I love how there are so many positive comments from both sides of the camp. Huge respect to the All Blacks, you guys are our most respected rivals. Thank you France for a wonderful tournament. Thank you all fans for the awesome support. Can't wait for a great match on Saturday. BOKbeFOK!! South Africa 🇿🇦 ♥️

We're in for a treat this weekend! 🫡😊 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Enjoying Danny’s analysis. Go Bokka!!! And much love and respect to the AB’s but we can’t let them get to 4 before us :)

In 1995 my son was a two year old playing with his toy cars on the coffee table during that final, now he is a dad himself. 28 years we have waited to again see this ancient rivalry in the game that is the pinnacle of rugby union. The 2023 final. May the referee have a great game so that we can all simply admire these tremendous teams and their heroic exploits. Go Springboks! Do it again!

All Blacks vs South Africa.. The greatest rivalry in rugby. As an English New Zealander I was hoping for an England New Zealand final. Oh well.. The Boks and ABs always make for a good game. Best of luck to the Boks! Come on NZ 🇳🇿

Awesome work. You don't normally see this level of analysis outside of Squidge and Wibble. Very refreshing to see this on official channels.

Massive respect to our New Zealand brothers- can’t think of a better outcome than these two titans at each others throats for 80mins in a World Cup final. Remember as a kid in Cape Town in 95 watching the final with my mom and dad.

I'm not sure about the next champion... both teams are playing very brave! It'll be a great final 🎉

This is indeed could be the greatest grand final in the modern Era..... biggest rivalry in sports history, both teams a fearless, and dominate the sports through out the years, I'm happy to witness this final in my lifetime. May the best team wins! Go the mighty ABs!!

Go the Mighty ABs! ❤

As a South African I say see you on the pitch kiwis. For a good ol' bashing and a cold frosty together afterwards. Truly respect the all blacks. Love the boks👊

Most engrossing and enlightening video of this tournament, not least because of the heightened interest a final incites. More of these, please! What a game it's going to be, and what a great final for rugby as a whole.

Two great teams with varying individual strengths. Heart will win this one. Both Best teams in the History of the Game. Fitting Final.

Danny Cipriani certainly knows his stuff. Was impressed how he interpreted each team's way how they handled different phases of play. He nailed how the AB's have their strength out wide which no team has been able to handle. The bokke use their wings at the back is interesting as I never really noticed, but explained, it now makes sense. I agree 👍 💯, if it is very wet then the bokke have an advantage... but if is dryer then this plays to the AB's strength 💪. Well presented, I must admit this happens to be one of the better ones without bias. Just can't split the teams at the moment. My heart ❤ is with the AB's 🇳🇿 .

From a Bok supporter may the best team win, go Boks.

If New Zealand can play expansive rugby in similar weather to the one we faced against England, then they deserve to win it

game is gonna be epic... I'm backing our all blacks especially after the quarters against Ireland but if the boks get up how could you not admire where they've come from to get to this final... the top 2 nations in rugby history .... no luck needed just pure heart and determination from both sides... lessssgoooo

Amazing analysis from Danny and so articulate. I wonder if he'd ever thought of going into coaching. .

South Africa!!!🇿🇦👌

Going to be an epic game.... May the best team with.... Go Bokke !!!

oh this is QUALITY content. Love this. As someone who is fairly new to Rugby. I love the breakdown. I am HYPED for this match and I feel equipped to appreciate it even more now. thanks!

Good breakdown analysis of both teams and respective plays and moves. Sound insight and analysis by Danny. Sam brings in relative and interesting stats. Great interpretation and objective. Enthusiastic and passion comes through. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you 🏉

What a pleasure it is to listen to rhese 2 guys 🇿🇦🤗

I’ll tell how they’ll go on Monday 😮 I’m so excited for this game this could be the match of the century.

Can't wait. UK bookies says AB's 1.72 SA 2.3. These are excellent odds for South Africa and worth a wager. I believe we will beat the AB's, but honestly unsure.

Round 1-AB Round 2-SA Round 3 for the World Cup is going to be 🔥

Great analysis. Cipriani is a fantastic thinker about the game. That being said, how nice would it be if non-World Rugby-owned-properties had access to this footage and could show it on their channels? Might help with trying to spread the love of the game, which we're all trying to do. Just seems fantastically short sighted. Especially when the formats that World Rugby has been putting out were basically pioneered by independent content creators.

There are many discernable differences between these two teams but there is nothing definitive where you can say they will win because.... I think it's going to come down to heart.

Springboks are the underdogs and we prefer it that way.

All Blacks 🖤🖤🖤

No one talking about these two teams have shared the last 5 world cups and will be the world champions for over 20 years!

South Africa have to start Faf de Klerk. He will be key to victory. Clear mind, great read of the game to start plays and stop plays. With the tension in this game he will bring the best relaxed mindset and help to calm everyone down while being focused.

Unfortunately, the rain forecast is a serious damper on the Springboks' chances. But we hold out in hope.

