I’ve got a feeling Steph Du Toit is going have a massive game , he is one to watch for me

As a South African, it gave me goosebumps watching this. I have so much respect and love for the New Zealanders. My greatest childhood memories are watching the AB's and SA play early on Saturday mornings. Can not believe at the age of 32 this will be the final I get to watch. NZ is my second team

Yes I was right Bokke won the world cup , mate 8 years as world champion 4 world cups ❤❤❤❤

Come Saturday after the final, these arrogant AB pundits will have been humbled and show respect to this amazing Springbok team.

The Underdog Tag is exactly what the Springboks ask for, thanks for giving it. It's going to be EPIC. Good luck to both teams.

Die hard Bok fan here. Love and respect the ABs since I was a kid. Was 7 with the 1995 game, and since then have so many great memories from this rivalry! Last week I thought, no way I will accept a loss to Eng; but with the final; Im sure the better team will win; whether it is us or the ABs, will be happy because I know its the best team in the world and I can respect it. Good luck, and hope to see the Ka Mate to throw down the gauntlet (has a special place for me as a supporter of the Boks to see it, but even know the Kapa O Pango will set the stage!)

Whoever see JK, Jeff Wilson and Mills, please pass my greetings to them and tell them its gonna be another 4 years😂😂😂

It's not just experience for experience sake either. A lot of these Bok players were the same who lost to Japan, Wales, Scotland, Italy, Ireland, England, NZ, Australia and Argentina over the past 8 years and went through the dark days with the Bokke, to then rise up, beat NZ in NZ, win a world cup and a British & Irish Lions series. These guys have been through the mud together and come out the other side as Champions. Underdogs forever, and never give up! All respect to the ABs and all their fans. One thing we have in common as fans (SA & NZ) is that we've been waiting for this one for almost 30 years. Let's go Bokke!

🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 A magnificent, humble and inspirational team. Go BOKKE. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Just a Saffa here to say, this game is going to be epic, the wc final ive waited 28 years to watch. I was 14 in 1995, i remember the joel stransky drop kick, i jumped so high raising both arms in the air, problem was i had a broken colar bone from a rugby game. So much pain and joy at the same time. If there is any team i dont mind losing too are the all blacks, im going for the boks to give us another heart failure momemt and to win in the last few minutes. Damn really cant say who will win, common bokke🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦, tou got this. Good luck to both teams. 🏆

Good luck from a Bok fan. May the best team win, love the All Blacks when we are not playing!

The incredibly skilful and rapid ABs are our most respected opponents. I have been watching them as a kid in the 70s from our farm in the Biggarsberg in Northern KwaZulu. Nothing comes close to an ABs /Springbok match for me. -Sid Going , Bill Bush , Brian Williams, Tane Norton and Grant Batty - I can see them still now as clear as day. Dad would get the Lister diesel generator thumping away early on in the day, our old B&W TV would crackle into life and we would sit riveted and fascinated by this team from the far end of the Earth. NH teams and their rivalry will never match the history, tradition and intensity of our clashes. Lots has been said about their style as the way they are are going to beat us. Lots has been said about our "slow forwards" and how we are going to be stretched. Ok .That will work if the ABs are playing in our half We will need to match the ABs in ferocity at the break down, give them the ball in their half and invite them to play from there. That's our style - Polly and Faf will be pinning them back there and our backs are just as fast and skilful And we have the best two forward packs in the world ready to do some serious damage and strangle that Bobby Dazzle right out of them. Good luck ABs - if you can pull a Mount Smart this time round then the best team in the tournament has won.

Between the two Teams Springbok has had a difficult way to the final. May the best team of the day win. Go Bokke go

Cant wait for Blondie to upload the latest show.....I want to see his pain regarding South Africa's win. To all NZ supporters, well done, we didnt agree regarding the red card. It was a privilege to play you, at the end of the day we kept the cup South of the equator.

These guys are way more confident than I am. It's a pick 'em. Hope they can do it. Go ABs!

