Quite right Danie is a good and talented player

True True. Completely agree with you on that statement

There are very few players with a list of medals like that.

I always said he is first in my pick for a team, not only good but versatile. TX Yster for the memories

My favorite player of all time...filled by Juan Smith

Chur bro! Kiwi saffa here 👍

As a springbok fan and reviewing it many times of course, I would have allowed it. Blades of grass literally made the difference that day!

@@cbachinger they did, ref’s (video) decision is final, as I keep telling my under ten’s group 😁

It was a try ...and I'm irish

I remember the English were smashed by us in the opening round and then went on an absolute tear. By the time we reached the final I was super stressed about playing them. I do wish they could have won too that day, it was an incredible match.

Funny my hope is for France to do well. I am Springbok all the way so if South Africa don't make it, I am rooting for France.

Thx bro

Very good point; he may not be around for the pool stages but for the business side of the tournament.

I remember telling my dad after JP's tackle that if the Boks won the World Cup, that this was the tackle that won it. 😊

O Yes,I remember it, Fiji game

Yes a good player and a good man

If he scored that try it didn’t affect the outcome. We were already 9 points ahead and made about 8 line breaks that game. It wasn’t a very close game

@@nicholasvanlierde2546 if it was a try and it was converted england would of led by 1, and the boks didnt score once.

True but I felt the momentum swung around half time when their flyhalf went off injured. I think he did his ankle. He was absolutely tearing us apart and a bit later John Smit was sent on to get our head in the right place. While that was a helluva scare I think the Boks had two many big guns to let that one slip.

Also true but it is how headlines are written there's never "Solid and talented SA win game they should have won." There always has to be some little hook which is lame.

As a kiwi I thought initially it was a try, but looking from behind his toe touched the line and you see elbow in the air, he carried the ball on his chest which mean elbow in line with the ball, can only mean ball in the air before being grounded, confirmed to me, no way was it a try. The right call made., then another angle confirmed it

As a Safa I can tell you it wasn't a try and made zero difference in the outcome if it was rewarded 15-6 duh !!!! 7 plus 6 = 13 still doesn't win .

Look at 4:37 in this video. You probably have never seen this particular angle, they'll never show it in England. Definitely shouldn't take 20 minutes. Depends who's operating the replay machine.

@@dougerrohmer yeah merely confirmed it wasn't a try also his foot touched the line then lifted, reminder his foot need only touch the line to be deemed out. 20 minutes and still couldn't award a try. Means they were looking for a reason to award the try, they couldn't find one. put this one to bed. that angle clearly showed quite clearly ball still off the ground, after his foot touched the line.

@@richardmatatahi4563 So you're saying because his foot touched the line while the ball was in the air it wasn't a try? Say "I know nothing about rugby" without saying anything.

But after they lost 36-0 they went on a tear and by the time they got to the final they were a completely different team. I really believe they could have won that game and a try like that would have been a real momentum swinger. Look how Victor talks about that game, the Boks never wrote them off.

@@Martin-pb7ts Definitely wouldn't have written then off, but would have gone into the match with a confidence that would have been hard to shake. Even with the 2019 final I reckon the guys went into that far more comfortably than they would have than if they were playing the ABs - even though the English ended up seeing them off comfortably. You don't thrash a yeah 4 times in a row and think you are going to lose right. You don't take it as a given but you back yourself to get there in the end - even if they have played some great games against other teams in the interim, as they did.

It was just after half-time. So who knows what might have happened. Still agree with you though that the Boks deserved to win it, and probably would have regardless.

As a kiwi we got taken out by a French forward pass in 2007, plain for all to see. Hearing the commentator saying watching the replay " Now was it forward? yes it was, by a mile" was little comfort we lost 18-20 Qtr finals. Wish we had the TMO back then.

@@richardmatatahi4563 the TMO was in play in 07. But his scope was smaller... And you got Bryce Lawrence to kick us out in 2011, so all's fair really.😉😉😉

Look at 4:37 in this video. You probably have never seen this particular angle, they'll never show it in England.

are you on crack
