As an Italian I am ashamed of what Lovotti (and partly n. 17 also) did. There is no place for such behavior anywhere, let alone on the rugby field. I say sorry to our South African friends.
All good, Stargazer - the foolish action of one player doesn't take away the respect and passion of Italian Rugby. Also saw Sergio checking on Vermeulen after that tip tackle, showing great concern - a class act
Should have been both Italian players red carded though... imagine if that was NZ vs SA, without a doubt both players would have been red carded and put on report with follow up match bans because both picked up the SA player and drove him head first into the ground. Here in NZ rugby is our sport and we see hard hits all the time but this one made me actually cringe and have serious concern for our South African brother, looked like a neck breaker
Yes we have come through to the finals. Your Vanuatu especially Port Vila and Efate supporters are with you in this final and pray that will get the Rugby World cup 2019. As usal sit around bowls of our traditional kava. watch to night. Even England is also tough nad confidence you will make it. God Bless South Africa.
Honestly I have no idea what Lovotti was thinking there. They had an advantage due to offside and they were 5 meters off. They could have scored there and put them within one score of the Boks, and then who knows what could've happened then(unlikely, but, you never know). It would of least made for a more exciting match. It's these kinds of stupid plays that are costing this Italian team so much, and in this game it's as blatant as ever.
Yes I did . He is a awful commentator . He is one of twenty at least uo here in Ireland , England , Scotland ,, Wales . In all sports its beyond A Joke . They really are hard work .
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Much as they talked up the game, they were never going to win it. But yes, without the red card and the uncontested scrums, it would have been a better contest. Still would have ended in a comfortable win for SA though. Sorry.
Ivor Biggun Umm...in all honesty even if Italy didn’t get the red card they still would’ve lost to South Africa 🇿🇦 imo. Boks just have too much firepower for a team like Italy.
Italy played the man and not the ball...simple as that...there should have been a couple of yellows against them too...whats with the delayed shoving of the try scorer ?
I was Also Very Surprised EBEN ETZEBETH DIDN'T GO IN AND CLEAN HOUSE . He was looking right at it . Ps he is one of my all time Favourite Player's . He is in my all time 15 along with Joost RIP. IV BEEN FOLLOWING RUGBY FOR YEARS . SOUTH AFRICA HAVE HAD SOME SERIOUSLY GREAT PLAYER'S AND STILL DO .
yeah you might be on to something. i watched it yesterday but i can remember people scoring tries and then being pushed over out of play and players being held by their feet in the air and dropped. nasty stuff.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Respect for a superior opposition. The Italians were shocking on the day & I'm not even referring to their performance. Too much off the ball & employing spoiling tactics. Lovotti & Quaglio should be cited for the "assault" (can't think of a better word) on Duane Vermeulen & both should receive lengthy bans. If you can't have respect for your opponents at least have some respect for the game & the laws that govern it.
nathan van der Riet Potentially yes, I usually consider spear tackles to be horizontal though (Bokke had several big spear tackles in the game) so may have been some confusion.
He also steps the other way when required! Check out the other videos that focus just on him. The left then right is just because of where he happens to be on the field...
Italy plated with zero class, where as SA were so calm infact, besides Messi and such ppl, if you give the kind of energy Italians did, in soccer, the other team would have retaliated and stooped to their level
16:24 Notice the refereeing till the try - plenty of scrapy play and penalities (holding on the ball etc.) but to "play on" makes the game just brilliant. A good ref makes for a great game, not hearing a whistle is so amazing idk why. "AM scores at a walking pace" - yeah because the ref didn't blow his whistle and give them a little 'rest'
Remember this game. Only 17-3 half time, Italy had the chance to close the gap early second half to 17-6 or 17-10, then they needlessly get a red card from an absolutely ridiculous tackle. The SA player was literally vertical as he went down on his head. Could have been a much more interesting game without the red.
we only have 2 games against Japan and its 1-1. I prefer Japan so that we starting showing our brilliance on records, plus they are survivors and hard workers, i'm sure it will be a great game
We should face Japan unless they crash and burn against Scotland. We are also far more equiped to contain the Japanese than the Irish were. Japan also won't be as physical, which is good, because if we have to play Ireland, then Wales, then New Zealand, we will be broken by the final.
Does anyone else think the obstruction call just before 14min was a bit tough? Not a terrible call. I've just seen much worse and deliberate obstructions not penalised.
@Dustin McCrindle maybe due to the player didn’t look like he was deliberately obstructing... but maybe a different camera angle would have shown different
Italy had 2 props off with injuries and 1 sent off with a red card.. no doubt we got stamped on. We would have lost anyway, but it wouldhave been fun to see it with the full squad. Lovotti was an idiot!
Both those Italians should've gotten a red card. It would've spoiled the game further. But both were illegal. They tipped Duane after the whistle went. Just ridiculous. It was the first time and only time in the game that Italy managed to get a penalty on the Boks 22 and these guys just ruin it.
I said it before and I'll say it again, those Italian players, who dumped the Bok No.8, should have been given a year's suspension, for basically being as*holes. Trying to end a players WC and career, because you are losing a match!?!?!?
They didn’t do it on purpose, they knew what they did right away and were ashamed, they had so much momentum and penalty advantage, if they actually wanted to end a players career in that match they would of done it at any time but then
As an Italian I am ashamed of what Lovotti (and partly n. 17 also) did. There is no place for such behavior anywhere, let alone on the rugby field. I say sorry to our South African friends.
Don't worry my friend we can always have a beer after the game.What happened in the field stays there !
@@harold9232 That is the spirit of rugby

