It was a positive moment, but not so sure the country became one. I think ‘95 was more cathartic for one segment of society, and it was ‘07 and particularly ‘19 that broke down barriers more widely.

Unfortunately as a 12 year old, my parents sent me and my sis to watch Dumb and Dumber, however when leaving the cinema and seeing the scenes at the Waterfront, impeded the seed to be a lifelong Bokke supporter

@@amilliondone3018wtf can’t believe they did that to you! Although dumb and dumber is a great movie haha

@@michaelx3419not due to rugby. Interbreeding tends to take care of a lot. Look at our abbos in Aus. At least the firs have less flat noses

💚💛

This something like it, perhaps a good old England win in 2003, nothing has quite beaten the spectacle that was

​@@Budge94Stop your waffle

@IrisFost What he did said, there's nothing like a springboks world cup. There is others like England who have won it countless times too

@IrisFost I don't have any waffle so how can I stop it?

@@Budge94 England won it countless times?????????

While that stat stands in history... one stat the Bok don't have as evidence of world Rugby supremacy and dominance is back to back World Cup titles. Should they fail to win the upcoming World Cup Tournament in France it will be another two more tournaments before they can emulate the feat that only one team in the history of rugby, has ever succeeded in achieving. As an All Black supporter in my mid 60's l wish you all the best in France later in the year. Cheers Bokke 🍻

@@teevis3620 Thanks -btw I'm a Kiwi /AB Fan!

​@user-te3jc3sl7r Algud... rugby is Rugby, and we all know what happens when teams don't show up on the day.

​​@@teevis3620as a Saffa I would just say that its why the ABS and Springboks are the two greatest teams. Not just the three wins apiece but for all the aforementioned reasons. The ABS incredible back to back wins (a herculean achievement), and the Boks winning every final they have been in, and winning three despite missing two WCs. It puts the two in a special club. Not just in rugby 🏉....but in sports overall. We are the Brazil and Germany ⚽ of rugby imho.

​@@teevis3620back tl back means nothing. Springboks is the best world cup nation . Because of works cups played vs wins .

One day 🤔

Sooner than you thought

Smears ? 😮

There was absolutely no reasons to omitt that special moment to South Africans..

He baba! I do not remember a player with such a name. Which province did he come from? Hamba! Suka!

@@nathimanci1195 All you need to Know is That he is a Legend, How many guys do you know, who can switch From Playing Fullback, FlyHalf, Scrum half And After many Years Played prop.

You can even ask Jonny Wilkinson, he scored that try Against them. Please stop the Hate, Love From a Real South African.

Who will get to 4 titles first? SA or NZ or Ireland? I'd say ireland

Bro ireland have 0 world cups💀

@danielels5786 Yeah but they'll win the next 4

@@Budge94 bruh you Irish are mad, never got out of a quarter final and now you reckon you’ll win four in a row😂😂😂😂

Dream on 🇳🇿💪

Rubbish poison in the 95 world cup they should have thrown Mandela back in jail for that one 😠

What about NZ in 2007? Much worse than that, there was reasonable doubt in 2011

@@Budge94 2007 was 1 massive very bad call. 2011 was about 20 wrong calls

@tristankeuning Springboks gave a dumb penalty which lost it for them in the end. Had they been disciplined, they would have won. Is 3 world cups not payback enough anyways?

@@Budge94 No, it is not! It robbed a VERY good Springbok team the change to defend their title! We will not forget.

Will be very difficult

@@Budge94 anything is possible 😆😂

Tear Jerker baba!! If I remember correctly, he rounded or even side stepped the king of the side step, himself, King Campo. Legendary! But Campo was never much of a defender to begin with. But a legendary try all the same.

Excuses, excuses, what about France in 1995 then? What about Wales in 2015 and 2019? All were robbed

@@Budge94 Something tells me you didn't watch that game because you weren't born yet in 2011 🤔

@hencoharmse8757 Yeah, Springboks may have been robbed, sure they were robbed in 2015 too by a forward pass try against NZ Happens to everyone

3 world cups is decent payback for all that anyways, isn't that good enough for you?

