This is by far the best rugby match ever played. Even people who never watched rugby will be engaged from beginning to end.
Like me
This is a very awkward opinion, because only one team tried really to produce something, whereas the other one was sometimes "rotting" the attacks of the other and scored a stunning amount of points just by benefiting of silly errors. During the 2nd half, the game was too much "closed".
The real best game of this world cup was Ireland vs NZ : a bloody suspense too, pleasant attacking sequences from both sides, good passages of play from 1st to 80th (85th) minute, and above all, a consistent refering in the rucks.
How is this the best rugby game ever? Boks just punished France for their mistakes
@@fredericgillot1976Nailed it. Couldn't agree more.
All try's are scored through opposition errors 😂🤣😂@@fredericgillot1976
First 40 minutes might be the best half of rugby we will ever see in a World Cup. Great advert for the game!
You know the match was incredible when you realise halfway through the video that it wasn’t the highlights but the full game 😅😂
I totally agree 😅
That slap back by Etzebeth was a seriously phenomenal play. His physicality is obvious but he doesn't get nearly enough credit for his game sense. The guy's rugby IQ is off the charts.
Cant get over how perfectly the kick from Jesse sets up for Kolbe 😮💨😮💨🔥
It was beautiful 👏. It shows how in control South Africa was during that game. France tried their best, but the Springboks were streaks ahead.
@@clibo1 Won by 1 point and streaks ahead?
@@DazBag78I meant by gameplay speed and impact. The Springboks just outplayed France, the 1 point difference does not tell the full story. They needed to be streaks ahead to win in France. Streaks ahead can mean just to be more successful.
@@clibo1 The Boks play Conservative low risk rugby
@@DazBag78 typically yes, but not as much as defensively in this game. This was a deliberate, fast pace method against this French team. Libbok attack, then Pollard defence.
I’ve never seen a single rugby game ever and I have absolutely no idea what was going on in this video but I was entertained
Welcome to the club, I mean chaos....or whatever! Just enjoy the stuff....
Watching this is just pure pain. I know it was one of the best rugby match every played but as a french this bring me back to the abyssal state of sadness I was at the end. I hope we will get this good again..
I wouldn't be too upset about it. Spingbok player names are 40% French, so it's a little bit like playing your efrican cousins. Players like Eben Etzebeth, Peiter Steph du Toit, de Allende, le Roux, theres even a Frans and a Franco lol
I was technically neutral to this game, but this french team has been my true rugby love the past four years. I couldn't speak for the rest of the night after the loss. All I can say is to keep the hunger alive, your greatest players are all young and won't be going anywhere. Considering where you guys were just four years ago winning this world cup was a real high goal, 2027 is a way more realistic. I really do believe that the next world cup is yours.
Yeah, I remember how you guys went crazy on social media crucifying the ref. Accusing the Boks of somehow cheating too. Very painful
@@uthikoloshe By that logic maybe you should mention all the African athletes you frogs have bought for your rugby and football teams...
It could have gone either way, honestly. France were amazing!
36:42 has got to be one of the most legendary moments in rugby history - calling the scrum on the mark. Thanks for including it on this video.
Beating DuPont at his own loophole!!! Unrivalled thinking from Rassie and the team, simply no other team was smart enough
@@pauljansen6650Or maybe brave enough, there's a reason scrums or not commonly done this way usually only via penalties (other than the obvious knock on). It tires players out, going from cardio workout to strength training is really effective in tiring a team out, look at how tired the French were especially that substitute prop who lost the ball in that last play. He was so gassed he did'nt even want the ball, he pointed to his teamate. Compare this game to the previous SA-Fr with no scrums, yeah scrums really gave us a bit of a extra edge I reckon.
Genius move the Springbok team
1:21:42 this is an illegal steal and illegal win
@@damienbothma9737 yet it can't be checked by TMO as it doesn't result in a try nor is it foul play. In some cases referees make mistakes but TMO can not be relied on for every detail or the game would be a farce. Accept the result and move on
This WC was special! The match ups, finals worthy games being played in the group stages, then the knock outs! The best rugby ive ever seen. God willing i will be around to watch the next onel
Amen Brother
Worst example of a host nation booing when SA scored. That's why they lost
The Best Rugby game ever played by the Mighty Springboks of SA. I AM an Aussie, but the Boks suprise me all the time.
We look forward to seeing Aussie rugby grow strong again
@@makeperceive It won't unless something changes (yes everybody keeps saying that) and as a Kiwi I do hope Australian rugby doesn't die
We played really well, but I think we played better in the final.
This game never gets old. It will go down as all time classic. Well done to South Africa and France for an epic duel.