This Bok team is magical. It's not often you get a team you love every one of them, but this is such a team. My Boois!!!
South African players are so respectful. Well-deserved champion
16:24 to 18:00 is probably the greatest advertisement for rugby that I’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful madness and glorious chaos.
And still people say South Africa are boring...
I was thinking the same. I'm hooked!
I’d say 15:00 to 18:00
de Allende's pass under pressure is world class
22 minutes of highlights, there is a god...
George Hornsby hahah I know
Can we just talk about how good the Boks passing was??
Yes some superb handling in this game - in particular, the skills of: Snyman, Mbonambi, Du Toit and De Allende - Belissima
Ernst Gottschalk x
I like how clear the ref audio is
You can even hear the bokke yelling their commands in Afrikaans
It provides a lot of clarity for us. We know exactly why the refs make certain decisions
@@jancovanderwesthuizen8070 I like that too. "Hy is joune!"
"Thank you, Sergio!"
Kolbe, Hollard and Faf de Klerk are game changers. They are the best
I am glad the dummie got send off. He nearly killed that SA player.
Should have been both Italian players red carded though... imagine if that was NZ vs SA, without a doubt both players would have been red carded and put on report with follow up match bans because both picked up the SA player and drove him head first into the ground.

Fantastic quick play from SA, some of their handling was top notch.

Haha same! I must have watched these about 20 times! Still haven't had enough 🤣🇿🇦
Why
Me too brother
still watching dude! almost a year on now! Somebody help me.
Congratulations from nz thanks for getting one over the English on our behalf 😀
Love these Commentators, they make every game special!
when my country south africa encouter problems, i visit such games,
we still have hope for this country.....
This South African Number 14 is really good with sidestepping, I've watched on several occasions now.
Tevin Tarso Damiond vlommser
#14 has tremendous basketball Euro step type moves.
14 is cousin of 400m athlete wayde van niekerk....now you know
@@melmel8745 now that explains why no one can catch him🤣😂
Kolbe inspires me a lot!
Him and Pollard🤗
that double headed pile drive by Italy of Springbok deserved TWO RED CARDS....breaking necks is serious crime.
Totally, they both should have gotten the RED CARD not just one!
@@thestickmoriYT then the score would have been 80--3
Agree....two red cards...
SA's depth at lock is nuts.
Yes to have Marks as a replacement!
Best 4 locks in the world
@@harold9232 4 of the best. Retallick at full health would walk into my dream team and I'm a Saffer.
@@RobertPaterson Marx is hooker not lock
Think England’s depth is better; Itoje, Lawes, Launchbury, Kruis. Would all start in most teams.
Kolbe is our new Bryan Habana qondile
Different players, different styles, same result :)
What about Mapimpi?
Mzwandile Stishi I agree Mapimpi is the new Habana. Same traits in speed and a good side step as secondary weapon. Kolbe is side step then speed.
Honestly I have no idea what Lovotti was thinking there. They had an advantage due to offside and they were 5 meters off.

