The funniest part of the ABs complaining they were robbed in 2023 is the fact that they won in 2011 which we know was an actual rigged tournament. Referees literally got given free farms in NZ after the tournament for petes sake. Its absolutely no coincidence that the australia game against the boks is widely reguarded by the vast majority of fans as the worst display of refereeing in the professional game
Thank you so much, brother. I truly appreciate your support for my small channel-it means a lot. I’m also a huge fan of Tim from Egg Chaser, as well as the incredible work he’s done as both an analyst and rugby expert. I’ve learned so much from his insights, and I also respect the Kiwi lads, 2Cents, and Inside Rugby for their amazing content. Their videos have been a great source of inspiration, and I’ll always be grateful for the knowledge and love they share.
I appreciate it, brother. It’s all about unity, not division. We’re all equal, and no one is superior. Respecting one another and spreading love is what truly matters.
I think the rugby world is benefitting already from the next level rugby coached by Erasmus and played by this bunch of players. In so many ways the game has been taken to next levels by these Springboks! So be grateful for what they are bringing, learn from them. Already the use of the bench that so many pundits were howling in outrage about, is being adopted by all teams, they are all aspiring to having a bomb squad, perfectly within the rules of the game but not really focussed on before. Also the tactical planning is so meticulous and always innovative, and its always based on intense study of the opposition. The Boks calling a scrum from a mark to force the heavy French pack to run was a genius move, who knew before that the French forwards avoided running too much? I am enjoying rugby so much more since Rassie arrived on the scene, he is just so innovative! Greetings from Cape Town.
I completely agree with you brother-there’s something truly special about the way the Springboks play. Their style is a testament to why they’re champions. The tactical brilliance, especially with Rassie’s “bomb squad,” is pure genius. Smart rugby and a solid game plan will always take you far. Sending warm regards from New Zealand. Much love and God bless. ❤️🙏
Love your program mate Im a SA supporter in SA,my Family stay in Christchurch and i visited and love your country and respect your rugby culture .. SA stood up thanks to the genius of Rassie(i played against him on the Craven week) I think Hansen fired up the Spingboks for that Auckland test..Rassie will see that as a world cup final so buckle Up..
Thank you, my brother. I truly appreciate your kind words and compliments. I’m equally excited for the upcoming clash between our mighty Springboks and All Blacks-it’s always a battle to look forward to. Wishing you and your family all the best. God bless. ❤️🙏
The AB's lost the WCF 23 by making a few poor decisions. They could have won , it was close but the AB's can only blame themselfs. Had the AB's triumphed, I would be saying the Boks lost it. They could have won it. Its great seeing the top 4 or 5 being so close.
Absolutely, it’s great to see other teams stepping up and challenging us-it’s healthy for the game. I’m incredibly proud of what the Springboks have achieved both last year and this year. Even with some inconsistent form and losses to Argentina and Ireland they remain one of the best teams and still have the ability to win games
I am a South African and obviously a great Bok fan. You, brother, are now one of my biggest heroes! We also had two fairly deserved yellow cards in that game and still won. New Zealand will come back and just become stronger again. It is always an honour and nerve wracking to play against you. Mr Hansen should not take away from your noble name with his statements. ❤
I really appreciate your kind words, brother. As an All Blacks supporter, I’ve always had immense respect for South Africa. Growing up, my dad and I would watch every South African game at 2am, and we’d also follow the Super 14 when the South African teams were a real force-those were some incredible times. I’ve always held that respect for you guys, and it's clear you deserve to be at the top of the world. I’m looking forward to our upcoming game on home soil; it will be a tough challenge, but win or lose, my respect for South Africa will remain unchanged. Much love and God bless the Springboks.
The calculated crocodile roll on Mbonambi deprived the Boks of lineout possession, and nullified their dangerous attack. So they won the only way they could. Relentless, heroic defence. Say hi to Jordy Barret.
Haha, I appreciate your perspective, brother! I completely agree-the Springboks won fair and square, and they deserve all the credit. Much respect to our South African brothers for their victory!
It deprived us of lineout possession, without which the Boks could not consistently attack. So they won the only way they could. Defending their hearts out.
@ Exactly, we had the momentum, but as you said, we couldn’t handle the intensity of South Africa’s defense. They truly dominated, and I have nothing but respect for them.
@@ritzemaritzema-xo4dz I can’t believe as a rugby fan you want ,and are calling for more send offs. I never want a win against the Boks unless it’s 15 vs 15. And fair down to the last minute. I don’t blame the Boks at all for the RWC loss. Turned up played hard and won. But calling for more red cards is just weird. You Bok supporters would feel the same way if the roles were reversed and lost a World Cup.
For Uncle Steve Hansen to say the Mighty All Blacks were robbed is to imply the Bokke were in cahoots with the Referee and TMO connived to throw the game in favor of the Bokke. Does he has any EVIDENCE for that? SARU plus the IRB Referees Association must sue Steve Hansen. New Subscriber here From Namibia. Thanks for your levelheaded approach to the matter. Respect.
I agree, there’s no solid evidence to suggest we were robbed. Much respect to you all, and I’m confident that even greater things are on the horizon for the mighty Boks. 💪🏽❤️ thank you my brother for subscribing to my tiny channel much appreciated the love and support.
Yes they are all against the All Black's, their Haka, their winning record against all countries, their rugby style, the list goes on, they all hate us little colonials of 4 and a half million, and they're all bigger than us, but we don't give a didley squat, and so we end up winning more against them than us, that must piss them off heaps
Actually in my opinion the game was pretty evenly matched any one of the 2 team could have taken the game. right up till the 80th minute no one could say who had that game in the bag. Hanson saying AB where robbed is saying Boks were weaker and did not deserve the win. It does not matter how good the Boks are there will always be those that think its undeserved. Strange how the Springboks and coaching staff are always so respectful when it comes to opposing teams yet dont get the same in return.
@@saiyandemonisher I agree, it could’ve gone either way, but the Springboks were undoubtedly the better team. We should definitely show respect to our opponents for their performance.
I'm a die hard Springbok,huge respect for the mighty All Blacks but comment of Steve Hansen is unthoughtful and unprofessional as a former All Black coach...😢
@@isakclaassen8573 Exactly, I wasn’t expecting that kind of comment from our own, honestly. 🤦🏽 Regardless, full respect to the Springboks-they are the world champions, no question. Their achievement speaks for itself.
Saffas one and all admired Steve Hanson. But his going the same way as John Kirwan, whinging about the Springboks is really detracting for a great man.
The AB's had the final in their own hands. They didn't make their kicks and the Boks did. That's simply the reality between winning and losing. It was a great match between two very determined teams but there can only be one winner.
@@riyaadrhoda3990 I hear you, tough break for the All Blacks, but as you said, it’s time to move on. In the end, there’s only one winner, and that’s the mighty Springboks. Their strength and consistency speak for themselves. 💪🏽🖤
Wow, awesome take brother! Humility will bring the all blacks back to the top. Remember we as South Africans were humbled for for 20 years by you lads!! Respect is the key
Absolutely, the All Blacks will certainly bounce back. I’m looking forward to next year on home soil-it's going to be incredible. That said, much respect to our South African brothers for their performance. They truly earned it.
Sad day when a hero like Steve resorts to such disappointing sour comments. Perhaps he is tired of sitting at home and needs a job again, when Razor gets fired and needs to oil up AB rugby. Really thought more of this guy. Also, AB's had terrible discipline for some time now and they pay the price... Sour grapes in my view
Mate Steve Hansen had one of the greatest generations of All Blacks. Easy for him to criticize Scott. Springboks are going through a golden era now. I think the ABs are on the up and are still a powerhouse. Next year is gonna be great. The wheel turns.
I agree, sometimes it's best for the All Blacks to take a step back and allow other teams, like South Africa, to dominate for a while. Respecting their achievements and letting them reign as champions can be a healthy acknowledgment of their strength, while giving the All Blacks time to refocus and build for the future.
I didn't hear SH comment. As a South African I always had great respect for him and Graham Henry. Two giants of the game. Everyone forgets the massive forward pass in the 2007 quarter finals by France against ABs. If that was blown ABs would have won that game and probably 2007 WC.
I agree, our nation here in New Zealand could benefit from a bit of humility in defeat. We need to respect our brothers, as the Springboks truly deserve their moment. Big respect for Hansen and Sir Graham Henry-they are giants of the game. However, it would be great to see Hansen show a bit more grace towards the Springboks for their achievements. And also Scott Robertson.
Thanks for your respectfulness. I can really admire your maturity much as it's not cool at all to lose a final. We lost a t 20 final against India and it was not cool but we gotta move on. It's sports and it's life. Cheers🥂
I appreciate that, brother. You're right-we need to focus on good sportsmanship and supporting each other. There are bigger things to worry about than rugby, but at the end of the day, it’s about showing respect for the world champions, South Africa. Full stop.
