tough arm wrestle, but right good teams create their own luck, and Sa did that, I felt england was always just going to play it safe and never realy came to play, so they just took points and hoped it would work, The springboks worked hard to get a victory, I still think Rassie and Jacques missed the selection and they won't repeat that again, a bit like the semi final in 2019, it was a hard match to watch, and Wales was in surviving mode, England did the same I felt, just were more dominant in the first half.
You make your own luck in this world ,there you go you could of said that in 10 seconds and would of saved making this video ,guessing the ab will be favourites for final and rightly so they have improved every game since early french defeat ,sa struggled against a less confident England.
Yes, so right on this analysis and reasons given.😊
Both England and South Africa play a one dimensional game based on "kick chase' and the power of their forwards to grind down the opposition. In this semi final the teams were only separated by the Bok's forwards' try from the lineout in the dying moments. England had more opportunities to kick penalties to the corners rather than at goal so paid the price for their caution and lack of adventure, but can take some measure of comfort from the fact that they outplayed the Bok for 70 minutes.
Steven Kitsoff might need to get dropped he has not been the same.
It's fair to say, they had a game and we had our game plan. Lets take it further by saying, they have players of brilliance according to the experts, and it is said they were better than us. The question, did all that helped them, NO. The difference, we have a team with brilliance and we combine brilliance with our goals. What is our goal? To WIN !!!! What is the result. We WON, and that's the ONLY thing that matters ❤.
Best independent commentary during the World Cup , well done . Thanks for your passion. Man this World Cup final is going to be the game of century. It’s the dream final . Oh yeah go the All Blacks yes I’m a kiwi.😮
Springboks v All blacks, whoever wins go down as the greatest rugby nation ever. Come on All blacks
My last comment to this. This is the first time in my life,that I see a springbok team, where coaches and players understands the plan. Our head coaches are experts in reading the game, that's why they cud make those changes at the RIGHT time. And that pulled us through.
Really good ananlysis.
HOWZIT ?!!!!!
Whining Omkant Curry !
Now for the correct (conditions and strategy) for the 'starting' lineup/bench against the All Blacks (the old foe)!
True about Kitsoff's form, but 'flyhalf' was always a problem – even before the W'cup! We need to adjust gameplan when we trail behind on points! Don't just kick 50-50 up-and-unders and leave every piece of possession to chance! Try kicking for territory, grubbers, and/or phase play! Reynach looked a bit off! Dion, Kwagga, Snyman is Ysters!
We grow up different in South Africa we eat pap en vleis
We don't grow up soft in our country
England should have done better, they 'read' our gameplan which is always predictable! Also, England should be used to playing in wet conditions!
There was little luck in it… some calls both ways. Eng missed their chance to bury the Boks and were the better team for most of the game. Eng dealt with the high ball better than any team I've seen, especially given the conditions. Great channel mate, best 'Bok" channel I've seen.
Of course we watch the URC: Go Stormers! And all the other SA teams playing foreign teams!
With all the stats favoring why did they not win

have been enjoying your wc analysis from an Irish perspective,. Really good v entertaining, thank you. Unsure the bomb squad tactic worked out so well this time. They almost blew it. I think it was more from what left the English field than what came on for South Africa that decided it. Marler and Cole were lions on Saturday. Vunipola didnt look match fit and his slowness was a factor in the try. SA to be undone if NZ marry the same kicking prowess and approach to try scoring ability
Can we just start with Pollie, RG, Andre the giant,Ox and play a bit of get ahead and keep the lead rugby😂
How about a proper lineout. We had to jump for our own ball. Lifting and throwing, schoolboy stuff
Im glad you called out the English because some fans are just classless. No wonder so many people don't like them. What luck? In a semifinal? You can't score a try, not even interested in scoring a try and you have the gall to say you deserve the win? Entitled af
My Springbok Team for the final vs NZ
We need to play the percentage game and manage the players energy, so lets back our whole Bok squad and make these changes we need too. to get this done. Let the fresh players start and make there mark, then the players who has started the most finishes the game, they will come in for the last 20 min and empty the tank. If there is one thing I know when we as South African ask our players to play to empty their tanks, they give it all.

These players are the freshet and safest bet in my opinion, as the backs were not as involved, as the forwards were, so they will be fresh still, and then we bring out the players that will play for the last 20, with there full energy, and close the game off.
Much respect to our NZ brothers, but I am bias and I have to be and so you brothers will be the same, but lets the best Team win on the day, GL to you guys.
And then we get to the reserves: This whole team including the bench is latterly the full-strength Team.

First half well score tries, I hope, and then the final players keep the scoreboard ticking.
Lets trust the other players that are very fresh. And as you can see it is obvious a 6 -2 split 😊
Anyway, its gona be a tough game, but it will be one for the ages!
Stooormers!
Outstanding analysis and commentary, appreciate it,💯 thanks, My Bru👏🏻
le bok is useless in wet conditions but still Erasmus and nienaber protects him in recent interviews They better catch a wake up or the are going to lose a final!!!
I hear all of you, but I'm sorry, I still think it was luck. We didn't deserve the win. The entire game up to the last ten minutes, we were asleep. A rugby game is 80 minutes, not 10 minutes.
So, you can all berate me, but I still say it was 90% luck. I just hope we play much better this weekend.
Well some of us got the prediction right !
All southern hemisphere Rugby World Cup Final !
Boks v AB ‘s
Yesterday I actually left the room at 60 min thinking it was over .. what a team what a spirit ! What a win! The lesson is “keep the faith”.. believe in the boys and the South African spirit it’s hard to beat !!
Lekka bru. Go Bokke !
Thanks Kenneth. That was such a good video, I'm going to watch it again