True that

Nz hold the freedom cup 😁

Correct guess 👍👍👍

@@tanpa82 No guessing. Fact and faith in our team.

Salute my man, from a Saffie.

Careful my man, your comment just raised my blood pressure by a few notches. We've started wars over rugby!!

How stupid do you feel now?

4 out of 8 now

Plus 2 bronze medals. 4 from 8 a possibility?

@@Budge94 never write us off

@@wezvandez Never have, Boks always have a chance

@@wezvandez I've written my favourite team ireland off, as the usual disappointment happens, but there's always the Springboks

as they are equal with the all blacks no they arent the most successful country at world cups

100%. People still say "Springbok tactics". Like, yes, we do tend to play a trench warfare style of rugby for the last 30 years, but people forget that we used to have one of the most feared backlines and running play in the world prior to the start of the 2000's.

@daaichommie708 oh yes couldn't agree more. Even as far back as the 50s South Africa pioneered attack based rugby. The boks of 51 was responsible for the massacre at Murray Field. In those days tries counted as 3 points as well if not mistaken. Even the teams of the 80s in the rebel tours was anazing attack based patterns. If you watch our Top Rugby schools we play all a similar style of ball in hand direct rugby at pace. Real bok rugby is both beauty and the beast. Which sadly has been somehow forgotten the past 30 years. We have lost our way quite a bit but nothing that can't be fixed. We have the fire power to crack teams open

Why sad, if you want to be the best, you need to beat the best

@@fomofud9479 He's not confident Springboks can win.

@@mpilomabaso3088 the Boks always perform better when no one gives our boys a chance. I fancy our chances Vs both NZ and France. It won't be easy but we definitely have a good chance.

N zealand won't even beat Italy.. as if they meet the irish will batter them...talentless bunch of lightweights mate...wake up..😂😂😂 aussie here wake up..

@@user-gs4tn9pe6m that's ok, you're allowed to think whatever you want. As the most successful RWC rugby side in history we tend to get a lot of haters like yourself which is just fine. We ignore the comments put our heads down and just try to win our 4th RWC equating to 50% of the RWCs we've taken part in. Comments like yours help us achieve our goals so I want to thank you from my the bottom of my heart for the inspiration. Have a great day :)

Also, in 1995, the Boks were robbed of a clear try in the final. No replays on that, why?

You got you rematch in 2019

@@Budge94 we have 2023 brothermnan there is still a chance

As an AB supporter l would support the Bokke if we exited early. ...and any other Southern Hemisphere team should both teams exit early.

4 years, the RWC is in 2023 not 2024

I would say he and Handre Pollard are neck in neck for that honour

If you're going to troll, at least try to be accurate.

That's a fact dirty bokkes

@@Karma-qt4ji I’m not a troll. There were interviews of NZ player talking about on KZfaq commenting about how many were vomiting 🤮 and having massive diarrhea literally 16 hours before the game.

@@McCool80 I never said that they weren't ill (two nights before the game, by the way), but 28 years have gone by with not a single shred of evidence ever surfacing to support the "intentional poisoning" theory. The "smoking gun" for most theorists is an interview on NZ TV with Rory Steyn, the SAFFA head of security with them at the time, who said he believed it was intentional based on what Laurie Mains had said he had found out. That's it! Hearsay passed down from Laurie Mains, the same coach who was so adamant that his team was intentionally poisoned that he covered up the incident and allowed every shred of evidence to be literally flushed down the toilet. Yes they were ill that week, but drinking water in a foreign country is far more believable than some cloak and dagger bullshit lol. Unless you would prefer to believe that a foreign betting syndicate managed to secure employment for one of their agents, who had no credentials and only a first name, in a 5 star hotel belonging to an international consortium, bypassing HR and recruitment protocol, and getting her not only access to, but control over, the VIP clients who were there at the time. All within 3 days of said VIP clients arriving at the hotel. People like @ Russell Turner here, are so keen to believe this bullshit, that they even ignore the other opinion that Rory Steyn offered - that SA Rugby had nothing to do with it....