The north need to learn off these two great finalists on how to play effective rugby. Up the mighty All Blacks 🦾

This is one of the best rugby sports journalism videos I have seen in a very, very long time

Well well well, the majority of the Rugby show are making South Africa the underdog, and you know what happens when South Africa is the under dong, their victory is settled. 4 RWC on the way to South Africa. Deja Vu 2019

New Zealand 🇳🇿 for sure🎉🎉🎉

Heart says NZ, but brain says Boks ABs will be very consistent in every facet of the game, but the Boks will ultimately want it more

🇳🇿 🤝 🇿🇦

really enjoyed this indepth analysis of 2 contrasting styles their approach and execution how fitting a final 2 of the greatest rugby nations in world cup history and as a nzder of course I'd very much like my side to lift the Webb Ellis but also so pleased we do battle with none other than our great rivals and southern family the mighty Springboks it simply doesn't get any better....

This analysis certainly made me look at the game and how its played differently, small tweaks , and intentional positioning , etc , one cannot doubt that both NZ and RSA have the ability to win the final , its going to come to who wants it most on game day , crossing fingers that it will be the boks 😅

Btw his surname is Du Toit, Steph is part of his first name.

I always hear the words “ MASSIVE RESPECT TO NEW ZEALAND” however I don’t hear these words for South Africa? Hope we get the 4th tittle on Saturday.

Sad to say this, but - if it rains, it may just go to NZ. Hopefully it doesn't so we can watch the greatest match ever. Go Bokke!! Much love to our Kiwi Bros & Sister!

Great show and a Springbok supporter I think you guys did a great job here...who wins is a very hard call isn't it really..both teams have got what it takes...my concern for New Zealand is that besides Ireland they played lesser teams..my question is after the Twickenham disaster and the loss to France have they gotten over the psychological factor of those losses???...you know in the back of the mind...35 - 7 really hurt them..I think its on there minds knowing New Zealand..they will be wary and therefore very very dangerous...the Springboks must get right up on tip of them immediately and stifle them..they can't handle that as they like to run us around as much as they can...its a winner already when sitting thinking about it...rugby will be the winner come Saturday...one team will go glorious and take the trophy lead with 4 wins...oh and bragging rights for four years..its a great rivalry between the two sides and will only serve the loser to seek redemtion its what makes this rivalry so special..we push each other to just do better...

This game is going to be elite AF

Great analysis by Cipriani on seeing the adjustment Lomax made to make the pass to free the outside backs to create the Leiceater try.

The real question is why world rugby gets the best youtube analysts channels flagged and striked when it's all educational??????? Can't wait for an entire reform of World Rugby employees.

Its crazy to see how desperate people are for NZ to win.....................

It rains every other day in NZ . So ABs are so used to the rain weather . Let’s go ABs

In Rassie, We BELIEVE 👌🇿🇦🏆🏉

Best pod on the net...welldone guys..

Sam Cane... What a beast 🇳🇿💪

really great chat. First time i have watched this podcast really impressive. Thank you for the insights

Hollywood called and they want the Springboks to win for a future movie ending.

I think Boks are a little more tired than All Blacks, I see AB as favorites but I like Boks more. Let's see the game. Greetings to everyone from Italy.

Awesome analysis of both teams

Fair and interesting comments and analysis

Great analysis for both teams! I think the SA route to the final and the ABs timing and preparation for this game and team will compound to an ABs thrashing of SA. With all due respect to SA as a team and what they've already accomplished.... ...I think NZ will respond to the Twickenham test loss in typical fashion. 12+ points to the ABs. 😬

Good work. Thanks, worth a listen

i predict a ton of chipping behind the defensive line. Springboks better be ready for that

If it rains it comes down to skills and nz have the edge there!

interesting analysis but Danny's comment at the end about wet weather being favourable to the springboks chances and not the All Blacks was odd given NZ are very capable in the wet. He also side stepped guessing the final score so I'll do it for him....AB 35-15

Great analysis

This is the most amazing analysis I have seen in ages! Thank you!!

❤Thank you very for your professional insight

Im so excited!! I cant wait this is gong to be amazing- BOKKE!!

Best rivalry in rugby. It’s going to be amazing

I look forward to this clash SA are tough, but I know the All Blacks is taking number 4.

Brilliant video!!!

Excellent show, Danny is an excellent tacticion and pundit, seen him on a few shows now and he is well ahead of a most others out there

I swear there must be something in our boerewors and braais that just separates us from the rest of the world 😂 Go Bokke 🎉

NEW ZEALAND man of the match, they may have to share it.

Those stats are really cool but look at the opposition. New Zealand has played vs South Africa.

Brilliant analysis. I’m expecting a big game from Telea. I’m hoping Leicester is on the bench.

Go THE ALMIGHTY ALL BLACKS, GO. GOD BLESS. GOOD LUCK. CHEERS

Amazing analysis, really enjoyed it!

Rassie has figured the ABs out.

I love Dan. What a calm intelligent individual. He should be a coach. My rugby IQ went up a few points. Go Springboks!

