@@oliverkirsten9208 He has a point. Let's take the RWC 1999 semi where France destroyed the ALL BLACKS! The French flyhalf Lamaison dropped 2 drop goals and a few penalties and brought France back to 24-22 when they were down 24-10 at halftime! Now looking at this game, France was phenomenal, but they were missing the clever fly half that could controlled the game a bit better! Du Pont was controlling the game wonderfully, but a cooler-headed flyhalf would have helped him! I am a Springbok fan but a cool-headed French flyhalf would have beaten us!
Methinks that the ABs and the Boks understand that the RWC is not a test series; they are capable of playing in all weathers, all stadiums against teams of all ilk, bringing and melding their strengths in a bespoke fashion to overcome whatever lies before them - the ABs with incredible spontaneous synergies of skill and pace while the Boks rest on iron clad defense and ingrained systems of trust and complete commitment. The Final is going to humungous!
Not to mention the synergies, skill and pace of the Springboks. Don’t know why so many people still think SA players are stuck in a 10 man pattern of unimaginative rugby played by huge men. In reality they’re scrum is not always the heaviest or tallest, or even most successful, but they use it well. In reality they’ve nearly always had fast, small, zippy creative players that produce as much sparkle as anything the AB’s or French have produced. Think players like Breyton Paulse, Brent Russell, Chester Williams, Naas Botha, Danie Craven, Jaco Reinach, Bryan Habana… Etc etc. All relatively small, fast and smart on the counter. SA just happens to also have a few clever beasts around sometimes too. And analysts who think the Boks are characterised by forwards and the kicking game, such as Jeff Wilson still thinks, don’t seem to realise that the AB’s actually kick more than almost everyone. And more springbok tries by ratio have been scored by SA’s backs and wings than the AB’s. If you look at the stats you’ll see that such stereotypical opinions about the Boks are simply inaccurate.
@@rorygilmoreNZ Finally someone said it, the boks have become so much more than the stereotype that people constantly pin on their backs. they have a formidable backline. Against France that backline was presented with three opportunities in that first half and they ran every one over the line, outstanding running rugby!
There's always this sense of disappointment by the media and pundits globally whenever the Boks win.. Its always begrudgingly and with a sense that they really hoped the other team wouldve won.
Totally agree, no one ever backs us….we have only conceded one card for a high tackle the whole tournament (unlucky one) so what’s the deal? Maybe good our players only play for us and don’t get the respect, they deserve. They earn it.
Love how you guys always think you know how SA are going to play and then they come out with something completely different. The days of them being predictable are long gone. Yet everybody still seems surprised every time.

So many key moments in the game. Multiple tries from broken play. Eban's intercept knock back. Kolbe conversation knock down. Choosing a scrum from a mark in the 22. Deciding to go for a planned tap and go (from the penalty) from the French 5 meter. Pollard slotting 3 from the 55 meter line. If it wasn't for any of those events, it could have gone the other way.
Eban's intercept knock back? Big call from the ref. Images are not clear to indicate that the ball went back. But ok. Kolbe conversion knock down. Kolbe left before Ramos started his kick. Blatant error from TMO. Pollard slotting 3 from the 55 meter line. This should have been a penalty for France as the SA player had his hand on the ground. Considering the1 point win, you can understand why the French question some of the refs decisions. Choosing the scrum was impressive, I agree. Other key moments in my opinion that explain that France lost: Fickou not passing the ball for the 2 tries to 0. Ramos missing a penalty he scores with his eyes closed in a different context. France's poor positioning and handling on SA's first try after they should have been 12 or 14 - 0 up. Congrats to the boks for their victory.
Heart broken as french fan but yeah best side won. SA bench came in to eat us tactically they were one step ahead of us. Beware of Ox Nche he destroyed our scrum
Great game from the French. Just wanted to comment on Ox too, cannot believe the amount of power that man carries. Even when he touches the ball in open field, there's this burst of 2-3 meters gained, regardless the circumstances.
@@JuicyJLee there is a picture doing social media rounds at the moment - a photograph of Jean Kleyn in the Bok squad during the anthems, with the caption "Jean Kleyn is going somewhere no other Ireland international has gone before" 🤣🤣🤣
"South Africa deals with pressure very well..." True JK, very true! 👍🏾 That is because our team has been taught to remember that this is not pressure. Keeping the lights on and feeding your family...thats pressure 🤷🏽♀️
JW- " We knew the was only two teams who could come out of these two Quarter finals and it's the All blacks and South Africa..." Don't lie mate, i saw your predictions and you were rooting for France. 👀
For me, the fact the fact that the French did not tour NZ or South Africa...or even Auistralia with a full-strength side, is that their players really have not had any pressure in big games outside the familiar European six nations. For me, their prep pre-world cup showed how they were very protective of their players instead of exposing them to pressure.
