Guys why are NZ pundits like Jeff Wilson and the entire breakdown team so sour that they couldn't even say congratulations to the Boks yet our guys give yr boys so much respect..
I joked with a Kiwi colleague who takes his rugby VERY seriously that it’s about time they experience a period of not being the best (in a tongue in cheek way) … he was NOT happy, no sense of humour despite me acknowledging this Bok team isn’t as dominant as that amazing team from ~2015 … a lot of Kiwis have NO sense of humour or humility about rugby, they’ve been spoiled for decades being the best team 🤷♂️ Jeff Wilson is one of them
Tennis player Roger Federer is half South African...he was in his Springbok jersey at the world cup... so has roots in SA... seeing as comments mentioned some ppl u will know..
SA here... love your content. Thank you! Regarding the AB's I have an uncomfortable feeling that you guys are building. Can't keep the AB's down for long, looking forward to the challenge. Has to be good for rugby.
Andrew Mehrtens was born in Durban, South Africa, as his parents lived in South Africa for four years from 1970 and returned to New Zealand when he was still a young child
You guys joking around had more journalistic integrity than The Breakdown. Bro don’t defend them, surely they should at least mention the final of a competition that the ABs competed in. Much love from Cape Town.
Guys it’s not ‘oak’. It’s ‘oke’. And it just means ‘guy’. Or ‘bloke’. It doesn’t imply size as in the size of an oak. It’s an anglicised contraction of an Afrikaans word ‘outjie’, pronounced ‘okie’ which we just shorten to oke.
Amazing pod as usual, gents! I hope the Red Dog beers went down a treat. We are working on something big over here at 4 Paws and will definitely be back on Two Cents Gets Distracted when we are ready to announce it-hopefully very soon. In the meantime, the scientists are in the lab trying to create a Shitman for us to walk!
I think it’s hilarious that the Breakdown didn’t mention the Boks. Some of our supporters are embarrassingly desperate for validation. We won.. isn’t that enough?
@@tobolee6385 Exactly, if that. Bok is losing by 2 points, the current one beats that AB team. The All Blacks have not fallen off. Everyone else has gotten better.
An interesting thing: South Africa has the highest diversity of land-tortoises in the world. It has an entire biome( cape fynbos) inside its own country. It has 1 of only 2 true mountain ranges in Africa( the Drakensberg). South Africa has some of the most gold, diamonds, coal and platinum of any country in the world.
You guys must remember, Springboks have been inconsistent, but has been bloody good result-wise considering all the players rotated throughout the season and the rugby championship
To Mark’s comparison to the 2015 All Blacks, think about it like this, the 2015 AB team was in an era where they were miles better than everyone else. This bok side is in an era where Ire and Fra are in the top 5 and Scot is doing well as well. It is more competitive now and speaks to perhaps the Boks being a team that is better and more well rounded than the 2015 AB’s
Dave Matthews is from SA as well as Shaun Morgan (real name Shaun Welgemoed) from Seether is South African as well, originally called Saron Gas, which they had to rename when they got famous. Roger Federer's mom is also a South African.
the Guy who wrote LORD of The Rings is South African. Elon Musk, Mandela, Trevor Noah, Apartheid and the great forgiveness that followed (reconciliation), Table Mountain. once one of the 7 wonders of the world, 3rd greatest flower Kingdom in the world, The great cricket players.

