from SA

Brilliant show guys thanks for a proper analysis of the final. Much respect for the All blacks hope to do it again with you guys. Well done to my Bokke super proud of my team. ❤

With regards to the call against Ardie that led to the penalty , the same argument can be made for the call against Peter Steph against England that led to their first penalty. After the reply you can see that peter steph won the ball fairly but ref sticks with decision

Both teams had a tough Rugby World Cup, with some really challenging moments leading up to the tournament. New Zealand faced difficulties under Fossie, resulting in a roller-coaster period. On the other hand, the Springboks had to compete against the best teams in the world to retain the cup. As a South African, I was genuinely concerned about how much the Springboks had left in the tank. After a grueling match against a physical French team and navigating a demanding group phase, they appeared fatigued and essentially exhausted when facing England. They also just managed to scrape through that one. In the initial minutes against the All Blacks, the Springboks seemed stronger, but the question was always how long they could maintain that level of play. Without getting into the specifics of Cane's red card and the debate around it, the All Blacks being reduced to 14 players somewhat leveled the playing field. This is because they hadn't faced the same grueling path to the final as the Springboks had. These are just my two cents, but the All Blacks definitely demonstrated their mettle. Congratulations to them as well.

So much better to listen to vs The Breakdown, very glad that our broadcaster are making your episodes available for us as well.

When the best of the best plays against each other you can expect a tough game. Well done to my Springboks for bringing the trophy home. I have two brothers living in New Zealand and they will always be proudly Springboks supporters. I love the All Blacks and yes i am sad for them but i know they will always fight back and win all their games. 🎉🎉🎉Well done to the two BEST world rugby players for reaching the finals.

Best final we could have asked for the ABs were sensational with 14 men in second half, expected nothing less from them, well done to our boys, Bokke

As a Saffa regarding TMO, totally agree the TMO are only there for big calls that the ref cant see like high tackles. The knock on, it shouldn't go to the TMO, the ref clearly said no knock on. Yes there was a knock on, but it's the ref that needs to control the game not TMO.

How refreshing to see not the AB's players are respectfull and admirable but also the Kiwi pundits. Huge respect from SA.

That Judo neck roll by Frizzell on Bongi is one of the most dangerous things in rugby, it shifts all the weight on a twisting knee. Many players do it, and I look away everytime a player does it. This wouldn't have been as close with Bongi on the park, no scrum or Lineout for 78min

No one can doubt it the 2023 Springboks are the best rugby team ever in rugby history !!!

Echoing the sentiments of graciousness and humility in your commentary. They way the ABs fought back should be an inspiration for any team! Keep up the good work.

Respect the Black❤. Congrats on All Blacks you guys brought the heat✌️

I believe both bokke and AB fans, were not impressed with the ref situation. Personally, I was bleak when cane got red carded. It was just something I didn't want. Sadly, the reffing wasn't consistent, but the overriding theme from kiwi's I hear is, you could have won anyway. Which I think is the most important thing here. The rivalry is founded on respect. When you win or when you lose. And in SA, we have nothing but respect for the AB's.

Thank you for a balanced show, gents. I want to warn you that with every World Cup win, we as South Africa gather a whole new group of glory boy supporters who don't know anything about the history of the game. Please bare with us as you hear things from these fair-weather fans like 'The Boks are the greatest team ever / no one is better cos we've won 4 World Cups' and similar. This is as frustrating to us loyal longtime supporters as it is to you guys. If you've been watching the game for 20-30 years consistently, anyone would know that the ABs have been the most successful team of all time (in all sports), they have played the more attacking, attractive game, and that the Boks' successes are so often borne out of our Super Rugby rivalry years with NZ. Moreso, nothing has surpassed the ABs dominance and flair of 2011-2016 yet. That said, I have no doubt that with finals rugby over now, the Boks will start exploring their attacking game more as they were doing before (Libbok, Moodie, Williams etc) - and our next game with you guys will be a lot more wild and entertaining! Well done ABs - your guys all played like heroes on Saturday, and none of them deserved to lose.

I respect this show more then the breakdown.