Nice chat from Brad and Izzy. Good to see no arguments or sour stuff from the commentators. Personally, I watch to hear about how the game is travelling, and of course how the All Blacks doing. Let’s go boys. I think we might just have it.💪💪💪🏆🏆🏆🏆

I had a nightmare: Boks were up 150-40 at halftime. Twickenham relived 😮😮😢😢

Going back many many years prior to World Cups. NZ and SA have a long history. It's the ultimate game in Rugby. Tons of respect to NZ. SA BOK FAN

Well done to all. Thank you ABs for a great game. What a game! Can't wait to hear what JK and JW are going to say. Go BOKKE! So sorry for Cane, tough luck!!!

I remember as a child in the 70s when we didn't have television, my brother's and I listening to All Black rugby games on me old man's transistor radio and just constantly hearing the name Sid Going lol

Love it! it’s such a great thing to see the excitement for this. What a sport! Let’s go out and make it a spectacle!

@26:00 the "unearthing of Shannon Frizell" sounds like he is a Golem conjured up by Aotearoa to haunt world rugby rivals of the ABs. That's possibly true.

I would like an update from Sir JK please , Would love to hear what he has to say about SA Win

Victor Matfield, A fkn legend

Loving the confidence of the pundits! Reminds me of 2019 final and last week!

Beauden made the play at the crucial time vs Ireland - and it will be him who wins creates that moment again this week. So underrated its rediculous.

Israel Dagg called the exact squad, down to the changes at prop and lock reserves 😂

7-1 Split in a final in the rain where the back won't see too much ball. Guys seriously. This is massive. This swings it in the favour of the Boks. It will be a lot of kicking. Chance that there will be injuries to Pollard and Faf are low.

AB'S all the way holding the cup up high,from prior whanua living in Brisbane appreciate your courage and humility I claim psalms 91 covers every single player you make us proud aroha

I’m DEMANDING an update from the Breakdown. 🍿 🤐😂

Hoping the next Breakdown show will be another complete breakdown, Go Boks. Good luck to both teams. It's gonna be a belter one way or the other. A fitting final!

Agreed Damian is unsung hero- never gets injured

Huge game, may the best team win, hoping for an exciting, fair contest, Go Springboks!!!!!!!!!

and the WINNERS are ........ the BOKS 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Up the mighty Abs by 10+ 🖤

Sir JK. Pay homage to the world champions.

Let’s face it, from an outsider’s opinion. NZ & SA are the best historically as well as today. God Bless. I love when the hardest workers are rewarded.

Gonna be an awesome game!

Great show. Love my Boks, respect your All Blacks. The world just doesn't understand.

Whatever happens this weekend you've done us proud! Go AB's . Play it again Sams!

Without the guys in the front row we wont be where we are today. For me its all the pack. We were rubbish at the breakdown until Ryan, Sam and Savea have been immense, shannon brings the balance, hes taken a step up been awesome to see. The lineouts been superb, sure backs have amazing individual stuff. But the pack have been immense, all of them. FINALLY we actually look like the packs a weapon.

Last week I couldn't stomach the thought of losing to England and my nerves were completely shot at the final whistle. This week however, even though I would love the Boks to win, the result doesn't really matter. The only team I can accept losing to is NZ. The world cup got the final I think most neutrals (except maybe the English, French, and Irish) would enjoy watching.

im cocky as, but shitting my pants at the same time😂. Super proud of both teams for setting up this date with destiny 🇳🇿🤟🏾

Dagg provides such great comments - love his insight on the game. Go the All Blacks!!!! 👊👊👊

Ian Foster of course an chef to trust, love to the game ,same to everyone and really build up proud, confidence to team together with his staff. Build up a team to getting stronger with will, was better loosin some games in front of cup knowing all have to improve. Better then ireland winning all and history at cups hanging arround. Ian's Team its making us happy and showing how kiwis be. Never give up and doing better your way.

Stop, start, go slow, advantage Boks. Flowing game, advantage ABs.