@@rugbyanalyst1 Indeed, he should have the insight to handle this situation more effectively, especially considering his extensive experience coaching some of the best teams of his era. With such a wealth of knowledge and a track record of success, one would expect a higher level of strategic awareness and decision-making, particularly in high-pressure scenarios. It’s surprising that someone with his background wouldn’t be more attuned to the nuances of this situation, given that he’s been at the helm of teams that have set benchmarks for excellence. That France game was definitely a robbery in my eyes so I agree. 🤦🏽
@@lukenemeth Not just one specific call however as it turns minute 75 there is a ridiculous no call on Kaino off his feet in the ruck then Hore is offside. Crazy non decision, was a very poor refereeing performance - it was clear he didn't want to make a call down the stretch to potentially make NZ lose at home in the final.
@ Absolutely, I agree with you. The 1995 Rugby World Cup semi-final between the All Blacks and South Africa was a defining moment in rugby history. Led by captain Sean Fitzpatrick, New Zealand went into that match as heavy favorites, but South Africa, under the leadership of Francois Pienaar, delivered a historic performance. The game was a brutal, tightly contested affair, with both teams displaying immense resilience. In the end, South Africa triumphed 15-12, largely due to a combination of solid defense and tactical kicking from Joel Stransky, whose drop goal in the final minutes secured the win. It was a crushing defeat for the All Blacks, who were left to reflect on missed opportunities and mistakes, particularly the controversial last-minute disallowed try. For South Africa, the victory was not just about rugby; it symbolized the unification of the nation post-apartheid, with Nelson Mandela famously donning the Springbok jersey in a powerful display of reconciliation. The match remains one of the most iconic in World Cup history.
The Brazilian national soccer team, dominated soccer for years, mesmerising teams with amazing flamboyant soccer, then as the years rolled on, other teams studied them and Brazil found the going tough to the point where they are no longer the same team that put fear in other teams. That is what has happened to the All Blacks, The Boks will have their run of success but as history shows us, other teams will catch up and over take them. So let's just enjoy the All Blacks and the Boks and all good rugby, because they are all putting their bodies on the line week in week out.
@@greggalant7543 I agree, bro. No team stays unbeaten forever. Just like the Brazil soccer team, the All Blacks' dominance in rugby has come to an end, and it's time we accept that and give credit to the mighty Springboks for their superiority.
Good honest vlog, respect from SA! Not to mention, look at the teams we had to topple on our way to the cup. We were consistently on form. Hansen lost my respect. Be humble in victory and graceful in defeat. He is just sour grapes now. And, he stands alone in his position on this matter.
Before 1994 SA entered the world rugby stage they studied their opponents from day one very carefully. They knew everything about the AB ,England, France and Australia and every Irish team players. SO, THE BAR WAS RAISED HIGH FOR THE SPRINGBOKS. That's why when the two SA fans raised a flag at the final of the AUSTRALIA and England RWC which said 'You ai'nt the World Champions until you beat the Springboks ' sent a chilling warning to WR if the Springboks would be welcomed back into the WR stage there would be an all out war. For each WC Final SA played ,the bar was raised higher and 2023 was just the epitome, the pinacle of success at the WR final stage. Yes, THE SPRINGBOKS IS THE MOST HATED TEAM IN THE WORLD; THEY BREAK RULES .Oh and might I add they do not play 'according to the spirit of the game.' Mr HANSEN should accept the better team won on that night. The AB had many chances and mistake they made was thinking because they beat Ireland with the game plan they had it might have worked against the Springboks, wrong.
wow, youre a better man than i am, being a springbok supporter i salute you for your post, i really cant honestly say that i would be as open as you are if we had lost and our coach made excuses, well done sir
@@jamesleeching3125 Hey my friend, thank you so much for your kind words, I truly appreciate it. I have the utmost respect for our Springbok brothers-they absolutely deserve to win. I always try to be honest in my videos, and that’s just me staying true to who I am. Much love from New Zealand, and respect to South Africa. 🏆🇿🇦🖤.
I think the AB's played heroically, the problem throughout the tournament was their discipline. Clearly Foster put time and effort into getting the AB's to play well with a man down. Instead he should have put the time in, on how to tackle according to the new laws. 2024 the AB's discipline has been good so clearly Robertson has done the work there.
@@adrianyoungman I completely agree-while we had every opportunity, we ultimately fell short. Much respect to the South Africans for their resilience and achievements.
Thank you mate it could have gone anyway,I didn’t appreciate what Hansen had to say I’m a Saffa but rugby is a great game and you have a great heart if New Zealand had won ,I would have been very happy to watch a spectacle of giants of men honing what they do
Thank you, my friend. I’m just acknowledging the facts-South Africa was the better team, and we have to respect that. Looking forward to our next encounter at Eden Park next year; it’s sure to be an epic showdown between two giants of the game. 🖤💪🏽
As a Bok fan. We honestly didnt think we would winit again. Happy we did. We know how hard it can be when u not dominating. We can easily fall back to those hard times. Theres no guarentee that we will win like this again come the next world cup. ABs will also be in the mix next time around
@@frankvsnschalkwyk6030 Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kind words. They mean a great deal to me. Your support really lifts my spirits, and I’m grateful for it.
As a Bok supporter I always can't wait for the All Blacks vs Springbok games!! I never miss them. The rest of the rugby nations I do not care about. Win or loose against them do not cut as deep as a loss to the Mighty All blacks!!!! It is just different.
I hear you, my brother. That’s the beauty of the game-when it’s All Blacks vs Springboks, it’s on a whole different level. With all due respect, I truly appreciate what the Springboks have achieved; they’ve earned every bit of it.
Enjoyed the analysis - AB's still a dominant team despite some setbacks the past two seasons. They caused other teams to improve their game - AB's must remember that being at the top means that everyone is out to take you down. Beating the Kiwi's, as a saffa, is still cherry on the cake despite our current status and successes.
Many of the old guard in N Z rugby have not grasped the fact that it is now a professional game and money drives it. It was never an N Z prerogative that they were the "gods" of the game. Professionalism changed that as more world teams levels improved and N Z sat back and bathed in past glories. England claim to have the best football league in the world, so they should win the world cup every time? These "old guard" are destroying the All Black's wonderful history and with it the world's respect for New Zealand. Thankfully, true AB supporters will always prevail, take the punches on the chin and get up and support their team through the good as well as the bad times. But for the others, let them wallow in their sour grapes.
@@fredlenz4743 You made a great point. It's essential to support our teams not only in victory but also in defeat. That’s the true essence of sportsmanship-standing by them through both the highs and the lows.
They’re close friends for a reason, but it’s hard not to feel that Scott Robertson’s record as a coach is being unfairly critiqued at times. Regardless, immense respect to our South African brothers-they’ve earned every bit of it. 🖤💪🏽
This rivalry between South Africa an NZ is so special and comments like this by Steve casts a huge shadow over what is so special. We as Springbok fans cried for a long time and now that we are on top we don't need to hear BS like this. I want to thank you for this video which is so unbiased. At the end of the day this is about rugby the game that both our nation's love so much!!! Long lives the rivalry and yes NZ will be back but for the near future you guys will probably beat us on a 50/50 basis at least. It must stay the biggest rivalry in the world because it drives those up North crazy . I was so glad when NZ beat the arrogant Irish . They are quiet now. Please let us be friends of the field. What happens on the field of play stays there. Be blessed my brother
Thank you, brother. I truly appreciate your words. Sir Hansen, like all of us, should always uphold the spirit of sportsmanship, and I agree, this game is special because of the respect and connection between teams like the All Blacks and the Springboks. It unites us as nations, and no matter the outcome, it’s always about honoring the game and the opposition. I hold deep respect for the Irish as well, and while I’m happy with our win, I know they’ll keep improving and find their rhythm next season. As for us, I’m grateful for the friendship we’ve built, both on and off the field. Mad respect to you and your team, and may we continue to support each other through everything. God bless you too, my brother. 🙏 Much love. ❤️
Steve Hansen, it was a cheap shot, you get what the call a backyard mechanic, you will now be remember as a backyard rugby coach, be WISE, allow RAZOR to become a succesful coach.
Well said, there will be days when some call's go your way and other days not, it happens. I do think that is the 1 area where Rassie has cemented a great work ethic within the team, they adjust and overcome. You need to move on in order to grow, be that as individuals or as a team, look what there's to be learn't from the experience.
@@NeilWeston-n2f Exactly, I’m with you, brother. The All Blacks will only improve with time, but for now, we should celebrate and give South Africa, and Rassie, the credit they truly deserve.
Great video and I agree with what you said. If we want to win in 2027 we need to want it more than the rest of the world! 🏆🏉🖤 For me, it means watching games - on TV and in person - and riding the hard times out; believing in the mighty All Blacks!
