From an All Blacks supporter Pieter-Steph du Toit was a monster on the field,bent at the hips all game long,and seemingly everywhere!!! Congratulations Springboks,taking the hard road to glory!!!🙏👍
I didn't expect you guys to be as bruising as you were. This is how rugby should be. Everything left out on the field. Head up, my friend. AB's did your nation proud - from a Bok.
As South Africans we appreciate what this team has done for us ... but we have paid a very steep price for it. The last three 1 point games have taken an average 10yrs off every South Africans life expectancy due to the stress. If we do this every 4 years, we'll soon have to lower the retirement age to 30.
To South Africa's credit, they won three elimination games in succession by 1 point. Tough, tough games. Overall, very well deserved World Cup victory.
You're pure class Tim. Thank you for all your fabulous commentary this tournament. Nobody touches your balanced opinions. Enjoy the night and safe travels home.
From a neutral Irish rugby fan I don't even want to imagine how all the fantastic NZ fans are feeling right now. I am so sorry that you are feeling the pain that all of us have felt over the course of this tournament. But be proud. Your team were amazing! For the wonderful South African fans massive congratulations! South Africa were the best team tonight. It was a well deserved win! Have a wonderful night tonight. Enjoy your moment! Champions!!!!!!!!! Best match of the tournament and I honestly don't know what the hell I'm going to do with my time now - I'll miss these amazing evening games. Thank you Tim for your amazing content ❤❤❤
We are good. We had our chances and didn’t take them. No shame in the performances those boys put in. 14 men and the bomb squad, they took it in their stride and didn’t buckle. That is what makes a champion team
Fantastic fans? 😂 if I've learnt anything over this rwc is that most new Zealand fans are insufferable! Beat Ireland by 4 points and acted like Ireland were trash! Well show us your silver medals lads😂. I'd rather have that series win last summer myself 😂
@@billbobby461a couple of decent seasons doesn’t put the Irish in the same league as NZ. I understand Irish fans feel their team deserves respect, but that needs to be earned and 2 seasons isn’t enough. Keep up the level they have shown through the next world cup and you will have proven something
@@spottersworld3135 ah whatever pull out those silver losers medals we've still got that shield we won off you down there we can compare which is better 🤣
@@billbobby461different experiences I guess,for me as a suffer they remain the best of any country we've ever faced , always classy in defeat or victory, maybe is the respect between the two nations tht has been there for many years
Watching the game on SABC last night it struck me what this meant for us. Two commentators delivering comments in five languages between the two of them! The atmosphere in the suburb was like sitting on the stands. This really means a lot for SA. Well played All Blacks. Respect!
I just wish the one guy could have maybe kept quiet for a while! Was a bit sorry we missed hearing the anthems, but then realised we also missed the haka, which was a huge bonus.
@@charltojanuarie2354 Was he the trilingual oke speaking English, Afrikaans and Sesotho (I think)? If so I agree wholeheartedly - pity he didn't shut the other one up!
As a Springbok supporter, this was one heart stopping game. To the All Blacks, boys we as South Africans, have the utmost respect and love for you. You are amazing All Blacks. As for Sam Cane. Sam you are a amazing captain and you should not blame yourself for the way the final played of. You should be proud of yourself and your team. Respect and love for the All Blacks always. As for the Springboks love you guys. I swear I aged and almost had a heart attack. Proud of you Bokke. ❤❤
The amount of respect in this comment section is a reflection of the fan base Tim has created through providing content that is as neutral as it is. Congratulations Tim on creating one of the only pages on RUclips I've found that is as respectful as this one. Congrats to SA, deserving champs. For the ABs to play the way they did, with 14 men - simply phenomenal despite not getting the job done.
Good call. Yes, fair and objective commentary seems out to bring the best in true sports fans. A great reflection of the state of rugby and what it really all should be about.
I feel broken, sad, proud, confused, humbled as a South African supporter. When we won against England in 2019 I was elated. The love and respect between the Boks and AB’s are unrivaled.
Just be proud that your team gave it a good shot at teaching the All Twats and their All Twat fans some humility! Judging by the comments from that bunch, it hasn’t worked, but we can always dream that someday the arrogance could be eradicated!
I find it odd that everyone hates England. It’s just how it’s always been. I think the rest of the world needs to remember the the English gave rugby to everyone. The trouble is we’re just not very good at it.
@@expressoevangelism80You should have won the World Cup in 2007 though, and that's from an Irishman. I still remember that clear try being disallowed that gave South Africa that trophy. You'd be on two World Cups with Australia, one behind NZ and SA. Not bad. So England may not be one of the top four teams at the moment, but overall they still have the proudest history of any of the Northern Hemisphere teams. To be fair though, under Eddie Jones England made themselves incredibly easy to hate.
Can I just say, Franco Mostert should really be getting player of the tournament. 6 games, 73 tackles at 91% success rate. The greasy engine of the team 🚂
Bundi Aki was great in all of his games, but Ireland simply didn't get far enough. It'll probably be given to a Kiwi or a Bok, especially given the tryscoring record being tied.
@@gregobroin7738 he had a really good tournament. The last inside centre to win it was Tim Horan, but they went all the through and won the thing. If a back wins it, it has to be Will Jordan.
As a lifelong ABs supporter I have to congratulate The Boks. We had our chances to take the match and just weren't at our clinical best. Too many errors cost us dearly.
Yep, in the knockout games, no team that turned down points, won the game. These defenses are too good these days. And Saffa defense best in the world, too much pressure. Fair play SA, may we meet again in 4 years time.
Absolutely. As a bok fan, i was baffled when Nz took their 2nd penalty for a line out kick rather than the 3 points.. the 1st penalty they also kicked out...i get it,they wanted to carry the momentum to get a try..2nd one was stupid call. They shouldve taken the easy 3 points right there. Also the barret kick that missed. pollard has a 100% succes rate and 33points this world cup.. NZ had their chances and didnt capitilize. I hope we can stay rational as fans over this match and maybe one day meet again in a final. Im sure we will. Well done NZ you are a class team and nation,keep your heads up
Gutted for my All Blacks, joyous for the Springboks and most grateful for your outstanding content over the past weeks! Thanks for taking us along on the very special journey.
Tim your coverage of the RWC was pure class mate! So glad I found this channel. As a South African, I need a nap after the last few weeks. To the ABs, you're all unreal players and it was an honour to play you in the final. Rugby was the real winner after this tournament! 🇿🇦
Tim, great comments. As a French supporter, it hurts to hear you mention the hostility of the crowd against the Boks. This is not how I want us to be seen. This quarter final has clearly left some wounds that haven’t healed just yet. Sorry for that. I have to admit I’ve been one the guys blaming it on the ref calls, on the way the groups were made… disappointment & sadness have probably been clouding my judgment. The Boks have shown an amazing courage and defence over this tournament. Hat’s off to them.
Agree 100 % bro. As an AB supporter, I don't care what the ref calls, we have to confront with whatever we are dealt. We had the opportunities to win, and we did not take them. So a sincere congrats to the Springboks. That's the way it goes. Accept it, we fluffed it. Don't blame the ref kiwi supporters please. Rugby is still the Beautiful game 😊😊😊👍👍👍
The tmo is wreaking the game, you cant play for 5 phase score a try and then and gets denied! A red card was bullshit, the yellow card for shannon had nothing in it. Worst ref game ever!
