Good luck Ireland from a South African. Enjoy South Africa.

Great pod.We actually love the Irish and respect what they have achieved as a nation and a rugby team🇿🇦

should have been a best of 3 tour. still excited for Saturday

Great comments, guys! Good to know that not all Irish rugby folk are like OTB and their listeners. Much love from the Republic 🇿🇦

Bring any person to tears 😢, Chasing the sun and the way the speaker is relating his experience in South Africa 🇿🇦

So excited for this. All the best to both teams. From Johannesburg, SA🇿🇦🏈🇮🇪

Guys, it's rugby, it's exciting. Massive respect for you guys. You are a Fantastic team. But Saturday I can promise you we are coming to smash you. That will be the goal. But that's the game. Much love and respect for you guys off the field.💪

It's not ill will...it's just banter mate. Just go with it and enjoy the ride😂. Super keen for the game

Lovely chat, guys. Thanks for sending Murray to Sunny South Africa 🇿🇦. Really enjoying his coverage, including the Irish team in Alexandra township. Much love. 🍀 🇿🇦

Love the fact you guys have a man on the ground! South Africa love Ireland and the challenge 🇿🇦 huge respect

Kind kind words ...respect ..tears tears .. SA has the identity as you say not to be underestimated. ..Welcome Ireland to our country ..May u enjoy win or lose ..much respect ...to be sure ..to be sure.

If we can win one game its a massive result for us. SA are such a great side.

You guys are legends. From a SAFFA

Great to have the Irishman in our country 🤗👍👍

Amazing video.. thank you. unbiased and truly professional!

What a great way to see the season off, playing the world champions in their backyard.

this feels like what the lions tour was supposed to be like...

Eben's first language isn't English even though he speaks it very well. I understand what he was trying to say and it actually isn't as bad as it was made out to be.

The Springboks, like any team, are better if they play for something bigger and they can make it personal. Whether it's a construct or not, Rassie is good at building that narrative and I'm sure Farrell is also a great motivator. In a game of inches, the little things will matter.

Ireland has become our biggest rival, used to be ABs but ireland now took that spot, ABs will be back but thats gonna take time. I don't see ireland winning both matches but if they loose the first one its gonna be very tough for them

Love this content

love the pod but in listening to Etsebeths press conference, he did acknowledge there's probably a misinterpetation on his part on what was meant by the irish lads and how he received it. which is what irish commentors had said when they heard his initial comments.

The culture is different but both countries have great people. Rassie has done a tremendous job for his country and is a legend like Danie Craven and will be inducted into the IRB/World Rugby hall of fame. Remember if not for modern medicine he would be facing a life threatening illness and he's as positive as anyone. Also had a very difficult childhood w.r.t his dad. He comes in, throws Heineke and Jake's policy of bigger is better out the window and selects Kolbe. Now we have several similar player playing and another heading to Munster.

FYI Ireland rugby media: In SA by tradition going back to the numbering system, number 6 is openside flanker and number 7 is blindside. In case you were wondering if Siya is blindside and PSDT open... Pieter-Stef is blindside (7) and Siya openside (6) ....

good luck Ireland from South Africa. Dos not really matter who win as long as Rugby win.

Could you maybe add a link to this promo you’re all talking about?

This is rebuilding phase towards the next world cup

The Spring boks are not ready for the hammering. I like both teams but The Irish are humble and will bring it on Hard. Excepting lots of injury 🤕 . And best of luck to best teams.

Go after Eben for that.... Hope you get to meet him one day

Where is the promo vid that u guys are talking about?

Something tells me Ireland isn't in it, hope they are but feels like they're not and SA over hyping the test. Hope it lives up to expectation but I don't think it will tbh

The main thing, especially in rugby, will always stay the main thing which is the performance on the pitch. So why not let the media hype the series, the occasion and the spice. I believe it’s only good for the game.

Let best team win!