@@lukenemeth I couldn’t agree more. Ultimately, it comes down to the players' desire to win and their commitment to pushing through adversity. As you pointed out, experiencing setbacks and tough times can be incredibly valuable-it builds resilience and a deeper hunger for success in the long run. This kind of hardship often fuels greater motivation and determination in the next season. What’s most important now is that we continue to believe in the team, trust their growth, and support them fully. The foundation is there, and with the right mindset, we can achieve even more moving forward.
💯 If I was an All Black player in the 2023 RWC final I would feel insulted by that comment. It’s not the right philosophy to get better. I am loving that South Africa are on top, but I know that will also pass. With teams like the All Blacks that have long standing tradition in rugby they will forever be knocking. There is not a single Ab vs Bok game where I am not nervous. Looking forward to the tests in 2025. Peace and Love to my NZ brothers and sisters. Have a happy holiday.
What is it with NZ these days? Israel Dagg and his fellow pundit calling Rassie Jabba the Hutt and refusing to apologize. Steve Hansen and robbery...whats going on there? I don't think Saffas think of the ABs and NZ as anything but fierce competitors and worthy compatriots. We don't hate teams that beat us (except England). Some pundits make fun of the Japanese victory over SA. Well done Japan. This year, well played Argentina and Ireland. My team is managing to keep the intensity and still transform. Go Bokke!
@@johndeppe7891 I appreciate your thoughtful and honest words. As a passionate Kiwi supporter, it’s clear that the desire to win runs deep, and that’s part of what makes the game so special to us. However, as you’ve pointed out, rugby is more than just about winning - it’s about unity, respect for all teams, and celebrating the spirit of the game. South Africa has shown incredible strength and skill, and they absolutely deserve their success. It’s important to recognize the achievements of all nations, and as you said, rugby is ultimately about coming together as one, no matter the result. Mad respect for your perspective and the love for the game. Much respect, my friend.
I must admit, it felt like a game where we didn't take our opportunities, but the 'Bok's didn't exactly do much either. Ultimately, some close reffing decisions were probably the difference. Hansen knows the game as well as anyone, he will speak up and not care what anyone thinks of it. We speak up and its all whinging, so good on him.
Hey, I really appreciate your perspective, and I respect your opinion. I think you're absolutely right in emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and giving credit where it's due. Sir Hansen has a wealth of knowledge about the game, and if he truly understands it, he would know that respect for the opposition is essential. South Africa played brilliantly and earned their victory. While we had our chances, the reality is they took theirs, and that’s what counts. No excuses. I have no doubt the All Blacks will come back stronger, but for now, it’s important to acknowledge South Africa’s achievement and show them the respect they deserve. They were the better team on the day, and that’s something we can all learn from.
@@Rugbytalks2k24 Yes, respect for S.A., especially nailing the close games on their way to the title. But I don't think they played 'brilliantly' - especially with the majority numerical advantage. Also, tough 'refs decision' on Ardie not releasing when in fact he did. 3 points to the 'Bok's and that's the difference in the tightest of games.
@ I completely understand and respect your point of view. South Africa’s performance was a true testament to their tactical discipline and mental toughness. Despite being physically drained, they stuck to their plan, absorbed the pressure, and executed when it counted. Their resilience, especially in defense, and the ability to take their opportunities was the difference. It's not just about skill; it’s about how they maintained their composure under intense pressure, and that’s what ultimately got them over the line. That said, I have no doubt the All Blacks will bounce back stronger. Next year’s test match at Eden Park will be a huge occasion, and I’m excited to see how it unfolds. I agree with you-we definitely had chances in that final, and had we taken them, it could’ve been a different story. But in the end, we have to give credit where it’s due. I have nothing but respect for your thoughts, my brother, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for both our teams. Here's to the next chapter! ✊🖤
@@simonmaney3438 You're absolutely right-while the call on Ardie certainly stirred emotions, in the grand scheme of things, our discipline let us down, and there were key moments where we could’ve made a bigger impact. Jordie’s missed penalty and Ritchie’s chance after Barrett’s try were pivotal moments that, had they gone our way, could’ve shifted the momentum. But as tough as it is to accept, that’s rugby-it’s a brutal game, and sometimes the margins are razor-thin. We can’t dwell on what might’ve been; we just have to acknowledge the loss and learn from it. It’s all part of the journey, and we’ll be back stronger. Ultimately, it’s just a game, but it means a lot to us, and that’s what makes it so special. I respect your take, and I know our boys will use this as fuel moving forward.
Those were the best times I use to watch it with my old man at 2am nz time he’s a springbok supporter like hardout with a passion exciting times back then.😊
@@Rugbytalks2k24 The games were on at about 4am here in SA, but it was only broadcast on MNet back in those days (paid provider), so we always used to go to friend's houses at that hour to watch the game. Great times!
I completely agree-referees can only manage what’s within their control, and perfection is unattainable. Respect for their decisions is key to maintaining fairness and integrity in the game.
Just a question. Why are the ab supporters angry at the ref for the mistake he made by not giving the try after a few phases, but nothing is said about the mistake he made by not seeing the knock on in the first place?
@ At the end of the day, the referee has a tough job, and while it’s easy to get caught up in the calls, we must respect that they can only manage what’s within their control. As passionate supporters, we have to accept the decisions made and show respect for the game. Much respect to our Springbok brothers for their dedication and performance. Let’s keep the spirit of sportsmanship strong, no matter the outcome. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽"..
When a team wins, they're a great outfit. When they lose its the the ref and of course, the coach. It's the same in every country, and officiating is always blamed by the losing fans who do not have the grace and/or balls to admit that their team wasn't good enough. Winning is not a God given right. I look forward to more great encounters between the AB's and Boks.
I completely agree. In moments of defeat, it's essential to remain humble and show respect for the teams, refraining from blaming the referees. The true spirit of the game lies not in winning, but in uniting as a nation, demonstrating humility and solidarity. Much respect to South Africa for embodying that spirit.
Look, for the past many years World Rugby has made rules exclusively to handicap Springboks at their power points. Yet through all this we thrive. Every team has its good and bad years. NZ will improve and maybe soon be on top again. If you lose, stop looking for excuses, look inward and fix it.
I completely agree with you, and I think it’s important to be honest and self-reflective. As Kiwi supporters, we often find ourselves quick to point fingers and sometimes make excuses when things don’t go our way. It’s easy to get caught up in the pride and passion we have for our team, but at times, we can lose sight of the bigger picture and forget that every team goes through its ups and downs. A little more humility and understanding could go a long way, not just in how we view our own team, but in how we approach the game as a whole. We have a lot to be proud of as New Zealand fans, but maintaining respect for others and acknowledging the challenges teams face helps keep our own perspective grounded.
First time watcher from S Africa. My immediate reaction to the great AB coach was irritation, but it passed quickly. Bokke won , bottom line. Someone commented that the Bok supporters believe the Boks won by 100. Anytime we win against the ABs, it is celebrated. So bloody what, they are the greatest rivals of the Boks.
It's not the size of the dog but the size of the fight.'Sir' Hansen just went from hero to zero with the speed of lightning.South Africa just keeps breeding world class giants on the rugby field .2025 and beyond promises to get even better to see the Doctor Johan has in store😮
What happened to the proud All Black that we 🇿🇦 have always respected? Things like these makes one lose respect for coach Hansen. We are in a great place at the moment but nobody stays nr1 forever. I hope to see AB at their best for our rivalry can keep going.
I agree, brother. We have to accept that South Africa are simply too strong and deserve their title as world champions. It’s as straightforward as that.
All blacks did not get robbed. They missed a conversion and the last penalty to win it. Chances were there. From a saffa, the respect for the all blacks is there. Just don't come with this childish crap. All we are all asking.
@@nielvanderwalt1965this bs about being robbed must stop.It's a really childish comment.If we are to go with this belief,then many many teams for more than a hundred years were robbed.
Shuddup All Blacks were ROBBED! The whole could see it The referees have been told by their masters to babysit the springboks against every team not just Nz you watch and you will see
Don’t forget, Jody Barrett missed kick at Paul. Normally that guy is bulletproof. But he got annihilated by epic defense by PSDT and nobody seems to think that may have had a huge impact on his focus, his head and his inability to convert. If you consider that Arendse cover tackle and clean up by Kolbe on Aione for the try ABs would’ve won. But they didn’t. End of story. There have been plenty rough calls against South Africa over the years in extremely tight games against the all blacks. Now you know how it feels.
That tackle on Reiko was one of the greatest we’ve seen, no doubt about it. I also agree, Jordie had the opportunity to slot those penalties, and Richie had his chance to take the lead, but unfortunately, we couldn’t capitalize in those key moments. At the end of the day, the Springboks were the better team and they deserve their victory. Much love and respect to South Africa for their well-earned win! 🏆🇿🇦🖤
@ Thank you, my brother, I truly appreciate it. I also have great admiration for 2 Cents and Mark's videos-they’re incredibly inspiring. Their content is outstanding, and they’re doing an amazing job.
