Am a New Zealander but these South Africans are such class acts, humble to a fault although maybe not behind the scenes. They have such respect for one another. Pollard, don't get a big head but you shine, one of the very best rugby players I have even seen. Goodluck with everything.
Thank you my friend. Be proud of your national team. Siya is a inspirational leader who will change the dynamics of professional rugby in South Africa forever. See you at the final my friend.
Professional, disciplined and concise. The Boks have come a long way. Even the interviews are measured. This team is no fluke, no one hit wonder. They are at their very best in these tournaments and know what it takes. England has the chops, but they would have to dig inhumanly deep to beat this team that is riding high on earned confidence, cohesion and...braaivleis.
Yes we aren’t expecting to win Saturday just to put up a good show. We’re planning for 4 years time. Eddie going & Borthwicks arrival is still a new situation
The Springboks have always been an impressive team at the top of the sport, but I think this current crop is probably the best ever. Before this tournament started, I thought the winners would be either, Ireland, France or South Africa, and despite New Zealand's impressive return to form I still think the 'boks will hoist the trophy. But, my track record isn't great, I picked 4 losers in the quarter finals, so what do I know? Despite the ludicrous draw, this has been a fantastic world cup so far - Good Luck to all!
I hope the Boks absolutely spank the living daylights out of the poms. Mind you, as an AB supporter I’d rather play the poms in the final if we get through.
@@craigmorgan4676 Well, yes, but when McCaw was manipulating referees the Head of Referees was from New Zealand. . In the last few years the top-two teams are from Ireland and France and the Head of Referees (they call it "Head of Officials") is, er, um, cough, Irish-French What are the odds of that?
alot of anti-Ritchie comments I notice in reply to your statement..........so many people still smarting from their teams being dicked so savagelly during his reign as captain....... the dicking will continue without him.. the Argie-bargies will be tough, but will fold under the pressure next weekend...... and the yarpies gonna cop it in the RWC final. AB's by 25+ .....sorry boyos.... read em n weep! Ka Mate - Ka Mate!! ....( It is death - It is death!!)
Pollard is going to be the difference. Awesome rugby player, game breaker , strong inside and outside backs. Very clever and great boot. Boks to win. Discipline.
Remember meeting Cheslin when he was at the Stormas and I was gr4 at the time. To see him win 2 world cups back to back and being such as influential player as well is truly inspiring. I really want to meet Handré, his such a GOAT
Most pressers in this world cup don't have good audio.the organisers have failed us.saw bongi mbonambi asking for water last week, how can they put an empty glass of water on the table.knowing most of the guys will be coming from training.😢😢
Why are they (World rugby, the cup organisers, whoever sets up these things) still not able to sort out the audio quality in press conferences??? Either you can't hear the questions or you can't hear the interviewees! So frustrating
French supporters will be supporting the boks like every other country probably hopefully some of our british and irish cousins can get behind us but probaly not lol ..were gonna need a lot of luck to beat this springbok team but you never know 👍🏻🏴🇿🇦
They will not be going heavy at training... It will be captains runs all week as the team prepared 4 years for this so the boys are fine... It will be a different game from the Boks... They gonna run more in this one 💃... England took the boks style which is conservative style and boks have moved on from that and have more artillery
Im quite frightened for this upcoming game. More than i was for the France one . Maybe because i thought we were gonna lose to France. Something tells me its a bad weekend ahead. But im still rooting for you Boks.
I’m also have a feeling- England took the All Blacks out in the last World Cup with a exceptional performance- they have it in them to perform in the day and they’ve got the pedigree unlike Ireland to progress in this tournament- Boks I’m sure will keep their eye on the ball so to speak but it’s going to be another big game !
i dont think this time around, we dont quite have the backs, the pack looks powerful but a lot of backs who were in great form in 2019 are a step slower and cant break the line like they used to
As a Bok supporter we are aware of the English and hope we can contain them, I dont even know what our game plan Rassie will be bringing. It will be a classic battle up front and I hope we really dominate.
South Africa just needs to freely express themselves on the rugby field, in terms of hype and expectations, England is no match and everyone knows it! The biggest concern is the referee and discipline on the day.
No, no, no, you can't expect a tier 2 team like SA to be competing with England over a full 80 minutes. Good luck to the plucky bok chaps though, I'm sure they'll have just enjoyed being part of it all and can accept the plaudits for massively overachieving to get to this point.
England want to win but beef, don't see it myself. Got to be mind games! Would love England to win but South Africa look to be on another level unfortunately.
Nothing to do with the video, but seeing Canan Moodie with a beard is so sad, I watched him since he was 18. He's going from boy to man which is good but so sad
A magnanimous response would surely cool violent reaction. Let the accuser reveal identity as hiding it is admission of guilt. There are enough bad losers in war, let slone in sport which is the ultimate victim.
My man you can your beef rare to medium, even well done. Beef is Beef it stays delicious. Like we say here in South Africa, Meat is Meat and a man must eat. Just a joke. We South African dont discriminate, we hate everybody equally.
@@johanvisser1453 Yeah, sure, it's well known that south africans are nearly all vegans and those that aren't exclusively drink fruit infusions instead of coffee.
The Boks shouldn't even be in the semi, that charge down by Kobe of the French conversion kick should not have stood. World rugby have since outlawed the practice.