Love Tim Horan, hope the Aussies can improve again. UP THE ANZACS

Radio Silence on this channel

Abs by 3 Sa has had Thier final two weeks in a row

Goddamit…listening to these pundits is gutting as they are saying my conclusions on how much we can take from beating the AB last game. Also agree with how to beat us and our weakness with the 7-1. You mofo AB’s make me nervous as F. Just make it a great game fella’s

The greatest two rugby nations in the world. Huge respect for both teams. Going to be epic .

Up the ABs!!

Izzy is a proper lad. Much love from SA and best of the best to the ABs.

Lol jeff wilson not so cocky when hes in front of a bok ..

You've got nothing!!!!SPRINGBOKS are confident.Our 2nd World Cup win against nz!!!!🙌

SA are unpredictable. Honestly they've come from nowhere to reach RWC finals twice in a row now. Cannot be too confident and we cannot underestimate them as AB fans.

Jordie Barrett try like another im also impressed! Saving ball and running behind line like pushed pinball its so great. If u getting space opposite bushing you left and right into try its so great. Sometimes if u fighting to mutch against u loosing getting popped further😍. Ping pong into try field, flying into or sneak into its AB try's 🙏 a halve dozens in final.

Growing up in SA my dad always told me that the ABs are the best in the world and we need to beat them if we want to be. ABs vs Boks has always been to see who is 1 and who is 2 in the wolrd. Best of luck Kiwis may the best team win🇿🇦

Israel Dagg's try against SA in Johannesburg off Ma'a Nonu was probably 'my' favourite moment against the might of South Africa.

To South Africa its so much more than a game of rugby, every boks player going to a tackle, scrum n every set play they going in for the kill. They know that its life or death if you don't believe me go watch every reaction from this semi final win. Boks are going to kill or die on that field this Saturday the country depends on it.

Enjoyed your light hearted but relevant commentary and insights of current and recent all blacks

This panel was great. the tension usually in studio is a little distracting, so this was great to watch. Good luck ABs, go Bokke and bring it home.

I love the Springboks has not chance in this GAME comment. You still have not learn from 1995, we win when it matters, the RWC finals.

Good luck everyone

Called by Victor….great insight!

Can't wait for the Springboks to come out and break these ab players xD. The guy at the end said they'd beat the boks by 12 points ... we'll see about that xD.

You guys forgot RG Snyman. 😊

Nice insight comments from the Panel. Nice work team Breakdown

To all our friends, rugby fans, rivals, and best of Frenemies in New Zealand. Enjoy the game, your team is awesome, well done on proving your distractors wrong...now bring it!!! Let's go into rugby battle and may the best team win, and may rugby also be the winner! Go Springboks!!!

My two favourite teams

Always have respect for the AB's but they've now lost the 2 biggest games in rugby history to the Boks! No moment or game will be bigger than 1995 & this (2023) came in as 2nd as the 2 biggest powerhouses met to determine who was the ultimate king! SA came up trumps yet again & this is something the kiwi's are going to have to live with & will always be brought up. Boks had the toughest road to a final ever as well. Insane. Get in you Bokke!

It feels like the ABS are up for the perfect game, so much milestone, the coach, the mana and so much to play for plus 5+millions kiwis just going up for it. I'm going to call it, we are gonna payback the BOKS. 35-12 to the ABS. GO ABS!!!

Tell were best its impossible Without suport and great different moves from all From a Aron ,ardie to Z in AB team or Zealand..... Aotearoa to nZealand all .

All Blacks we stand by u Go Warriors fight for ur 🏆🖤💯 we❤u.May the best team win💪

I like the the over confidence of the All Blacks and their fans but us South Africans are very hopeful

My favourite was Ardie hes always so passionate and works 100 percent all the time.

Two factors to win Discipline and Speed of game. Hope Ref sort out the players going to ground and water boys coming on every lineout and scrum. Weather gonna help defense, NZ better handling.

jerry collins was a weapon

Big Vic, visually he’s scariest man on the planet, but a gentle giant at heart.

Re: sleepless nights in France. Is that another reason why abs change hotels every week? Thought it might also be a security thing(Paris on alert?)