Quick ruck ball is key for NZ. Slow the ball and game down for SA. What will Barnes allow?

SA will keep the game in close quarters. NZ will open the game up. NZ have to save their worst for last to give SA winning momentum. SA have been to the well and just found enough against France and England. I cant see them finding extra when they desperately need it. NZ will be flying, SA will be trying everything to slow the game down. What a contest and I believe the beautiful game will win it over the suffocating, constricting, scrummaging variant. NZ by 17

Here is another way to look at it. A cold analysis. The Achilles Heel and greatest source of criticism of this AB side has been its inconsistency. They can play amazing rugby and then get beaten by Argentina (for the first time ever), or lose a series to Ireland in home soil (first time ever), or have its worst loss ever - against South Africa, right before the RWC - or lose to France in the first game of the tournament ((first loss ever in group stage). So…. Let’s look at it this way. The ABs got ran over by the Springboks and then lost to France. After that, they had no real challenge up to the Quarterfinals agains Ireland. They played a great game, but it boiled down to details, and if it wasn’t for Jordie Barretts’ miracle tackle in the Try zone, they would have lost the game. The game against Argentina was a scrimmage: the Pumas did not deserve to be in that Semi-final. In other words, after the losses to South Africa and France, NZ played one important game, agains Ireland. They played well but did not win by a large margin and Barrett pulled a rabbit out of his hat. On the other hand, South Africa has shown amazing resilience, composure and a very, very thick skin. The battled their way to the Finals. Based on this perspective, as much as I would like to see the All Blacks win, the odds are for South Africa.

I've personally seen this bald man drag himself up from the gutter to the middle of the pack. Very impressive stuff in spite of his obvious impediments.

Brilliant analysis! Guess we have to be more fluid to be the All Blacks!

After not having high expectations for this RWC seeing the All Blacks leave NZ on a high after beating the Boks in SA & NZ only to get spanked hugely in Twickenham & then by france in their first pool match. The haters came out. All Blacks were written off by many, only to rise & rise again, The Boks have had a couple of very close matches while the All Balcks have had a couple of maches where they stretched their legs and played expansive running rugby, to completely dominate teams that had over achieved until those games. The Boks are a quality side, defending champions, while the All Blacks also are a quality side with this team only recently coming back from the depths of despair. I think if the all blacks can play fast paced expansive running rugby they will win, with a narrow margin, If the Boks can slow the game down and control possesion then they should win. The two best teams are playing in the final and either can win. Much respect to both teams and countries. This RWC has been a great showcase of rugby. Either way Southern hemisphere Rugby wins, But, as a kiwi, "GO the ALL BLACKS" Kia Kaha!!! 🙂

People talk about SA's bomb squad, but NZ have routinely played with 5 outside backs, making them very strong in air & on the outside. Not much (thus far) in the way of NZ's midfield trying to break through the line, instead it's kicks (kick passes and chips over the line) and trying to get to the outside. Jordie, Beauden and Richie all pretty comfortable covering the back field. It might be the day for the Bok midfield to shine.

Dont know alot of mistakes and handling errors happen when it is wet for both sides,if ABs can keep handling errors to a minimum will go along way to wining ! Best to both teams Wow cant wait for this final !!!

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched on the face” -Mike Tyson

Yes - its going to be an interesting game from a tactical or strategic standpoint. I think you're right though. And that the game could go either way. But with the likelihood of the game becoming more suitable to the way the All Blacks will want to play it as it progresses. At a frantic pace. And run via the space everywhere. But especially out wide. Plus the All Blacks being far better in the wet rainy conditions playing the game. Especially if employing a running game. Of which they are most likely. However, the Bokke will bring their best game of the tournament for them yet and stay in the hunt I feel up until the last 10 only. Why. Because the frantic paced running game employed by the All Blacks from first whistle shall have run their forwards ragged. And kept the All Blacks way out in front anyway on the scoreboard. Seeing a dominant performance from out wide and in the air via the space everywhere. Bokke will be in it though till then. They will score highly too. Nevertheless, they shall still be beaten by the All Blacks comfortably. I'd say to be taken by about 10-15. Say with a score of about 39-26 to the All Blacks.🙂🙏🙌👌✌️👍✊️👍✌️👌🙌🙏

The ABs are better in most departments except maybe the pack where it is 50-50, the ABs total rugby style will be too much for the Boks, interchanging positions , forwards as backs and vice versa. All this versus a dog tired (emotionally and physically) Boks, they won't be able to lift themselves for a 3rd time against a rampaging ABs.

Excellent analysis

That is great analysis by danny

best teams made the final as it should be, I'm so excited for this game, so excited

Don't care who wins I just want to see both teams smash and an insane match

This is how NZ should be playing - running into gaps and offloading quickly to supporting players and making defences scramble. They lost sight of that until this RWC.

Great analysis!!

Nz by 2

Great analysis zazazazaza

Thing is can't predict the game till is played.

Excellent analysis - NZ maybe but too tight to call
