Izzy always one of my favourite players, even though he scored some of the most painful tries to watch against the Boks (my team). Favourite fullback, and nice bloke
Israel’s a class act. 60-odd caps for the All Blacks and says “they” instead of “we” when referring to them - it’s a small thing, but shows how humble he is.
Great commentary! Interesting that in the first game the Boks couldn't lock down the win and in the second game the ABs couldn't. As Izzy said it's just not that easy to close out the game with 5 minutes to go.
@@richardscanlan3167 Not it's not. The small margin of victory in that first Test should have told people that the gap between the two isn't as big as everyone thinks. Based on the fact that they could have won it, the victory in the second Test shouldn't be a big surprise.
@@nowelaZA for starters,who even thought there was a gap between the 2 teams. Overall,the boks were probably better - but they weren't good enough to make it count in the first test.And still needed luck to win the second. And I say this,at a time when the AB's are the weakest they have been for decades ( no exaggeration). And it doesn't help that they are coached by an idiot.
Dagg: “The Lions were the 1st team to showcase in 2017 that SA can actually play rugby”…. Jesus Boy!!! ….you do realise that Our Boks are only the world’s Most Successful RWC Team…. and we’ve been playing rugby as one of the top 3 teams internationally for a hundred years…. But Hey…. thanks for noticing in 2017 that SA can play rugby….. Silly Tosser!!!
@@therealmrfishpaste - It’s not me to try and figure out what Dagg said.... and it's certainly not for anyone else to try and explain on his behalf. He spoke plainly enough.... so there's nothing to explain.... and if that wasn't what he meant.... then maybe he should give public interviews a miss.... not quite his thing....
@@therealmrfishpaste - No mate…. I’m not sure which piss poor school taught you that… but here’s what I’ve leant…. When I watch a movie, read a story/poetry or listen to a song… that’s all open to interpretation… yes? Do you know why someone took the trouble to ask Dagg for his opinion and not mine or yours? Because he’s supposed to be an expert on the subject…. so no…. there’s nothing here that’s open to interpretation. I’m guessing in your world all the comments by “expert commentators” is open to be interpreted any way you’d like to see…. in the real world…. that’s just bullshit!!! There’s only one of 2 things happening here…. either Dagg is not half the expert commentator he’s supposed to be…. or he’s mind only works half good so he says stupid shit…. I’m listening…. give me your flowery, idiotic, senseless reply…..
@@paulrooy371 All Blacks vs Springboks. Played 101 tests. All Blacks winning 60 and the Springboks winning ONLY 37 with 4 drawn. 3 RWC LOTTERY TOURNAMENT wins each, yes the Springboks played in less but we all know why that was, don't we?
This wokeness interests me, where does it stop? If a Welshman did something disgusting to society, then by implication all Welshman must apologise and deal with it. Is that how it works. As a South African I can't tell you how many times people I have never met have approached me and said I am also a racist. By implication must all Americans of European decent apologise and ask forgiveness for slavery and genocide. What about Italians, the Romans did some dispicable things?
@@douglasreed007 Huh? What do the Welsh have to do with the price of eggs?! I'm speaking specifically about Guilford, Reece, Frizell, Savea and Mo'unga. All role models. How is protecting women against degenerates a bad thing? The floor is yours...
@@douglasreed007 As a South African I felt so proud when the boys played for our women in SA. Do you think they would tolerate it in the squad if there were known women beaters? You drawing comparisons between being a saffa and a racist is completely irrelevant. It's the same as saying "All Lives Matter". Women are in trouble and they need allies, just like people of colour...
The game I watched showed me they still struggling to play a rush defence a more physical dominating team foward pack This happened last year agonist Argentina , England World Cup and this year with the springboks Playing the flamboyant game is great to watch but against certain countries it’s proven it doesn’t work Look at the types of players and structures Graeme Henry brought in !!! A number of the forwards could barley keep up with the springboks for the first and second test and guess what they are not getting any younger ?? One has to wonder as to why younger forwards aren’t getting more game time and opportunities and players who can play more physical
Great commentary. Thank you for the kind remarks of the Boks. We in SA think the feeling is mutual respect.
Izzy always one of my favourite players, even though he scored some of the most painful tries to watch against the Boks (my team). Favourite fullback, and nice bloke
the sheer terror of dagg catching a long ball in space n running at the line hasn’t been replicated for me i stg
I'm a SA supporter, but damn i miss seeing Dagg play.
A a Bok fan Izzy was always one of my favourites to watch … sublime player !!! Always came across as a super mince guy too
Great interview thanks guys and much love to the classy AB’s & NZ back from South Africa 🇿🇦
Stumbled across this . Great to see Israel Dagg , awesome player , epic match . All blacks and Boks in the US got to be on the cards !!
RUclips put in your path..!😀
Hats off to one of the best rugby legends ever lived. Pitty about the politics. Bless you from SA
respect for Izzy for pointing out the impact Elton made

Distancing himself from the current team...lol
@@quinnfreeman2487 Because he's not part of the current team 🙄
Second dude is a dick. Relying solely on stats for when to kick sticks or touch ?? Step into my office you’re fired!
What a great guy - respect Israel
Springbok fan here. The All Blacks are brothers in arms. Respect
To one of my favorite and all time most talented fullback for the all blacks. Thank you for the honest comments on the boks.
Great commentary! Interesting that in the first game the Boks couldn't lock down the win and in the second game the ABs couldn't. As Izzy said it's just not that easy to close out the game with 5 minutes to go.
People forget pretty quickly that the Boks should have won both games.
Should have? Okay Karen
@@Me-ex7qg Could have is more accurate. Point is, a 2-0 win for the Boks was a real possibility.
@@nowelaZA could have.... but didm't.So,it's moot.

Now that Daggs not playing anymore, South Africans are going to be so complimentary towards him. All the best man😂😂😂💯✌️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
i agree that 2013 match was the greatest game of rugby i ever watched. it was even better than the 101 match even though it was great too
Hyper top bloke
Israel would be good as a rugby Broadcaster
Thank God for us safas that Beauden is not a guaranteed 10. Hopefully Richie Muanga back soon
No need to be worrying about world cups at this point in time.

I think he meant to say (and indeed, did say later) "running" rugby.

Not often you see a native AB kiwi and not the usual immigrant polys.
ABs need to address the abuse that people have received at the hands of their players. They have an obligation...
Be woke somewhere else
