Excellent podcast but the audio levels need to be sorted. I need it on full volume to hear the interviews and then get blasted when the adverts come on!

Agreed - but, they (British media) are doing exactly what they are accusing Rassie of doing - using social media to further their agenda and point of view - a matter of the pot calling the kettle black!

Yes but thank god he never has to ref another of our games

​@business3867 im sure you would've been quite happy with his bullshit reffing last night

@@shane1899 He did okay kept the New Zealanders in it at least

@business3867 you're not wrong. He really kept them in the game with 14 men for 55 mins. And then siya smashes into ardies head... meh just a yellow. The final part of the game.... looks like nz getting a turnover meeh fuck that game overl here you saffa have a free rwc trophy

Well said Sir

Rassie should take note

@@wanderer5598 100% he should simply follow the process. Engage behind closed doors like everyone else. At the very least avoid stoking the flames on SM.

Erasmus should be hauled over the Coals by world Rugby!! How dare he make any comment? Wayne doesn't deserve being intimidated by any player. Rugby has to Ban Erasmus for at least the entire international season this year, and possibly the world cup next year, he should be shut down now by both the South African rugby union, and world Rugby. He needs to grow up.

You earn respect ;)

That French guy talks an awful lot of shit.

@@patrickbrennan911 That's a very polite, well-thought-out comment. I imagine it took you some time to compose it. That's the type of remark that is unnecessary. Now, go and find your carer and apologise for accessing the internet without their knowledge, and promise your carer you won't do it again.

@@green856w ok so I didn’t expand to any large degree, I guess because I though it was plain for all to see. At the fawning and talking in circles. I think Barnsey was even embarrassed listening to it!

@@patrickbrennan911 You're entitled to your opinion, and assumed that 'all' think the same way as you do. Guess again.

As are all the others…

He is a fantastic .

I'm more shocked that he hasn't received a call from Rassie or Jacques. Just give him a call and show some empathy and sympathy. We as south africans are better than that.

@@thehalf8 Absolutely man, it’s really disappointing!

@@thehalf8 It's because they don't care. Dirty country, dirty people.

@@mushimi_ we do care. But each to their own. The number 1 rule in South Africa and people will most likely go by this as law. "don't be a doos"

@@thehalf8 They owe him nothing.

Rassie is not the one with the whistle in the mouth. Nor did Rassie told or motivated anyone to send remarks to any referee. The footage was witnessed live by the entire world, including Barnes's inconsistent refereeing.

@@sbok9481 My comment was that Rassie was doing a disservice to France and the Springboks who played an intense game; the players themselves. I'm old enough to have loved Rassie as a player but be disappointed in his social media.

@@beewalkerqt Strange that you say that Rassie disappoints you in his social media. I could remember that Rassie himself defined "media" -and it's not Rassie's job to educate people in what media is. The reason for Rassie giving a definition of "media" was exactly to individuals who are not educated enough to understand. Why definition?; Eddie Jones conduct special media interviews where he criticises referees. Have a look at Tas analytics videos of how often Eddie does it. Those footage are then posted on social media. It is also published on other media platforms, like articles. Eddie Jones also conduct post match interviews where he criticises referees at will after a game. Dave Rennie: We all know, last year November, how Rennie climbed into referees during a post match media interview. That happened a week after he said that coaches should not criticise referees , refering to Rassie. During the week after his post match interview, he had additional media interviews complaining about referee standards. Warren Gatland: Was the one individual who started it all, influencing and criticising the referee in the BIL series against SA even before the game started in media interviews. He made sure the referees hears his criticism. The referee, Nick Berry, then had the worst game in his history by even ignoring SA Captain on the field in sight of the entire rugby world. That was the referee overdoing it, demonstrating that he is not favouring SA, as Gatland insinuated. SA went to lose that game that was handled unprofessionally by Berry. Rassie responded with his 62-minute video. Rassie was made out to be the villain, suddenly forgetting all about Gatland the week before. Dave Foster: The NZ coach that continued with the habit of criticising referees and highlighting players supposed transgressions before a rugby match, especially against SA. He knows how to influence referees. One example was when Kurt-Lee Arendse had a great game against NZ, and SA beating them, Rennie was the entire week in media interviews forcing for a red carded Arendse to be banned. WR heard him and suspended a player who played his first test match, kept his eyes on the ball and ran himself concussed into the legs of Barret. Not deliberate. So, every coach choses their own media platforms to get their points across. Whether Rassie leaks a video or use social media, he is always at fault in your eyes, who sees nothing wrong when other coaches do the same. The only difference is that people hate Rassie because he is the current World Champion.