Bravo SA 👏. EPIC TEAM ... but agree the TMO is there to assist. He was too involved. Good point. 👍 VERY GOOD OBJECTIVE REVIEW

I would just like to say after listening to this podcast this is why South Africans respect and appreciate the All Blacks. There are a lot of naysayers online at the moment and quite often they are All Black supporters dissing the match thinking they should have won but you guys have shown what the majority of supporters think and then analyse the game perfectly with an unbiased approach. And given South Africa the credit where credit is due. Thank you that means a lot to us and much appreciated We thought very hard for this and is quite upsetting when we hear people putting us down looking for excuses saying we were lucky to win three matches in a row by one point. People keep The game could have gone anyway no it couldn't We would have found a way regardless that's what makes this Springbok team so special. Oh and four missed drop goals by South Africa..

The AB's are the greatest opponent's. Was a privilege to play you guys in the final. This is a great break down of the game. Thank you and see you guys soon!

So much respect for NZ, love from South Africa

Bok supporter here. Agree 100% with the Ardie penalty. As soon as I saw that I thought it was harsh. Shouldve been a pen to NZ. To counter NZ had 2 kicks to win the game the officiating didn't lose them the game they had lots of chances to win

Like James Parsons alluded to, the interjection of the TMO is bewildering. He also forgot the forearm fend of Eban to Cane in the first half which is also a clear yellow. If the TMO is jumping in for the Frizzel yellow, why not jump in there. It was very easy and clear to see. I imagine that Kolisi doesn't get a card unless Ardie has the trainer come on to draw attention to the contact. If Degroot does the same its yellow. ABs game management to draw attention to the contact is too staunch and old school. You can hear Kolisi constantly talking to the ref or trying to hollywood and draw the call, all the Boks know to go down, just like Marks did in Twikkers. It's unfortunate but players have to play for the camera, not the ball.

Great show! I enjoyed the very well balanced presentation that tackled issues without being emotional about the outcome of the World cup even though this must have been really difficult.

Awesome Show boys, Much respect to you fellas. Happy as a Saffer, and feeling your pain. Thanx for a getting to the nitty gritty of it all making Rugby the winner!!! Lets all try and keep Rugby the fantastic game it is win or loose.

What people tend to forget this final SA team were absolutely exhausted before the game…. And they still won ….. so truly a winning side on a different level which we also saw with that game just before the WC started… No question at this time SA are without a doubt the best team in world…. Talking about refs has been a problem for decades…. So knowing how to beat a ref is Rassie speciality…making it another reason this team is phenomenal…. Well done Boks

My heart goes out to NZ. Controversial calls hurt when you don't win and interruptions from the TMO has also been a pain for us in the tournament. The head clash is also so controversial these days. But the rules apply to us all and when Rassie brought this up, he was sensored with very little support from other unions and now the chickens are roosting. It's been a game of margins and this time the axe fell our way.

Hi Gents , as a Safrican from Cape Town. Must Compliment you Gents on a Superb show , like the Neutral Respect and discussions around the game . Been watching Many of various channels and discussions throughout the World Cup , But You Gents are head and shoulders above the rest !! We know the 100 year history between the two Countries and also Being the Pinnacle of Clashes in the World Rugby!! If there is one team that I do not mind loosing too is NZ !! Huge Respect to NZ , but More importantly is the the friendships built between players after the game !! Super Respect to Both Teams !!

Proper un-biased rugby review, thank-you gentleman, cheers from a Springbok fan.

I know it was a tough one guys. I think I'm not alone when I as a Saffa had this strange feeling when the final whistle blew. We held on and it was opportunities missed. My immediate reaction with the red card was oh no now they going to think we didn't get it fair. We wanted 15 on 15. Or atleast make the dominance when we had it count in points in 2nd half. It makes me wonder if there is a parallel universe where one of your kicks went over.