Thank you. You make me proud to be a South African.
Thank you my friend. Be proud of your national team. Siya is a inspirational leader who will change the dynamics of professional rugby in South Africa forever. See you at the final my friend.
I wish they would pay some attention to the audio in these conferences. Every single one is bad. Sometimes the players are nearly inaudible.
A bit better if you use ear or headphones
No jokes, for the first 30 seconds I thought Pollard was speaking french.
Sound engineers should be fired you could easily just compress and clean it up a little afterwards. This is pathetic

Pollard seems like a class act.
...these bokkie boys are genuine, decent young blokes without arrogance which is so great to see in the flesh
Shame about their fans though 😂
@@OliCM3 hello pot 😅
@@OliCM3 shame u exist though
@@JINXRSAMobile Cheers mate
Absolutely nothing humble about them. A horrible shower, the fans 10 times worse. I used admire them so much but this WC has been really revealing.
Handre, Your demeanour is amazing- i'm very impressed by your interview .
'He's a great guy to play for." Its speaks of Siya's character but more of the squads character and mentality. GO BOKKE!
and nothing fake about you Handre! Bravo and kudos to your professionalism. Thank you for all you've done for our country!
Was he speaking English? Need subtitles
The audio to theses videos is quite bad. I can hear the questions but I can't hear the athletes. Please fix it.
Rugby players give better press conferences than footballers
They all went to posh private schools. Hence they are more articulate.
@@maskless1087Really, where did all of them go to school.
They generally more real and half of their performance isn't based on acting to get penalties.
It's called well mannered. Rugby player's are not meat heads!🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 Rugby players are more intelligent than footballers.
Love Handre Pollard, best thing to happen to Tigers since Freddie Steward
He is a well balanced player. Attack, defense, tactics the whole package as a leader. Awesome!
Handre is a Tiger 🐯 🐯🐯🐯. We can’t wait to see him back at Welford Road.
No Tigers in SA, he is a LION, or more accurately a SPRINGBOK :)
@@Alias-gy3tz love it. Great reply 🐯🌹👍🏼
Europeans supporting South Africa 🇿🇦 👏

We love you Springboks. We will support you 💯 all the way.
Ritchie McCaw, is in my view the gold standard of how to calmly ask referees, to explain things and present a good picture of their team.
Yea but England battered them in the semis 2019!😬🤔👊🦾🇿🇦
Agree but it takes a while for mcCaw to come back on side to talk to the ref
Thats because McCaw understood the rules better than most refs and had the whit to explain it to them in easy un refutable terms..
@@craigmorgan4676 Well, yes, but when McCaw was manipulating referees the Head of Referees was from New Zealand. .
In the last few years the top-two teams are from Ireland and France and the Head of Referees (they call it "Head of Officials") is, er, um, cough, Irish-French

Has any England player ever talked about having Beef with South Africa?
I'm not aware anyone has.
Hes referrring to the world cup final 2019
Yes, Mike Tindall,

🙌and today he did it
Nice prediction !
You're a GEM. Beautiful Vision
Wow, you saw that one coming!
Rugby is a thinking man's and women's game in this modern era. Just don't over think it, use instinct, and natural ability.
Remember meeting Cheslin when he was at the Stormas and I was gr4 at the time. To see him win 2 world cups back to back and being such as influential player as well is truly inspiring. I really want to meet Handré, his such a GOAT
Handré can do anything on tye field. His so consistent
Pollard my hero ❤