Just a small question. What is the chance if it is close towards the end and the Boks need a penalty to win. Would Rassie instruct them to deliberately do a knock on, with the Bomb Squad on, to get a scrum so as to get a penalty? Im trying to think like Rassie to see where he could get an advantage in some way! Just trying to play the chess game like Rassie has been the chessmaster throughout the World Cup. Hoping for a good game, so nervous and I'm hoping for the ABs to be able to squeak in. It's going to be such a humdinger of a game.

*RWC RESULTS* SA RWC appearances = 8 SA RWC trophies = 4 Winning Success Factor = 50%

Ritchie will come back for Razor and Razor will definitely bring him back👍

The two powerhouse rugby nation.. Hope the best team on the day wins...

ABs by 15 im actually quietly confident too got the same feeling i had against Ireland interesting stats NZ have better scrum and lineout stats than anyone else at the world cup

Forget the pass look at the present here nd now. Both teams deserve the finals. Both teams have one or lost this year. Now is the time to showcase their talents on what they have accomplished. Put it all out on the paddock. May the best team on the day win. I'm a true ABs fan. Go the All Blacks. Kia kaha.

The 12 - 13 channel very strong with Reiko and Gordy

All respect to my South African brothers, but its the All Blacks for me

McKenzie really surprise. ... young awaik creative like AB rugby lways its? Offloads where perfectioned it AB and McKenzie bringing ball back in, but great another follow and catching ball. All together gogogo Irish game was most impressive what AB staying together and every second was some supporting there.

Boks by 28 had a dream and boks won 35 7 😊skills u give it to the All Blacks but rugby is a power game and boks have power 😊

I love rugby. Getting slushed when the springboks win. I think everyone got the AB’s as favourites but my DNA knows what South African rugby is about.

Sorry Guys! The writing is on the wall. 💚💚BOKKE💚💚

If we start well and don't drop the ball, we will score tries and then our defence can keep them kicking for goals.

feel for Weber, been the best on form 9 for the last few years and was overlooked.

My comment I guess has to do with the content of kiwi rugby shows (I'm a kiwi). There's almost no analysis. No discussion shedding light on tactics. I'm not an expert, and its so refreshing when someone can explain the patterns of phase play or how we might be using pods or decoy runners. Or how our defense underwent a huge shift from man on man to man on ball. And to see replays, pausing the action, to explain these things. And I almost always get these insights when I watch foreign shows. Buy not Kiwi shows. We talk in cliches about ‘manning up’ or ‘the big occassion’ or so and so has been ‘huuuuuge’. But almost nothing as to what the coaches are implementing - complicated patterns designed to beat the opposition. Why is this?? Nz is a rugby nation but our major network shows - especially anything with JK on a panel, are so trivial. You don't gain insights at all.

AB's had a easy RIDE to the final, very easy.

Am I missing something here Mehrts? How is this too tough to call? Ok yes, Mbombela, BUT that was an ABs side completely mashed post Ireland and new coaches in charge. Ok, Twickenham for the Qatar Tomato Sauce Cup, seriously? Who cares. The two SERIOUS times we have played the Boks, Ellis Park 22 and Auckland 23, we have wiped the floor with them. England was seconds from beating them as well meanwhile we destroy the Argies in 2nd gear. The Boks have gone in with 7 forwards so they will hold and maul all night, in the cold dark, Parisian night, with Colby as reserve halfback (no joke). I dont think the ABs are just going to sit there and just watch. The Irish were comfortably held and choked out with 14 men. I also dont think the ABs will give Colby and Arendse the ball to run. England provided the plan. Scrum, kick, force error, repeat. Anyway... Ill say it. I will be shocked if we don't win and convincingly, like the 2015 final.

Amazing how NZ went from "cant wait" and "greatest rivalry" before to "well there are problems in rugby" afterwards. Well done to the Kiwis who can admit their team was not 100% on the day. Its about rugby

I just hope either Team Wins, NOT the Referee , NOT the Touch Judges ...I just hope that a Poor Decision doesn't Win or Lose it for either Team, of course I'm picking the AB's but may the better Team Win 🏆

All I can say as a Springbok fan is that I love the NZ confidence and we love being the underdog. Good luck.