As a Springbok supporter, I have the utmost respect and love for the All Blacks. They are a phenomenal team. As for Sam Cane. Sam should not blame himself for how the final played out. He is an amazing and exceptional captain. He should be proud of his team and himself. Love you always All Blacks.❤
It’s not beautiful as played by SA unfortunately, that’s why people are so disappointed that NZ lost - the sterile, defensive, kick and chase game triumphs
Tim just wanna say: you talk about how respectful everyone has been about each other etc but mate, your coverage, your opinions, your unbiased views have been incredible.. you just love the game, that’s clearly evident and on this Chanel your our leader and we have been following your example. We bend men like Siya but we need men like you in rugby and every sport actually. I’m a saffa with a British mother and Sa father and never had much love for the English but you have single handedly have changed my opinion of the English. You are doing great work here, please keep it up! Whatever you need let us (your fans) know, and I’m sure we will try help in any way we can. Guys hit that like and subscribe! Tim is one of the good guys and deserves it! And to end: wahooooo Sa! But man that was tough, it’s sad cause even as a saffa I feel the all blacks deserved that as well.
Congrats South Africa from a ABS fan great job Tim. Love that the boks won for their country. Love the rivalry and proud of the southern hemisphere teams. Again congrats bokkes best rivalry in the world ✊🏽
Unbelievable class from the AB and their supporters here . I think the AB coaching team , players and supporters have amazing old school values at heart ❤ long may it continue
As I’ve always maintained, if there’s any team I wouldn’t mind seeing the ABs lose, it would be the Springboks. Well played throughout the entire tournament and thanks Tim for the coverage.
Same, l love how much more natural it is for me to approach a person wearing a Bokke Jersey in public and have some friendly banter over a handshake. It just seems the natural thing for myself to do. Cheers bokke 👏👏👏
AB’s ; you guys are pure class. Our greatest rivals and the ones we respect the most. Well done my bokke. We did it the hard way, but what warriors. Never say die.
Respect mate. But you did it the hard way? I don’t think so. We love you and nothing against SA but don’t give me that. Springboks played negative rugby (with incredible skill) you didn’t even try for a score. It was more like a courtroom drama than a game of rugby and you guys had better lawyers.
@@Moosecannonreal we played 5 out of the top 6 teams in this world this World Cup…. The only one missing was ourselves…… we had 1 try held up and another knocked with a foot in touch…. Same amount of chance New Zealand had….. so get over it
@@Moosecannonreal Did you watch the same game as I did? The Springboks crossed the try line at least twice from what I remember, having only watched the game once. In the first half they looked far more dangerous than the ABs. Don't come with fake "respect" and then talk out your ass. If you want to talk about lawyers, the only points the ABs scored in the first half came from milked penalties involving lazy runners from the Springboks (which was really smart play). I can understand you are disappointed but damn.
It was tense game SA played there game well, NZ showed huge courage with14. Just a shame the tmo had to be the most important person. Either both captains should of had yellow or red, tackles equally bad. Frizzell got a yellow for falling over. This game is turning into Badminton!
Congratulations to the Springboks, your fighting spirit, resilience, and passion have shown through. Well played New Zealand, you showed your championship class. Thank you, France, for hosting this beautiful sporting event. To Ireland, you should be proud of your winning streak and the only team to beat the current World Champions. Thank you, Tim, for your unbiased and fair podcasts over the World Cup.
Pieter Stef Du Toit had Man of the match written large all over him within the first twenty minutes. The rest of the game just confirmed it. As for the officials, they’ve been slagged off throughout the tournament, tonight, they were spot on, as far as humans can be. Great game. Well done South Africa.
Seeing all my fellow Saffas tonight applauding the ABs after the game… people loudly exclaiming that Sam Cain’s red card was purely unfortunate and that we didn’t want them to be a man down… no one arguing that our yellows were unfair.. all these things just showed me how much we absolutely love and respect NZ. They were as you said, absolute class in defeat and I don’t think many other teams would have responded like they did. NZ - you are amazing and we are honoured to have beaten you in this clash. May this rivalry never die
@@joelporter000Am a neutral, was not a red card. Initial contact with opposition shoulder. If you're going to make a comment as definitive as that, please review the incident. Throw away comments such as yours are either fully loaded at the time or you simply don't know the rules of the game.
@@konradnicholasnel262 I genuinely feel sorry Came, seems like a decent bloke, but unfortunately it was a red card. I was hoping that it might be left as a yellow card simply because it was the final. I know that's not right but I thought it would spoil the game, but fair play to NZ they were really good good in the 2nd half. If they had managed to get their kicks it looks like they would have won.
Tim, what a journey you've been on. Thanks for bringing us all such great content. What a fantastic WC. SA worthy winners. ABs had their chances, and I'm gutted for Cane, but they ran the Boks so close. PSDT was incredible, Etzebeth was everywhere, what a tap tackle by De Klerc, an incredible tackle by Arendse on Ioane, and Savea is an incredible player. And finally, Kholisi is total class
I mentioned not a thing about the game in my comment 😄 NZ were unreal to put it to SA for so long with 14 men, fantastic game! Got to feel for Cane, was a brutal tackle, just harsh how it planned out for him
Siya Kolisi WOW, as I said in previous comments, what an amazing, beautiful soul he is!! Absolutely love him. Irish fan here, watched the match last night with my SA friends in my living room, eating my home made Jamaican curry, and had some Chenin Blanc to wash it down with. OMG it was a fantastic evening, and of course massive congratulations to SA on this Win, and a back-to-back too. NZ commiserations to you, it was a fight to the end, you will return of course. Probably some of the best games ever were played at this tournament, I feel lucky to have seen them. Big up to all the fans of all the Nations for turning up and behaving well! Big thanks to Tim for his amazing coverage along the way of this tournament. 🙏🙏 💚☘🇮🇪
The respect between the players show a brilliant example to their fans and countries, I hope fans take note and follow their example. SA won the 1st half. Soon as that red card was given, NZ played the better game- remarkable team spirit, but SA held their nerve and therefore deserved the win.
As a South African oak, im really impressed with the All blacks performance. Really feel for ypu guys, you were immense this world cup. Could have gone either way.
As a Springbok fan living in NZ, todays game was for me, especially sad and and glorious all at the same time. A true example of "agony and ecstasy". However, I think you have summed it up very well when you talk about what rugby means and how the two teams gave all they had and put their bodies on the line for their respective countries. Bravo both. AB's and Bokke, you are inspiring. I also agree with what you say about the cards - understandable, but so very unfortunate and I do think the rules need a bit tweaking. Thanks for your insights and comments, both from a rugby technical perspective as well as a fan involved emotionally. Excellent channel!
Thanks Tim for your podcast. Discovered it after the SA vs NZ game at twickenham (think you were filming at the airport), and have followed you throughout, your commentary has been a breathe of fresh air. This game was epic, the boks were epic. And grateful for the greatest rivalry. Keep up the great work, and come visit 🇿🇦🇿🇦
I was at the game as well and surrounded by French fans and the hostility towards SA was crazy! I was just glad England didn’t make it through as I wouldn’t have been able to cope with that around me. Felt bad for the SA fans near us. Good shout as well. All the loosing teams had chances to win and didn’t, can’t blame reds when you don’t convert your opportunities. Thanks for a great tournament cocker, kept us all entertained during those non rugby moments.
As a rugby supporter [South African 😀], give Eggchaser his recognition. Love your commentary / your gees (spirit) & love for the game / sportsmanship / fairness. We need more like you in our beautiful game. Well played All Blacks & Springboks, you can both feel immensely proud of yourselves.
Unlucky AB’s your team showed massive character tonight. Tim thank you your commentary has made this WC really memorable for all of us .. shine on you crazy diamond ..