Whatever the pundits/ ex coaches/ media says. A game between the AB's and Springboks will always be difficult and physical and more often than not, come down to a single decision. Thats what happens when the top two nations clash ( i dont care what the WR rankings says) So i never get rilled up about opinions by the "experts".
A true gentleman and a good sport and the first kiwis supporter I have seen who is objective and fair and shows sportsmanship. And he is correct gone are the days of the all blacks dominance. It will be a humdinger next year two tests at home against the springboks. Either way it will be very close. Currently the springboks are best team of all time.
@@jasondreyer7893 I completely agree, my friend! It's all about spreading love to all nations, especially to our South African brothers and our Aussie mates. Big props to them for the massive strides they've made - they’re definitely contenders to watch next year. I’m particularly excited for the upcoming two-test series against South Africa; those matches are going to be huge! And you're spot on, the Springboks are the true champions. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🖤🖤
Steve Henson is a cry baby who's always hated the Boks. Who Robbed the AB's? Why? With what intent? Hey Henson, where was the player discipline? Come on old man. Retire in peace and stop talking crap. We took our opportunities and you didn't, point blank Babba.
@@jeffreykgatitsoe627 I fully have respect for Hansen but his comment was disrespectful to the South Africans they deserve all the credit and they are clearly world champions for a reason. Say less. 🤫🤫
2 kicks were missed... did Hansen saw the poles got moved twice? Thats why he said the AB was robbed? From a saffa though a red card in the finals is a total bummer... they could have given Sam the benefit of a doubt there. tbh it benefited the entire team's attitude and mentality after that call. Its a scary thought to face a desperate AB team.
@Gavsta60 I have a deep respect for what our South African counterparts have achieved in modern rugby. Their success is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it’s inspiring to see them at the top. As for Sir Hansen, while it’s important to voice opinions, I believe true sportsmanship and respect are what ultimately lead to success on the world stage. Whining or complaining rarely makes a difference-it's the integrity and the effort that matter most. It unites us as a nation. ❤️🙏
@@Rugbytalks2k24 - Couldn't agree with you more mate....and as any Saffa will tell you - there's only two sides in World Rugby....us and you and I suspect that most Kiwi's share that sentiment. Right now it's great to be South African as we go through our purple patch but gosh I would envy you lot with your 2011-2015 side. Good luck for the 2025 season...SO looking forward to the showdown at Eden Park!!
@@Gavsta60 Absolutely, my friend. It’s fantastic to see the Springboks dominating world rugby. The upcoming battles will be thrilling, but regardless of the outcome, there will always be respect for both teams. Looking ahead to 2025, it’s sure to be an exciting journey for all. God bless.
I respect Hansen and all he’s accomplished with the All Blacks, but his winning record is now part of the past. Times have changed, and the All Blacks can’t dominate forever. It’s refreshing to see the Springboks rise, and their success is great for the game. Mad respect. 🙏
ABs hadn't played well last year. Were not the favourites and got thrashed by the Boks just before the RWC. So of ABs weren't the favourites then how can they be robbed?
Absolutely, last year was a tough one for us, but we had our moments at the World Cup and gave it our best shot. At the end of the day, South Africa took their chances and played brilliantly. They truly deserve all the credit for their victory. Mad respect to our Springbok brothers!
From a Springbok perspective, that final could have just as easily gone the other way just simply by looking at those two missed kicks that was missed by centimeters. We have two be objective and put ourselves in the shoes of our All Black brothers and consider how we would have reacted if our captain suffered a similar fate. On the day both teams would have been deserved winners, but that final is a thing of the past and all that matters is the current moment. I believe New Zealand rugby made an excellent decision to basically cut off the old regime of influential figures such as Sir Hansen etc. Even if the appointment of Razor doesn't keep the status quo, and by that I mean, a winning percentage of 90% plus from the AB's as we have been accustomed to over the past 30 odd years, New Zealand rugby will ultimately be in a healthier position as it is clear that the old dinosaurs is entitled and has a limiting and dictatorial way of doing things and it looks like the modern game calls for a more evolved approach. Razor would never spew such garbage and poison the climate for the fans and the players and that is why he is at the helm, and not those old (brilliant in their time but found lacking in current times) dinosaurs. The current state of the game is such a blessing and for me it is so much better than the past since any of them top teams can turn up on a day and do a number on the other team. Clinging to the past can easily create a false superiority complex that ultimately will be detrimental, so I say this: Sit down, Hansen. No one asked your opinion because the only opinion that matters is the opinion of Razor.
@@georgeengelbrecht1310 Well said, I couldn’t agree more. It really could have gone either way, but South Africa took their opportunities when it counted, while we couldn't capitalize on ours. As much as I respect Steve Hansen for his accomplishments, I don’t think those comments were necessary. Scott Robertson is doing great things and deserves recognition for his efforts-I'm confident he’ll lead the All Blacks to big things next year. We're not far off, but full credit to South Africa for their resilience and for claiming the World Cup title. Much respect to our South African brothers! 🏆
You don't get "robbed" if SA had the lead the entire game. You don't get "robbed" if all SA's points were scored by the time the yellow was upgraded to a red. You don't get "robbed" if your own kickers miss 2 kick-able goals at goal.
@@Rugbytalks2k24 Equally so, the ABs could easily easily have had the victory, right up until the last seconds, so for me they would've been deserved winners any day of the week!
It was an unfortunate choice of words which Im sure he regrets by now. Fortunately thete is a growing spirit of mutual respect between the players And supporters of these two nations...don't get drawn into nasty exchanges of commentry between trouble seekers...concentrate on the positives and the massive role both of these teams have to play on the international rugby scene....
I completely agree. Regardless of any opinions to the contrary, I firmly believe the Springboks are the best team of this modern era. Their dominance speaks for itself, and they have my utmost respect.
I am a Springbok supporter and I was very disappointed when Sam Cane got a red card. I really believe it was a rugby incident. Sam Cane is a decent guy and a good player. Lots of respect for you and your views!
Thank you for the kind words about our former captain. While I have immense respect for Cane, I can't help but feel that his performance in that final will likely haunt him. It's a tough moment, and I’m sure it weighs on him deeply. Such a difficult situation for him.
Hansen has a loser mentality. Cane executed dangerous tackle on Jesse which is red card in terms of Rugby rules. There was an aerial tackle rules transgression before Smith's try that was shown in TMO replay. All Blacks awarded penalty that could have won them World Cup but missed it. Kolbe was punished and another last minutes penalty for All Blacks awarded and it was missed, Du Pond and some coaching staff blamed the referee after quarter finall loss but they couldn't point out where the referee was wrong. They're trained in the rules of Rugby and assisted by trained TMO Officials. So they understand Rugby ruled better than we do. Let's be happy when we win and stop being bad losers.
@@affiliateclimbmax9287 Absolutely, there's true resilience and heart in the Springboks' victory over us, and we can't deny the quality they brought to the table. The way they played, particularly in high-pressure moments, speaks to their strength and determination. As Kiwi fans, it’s crucial that we start showing the same level of respect for our South African brothers. Their triumph wasn’t just about a single match-it was the result of years of hard work, tactical brilliance, and team cohesion. We, as supporters, should celebrate their success, acknowledging their skill and commitment to the game. Respecting their achievement doesn’t take away from our pride as Kiwis; rather, it shows the true spirit of sportsmanship and humility that should define us all.
Hansen's utterances was really unfortunate, he conveniently forget about the missed conversion and penalty that could've changed the outcome. It was only a point win, do the math 😊
@@chrismia2402 As a Kiwi fan, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Steve Hansen and all he's achieved, but I wholeheartedly agree with your point. It’s important that we embrace the bigger picture and recognize the accomplishments of others in the game. South Africa’s triumph as World Champions is a testament to their strength, resilience, and quality of play. Instead of focusing on the disappointments, we should take pride in the competition and celebrate the excellence of teams like South Africa. It’s a mark of true respect for the sport when we can acknowledge and appreciate the achievements of others, while still holding our own team in high regard.
@@Mostlycars888 You're welcome, brother. I have immense respect for our South African brothers-they truly deserve all the credit for their victory and for maintaining their position at the top of the world.
Look. The whole game was extremely close. AB's could have won just as easily. Steve is allowed to speak his mind but disappointing remarks from a man of his stature. Bad decisions went both ways. I do agree that it was bad of NZ rugby to appoint Scott before the World Cup. Thanks for your channel 👍
@@johnwagenhauser9835 I definitely agree with you-it was unnecessary, and we need to accept that South Africa were simply too good, full stop. As for Scott Robertson, he will continue to improve as a coach, but hopefully, he’ll refine his team selection moving forward.
