Enjoyed the healthy banter with & from Nick Mallet, a former Springbok no. 8 and coach, with 17 consecutive wins for the Boks under his reign, 1997 - 2000 ;)
Nick was awesome, he actually mentored Jake White who was his video analyst at the time. Pity SARU kicked him out because he wanted the tickets and access to rugby cheeper so that poorer people which meant more black people would have access to the games. So sort sighted cause transformation is such a big issue in SA. What a legend, Nick Mallet !
Slight correction - Mallett had 16 consecutive wins. The Boks 17-win streak began with a 61-22 mauling of the Wallabies at Loftus Versfeld under Carel du Plessis
Respect to the Springboks from an All Blacks fan. Awesome game and good to see the quality of the Rugby Championship has improved. You guys are pushing us to fix the flaws in our game and improve.
South Africans are clear about the Springboks style of play. We have a certain style of play. We may switch it up sometimes. There's nothing confusing about that
The thing is School Boy And Varsity rugby encourages a running game in sa but the the Pro Level we always revert to a simple kicking game plan. Cheslin Kolbe was severely under appreciated here in SA until he could play his game in France. Then all of a sudden people In SA liked him when previously they were bashing him as a b grade Gio Aplon.
Couldn't agree more! I still maintain that Gio Aplon in his prime nudges Kolbe for talent. Will never forget watching him weave his magic week in, week out at a packed Newlands. We have the players to play an attractive game, just takes our national coach's being braver in their tactics and selection
@@kai_au6765 Your high school Rugby is very good too. The Cape schools that have very similar conditions to NZ and ironically make the bulk of our top rated teams. Although we pick on the traditional schools in terms of Rugby with Grey being the top on hard fast bouncy fields many of our undiscovered gems in terms of players are in the tier 2 and 3 schools - if scouts can pluck them consistently and selections don't favour the traditional schools it will change our dynamic.

Everyone wonders why they play crap against lower ranked teams, seems its only against the AB’s where they lift ( all teams do). Seems to me its held in such high regard to beat the All Blacks that its a badge of honour that all SA players want and whatever results of other games dont matter as the win means they can be feted and almost rest on their laurels after. Consistency has long been a hallmark of the All Blacks, 10 years at #1. SA celebrate a win over the AB’s but then seem to not care about the rest.Winning a game against the ABs seems a licence to give them slack for other teams even if they lose they can point at the 1 win and say but hey we beat the AB’s so its all good. Will SA get consistency? Who knows.
@@BhekiHlongwane-f8l Yes, SA were the deserved winner of the RWC final., and the Lions series. Regarding their consistency though, results have shown thats been the case over the years, Boks been very up and down, and have even had losses on a regular basis with SA’s northern tours. Will wait to see how they do this year in November. Congrats on your win last week by the way, it was a great game and to see SA finally decide to run it and it paid dividends. Let’s hope they don’t go back to the old “Bok ‘s DNA style” of previous week that SA was so strongly backed. Once they changed to a balanced open game they proved they can play well with ball in hand and don’t need to kick it away.
Mallet. Australia and NZ have better backs attack, but Boks have better scrum and maul attack. But, second game against Australia, they nullified the Boks maul attack. What I am saying is obvious, the major teams...the SH big three ARE working on excellence in all areas of the game. It will be fascinating where they will be by 2023.

Rassie Erusmus was appointed Springbok coach and started beating New Zealand in 2018 just by picking players and returning back to the style we know which is Skop , skiet and Donner. That means kick , shoot ( chase) and fuck up. Guess what, it worked .
Does two years ago not count as recent? Or a few mths ago against the Lions not either. The performances against the Aussies were merly just a speed bump. So, out of their last three important big wins, the WC final, The series against the Lions and the wins against the ABs, the AB win ranks third.

Nick - Didn't get your comment about our high schools needing to learn from the Boks. Grey College, Bishops, Queens College and many others have played an expansive game for their entire existence. Not too sure why you are saying they need to learn from the Boks from last Saturday. Its the other way around actually and our top teams lose skills from high school going through U20 because they become very conservative in their quest to grind out victories.