It’s a good point. They think they’ve been satisfied with taking on the southern hemisphere nations at the back ends of their seasons. These world cups is where all teams are meant to peak. Every other time is the wrong end of the away teams seasons
They lost by a point and were the better team for large parts of the game. This was a toss up game, unlike the Ireland vs New Zealand game, where one team was hamstrung by two yellows and still was clearly the better side.
This french team would've beaten the All Black's sad to say glad South Africa played them these teams are playing great it was painful 🤬watching ABs we got lucky hopefully we can get back to great running rugby
I like what JK has to say, don't always agree with him but I enjoy his strong opinions, doesn't muck about. Makes a nice change from the much sanitised sentiments expressed nowadays by most media shows.
The worst pundit?he knew last year ABs were going to beat Ireland in the QF,I know I kept his prediction in my mind all this time to see if it came true he came up trumps♣️♦️♠️♥️
Please can mr Sir apologize about the Boks being predictable. We went with a crazy 9/10 a wild game plan . Even called a scrum on a mark ! Like that was predicted 😂😂 Maybe 4 tries to 3 like the Boks are boring or maybe mr Sir be scared . Love this show , it inspires us to win just to see "some " pundits faces 😂😂
The best rugby in a weekend anyone has ever witnessed.. Happy the boks made it to the Semis, really sad for France playing at home and missing out at a shot the take the cup.. Looking forward to playing NZ in the finals.. I just love it when my anxiety shoots through the roof watching these two rivals play each other💪
you hit the hammer on the nail... Rassie even flaunts him gameplan... creating pressure. Just in awe how well the team executed it... One thing that should be highlighted... Rassie's character of being willing to loose for the greater good. Something Irland got wrong it seems. It takes some big ones to go against the critics as your head is on the block if it doesn't work out in the end. Kudos to France, probably the best team of the world cup with the only thing they lacked was the experience of lifting a world cup. SA has some grit!
Hi guys as saffas and SB supporter i have huge respect for you guys as true legends of the game. Thank for taking the time to discuss this. i was supportinh AB aginst ireland but nothing will beat a Springbok All black final. Its a love hate relationship between us southern teams,,, but united against any other
Talking about the AB & Irish and Boks & France QF games, the results is a reflection on what is printed on the sleeves of these teams. Six world cups winners between the two victorious teams, says a lot about the preparation and big game temperament of these two giants. These QF games were probably the best rugby many of us witnessed and makes 2023 the best World Cup till to date. I don't think the world is ready for any further upsets so I believe it will be AB vs Boks in the final, what an epic game this will be.
The France game was a definite nail bitter. However, the 1995 final was also intense but this one against France trumps it as France had the fans and home advantage.
more like Boks and All Blacks have a long history together. Boks prefer all blacks winning against any team apart from them. It makes the history that much more special.
😂 The natural order of things is being restored to the world when SA and NZ are the top two rugby teams. Here's to them playing in the final (& SA winning of course). Hopefully I'm not jinxing them now.
All I was thinking whilst watching this video was, "Wow, what absolute gentlemen of the game. We need more of this in Rugby. No bad mouthing other teams and giving credit where it's due. These guys setting an example for us all. Big respect from this South African fan. We might be in a bitter rivalry with the All Blacks, but I do think both sides have enormous respect for the other team as there is very little that separates these 2 sides. Either side could win this World Cup, and either one would be deserving champions.

@@sports2hedz542 unfortunately, the knock on wasn’t ruled as such on the field. Head clashes happen and a yellow was fair. France had many chances but made crucial errors. SA had less than the French and maximized their opportunities. Condolences my friend
Ireland and France ranked #1 and #2 coming into this world cup and both are out. SA & NZ are ranked #1& #2 now after the weekend. Is it a #1 curse bowed out before the final? Are Argentina and England peaking at the right stages of the tournament? On paper, NZ and SA are the favorites to make the final, and I believe the ABs are starting to believe that a 4th world cup title is now possible because they know they can beat Argentina, England and SA. Who will execute the best game plan in the semis will win. As a rugby fan, I want to see the ABs and SA play in the final with 3 world cup titles each, and see who wins this tie-break of titles, importantly, a chance for Fozzy to prove everyone wrong back home (including me) and have the last laugh. At the end, my prediction is that the winner of this world cup will either be England, ABs or SA. Yet, anything can happen in a knock out competition which Argentina might pull off the most greatest upsets of all time by beating the All Blacks in the semis and beating either England or SA in the final world cup of 2023 because that Michael Cheika is a dam good coach.
