#springboks #walesrugby #rugbyunion
I was born in Pretoria. Living in Hamilton NZ at the moment. I support the Bulls, The Boks and the Chiefs! 3 huge games for me. I want to catch all 3 games. Im going to bed after the super rugby Final. Getting up at 1am for the other two games.
Haha that’s a great weekend for you!
Man by the time I get home from the Super Rugby final it'll be 10pm, probably upload something.... 10:30pm.... I don't think I'll get enough sleep between!
Gram of rack will solve your issue sir
Good on ya mate from a fellow chiefs supporter
@@shiroism8039- but the aim is to actually watch the rugby
Frans Malherbe was originally selected to start but asked Rassie to start Vincent Koch as it will be Koch's 50th cap
Frans is class
@@wlk2408don’t think that’s correct but it’s still a class move. If you come onto the pitch you get the same fee as someone who played the full 80
That's like parking the Rolls Royce and driving off in the Bentley
Hendrikse has a 96% tackle completion rate this season... phenomenal defender.
I read somewhere that Frans asked to be played off the bench in order for Vincent to start because it’s his 50 cap.
Ah that's makes sense aye, I seem to remember them doing something similar for another milestone appearance
Lood stepped back for Sous.
Swopping Malherbe for Koch is like putting down the rocket launcher and picking up the chaingun
Gosh man. Saffers could field 3 world class teams. Such depth!
I think that is Rassie Goal for these next few years. Build 3 teams that could win a world cup. This may be the first time in History that the Springboks could send a "Dream Team" to the world cup in 2027. We never had this depth before.
World Cup Final is SA A v SA C, Silver Medal to SA B in riveting match against NZ@@jadenphilander8799
Pity we can't send two teams! "B" team could top the right pool... 😂
So many players you don’t know what to do with them 😂.
@@jadenphilander8799I think you are right. After Chasing The Sun 2, I watched the first one and I was reminded of some of Rassie's moves. In 2019, he sent a team to Australia and a second one to NZ, in order to lessen the impact of traveling. We won the game in Aus and drew against NZ. I think this has been the Rassie plan all along, but COVID derailed it a little.
The one problem with having a full rotation is that that you need your starting fifteen plus your bomb squad.
The problem with having a bomb squad 6-2 or 7-1 split is that you need to have contingency plans available in the event of injuries and/or cards. And that means that you need a certain balance in the side - you need two powerful front rows for each side you have, you need a very tall nr7 to double as a lock, you need a nr6 that can double in the backline, you need a small winger that can do duty as scrumhalf, you need a utility back that can cover wing, centre, fly-half and fullback and you need a second kicking option.
These are not easy to come by.
I'm sure Mapimpi was about the same age as Edwill when he made his Bok debut in 2018.
Thanks 2cents rugby for a balanced look at the squads and the match itself. we could see some great trys hopefully
I'm not sure if this is true, but apparently Malherbe volunteered himself to the bench since it's Koch's 50th game!
It is in fact true, Rassie mentioned it in the Springbok press conference
True Story 👍 He was down to start, but went to Rassie and told him he wanted VK to start and not come off the bench as it was VK's 50th game. Rassie had no issue with Frans's request.
Jordan Hendrikse might be the future. The very first time he stepped in the spotlight for the lions was a super rugby game, 80th minute he replaces Elton to take a kick from the corner to win the game and slots it through as calm as can be. No moment seems too big for him. His tackling is really impressive, his kicking from hand is amazing and his kicking for poles can be amazing, especially when the Lion stopped playing musical chairs with their place kicker. He is surprisingly strong in contact on a quick crash and has good vision on attack. Very sad to see him leave to the sharks as a Lions fan.
Yeah really good all round player - solid, reliable for the most part - and still lots of potential
Jordan Hendrikse joined the Lions after the SR era. Gianni Lombard replaced Elton Jantjies in that game you are referring to.
Just glad hes a shark now lol
The boks need a good kicker to win knockout games.
Other than Polly we still ned someone that can perform in those clutch moments, only then will the dream be complete.
@@iea9677 You are completely right. Not sure if you saw Lombard miss a couple kicks in front of the poles recently, so I guess my brain thought it was impossible that it was him who won that game xD Nonetheless Jordan has shown he has a good boot.
This should be a really exciting and interesting game to watch.. as there are new caps on both sides. Bleeding new talent
I will not miss this!
Go Bokke!
Go Rassie ❤️🇿🇦
Yeah man some good opportunities for the newcomers!
Thanks Mr Two Cents, I so enjoy your shows and always admire your knowledge and opinions.
Yip it’s quite a lineup of Rassie and I’m sure he and his coaching team have put a big amount of thought and planning into this and in fact all the forthcoming tests.