What an absolute legendary performance by Pieter-Steph he was a mountain of a man. All blacks made me proud with the heart to perform and we could of pulled it out the hat had we made the kicks. Gutted but not disappointed. 14 players for 61 minutes against such a quality side and to keep them scoreless in second half.... Wow. Just wasn't in the cards. The outcome was deserved and there isn't any doubt about that. Not even going to say the better team won. The team ahead on the score board did. They were both the best. But there has to be a winner. Congratulations South Africa ✊🏽❤
Massive congrats to NZ from SA, the rivalry continues, what a phenomenal team the AB's are managing a game with a man down the way they did, missed a couple kicks which will never stop stinging, hope the game was enjoyed by all fans, what a WC this was for all teams playing, hats off to all players in this WC
Again, love your work Tim. What an amazing human being you are, we need more of you in this world. As we do Kolisi. Fair and honest reflection. The truth. There are no victims, just consequences of not making the best of chances or bad decisions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts throughout this WC, we are all better for it. 👏
Can confirm: I watched the game at home but felt the nation surround me when I was cheering on the Boks. All credit to NZ, this game was an absolute spectacle that we will remember forever.
Just discovered your channel - wonderful takes! The match result really hurt as an All Blacks fan but oh my god what a battle! I knew after the game that we could have won it with some more precise execution and did not lose it because of the referee. I agree with you that all cards were justifiable and I certainly did not enjoy the social media backlash. With a bit more distance, I can appreciate the spectacle a lot more and I already cannot wait for the next round in 4 years time! Congratulations, South Africa, you've fought hard and earned this one!
Forever grateful of your work Tim. Been following since Six Nations and it’s been immense to see how you’ve come on and how the channels grown. Spreading our great game to a new audience.
Thank you Tim for all of your videos during this RWC. Your insight and passion have added immensely to my enjoyment and understanding of this wonderful sport.
Man, what a game! Must be the best final of all time. Got to say what a game South Africa, pulled it together when most needed, a point is a point! Well done Bokke!!!!
Yea, but with 14 men and a lucky penalty calls. To be called champions, It has be on your own terms, this win is based on a few lucky calls and missed kicks.
@@surendemel8297and it has been on our terms. We've slogged through the top 6 in the world to get to this point. Nz went through france and Ireland. The ref has been quite fair. There were missed calls on both sides and he's done the best to his abilities. Nz played phenomenal. To go 14 men against 15. At the same time, the boks were tired, having played 5 of the top 6 teams at that point. It was fantastic.
Heroic performance by the AB's, but as a die hard Bok supporter I could not be more proud right now. Millions of South Africans are doing it really tough right now and the short injection of some joy that this will bring them is HUGE. And you Tim are the best of the best - thank you for all that you do to promote rugby - always objective and always unbiased. Baie dankie!
You should be proud sir the bokkes played great well deserved victory im gutted my team lost but it was a against the old foe so its not that bad, again congratulations to your teams victory 👍
Well done Tim,really good analysis of the game. There has been a lot to unpick here. Well done to SA...they just know how to win important games. Kolisi is a giant for rugby and unity.Legend.
As a South African supporter I just want to say that the All Blacks were so gracious in their loss. I would like to think we would do same. I really didn’t mind who won to be honest. It’s always a good game when these two play each other. All I wanted out of this was not to play England in the final. Can you imagine the tantrums and Farrell’s face? Lordy. I always root for the All Blacks when we’re not up against them. Class team.
Well done both teams but here’s a shout out to you Tim, what a journey we’ve shared over the last few weeks. You’ve been fantastic and the passion and understanding you have for the game shines through. Now a family needs a dad and husband and I’m sure they’ll be glad to have you back. The ref was a credit to his profession and our game. Life goes on.
😢😢I'm going to miss this channel...Love from South Africa...like I said I never followed a channel but I was excited to watch your channel💯❤️May God bless you and your family 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hi Tim. Thanks for making this World cup so special. Your love and passion for the game is heart warming. I hope you are going to keep this channel going as your pre and post match analysis are done so well. Thanks to NZ for your contribution to world rugby. Looking forward to watching you in the coming months. Thanks Bokke for fighting tooth and nail for this incredible feat you have achieved tonight. But please no more 1 point wins. Tonight's game is a win for World Cup rugby. This year has been the best event since 1995. The level of the game has come so far since then. Congratulations to all teams, you provided us with so much joy and anticipation. Thanks Eggchasers.
Thank you Tim, your insights have been a joy to listen to. Your love , passion and intelligence for rugby really shows and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your analysis and unbiased views,thank you!
Great work Tim, thoroughly enjoyed your coverage of the tournament from Day 1, my wife knows your voice at this stage 😂 I talked about your videos and opinions a bit too much! It's been great, you've done an unbelievable job, makes me look forward to six nations even more. Your a legend Tim 👍 Hope Reiko doesn't miss his flight home :P ☘️
I was bitterly disappointed with the red card for Sam. Yes he was upright, but damn I was just waiting for the next event when one of our guys was sent off for the same thing. Happened later with Siya, but he was lower and hit the ball really more than the head. Tiny margins as you say. So hard for these players, in the heat of the moment to get everything 100% correct. That red though really energized NZ, we were all over them till that point. Again, doff my cap to our NZ adversaries. They were up for it and did enough, but some poor choices kept us in the game when they were turning the screws on us. Small margins. well done to NZ for a massive contest, as always and the respect shown by by teams is unmatched in world rugby today.
Discipline is part of the game. Is it right that some players get injured and there is no punishment? If it applies to Springbok it must apply to everyone. We missed Mapimpi because of dangerous tackles. Come on! 🇿🇦
Ask the families of players suffering from dementia or other conditions due to head knocks? There is no choice and he was a bit unlucky but there was contact and it was dangerous.
Great game! NZ people can be super proud of their team hanging with SA with 14 men through most of the game and dealing with the bomb squad, their scrum NEVER buckled! What grit and determination. As a Saffa, GRATZ my boys! What a tournament, I always had that belief, but man, that last three games you almost killed me! Here we go!!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thank you again Tim gor your wonderful commentary. It is rare to find someone who is able to givve such impartial views and with such respect to both teams. Well done the Springboks, we are so proud of you🎉❤🇿🇦🇿🇦
I am a 70 year old old school second row forward. And loved the game of rugby from the first time I played it in my early twenties. Yes it’s changed, not always for the better, but the ethics of the game are still the same. Play hard on the field, respect your opponent and get bladdered after the game!! Tim, you have done an amazing job and if you are not employed as a mainstream rugby pundit on our tv screens soon, there is something seriously wrong with the management of that organisation. Thanks buddy 👍👍
What a great rugby game! Class shown by the AB's on their post match comments and actions! As a proud Bok supporter, what a team, total belief, we had the hardest road to travel and pure guts and determination got us through! PSTD an absolute legendary performance!!
You got a fan for life on this channel. Such a pleasure to listen to unbiased analyses. Well played to the All Blacks. This was a fitting final for probably the best World Cup ever
What a contrast you are to that fellow on Virgin Media, Matt Williams. So balanced and unbiased. Well done on your cast! Are you going to do more games?
Just a thought Tim - I have watched as many videos as I could get my hands on after this game and have not come across a single negative comment and that is as monumental as this final was. Perhaps do a video on this level of respect and rivalry between these two great rugby nations. I am especially humbled by how the New Zealand supporters are congratulating the South Africans. Massive respect and the greatest rugby world cup final this world has ever seen to date.
Probably want to avoid twitter 🤦 there's stil a lot of respect but the usual moans about ref decisions are still fairly prevalent. Not sure if it's actual AB supporters or folks who just love to moan. Absolutely loved Tim's channel and the positivity it brings though!
Not come across a single negative comment? Are you blind? Boet, there are negative comments on this very video. Go onto any World Rugby vid, and with just a few scrolls you'll find them. And all say the same thing. It is honestly ridiculous.
It was a hard loss as a Kiwi. Gutted as an AB fan but congratulations to the Boks. Now that I’ve calmed down, I felt the difference came to the Coaches. I’m going to be honest and don’t want too much criticism but I have always had doubts about Fozzie but felt like he was learning on the job. Rassie was always inventive with his bomb squad and his game plan. Meanwhile Fozzie was still subbing off in form players such as Aaron Smith and Richie Mounga . I always wanted Sam Whitelock to be Captain but at the end of the day the better team won.