Everyone is saying Ireland will lose by more than 10 points. The Irish love the underdog tag. I'm looking forward to it big time. May the best team win. Pints afterwards, no matter what 😊

We actually enjoy the Irish. I think ask the average South African who'd they'd rather back against and it would be England and Australia every time before Ireland. That said from personal experience I seem to recall there being "niggle" as way back as 2006, when apparently in Dublin John Smit asked the ref if he could talk to his boys, the ref said yes, and while his back was turned Ronan O Gara think it was took a quick tap and scored. The public didn't like that. As for Irish people in general, when I guided Irish people in South Africa I found your sarcastic humour is very similar to ours. We enjoy Scots and Irish sense of make fun of ourselves and almost cynical humour.

😂😂❤🇿🇦...flip the Irish Whiskey....Buffelsfontein...👊

“Ragdolled”

Why do they not recognise Roos. Is it jealousy?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love when he said *I don't think anyone has said Ireland are the best in the last 8 months". 😂😂

Finally! Some Unbiased Irish Punditry!!!!!! Literally the first time I'm seeing it!

That's just the way we like to hype up a match ireland will start to learn how us South Africans build up to a test week so don't take anything serious about the hype it's just the way we r😂

Shambles in our rugby in the past ...was just political

Honestly boys, I find it really amusing how all of a sudden Ireland aren't " the best team in the world" according to EVERYONE. Maybe it's because I haven't listened to you guys as you weren't on my feed until now but in SA you couldn't go an hour without hearing how Ireland are the best even though they got knocked out the world cup. Maybe I've been baited quite badly by the (mostly) northern hemisphere media but yeah, all I hear now is how tough this game is and how the Irish haven't called themselves the best in the world for 9 months now. Excuses in my eyes to put it bluntly. Just an observation from a Saffa but yeah, may the best team win. It's going to be absolutely electric. Go Bokke, much respect from Cape Town🇿🇦🔥

Argentina are the best team in the world because they won the football world cup, south Africa are the best team in the world because they won the rugby world cup, alot of ex players and the media are trying to annoy the south Africans, we are going there more in hope than expectation, and anybody who thinks differently are living in cuckoo land, we are not playing well and our regions were shambolic in the latter end of the season, maybe Farrell and o connell can get these lads purring again but logic would suggest a 2 nil defeat 😳

It might come as a surprise to you guys but football/soccer is the most popular and the national sport in SA, besides the biggest cities and the eastern cape soccer is by far the most popular sport in SA.

You may think its fun but the easily triggered Saffas believe it

On the off the ball, james tracy called Rassie disrespectful for getting their players names wrong but they cant even pronounce ours players names or even try to pronounce it properly but no irish people dont see it that way. If you dont make an effort, we wont either. The irish media have been degrading the Springboks since we became world champions in 2019 and now they down playing all the comments and videos they made about the Springboks. Did you really think we wont defend our rugby team as you do for yours?

Rag-dolled by James LOWE what a joke, one partially dominant tackle and you talk about it for years…. The boks by 20 😂😂😂😂

Rassie does annoy me, in the same way, if not to the same level, as Trump!

Hope you know Ireland going to get absolutely steam rolled on Saturday … the boks are going to ripe you guys a new one .. good luck … you gonna need it . The World Cup squad pales in comparison to who you facing on the weekend. 🏆🏆🏆🏆

James Tracy is the most boring and uninformative 'analyst' Ireland has to offer. He was the only Irish pundit who was saying Ireland would win the world cup and kept going on about Ireland being number 1 in the world.

Champions vs Almosts

Unfinished Business kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7WUqrqTrNLakmQ.html I belive Rassie also commented after Ireland kept quiet when disrespectful/dismissive commentary circulated that Irelend were the best team in the world. Even before the Springboks played their first match straight after winning a world cup. Ireland, conveinetly kept quiet so now its time to enjoy the repercussions of "spicing it up" and toot hype train. Otherwise game on what an exciting match its going to be.... Go Bokke
