Eddie Jones is a legend. Helped us win the World Cup in 2007, took Japan to it's highest peak, took England to it's highest peak since 2003. Made bad decisions with Australia and now some nobodies on the internet think they can talk shyt about him
I am a die hard Wallabies fan - who was around when EJ took over the Wallabies from Rod Macqueen - EJ got booted from the Wallabies - he loved NRL players - took over as Reds coach but was never around -and had so much to say how about how bad the players were - tell me what really did Eddie for the Bokke - Jake White was the man who did it - EJ has never won a world cup - close but no cigar - he is f con artist..
@LittleBigMediaCo He may not speak for you, but he does speak for at least 80% of the country. I am glad there is "little" in your name. There are so much "little" about this comment. Grow up and aim higher. You will be surprised about the outcome. You may actually grow up to be a desent human that can play nice.
Not so perfect considering that racial quotas are enforced not only by the government, but also by Rugby SA ... hence 400 Saffers are now plying their trade overseas. I'm absolutely all for integration on merit, but for every quota player representing South Africa there is a deserving player being robbed of the opportunity to represent his country. Excuse me, but if that's perfect, then perfect has lost its meaning.
it sounds good but Eddie doesn't know what he is talking about. SA teams have had players from all walks of life for many years. They were just managed poorly or the rugby game plan was not as sound. Rassie knows what he is doing that is why the team is so successful. it has nothing to do with "inclusivity" or defeating racism. the 1995 world cup champs didn't have much "diversity" and SA still managed to win. Alistair Coetzee had a very "racially diverse" squad and that squad couldn't win anything. Eddie's argument sounds nice but its silly to say that having a more diverse team has led to success. That is foolish
@@awbglover Do NOT forget that the (utterly racist) QUOTA target set by both the SA Government and SA Rugby is 60% players of colour by 2030 ... despite the fact that less than 20% of the total SA player pool are players of colour. That can in NO way whatsoever be "almost" perfect. It is much rather "utterly racist and completely wrong".
I believe the edge we have over the world is our schoolboy rugby. People don't understand the intensity, dedication and absolute love that's pumped into that by fans and players. That's the foundation of our talent base. Rugby is religion is South Africa.
I agree and as a Glasgow and Scotland supporter I have seen the difference that South African has brought to my country and team. You don’t get like that at professional level that’s from school and when you are first come into contact with Rugby taught with passion. Franco Smith has brought a South African mentality to Glasgow and we are all grateful and happy that he has. All the best to the Boks in the Rugby Championship and we will see you in November where I am sure for one game take least we will bring you back to ground at Murrayfield.
If you do some research and read a few books along with stories from the 2007 SA players then you will realize that this guy was one of the main reasons for the Springboks success in the WC in 2007. He was the technical advisor and had a MASSIVE role in the way we played. He is a special coach even the controversy surrounding his way of coaching (Spoke to a few guys that coached with him and he can be very demanding and arrogant). Japan and England is also a great example of his success if he gets his way...
SA is forever indebted to Eddie for his help in us winning the RWC in France - no matter what he has done with other teams for instance when he coached Japan to beat SA or the failure he had more recently with Australia - we owe him for his part in bringing us back with Jake White into top level rugby.
Eddie Jones !! Despite what others say and despite you being behind the Miracle in Brighton, i will always respect (and thank you) you for helping us get the 2007 RWC!
I don't know about everyone else, but I've always found Eddie Jones to be very interesting and entertaining. I always listen to whatever he has to say and he is absolutely right about the Boks. Going back to the foundation of traditional Bok rugby has been the key to our success. You can't beat these great teams by just imitating them. The coaches come up with a game plan that will target the weakness or weaknesses of the opposition. We stick to our guns and make adjustments whenever necessary.
I cannot believe you swallowed the hogwash Eddie spewed in this because he didn't have a real answer with many facts. Tell us who came after Pieter De Villers ... was it really Rassie? And please. name the supposed 16 teams that Eddie claims were playing in the Currie Cup? While on the Currie Cup, when last did that have any relevance to the Bok team or players? Also, when we won the RWC in 2019 we were in Super Rugby ... we've only transitioned our 4 main franchises to URC since the 2021-2022 season, proof that it has almost nothing to do with why the boks are winning. Eddie is just using word salad, and you please are eating it all up.
@user-tj8ox8iy8m 'They generally prefer to select white captains" You do know that the population of NZ is generally white and so to the All blacks right? Thats like saying "the sea generally has water in it". Savea has never been an international captain and was overlooked because Scott Robertson the coach knows Scott Barrett from captaining the Crusaders. Also Ardie was World player of the year. Captaincy is simply another distraction on his playing. Also ardie is vice captain, his experience is not lost.