What alot of crap about Foster........S.A didn't win the game, we lost it. Plenty of times the 50:50 calls went against us (TMO and the Ref), no doubt Sam deserved a red card, but so did Kalisi as well.....his head clash was alot worse than Sams. We simply didn't kick the ball over, and for 40 mins in the second half we dominated the spring boks........but they managed to hang in their......without Foster we wouldn't have been in the finals......so get over this bs that he was learning on the job.......he coached them brilliantly, we just didn't get the bounce of the ball today.
@@Designsecrets Truth is I blame the NZRU rather than Fozzie who seems a genuine guy. But the way the NZRU behind closed doors selected him, then stabbed him in the back, had more secret meetings and sacked him before the end of the RWC, I’d be sacking the CEO and entire board and starting again.
@@Brucemcleod2345 completely agree.the clown show they put on with the ceo and razor was belittling and did nothing to 'put the all black team first'.......it was all about egos, which Fozzie doesn't have. I feel for him as I thought he'd done more than enough to give us the best team.....and they tried, but the ref, the kicks, the weather.....just all the little things, didn't work out this time.
From Cape Town : a wild night, Tim thanks so much for the wonderful ride throughout this World Cup. I loved all the videos - and your tour of the country and the competition. Also your tour of the Van you were staying in was class. To the game of rugby : what a triumph. Now I just hope that the sport grows - it’s quite complex to access the game as a newcomer , with all the rules and laws. But tonight was messy. Gruesome. Brutal. Powerful. Tense. All blacks were incredible. Always respect them. They’re the best team in the history of the sport. We may be world champions - but we do it with much respect and appreciation for the Kiwis. Much love all!
You're an absolute class act, Tim. How fantastic to enjoy your channel the last 6 or more weeks and hearing sober, incisive, informed commentary that cuts above all the noise of partisanship that's so often the want of media scribes and others on the mass platforms. The ones who are out there, feeding the frenzied feelings of their audiences instead of calling it for the truth it is. You're in this for the love of the game, spreading knowledge of the sport and how to be a REAL fan of it, regardless of one's nationality. Just now I watched the recriminatory comments of a Sky Sports reporter pouring rubbish on refereeing decisions and referencing the disputed Kriel tackle in the Scotland game against the backdrop of Kriel now being the victim of a "similar" tackle by Cane in this Final. Then Martin Johnson of all people states on BBC Sport that we should be asking how the AB captain stayed off the field when the SA captain was allowed back on. Talk about skew-eyed! Tim, keep keeping it real and keep doing it for the love of the game! You've brought much joy the last few weeks.
Barnes was fine, the bunker and the TMO need to be restricted to requests for review. Seriously what is the purpose of a ref on the field if he keeps getting called back. But congratulations to SA, well deserved and a great tournament
@@SuperEdge67I really dont understand that. Presumably a ‘protocol’ issue. When we come back multiple phases for minor things I really dont understand it.
@SuperEdge67 I said he was fine, not perfect. Maybe the TMO or bunker should have corrected him were in his ear for pretty much the rest of the game. I am a kiwi fan trying hard not to go on a rant, and I honestly thought his game was generally fine. As Tim said, that didn't cost us the game, my concern was more a long-term thing, these non-field referees are going to kill the game unless they are roped in.
You’re a class act Tim. Thank you for all the reviews and commentary throughout the RWC. You’ve been a joy to watch. All the best for the future mate👊🏻
Hey Tim, one of the things I’ll remember about this world cup is your introduction to the rugby fraternity. Your videos have been so insightful and non biased from start to finish, and have been my first to watch after each game. Well done for the hard work and enjoy the rest! 🇿🇦🙌
100% agree with your analysis. Love the channel and happy to see how it’s grown this year, particularly during the World Cup. You seem to be better more views than much bigger channels.
Hey Tim - I was going to hang around after the game and see if I can at least say hi. But haven’t slept since Thursday and it was raining Etc, so I decided to hit the road. Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful content throughout the tournament. Going to feel weird not to watch Eggchasers every day. Looking forward to what you’ve got planned for the channel.
I have no words. I'm just so relieved that we pulled it through. 4-Time world champions. GO BOKKE!!! The AB's is our greatest rival and they gave us a real fight until the 81st minute. YNWA Bokke!!!
I love Aaron Smith after the game, he seemed so content with his journey. Today he just seemed to have simply enjoyed playing rugby, he's had an incredible journey and a wonderful game to end on
Officials were good - probably the best this World Cup. Pressure was on them and they performed - best thing was that they allowed the game to flow. Wayne Barnes is currently the best Ref in the world in my humble opinion.
Once again Tim, salute, comments on point...respect to New Zealand...for our Bokke...we are so proud of you...thank you and a job well done..VIVA AMABOKKE VIVA
From an All Blacks supporter Pieter-Steph du Toit was a monster on the field,bent at the hips all game long,and seemingly everywhere!!! Congratulations Springboks,taking the hard road to glory!!!🙏👍
Thank you from a Bok Supporter
Your team was heroic, the way they stood up, I really felt for Sam Cane. He was just unlucky!!
He saved his best in the last 4 years to play NZ.... Just to show what we needed to win by one point and you had 14 players.... Massive respect
I didn't expect you guys to be as bruising as you were. This is how rugby should be. Everything left out on the field. Head up, my friend. AB's did your nation proud - from a Bok.
Im sorry for the red, you deserved better, we need to change that.
As South Africans we appreciate what this team has done for us ... but we have paid a very steep price for it.
The last three 1 point games have taken an average 10yrs off every South Africans life expectancy due to the stress.
If we do this every 4 years, we'll soon have to lower the retirement age to 30.
🤣
In the end South Africa just wanted it a little more.
Don't give Stats SA ideas. 😂 Lowering the retirement age to thirty would essentially solve our unemployment numbers.
To South Africa's credit, they won three elimination games in succession by 1 point. Tough, tough games.
Overall, very well deserved World Cup victory.
🤣😅😂... possibly will need to follow suit here in New Zealand for some.
👏👏👏 Bokke
Epic win
You're pure class Tim.
Thank you for all your fabulous commentary this tournament.
Nobody touches your balanced opinions.
Enjoy the night and safe travels home.
From a neutral Irish rugby fan I don't even want to imagine how all the fantastic NZ fans are feeling right now. I am so sorry that you are feeling the pain that all of us have felt over the course of this tournament. But be proud. Your team were amazing! For the wonderful South African fans massive congratulations! South Africa were the best team tonight. It was a well deserved win! Have a wonderful night tonight. Enjoy your moment! Champions!!!!!!!!! Best match of the tournament and I honestly don't know what the hell I'm going to do with my time now - I'll miss these amazing evening games. Thank you Tim for your amazing content ❤❤❤
We are good. We had our chances and didn’t take them. No shame in the performances those boys put in. 14 men and the bomb squad, they took it in their stride and didn’t buckle. That is what makes a champion team
Fantastic fans? 😂 if I've learnt anything over this rwc is that most new Zealand fans are insufferable! Beat Ireland by 4 points and acted like Ireland were trash!
Well show us your silver medals lads😂. I'd rather have that series win last summer myself 😂
@@billbobby461a couple of decent seasons doesn’t put the Irish in the same league as NZ. I understand Irish fans feel their team deserves respect, but that needs to be earned and 2 seasons isn’t enough. Keep up the level they have shown through the next world cup and you will have proven something
@@spottersworld3135 ah whatever pull out those silver losers medals we've still got that shield we won off you down there we can compare which is better 🤣
@@billbobby461different experiences I guess,for me as a suffer they remain the best of any country we've ever faced , always classy in defeat or victory, maybe is the respect between the two nations tht has been there for many years
Watching the game on SABC last night it struck me what this meant for us. Two commentators delivering comments in five languages between the two of them!