18:36 That one hand catch of Snyman from a lineout is Gold 👌👌🤾♂️
His hand is as big as a steering wheel..I'm not joking..signed my jersey when he was still playing for the Bulls
Anyone notice that the commentator was calling Etzebeth:de Jager for the first two mins?😂😂
Yes I did . He is a awful commentator . He is one of twenty at least uo here in Ireland , England , Scotland ,, Wales . In all sports its beyond A Joke . They really are hard work .
Well played from your supporters in Vanuatu. Will watch your progress to the Semis..Good Luck and God Bless
Kolbe is the new Habana
Mate, I think he's better. Habana never had a step like Kolbe does.
He is nothing like Habana though, a completely different type of winger
Kolbe is kolbe. Habana was a good finisher but couldn’t make something out of nothing like kolbe, and in all honesty had a disastrous 2010-2011.
Kolbe always seems to run for his life among all these giants - his success is sheer struggle for survival ;-)
@@oumasannie1 you are the sort of knobhead that wants to put a legend like Habanna down.
How dare you !
Cheslin Kobe, Player of the tournament contender
Spot on,absolutely no doubt about that.
Like Habanna in 2007.
@Dahn 🤣🤣🤣
@@RRSmurf Faf has been average this tournament.Definitely Kolbe as our MVP
@@squishypotatoo5304 You're telling me this why?
a good player but NZs richie mounga is going to be the player of the tournament
That was a dreadful and utterly pointless tackle which led to the sending off. Sealed Italy's fate.
Think their fate was sealed when they left the change room. But yes, utterly ridiculous tackle.
Not the sharpest chisels in the toolbox,them two

Feels like Italy were not playing with respect

Respect, yes. But not with discipline. A lot of penalties. This is how I feel. (PS: except the tip tackle. That;s just nasty).
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Italians push their opponents after they scoring a try, I think those unnecessary pushes could be avoided
@Alfa&Omega 00000 You are right, but idk it just doesn't feel a good game to me by their part
Loving these extended highlights!!
Omg that spear tackle was criminal what was he trying to achieve?
gusti bona Spear tackle was legal.. what was Italy’s #1 doing? That was criminal
@@khyber04 You're both referring to the same tackle?
nathan van der Riet Potentially yes, I usually consider spear tackles to be horizontal though (Bokke had several big spear tackles in the game) so may have been some confusion.
Kolbe is a natural to step left then right and score his try is the final exactly the same step.
that is known in the basketball world as the Euro step.
He also steps the other way when required! Check out the other videos that focus just on him. The left then right is just because of where he happens to be on the field...
@@henavarrete no one cares about basketball mate
Marvelous performance from the boks🔥💯 salute to Italy for trying their best👏

I'm digging that. Which branch though?

He was pushed on purpose to delay the ball and give springbok to organize their defense.

I'm not 100% sure so can someone explain why it wasn't a double red card? Seemed like both players picked, tipped and drove down equally

I wish that when my elder brother and I were fighting, my mother would have penalized only the 'worst offender'
It’s fascinating how rugby referees knows players by name.
I bet in soccer only Messi and Ronaldo can be remembered 6:25
Soccer players have their names on the backs of their shirts 🤦♂️
“You can’t go around picking players up.”
especially after the whistle
Both 1 & 17 should have been red carded.