Wayne is biased against the Boks

@@beewalkerqt Yet here we are, the British media (this KZfaq channel) is doing EXACTLY what they are accusing Rassie of doing - using social media opinion against Rassie - the pot calling the kettle black?

Well said, sir. So many decent and Rugby-loving Saffers out there that we have bumped into over the years. But there is now an increasingly visible thug channel, riding shotgun for Rassie’s pettiness, called TAS ANALYTICS - which is essentially just a breeding ground for xenophobic hate. Probably the ONLY place I’ve EVER really come across this in either Union or League. Maybe decent South African supporters - like yourselves - can address this to preserve our game from the grip of the idiots. There have always been rivalries - and please God, there always will be - but the hate has got to stop. I originally sent this reply to one of your level-headed countrymen above - but I was moved by your comment too.

@@mikegray8776 indeed it's just a game man. We have to move past the Anglo boer war.

And also just fucked the rwc final hes a rubbish ref always has been always will be

Dunno man - many people would be unable to report on news in their country, on certain people, without anonymity Why use Twitter if you're a referee - just avoid it

You're the epitome of a tyrant's supporters club, convinced of your moral righteousness while being so.

Gifting SA 3 points in a World Cup Final, then within a minute he admitted his mistake on the mic.

He 100% the problem with union rubbish referee too much stopping and starting and still gets heaps of calls wrong

....indeed...he must take the blame for fans threatening refs after the England vs France match and the Australia vs Ireland....

@@therealmrfishpaste I agree

Accept that refs are biased and World Rugby is corrupt.

⁠​⁠@@thomasluke980 WR and these same refs were at the RWC in Japan. Are you suggesting that as they are so bias that along with WR that they fixed games allowing the Boks to win the tournament . Wierd how these refs were fine at the RWC then but now these same refs are bias Or is it you only think they are bias when South Africa lose ?

@@patrickchilds2987 have you watched Rassie’s video ? Go do some research. There are plenty of videos showing clear bad calls against the Boks. We don’t lose every game or win the WC because of the ref but it does happen. Today the Boks were poor and the AB’s were far the superior team despite one or two controversial ref decisions but we were hammered by the most successful team in world sport. Their record is UNBEATABLE.

It will be the best day ever !

Where did anyone attack Luke Pearce? Don't make up sit. Do you know only about 10%of SA's are interested in rugby? Don't you disrespect our counties people.

@@sbok9481 Don’t let this savage drag you into his narrative … must be an ex Bell Pottinger employee! 🤔

Just a touch patronising Andrew🤘🏻🇿🇦

World Rugby needs to take a hard look at themselves. Corruption is rife. Wayne is a cheat !

@@sbok9481 10% ?? Are you drunk ?

“Hate”? I hope that’s hyperbole. Because I fail to see how you can “hate” a referee.

@somanytakennames I find it interesting that you read the phrase love-hate and only saw the word hate. So I will be overtly clear, yes it is hyperbole, just like the 99.9% of times that phrase is used.

@@uChakide Can never be too sure with the way sports fans behave these days 🤷‍♂️

@@somanytakennames fair enough

How would you police and assess players respect in the game ? Rule 9 in the law book covers this Refs like Nigel Owen’s and Wayne Barnes speak highly of Owen Farrell and don’t consider him disrespectful. How would that appease fans such as yourself who are upset by him ?