The atmosphere in the suburb was like sitting on the stands. This really means a lot for SA.
Well played All Blacks. Respect!
I just wish the one guy could have maybe kept quiet for a while!
Was a bit sorry we missed hearing the anthems, but then realised we also missed the haka, which was a huge bonus.
I like the commentator renier swart on sabc
@@charltojanuarie2354 Was he the trilingual oke speaking English, Afrikaans and Sesotho (I think)? If so I agree wholeheartedly - pity he didn't shut the other one up!
That was awesome.
As a Springbok supporter, this was one heart stopping game. To the All Blacks, boys we as South Africans, have the utmost respect and love for you. You are amazing All Blacks. As for Sam Cane. Sam you are a amazing captain and you should not blame yourself for the way the final played of. You should be proud of yourself and your team. Respect and love for the All Blacks always. As for the Springboks love you guys. I swear I aged and almost had a heart attack. Proud of you Bokke. ❤❤
The amount of respect in this comment section is a reflection of the fan base Tim has created through providing content that is as neutral as it is. Congratulations Tim on creating one of the only pages on RUclips I've found that is as respectful as this one. Congrats to SA, deserving champs. For the ABs to play the way they did, with 14 men - simply phenomenal despite not getting the job done.
Good call. Yes, fair and objective commentary seems out to bring the best in true sports fans. A great reflection of the state of rugby and what it really all should be about.
Rugby wins thanks Tim
I feel broken, sad, proud, confused, humbled as a South African supporter. When we won against England in 2019 I was elated. The love and respect between the Boks and AB’s are unrivaled.
Just be proud that your team gave it a good shot at teaching the All Twats and their All Twat fans some humility! Judging by the comments from that bunch, it hasn’t worked, but we can always dream that someday the arrogance could be eradicated!
Right? Like I'm proud but it's bitter sweet. Thank you New Zealand
@@nikilandella6136bitter sweet???? Wtf, grow a pair ffs!
I find it odd that everyone hates England. It’s just how it’s always been.
I think the rest of the world needs to remember the the English gave rugby to everyone.
The trouble is we’re just not very good at it.
@@expressoevangelism80You should have won the World Cup in 2007 though, and that's from an Irishman. I still remember that clear try being disallowed that gave South Africa that trophy. You'd be on two World Cups with Australia, one behind NZ and SA. Not bad.
So England may not be one of the top four teams at the moment, but overall they still have the proudest history of any of the Northern Hemisphere teams.
To be fair though, under Eddie Jones England made themselves incredibly easy to hate.
Can I just say, Franco Mostert should really be getting player of the tournament. 6 games, 73 tackles at 91% success rate. The greasy engine of the team 🚂
Wow, didn’t know the stats. But that man doesn’t get and has never gotten the respect he deserves.
Sorry has to be Bundi Aki
Bundi Aki was great in all of his games, but Ireland simply didn't get far enough. It'll probably be given to a Kiwi or a Bok, especially given the tryscoring record being tied.
@@gregobroin7738 great offensively. But defence won the cup 👍
@@gregobroin7738 he had a really good tournament. The last inside centre to win it was Tim Horan, but they went all the through and won the thing.
If a back wins it, it has to be Will Jordan.
Pieter-Steph, smashing everything not wearing a Springbok jersey, was a thing of beauty to watch.
How good was Pieter-Steph, unbelievable.
Dirty player
Brilliant heart, although Barnes would’ve ensured the SA win whether he showed up at all…
The oak is a living legend..
mate.....
@@aaronmarsh873
@@aaronmarsh873 Never Seen a RWC with so much SA ref bias.
As a lifelong ABs supporter I have to congratulate The Boks. We had our chances to take the match and just weren't at our clinical best. Too many errors cost us dearly.
Thank you for a class game it was 50/50 either team could’ve won that
Yep, in the knockout games, no team that turned down points, won the game. These defenses are too good these days. And Saffa defense best in the world, too much pressure. Fair play SA, may we meet again in 4 years time.
Huge respect for AB. They entered tournament off their game and came into form but were still not at their best at the end
A succinct and accurate summary
Absolutely. As a bok fan, i was baffled when Nz took their 2nd penalty for a line out kick rather than the 3 points.. the 1st penalty they also kicked out...i get it,they wanted to carry the momentum to get a try..2nd one was stupid call. They shouldve taken the easy 3 points right there. Also the barret kick that missed. pollard has a 100% succes rate and 33points this world cup.. NZ had their chances and didnt capitilize. I hope we can stay rational as fans over this match and maybe one day meet again in a final. Im sure we will. Well done NZ you are a class team and nation,keep your heads up
Tim you and your rugby commentaty have added something even more to a wonderful world cup. Congratulations to South Africa!
It was a tough battle. Thank you All Blacks. We respect and love you as brothers. Well done Bokke! 💚💛
You ahve our eternal respect, classy AB supporters.
Gutted for my All Blacks, joyous for the Springboks and most grateful for your outstanding content over the past weeks! Thanks for taking us along on the very special journey.
Hear Hear
We’ll Saïd as a Bok supporte! You guys were imperious.
Thank you for an amazing game you guys are class should not have been a red I think that was a wrong call
Great final both teams left nothing out there brilliant ❤
I feel for the Kiwis❤🇿🇦
Tim your coverage of the RWC was pure class mate! So glad I found this channel. As a South African, I need a nap after the last few weeks. To the ABs, you're all unreal players and it was an honour to play you in the final. Rugby was the real winner after this tournament! 🇿🇦
That game was a disgrace to rugby
@@joelporter000 ok?

Thank you for your channel...🇿🇦
@@joelporter000 You are a disgrace for saying this cr....p.!! Get lost !!
From a SAFFA - The ABs are absolute class.
PSDT. What a player. Most humble guy ever. Proudly South African
Tim, great comments. As a French supporter, it hurts to hear you mention the hostility of the crowd against the Boks. This is not how I want us to be seen. This quarter final has clearly left some wounds that haven’t healed just yet. Sorry for that. I have to admit I’ve been one the guys blaming it on the ref calls, on the way the groups were made… disappointment & sadness have probably been clouding my judgment. The Boks have shown an amazing courage and defence over this tournament. Hat’s off to them.
Respect
And I thought the French would support the Boks because of the French heritage of a number of Boks 😊.
Agree 100 % bro. As an AB supporter, I don't care what the ref calls, we have to confront with whatever we are dealt. We had the opportunities to win, and we did not take them. So a sincere congrats to the Springboks. That's the way it goes. Accept it, we fluffed it. Don't blame the ref kiwi supporters please. Rugby is still the Beautiful game 😊😊😊👍👍👍
The tmo is wreaking the game, you cant play for 5 phase score a try and then and gets denied! A red card was bullshit, the yellow card for shannon had nothing in it. Worst ref game ever!
As a Springbok supporter, I have the utmost respect and love for the All Blacks. They are a phenomenal team. As for Sam Cane. Sam should not blame himself for how the final played out. He is an amazing and exceptional captain. He should be proud of his team and himself. Love you always All Blacks.❤
Respect 👍🇮🇪☘️
It’s not beautiful as played by SA unfortunately, that’s why people are so disappointed that NZ lost - the sterile, defensive, kick and chase game triumphs
I don't think any other team could've pushed the Springboks to the limit with only 14 men on the field. Much respect to the AB's from a Bok supporter.