@Rugbytalks2k24 when it comes to Scott, I like him, seems to be an almost innocence about him and a very down to earth persona. There are 2 things that worry me . 1 doesn't seem to be blooding new players.2 the AB's struggle in second half. Think you nailed it saying he's a good coach, bad selector. May your channel explode in 25. Best.
Well said! Unbelievable that a bloke of Hansens stature in this society (being knighted and all) he should be leading from the front but his a lost cause.
While Scott Robertson's record might not stand out as much at the moment, I believe he still has the potential to meet the high expectations placed on him as a coach. With more time, he'll refine his style and continue to align his selection process, ultimately proving his worth as a great coach.
Massive respect to the All Blacks. They had their chances in that final, they just failed to execute. Yes, Sam Cain’s red was harsh. But robbed? No Sir.
I agree with your perspective-the red card definitely had an impact on the game. However, at the end of the day, a win is a win, and the Springboks are world champions. That’s what truly matters.
The funniest part of the ABs complaining they were robbed in 2023 is the fact that they won in 2011 which we know was an actual rigged tournament. Referees literally got given free farms in NZ after the tournament for petes sake.
Its absolutely no coincidence that the australia game against the boks is widely reguarded by the vast majority of fans as the worst display of refereeing in the professional game
The Aussie game was robbery and will never be forgotten
At last - a Kiwi version of Eggchaser Tim! Honest, authentic, knowedgeable ... and a subtle sense of humor! Love it, Subscribed.
Thank you so much, brother. I truly appreciate your support for my small channel-it means a lot. I’m also a huge fan of Tim from Egg Chaser, as well as the incredible work he’s done as both an analyst and rugby expert. I’ve learned so much from his insights, and I also respect the Kiwi lads, 2Cents, and Inside Rugby for their amazing content. Their videos have been a great source of inspiration, and I’ll always be grateful for the knowledge and love they share.
I don't think anybody forced the All Blacks to miss those kicks.
I agree brother
I enjoyed your commentary no give for the AB's and no give for the Boks. Just pure brotherhood rugby commentary
I appreciate it, brother. It’s all about unity, not division. We’re all equal, and no one is superior. Respecting one another and spreading love is what truly matters.
I think the rugby world is benefitting already from the next level rugby coached by Erasmus and played by this bunch of players. In so many ways the game has been taken to next levels by these Springboks! So be grateful for what they are bringing, learn from them. Already the use of the bench that so many pundits were howling in outrage about, is being adopted by all teams, they are all aspiring to having a bomb squad, perfectly within the rules of the game but not really focussed on before. Also the tactical planning is so meticulous and always innovative, and its always based on intense study of the opposition. The Boks calling a scrum from a mark to force the heavy French pack to run was a genius move, who knew before that the French forwards avoided running too much? I am enjoying rugby so much more since Rassie arrived on the scene, he is just so innovative! Greetings from Cape Town.
I completely agree with you brother-there’s something truly special about the way the Springboks play. Their style is a testament to why they’re champions. The tactical brilliance, especially with Rassie’s “bomb squad,” is pure genius. Smart rugby and a solid game plan will always take you far. Sending warm regards from New Zealand. Much love and God bless. ❤️🙏
Much love and respect all the way from South Africa 🎉❤

Very good channel Bru
@@ghug6764
That’s right brother ❤️💪🏽💪🏽
The AB's lost the WCF 23 by making a few poor decisions.
They could have won , it was close but the AB's can only blame themselfs.
Had the AB's triumphed, I would be saying the Boks lost it. They could have won it.
Its great seeing the top 4 or 5 being so close.
Absolutely, it’s great to see other teams stepping up and challenging us-it’s healthy for the game. I’m incredibly proud of what the Springboks have achieved both last year and this year. Even with some inconsistent form and losses to Argentina and Ireland they remain one of the best teams and still have the ability to win games
I am a South African and obviously a great Bok fan. You, brother, are now one of my biggest heroes! We also had two fairly deserved yellow cards in that game and still won. New Zealand will come back and just become stronger again. It is always an honour and nerve wracking to play against you. Mr Hansen should not take away from your noble name with his statements. ❤
I really appreciate your kind words, brother. As an All Blacks supporter, I’ve always had immense respect for South Africa. Growing up, my dad and I would watch every South African game at 2am, and we’d also follow the Super 14 when the South African teams were a real force-those were some incredible times. I’ve always held that respect for you guys, and it's clear you deserve to be at the top of the world. I’m looking forward to our upcoming game on home soil; it will be a tough challenge, but win or lose, my respect for South Africa will remain unchanged. Much love and God bless the Springboks.
The calculated crocodile roll on Mbonambi deprived the Boks of lineout possession, and nullified their dangerous attack. So they won the only way they could. Relentless, heroic defence. Say hi to Jordy Barret.
Haha, I appreciate your perspective, brother! I completely agree-the Springboks won fair and square, and they deserve all the credit. Much respect to our South African brothers for their victory!
The crocodile roll on Bongi should have been a red card against AB as well. Springboks should have won much further...
I agree should’ve been too I remember that. 🤦🏽
It deprived us of lineout possession, without which the Boks could not consistently attack. So they won the only way they could. Defending their hearts out.
@
Exactly, we had the momentum, but as you said, we couldn’t handle the intensity of South Africa’s defense. They truly dominated, and I have nothing but respect for them.
@@ritzemaritzema-xo4dz I can’t believe as a rugby fan you want ,and are calling for more send offs. I never want a win against the Boks unless it’s 15 vs 15. And fair down to the last minute. I don’t blame the Boks at all for the RWC loss. Turned up played hard and won. But calling for more red cards is just weird. You Bok supporters would feel the same way if the roles were reversed and lost a World Cup.
In order to be "robbed", you must be in possession first....
VERY underrated comment!
For Uncle Steve Hansen to say the Mighty All Blacks were robbed is to imply the Bokke were in cahoots with the Referee and TMO connived to throw the game in favor of the Bokke.
Does he has any EVIDENCE for that? SARU plus the IRB Referees Association must sue Steve Hansen.
New Subscriber here From Namibia. Thanks for your levelheaded approach to the matter. Respect.
I agree, there’s no solid evidence to suggest we were robbed. Much respect to you all, and I’m confident that even greater things are on the horizon for the mighty Boks. 💪🏽❤️ thank you my brother for subscribing to my tiny channel much appreciated the love and support.
Yes they are all against the All Black's, their Haka, their winning record against all countries, their rugby style, the list goes on, they all hate us little colonials of 4 and a half million, and they're all bigger than us, but we don't give a didley squat, and so we end up winning more against them than us, that must piss them off heaps
@Palenapa-l3s who is they?
@@Palenapa-l3sah. Out the woodwork there p’napa.
Actually in my opinion the game was pretty evenly matched any one of the 2 team could have taken the game. right up till the 80th minute no one could say who had that game in the bag. Hanson saying AB where robbed is saying Boks were weaker and did not deserve the win. It does not matter how good the Boks are there will always be those that think its undeserved. Strange how the Springboks and coaching staff are always so respectful when it comes to opposing teams yet dont get the same in return.
@@saiyandemonisher
I agree, it could’ve gone either way, but the Springboks were undoubtedly the better team. We should definitely show respect to our opponents for their performance.
Respect to you sir for your unbiased commentary. This is what the game should be about. It is only a sport
You're welcome, brother, and thank you for the kind words. You’re absolutely right-it’s just a game. Much respect to our Springbok brothers. 💪🏽💪🏽🇿🇦
I'm a die hard Springbok,huge respect for the mighty All Blacks but comment of Steve Hansen is unthoughtful and unprofessional as a former All Black coach...😢
@@isakclaassen8573
Exactly, I wasn’t expecting that kind of comment from our own, honestly. 🤦🏽 Regardless, full respect to the Springboks-they are the world champions, no question. Their achievement speaks for itself.
Saffas one and all admired Steve Hanson. But his going the same way as John Kirwan, whinging about the Springboks is really detracting for a great man.
The AB's had the final in their own hands. They didn't make their kicks and the Boks did. That's simply the reality between winning and losing. It was a great match between two very determined teams but there can only be one winner.
@@riyaadrhoda3990
I hear you, tough break for the All Blacks, but as you said, it’s time to move on. In the end, there’s only one winner, and that’s the mighty Springboks. Their strength and consistency speak for themselves. 💪🏽🖤
Wow, awesome take brother! Humility will bring the all blacks back to the top.
Remember we as South Africans were humbled for for 20 years by you lads!! Respect is the key
Absolutely, the All Blacks will certainly bounce back. I’m looking forward to next year on home soil-it's going to be incredible. That said, much respect to our South African brothers for their performance. They truly earned it.