Cheers mate, hopefully it's a good game (and no injuries)
Now both Hendrikse brothers will be Boks, would like to see them partner up. Roos will have to play out of his skin and don't give away penalties otherwise he'll down the pecking order.
Roos has been a lot better recently and to be fair, is only there because of a disciplinary headfart by the incumbent lol. As a long time Stormers fan, I don't think Roos will stay there very long, not because of his discipline, but simply because there are SO many good loosies in the mix and not everyone will make it. Think Hanekom from Bulls, Horn from Lions, Phepsi Buthelezi from Sharks, Juarno Augustus at Northhampton.... any one of them could make the squad and one or two of them would be suitable as captain as well.
Very exciting time for Bok fans but Rassie must live with a permanent headache.
Would not be surprised if Hanekom starts at 8 for the Loftus test because technically he already played the same forward pack in Leinster game and would fit perfectly in what Rassie wants from an 8.
Would be interesting to see how Hendrikse brother click if they both start a test at 9 and 10.
@@albertvanlingen7590 One of them will run to mommy cos the other one won't let him play with the ball 🤣🤣🤣
Good Man .. Regardsf from the Welsh in Costa Rica
As a proud Welsh man this game gives me a lot of nerves. Between missing a lot of quality players, because of Englands dumb rules about releasing players and missing a lot of players through injury this team has been decimated. Unlike the boks our strength in depth is minimal and only in certain positions.
I expect us to lose by at least 4 scores. Mainly from the boks pack winning many penalties via the scrum and probably from the maul also.
I would love to be proven wrong, but I doubt we will cause any major threat to the boks.
We are going to this one Mark. I just want to see some improvement from Wales. A little glimmer of hope. Gatland has a big job on his hands.
Hope you guys have a good trip mate - no matter the result
Despite what Riaan Louw says, Jordan Hendrikse is a Sharks man. (As of January 2025).
Interesting little anecdote: Apparently Frans Malherbe was slated to start the game, but when he heard it will be Vincent Koch's 50th Cap he declined the starting position in deference to Vinnie's milestone achievement.
Springboks are going to tear Wales apart 👊👊👊 I’m predicting at least 20 point margin win for Boks, that back line is electric ⚡️ and the forwards are power 💪
We are only as good as we are allowed to play. In saying that, I hope you are right.
THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS💚💚
Come on Wales you can do it ❤❤❤❤
Lol no they can't 😂
No theycant 😂
Boks by at least 20
@@frederikkrugerthey've done it 6 times in a row before now mind 😅
@@johndanter7834I believe it was four times in a row. But that was with the opposite what we have now - it was an experienced Welsh side against an inexperienced Bok side AND a dismal coaching/selection setup.
I must advise caution to my fellow countrymen though, Wales is not a side that I would ever write off. They are the one team in the world that can play our brand of rugby against us.
Factor in the long flight, factor in the fact that Gatland knows our players better than Rassie knows his and factor in that we're going from summer to winter, Wales might feel that they have a chance to pull off the upset.
Great to see u again. Enjoyed your podcast during the world cup.
Edwill van der Merwe is one of the fasted backs in URC. Very good winger.
Absolutely man, he's quality
Test then URC. URC final panel will probably mention the SA vs W match
Costelow , dont get it , NOT GOOD ENOUGH for international rugby , NEVER will be ..id say that 3 of the best performing players in Welsh rugby have been overlooked AGain ... Gats has a bee in his bonnet over those players
Don't know why Costelow and Elias keep getting picked. Every time I see them in the lineup, I hang my head. 😢
I'm Welsh.... we'll be very lucky to keep it even slighty close. If the Boks play even half as well as they did in RWC 2023, then it'll be a cricket score. Just being realistic. They're world champs and we're the worst we've been in a generation.
@Baz502 that's how comment sections work. Also it's not opinion, it's fact. Look at our record this year.
new captain is PSDT he will now change the whole teams power and mind set ...SA is on another level
Captain for the Wales match, he wasn't announced as official captain
That front row is fire! Happy for Malcolm Marx that he's back, but that mountain of man meat gives me nightmares!
Hope its less than 30 ..... dont think it will be....oh well we support them anyways....
Great Ben Jason Dixon finally rewarded...soon to be known as BJN.....SA always gonna be stronger, due to blacks now embracing the game..
Exited to see how South Africa build from the World cup. Never had that opportunity after the kast one so hopefully they can use that momentum to win more games. Inreally want them to win the Ireland series and win the rugby championship
Way I see it, the most important player in our entire squad was Frans Malherbe. Second most important player was Vincent Koch. Malherbe is 32 and Koch is 35 and by the next world cup, they'll be older than Os was in 2007. I.e. they might be able to stay fit, but you have to assume that an injury now can end their careers. So they are definitely not automatic picks for 2027.