Tim just wanna say: you talk about how respectful everyone has been about each other etc but mate, your coverage, your opinions, your unbiased views have been incredible.. you just love the game, that’s clearly evident and on this Chanel your our leader and we have been following your example. We bend men like Siya but we need men like you in rugby and every sport actually. I’m a saffa with a British mother and Sa father and never had much love for the English but you have single handedly have changed my opinion of the English. You are doing great work here, please keep it up! Whatever you need let us (your fans) know, and I’m sure we will try help in any way we can. Guys hit that like and subscribe! Tim is one of the good guys and deserves it! And to end: wahooooo Sa! But man that was tough, it’s sad cause even as a saffa I feel the all blacks deserved that as well.
Couldn't agree more! You are an ambassador for rugby and England Tim!!
Agree
Summed up quite well, stumbled upon this channel and through the WC became my go to channel. Keep up your unbiased quality work.
Perfect summary 🤌🏻
Congrats South Africa from a ABS fan great job Tim. Love that the boks won for their country. Love the rivalry and proud of the southern hemisphere teams. Again congrats bokkes best rivalry in the world ✊🏽
Cheers mate was a great game. 🇿🇦
A great contest or spectacle but not a great game. NH lost out narrowly by very fine margins. Congrats SA
Just as proud of you guys, thanks for keeping Southern Hemisphere rugby the best❤
Such class you're!!!thank you we love you too❤❤❤❤
Unbelievable class from the AB and their supporters here . I think the AB coaching team , players and supporters have amazing old school values at heart ❤ long may it continue
The route to the final was incredibly difficult for SA, the single point wins were mind blowing. Mindset is everything. 👏👏👏🔥
As I’ve always maintained, if there’s any team I wouldn’t mind seeing the ABs lose, it would be the Springboks. Well played throughout the entire tournament and thanks Tim for the coverage.
Same for us, if SA doesn't win we're always putting our weight behind you. You guys can be proud of your amazing tournament. Love and respect, always
Same, l love how much more natural it is for me to approach a person wearing a Bokke Jersey in public and have some friendly banter over a handshake. It just seems the natural thing for myself to do.
Cheers bokke 👏👏👏
Vice Versa !!! 👍🏼
The respect is mutual Sir.
AB’s ; you guys are pure class. Our greatest rivals and the ones we respect the most. Well done my bokke. We did it the hard way, but what warriors. Never say die.
Respect mate. But you did it the hard way? I don’t think so. We love you and nothing against SA but don’t give me that. Springboks played negative rugby (with incredible skill) you didn’t even try for a score. It was more like a courtroom drama than a game of rugby and you guys had better lawyers.
@@Moosecannonreal we played 5 out of the top 6 teams in this world this World Cup…. The only one missing was ourselves…… we had 1 try held up and another knocked with a foot in touch…. Same amount of chance New Zealand had….. so get over it
@@Moosecannonreal Did you watch the same game as I did? The Springboks crossed the try line at least twice from what I remember, having only watched the game once. In the first half they looked far more dangerous than the ABs. Don't come with fake "respect" and then talk out your ass. If you want to talk about lawyers, the only points the ABs scored in the first half came from milked penalties involving lazy runners from the Springboks (which was really smart play). I can understand you are disappointed but damn.
It was tense game SA played there game well, NZ showed huge courage with14. Just a shame the tmo had to be the most important person. Either both captains should of had yellow or red, tackles equally bad. Frizzell got a yellow for falling over. This game is turning into Badminton!
@@Moosecannonrealwhat a bad sportsman grow up !
Congratulations to the Springboks, your fighting spirit, resilience, and passion have shown through. Well played New Zealand, you showed your championship class. Thank you, France, for hosting this beautiful sporting event. To Ireland, you should be proud of your winning streak and the only team to beat the current World Champions. Thank you, Tim, for your unbiased and fair podcasts over the World Cup.
Pieter Stef Du Toit had Man of the match written large all over him within the first twenty minutes. The rest of the game just confirmed it. As for the officials, they’ve been slagged off throughout the tournament, tonight, they were spot on, as far as humans can be. Great game. Well done South Africa.
Seeing all my fellow Saffas tonight applauding the ABs after the game… people loudly exclaiming that Sam Cain’s red card was purely unfortunate and that we didn’t want them to be a man down… no one arguing that our yellows were unfair.. all these things just showed me how much we absolutely love and respect NZ. They were as you said, absolute class in defeat and I don’t think many other teams would have responded like they did.
NZ - you are amazing and we are honoured to have beaten you in this clash.
May this rivalry never die
Kolisi was a red every other game
Bollocks man… the Kolisi tackle was no where near red.
@@joelporter000Am a neutral, was not a red card. Initial contact with opposition shoulder. If you're going to make a comment as definitive as that, please review the incident. Throw away comments such as yours are either fully loaded at the time or you simply don't know the rules of the game.
@@amkejCyea Well said, I do think cane’s red card was a bit harsh though, I’d be fuming if I was an All Black supporter.
@@konradnicholasnel262 I genuinely feel sorry Came, seems like a decent bloke, but unfortunately it was a red card. I was hoping that it might be left as a yellow card simply because it was the final. I know that's not right but I thought it would spoil the game, but fair play to NZ they were really good good in the 2nd half. If they had managed to get their kicks it looks like they would have won.
Tim, what a journey you've been on. Thanks for bringing us all such great content. What a fantastic WC. SA worthy winners. ABs had their chances, and I'm gutted for Cane, but they ran the Boks so close. PSDT was incredible, Etzebeth was everywhere, what a tap tackle by De Klerc, an incredible tackle by Arendse on Ioane, and Savea is an incredible player. And finally, Kholisi is total class
I mentioned not a thing about the game in my comment 😄 NZ were unreal to put it to SA for so long with 14 men, fantastic game! Got to feel for Cane, was a brutal tackle, just harsh how it planned out for him
Siya Kolisi WOW, as I said in previous comments, what an amazing, beautiful soul he is!! Absolutely love him.
Irish fan here, watched the match last night with my SA friends in my living room, eating my home made Jamaican curry, and had some Chenin Blanc to wash it down with.
OMG it was a fantastic evening, and of course massive congratulations to SA on this Win, and a back-to-back too. NZ commiserations to you, it was a fight to the end, you will return of course.
Probably some of the best games ever were played at this tournament, I feel lucky to have seen them. Big up to all the fans of all the Nations for turning up and behaving well!
Big thanks to Tim for his amazing coverage along the way of this tournament. 🙏🙏 💚☘🇮🇪
The respect between the players show a brilliant example to their fans and countries, I hope fans take note and follow their example. SA won the 1st half. Soon as that red card was given, NZ played the better game- remarkable team spirit, but SA held their nerve and therefore deserved the win.
Tim, I will remember this World Cup because of people like you; huge contribution. Many thanks and please keep going
As a South African oak, im really impressed with the All blacks performance. Really feel for ypu guys, you were immense this world cup. Could have gone either way.
Oke!!
As a Springbok fan living in NZ, todays game was for me, especially sad and and glorious all at the same time. A true example of "agony and ecstasy". However, I think you have summed it up very well when you talk about what rugby means and how the two teams gave all they had and put their bodies on the line for their respective countries. Bravo both. AB's and Bokke, you are inspiring. I also agree with what you say about the cards - understandable, but so very unfortunate and I do think the rules need a bit tweaking. Thanks for your insights and comments, both from a rugby technical perspective as well as a fan involved emotionally. Excellent channel!
Thank you Tim for your great unbiased coverage of RWC 2023.
Thanks for your coverage, Eggchaser. You and Two Cents have been the best coverage of this RWC. Be proud of yourself!
Thanks Tim for your podcast. Discovered it after the SA vs NZ game at twickenham (think you were filming at the airport), and have followed you throughout, your commentary has been a breathe of fresh air.
This game was epic, the boks were epic. And grateful for the greatest rivalry.