Sad day when a hero like Steve resorts to such disappointing sour comments. Perhaps he is tired of sitting at home and needs a job again, when Razor gets fired and needs to oil up AB rugby. Really thought more of this guy. Also, AB's had terrible discipline for some time now and they pay the price... Sour grapes in my view
Mate Steve Hansen had one of the greatest generations of All Blacks. Easy for him to criticize Scott. Springboks are going through a golden era now. I think the ABs are on the up and are still a powerhouse. Next year is gonna be great. The wheel turns.
I agree, sometimes it's best for the All Blacks to take a step back and allow other teams, like South Africa, to dominate for a while. Respecting their achievements and letting them reign as champions can be a healthy acknowledgment of their strength, while giving the All Blacks time to refocus and build for the future.
I didn't hear SH comment. As a South African I always had great respect for him and Graham Henry. Two giants of the game. Everyone forgets the massive forward pass in the 2007 quarter finals by France against ABs. If that was blown ABs would have won that game and probably 2007 WC.
I agree, our nation here in New Zealand could benefit from a bit of humility in defeat. We need to respect our brothers, as the Springboks truly deserve their moment. Big respect for Hansen and Sir Graham Henry-they are giants of the game. However, it would be great to see Hansen show a bit more grace towards the Springboks for their achievements. And also Scott Robertson.
Thanks for your respectfulness. I can really admire your maturity much as it's not cool at all to lose a final. We lost a t 20 final against India and it was not cool but we gotta move on. It's sports and it's life. Cheers🥂
I appreciate that, brother. You're right-we need to focus on good sportsmanship and supporting each other. There are bigger things to worry about than rugby, but at the end of the day, it’s about showing respect for the world champions, South Africa. Full stop.
The refereeing in the France final in 2011 was more of a robbery than 2023.
@@rugbyanalyst1
Indeed, he should have the insight to handle this situation more effectively, especially considering his extensive experience coaching some of the best teams of his era. With such a wealth of knowledge and a track record of success, one would expect a higher level of strategic awareness and decision-making, particularly in high-pressure scenarios. It’s surprising that someone with his background wouldn’t be more attuned to the nuances of this situation, given that he’s been at the helm of teams that have set benchmarks for excellence. That France game was definitely a robbery in my eyes so I agree. 🤦🏽
@@rugbyanalyst1 Which call are you talking about?
@@lukenemeth Not just one specific call however as it turns minute 75 there is a ridiculous no call on Kaino off his feet in the ruck then Hore is offside. Crazy non decision, was a very poor refereeing performance - it was clear he didn't want to make a call down the stretch to potentially make NZ lose at home in the final.
1995 was more of a robbery than both those finals put together
@
Absolutely, I agree with you. The 1995 Rugby World Cup semi-final between the All Blacks and South Africa was a defining moment in rugby history. Led by captain Sean Fitzpatrick, New Zealand went into that match as heavy favorites, but South Africa, under the leadership of Francois Pienaar, delivered a historic performance. The game was a brutal, tightly contested affair, with both teams displaying immense resilience.
In the end, South Africa triumphed 15-12, largely due to a combination of solid defense and tactical kicking from Joel Stransky, whose drop goal in the final minutes secured the win. It was a crushing defeat for the All Blacks, who were left to reflect on missed opportunities and mistakes, particularly the controversial last-minute disallowed try. For South Africa, the victory was not just about rugby; it symbolized the unification of the nation post-apartheid, with Nelson Mandela famously donning the Springbok jersey in a powerful display of reconciliation. The match remains one of the most iconic in World Cup history.
The Brazilian national soccer team, dominated soccer for years, mesmerising teams with amazing flamboyant soccer, then as the years rolled on, other teams studied them and Brazil found the going tough to the point where they are no longer the same team that put fear in other teams. That is what has happened to the All Blacks, The Boks will have their run of success but as history shows us, other teams will catch up and over take them. So let's just enjoy the All Blacks and the Boks and all good rugby, because they are all putting their bodies on the line week in week out.
@@greggalant7543
I agree, bro. No team stays unbeaten forever. Just like the Brazil soccer team, the All Blacks' dominance in rugby has come to an end, and it's time we accept that and give credit to the mighty Springboks for their superiority.
Robbed rubbish!
I agree ✊
Good honest vlog, respect from SA!
Not to mention, look at the teams we had to topple on our way to the cup.
We were consistently on form.
Hansen lost my respect. Be humble in victory and graceful in defeat. He is just sour grapes now.
And, he stands alone in his position on this matter.
Well said my brother I agree 🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽
Before 1994 SA entered the world rugby stage they studied their opponents from day one very carefully. They knew everything about the AB ,England, France and Australia and every Irish team players. SO, THE BAR WAS RAISED HIGH FOR THE SPRINGBOKS. That's why when the two SA fans raised a flag at the final of the AUSTRALIA and England RWC which said 'You ai'nt the World Champions until you beat the Springboks ' sent a chilling warning to WR if the Springboks would be welcomed back into the WR stage there would be an all out war. For each WC Final SA played ,the bar was raised higher and 2023 was just the epitome, the pinacle of success at the WR final stage.
Yes, THE SPRINGBOKS IS THE MOST HATED TEAM IN THE WORLD; THEY BREAK RULES .Oh and might I add they do not play 'according to the spirit of the game.' Mr HANSEN should accept the better team won on that night. The AB had many chances and mistake they made was thinking because they beat Ireland with the game plan they had it might have worked against the Springboks, wrong.
I agree with you brother nicely said mad respect for our South African brothers ❤️❤️❤️

What a shame, he is just robbing himself of his dignity with this behaviour.
I think the AB's played heroically, the problem throughout the tournament was their discipline. Clearly Foster put time and effort into getting the AB's to play well with a man down. Instead he should have put the time in, on how to tackle according to the new laws. 2024 the AB's discipline has been good so clearly Robertson has done the work there.

Enjoyed the analysis - AB's still a dominant team despite some setbacks the past two seasons. They caused other teams to improve their game - AB's must remember that being at the top means that everyone is out to take you down.

An honest appraisal. Thank you.
Your welcome brother ❤️✊
Many of the old guard in N Z rugby have not grasped the fact that it is now a professional game and money drives it. It was never an N Z prerogative that they were the "gods" of the game. Professionalism changed that as more world teams levels improved and N Z sat back and bathed in past glories. England claim to have the best football league in the world, so they should win the world cup every time? These "old guard" are destroying the All Black's wonderful history and with it the world's respect for New Zealand. Thankfully, true AB supporters will always prevail, take the punches on the chin and get up and support their team through the good as well as the bad times. But for the others, let them wallow in their sour grapes.
@@fredlenz4743
You made a great point. It's essential to support our teams not only in victory but also in defeat. That’s the true essence of sportsmanship-standing by them through both the highs and the lows.
Should have been two red cards for the ABs. Frizell targeted Bongi's leg. The replays show him going for it.
Lost the respect I had for Hansen. I believe he said it politically since he recruited Fozzie as assistant at the Japan club he’s coaching.
They’re close friends for a reason, but it’s hard not to feel that Scott Robertson’s record as a coach is being unfairly critiqued at times. Regardless, immense respect to our South African brothers-they’ve earned every bit of it. 🖤💪🏽
This rivalry between South Africa an NZ is so special and comments like this by Steve casts a huge shadow over what is so special. We as Springbok fans cried for a long time and now that we are on top we don't need to hear BS like this. I want to thank you for this video which is so unbiased. At the end of the day this is about rugby the game that both our nation's love so much!!!
Long lives the rivalry and yes NZ will be back but for the near future you guys will probably beat us on a 50/50 basis at least. It must stay the biggest rivalry in the world because it drives those up North crazy . I was so glad when NZ beat the arrogant Irish . They are quiet now. Please let us be friends of the field. What happens on the field of play stays there.
Be blessed my brother
Thank you, brother. I truly appreciate your words. Sir Hansen, like all of us, should always uphold the spirit of sportsmanship, and I agree, this game is special because of the respect and connection between teams like the All Blacks and the Springboks. It unites us as nations, and no matter the outcome, it’s always about honoring the game and the opposition. I hold deep respect for the Irish as well, and while I’m happy with our win, I know they’ll keep improving and find their rhythm next season.
As for us, I’m grateful for the friendship we’ve built, both on and off the field. Mad respect to you and your team, and may we continue to support each other through everything. God bless you too, my brother. 🙏 Much love. ❤️
Steve Hansen, it was a cheap shot, you get what the call a backyard mechanic, you will now be remember as a backyard rugby coach, be WISE, allow RAZOR to become a succesful coach.
What a sober, non emotional view you've just shared with us👊🏾
@@AdrianGoliath-p5p
Thank you my brother appreciate it ❤️
Well said, there will be days when some call's go your way and other days not, it happens.
I do think that is the 1 area where Rassie has cemented a great work ethic within the team, they adjust and overcome.
You need to move on in order to grow, be that as individuals or as a team, look what there's to be learn't from the experience.