@user-tj8ox8iy8m Ha ha ha calling the kettle black sheesh you boks supporters have morphed into something that's not becoming of you since you've gotten rid of appartite. There may be some truth in what you are suggesting but hey there's not a lot we can do about it cause if we suggest that we just get laughed at. What used to happen in your country during apartheid that person would have been beaten to death.
Just came on here to say how grateful I am to Eddie for giving us some great years since we hosted our own World Cup in 2015 . Had some amazing wins and though I thought we should have gone again with Stuart Lancaster and Andy Farrell , Eddie gave us such great confidence when he took over. Also he’s helped Steve Borthwick become the great coach , that I think he will become . Cheers Eddie 🏴🍺
One thing that stood out which Eddie said. The Springboks were transferred from an Afrikaner team to a diverse team of white and black players that play for each other.
@mazibukomail true, but the pro's coming through the system are mostly white. Rugby is transformed in South Africa, but the demographics will take much longer. The best way to get more black players into the top systems will be through economic upliftment. I'll telling you, these afrikaans boys start their rugby careers in primary school. Their mothers are investing major time, money and energy into getting extra coaching and driving them to practices. If the black community becomes as prosperous, then they too can decide if they want to have stay at home wives who can run after their kids. Obviously I'm generalising, there are plenty black kids and english kids getting the same privileged upbringing. But there's an extra level of generational rugby madness that is more common amongst afrikaans speaking communities.
@henkstols9326 if the ANC didn't want to share then Rupert and other white billionaires would exist.we would have a pro white agriculture and fisheries
I'm a Afrikaans guy fully bred South african. And I'm one off the biggest Springbok supporters don't ever question that. But I just can't help it I LOVE Eddie Jones. Just have to say that I have got the world's Respect for Uncle Eddie Jones. What a Man and for ever a LEDGEND in my eyes. The man will deserve a state funeral one day. I wish I can meet uncle Eddie and just talk with him for 5 minutes. I'll die a happy man.
Glad he could win a gold medal with the Springboks. Gets a lot of hate but has achieved some brilliant things in rugby. Knocking the All Blacks out of 2 world cups is impressive.
How could Australia let him go.... given the armor of this man, his skills, his love for this game and his own nation.... Eddie, you are absolute gem, this sport owes you the world of respect. You are so precious with your knowledge.
Unle Edie Jones I'm a born and bred South Afrinacn. And probably one of Uncle Eddie's biggest fans when it comes to Rugby. BUT springboks for ever. But we bow to you uncle Eddie Jones. And this from a Springbok fan for ever. Respect uncle Eddie Jones. What a Man and what a rugby legend. From a South African love you Unle Eddie.
@LittleBigMediaCo he did wonders with a weak English team, as well as a fierce Japanese team ask us bok supporters. Not to mention the great attack he brought to our 2007 winning world champs!
He's a liar, an egomaniac, and he literally screwed over key hard working and deserving Aussie players who deserved to be in the 2023 RWC squad ... for his disaster squad of players hadn't earned their spots to go crashing out in the pool stages. Seriously Gert, you need a dose of reality and some fact checking.
Knowing how to apply diversity to its strengths in SA Rugby is the reason why Rassie and Neil Powell were so successful and Eddie Jones saw it first hand.
What may interest Eddie is that in the last WC2024 full squad only one player (Bongi) of Springbok side went to a private school.Then only for last two years.
South African teams are so diversified that it is easy for cracks to develop, especially when on tour (which may explain some of the massive losses we have had when the divisions got too big). Differences in culture, religion, ethnicity, and some really bad blood between all of them in the past. Any prima donna attitudes, cliques and egos will create cracks that can split that team apart. Rassie keeps it personal, he feels and understands everyone's points of view, and he understands how easy it is for cracks to happen. He also understands that when this team acts with love and respect for each other, and shows that they can achieve excellence together by using their differences NOT as a weakness but as a strength, they show the rest of the country how to go forward. THAT is why the Boks are so important to SA.
I don’t watch rugby a lot but he mentioned a very important point, believing in your own traditional style of play because every player and coach in the system knows that , don’t do what you not good at , love and believe in your style. It’s the same thing in football.
South Africa Bok supporter. We don't care what colour the player is, put on the green and gold jersey and they have to be world class. No comparison between our rugby and our soccer (football) team, who just do not shape in world football. Just the pride of wearing that Springbok jersey. I have seen school children playing rugby bare footed where frost decks the field.
SA IS OBSESSED WITH WINNINGS, SPRINGBOKS ARE LIKE SUPER HEROS IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 RASSIE, A RUGBY 🏉 GOD 🤯🤯🤯🤯🏉🏉🏉❤❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 IT'S LIKE AMERICAN NFL+BASKETBALL COMBINED, THE STATUES
If this man could traverse understanding of Rugby via telepathy into the darkest ambient of the mind of a Rugby player, Eddie would be King, and his players would be Champs.