As a Bok supporter, I have huge respect for Dupont. He placed the boks under tremendous pressure. What a legend!
As a French supporter it's frustrating to have such a nicely built-up side, maybe the best french side so far, and still seeing them fall short. No disrespect to the other top 4 teams but I think this was the real RWC final, and it happened way too early in the competition. I question myself : why should the RWC draw take place 2 years prior to the event ? With a totally different WR ranking ? It had us see the top 4 teams in 2 groups, and led us to a really bizarre QF draw. (WAL v ARG ? Really ?)
Just like the french football team built on the euro 2016 final loss, I believe Galthié, Dupont, Alldritt and the u20RWC champs coming up will raise the bar even more and build a French Rugby Legacy like never before. We have a great squad coming and one day it will be us.
It is the best French team in my lifetime, and at a time where NZ are slightly off their best they just ran into unfortunately the best Bok side of my lifetime. Realistically I think SA were the only team that could have beat you in the WC, maybe Ireland as well but it would have to have been a very lucky day for them (as it was for us in some ways).
It should have been the final, what an unbelievable match, and of all the NH teams I would have been happiest for France to win it if it wasn't us. This is a young team as well, so hopefully they bounce back. But I also hope we can do 3 in a row in 2027!
This match made me appreciate Kriel and de Allende.
💯 Kriel is criminally underrated.
especially their elbows

I love rewatching this game, full or highlights. It literally had everything. Willemse calling for a scrum off that mark is one of the greatest calls in the game...only one team in the world can do that in such a pressure cooker game 🇿🇦
Im on 20 for highlights, and probably 30 times for the full match
Watched the full match again.
What a game.
What a come back.

This is not really a comeback. THE comeback was England-Scotland in 2019.
@fredericgillot1976 Yeah a game that England didn't care about vs a game France cared about
Get you some son...
The Englishmen didn’t care about it because they are Englishmen (and pretentious). No team of the 6N should neglect a game of the tournament.

Fist thing you learn in SA rugby is never to boo.
They had all right to be pissed off with that hand on the ground. Cost em a world cup
@@grat12courge39 be careful, I can show you 25 plus decisions that should have gone the Boks way. So sit down boy.
Fascinating how SA exposed the French under the high ball twice in the first half both times resulting in tries. Such contestable 50/50 kicks had to be dealt with better by ideally the fullback or the French left winger. SA’s 3rd try to Kolbie also resulted from pressure creating a turnover and brilliant awareness of space by Jesse Kriel.
That first half will always be special, the scoreboard pressure was insane from the onset.
This match was beautiful to watch,it had everything strategic,tactical and skillful from both sides.

Greatest rugby match of all time. The greatest advertisement for rugby 💪🏾
For real. Also, All Blacks v Ireland the day before. Rugby doesn't get better than that.
One team fed off the mistakes of the team creating chances. They don't even bother trying to create tries anymore.
Ireland v All Blacks was two attacking teams attacking.
Lol, not at all. Watch Ireland vs NZ, or Fiji's or Portugal's games to have a real promotion of pleasant rugby.
@@fredericgillot1976 Portugal's games? As the best ever games?
@@SoCalDreaming87 No, as advertisement for rugby ! They play some lovely movements and actions.
Anyway, the "best game of all time" is always a personal opinion, but objectively it cannot be this quarterfinal.
I am South African, and, in this game, I understood why Antoine Dupont was player of the year. If South Africa did not win this game, I personally think France would have won the world cup.
I agree.
It is why the referee made you win. France winning world Cup must not happen.
@@olivieru Winning the 2019 world cup in Japan almost everyone was rooting for South Africa to win but not everyone supports a 3rd world country going for back to back world cups that's why you blame referee.

fk1n baby@@olivieru
Have to agree, best game ever played. Both teams executing their stratergy expertly. It was always going to be a 1 pointer. Shows how closely matched the top four teams were.
Looking at the last 10 minutes of this game the French just fell apart and it seems it was a combination of pressure and fitness. The Boks looked super comfortable playing at this intensity and were just managing the game.
To be honest, in the last 10 min, french players were very good and the south Africans were playing with the rules to the limit to stop french players to play correctly. It is very frustrating to see the no decision from the referee to give a penalty for France after all the game slowdown from SA
SA definitely had a better bench, and regarding fitness one additionnal week to rest before the match if I recall correctly
@@antoinerousset1948where was the slowdown, we were better in setpiece and France knew this and that's why they were depressed as well our defence held from last French try all to last 10m where we started getting gaps in defence. If your on about the scrum collapse, the reff paused watch every time.
Vous avez raisons, par contre un joueur français joue plus souvent sur une saison et à moins de temps de repos. K intensité est plus importante dans l emisphere sud et avec plus de repos
1:21:42 I guess this didn’t help the French being higly motivated in the very last minutes
Absolutely fantastic game, never seen a first half like it. Just noticed how Etzy went and gave the French prop a little "sorry mate" hug as he was sent off to the bin. That's really class, especially after a fierce half like that.
in my country, rugby is not a popular sport, but I hope I can recognize a top sport, hats off to the RSA national team
Hey guys, I'm coming from June 2024. One of the best RWC match 👍🏻