All the schools go for attacking and running rugby, agreed. Bishops in my day, not sure now, almost played like touch rugby on attack and they were well known for high high skill levels and pace on the game
@@garethtichauer5153 Bishops are still looking good. They beat Paul Roos this year and got quite a few national selections. Lots of content on RUclips on this year's team. Nextgen Rugga covers the boys in national selection.
@@garethtichauer5153 They still do. Maritzburg College took that same philosophy which is being about the team and school and not the individual. College even kept the same attire for every team. The first XV was not different to the U13E - same kit. College wear numbers now only because of TV games. Bishops don't. Check the games on RUclips. If memory serves me correctly Jonty Rhodes And Joel Stransky both played cricket at the same time for the College First XI. Butch James and Kevin Petersen may have too played together quite a few years later too. Hansie Cronje and Pieter Muller both played together at Grey in both the First XV and XI too I think.
Sa schoolboy rugby is mega strong and they have excellent skills, not sure why this never gets through to the national side. For years our schools have been decimating kiwi opposition. Some recent results. World Schools Festival Results. Isn't christchurch boys the top rugby school in NZ? Day 2, 27 March 2019 Boland Landbou vs Napier Boys’ High School, 30-25 Grey College vs Christchurch Boys’ High School, 73-26 Paul Roos vs Southland Boys’ High School, 93-5
I don't get why South African teams aren't acknowledged to have the same skill set as Kiwi teams. Plenty of skills on display at schoolboy level, There have been any number of skilfull , tactically astute Bok players at Super Level. When we started playing South African teams on a regular basis at Super Rugby level I was sure it would only be a matter of time before they caught up with our skill and fitness level and their sheer size would give them an advantage. Our kids start playing at 5 years old but many players start later.. Do South African kids start later?? Even in our junior grades a lot of the players selections are tilted towards size matters the theory being you can't teach size but you can teach skills. But still a place for the Duncan Mckenzies..
Our kids start playing in primary school at grade 1.. 6 yrs old. But without tackling. More like touch rugby. To avoid injuries. My missus is a school teacher and I get to watch the little guys play. The only negative is the bloody parents. Absolute pains in the arse. The kids just want have fun without been yelled at. Much easier coaching in an orphanage.
@@mikespencer4922 same here for first 2 years they play tag footy so no tackle just pull the tags off the side of the shorts. Then tackle from about 8 years old.
@@hapeta24 great idea. Tags held on with velcro???? I must pass this idea on to our kiddie coach. Big thanks Hapeta. By the way.... I spent 7 months in NZ last year... absolutely love you country.
The problem with SA style of play is that is is TOO predictable. If it will ALWAYS go that way (kicking) then the physicality can be counteracted by having more players there in defence. There has to be variation in the SA attack game to keep defending players undecided as to their positioning in defence. You cannot cover every position/location on defence, but if the opposing team is utterly predictable, you KNOW where the attack will be you can cover it. When the Boks varied their attack, the ABs had a tough time adjusting the defence.
Exactly and thats what happened this past Saturday, NZ were dropping the 3 outside backs deep for the kick and that opened up space for the Boks to attack more. This needs to happen and very more often to get that more well rounded game. I do believe we have missed Cheslin Kolbe massively and the completely out of form Willie le Roux who is usually so important to our counter attacking has not helped either. But yes i agree from the start of the B&I Lions series till the 1st test against NZ we were just to robotic and 1 dimensional. Lastly with the end of year tour coming up, i really really want to see Aphelele Fassi play at least 2 of the 3 tests at fullback, this kid has huge huge potential to be s superstar up there with Chslin
Surely by now, these guys should know that Nienaber sent the waterboy to ask about the 50-22? Nienaber himself said so in the press conference _right after the game_ , and said he had misunderstood the rule and sent the waterboy to query it.
yeah I'm a bit dissapointed world rugby didn't fine sa rugby or something because that waterboy was verbally abusing that ref and that's not ok. just because you think the rules should've been something else
@@georgemeyer850 How do you know he was "verbally abusing" him? What did he say? Looked to me like he was trying to get the guy's attention about the call for the 50-22.

