Which is why that Jaque Fourie try is probably the greatest try of the decade. Everything hinged on him crashing through all the defenders.

@jasonshaun6657 3 жыл бұрын

He actually didn’t expect the ball because he got poked in the eye inadvertently then went to the wing. Next thing he looked up and got the ball.

"Its not the jersey you put on but the jersey you take off" is the PRIME example on what sets us South Africans, and Southern Hemisphere teamps apart from the northern hemisphere and why we have 4 world cup titles. In south africa, that green and gold is in our blood and DNA. That jersey NEVER COMES OFF on that pitch, blood and sweat is only and will always be for Mzansi. Anything else does not matter. 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆

I have watched this match a couple of times and also the BIL doccie, O Gara unfortunately made some average decisions and was playing for himself on that day. Also after watching his interview after the Boks taking the wc in 2019 I realised his true nature and the fact that he would cheat to stay in a game I have nonliking for the guy.

It’s got nothing to do with his previous achievements. He’s won all sorts , a legend of the game and now managing a top team. His career doesn’t have any influence on my comment. I was watching the game and immediately said a final whistle he was awful and handed them the game. he came on and everything thing he did was shit in the form of decision making and execution. He probably did have a concussion…. He should have been taken off the pitch. But he played on . We would have been better with 14 men.