I appreciate how you started this conversation and how you're recognizing and applauding our accomplishment. Although the Springboks performed horribly at line outs, they excelled in defense and kickoff, largely due to Handre Pollard's flawless precision. This place loves rugby. Even in rural and agricultural areas, it is played, and surprisingly large numbers of people from all over the nation attend-some traveling long distances, others strolling, hitchhiking, and some riding bicycles, donkey carts, and horses. Rugby competitions typically take place over the Easter break, particularly in the Eastern Cape's underdeveloped towns and rural areas. The mixed-race teams now get together there to show off who they are. This sport is part of who we are; we live it, love it, and it is part of our culture.

England had the V-formation during the Haka against the AB’s in 2019 semi’s and Ireland decided to have an infinity formation during the recent quarters. The Boks had never and would never disrespect the Haka, because we respect the traditions of the game. The Northern Hemisphere media have ridiculed the Boks final performance but you guys have shown respect.

Wow for the first time I get hear some real sense of what happened in the game last night... with real honesty and without bias all of you guys deserve the best.. great stuff 👏 🙌

Totally agree on TMO calls, thank you for the consistency guys. As a South African supporter i can agree, we get frustrated at some calls (we remember Rassies hour long rant…) We need to get consistency. But thx for the show (much better than the other kiwi one (you know the broken down one 🤭)

Since I can remember, there has always been issues with officials, and that will never go away because like you said, "players make mistakes, referees are human too" - They just need to be consistent when applying the rules. In 2011, the All Blacks won by 1 point against France, 8 -7, I dont recall them crying about it, or saying that the game was too boring. They celebrated and accepted any sort of win. A world cup final should always be close, because you want the two best teams to contest for that cup.

Respect from a fellow South African now living in Krasnodar, Russia 🇷🇺

AB's were very good, but Boks showed immense character. On top of that, Arendse only just missed a fantastic scoring opportunity plus made a cracking cover tackle on speedster Ioane

Hulle het gewen want hulle Glo in God en bid voor en na elke game.Trots op die Bokke

Good show under the circumstances. The bottom line is that neither side was able to pull away enough to neutralize referee decisions, which can never be perfect. On that score both sides failed. It was an excellent arm-wrestle of a game. It could have gone either way. South Africa got lucky (I'm a South African) and the AB's drew the shorter straw. I'm delighted with that, but it could just a easily have gone the other way. Hat tip to the AB's.

Great show, well balanced and great points made. Respect!

The reason I am a fan of the ABs is just like your show they are gracious in victory and humble in defeat from the first game I watched with Sean Fitzpatrick to Sam Cane have always been like this absolutely number one in my opinion well done Springboks on the victory

It’s funny how some people on other videos are saying it was the best final yet 😂….. they obviously didn’t see the other finals. I actually feel sorry for Barnes the TMO was in his ear the whole gang must’ve been hard. Leave the TMO out of the game unless the referee asks for assistance.

The manner in which Bongi was tackeled that caused him to have to leave the field, looks very suspect to me, please take a carefull look at all the actions of that tackle, then try to make an unbiased call on it, if that tackle were made on a AB's player, what would your call be? some ref decisions were right and wrong both ways. Get over it, we Boks won, accept it and move on.

Remember, if South Africa was behind in points, the urge to have been on the attack again would once again be inevitable. We remained the hungriest wolf in this Tournament.

Stop complaining about the Savea penalty. Literally, the play before Scott tackled Damian Willemse around the neck. So the penalty should have stood but for the Barret high tackle. After the Barret high tackle, Barnes made up a new law. He said the high shot was OK because Willemse was dropping. I can't find the law that says a high shot around the neck is acceptable as long as the ball carrier changes height. It's interesting how none of these pundits saw the Barret high shot just before the Savea penalty.

Hi guys Just watched this episode - Excellent show. Discovered your show about halfway through the RWC, and thoroughly enjoy the opinions and discussions. Fair, balanced, informed - just lekker to watch! As a South African I must reiterate what so many of us feel: Always love playing you guys, always feel lucky to have a win, never feel bad to lose against the great All Blacks. And most of all, the mutual respect, friendly relations and of course the banter! Also love that you guys get what Siya and his team mean to us, for us. Lovely show, well done. Cheers, from a proud South African.