Refreshingly honest opinion from Mallett - the Springboks have a better set piece than the NZ and Aus teams but also less skills. Overall, I feel that the Springboks are more reliant on the referees who may reward them for their dominance during a game. In contrast, the counter-attacking teams aren't as influenced by the varying degrees of a referee's assertiveness. These are all factors which make a game of rugby less predictable.
@@increasepeace4996 it was said with a bit of banter in mind... i wont deny nz has had our number but since the beating nz gave us in 2017 6 of the last 7 games has ended within 2 pts including a draw, which would suggest the boks have managed to close the gap to nz a bit.
@@tiaancloete5133 I think we have overtaken them. Springboks have more depth now. Springboks have two world class tight 5s with experience. I wouldn't be surprised if the Springboks win both games in 2022.
If you want South African DNA look at the amazing skills and backline moves of any of the top SA school rugby games. This nonsense about domkrag being the SA DNA is rubbish. Yes, your forwards need to earn the right to go wide, as always, and in any team.
Every player has a number, indicating what his function is. Props are there to scrum, locks to jump in lineouts, and so it continues up to number 15. If every player does what is expected of him in that position, the team wins the game. Wingers are not supposed to scrum, and locks are not supposed to run, period.
@@dirkfolscher3001 All players as professional rugby players are supposed to be able to catch and pass. It annoys the shit out of me when the scrumhalf is caught in a ruck and the flankers/winger cannot pass from the ruck. It's honestly not that difficult if you know the right technique. Also the benefit of having big locks and props is NOT to run over people, but to be able to pass out of the tackle more easier. SA players never seem to realise this.
@@mikezog1030 Nah, you need to run over people sometimes, if you can manage to physically(and mentally) impose your will on the opponent, that's already one step towards victory.
Good comments by NM, straight talker. But comment about the good refereeing is mealie....the ref almost ruined the game....if the players start hitting out at each other usually the ref is to blame for allowing/ being blind for continuous and deliberate infringements....both sides!
WHY!!!??? WHY do the antipodean teams have more skill? WHY is this rubbish allowed to propagate and become truth? SA has massively skilled players - they just get kicked to the curb in favour of big players. The Blitzboks have HUGE skill. They just decided that smaller, faster, more skilled players are better and went that way instead of trying to run over backlines. And look how it worked for them...
@@christoduplessis8177 I am not saying to abandon forward dominance. Just that we need to arm ourselves with other weapons besides maul and lineouts and scrums. We easily have the talent in SA for attacking prowess like the ABs, but for some reason this is simply not developed.
"DON'T WORRY SPRINGBOKS UNITED RUGBY TEAMS IN DAH NORTHERN HEMISPHERE"!!..like "COMING THROUGH SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS SYSTEM GOT PROFESSIONAL TEAMS 2 PLAY 4 HOMIE YUH"!!..
Yea no brain no pain PLUS FOUR WORLD CUPS BACK TO BACK WITH A 50% STRIKE RATE and what made the fourth win sweet was that it was against the old foe in fact two victories against em and two against the POMS.
8 subs is a joke how long will it be before new Zealand do the same thing and have to big forward backs that are not fit enough to play 80 minutes of rugby and they change them over at half time. Rugby was never meant to be American football.
South Africans attitude of current have destroyed a once formidable force in rugby. South Africa ,Australia and New Zealand used to play open running rugby which only the New Zealand team is still adopting while South Africa have turned to a more physical application. They should be greatful for a referee that gave them great help by allowing the slowing down of the play. South Africans seems to enjoy every win of late as if ,they are the newbies of world rugby. I didn't watch the game. It just seemed predictable now a days but surprised with the outcome eventually. Congratulations South Africa. May the next be allowed to flow without the unnecessary stoppages.
Most international teams have used injury breaks lineouts and scrums to slow down the game against All Blacks so hardly worth while bitching about the Boks. Blame the ref and the rules for letting it happen.
