For kids sport, Siya Kolisi went to the likes community club rugby games and my daughter U9s mixed team were so fired up that he was there. I do believe that on game day that Siya could’ve done a million other things but his choice to go to a community kids club game is amazing and worth a mention in the boks office.
This is the best episode yet. Great commentary and analysis. One of the best teams in World Rugby. The Verdict mixes in well and so did the Koko tie-up. I'd love to see one with @Eggchasers, too.
Am in love with theses guys, the friendship is real. Care about each other. The banter is next level. The laughs, cant help myself. Jean, Schalk and Hanyani. Thank you for a great show. Nothing but love here. AB vs Bokke. 1-1. Cant see 2-0 unless if Rassie has figured out how to win the second match, if we win the first one. However Ellis park match is the most important match of the season. Remendtion.
Absolutely love this show. Loved the collab with KOKO but its best when all are in one place. Hopefully that collab can happen again next time when KOKO and Boks Office are in one place.
I absolutely love the Boks Office! (Lord knows I watch too many rugger channels)😂 What I love about this show is its informality compared with The Verdict, which I see as more analytical 👌🏾I love them both for different reasons! Hope you gents have a good break! 👍🏾 Looking forward to the NZ test 😬😬 literally anything could happen! 😅
@@SuperEdge67olympic success is almost perfectly correlated to funding so not sure what argument you are trying to make? SA is still the most successful African country at the Olympics🤷♂️
Schalk one of my favourite Bok players, great analyst of the game. A Boks/AB test at Eden Park brings the best out of the ABs, it will be trench warfare. From NZ
I think Australia rugby is under huge pressure because of rugby league. It's simpler so more people get into it faster. I think part of opening up the game to larger audiences comes down to the complexity of the scrum. What if you put censors in the forwards' shoulder pads and show pressure points in real time? This would 'gamify' it a little making it more interesting, but we might also start to see patterns in who started pushing first, what happened just before a collapse etc. Please let me know what you guys think 😊
Hey guys! Wouldn't you argue that all the rugby being played is why South Africa is has so much depth right now. More players are playing on average across all comps. The local comps are for blooding future Boks, not playing already established players and killing the small folk in the squad. I am loving the 24/7 rugby we are getting now. Player management needs to be better maybe, but less rugby will have a negative effect on depth in my opinion. Would love to hear the teams opinion on that take. Awesome show boys, keep it up! And where is Lood!?
@@jospike1470 SBW has achieved NOTHING in boxing. He was a b level boxer at best. All the British contenders would beat him as would the Americans. He got knocked out by a washed up Mark Hunt who isn't even a boxer😂🤣
@@JohnDoe-iq9bz just putting suggestions forward to the question posed as to other world rugby stars....due to the range of sports he paryicipated in he would have been exposed to a wider/greater audience.

The Boks are a dominating force in World Rugby at the moment, the Proteas haven't won anything in forever, our Olympic Team ended 44th on the medal table which isn't great, and Dricus is a legend, so only dominant in one sport
We must remember it is talent that God gave us and not done it just by ourselves. I also believe it His way to bring us together as a nation and be a example for the world.
@LittleBigMediaCo jy weet niece wat ons suid afrikaners weet boet. Could be Cliche by now, but Rugby South africa is deeper than just the game at this point.
There's much more to the world of sport than a handful of nations good enough to play top tier rugby. Being on top of the world implies to a sport that 99% of all countries play.
Or winning 50+ Olympic medals. SA act like rugby is the worlds number one game. Lets be honest if the US took rugby seriously instead of american football we would have a big problem unseating them.
I miss Super Rugby, but less is definitely more. Contact sports can't be about match numbers; they need to take care of their bodies and we'll get more quality rugby. Business and Sports can meet eachother halfway, we need a travel sponsor for SA teams like SA Fair or something.
Jean is correct regarding the Aussies - pick the best players from around the world or otherwise they have zero chance of a good showing against the lions.
Im a mom and yes I am worse... But my dad yelled at me and he did not even understand hocky. There did actually break a fight out once... All the parents from both sides got involved, one of the opposing teams parents hit our principal first. All hell broke loose, it was even in the paper
Doubt It. I Think We Would Have A Record Similar To Tunisia. We'd Be At Every Other World Cup While Being At Every Singe Cup Of Nations Even Winning It A Few More Times.
South Africa won ONE gold medal at the Olympics…….New Zealand with a population of 5 million won 10, Australia with 26 million won 18. So no South Africa is not a dominating country in world sport…………far from it.
The boks are global of course. I think aus or nz have had multiple ufc fighters and champs. I think aus and nz do significantly better at the Olympics. But boks are a rugby Force.
