Absolutely no doubt mate, I'm a South African and I always appreciate his honesty and unbiased opinion. Unlike this DSPN Matty who is biased. I listened to him when he interviewed Hansen and Foster how he led them to say negative things about Springboks winning the World Cup over All Blacks.
@@monwabisihenisi3877 As a kiwi, I don't pay any attention to what Marty (or most journalists) say about rugby. I do pay attention to what former players and coaches say though.
Aye. A sound comment. Justin is held in very high regard up here in the North. We thoroughly respected him as a player. We now hold him in the same vein as a pundit/live match commentator.
Hope yous all had a sound Crimbo. In my opinion, as an old bugger who's listened to many pundits since the 60s, Justin Marshall is possibly the very best of them. He is also a superb live match commentator. The top pundits all know the craic, but for me Justin's direct, un-wavering lack of any form of bias is what places him at number one, in my wee opinion. I've heard him commentate when the All Blacks are "not on song", or (very rarely), being revved by a better side: and at no time is there even an inflection of blame, or malice, just acceptance of facts. His praise for the playing quality of victorious (rarely) All Blacks oppositions is on a whole other level. He never croons when the All Blacks beat a team (usually). Justin, for me is honest. He is a proper sound man. God bless him 🏴☠☘
now this extremly wonderfull man justie will be the all blacks rassie what a brilliant embassidor and role model for NZ rugby this guy is your key you kiwies
Bok fan here. Totally agree that its piss poor for Fr to not send their best team to NZ. Be sure the Boks WILL send their best. They bloody have to. Eden Park….phew!
It is piss poor, but at the same time can the higher ups not schedule that international window to play some other teams first and play France after their Top14 has finished and there's more availability.
This cry over France not playing A team in summer... Unless they change the schedule it will never happen! Top 14 finals will always be prioritised as the clubs pay the players...
I'm a bok supporter and I say if France doesn't take their first team to New Zealand then they are scared of loosing to the allblacks so take your first team France because allblacks brought there's to France this year ,return the favour France
Calm down. We have a long season and cannot have guys playing all year round. that is why your Bulls or Sharks send second string teams. I dont criticize them. Summer series are friendly games. In the mean time we have finals in Champions cup, Challenge cup or top 14 Why should we forfeit them to bail out NZ ?. Furthermore what of the ABs respect to their own fans as they had proposed to have a game in the USA to make more money? Calendars, distances do not work. We, you ,are not magicians who can change them. Dont worry we are not afraid of losing to the ABs
They'll lose a heap of respect that will never be forgotten up here in the North, too. Forget "being tired" et cetera, get your best uninjured player's arses down South, France.
They know they probably will lose playing the AB in New Zealand with their strongest team, so rather play a development team and have an excuse for the loss. It’s a fear of failure and not arrogance
...."we were scoring tries against a blitz defence!".... LMAO Justin our attack was so lateral how many times were we caught out playing hot potatoes and how many times were we forced into errors!!!!!
Don't agree, the Springboks are the main draw card cuurently, playing to full capacity crowds more than any other team, Nz couldn't even sell out Wellington playing at home!
non kiwi here. naturally we have much respect for the kiwi but I feel there too much panic, I've seen enough to tell ABs everything is alright and will be much better come world cup. viewers around the world would bash boks for losing games but we SAns knew and backed the boys to figure it out. that's why the bomb squad is calm, we reassure our boys they relaxed focused. calm down trust the boys and see how they react 😉
Marshall lesson about respect is pathetic when the AB suggested to play against the French in the USA to make more money and thus depriving NZ fans of a game. For the AB it is money money money. Dont need respect lesson from this guy
AB's a fantastic team, but I find their commentators very arrogant. They have a sense of entitlement, which, in years past was justified, but now is just immature and ungracious. This is also a partial reason why teams like beating them.
I disagree in respect of Justin Marshall's commentating. But accept that he is a stand alone figure in that regard. Many are positively partisan in extremis. Sickeningly so.
I don't care what anyone says, Justin Marshall is one of the best NZ rugby analysts that we have.

jeez he's good
I've been following some Kiwi vlogs for some years now, mainly due to the positive vibe and inspiration they impart. Merry Xmas Marty.
Justin what a pleasure listening to you. Honest charming man that is so knowledgeable.

The French do what they want...and I kinda love it

PLEASE RAZOR, leave the Jordie/Rieko center combo in 2024!!!!
If you're not going to use his boot(NZ pretty much didn't at all this year), does Jordie even make top 5 midfielders in NZ? Rieko certainly doesn't.
They know they probably will lose playing the AB in New Zealand with their strongest team, so rather play a development team and have an excuse for the loss. It’s a fear of failure and not arrogance
Go bokke!
You said NZ has to get a settled team. S A used 51 players this year. So no team played a SA Settled team
Southern H teams should boycott France until they send an A team.
Wales won't sell out any game curently regardless of the opposition, they are on a 12 game run of straight losses.
...."we were scoring tries against a blitz defence!"....
LMAO Justin our attack was so lateral how many times were we caught out playing hot potatoes and how many times were we forced into errors!!!!!
3:02 min Did he say the Springboks and Wannabies are playing? 😆🤣
gimme a descent backline wheres the new cullen gmon blk finishers

Go write a letter of complaint to your local MP.
@@Tehui1974smart answer and powerful reasonning. Congrats
yep Justin knows very well why France cannot send its best players to NZ, but he seems to ignore it. Common Juistin, try to understand France!!!!