How can you comment about the ref and south africa slowing the game if you didn't even watch it? Nz were the ones trying to slow it down in the second half cause they were flustered at how quick the boks were playing. Go watch the game then we'lll talk
@@Will-ej9qv ,hey ,I watched commentaries on the news ,just enough for me to asses . South Africans has taken the win like a spoilt child as if they have killed the giant of rugby. This attitude has killed South African rugby. They don't improvise for the future like the AB ,they keep using their old players for the sake of winning. The AB will never be beaten by Japan and not because that they are good ,it is because ,any game is just as good as the next to the AB and they do also play to a standard,lol!
@Go on have some the all blacks still championship winners I don't know why the books supporters go on like this they didn't even win the championship silly
This style of Rugby is closer to American Football to me - they have a lot of breaks and they use their weight a lot and kicking is important - so why don't South Africa play Gridiron and stop trying to change rugby
They are playing within the current rules , also nothing like a game of American Football, its the rule makers who are fiddling with the rules not the teams . They are just making the most of what is there.
It's never dead rubber when these two teams play.... test in cape town 2017 comes to mind. After we got hammered 57/0 in Nz and then lost 25-24 in the cape town game. Nz didn't want to loose that game either.
@@twoface_janusand what style did he contribute to the springboks ? Hard headedness ? By the way the conversation was about our DNA as a rugby team and Nick tried to change it . My opinion : even a kak coach with one of the best captain Teichman will be able to win . Nick had the most dominant players in he's Era look at the score and could've been a real Golden Era for the springbucks but dominating the tri nation and losing to Australia 🇦🇺 who won the world cup so the lacking of a great coach and the springbuck DNA is there .
He was not spectacular but along with Jake white was certainly way better than most of the other fellows we had- guys like harry viljoen, carel du plessis (although a fantastic player), Rudolf straueli and Alistair coetzee were pretty much clowns compared to him
What a BS remark. Nick Mallett is one of the very best. Ever heard of Pieter de Villiers, Harry Viljoen, Rudolph Straueli and especially Allistair Coetzee?
Boks celebrate one victory but the ABS continue To have 60% victories vs boks. On the last 11 matches between the both..only 2 lost by the ABS. Looser only celebrate this match.
@@carravaggiomikelson870 ABS also 3 world cup and won vs BIL like in 2005..But the ABS have more rugby championship trophies. The ABS dominate you.. with 60 % victories vs your springbocks. And many victories by trashing. Your boks lost 4 matches this year and 2 times smashed by the poor aussies. So shuuut.up
Boks should have won the previous one too. ABs not as good as the used to be. Only a few lucky calls from the wistle kept them alive in the last quater. Boks could easily have scored another 17 points if they got the rub of the green.
@@Will-ej9qv no the rugby game was a bad game too many penalties im a all black fan but i didnt care we lost jist thought whoever was behind at 80 would getva kick 4 the win

@@bunnychowmuncher I recall they used to play without numbers, as that was part of their philosophy. All players with ball in hand
@@garethtichauer5153 They still do. Maritzburg College took that same philosophy which is being about the team and school and not the individual. College even kept the same attire for every team. The first XV was not different to the U13E - same kit. College wear numbers now only because of TV games. Bishops don't. Check the games on RUclips.
If memory serves me correctly Jonty Rhodes And Joel Stransky both played cricket at the same time for the College First XI. Butch James and Kevin Petersen may have too played together quite a few years later too.
Hansie Cronje and Pieter Muller both played together at Grey in both the First XV and XI too I think.
Sa schoolboy rugby is mega strong and they have excellent skills, not sure why this never gets through to the national side. For years our schools have been decimating kiwi opposition. Some recent results. World Schools Festival Results. Isn't christchurch boys the top rugby school in NZ?

Love you Nick!
