Agree, I think that because he is host he thinks has to be in the conversation and drive the podcast and a confidence thing in he feels he needs to be in the conversation to feel important
To those complaining abt shimmy interrupting the other guys..... Thats because the way these guys see these punditry duties is not as a formal formal formal stiffy (and stuffy) thing but like a bar room chat over some cold ones. Its why this program is so popular like allez allez
a bit sad that after tonight, most of the countries fans and team are going home.......some of the fans from tier 2 countries had been absolutely amazing
Thank you to all the South Africans and Kiwis for constantly reminding us of our world cup past. Because, as you know we are completely ignorant of our own History. We know it well enough. We've studied it. Learned from it. Grown from it. But, with your eyes firmly focused on the past you didn't see us coming. Or you didn't want to see us coming. And here you are again, judging this Irish team on it's History. We are here and now. And we don't give a fig about History. Ours or Yours.
Told you all ireland will be going home crying😂 You don’t win 16 games on the trot and then claim to be the best now and in the future. Talk to us after winning for 100 years consistently…..ireeeland ireeeeeland ireeeeeeeland😂
2 minute chat about NZ Ireland, then randomly talks about french and SA wingers and the second half of the video talking about a night out. Have that chat in your own time. Terrible effort at punditry...
It’s funny to hear anyone talk about the All Blacks like that….they were there for the first 40 minutes…..that’s usually they way We talk about our opponents lol times are changing
Ireland have this. They matched the Boks in the brutality stakes. Their front five are better and they are unbeaten whereas the All Blacks were beaten by France. Winning mentality is huge in a psychological game like rugby. Stick a few quid on Ireland. You can thank me later.
I thought that aswell but it’s not true. According to the Stan Sport guys (Morgan Turinui, Tim Horan, Sean Maloney, etc) apparently he is the most biased AB and crusader supporter “off-air”. So he does well for himself considering that
@@tiomiguel999 they said it in a broadcast during super rugby season. I cant remember what game it was (I assume a crusaders game). They were talking about worst people to watch rugby with and they said how bad Mehrtens is with Abs and Crusaders saying he screams at the tv 😂
This is like the kiwis vs kangaroos, kangaroos should win because man for man they’re much better same goes for abs…they should win because man for man they’re (way) better than Ireland.
Mehrtens saying he is trying to be impartial … brilliant! To say “if we played this ten times over we’d win three” … that’s the most fabricated impartial positive. So basically Ireland are 3/10? Does that sound more accurate 😂 … and as for referencing the NZs playing for Ireland; that’s clutching at straws. Let’s not get started on the AB imports over a century or more. As an Englishman, it’s funny to watch the desperate patriotism. We know we are sh*t
@@thrusta100 In Europe we don't take into account your country of birth. It's based on your blood, or rather the nationality of your parents. You view things one way, we view them another.
@@stiofain88 A kiwi is a kiwi my bro. It's not about blood down here, it's where you're born. We don't import, we manufacture and export. World rugby is what it is because we made it so, we taught the world how to play. When you think of the standard to attain, you think of the AB's. Doesn't mean we can't or won't lose to Ireland tho, they're so bloody electric atm. Enjoy the ride while it lasts bro, no team in the world can come close to our stats any time soon. Damn I can't wait for AB's v Ireland, that's gonna be one HELL of a battle.
@@jbrassic5434 In that case Ireland has the exact same amount of foreign born players as NZ. 8 out of 33 in each squad. Don't know why it's an issue. Only Argentina and South Africa use 100% native players and mostly that's because no one in the other rugby playing nations would move there.
Love Mehrtens, he's a funny f**ker
Im here for Mehrtens, give the man his own show
Good humour, great energy, felt like I was sat in the middle. Well done gents...
The man, the myth, the legend. Bryan runaway habana
Andrew Mehrtens
@@jptiger773 I reckon😂
Why does Shimmi never allow others to talk without being interrupted by him?
I don't know why I dislike shimmy so much
Agree, I think that because he is host he thinks has to be in the conversation and drive the podcast and a confidence thing in he feels he needs to be in the conversation to feel important
put a sock in him
Because some people aren't made to be hosts.
Think he's just learning😊
Come on ABz and South africa!! push through boys!
Seeing these two makes me miss that generation of ABs & Boks. Best years of rugby these 2. So good to see them.
You means the era the ABs won two back to back? No thanks
Great session boys. Bit of banter, a lot of humour. Always makes for a good time but some good analyses of each team. Winners are grinners after all.

Shimi is class
Totally agreed with you mate, well put.
a bit sad that after tonight, most of the countries fans and team are going home.......some of the fans from tier 2 countries had been absolutely amazing
Lads - you should have waited until the teams were announced ;-)
Best rugby show IMO. Fantastic.

All blacks South Africa final
That's a lot of words from someone who claims not to care...

Why call this a Kiwi Irl preview?
Mehrtens giving AB 30 % chance to win equates to $3.30 odds. Current market price of $2.30= 43% , makes nz not a great wager.
I reckon it’s more like 60-40 Ireland.
ABs win by 8 points
Hundred percent, most of these SA tslk shows presenters do dat, shimi, Bobo and owen, give the guys dat have been der done dat a chance to talk plez
Short answer: Yes
No. sorry it is not happening
They can but doesn't mean they are guaranteed
😂😂😂😂 bye bye
Do’nt worry abt STYLE
these oaks wish to talk talk TALK and chat STACKS and NON STOP
So LET THEM!
…this show is really successful
👊🥂‼️🔥
Great craic
No. Next 😁😜
Armageddon is coming for Ireland 🇮🇪
Hands up..the beer situation was all us.. -Ireland
Sadly NO the ABs will win
❤🇳🇿 UP THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS BABYYYYYYY 🇳🇿❤
Oh yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh!💪💪💪💪🏆🏆🏆🏆

Shimmi - let the others speak without interrupting !!!
Go Ireland and France
All Southern Hemisphere semi. The Boks then to win. You heard it here first.
Worked in Bugsy's there many years ago. Bet he was there with Nick Farr Jones.
Shimange is a great host. I just wish he wouldn't interject as much as he does. He disturbs the flow of the interviews.
Up Bows
Can Shimmy stop interrupting people when they are talking - its bloody rude and inconsiderate
It’s funny to hear anyone talk about the All Blacks like that….they were there for the first 40 minutes…..that’s usually they way We talk about our opponents lol times are changing
7 wins out of 10 Andrew? exaggeration overload old boy
na
New Zealand pundits keep saying about the Italian game beating Italy
Christ Italy are shite and your nearly getting kicked out of 6 nation's
AB"s never estimate... even if they been inconsistent...
didn't they only lose to France by 4 and run Ireland close in the 6 nations?

Abs to end the streak .
Ireland will fall short
France beat allblacks Ireland beat boks France and Ireland go through 😊
@@Irish780 don’t think so Ireland will fall short potatoes all round
@@iroamroyalkhan1628 yes a lot of people died of starvation during they famine this is not they place to discuss that
pfft merthens wth.....
Aussie Mehrtens hates the all blacks,subtlely puts them down all the time.This is a 50/50 game and Ireland are not strong favouriites

Ireland to win this match by 15+ -- face France in the Final....
Alright 👌🏾
As an Ireland fan, that's disrespectful. NZ isn't Scotland. It's going to be a close game either way.
Good blogs guy unbiased😢 toss of coin
It won't be 15 points to ireland they'll be a one score either way the match is 50 50
NZ by 14.