3:47 Pollard: it’s just the way we were brought up… ❤🇿🇦
You can tell the sa boys in their various interviews are guarded and serious about finishing this thing off.
We are the challenge, and we come with the Pacific Ocean Nations! Aue hi!
I have no beef with the English players, the English press.
For once they get the questioner mic working, and then they cock up the player mic! 😂 SMH.
Hope England keep up until the end
Let's Go! 🇬🇧
East London ayeye am proud of my home town❤❤
Youngest Bok Moodie.... All 💕👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿♥️♥️
Nothing what the title says is Pollard talking about
Handre Pollard sounds like a "SPARTA" Gerald Butler
French supporters will be supporting the boks like every other country probably hopefully some of our british and irish cousins can get behind us but probaly not lol ..were gonna need a lot of luck to beat this springbok team but you never know 👍🏻🏴🇿🇦
90s kids and ZA rugby. Is all to
Thanks to FNB classic clash and school rivals
Worried abt the fatigue factor for the unchanged squad tho the reason is justified. Especially bongi
They will not be going heavy at training... It will be captains runs all week as the team prepared 4 years for this so the boys are fine... It will be a different game from the Boks... They gonna run more in this one 💃... England took the boks style which is conservative style and boks have moved on from that and have more artillery
This is a top SA team just hope England make a contest of the game!
My Pollard👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿♥️♥️♥️
So you don’t think the draw makes a difference?
Im quite frightened for this upcoming game. More than i was for the France one . Maybe because i thought we were gonna lose to France. Something tells me its a bad weekend ahead. But im still rooting for you Boks.
Yeah agreed, didn't think we had a chance against France. Hope we don't take the English lightly
That’s the spirit!
don't afraid ...O'keeffe is here !
@clownpusher. Have you played alot of rugby yourself?
Yes, I had that feeling too! England came out fighting, stronger than expected but Pollard came through x
I’m also have a feeling- England took the All Blacks out in the last World Cup with a exceptional performance- they have it in them to perform in the day and they’ve got the pedigree unlike Ireland to progress in this tournament- Boks I’m sure will keep their eye on the ball so to speak but it’s going to be another big game !

No, you will see much beef . Then these teams can eat of this beef. Follow with soccer. Sokker!
pity the questions are not audible and the interviewees. barely so - so annoying at this level to have these AVOIDABLE issues not addressed
If there is anything sub standard it's the audio again
Pollard ❤
Need subtitles
Is this football, wwe, ufc? No... Its Rugby, why is the media trying to create this drama. Tomororw will be a fantastic game. Go bokke!!
U BETTER TACKLE THIS WEEKEND POLLARD WE ARENT BLIND!
Laizis Lazis Laizis??? What's the guy talking about b4 the press conference?
Telling the journalists to speak into the mic
No beef.
Only at the braai afterwards.
Go Bokke for 50 points on Poms!!
Wikipedia, specialist Center or wing XD
Is Pollards mic on???
The Springboks couldn't possibly lose the semi-final against England.
All the best boks
England playing like Liverpools Drought Era. Its gonna be 24 years by the next world cup
Nothing to do with the video, but seeing Canan Moodie with a beard is so sad, I watched him since he was 18. He's going from boy to man which is good but so sad
Terrible sound. Too low

What beef?
My man you can your beef rare to medium, even well done. Beef is Beef it stays delicious. Like we say here in South Africa, Meat is Meat and a man must eat. Just a joke. We South African dont discriminate, we hate everybody equally.
@@johanvisser1453 Yeah, sure, it's well known that south africans are nearly all vegans and those that aren't exclusively drink fruit infusions instead of coffee.
Was Jesse at the 2019 world cup? Not sure,maybe thats why he wants this badly-keep Lukanyo on the sidelines...
He was injured in the RWC2019 opening game against the ABs.
Geez they ask some stupid questions!
Real dumb questions here. They almost answer it in their questions
What other sports are antelopes good at? None
The Boks shouldn't even be in the semi, that charge down by Kobe of the French conversion kick should not have stood. World rugby have since outlawed the practice.
World cup is long gone. Remove. Pathetic.
A month passed, but for french to pronounce correctly names of players will pass one more. Alas, it will be too late.
Rugby takes more than just spoiled and over-hyped beef.
Silly Rassie mind games.
Don't tell me Rassie got to your head mate.
@@antonferreria1905 That's the thing. Rassie thinks he is some kind of cunning mastermind, but everyone can see it from a mile away.

Never write off the English
