Thank you Naas for your sagely honest words about the cards. I can get past the game now and put it to rest. A grateful and humbled Kiwi. Congratulations to the Springboks and South Africa. Best!
The label “Legend” has almost become meaningless in today’s throw away world, but the Great Nass Botha truly was and still is a genuine Legend. I thank The Lord above that I was privileged to see this great man at his best. Thanks for all the wonderful memories Naas, God bless you and yours.
To anyone who doesn’t know this legend, this man was the best kicker of his time. Penalties, drop goals… you name it, there was nobody who could touch this guy. Shame he never had a chance to go to a WC.
@fanivermaak5593 K-- man. Naas was n fantastiese losskakel. Die 1976 All Black's wou altyd vir Naas sien speel in die Paar voorwedstryde waarin hy gespeelhet. Hulle het hom hoog "gerate", as n speler, em het n punt gemaak om vroeg by die rugbyveld te kom om hom te sien speel.,
Excellent analysis of the game... and this is coming from a Kiwi! Well done Boks absolute class last night and all tournament... Today hurts a lot as I felt on another day we would have had it... but as Naas put it - you gotta win on the scoreboard and that is all that matters, there isn't another day...
It had to hurt for one of the two teams. Only one can win on the day. Don't worry, the ABs have got youth on their side and they are building nicely. Maybe next time we will be hurting.🤷♂The final could have gone either way, in any case, so neither team was really better than the other, they were both great. Unfortunately, NZ missed two kicks at poles and that was ultimately the only difference.
The spectacle doesn't matter? Getting the big decisions right and consistent doesn't matter? Shoe on other foot the Saffers would be begging for blood. So proud of the ABs to stick at it like they did and make a game of it but Fozzy didn't deserve the WC honour but the players did.

Well, that's the way the game is supposed to be played. If everyone just do his job, you win the game. There is a certain role every player has to fullfill, and if they do it well, the game is won.

WOW, one of my ultimate heroes. Naas Botha.. Thank you for being honest and that you have perspective. It just shows the tipe of character you have. Hope to see your canal goes from strength to strength.. Good luck. Ou Blou Bul. Cape Town... 😅
When I saw... Naas Botha,I quickly shared the video to my kids,because literally on Sat I was telling my kids about you Sir,about how a legend you are.They don't have much background when it comes to rugby but now thanks to the rugby world cup they're very keen. Thank you for this review.
Thanks Naas, never saw you play in your prime as I only started watching rugby around 1992, but still saw you play for the Boks. You are an absolute rugby icon and national treasure. Good luck on your RUclips journey, from a fellow content creator!
Naas Botha. Legend. Read the game like a book. And by the way ran the ball too besides drop place and kick like a machine. A brilliant rugby and philosophical mind.
Naas Botha, what a legend! You will always be my no.1 flyhalf and tactician of the game. I watched your progress since I was a child. The way you manipulated the game of rugby was amazing. Next time, be on the panel. You are a true world champion in my eyes
Baie dankie vir die moeite doen vir die channel Mr Botha.Enige woorde en insigte van jou af is goud werd.Mis jou vreeslik op Supersport Rugby.Reuse fan van ek n laaitjie was ,my eerste rugby herinneringe is jy op losskakel en Johan Heunis op heelagter.
Well said, Naas, I've always enjoyed your expert discussions, nice to have you on this platform! Ja jy weet ek was in 1981 'n eerstejaarstudent op Tuks en ons het vroegoggende in die tv-saal na jul wedstryde op daai betogertoer in NZ gekyk. Daar was julle darem bitter ongelukkig om nie die reeks te deel nie maar daar het ek jou legedariese spel begin volg ... Dankie vir als wat jy al vir rugby gedoen het. Sien uit na jou praatjies hier.
Lekker to see you again Naas. I used to pretend I was Naas Botha practising my kicking in our backyard back in the day. Yoh lekker memories! Great game analysis too!
The Boks defence was absolutely brilliant. Take note: they defended a one point lead for more than a quarter of the match - 63 minutes from the 57th to the final whistle, and with 14 men on the field for part of that time. Yes, South Africa richly deserved to win the championship 👏

Nass. What a great Springbok. But hang on - the most important part of SA rugby history - Transvaal and also Bok 10 Gerald Bosch singed my broken leg plaster. Vereeniging 1974. I was 13. A Rhodesian Bok supporter for ever more. Well done team of 2019 - 2023 !!