@@Sportsfan1042 NZ beat a better side than France or SA? Please explain how NZ lost to a worse team in their first pool game then? By your logic then, if SA beat the team that beat The Team, then they should beat them in the final, if both make it through.
As a SAFA, after a few months, I can confidently say that we feel “a poes” for anyone that criticises us in our playing style or said that we were lucky etc etc, we won, and world rugby hates us which made this win even more special.
I think there IS some pressure on England. They may not be well liked, even by other European nations, but they are the Northern Hemisphere’s last hope for a World Cup win.
What did JW just say at 5:48...."we knew that there was only two teams to come out of these two quarterfinals and its the AB's and South Africa".......didnt the forum write South Africa to not even get into the quarterfinals....
How many times are these guys going to tell us that the Boks have played their best game? Bad news, fellas. The Boks are still building form. Their best is still to come.
The same JK that called the Boks boring all of a sudden does not know what game plan they will play next.... lol Like the little dig on the HIA rotation .... Imagine sending Ardie for a HIA to give him a breather in the last quarter of the game..... Seriously now ..... why would the boks risk doing that. 😅
Jeff Wilson: “I think France played pretty well”. Eng, Irish and European commentators: “Was this possibly one of the greatest rugby matches ever played?”. I am finding the Breakdown commentators increasingly reluctant to praise anyone but NZ, to the point where it is starting to come across as pathological.
I think the return of Fezzel , Retallick with a rested team put the all blacks at a huge advantage! The only tough games they had were France and Ireland. Now that they back at full strength they are definitely favourites
This wasn't France's best chance to win a World Cup. France has been in the RWC Final three times before this. This might be the best French team in a generation, maybe even ever, but also look at the other teams. EVERYONE is so much better than five, ten, twenty years ago. The All Blacks are not the force they once were, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are worse. I think it means the others have got that much better, and perhaps closed the gap. Wales, Scotland and Ireland are better now than they have been in a long time. This Springbok team is perhaps the best of all time. Look at it in context. France were, and are, brilliant! They just got beaten on the day. There is no shame in that. Rugby wins.
don't know why I'm thinking a 7/1should be the plan to beat the English. it's the drop goals for me and key players in the English have been working hard throughout the pool games.
So, it was supposed to be an all-Horthern Hemisphere semi-final according to ... (well, you fill in the blanks). I guess some dreams are meant to be shattered. Not easy to eat humble pie.
"We knew there were only 2 teams that would come out of those groups NZ and SA" who and when? Almost everyone not from those 2 countries was saying If DuPont played France would win and most non NZ's already had the Irish winning. I think even your panel had France beating SA with the home crowd advantage.

Considering Jeff W amswers most of his own questions, Mils performed really well 😊
😂😂😂
The Boks just wanted it more. That try from Eben was sheer will. Congrats to them and their fans
That deliberate knock forward and head collision too...
@@sports2hedz542 unfortunately, the knock on wasn’t ruled as such on the field. Head clashes happen and a yellow was fair. France had many chances but made crucial errors. SA had less than the French and maximized their opportunities. Condolences my friend
@@sports2hedz542 I think the ref had a better view than you
@@hankgoldenshaft I am a Bok fan. It doesn't mean we shouldn't call a spade a spade.
@@aviateur1618 remind me to tell you the same the next time you disagree with a call
Can almost smell the hangovers from here
JK’s body language when says South Africa are the world champions. We know it hurts JK.
Ireland and France ranked #1 and #2 coming into this world cup and both are out. SA & NZ are ranked #1& #2 now after the weekend. Is it a #1 curse bowed out before the final? Are Argentina and England peaking at the right stages of the tournament? On paper, NZ and SA are the favorites to make the final, and I believe the ABs are starting to believe that a 4th world cup title is now possible because they know they can beat Argentina, England and SA. Who will execute the best game plan in the semis will win. As a rugby fan, I want to see the ABs and SA play in the final with 3 world cup titles each, and see who wins this tie-break of titles, importantly, a chance for Fozzy to prove everyone wrong back home (including me) and have the last laugh. At the end, my prediction is that the winner of this world cup will either be England, ABs or SA. Yet, anything can happen in a knock out competition which Argentina might pull off the most greatest upsets of all time by beating the All Blacks in the semis and beating either England or SA in the final world cup of 2023 because that Michael Cheika is a dam good coach.
NZ beat a side better than SA and France they will win
And now argentina and England will be ranked no 1 and no2 after this coming weekend. Thencurse😂😂😂
@@Sportsfan1042
NZ beat a better side than France or SA? Please explain how NZ lost to a worse team in their first pool game then?
By your logic then, if SA beat the team that beat The Team, then they should beat them in the final, if both make it through.
@@jkmb5758knockout rugby is different son.