@@NeilWeston-n2f
Exactly, I’m with you, brother. The All Blacks will only improve with time, but for now, we should celebrate and give South Africa, and Rassie, the credit they truly deserve.
Great video and I agree with what you said. If we want to win in 2027 we need to want it more than the rest of the world! 🏆🏉🖤 For me, it means watching games - on TV and in person - and riding the hard times out; believing in the mighty All Blacks!
@@lukenemeth
I couldn’t agree more. Ultimately, it comes down to the players' desire to win and their commitment to pushing through adversity. As you pointed out, experiencing setbacks and tough times can be incredibly valuable-it builds resilience and a deeper hunger for success in the long run. This kind of hardship often fuels greater motivation and determination in the next season. What’s most important now is that we continue to believe in the team, trust their growth, and support them fully. The foundation is there, and with the right mindset, we can achieve even more moving forward.
💯 If I was an All Black player in the 2023 RWC final I would feel insulted by that comment. It’s not the right philosophy to get better. I am loving that South Africa are on top, but I know that will also pass. With teams like the All Blacks that have long standing tradition in rugby they will forever be knocking. There is not a single Ab vs Bok game where I am not nervous. Looking forward to the tests in 2025. Peace and Love to my NZ brothers and sisters. Have a happy holiday.
Take it on the chin and move on we weren’t good enough we lost end of story
What is it with NZ these days? Israel Dagg and his fellow pundit calling Rassie Jabba the Hutt and refusing to apologize. Steve Hansen and robbery...whats going on there? I don't think Saffas think of the ABs and NZ as anything but fierce competitors and worthy compatriots. We don't hate teams that beat us (except England). Some pundits make fun of the Japanese victory over SA. Well done Japan. This year, well played Argentina and Ireland. My team is managing to keep the intensity and still transform. Go Bokke!
@@johndeppe7891
I appreciate your thoughtful and honest words. As a passionate Kiwi supporter, it’s clear that the desire to win runs deep, and that’s part of what makes the game so special to us. However, as you’ve pointed out, rugby is more than just about winning - it’s about unity, respect for all teams, and celebrating the spirit of the game. South Africa has shown incredible strength and skill, and they absolutely deserve their success. It’s important to recognize the achievements of all nations, and as you said, rugby is ultimately about coming together as one, no matter the result. Mad respect for your perspective and the love for the game. Much respect, my friend.
Dagg is just that a DAGG nothing more New Zealand needs to focus on improving its own game and players and coaches as well
I must admit, it felt like a game where we didn't take our opportunities, but the 'Bok's didn't exactly do much either. Ultimately, some close reffing decisions were probably the difference.
Hansen knows the game as well as anyone, he will speak up and not care what anyone thinks of it. We speak up and its all whinging, so good on him.
Hey, I really appreciate your perspective, and I respect your opinion. I think you're absolutely right in emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and giving credit where it's due. Sir Hansen has a wealth of knowledge about the game, and if he truly understands it, he would know that respect for the opposition is essential. South Africa played brilliantly and earned their victory. While we had our chances, the reality is they took theirs, and that’s what counts. No excuses. I have no doubt the All Blacks will come back stronger, but for now, it’s important to acknowledge South Africa’s achievement and show them the respect they deserve. They were the better team on the day, and that’s something we can all learn from.
@@Rugbytalks2k24 Yes, respect for S.A., especially nailing the close games on their way to the title. But I don't think they played 'brilliantly' - especially with the majority numerical advantage.
Also, tough 'refs decision' on Ardie not releasing when in fact he did. 3 points to the 'Bok's and that's the difference in the tightest of games.
@
I completely understand and respect your point of view. South Africa’s performance was a true testament to their tactical discipline and mental toughness. Despite being physically drained, they stuck to their plan, absorbed the pressure, and executed when it counted. Their resilience, especially in defense, and the ability to take their opportunities was the difference. It's not just about skill; it’s about how they maintained their composure under intense pressure, and that’s what ultimately got them over the line.
That said, I have no doubt the All Blacks will bounce back stronger. Next year’s test match at Eden Park will be a huge occasion, and I’m excited to see how it unfolds. I agree with you-we definitely had chances in that final, and had we taken them, it could’ve been a different story. But in the end, we have to give credit where it’s due. I have nothing but respect for your thoughts, my brother, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for both our teams. Here's to the next chapter! ✊🖤
@@simonmaney3438
You're absolutely right-while the call on Ardie certainly stirred emotions, in the grand scheme of things, our discipline let us down, and there were key moments where we could’ve made a bigger impact. Jordie’s missed penalty and Ritchie’s chance after Barrett’s try were pivotal moments that, had they gone our way, could’ve shifted the momentum. But as tough as it is to accept, that’s rugby-it’s a brutal game, and sometimes the margins are razor-thin. We can’t dwell on what might’ve been; we just have to acknowledge the loss and learn from it. It’s all part of the journey, and we’ll be back stronger. Ultimately, it’s just a game, but it means a lot to us, and that’s what makes it so special. I respect your take, and I know our boys will use this as fuel moving forward.
@@Rugbytalks2k24Absolutely, it certainly could've gone either way, All blacks always & 4ever be a great team❤
Nobody was Robbed ......and 4 in a row against the Springboks how does he explain that...
@@markisaacs5277
Exactly, I agree-the All Blacks weren’t robbed; we simply weren’t good enough to win. No excuses-better luck next season.
No problem, mate. Hansen is working undercover for the Bok motivational team! 😄
Can't wait! To see that fire of the springbok next year I am so excited for them 🖤💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@Rugbytalks2k24 I am, as well! It is going to be absolutely epic.
@ ❤️❤️
Miss the days when we woke up early to play NZ sides in super rugby.
Those were the best!
Those were the best times I use to watch it with my old man at 2am nz time he’s a springbok supporter like hardout with a passion exciting times back then.😊
@@Rugbytalks2k24 The games were on at about 4am here in SA, but it was only broadcast on MNet back in those days (paid provider), so we always used to go to friend's houses at that hour to watch the game. Great times!
We shouldn't only call referees out when we lose. THAT'S the problem. All stand together to remove inconsistent, biased, poor referees.
I completely agree-referees can only manage what’s within their control, and perfection is unattainable. Respect for their decisions is key to maintaining fairness and integrity in the game.
Just a question. Why are the ab supporters angry at the ref for the mistake he made by not giving the try after a few phases, but nothing is said about the mistake he made by not seeing the knock on in the first place?
@
At the end of the day, the referee has a tough job, and while it’s easy to get caught up in the calls, we must respect that they can only manage what’s within their control. As passionate supporters, we have to accept the decisions made and show respect for the game. Much respect to our Springbok brothers for their dedication and performance. Let’s keep the spirit of sportsmanship strong, no matter the outcome. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽"..
When a team wins, they're a great outfit. When they lose its the the ref and of course, the coach. It's the same in every country, and officiating is always blamed by the losing fans who do not have the grace and/or balls to admit that their team wasn't good enough. Winning is not a God given right. I look forward to more great encounters between the AB's and Boks.
I completely agree. In moments of defeat, it's essential to remain humble and show respect for the teams, refraining from blaming the referees. The true spirit of the game lies not in winning, but in uniting as a nation, demonstrating humility and solidarity. Much respect to South Africa for embodying that spirit.
Look, for the past many years World Rugby has made rules exclusively to handicap Springboks at their power points. Yet through all this we thrive. Every team has its good and bad years. NZ will improve and maybe soon be on top again. If you lose, stop looking for excuses, look inward and fix it.
I completely agree with you, and I think it’s important to be honest and self-reflective. As Kiwi supporters, we often find ourselves quick to point fingers and sometimes make excuses when things don’t go our way. It’s easy to get caught up in the pride and passion we have for our team, but at times, we can lose sight of the bigger picture and forget that every team goes through its ups and downs. A little more humility and understanding could go a long way, not just in how we view our own team, but in how we approach the game as a whole. We have a lot to be proud of as New Zealand fans, but maintaining respect for others and acknowledging the challenges teams face helps keep our own perspective grounded.
First time watcher from S Africa. My immediate reaction to the great AB coach was irritation, but it passed quickly. Bokke won , bottom line. Someone commented that the Bok supporters believe the Boks won by 100. Anytime we win against the ABs, it is celebrated. So bloody what, they are the greatest rivals of the Boks.
You missed two kicks - that's why you lost
Yep, couldn't agree more. Most AB fans accept SA won and congratulate them.
Respect to my South African brothers ❤️❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's not the size of the dog but the size of the fight.'Sir' Hansen just went from hero to zero with the speed of lightning.South Africa just keeps breeding world class giants on the rugby field .2025 and beyond promises to get even better to see the Doctor Johan has in store😮
@@christianbantom9698
I agree with you my brother exciting times ahead for the springbok in 2025. 💪🏽💪🏽🇿🇦
What happened to the proud All Black that we 🇿🇦 have always respected? Things like these makes one lose respect for coach Hansen. We are in a great place at the moment but nobody stays nr1 forever. I hope to see AB at their best for our rivalry can keep going.