Amazing that we get this kind of contenet from legends where they can be themselves and thier opinions not washer down by media scripts because of youtube.
When i saw there red card incident, i also thought it was excessive. Im glad you mentioned it. I've enjoyed your unbiased discussions on the world cup, and whenever our paths align, this All Black fanatic will be back. In my childhood you were a legend when you played, and you're still a legend. Best wishes with your future endeavours, and congratulations to the Springboks in becoming the 2nd consecutive winner of the RWC (sorry, couldnt help it). One point of contention, its easy to peak every four years to win a tournament, but its alot more difficult to maintain that position over 2 terms, or 3 terms. Class is permanent, but even the riff-raff has its day in the sunlight.
Thank you so much for that frank and objective take on the final. It is classic Naas, saying it as he sees it, but with the addition of total sense and expertise. For those who ask if the Boks were worthy winners, Naas is absolutely right: the score board never lies, and we must forget the 'would have, should have, could have etc.'. One major fact, not a point, a FACT, the Boks played the 5 of the top teams in world on their way to the final, including the All Blacks in the final. Fact: it was the hardest route to the final in the history of the world cup in terms of teams they played against on the world ranking basis. No doubt whatsoever that they are worthy champions. Naas, may I ask, I heard that you were involved in coaching of sorts in India. What is your take about the future of Indian rugby based on your experience over there? tks
Congratulations South Africa, well played but we never had a chance playing 76 minutes with only 14 men. But I take absolutely nothing away from you victory, your defence was absolutely immense incredible performance. Can I ask you your views on how sanitised world rugby has made the game, imho there was not one cardable offence in that game from either side, I’d love to hear want some of your hulking Afrikaaner forwards from yesteryear think of how soft the game has become and ruck & mauls laws in general. Also your opinion on the TMO controlling the game now (in general not referring to the final). Enjoyed watching you here in ‘81 apologies for the reception you received. Respect to our South African rugby brothers.
As a Bok fan, I feel for ABs red card. 90% of cards given these days should not be awarded. The fault lies with the rules, not the ref. And to those crybabies that say we cheated our way to victory in the quarters and the semis, shame on you. Credit to ABs, most gracious in defeat.
A legendary player gives his opinion on one hell of a game, while we had to listen to studio teams in the US do the best they can. Give Naas a contract, and get him in a studio please, especially since the tournament will be here in 8 years. Immediate sub, best of luck with the channel, and much love out of the USA
Nothing has more credibility than a legend who gives an unbiased critique without the hype. This has been the greatest RWC ever and I have to credit France with this, The end result is a true reflection of Rugby today and the greatest team the world has ever seen were deservedly the victors. I loved the showing of the 2nd tier nations. This truly shows that rugby is growing and growing in the right direction and the real winner is by far RUGBY.
Subscribed immediately! Like oom Naas said on SuperSport after the Japan and Wales games in 2019, this is a World Cup and at the knockout stages, all that matters is advancing.
Naas Botha, the legend. Thanks for your breakdown of the Final and the RWC. I appreciate your fairmindedness in regard to the yellow and red cards given to NZ. Regardless of whether my team won or lost, I think the TMO, ref and rules are trying their best to ruin the game. I'd prefer to go down to my local park and watch a game. World Rugby is to blame here for having too many frustrating rules which are inconsistently ruled upon. Now they're trying to water down the quality of the Tournament by expanding to a 24 team event in 2027. Also, perhaps the 2 Nations playing the game, in future, can jointly select a referee to officiate the game. 2 SH teams... surely a neutral SH ref would be best for the occasion given they will referee to the style both sides are all used to... same applies to 2 NH teams playing. As a rugby spectacle, absolutely terrible advertising for our game given all the stoppages and indecision. Congratulations once again South Africa.
A lot of commentators said the worldcup will be won by "Moments" (Kolby kick charge). In the final one can see several moments (Again Kolby tacle on AB wing and Kwaga taking to ball ) were desisive moments to just call a few
Hi Naas. Firstly to mention, I have enjoyed your analysis. Then congratulations to the Springbok team , the players , support staff and management. Fantastic win . Congratulations to the AB's , they could have won that game despite being 1 man down . Not to get into any negativity and because I thought the officiating was good but I have a question about the Shannon Frizell incident with Bongi . When I first saw it , I thought that knee going down was deliberate and was quite angry . I let it go and not letting it colour my view of the game but for the sake of my sanity , am I completely off base to think that could have been deliberate ?