"The perfect picture of how we should live our lives" - Eddie Jones in context regarding why the Springboks are such a special team (What more is there to say?)
When you see the talent on display at Craven week you understand. SA has a conveyor belt of talent. Our boys are also tough (look at The hurdles Siya had to overcome). People underestimate how united we can be though, beyond Rugby, the fact that we didn’t spiral into civil war after 1990 & 1994 is incredible. For all our meme’s, etc 😅 we are incredibly tough people and the Springboks embody that. The only nation on par with us is the All Blacks (New Zealand are highly respected). Everybody else is playing second fiddle
Anyone who knows the history of South Africa and South African rugby will know, when you put on that green and gold, failure is not an option, victory is everything.
I think Eddie is spot in his analysis.. The Springboks are an incredible blend of Afrikaans, White English German/French/ Portuguese/ Colored and Black players.. A famous Kiwi Coach said around 10 years ago that he expected an incredible good South African side/s to start coming up and setting the tone/pace. He specifically mentioned the rich addition of black players who would in turn would add a new dimension to their game - safe to say he too, was spot on.. Now before everyone goes crazy, that doesn’t take away the best (in my opinion) playing side in the world: Ireland. Their training their methodical approach their you program and their rich provincial culture. The all blacks play like Brazil played football, in the 70s and 80s l, rich in flair and magic and flying with passion. The French are an incredible aide that almost look like they could dominate world rugby but crumble every time due to their own doing. I think we will see a dominant South Africa for a while.
I think you need to revisit the lies and factually incorrect information that spewed out of Eddies mouth. And there are no German/French/Portuguese players in the Boks, never have been either. The problem with knowing as little as you apparently do is that you'll swallow all the garbage Eddie is feeding you because you don't know any actual facts.
@@LittleBigMediaComaybe you need to revisit your comment and understand that South Africa has numerous different nations historically living there. White South Africans are not just from Dutch descent but as stated above. German, French, Portuguese etc
@@LittleBigMediaCo and to you sir I say, context history and read between the lines.. nothing offensive and or mal intent meant the comment section.. before you should from the hip, I kindly ask you try and understand what was actually meant Thanks and all the best to you
Here is some text as quoted by great men surrounding the south African Afrikaners or BOERS "Give me 20 divisions American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen, and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers (Meaning Farmer, originating from the Boer War) and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allled forces during WWII. "The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour and glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight; the Russians have no choice. The Germans for the Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George "Guts and Glory" Patton "Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the world. Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots, who gave up their name and left their country forever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable races ever seen upon the face of the earth. Take these formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances in which no weakling could survive; place them so that they acquire skill with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman and the rider. Then, finally, put a fine temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism. Combine all these qualities and all these impulses in one individual and you have the modern Boer." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Add unstoppable Zulu/Xhosa warriors, relentless Khoi/Malay hunters, thanks to Madiba and you have the Springbok 4 times, back to back world champions.😊
There is no doubt that World Cups suit the SA DNA, big brutal forwards that dominate the gain line, and collisions. This is what they do better than any other nation. Nobody does it better than the Bokke.
Respect for attempting a walk and talk interview.... But I dont know if I think it works. They both glace at the crew several times, which breaks the whole illusion...I found it distracting.

I don’t watch rugby a lot but he mentioned a very important point, believing in your own traditional style of play because every player and coach in the system knows that , don’t do what you not good at , love and believe in your style. It’s the same thing in football.
South Africans respect Eddie big time 🙏👍❤️
Big Jim. Alright mate.
Regards from a southern African in Scotland
No doubt. South Africa,s success starts at school level.
South Africa Bok supporter. We don't care what colour the player is, put on the green and gold jersey and they have to be world class. No comparison between our rugby and our soccer (football) team, who just do not shape in world football. Just the pride of wearing that Springbok jersey. I have seen school children playing rugby bare footed where frost decks the field.
Eddie ❤
Knuckles💯 great rugby brain
If you can see how the under 20s are performing it looks wow I think the future looks bright for the boks..
Anyone else feel like they’re watching Luke Skywalker interviewing Yoda?
Yoda's taller.
just watching to see if Eddie mistakenly says Hai-Hai instead of Yes-yes during the interview (Springbok here)
Not a single dislike on the vid, don't see that often.
Eddie is just to cool a man all the best with Japan all for a bok fan.
SA IS OBSESSED WITH WINNINGS, SPRINGBOKS ARE LIKE SUPER HEROS IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 RASSIE, A RUGBY 🏉 GOD 🤯🤯🤯🤯🏉🏉🏉❤❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 IT'S LIKE AMERICAN NFL+BASKETBALL COMBINED, THE STATUES
If this man could traverse understanding of Rugby via telepathy into the darkest ambient of the mind of a Rugby player, Eddie would be King, and his players would be Champs.