I don't get why South African teams aren't acknowledged to have the same skill set as Kiwi teams. Plenty of skills on display at schoolboy level, There have been any number of skilfull , tactically astute Bok players at Super Level. When we started playing South African teams on a regular basis at Super Rugby level I was sure it would only be a matter of time before they caught up with our skill and fitness level and their sheer size would give them an advantage. Our kids start playing at 5 years old but many players start later.. Do South African kids start later?? Even in our junior grades a lot of the players selections are tilted towards size matters the theory being you can't teach size but you can teach skills. But still a place for the Duncan Mckenzies..
You can change size (and shape) to a certain degree through diet. But you aren't going to turn Faf into RG Snyman.
Our kids start playing in primary school at grade 1..
6 yrs old. But without tackling. More like touch rugby. To avoid injuries. My missus is a school teacher and I get to watch the little guys play. The only negative is the bloody parents. Absolute pains in the arse. The kids just want have fun without been yelled at. Much easier coaching in an orphanage.
@@mikespencer4922 same here for first 2 years they play tag footy so no tackle just pull the tags off the side of the shorts. Then tackle from about 8 years old.
@@hapeta24 great idea. Tags held on with velcro???? I must pass this idea on to our kiddie coach. Big thanks Hapeta. By the way.... I spent 7 months in NZ last year... absolutely love you country.
Oi! What is the answer to the Quiz questioN! Naas Botha?
The problem with SA style of play is that is is TOO predictable. If it will ALWAYS go that way (kicking) then the physicality can be counteracted by having more players there in defence. There has to be variation in the SA attack game to keep defending players undecided as to their positioning in defence. You cannot cover every position/location on defence, but if the opposing team is utterly predictable, you KNOW where the attack will be you can cover it. When the Boks varied their attack, the ABs had a tough time adjusting the defence.
Exactly and thats what happened this past Saturday, NZ were dropping the 3 outside backs deep for the kick and that opened up space for the Boks to attack more. This needs to happen and very more often to get that more well rounded game. I do believe we have missed Cheslin Kolbe massively and the completely out of form Willie le Roux who is usually so important to our counter attacking has not helped either.
But yes i agree from the start of the B&I Lions series till the 1st test against NZ we were just to robotic and 1 dimensional.
Lastly with the end of year tour coming up, i really really want to see Aphelele Fassi play at least 2 of the 3 tests at fullback, this kid has huge huge potential to be s superstar up there with Chslin
Surely by now, these guys should know that Nienaber sent the waterboy to ask about the 50-22? Nienaber himself said so in the press conference _right after the game_ , and said he had misunderstood the rule and sent the waterboy to query it.
yeah I'm a bit dissapointed world rugby didn't fine sa rugby or something because that waterboy was verbally abusing that ref and that's not ok. just because you think the rules should've been something else
@@georgemeyer850 How do you know he was "verbally abusing" him? What did he say? Looked to me like he was trying to get the guy's attention about the call for the 50-22.
Exactly why I hate it when some genius at WR decides to trial some adopted rule from rugby league, I don't blame Nienaber for his confusion over something ripped off from the 40-20 rule.
@@interestedbystander196 youre not even aloud to do just that. go and influence a ref to make a decision thats in youre favour. you look at him when he does it. he gets in the refs face and starts shouting because hed not getting what he wants..disgraceful

Wish Sky TV NZ had commentators with the experience and acuity of a Nick Mallet. I would watch Super Sport presentations any day now over Sky NZ
Mallett by name, Mallett by head.
Poor people think about what they can buy with their money, Rich people think about what they can invest in with their money 💰💰💰;
The rich stay rich by investing and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the
Rich but yet not investing like the rich
Investing is a stepping stone to success, investing is what create wealth.
Recently,I invested in both stock and Crypto but currently I believe crypto is doing more better !!
The best thing to do in this period is to invest in silver and crypto
The rich become richer by spending like the poor and investing None stop, While the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not making any investment
That looks like a nice rugby show.