In hindsight you realise how truly epic this win was, with the entire French nation behind their team.
Springboks are head and shoulders above the competition. Well done boks
Yes truly this will never be forgotten
Who is this commentator?, he is fire🔥🔥🔥
Ben O'Keeffe Adore !!!
Given the context, this is surely the greatest rugby match ever played. The quality of play from both sides was just off the charts. That first half.....wow!
No. The Springboks created nothing as always and just fed off mistakes. Definitely not the greatest game when one team is just laying and preying while the other team does all the attacking.
The Ireland v All Blacks game was better. Two attacking teams attacking.

Almost.
If the referee hadn’t spoiled the game.
@mlipeck it’s a tough job being a ref having to make split second decisions where people like us can go and hate on them in the comments sections. Ben got most of the calls right. There are some we can debate. Hopefully officiating and rules improve over time without slowing the game down too much. That said, let’s enjoy the good hearted contest and give credit where it’s due. If you don’t enjoy this incredible match because you disagree with a call or two, I would feel really bad because it’s such a good game if you see the beauty and the heartbreak of sport behind it.
@@zanderprinsloo7493 💯 Well said.
@@zanderprinsloo7493 You idealize many things.
I’m much more factual than you.
And as for sport and its great values, we are far from the impartiality it demands.
1:09:41 I wonder why this tackle was not reviewed on Pieter-Steph du Toit by Damian Penaud? The SA player went off for a HIA and there was no review or replay of this??
It was a clear head clash and Penaud did not bend down to tackle correctly and should have been sent off clear as day!
same as the H2H on Eben when scoring guy dives off his feet for a headclash
Proudly South African ♠♥🎖🏆🏅🏉

"Bravery, absolute bravery on their call, to take that tap..." @ 1:19:36
6:15 that's a knock on ! what is the result of a knock on at 5m from the try line ?
Yellow card
But the ball was knocked backwards so how was it suppose to be a yellow card?😢
6:13 Dupont (2m from the try line) pass to Penaud who is on the 5m line. then the pass is intercepted by Etzebeth that jump, he is behind the 5m line (his shadow and the ball fall about 50cm forward, and then the N°7 dive to catch the ball and make another knock on.
@@ainohaste no knock on there, good call from the ref. You can't judge by the lines because of the angle and the fact that the ball is in the air. The biggest give away that it was backwards was the motion of his hands back towards his own line.
This is my guilty pleasure!!! Love this game
It's that green and gold jersey that made the players feel immortal and won the whole bluddy thing lol! World rugby will probably be thinking to ban the jersey as it possess great super powers lol
Merci à World Rugby de mettre ligne ce match, et donc de permettre au monde de voir à nouveau l'arbitrage nullissime de O'Keeffe et de ce TMO inexistant, aussi bien, sur l'en avant d'Etzebetz que sur le contre de Kolbe !

The only Northern Hemisphere team worth playing. France!!!! Respect.
Probably the most neck and neck RWC match ever played. High calibre from both teams but the Boks just had that little bit extra. Talk about calm under pressure !! Boks Forever.
It will go down in Rugby folklore that first half from Kolbe, he was involved in everything and never made a mistake. One of the all time greats for sure in my opinion.
He gave away a pen in the first half for being offside
3:15 if you want to be exact, he still had a phenomenal game
@@williamdarlow8773 Pretty questionable penalty Penaud literally pushes him back into the ruck not really sure it is him getting penalized, that would be from the side not offside.

How Lekker is that
As French I think we need to thanks Leinster to bring rugby this level, even more from a not so big country. What a surgical rugby they managed to build with Irish sens of sacrifice, respectful and gumble work, keep it up. Toulouse had an impressive calm in the money time, (see their pourcentage of win in french and european finals), last 10 min at 14 against 15 could let room for Leinster but few big mistakes helped Toulouse a lot.
Wow, what a game!❤