Danie Craven and Ian Kirkpatrick laid the foundations decades ago.
It started with Danie Craven. Springbok Player.
Huge respect for this legend.
Eddie Jones is a national hero in South Africa for what he did to Australian rugby. We salute you Eddie 🙌

You're trying to be edgy on the internet but Eddie Jones was the most crucial part of us winning the World Cup in 2007.
How are you dissing someone that won us our 2nd World Cup?..
@@blaquenguni9249 i thought you posted a picture of death so i posted the checered flag its black and white heaven or paridse im from sa hierdie enels is kak man ecuse my speeling
😂😂😂😂
Not a lot of people are fans of Eddie haha. For me though I actually think hes awesome 😄
Dr Dannie Craven is the mastermind behind the springbok system-
"The perfect picture of how we should live our lives" - Eddie Jones in context regarding why the Springboks are such a special team (What more is there to say?)
The schools rugby and support and motivation started many years ago with Dr Craven, he travelled all over South Africa sussing out the talent !
When you see the talent on display at Craven week you understand. SA has a conveyor belt of talent. Our boys are also tough (look at The hurdles Siya had to overcome). People underestimate how united we can be though, beyond Rugby, the fact that we didn’t spiral into civil war after 1990 & 1994 is incredible. For all our meme’s, etc 😅 we are incredibly tough people and the Springboks embody that. The only nation on par with us is the All Blacks (New Zealand are highly respected). Everybody else is playing second fiddle
Anyone who knows the history of South Africa and South African rugby will know, when you put on that green and gold, failure is not an option, victory is everything.
❤wow
I think Eddie is spot in his analysis..
The Springboks are an incredible blend of Afrikaans, White English German/French/ Portuguese/ Colored and Black players..
A famous Kiwi Coach said around 10 years ago that he expected an incredible good South African side/s to start coming up and setting the tone/pace. He specifically mentioned the rich addition of black players who would in turn would add a new dimension to their game - safe to say he too, was spot on..
Now before everyone goes crazy, that doesn’t take away the best (in my opinion) playing side in the world: Ireland. Their training their methodical approach their you program and their rich provincial culture. The all blacks play like Brazil played football, in the 70s and 80s l, rich in flair and magic and flying with passion. The French are an incredible aide that almost look like they could dominate world rugby but crumble every time due to their own doing.
I think we will see a dominant South Africa for a while.
I think you need to revisit the lies and factually incorrect information that spewed out of Eddies mouth.
And there are no German/French/Portuguese players in the Boks, never have been either.
The problem with knowing as little as you apparently do is that you'll swallow all the garbage Eddie is feeding you because you don't know any actual facts.
@@LittleBigMediaComaybe you need to revisit your comment and understand that South Africa has numerous different nations historically living there. White South Africans are not just from Dutch descent but as stated above. German, French, Portuguese etc
@@ConorOLeary-rl4bs thanks mate
@@LittleBigMediaCo and to you sir I say, context history and read between the lines.. nothing offensive and or mal intent meant the comment section..
before you should from the hip, I kindly ask you try and understand what was actually meant
Thanks and all the best to you
Here is some text as quoted by great men surrounding the south African Afrikaners or BOERS
"Give me 20 divisions American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen, and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers (Meaning Farmer, originating from the Boer War) and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allled forces during WWII.
"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour and glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight; the Russians have no choice. The Germans for the Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George "Guts and Glory" Patton
"Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the world. Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots, who gave up their name and left their country forever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable races ever seen upon the face of the earth. Take these formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances in which no weakling could survive; place them so that they acquire skill with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman and the rider. Then, finally, put a fine temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism. Combine all these qualities and all these impulses in one individual and you have the modern Boer." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Add unstoppable Zulu/Xhosa warriors, relentless Khoi/Malay hunters, thanks to Madiba and you have the Springbok 4 times, back to back world champions.😊
Great interview. Thank you, Eddie Jones, for your tireless contribution in SA when the Bokke won the 2007 World Cup.
South African Rugby is just that >> The Best Go Springboks
I don't think that Eddie is as clever as everybody makes it !!!!
there is softness
we are hard and soft
there is no contradiction, either or, it’s both
Pity so short
There is no doubt that World Cups suit the SA DNA, big brutal forwards that dominate the gain line, and collisions. This is what they do better than any other nation. Nobody does it better than the Bokke.
Respect for attempting a walk and talk interview.... But I dont know if I think it works. They both glace at the crew several times, which breaks the whole illusion...I found it distracting.
GO BOKKE