I tend to disagree with him on many of points. The yellow card was maybe harsh. The red card was correct. Naas obviously never saw Jesse Kriel lying on the ground underneath that ruck literally feeling his teeth to check if they were all still in his mouth. New Zealand are notorious for dirty play. They got called out for it at Twickenham just before the World Cup. Seems they never learn. They have no discipline.
Oh Rubbish - Get your Head outta your Ass. Cameras see everything. Players are far more careful these Days - that's why we never see a Fistfight anymore.
Really great to hear your thoughts and comments here, Naas, as when Pollard kicked, he reminded me of you... But, being the legend that you are - I can't recall any other kicker in your calibre.... Seems you've trained Handre.... Brilliant🎉🎉
Naas I was wondering what happened to you nice seeing you .Missed your great analysis of the game and just your knowledge and never biased comments. I am happy and appreciate having you on my phone.
Extremely proud of the Springboks and everyone in the support and coaching staff. Well done, it takes a lot to win two cups back to back! Love your views Naas!
Naas you were loved and hated but you were a great Srpringbok , always remember Danie Gerber on senter with you , are you still coaching ? Hope so ,Thanks for your comments
Your white shit is as crisp and clean as your shorts after game day. Great game summery Naas, but I would say they were better than us in the line out. PSDT won the game for us, legand.
Naas Botha, the greatest number 10 of all time. I do agree that the red card for Sam Cane was too harsh. He clearly did not make a dangerous tackle on purpose.
Danki baie Naas. Jou opsomming van di wedstryd is puik. Onthou teen Irland het ons ook skoppe ni oorgesit ni, en dit ons maak verloor. Ek glo di springbok afrigterspan was puik maar sal dalk ni di 2 foute herhaal ni. Gaan nooit op toer sonder 2 hakkers ni. Deon was puik maar di lynstaane het erg gesukkel. Dan ook moet n span goeie skoppers hê. Een nommer 10 wat sukkel om paale toe te skop was ook n fout. Onthou hoeveel keer di bulle en Springbokke gewen het, net van Naas se skopvoet af.
Damien Willemse was way ahead of anybody on the high ball, especially in the first 30mins, and he spoiled the AB's kicking game. The perfect fullback. Go back and watch the first half hour and look at what he did. Solid as a rock.
a privilege to hear from Naas, Springbok hero. This channel will explode no doubt, and he deserves it

Subscribed immediately! Like oom Naas said on SuperSport after the Japan and Wales games in 2019, this is a World Cup and at the knockout stages, all that matters is advancing.
A rugby World Cup hat trick is
the holy Grail of every rugby fan
No one can argue with this! Cheers!
Nice to hear from Naas again!
I did not even know Naas had a channel! Ek het vir oom Naas gekyk speel toe ek nog 'n laaitjie was! Subscribed immediately!
The great Naas Botha... A legend
Naas Botha, the legend. Thanks for your breakdown of the Final and the RWC. I appreciate your fairmindedness in regard to the yellow and red cards given to NZ. Regardless of whether my team won or lost, I think the TMO, ref and rules are trying their best to ruin the game. I'd prefer to go down to my local park and watch a game. World Rugby is to blame here for having too many frustrating rules which are inconsistently ruled upon. Now they're trying to water down the quality of the Tournament by expanding to a 24 team event in 2027. Also, perhaps the 2 Nations playing the game, in future, can jointly select a referee to officiate the game. 2 SH teams... surely a neutral SH ref would be best for the occasion given they will referee to the style both sides are all used to... same applies to 2 NH teams playing. As a rugby spectacle, absolutely terrible advertising for our game given all the stoppages and indecision. Congratulations once again South Africa.
Lol love how he still has his collar popped 😎
thanks Naas, I always watch your vids with my Naas se tande
A lot of commentators said the worldcup will be won by "Moments" (Kolby kick charge). In the final one can see several moments (Again Kolby tacle on AB wing and Kwaga taking to ball ) were desisive moments to just call a few
Been a Supporter since I was 9. Glad to be here...
Thx Naas brilliant analysis as always. Would really have loved to see you as a Springbok coach😉
So pleased and so lucky to have access to your contribution Naas - we miss the Greatest of all time - You Naas.
Thanks Naas enjoy your comments Peter Stef was unbelievable ! Watching you from Hawaii Go Bokke !!