Keep up the great work, and come visit 🇿🇦🇿🇦
I was at the game as well and surrounded by French fans and the hostility towards SA was crazy! I was just glad England didn’t make it through as I wouldn’t have been able to cope with that around me. Felt bad for the SA fans near us. Good shout as well. All the loosing teams had chances to win and didn’t, can’t blame reds when you don’t convert your opportunities. Thanks for a great tournament cocker, kept us all entertained during those non rugby moments.
Thanks, Tim. We've loved your voice the entire campaign. The best voice we've heard online so far. Thanks for everything!
Rugby wins.
Pieter Steph du Toit, Deon Fourie, Kwagga Smith, Ardie Savea, Aaron Smith! Incredible rugby players for a variety of reasons! PSDT was a beast today!
As a rugby supporter [South African 😀], give Eggchaser his recognition. Love your commentary / your gees (spirit) & love for the game / sportsmanship / fairness. We need more like you in our beautiful game. Well played All Blacks & Springboks, you can both feel immensely proud of yourselves.
Unlucky AB’s your team showed massive character tonight. Tim thank you your commentary has made this WC really memorable for all of us .. shine on you crazy diamond ..
It's not about luck it's about resilience, defense, discipline and emotional intelligence. GO BOKKE! 💚💛🇿🇦
I am a BOK, but respect to the All Blacks!! Thanks for the Game
What an absolute legendary performance by Pieter-Steph he was a mountain of a man. All blacks made me proud with the heart to perform and we could of pulled it out the hat had we made the kicks. Gutted but not disappointed. 14 players for 61 minutes against such a quality side and to keep them scoreless in second half.... Wow. Just wasn't in the cards. The outcome was deserved and there isn't any doubt about that. Not even going to say the better team won. The team ahead on the score board did. They were both the best. But there has to be a winner. Congratulations South Africa ✊🏽❤
Still at it , great commitment Tim.
You absolutely called it.
We were so so lucky! Congrats to Bokke! Congrats to All Blacks for an incredible game. What a battle!
👍🇮🇪
Not lucky at all. They were gifted a forward pass 'try'.
@lfk53 Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw that forward pass!
Landed backwards then bounced forward making it look like it was forward.
@@lfk53if you watch carefully the ball went back first, we were definitely lucky, they got a red after like 30 mins.
Massive congrats to NZ from SA, the rivalry continues, what a phenomenal team the AB's are managing a game with a man down the way they did, missed a couple kicks which will never stop stinging, hope the game was enjoyed by all fans, what a WC this was for all teams playing, hats off to all players in this WC
Again, love your work Tim. What an amazing human being you are, we need more of you in this world. As we do Kolisi. Fair and honest reflection. The truth. There are no victims, just consequences of not making the best of chances or bad decisions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts throughout this WC, we are all better for it. 👏
Can confirm: I watched the game at home but felt the nation surround me when I was cheering on the Boks. All credit to NZ, this game was an absolute spectacle that we will remember forever.
Tim, Thanks for your videos, you've made the RWC more interesting with your honest, genuine, heartfelt comments - really appreciated.
Thx Tim. You made this WC so more enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Fantastic channel 👏👏
Just discovered your channel - wonderful takes! The match result really hurt as an All Blacks fan but oh my god what a battle! I knew after the game that we could have won it with some more precise execution and did not lose it because of the referee. I agree with you that all cards were justifiable and I certainly did not enjoy the social media backlash. With a bit more distance, I can appreciate the spectacle a lot more and I already cannot wait for the next round in 4 years time! Congratulations, South Africa, you've fought hard and earned this one!
Thanks Tim for sharing your RWC journey with us all.
Forever grateful of your work Tim. Been following since Six Nations and it’s been immense to see how you’ve come on and how the channels grown. Spreading our great game to a new audience.

Man, what a game! Must be the best final of all time. Got to say what a game South Africa, pulled it together when most needed, a point is a point! Well done Bokke!!!!
Yea, but with 14 men and a lucky penalty calls. To be called champions, It has be on your own terms, this win is based on a few lucky calls and missed kicks.
@@surendemel8297and some dodgy calls for the all blacks cancel that out, the try was actually a forward pass.
@@surendemel8297and it has been on our terms. We've slogged through the top 6 in the world to get to this point. Nz went through france and Ireland. The ref has been quite fair. There were missed calls on both sides and he's done the best to his abilities. Nz played phenomenal. To go 14 men against 15. At the same time, the boks were tired, having played 5 of the top 6 teams at that point. It was fantastic.
NZ did not deserve to win wc. lost to france very lucky to beat an under par Ireland. SA deserved it.

Sad comment.
Heroic performance by the AB's, but as a die hard Bok supporter I could not be more proud right now. Millions of South Africans are doing it really tough right now and the short injection of some joy that this will bring them is HUGE. And you Tim are the best of the best - thank you for all that you do to promote rugby - always objective and always unbiased. Baie dankie!
You should be proud sir the bokkes played great well deserved victory im gutted my team lost but it was a against the old foe so its not that bad, again congratulations to your teams victory 👍
Well done Tim,really good analysis of the game.
There has been a lot to unpick here.
Well done to SA...they just know how to win important games.
Kolisi is a giant for rugby and unity.Legend.
As a South African supporter I just want to say that the All Blacks were so gracious in their loss. I would like to think we would do same. I really didn’t mind who won to be honest. It’s always a good game when these two play each other. All I wanted out of this was not to play England in the final. Can you imagine the tantrums and Farrell’s face? Lordy.
I always root for the All Blacks when we’re not up against them. Class team.
Well done both teams but here’s a shout out to you Tim, what a journey we’ve shared over the last few weeks. You’ve been fantastic and the passion and understanding you have for the game shines through. Now a family needs a dad and husband and I’m sure they’ll be glad to have you back. The ref was a credit to his profession and our game. Life goes on.
😢😢I'm going to miss this channel...Love from South Africa...like I said I never followed a channel but I was excited to watch your channel💯❤️May God bless you and your family 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

I hope you are going to keep this channel going as your pre and post match analysis are done so well. Thanks to NZ for your contribution to world rugby. Looking forward to watching you in the coming months.
Thanks Bokke for fighting tooth and nail for this incredible feat you have achieved tonight. But please no more 1 point wins.

Great work Tim, thoroughly enjoyed your coverage of the tournament from Day 1, my wife knows your voice at this stage 😂 I talked about your videos and opinions a bit too much! It's been great, you've done an unbelievable job, makes me look forward to six nations even more. Your a legend Tim 👍
Hope Reiko doesn't miss his flight home :P ☘️
I was bitterly disappointed with the red card for Sam. Yes he was upright, but damn I was just waiting for the next event when one of our guys was sent off for the same thing. Happened later with Siya, but he was lower and hit the ball really more than the head. Tiny margins as you say. So hard for these players, in the heat of the moment to get everything 100% correct.
That red though really energized NZ, we were all over them till that point.
Again, doff my cap to our NZ adversaries. They were up for it and did enough, but some poor choices kept us in the game when they were turning the screws on us.
Small margins. well done to NZ for a massive contest, as always and the respect shown by by teams is unmatched in world rugby today.
Discipline is part of the game. Is it right that some players get injured and there is no punishment? If it applies to Springbok it must apply to everyone. We missed Mapimpi because of dangerous tackles. Come on! 🇿🇦
Ask the families of players suffering from dementia or other conditions due to head knocks? There is no choice and he was a bit unlucky but there was contact and it was dangerous.
Thank you for your great coverage. I am a South African and relieved that we won. This was a weird World Cup that no one could have predicted.
Funny that someone called it in May, saying the Boks will beat NZ by 1 in the final.
@@riri1718 Who?
Thank you for the journey Tim!! Love your work! Bless you and travel safe
Great game! NZ people can be super proud of their team hanging with SA with 14 men through most of the game and dealing with the bomb squad, their scrum NEVER buckled! What grit and determination.