Sorry the springboks will not sell out globally that belongs to the ABs they don’t have the haka or that famous black jersey that’s facts but wow what a team you have 🎉🎉
I hope some one in the producing team sees this. Can Jean talk us through teh 2008 Freedom cup experience playing in that era. The violence of that contest between the boks and new Zealand,. How many players get sent of in todays game if they played the way those two tests where played. Talk us through it. And if you are new or have forgotten, go watch those two tests cos Jee whiz hey. Talk about fierce rugby.
South Africa can choose 200 okes to start in springbok team, we still moer them. Tony brown inclusion is a 2027, 2031 gold medal. Make sure Boks don’t get caught up In The celebrity environment. If Boks are doing to much media and to much interviews, means they not focused on the game . Stay focused boys. You want to be the best, segregate yourself from adverts, social media, interviews, celebrity invites . Focus is key to Rassie plan and the first country to win 3 in a row.
106 test matches between South Africa vs New Zealand NZ won 72 SA won 39 That’s including the food poisoning RWC in South Africa also lol Nz has won most of the super rugby competitions and most rugby championships since they started back in the 90s Springboks have won one ☝🏽 more RWC than the All Blacks Not to our recent Olympic medals count blew all these large countries outa the water lol All from a little pacific island population 4 million lol so you might want to change your title there Gumbo 😂😂😂😂😉
The issue with Club Rugby is even in SA, the franchise don’t do a good job in marketing and exposure of the franchise to the public Every sport in SA What sports club do you know generates much following locally let alone internationally
Sport Perspective.. at the recent Olympics Australia won 53 medals including 18 Gold, they finished 4th in the whole world! South Africa won 6 medals, 1 Gold medal and finished 44th.. even NZ won 10 gold medals 20 in total and finished 11th! So It’s a big No, South Africa with a population of almost 60 million is not Dominating World Sport!
Those are first world countries, we don't have the opportunities in a variety of sports like you guys. Sports cost money, a lot of people here defer to the cheaper sports to enroll in ergo. Football, rugby, netball, boxing etc. a lot of the guys also get sports scholarships in schools and not exactly as if they can afford it.
Lads, you don't have to go as far back as Brian Habana for a comparison of Fassi's try - it's a carbon copy of the transition play in the RWC23 QF against France that lead to Jessie's grubber to Cheslin!
Rugby league in Australia poach any good youngster playing rugby Union. That’s the depth and development problem. I am a South African living here in Sydney, and I am a de Villiers 😉
Living in Australia, the country has ~1,000 talented top male athletes, the problem is 95% of them are drawn to AFL and League because union is essentially now the ugly stepsister, run into the ground by a decade of bureaucrats with no love of the game, clinically chasing an increasingly small slice of the profits pie. Yes, there’s a passionate core of players and fans, but they’re on a hiding to nothing, the best they can do is pray that enough saffer and islander expats come through the ranks in the coming few years
People here mentioning the Olympics 😂😂😂 besides soccer, tennis and 7s rugby please tell us what sports in the Olympics is watched outside of the Olympics? South Africa is a powerhouse in popular sports (except for soccer) and yes that includes cricket despite not winning a world cup yet.
Golf, athletics, swimming, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, gymnastics, rowing, cycling...quite a long list. What sports other than rugby is South Africa a "powerhouse" in? I can only think of cricket and that's it...
@@joeskienz South Africa is a powerhouse in golf and swimming... fair point about golf and basketball but gymnastics, athletics, rowing, cycling and swimming etc is not popular outside of the Olympics
Actually NZ WAY outdo South Africa when it comes to dominating sports, in literally every way. And considering nz only has 5 mil people and SA has over 60 mil that’s quite embarrassing for SA. If you actually do your research and not just say “4 wOrLd CuPs” you’ll see that nz actually owns sa at sports
😂😂 most sport that are popular in NZ in SA no one cares about them they don't count as sports that can be prioritized .

@@viwekenneth6028 haha SA think the world cares about rugby. It simply does not. Its a dwindling sport in Australia, Wales and even England. No one takes it really seriously outside of maybe 6 countries.
Love the show but lads. Look at the meddle tally at the Olympics and just pray that the USA and even Australia don’t take rugby seriously. If the players playing league and AFL switched to rugby they wouldn’t loose. Just imagine if NFL players switched…
Springboks are a dominant force, but they are not *the* dominant force. I seriously doubt they win the World Cup Final last year if they weren't playing 14 All Blacks for 65 minutes of the game. I went through a random sample of 10 games and found they conceded less penalties than their opposition in 9 of them, but they could also just be good at forcing opposition into infringing. Eventually Bok fans will find themselves on the wrong end of arbitrary refereeing calls like that, but as of the last 2 seasons they've basically been on the right side of the referee's whistle in almost every game they've played. They remind me of the Carter/ McCaw era All Blacks somewhat with how favorable the refereeing is applied to their game style.