So we have Wilco Louw from the Bulls and he is monstrous, but we need another tighthead as good as he is, in order to be able to field a bomb squad team.
This I beluevyis Rassie's biggest challenge
Great preview as always, thank you!
Good luck arranging your sleep schedule.
Boks should win. It will be very scrappy. Wales will be brave but not enough firepower unfortunately.
As a wales fan… we don’t have this… Wales need to start taking their selection choices seriously
Wishing you all the best for the game, Wales often gives the Boks problems
The Springboks never play well, when they are the favourites. I predict they will only start playing in the second halve, after a few choice words are spoken.
id say watch URC and delay boks whales. Cause feel boks whales is more a benchmark game/nothing burger.
How do the Springboks have such depth? What programs do they have going on in SA I wonder?
Toughen up! Sleep when you’re dead.
😂 harsh but fair
Henry Thomas is injured Assiratti starting and O’Connor on the bench
Don't You have a smart TV? Just set it to record games while you sleep.
I expect Wales to lose I just hope they play with a lot of pride. Great vid as usual.
Losing by only 19 or 23 points? I'll take that over a 40 plus point difference!
Boks will retain the Raeburn Shield
Seems south africa could of played Wales in Twickenham, Ireland at Loftus and new Zealand on their home grounds all this sayerday at the same time with all the dept. Next world cup sa pool a sa B pool b, sa C pool c .....😂
Someone once corrected me on my grammar for this particular part when commenting on RUclips. I thought I would pay it forward. It's "could have" and not "could of"... I had no idea before it was pointed out to me 🤷♂️
They will definitely reveal the result in the URC final commentary.
Yeah I'm pretty sure of that myself. Sometimes I can hear it coming and block my ears - but sometimes they'll just blurt it out
Based on recent performances, Boks by 1
Nice to see it's being shown on free to view TV in the UK.
Which channel?
what channel?
Thought it will be shown on Sky here in the UK?
I think its on BBC iPlayer
It's on Sky
How could you wear Wales kit????? Boo booo
I’m sad to be 🏴 what a disaster our WRU is, all our boys who play for English teams, French teams are completely removed from playing international. The boys are punished for earning more money in other clubs. The amount of talent left to play for other teams is ridiculous. And to top it off from the very few players we have, Gatland has a 25 cap rule alienating the remaining good players. Backwards! A once structured solid team in Wales is no more!!
EXCITING BACKS, BUT HENCE THEY WILL GET VERY LITTLE RUNNING BALL WITH FAF KICKING AND CRASH BALLS, ETC Springboks is graveyard for attacking running players, their game plan just does not allow expansive running. So will be to the forwards where they are far better than Wales, This score can be a Springbok win by more than 30.
Saffas looking ominous.
Just think, this is not a RWC final . So win or lose, does not matter 😂😂😂😂. Us Africans have 4 gold Kruger trophies
Looking forward to seeing the Boks play again, hopefully a win but a good match. Cheers for the previews Mark 👍🏾 oh and yay 🎉 Mapimpi is playing.
Sam Costelow has been seen limping in training, apparently there’s an assessment tomorrow and Ben Thomas could be at 10. Also to note - Eddie James has been recorded at 20.4mph running speed
Holy heka that's quick eh?
I thought Ben Thomas had taken a head knock and wouldn't play for a while?!?! Oh god we'll have no one left 😭
Roedd Costelow yn ofnadwy i ni yn y Chwe Gwlad eleni. Dyn ni'n well heb.
Thank God. Costelow really isn’t up to it.
For what it’s worth, 20.4mph is the speed of a decent 12 year old. There is NO way he’s that slow.
Can’t see anything other than a South African win, by at least 15. Also don’t overstretch yourself trying to watch everything live Mark, we appreciate your dedication but you’re only human.
That’s the worst Welsh team I’ve ever seen.
@@Baz502 haha I didn’t realise RUclips comments were by invitation only.
It is the worst Welsh team. No need to cry about it, I’m welsh. But if you think that Carter and Screech are going to hold up against the boks pack you are in for a rude awakening.
@@Baz502 I highly doubt that. But if they did miraculously they did win, happy days - I’m welsh
@baz502 you were saying?
Saffas look so strong. I think the commentators are going to need the record books, this could be really ugly. As for Wales, don't know why they don't pick more Ospreys players.
Watch the URC live. The springbok wales result shouldn’t be a surprise?? URC final can go anyway
Mark think you should sleep in and watch the URC final. Bok game can catch the highlights of. No offence to Wales but the URC final will be a much better contest in my mind. Great content as always
Ten different from WCup final, not in ;Kitshoff, Bongi, Malherbe, Siya, Vermeulen, Pollard, DeAllende, Cheslin, Arendse, Willie.
Due to injury and outside the Test Window.
Last week on SA Radio. Test Preview, "7 Wales locks,all injured". 6/7 will stand in.!!