As a proud Bok supporter, what a team, total belief, we had the hardest road to travel and pure guts and determination got us through! PSTD an absolute legendary performance!!
You got a fan for life on this channel. Such a pleasure to listen to unbiased analyses. Well played to the All Blacks. This was a fitting final for probably the best World Cup ever
What a contrast you are to that fellow on Virgin Media, Matt Williams. So balanced and unbiased. Well done on your cast! Are you going to do more games?
Agreed! ❤
Just a thought Tim - I have watched as many videos as I could get my hands on after this game and have not come across a single negative comment and that is as monumental as this final was. Perhaps do a video on this level of respect and rivalry between these two great rugby nations. I am especially humbled by how the New Zealand supporters are congratulating the South Africans. Massive respect and the greatest rugby world cup final this world has ever seen to date.
Probably want to avoid twitter 🤦 there's stil a lot of respect but the usual moans about ref decisions are still fairly prevalent. Not sure if it's actual AB supporters or folks who just love to moan. Absolutely loved Tim's channel and the positivity it brings though!
Not come across a single negative comment? Are you blind? Boet, there are negative comments on this very video.
Go onto any World Rugby vid, and with just a few scrolls you'll find them. And all say the same thing.
It is honestly ridiculous.
As a Springbok fan, I'm delighted beyond words. But the game is in trouble with this video ref.
It was a hard loss as a Kiwi. Gutted as an AB fan but congratulations to the Boks. Now that I’ve calmed down, I felt the difference came to the Coaches. I’m going to be honest and don’t want too much criticism but I have always had doubts about Fozzie but felt like he was learning on the job. Rassie was always inventive with his bomb squad and his game plan. Meanwhile Fozzie was still subbing off in form players such as Aaron Smith and Richie Mounga . I always wanted Sam Whitelock to be Captain but at the end of the day the better team won.
What alot of crap about Foster........S.A didn't win the game, we lost it. Plenty of times the 50:50 calls went against us (TMO and the Ref), no doubt Sam deserved a red card, but so did Kalisi as well.....his head clash was alot worse than Sams.
We simply didn't kick the ball over, and for 40 mins in the second half we dominated the spring boks........but they managed to hang in their......without Foster we wouldn't have been in the finals......so get over this bs that he was learning on the job.......he coached them brilliantly, we just didn't get the bounce of the ball today.
@@Designsecrets Truth is I blame the NZRU rather than Fozzie who seems a genuine guy. But the way the NZRU behind closed doors selected him, then stabbed him in the back, had more secret meetings and sacked him before the end of the RWC, I’d be sacking the CEO and entire board and starting again.
@@Brucemcleod2345 completely agree.the clown show they put on with the ceo and razor was belittling and did nothing to 'put the all black team first'.......it was all about egos, which Fozzie doesn't have. I feel for him as I thought he'd done more than enough to give us the best team.....and they tried, but the ref, the kicks, the weather.....just all the little things, didn't work out this time.
@@Designsecrets Agree. If there is any blame it goes on the NZRU
Now we get all the kiwi whinging Fossie ,razor bla bla bla 😢
From Cape Town : a wild night, Tim thanks so much for the wonderful ride throughout this World Cup. I loved all the videos - and your tour of the country and the competition. Also your tour of the Van you were staying in was class.
To the game of rugby : what a triumph. Now I just hope that the sport grows - it’s quite complex to access the game as a newcomer , with all the rules and laws. But tonight was messy. Gruesome. Brutal. Powerful. Tense.
All blacks were incredible. Always respect them. They’re the best team in the history of the sport. We may be world champions - but we do it with much respect and appreciation for the Kiwis.
Much love all!
You're an absolute class act, Tim. How fantastic to enjoy your channel the last 6 or more weeks and hearing sober, incisive, informed commentary that cuts above all the noise of partisanship that's so often the want of media scribes and others on the mass platforms. The ones who are out there, feeding the frenzied feelings of their audiences instead of calling it for the truth it is. You're in this for the love of the game, spreading knowledge of the sport and how to be a REAL fan of it, regardless of one's nationality. Just now I watched the recriminatory comments of a Sky Sports reporter pouring rubbish on refereeing decisions and referencing the disputed Kriel tackle in the Scotland game against the backdrop of Kriel now being the victim of a "similar" tackle by Cane in this Final. Then Martin Johnson of all people states on BBC Sport that we should be asking how the AB captain stayed off the field when the SA captain was allowed back on. Talk about skew-eyed! Tim, keep keeping it real and keep doing it for the love of the game! You've brought much joy the last few weeks.
Barnes was fine, the bunker and the TMO need to be restricted to requests for review. Seriously what is the purpose of a ref on the field if he keeps getting called back. But congratulations to SA, well deserved and a great tournament
I wish I could give this comment multiple likes! I just want most of the decisions to be made by the ref, full stop.
Barnes awarded a penalty against Savea, then admitted he was wrong, but still allowed SA to kick 3 points. What is fine about that?
@@SuperEdge67I really dont understand that. Presumably a ‘protocol’ issue. When we come back multiple phases for minor things I really dont understand it.
It was horrific. The refereeing was utterly fucking disgraceful.
@SuperEdge67 I said he was fine, not perfect. Maybe the TMO or bunker should have corrected him were in his ear for pretty much the rest of the game. I am a kiwi fan trying hard not to go on a rant, and I honestly thought his game was generally fine. As Tim said, that didn't cost us the game, my concern was more a long-term thing, these non-field referees are going to kill the game unless they are roped in.
You’re a class act Tim. Thank you for all the reviews and commentary throughout the RWC. You’ve been a joy to watch. All the best for the future mate👊🏻
Hey Tim, one of the things I’ll remember about this world cup is your introduction to the rugby fraternity. Your videos have been so insightful and non biased from start to finish, and have been my first to watch after each game. Well done for the hard work and enjoy the rest! 🇿🇦🙌
100% agree with your analysis. Love the channel and happy to see how it’s grown this year, particularly during the World Cup. You seem to be better more views than much bigger channels.
Hey Tim - I was going to hang around after the game and see if I can at least say hi. But haven’t slept since Thursday and it was raining Etc, so I decided to hit the road.
Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful content throughout the tournament. Going to feel weird not to watch Eggchasers every day. Looking forward to what you’ve got planned for the channel.
Fantastic RWC coverage from Eggchasers. It was my go too site. Loved the emotion and analysis.
Thank You
Not all hero’s wear capes ….They wear the Green and Gold! These guys are absolute legends and have made our nation so proud!
I have no words. I'm just so relieved that we pulled it through. 4-Time world champions. GO BOKKE!!!
The AB's is our greatest rival and they gave us a real fight until the 81st minute.
YNWA Bokke!!!
Tim, your coverage was a class apart! Thank you for sharing your love for our game! I’m a SA fan, but huge respect for our biggest enemies, NZ 👏
I love Aaron Smith after the game, he seemed so content with his journey. Today he just seemed to have simply enjoyed playing rugby, he's had an incredible journey and a wonderful game to end on
Officials were good - probably the best this World Cup. Pressure was on them and they performed - best thing was that they allowed the game to flow. Wayne Barnes is currently the best Ref in the world in my humble opinion.
😂😂😂
You’re completely delusional. Did you hear Barnes say to Savea that he got the penalty wrong??… love the Boks but honestly that was shameful.
Barnes and the TMO had a great game for SA
Not if you are a kiwi he’s not good at all
Hahaha
Once again Tim, salute, comments on point...respect to New Zealand...for our Bokke...we are so proud of you...thank you and a job well done..VIVA AMABOKKE VIVA
Salute both teams for an epic final 🎉
Another great post Tim. Thank you.
Great job Tim. You really added loads of colour to to this WC
The All Blacks are an amazing team. We are proud to have played you and you fought like soldiers. ❤ from South Africa ❤❤❤