Refreshingly honest opinion from Mallett - the Springboks have a better set piece than the NZ and Aus teams but also less skills. Overall, I feel that the Springboks are more reliant on the referees who may reward them for their dominance during a game. In contrast, the counter-attacking teams aren't as influenced by the varying degrees of a referee's assertiveness. These are all factors which make a game of rugby less predictable.
go away
who ever you support, I hope the Bokke smash them next they meet.
Interesting to note that Nz had ore kicking metres then the boks... and 1 kick more to their tally...
All this kicking by NZ is ruining rugby! :P
@@TheOuboet For sure man they claim to play a enterprising running game of rugby how dare they kick position away like that 😜
@@tiaancloete5133 we do play enterprising rugby. That's why the Boks have only won two games from the past twelve against the ABs 🤣
@@increasepeace4996 it was said with a bit of banter in mind... i wont deny nz has had our number but since the beating nz gave us in 2017 6 of the last 7 games has ended within 2 pts including a draw, which would suggest the boks have managed to close the gap to nz a bit.
@@tiaancloete5133 I think we have overtaken them. Springboks have more depth now. Springboks have two world class tight 5s with experience. I wouldn't be surprised if the Springboks win both games in 2022.

If you want South African DNA look at the amazing skills and backline moves of any of the top SA school rugby games. This nonsense about domkrag being the SA DNA is rubbish. Yes, your forwards need to earn the right to go wide, as always, and in any team.
Agreed. i think we have some of the best runners in the world, we are just not using them
Amen!!
Every player has a number, indicating what his function is. Props are there to scrum, locks to jump in lineouts, and so it continues up to number 15. If every player does what is expected of him in that position, the team wins the game. Wingers are not supposed to scrum, and locks are not supposed to run, period.
@@dirkfolscher3001 All players as professional rugby players are supposed to be able to catch and pass. It annoys the shit out of me when the scrumhalf is caught in a ruck and the flankers/winger cannot pass from the ruck. It's honestly not that difficult if you know the right technique. Also the benefit of having big locks and props is NOT to run over people, but to be able to pass out of the tackle more easier. SA players never seem to realise this.
@@mikezog1030 Nah, you need to run over people sometimes, if you can manage to physically(and mentally) impose your will on the opponent, that's already one step towards victory.
Jannie De Beer? Or was that against England?
It was against England, all I can think of can be Naas Botha
Percy Momtgomery with three, Jannie de Beer, plenty has two.
Jannie the most in total. But dont know against NZ. My Guess Jannie.
Good comments by NM, straight talker. But comment about the good refereeing is mealie....the ref almost ruined the game....if the players start hitting out at each other usually the ref is to blame for allowing/ being blind for continuous and deliberate infringements....both sides!
Who kicked the most dropgoals against NZ?
Can be either Colin Beck, Naas Botha, Jannie de Beer.
I think it might be further back in time like Gerald Bosch.
Answer is…Percy Montgomery
WHY!!!??? WHY do the antipodean teams have more skill? WHY is this rubbish allowed to propagate and become truth? SA has massively skilled players - they just get kicked to the curb in favour of big players. The Blitzboks have HUGE skill. They just decided that smaller, faster, more skilled players are better and went that way instead of trying to run over backlines. And look how it worked for them...
You know we are current World Champs and ranked 1st in the world for 15s whilst the 7s got 5th at the Olympics 😉
@@christoduplessis8177 I am not saying to abandon forward dominance. Just that we need to arm ourselves with other weapons besides maul and lineouts and scrums. We easily have the talent in SA for attacking prowess like the ABs, but for some reason this is simply not developed.
@@mikezog1030 I know, was just giving you some stick but agree with your point!
"DON'T WORRY SPRINGBOKS UNITED RUGBY TEAMS IN DAH NORTHERN HEMISPHERE"!!..like "COMING THROUGH SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS SYSTEM GOT PROFESSIONAL TEAMS 2 PLAY 4 HOMIE YUH"!!..
South Africans love the physicality of Rugby, must be because of the NO BRAIN, NO PAIN.
Yea no brain no pain PLUS FOUR WORLD CUPS BACK TO BACK WITH A 50% STRIKE RATE and what made the fourth win sweet was that it was against the old foe in fact two victories against em and two against the POMS.