Thank you for the review. Plenty action this weekend.
Cheers from Durban, South Africa 👏🙏
You can do what I from the USA - did for the 2019 RWC: become nocturnal.
Wales boys heading for a very physical encounter. SA by 15+.
Hard to see past a comfortable win for the Boks but looking forward to seeing this young Welsh squad push on. Yet another draft of new caps in there and the rebuild continues :)
Feel like we were watching different 6 nations. Cam winnett was a large talking point I feel like. He took so well to the test scene despite so few professional games and with great confidence and excellent counter attacking which will only improve with experience
I’d suggest you delay watching this one, catch up some sleep for full days viewing later. 👍🏻
Inexperience whalish team
When are you coming to SA 2c? We'd love to have you over here!
A braai and some Klippies, man one of these days!
He should come watch one of the All Blacks vs Springboks in Cape Town.
Much appreciation from South Africa 🎉🎉🎉
Hi mate, as a welsh living in nz do you have any tips on how I can watch?
This one is on Sky mate - they're kinda pricey but at least have a decent amount of rugby on
Without being rude but I dont think this wales team can win the Lions URC team even....
Gatland I think said something like he's willing to lose now if it'll pay off later.... hope he's right
I just realized that twickenham stadium is a home ground for springboks I don't think Wales will survive the onslaught this weekend they better ask the all blacks and England
slow you becoming more relevant then squidge rugby
I think you should watch the final live as the result is far less predictable!
Springboks will win well I reckon
They are a world class team imao
The Springboks are gonna grind Wales to dust!!
Getting rid of Costello would be a start at 10 the worst 10 ever
Do an all-nighter mate! We'll send coffee :-)
Complacency for the Boks wont auger well for them. They have to avoid being overconfident and treat the match against Wales with clinical and ruthless efficiency. I am looking forward to this game , just a pity the the Bulls game is being played at the same time. Who planned it that way?????
Boks at 3; Bulls at 6pm. Or am I reading the schedule wrong?
Is the super rugby final on friday?
Looking forward to some test rugby again!
Drink some klippies, go to sleep at 20h00, get 5 hours and wake up at 1am and just power through. Can take a late morning/afternoon nap later. That's how I'd do it.
I'll get at the Super Rugby final from 7pm and probably not get home till after 10pm.... still trying to work it out, lol
Malherbe is on the bench so that Koch can start on his 50th cap
If the Boks don't win this 40+ it should be considered a failure
Considering they haven’t played together for a few months, Marx has just come back from injury and some of them are having a debut without much training within the Boks style. I would only expect +20.
Be interesting to see how slick some of the new combos are - they'll not have had a lot of time together
A one point win is still a win. We were going to beat England in the QF by 30 points remember? Let's try stay as humble and grounded as our team.
@@Karma-qt4jifully agree. Some people get a bit too confident sometimes.
@@Karma-qt4ji I'm neutral, no need for false modesty
Sleep in, wake at 6: and watch the test first. Watch both delayed.
Sleep before rugby you reckon? Never thought of that!
I'd love to see a Boks 2nd and 3rd XV in the world cup
Both sides would finish 4th/bottom
Where’s the dedication at for watching all games 😂
I'll watch 'em, just maybe not all live 😅
Let's go 🏆🏆🏆🏆
thank you for you.
Thanks
Much appreciated mate! 🍻
Is Jasper wiese injured?
Suspended
Just stay up man 😂
Getting too old man 😂
As an Abs fan I hope they lose. Still salty.
Lol, I hear you brother. But as an SA fan, I still support you, even after the drubbings over the years, and that very painful 2015 semi final exit you gave us. We must keep our respect between us, it's the height of rugby rivalry. The 2 of us are tops. We have legacies to defend.
@superrainbow2893 Hahaha very very true. I hate to admit but I still very much respect you guys. Seeing the pride your player's have for rugby and doing it for South Africa makes myself emotional we don't have that level of mentality. I miss your teams in super rugby and hope the boks don't go to the six nations.
From a Highlanders fan in Dunedin!
@@connorsmith5924Sunny Dunedin! My favourite city in NZ by far.
Longer u cry the sweeter our victory is
As a South African in NZ, it was tough to watch the NZR doco the past few weeks - I’ve come to love NZ, Kiwi’s, the All Blacks and everything that comes with that (just not the timezone difference to the rest if the world). The final was bitter sweet for me. I felt for the all blacks and NZ in general. Please don’t mind the obnoxious and erratic saffas on social media - they certainly do not speak for the majority of us. Much love and respect 🙏
Skip the test, watch the URC. Test will likely be more straightforward and less dramatic. Happy Finals Saturday!
Jesus, Gats really needs to do one. His selection - despite the lack of the English based players - is batshit crazy.