Hi Naas. Firstly to mention, I have enjoyed your analysis. Then congratulations to the Springbok team , the players , support staff and management. Fantastic win . Congratulations to the AB's , they could have won that game despite being 1 man down . Not to get into any negativity and because I thought the officiating was good but I have a question about the Shannon Frizell incident with Bongi . When I first saw it , I thought that knee going down was deliberate and was quite angry . I let it go and not letting it colour my view of the game but for the sake of my sanity , am I completely off base to think that could have been deliberate ?
THIS is the channel I was looking, this is who's analysis I am interested in!
I tend to disagree with him on many of points. The yellow card was maybe harsh. The red card was correct. Naas obviously never saw Jesse Kriel lying on the ground underneath that ruck literally feeling his teeth to check if they were all still in his mouth. New Zealand are notorious for dirty play. They got called out for it at Twickenham just before the World Cup. Seems they never learn. They have no discipline.
Oh Rubbish - Get your Head outta your Ass. Cameras see everything. Players are far more careful these Days - that's why we never see a Fistfight anymore.
Really great to hear your thoughts and comments here, Naas, as when Pollard kicked, he reminded me of you... But, being the legend that you are - I can't recall any other kicker in your calibre.... Seems you've trained Handre.... Brilliant🎉🎉
I saw Naas....I thought "On de other hand...." and i clicked subscribe
Naas I was wondering what happened to you nice seeing you .Missed your great analysis of the game and just your knowledge and never biased comments. I am happy and appreciate having you on my phone.
Extremely proud of the Springboks and everyone in the support and coaching staff. Well done, it takes a lot to win two cups back to back! Love your views Naas!
Naas, mooi om jou stembte hoor. Ek het gedink van jou. Jy was doe die beste skoper. Soos hulle se game winner.
Naas you were loved and hated but you were a great Srpringbok , always remember Danie Gerber on senter with you , are you still coaching ? Hope so ,Thanks for your comments
There was at least a half a dozen high tackles on Bok's that wasn't sighted and the try was forward'
Ball went backwards but bounced forward so the perspective is difficult so i think the right decision was made...
Oh my goodness, Naas! Loved watching this man!
Great to hear you Sir. Your analysis is spot on.
Naas.... Golden childhood memories.
The opposition hated him, because he was the points machine.
As we used to say :
Naas is baas!
Very Naas-ly said.
Awesome Naas.
Most valuable player is Pollard,what a cool rugby player.
Best flyhalve at RWC 2023
The one and only Naas Botha
Congratulations SA from Tonga 🙏
Thank you ❤
Your white shit is as crisp and clean as your shorts after game day. Great game summery Naas, but I would say they were better than us in the line out. PSDT won the game for us, legand.
Thank you Naas! Much appreciated.
Naas Botha, the greatest number 10 of all time. I do agree that the red card for Sam Cane was too harsh. He clearly did not make a dangerous tackle on purpose.
Thanks for your objective assessment. Appreciate it!

All due respect 2 Naas Botha SAs' gr8. Thank you for your analysis 🙏🏼 🎉
subbed and liked legend.
Baie dankie Meneer Botha
Leon schuster se gunsteling diegene 😎🇿🇦🏆Springbokke vir ewig 🇿🇦
THIS LIVESTREAM WAS NORMALLY WITH COLONEL CHRIS WYATT!👍🇿🇦🇺🇲🇿🇦🇺🇲
Danki baie Naas. Jou opsomming van di wedstryd is puik. Onthou teen Irland het ons ook skoppe ni oorgesit ni, en dit ons maak verloor. Ek glo di springbok afrigterspan was puik maar sal dalk ni di 2 foute herhaal ni. Gaan nooit op toer sonder 2 hakkers ni. Deon was puik maar di lynstaane het erg gesukkel. Dan ook moet n span goeie skoppers hê. Een nommer 10 wat sukkel om paale toe te skop was ook n fout. Onthou hoeveel keer di bulle en Springbokke gewen het, net van Naas se skopvoet af.
Was a very good game, a win is a win 😂😂🎉🎉🎉😂😅I feel lineouts was 😢 again
Damien Willemse was way ahead of anybody on the high ball, especially in the first 30mins, and he spoiled the AB's kicking game. The perfect fullback. Go back and watch the first half hour and look at what he did. Solid as a rock.
Lekker to see you oom🇿🇦
Awesome to see you Naas. Would be great if you and @Wildkard do a recap video together and discuss the tournament in its enterity.
Geordie Barrett is going to be looking over his shoulder for fear of PSDT for a long, long time.