I agree, brother. We have to accept that South Africa are simply too strong and deserve their title as world champions. It’s as straightforward as that.
Robbed by those 2 idiots( hansen and foster) Why are we listening to der hansen, 2 world cups in a row they stuffed up
All blacks did not get robbed. They missed a conversion and the last penalty to win it. Chances were there. From a saffa, the respect for the all blacks is there. Just don't come with this childish crap. All we are all asking.
I agree, there’s no solid evidence to suggest we were robbed. Much respect to our South African brothers🖤❤️💪🏽💪🏽

The referees have been told by their masters to babysit the springboks against every team not just Nz you watch and you will see
The food poisoning drama of 1995 was also AB excuses. Typical.
@@Enoch940
Exactly I agree we need to let that go and move forward and be thankful that South Africa are the world champs🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆
Don’t forget, Jody Barrett missed kick at Paul. Normally that guy is bulletproof. But he got annihilated by epic defense by PSDT and nobody seems to think that may have had a huge impact on his focus, his head and his inability to convert. If you consider that Arendse cover tackle and clean up by Kolbe on Aione for the try ABs would’ve won. But they didn’t. End of story. There have been plenty rough calls against South Africa over the years in extremely tight games against the all blacks. Now you know how it feels.
That tackle on Reiko was one of the greatest we’ve seen, no doubt about it. I also agree, Jordie had the opportunity to slot those penalties, and Richie had his chance to take the lead, but unfortunately, we couldn’t capitalize in those key moments. At the end of the day, the Springboks were the better team and they deserve their victory. Much love and respect to South Africa for their well-earned win! 🏆🇿🇦🖤

Thank you, my brother, I truly appreciate it. I also have great admiration for 2 Cents and Mark's videos-they’re incredibly inspiring. Their content is outstanding, and they’re doing an amazing job.
Whatever the pundits/ ex coaches/ media says. A game between the AB's and Springboks will always be difficult and physical and more often than not, come down to a single decision.
Thats what happens when the top two nations clash ( i dont care what the WR rankings says) So i never get rilled up about opinions by the "experts".
I couldn’t agree more-two teams going to war, but the respect has always been there as a Kiwi for my South African brothers. Mad love and respect. 🖤💪🏽
Lost all respect for Hansen after those comments. His win % means nothing after those comments. No more respect…
What NZ needs to do, is what we SA have done. And call players playing overseas
A true gentleman and a good sport and the first kiwis supporter I have seen who is objective and fair and shows sportsmanship. And he is correct gone are the days of the all blacks dominance. It will be a humdinger next year two tests at home against the springboks. Either way it will be very close. Currently the springboks are best team of all time.

I’m particularly excited for the upcoming two-test series against South Africa; those matches are going to be huge! And you're spot on, the Springboks are the true champions. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🖤🖤
Steve Henson is a cry baby who's always hated the Boks. Who Robbed the AB's? Why? With what intent? Hey Henson, where was the player discipline? Come on old man. Retire in peace and stop talking crap. We took our opportunities and you didn't, point blank Babba.

2 kicks were missed... did Hansen saw the poles got moved twice? Thats why he said the AB was robbed? From a saffa though a red card in the finals is a total bummer... they could have given Sam the benefit of a doubt there. tbh it benefited the entire team's attitude and mentality after that call. Its a scary thought to face a desperate AB team.
Thanks for your very gracious comments mate...super disappointed in "Sir" Steve Hansen acting like a whining cry-baby.
@Gavsta60
I have a deep respect for what our South African counterparts have achieved in modern rugby. Their success is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it’s inspiring to see them at the top. As for Sir Hansen, while it’s important to voice opinions, I believe true sportsmanship and respect are what ultimately lead to success on the world stage. Whining or complaining rarely makes a difference-it's the integrity and the effort that matter most. It unites us as a nation. ❤️🙏
@@Rugbytalks2k24 - Couldn't agree with you more mate....and as any Saffa will tell you - there's only two sides in World Rugby....us and you and I suspect that most Kiwi's share that sentiment.

@@mauricerobertson1944
I agree with you brother just unnecessary. 🤦🏽
I agree with you on your argument points against Hansen's ridiculous claim! Hansen should keep his mouth shut!
I respect Hansen and all he’s accomplished with the All Blacks, but his winning record is now part of the past. Times have changed, and the All Blacks can’t dominate forever. It’s refreshing to see the Springboks rise, and their success is great for the game. Mad respect. 🙏
ABs hadn't played well last year. Were not the favourites and got thrashed by the Boks just before the RWC. So of ABs weren't the favourites then how can they be robbed?
Absolutely, last year was a tough one for us, but we had our moments at the World Cup and gave it our best shot. At the end of the day, South Africa took their chances and played brilliantly. They truly deserve all the credit for their victory. Mad respect to our Springbok brothers!
From a Springbok perspective, that final could have just as easily gone the other way just simply by looking at those two missed kicks that was missed by centimeters.
We have two be objective and put ourselves in the shoes of our All Black brothers and consider how we would have reacted if our captain suffered a similar fate.
On the day both teams would have been deserved winners, but that final is a thing of the past and all that matters is the current moment.
I believe New Zealand rugby made an excellent decision to basically cut off the old regime of influential figures such as Sir Hansen etc.
Even if the appointment of Razor doesn't keep the status quo, and by that I mean, a winning percentage of 90% plus from the AB's as we have been accustomed to over the past 30 odd years, New Zealand rugby will ultimately be in a healthier position as it is clear that the old dinosaurs is entitled and has a limiting and dictatorial way of doing things and it looks like the modern game calls for a more evolved approach.
Razor would never spew such garbage and poison the climate for the fans and the players and that is why he is at the helm, and not those old (brilliant in their time but found lacking in current times) dinosaurs.
The current state of the game is such a blessing and for me it is so much better than the past since any of them top teams can turn up on a day and do a number on the other team. Clinging to the past can easily create a false superiority complex that ultimately will be detrimental, so I say this:
Sit down, Hansen. No one asked your opinion because the only opinion that matters is the opinion of Razor.
@@georgeengelbrecht1310
Well said, I couldn’t agree more. It really could have gone either way, but South Africa took their opportunities when it counted, while we couldn't capitalize on ours. As much as I respect Steve Hansen for his accomplishments, I don’t think those comments were necessary. Scott Robertson is doing great things and deserves recognition for his efforts-I'm confident he’ll lead the All Blacks to big things next year. We're not far off, but full credit to South Africa for their resilience and for claiming the World Cup title. Much respect to our South African brothers! 🏆
You don't get "robbed" if SA had the lead the entire game.

Thanks for kind words my brother ❤️💪🏽💪🏽
I am a Springbok supporter and I was very disappointed when Sam Cane got a red card. I really believe it was a rugby incident. Sam Cane is a decent guy and a good player. Lots of respect for you and your views!
Thank you for the kind words about our former captain. While I have immense respect for Cane, I can't help but feel that his performance in that final will likely haunt him. It's a tough moment, and I’m sure it weighs on him deeply. Such a difficult situation for him.
Hansen has a loser mentality. Cane executed dangerous tackle on Jesse which is red card in terms of Rugby rules. There was an aerial tackle rules transgression before Smith's try that was shown in TMO replay. All Blacks awarded penalty that could have won them World Cup but missed it. Kolbe was punished and another last minutes penalty for All Blacks awarded and it was missed, Du Pond and some coaching staff blamed the referee after quarter finall loss but they couldn't point out where the referee was wrong. They're trained in the rules of Rugby and assisted by trained TMO Officials. So they understand Rugby ruled better than we do. Let's be happy when we win and stop being bad losers.
Hansen's comments makes the victory so much sweeter, even though it is a year later.😅
I agree brother 🤝🖤💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Absolutely, there's true resilience and heart in the Springboks' victory over us, and we can't deny the quality they brought to the table. The way they played, particularly in high-pressure moments, speaks to their strength and determination. As Kiwi fans, it’s crucial that we start showing the same level of respect for our South African brothers. Their triumph wasn’t just about a single match-it was the result of years of hard work, tactical brilliance, and team cohesion. We, as supporters, should celebrate their success, acknowledging their skill and commitment to the game. Respecting their achievement doesn’t take away from our pride as Kiwis; rather, it shows the true spirit of sportsmanship and humility that should define us all.
Hansen's utterances was really unfortunate, he conveniently forget about the missed conversion and penalty that could've changed the outcome. It was only a point win, do the math 😊

Instead of focusing on the disappointments, we should take pride in the competition and celebrate the excellence of teams like South Africa.