😂yeah I'm sure you guys would have lost big time if your All Blacks Thug didn't injure Bongi Mbonambi in the first 3 minutes of the game which took out our specialist for set pieces and lineouts . 😂 2011 RWC is controversial for NZ because Springboks were robed point blank 😳 by Aussie ref ,hence the Muppet is nolonger referring . We can go on and on. But take nothing for the 2011-15 ABs they were great
😂😂😂heal mate... You play dirty 😅there's consequences for that..let that sink in. A win is a win. Whether the ref was on our side or not...if NZ were the better team on the day they should've known better to be more disciplined and stop with silly mistakes which they got punished for hence they lost that final . Taking out our specialist nr2😂 was not a wise move after all..guess this will stick until your last day on this earth 😂deal with it
@@viwekenneth6028 Not a kiwi and I don't like the All Blacks. Just a fan who woke up at 4 in the morning to watch a good world cup, only for slightly high head contact that had mitigating factors and didn't require a HIA to be deemed a red card and make it a lopsided event. I'd rather my team valiantly lose to 15 guys than see them scrape home against a team with only 93% of it's players, by a single point.
@@Waywind420 yup if they would have behaved they wouldn't have had to be player short and maybe they wouldn't have missed kicks as well and we wouldn't have had our main guy injured with first few minutes . We will go round and round in circles mate 👍
@@viwekenneth6028 I can't remember what happened to Mbonambi, I think he had his knee twisted at a ruck right? Cane's red card was pretty unfair though, Kriel veered into it a little bit and Cane clipped him slightly high. Kriel never went off for a HIA so it obviously wasn't deemed to be that serious. I think Wayne Barnes himself was actually pretty shocked that the TMO was overruling his on field yellow card decision and upgrading it to a red card. At the end of the day 20-minute sin bins would have saved that world cup final from being the farcical game we ended up with. 15 guys beating 14 guys by a single point is not convincing to anyone.

I went through a random sample of 10 games and found they conceded less penalties than their opposition in 9 of them, but they could also just be good at forcing opposition into infringing.
Eventually Bok fans will find themselves on the wrong end of arbitrary refereeing calls like that, but as of the last 2 seasons they've basically been on the right side of the referee's whistle in almost every game they've played.
They remind me of the Carter/ McCaw era All Blacks somewhat with how favorable the refereeing is applied to their game style.
😂yeah I'm sure you guys would have lost big time if your All Blacks Thug didn't injure Bongi Mbonambi in the first 3 minutes of the game which took out our specialist for set pieces and lineouts . 😂 2011 RWC is controversial for NZ because Springboks were robed point blank 😳 by Aussie ref ,hence the Muppet is nolonger referring . We can go on and on. But take nothing for the 2011-15 ABs they were great
😂😂😂heal mate... You play dirty 😅there's consequences for that..let that sink in. A win is a win. Whether the ref was on our side or not...if NZ were the better team on the day they should've known better to be more disciplined and stop with silly mistakes which they got punished for hence they lost that final . Taking out our specialist nr2😂 was not a wise move after all..guess this will stick until your last day on this earth 😂deal with it
@@viwekenneth6028 Not a kiwi and I don't like the All Blacks.
Just a fan who woke up at 4 in the morning to watch a good world cup, only for slightly high head contact that had mitigating factors and didn't require a HIA to be deemed a red card and make it a lopsided event.
I'd rather my team valiantly lose to 15 guys than see them scrape home against a team with only 93% of it's players, by a single point.
@@Waywind420 yup if they would have behaved they wouldn't have had to be player short and maybe they wouldn't have missed kicks as well and we wouldn't have had our main guy injured with first few minutes . We will go round and round in circles mate 👍
@@viwekenneth6028 I can't remember what happened to Mbonambi, I think he had his knee twisted at a ruck right?
Cane's red card was pretty unfair though, Kriel veered into it a little bit and Cane clipped him slightly high.
Kriel never went off for a HIA so it obviously wasn't deemed to be that serious.
I think Wayne Barnes himself was actually pretty shocked that the TMO was overruling his on field yellow card decision and upgrading it to a red card.
At the end of the day 20-minute sin bins would have saved that world cup final from being the farcical game we ended up with.
15 guys beating 14 guys by a single point is not convincing to anyone.