😂😂😂😂😂 Argentina won't get near that all black team
“Using the boot too much” lol. Soooorrrrrrrrryyyyyyy.
This Jeff guy was all about the French. He dont want our smoke from the Boks
As a SAFA, after a few months, I can confidently say that we feel “a poes” for anyone that criticises us in our playing style or said that we were lucky etc etc, we won, and world rugby hates us which made this win even more special.
I think there IS some pressure on England. They may not be well liked, even by other European nations, but they are the Northern Hemisphere’s last hope for a World Cup win.
What did JW just say at 5:48...."we knew that there was only two teams to come out of these two quarterfinals and its the AB's and South Africa".......didnt the forum write South Africa to not even get into the quarterfinals....
It's so weird how JK and JW can't hide their disappointed that the springboks won🤣🤣
They even said that the Boks will lose the quarter final and it wil be a NZ France final
@@wyronscholtz3257 it's sad really and deep down they wish england could beat us as that would be an easier final for them
Because they know in the final. We will beat the all blacks
Every quarterfinal game has been awesome, by far... best world cup ever
How many times are these guys going to tell us that the Boks have played their best game? Bad news, fellas. The Boks are still building form. Their best is still to come.
I don't knw the young guy on the wing for France but the boks worked on him, that was awesome
Jeff Wilson and JK choking on their words. Mills you speak sense but other two flop around from result to result😂
Best game of world cup , hope the Boks go on and win it , England will give them a tough match
The same JK that called the Boks boring all of a sudden does not know what game plan they will play next.... lol Like the little dig on the HIA rotation .... Imagine sending Ardie for a HIA to give him a breather in the last quarter of the game..... Seriously now ..... why would the boks risk doing that. 😅
Mills has his own mic😂
P U M A S !!! 💯
Mills always neutral - fantastic commentary!
Mills, I have always said you are one of the most level-headed rugby analysts along with Brian O'Driscoll.
Mills seems to be the only one of the three musketeers who actually watches the games.
They smiling these days.probably gonna say this is how good Springboks can get.Boks still have a lot to show.go bokke!!
Mils finally got the mic...
Jeff Wilson: “I think France played pretty well”. Eng, Irish and European commentators: “Was this possibly one of the greatest rugby matches ever played?”. I am finding the Breakdown commentators increasingly reluctant to praise anyone but NZ, to the point where it is starting to come across as pathological.
I think the return of Fezzel , Retallick with a rested team put the all blacks at a huge advantage! The only tough games they had were France and Ireland. Now that they back at full strength they are definitely favourites
Defining moment of the 2023 Rugby World Cup: the chargedown by Cheslin Colby, first cousin of Wade van Niekerk - world 400m recordholder.
Rugby players should be giving proper millions this is world class entertainment
Jeff
You didn’t think the boks would be here you tried to kick them out at the group stages
Its all plan out which is why i had no idea they were going to win
Did he just say we knew who would come out the quarter finals lol😂
This wasn't France's best chance to win a World Cup. France has been in the RWC Final three times before this.
This might be the best French team in a generation, maybe even ever, but also look at the other teams. EVERYONE is so much better than five, ten, twenty years ago.
The All Blacks are not the force they once were, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are worse. I think it means the others have got that much better, and perhaps closed the gap. Wales, Scotland and Ireland are better now than they have been in a long time. This Springbok team is perhaps the best of all time.
Look at it in context. France were, and are, brilliant! They just got beaten on the day. There is no shame in that. Rugby wins.
Man of the Match: Ben O'Keeffe 🏆🏆🏆
So it’s all about the pressure and mounting the pressure but you can’t measure the pressure….. sir jk at his finest 4:50
JK still riding the gear
SH teams (captains) showed more composure. Sexton screaming at ref and Du Pont throwing his hands in the air repeatedly doesn't help their cause.
don't know why I'm thinking a 7/1should be the plan to beat the English. it's the drop goals for me and key players in the English have been working hard throughout the pool games.
Mils is way of a better objective analyst than the two , the reason he seems to predict games better than them
The Boks just never lost their ultimate goal
Bloke in the middle seems like he don't want to be there lol
The ultimate final awaits. NZ VS BOKS
So, it was supposed to be an all-Horthern Hemisphere semi-final according to ... (well, you fill in the blanks). I guess some dreams are meant to be shattered. Not easy to eat humble pie.
"We knew there were only 2 teams that would come out of those groups NZ and SA" who and when? Almost everyone not from those 2 countries was saying If DuPont played France would win and most non NZ's already had the Irish winning. I think even your panel had France beating SA with the home crowd advantage.
JK is wiggling around like he needs to have a wee.
It was a type of game no one should have lost. I just feel the French could have won the game just as much. This is from a SA FAN
They had their chances but didn't take them. Pressure
