SPRINGBOKS: Pieter-Steph du Toit & Kurt-Lee Arendse after the win over Ireland at Loftus

[@henk_iii]

PSDT's English has improved massively, good job.

[@mthunziphakathi4215]

The interview with Jim Hamilton surprised the heck out of me.

[@crankSOLO]

Made me laugh Leka now. Ja some of the Afrikaans boys really battle with speaking English. But that’s just how it goes in SA.

[@lm_b5080]

he's been living in japan; pretty sure english is easier to learn than japanese tbf

As if improving your English is the most important thing in the world

[@mthunziphakathi4215]

@@janbotha6882 Most of us are surprised because we have hardly heard him speak the language. Iv only ever heard him speak in Afrikaans.

[@knowmean]

Well done lads. You and the team have made the whole country so very proud. Wish you guys all the best.

[@user-ls3vp5gv7n]

Really good game from an Irish point of view to watch 40 of the best players in the world to perform like that what a pleasure what a rugby memory to have these games should be treasured win loose or draw mighty stuff

[@CptRumcan]

People were saying pollard would be the difference but it was kolbe chasing lost causes who won it for them

Again

[@aidanmasterson50]

It was three tries all. So how did you win again?

Pollard will be better next weekend. But i wont mind a Sasha starting

Well done Boyz, first proper test since world cup. Pollard allowed an off day , his been a pillar.

[@rodericksmith9675]

I love mr “South Africa” that’s Pollard….. but it’s Sacha’s time they achieve so much in the last 8 years I think Sacha needs to start plz Rassie ❤

[@mercy903]

I agree with you, Sacha should start when playing with other teams. However I think we would not risk excluding Pollard when playing with our biggest rival Ireland.

[@rodericksmith9675]

@@mercy903 yes 100 never leave pollard out I’m just saying start Sacha, the time is right now…. Pollard can come on around 60 mins…. Pollard has achieved so much I just think in a big game like this with Ireland put Sacha to start…. You must just hear what Rassie said before the first test “ id rather take 4 world cups” yes winning important and I know Rassie he had unfinished business especially that group match after the game “in your head song” and cocky Irish players saying see you in the final….
I’m telling you the time is now that kid is hungry it wouldn’t surprise me if they start him on Saturday he is ready just watch him he will be the best in history I belieeeeeeee that ❤️😂😂😂👍🏼

[@1kmkmkmkm]

Continuity and offloading the ball it's something great but with both hands.... you have control recycling and keeping phases going forward and offcause support and quick hands from the scrummie

[@messiahette]

Well done to the lads for a great win.
Fully agreed chewing bubble gum at an international press conference is a no go. Some healthy guidance is and protocols are required.
Go Bokke

[@HannoVisagie]

How on earth did Saru not tell KLA to not address the public while chewing gum.

[@derickbroughall8486]

Ireland lost first test in New Zealand. Then fixed a few issues and won the series. If they do same against South Africa and win the second test. Why is it not a 3 test series?????

[@GysbertDewet]

So tier 2 Nations can get games against tier 1 nations.

[@janbotha6882]

@@derickbroughall8486 it's not a three test series because a whitewash is so much brutal three weekends in a row.

[@wouterswanepoel5753]

The Irish have perfected contesting the rucks from an offside position. At least one of their backrow is always offside, hanging around the edges of a ruck, unbound, and not behind their own players' last line of feet. Hence the immense pressure they placed on Faf. Next weekend's officials need to be made aware of that.

[@EolasColas]

The officials only refereed Ireland. SA got every 50/50 and beyond. Cannot believe bok are unhappy with aspects as you got every decision

[@derekallan1341]

@@EolasColas dry your eyes, there were plenty of calls that should have been made against you and weren't. Let's not go down that road because in the previous 3 matches there were some horrific decisions given to the irish.

[@wouterswanepoel5753]

@@derekallan1341 The Boks don't have to dry their eyes mate. They not only won every stat, they also won the match and proved beyond any doubt that they are, as the reigning World Champs (twice in a row and for the unprecedented 4th time), the No 1 side in the world ... by a considerable margin. They would have won the match by a much bigger margin had the Irish backrow been penalised consistently. And then, of course, they were also experimenting with a new game plan (thanks to Tony Brown) which is still a work in progress, but will be tip-top by the time they win their third world title in a row in 2027.

Journo has a dig at debutant Jaime Osbourne while crediting Arendse with the best Springbok try, when in reality the best try of the game was scored by Jaime Osbourne.

[@user-jw4yc3ec6y]

He caught a ball and dived over the line - are you new to the game.

[@aidanmasterson50]

@@user-jw4yc3ec6y Arendse stepped one guy. Im not new to the game and I won’t insult you for an honest opinion. For me Tries are about the build up also. Bit more handling skill involved in that one but hey we are both biased.

[@derekallan1341]

that's your opinion. The best try of the game was credited to the Bok scrum.

[@aidanmasterson50]

@@derekallan1341 by who? They kick the ball out of their own scrum before crossing the line. The try was actually dependent of the refs interpretation. Personally I’d pick any of the other tries to that one. I’m actually prepared to concede Arendse try was the best one of the game on that basis.

[@derekallan1341]

@@aidanmasterson50 The best try was the Boks scrum try. Even he knew that that's why he gave a penalty try.

[@stevewalker121]

Better questions please journos, some are cringeworthy, thx. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@seloaneronald2462]

Rassie wanted this game to close the world and Irish mouth about who is the currently. He is going for swip series next week. If we were playing 6 nation by now we were going to win it. Is so weak, if u beat Ireland u r 6nation champion. After thus series it means we are world , super rugby and 6 nation champions bc we would have beaten all back, Ireland who often wins super rugby, 6nation and world cup.

[@Alias-gy3tz]

We don't want to play in the 6 nations. As for the rest of your comment, you can only claim to have won a competition that you actually played in, and won. ;)

[@oswaldbarnes5861]

Two Irish disallowed tries? And you said you had a good game. Let me comment, no, I don't think so.