What was the answer to Mallet's question? Jannie De Beer perhaps
Think people would want to say Naas Botha but I have a sneaky suspicion it is Morne Steyn...
I really disagree strongly. I think we play a good mix of physicality skills. and it is the othr teams do not have a good mix.
Only game plan is the one that wins mallet missed out of a world cup buy dropping tychman, so is he the best. Stop following the all blacks plan
Can't believe Nick said the game was Well refereed 🥴
8 subs is a joke how long will it be before new Zealand do the same thing and have to big forward backs that are not fit enough to play 80 minutes of rugby and they change them over at half time. Rugby was never meant to be American football.
That's the name of the game son, victory obtained by being strategic and following the rules. Rugby is a game of strategy after all

Trivial question Jannie De Beer
South Africans attitude of current have destroyed a once formidable force in rugby.
South Africa ,Australia and New Zealand used to play open running rugby which only the New Zealand team is still adopting while South Africa have turned to a more physical application.
They should be greatful for a referee that gave them great help by allowing the slowing down of the play.
South Africans seems to enjoy every win of late as if ,they are the newbies of world rugby.
I didn't watch the game.
It just seemed predictable now a days but surprised with the outcome eventually.
Congratulations South Africa.
May the next be allowed to flow without the unnecessary stoppages.
Most international teams have used injury breaks lineouts and scrums to slow down the game against All Blacks so hardly worth while bitching about the Boks. Blame the ref and the rules for letting it happen.
How can you comment about the ref and south africa slowing the game if you didn't even watch it? Nz were the ones trying to slow it down in the second half cause they were flustered at how quick the boks were playing. Go watch the game then we'lll talk
@@Will-ej9qv LOL that is definitely not what happened.
@@Will-ej9qv ,hey ,I watched commentaries on the news ,just enough for me to asses .
South Africans has taken the win like a spoilt child as if they have killed the giant of rugby. This attitude has killed South African rugby.

The AB will never be beaten by Japan and not because that they are good ,it is because ,any game is just as good as the next to the AB and they do also play to a standard,lol!

To tell you the truth, South Africa isn't concerned about Australia; we don't train for them; our number one opponent is New Zealand.
@@walterlebzax9585 yeah that sounds like a bs excuse.
This style of Rugby is closer to American Football to me - they have a lot of breaks and they use their weight a lot and kicking is important - so why don't South Africa play Gridiron and stop trying to change rugby
They are playing within the current rules , also nothing like a game of American Football, its the rule makers who are fiddling with the rules not the teams . They are just making the most of what is there.

Dead Rubber game for the ABs, Springboks fighting for everything in this match
It's never dead rubber when these two teams play.... test in cape town 2017 comes to mind. After we got hammered 57/0 in Nz and then lost 25-24 in the cape town game. Nz didn't want to loose that game either.
0 cents Rugby, you obviously don't appreciate the magnitude of an All Black v Bokke test match mate
You could not choose a worst South African coach to speak to.
Oh absolute rubbish. He had 17 consecutive wins.
@@twoface_janusand what style did he contribute to the springboks ? Hard headedness ?
By the way the conversation was about our DNA as a rugby team and Nick tried to change it . My opinion : even a kak coach with one of the best captain Teichman will be able to win .
Nick had the most dominant players in he's Era look at the score and could've been a real Golden Era for the springbucks but dominating the tri nation and losing to Australia 🇦🇺 who won the world cup so the lacking of a great coach and the springbuck DNA is there .
Wow, what a poisonous little comment Jonathan Hayward. Mallet is a national treasure mate
He was not spectacular but along with Jake white was certainly way better than most of the other fellows we had- guys like harry viljoen, carel du plessis (although a fantastic player), Rudolf straueli and Alistair coetzee were pretty much clowns compared to him
What a BS remark. Nick Mallett is one of the very best. Ever heard of Pieter de Villiers, Harry Viljoen, Rudolph Straueli and especially Allistair Coetzee?
