This Springbok team went on to win the 2009 Lions Tour, and then the tri-nations, beating the All Blacks three times. The 2007-2009 Springboks were special.
Eddie Jones was head coach for the South Africa defeat. It's why he ultimately got the boot. Borthwick took over a just few weeks before 6 Nations but had nothing to with England during the SA defeat.
Pienaar should have played 10 for the Boks for a decade. Hugely underrated player. Would love to have seen du Preez at 9, Pienaar at 10 and Steyn at 12 for a stretch.
He could have made an excellent 10. But in the 2007 I think he was not seen as a fly-half outside of emergencies. When 2008/9 rolled around, Morné Steyn made that position his and although Pienaar is the more dynamic player, we can't ignore the incredible kicking boot from Morne.
Come on people, all I can say is, keep supporting your respective teams..especially at this time, where the RWC 2023 is knocking on the door. Most teams have been going through changes and faced many difficult, internal issues, but the players need the support of their fellow countrymen. Yes, obviously couching staff play a massive role in a team's preparations for a world cup, but low morale and motivation is a killer for any teams. Based on talent alone, I think most of the top ranking teams have got the potential to win the 2023 cup. Look back at the upset caused by the Bokke loosing to Japan!! The Bokke went into the 2019 RWC as underdogs, but we won the trophy. A lot of teams might feel, and be considered as underdogs this year, but the trophy has never been as open, and up for grabs as this year. As a staunch Saffa, I will never rule out any country, and neither will I slag off, or belittle any team....but all I can say is, keep supporting your team, and be proud of them, they need it. I hope everyone will enjoy this world cup..its going to be an epic one. And in true sportsmanship, may the best team win, and raise that cup. Cheers.
Every big Nation has been in the doldrums. Well all apart from New Zealand, which have the odd patchy year where they still manage to get 66% win ratio. France has had 10 dreadful years and South Africa between 2016-2017 did not have it easy either. But going back to England... Eddie was not the problem.
New Zealand has been in the doldrums since it's establishment! Other than a bit of rugby what else have they got? The land of the long................. bore!
@@jackblack111 can never discard England and Australia from making the final... especially with their side of the draw.... Argentina could be a wild card as well... reckon will be a great world cup.
@@SignificantWines Doubt England will be ready and be a competitor based on current performance but hey anything can happen. I agree, this world cup will be one for the books.
Springboks played very conservatively in the final but were in control the whole game. That group stage game was more reflective of the divide between the two teams.
It's been the same story for years. England's forwards keep getting outmanouvred on the ground and in the breakdown. They either give away fouls or lose the ball. Thereafter, they waste good attacking posions or put the defence under huge pressure, which cracks. See the recent game against France for the latest example.
Good old classic hiding … England will never and have never been on the boks level or anywhere near it … they too soft and the physicality is overwhelming . Not even in the same universe . 4 time world champs 🏆🏆🏆🏆

I think we'll be fine - maybe not for the World Cup though, but still - they should have sacked Jones a year before they did - now we are paying the price for it. It happens to all teams at some point, even the might AB's.
How I miss this pattern from the boks. Playing the game at pace. Ball in hand. Now we are reduced to kicking the leather off the ball. Channel one runners of 9. Slowing our own ball down milking penalties. It's sacrilege
The English under Eddie changed that quite. We are the only country that is playing this way which does put us at the mercy of the other teams making mistakes and the referees.
@@brunodesbergesdarz Ahhh the ref hmmm!!! So how many RWC trophies are in your cabinet ? I'll help you there NONE ZERO NOTHING . You French bastards stole the hosting of the RWC 2023 away from South Africa and you will NOT be forgiven for that, I wish your team nothing but bad luck and misfortune.

@@SMacCuUladh Actually 4 years in a row 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007. But prior to this game England won the 2008 clash handsomely
At the same time our 7s team are the World Champs and Series Champs, only country to hold both in like 50 years
Frans Steyn in his early years was unstoppable. Boot, running, offloads, defence. He was crazy good.

He was a monster.
Should have played so many more games for SA. They messed him around and he told them to F off.

I was there that day, what a match! Best part was the pubs in Twickenham after the match, have to appreciate the English fans grace after the loss.
Pienaar should have played 10 for the Boks for a decade. Hugely underrated player.

I have been saying the same thing for years.
07:45 “Not one more. Please!” - Go back six years at that same venue. As Springbok fans how we felt during the second half of 53-3.
"Oh not one more please?"... priceless.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Truly remarkable. If SA has a flyhalf crisis at the RWC we can always call on Naas Botha. He is only 63.😅

Yes Frans on his way to 2024 RWC
So Steve Borthwick played in that record defeat and then managed England to their new record defeat? Impressive!
Love this Bok team🤩 They were Brutal.... Woould have been redcarded a few times if it was 2023

As a bonus, it shut up that Swing Low Sweet Smegging Chariot. Probably the most detested song in world Rugby.
I was at that game. Incredible. Cipriani was aweful and the Boks took him apart

At least they scored against France.

let's see
F. Dup's speed of service to the backs..
If this was played today, two top teams, and the points gap was so huge, the newspapers would be having a field day.
It wouldn't make the papers in England as football is the No.1 sport. The back pages of the papers is all football.