For the first time in the history of rugby; a team are holders of back-to-back World Cups, the Lions Series, the Rugby Championship, the Freedom Cup and the Qatar Airways Cup at the same time The 2019 - 2024 Springboks are the greatest international rugby team of all time
Regardless of whether it's a NZ show, you need to at least congratulate/acknowledge the winner of the comp in which you participated and recap by showing the final log standings. We know they do this on purpose to avoid the subject. So much for "RESPECT" between NZ and SA. Seems like only SA has respect for their foe. All fake cliché shit from NZ.
Taylor SIner, Doja Cat (Dad is SAn), Lion King (Mbube -lion sleep), Wakanda (Wakanda language is Xhosa and Simba's father is SAn), Dr Bason (first heart transplant), First Country dismantle their Nuclear weapons
The game has changed and there are more teams that could be number 1… whereas in 2015 the only competition was probably 1 international team whereas today any of South Africa, Ireland , France, NZ, England, Argentina could win a RWC so that must be taken into when discussing this. Yes NZ was ahead of the game by far.
Cant compare imho. International rugby at that time, 2010-2015 was not remotely as competitive as 2024. But then, as saying goes, you can only play whats in front of you.
I have a Brakkie (Brak) - special breed. You might call him a pavement special. Got a little Chihuahua, a little Dachshund, Yorkshire Terrier and lot of Jelly Fish
With all respect and sincerity gents. It would be a much better watch without your low-brow, foul-mouthed “banter”. Mark has good, clean professional channel on his own. I kindly suggest that you clean it up on this one please. Old-school dad.
That’s a really good point about the breakdown. Isn’t the whole point of that show is to ^breakdown^ the rugby and the competition the All Blacks were in. Surely they could show the final table? Literally every show for the past 2 years all they ever talk about is who’s going to be the starting 15 & 23!!!
Winston Churchill was a POW in the Anglo Boere war and later founded the Green Barretts. He incorporated the tactics that was learned to be effective in the Boer war from both sides of that conflict.
Interesting chat guys, cheers! I agree that Rassie has the freedom and support to build depth in a way the NZ public won’t accept from an ABs coach. It’s a hindrance. I feel NZR needs to support a coach to mix it up more and play different combinations in a way that leads to better depth in all positions.
Good points Chay over Stevenson and Haveli over Plummer and no Hoskins def Crusaders club no doubt . People have forgotten that Razor wanted to see Haveli at first five . He made 2 metres the whole match and hasn’t been close to any form warranted to be called up . Thanks for the great show lads …..
Korg from Marvel, one of the best characters and that accent ... Go Taika Russel Crowe another from the same movie, that a lot of people think is Aussie, but he is a kiwi, and that movie has a host of antipideans. Talking about directors ... Peter Jackson. The stormy Cape, hence the Stormers, and one of the most dangerous coast lines for boats, going around the Cape of Good Hope. Also, a lot of people have think that Cape Point is the southerrn most point, but it is not ... name the southern most point of Africa. Best place in the world :) A lot of similarities between NZ and SA, some not so popular, but rugby the red thread. Always enjoyable watching Tony trying to show he does not care about us Saffas. He likes wine, so will love SA. So let us pool and send him some Bok gear
U Guys knw way more Famous SA's than Ur letting-on for instance U knw Drikus du Plesis aka DDP defended Ufc-Middleweight Title Against Ur Kiwi-Boy Adesanye as Tony spoke abt DDP a few weeks back on the Podcast....

Tony Brown is gonna be a huge part of getting the wrinkle DNA into our game. And I agree that it is tough for Bok fans that just want to see us moer opposition but I think getting some of the African creative athletic flair into our game is so important and am all along for this ride. Thanks for the shout out. Know it sucks to have to do. AB 2015is still the bench mark . Sure Razor will get to break dance at some point....really enjoy your pod and discussion on rugby
The main point about the Breakdown disaster was the fact that they just moved on from a TOURNAMENT altogether as if it was just a once-off ordinary test match. There’s no hype around TRC the same way NH have around 6N
I was really hoping that razor would be balanced with selections but the abundance of crusaders players is a bit concerning. Stevenson has been poor at super rugby though. He’s a turnstile on defence and he doesn’t have the same pace as other players. The only reason I think fihaki is there is because he’s very young and like Reuben love they see him as a long term prospect.
You are dead wrong saying that we're not there yet comparing us to the 2015 All Blacks. 2015 Wasnt nearly as competitive as the current year, So if you take that into account, i'd argue we're better
Minute 43 .. i said this before the all blacks are the all blacks... never to under estimated... a year from now your team will be settled and you will be taking names again ... setiti great your scrumhalves... backs always dangerous ...friszell and Moanga to come back ... best ... man then we have trouble
2011-2015 teams weren't as good as they are now, nz those days maybe had to worry about SA and aus but other than that no one was as good as they are now
Beauden is still one of the best players on earth and is a real threat... Jordan will be great just not against the Boks.. alittle bit like Lomu.. our defence will target him for what he did to us in first game of 2023

Only just beat the boks in 2015 in cup semi final ..by 2 points and they were losing.
