Great show as always gents…. Let's celebrate this for what it is, HUGE!!! But the inevitable question will be here soon…. Who of the current crop will be able to see us to and through RWC 2027, given that the average age of our current players will be approx 35 – 37 when that time arrives (eg Kitsoff, Bongi, Malherbe, Eben, Lood, Sous, Pieter Steph, Siya, Kwagga, Faf, Pollard, De Allende, Kolbe all currently between the ages of 30 – 33 years old now)…. Do these players try get though RWC 27 or do we start a rebuild in the next 12-24 months
Keo and Zels, I just want to say thank you for the great content and sporting analysis you have provided throughout the WC. I would download the episodes on my YouTube app and play them when I’m en rout.
Your analysis and input has always been spot on and greatly entertaining (except when Keo said the AB’s would lose to Ireland in the knockout).
But this is really a great platform to share analytically impartial information between teams in games. It felt like the Boks had to climb the Mt Everest of rugby in playing again the World’s top 5 teams, and that’s what makes this WC special for me. It is UNDISPUTED that the best team won the tournament as we did the harder route to back the 2019 WC.
Director of Rugga Rassie and coach Jacque deserve all the credit they can get considering that state of Springbok rugby in 2017. They managed to maintain the core of the Boks from the 2019 WC squad. Experience counted a lot in the knockouts. Bringing back Pollard was a masterstroke, and having great depth on the 2023 squad ensured that we had a fresh pack for that crunch match against France in the quarters.
The stories of the players in this squad is Box office stuff, I mean Siya’s story, Jesse’s, Cheslyn, Handre, RG, and Jean Kleyn, Mannie Libbok, I mean the list is endless.
For me this was by far the best WC tournament, and dare I say the Boks player background, having to overcome adversity, win when it doesn’t seem popular, that’s part of the nucleus that gave this team the never say die attitude they have, that South Africa should embrace as a whole.
I'm Irish But South Africa and New Zealand unbelievable, what a game. The two best teams in the world. We in Ireland are happy to have played against both teams. but you south Africans just know what it takes to win it. Respect to both of you
Keo makes an excellent point about keeping a game a contest after a card. Why not just make up the numbers by subbing from the bench while the offender serves 10 minutes or rest of the match ban? This punishes the player not the team or the fans
The Boks also had 20min in total playing with 14 men so no NZ cant winge about their red card it was a dumb a** tackle by cane and he should live with it … CRIME does not pay !
Well done, lads. I was not wanting to click on this but glad i did albeit 5 days later. A well grounded and a bi-partisan approach. Loved the coverage over the tournament and think you nailed how it all feels down under on this last dance. See you in Australia to rectify this result 🖤
"Exceeded expectations?" Aren't the All Blacks like the New York Yankees? It's championship or bust. Aren't the expectations to always win the whole thing?
As an Irishman. Congratulations to the Boks. What a brilliant team. I thought the winning of the tournament was Colby,s charge down of Ramos…unbelievable! Always great to see World Cup winners in the Munster team 👏
A far from the best All Black team, had various chances to take the points and turned them down, just dumb decisions from the all blacks on that front is the frustrating thing. And staying in the game and losing their captain was vey admirable. South Africa played better as a team in the end.
Hi Keo and Zels, my RWC mates. I usually watch your videos as soon as they are released but I decided to let the euphoria subside before I watched this one. Thanks for the great content throughout the tournament.
Totally not true “that no other sport” allows players to be sent off & play a man down. Ever heard of football? Ala Spurs this week 2 red cards had to play 9 Vs 11. Do the crime do the time. Otherwise “professional” fouls/dirty play will increase in the name of “taking one for the team”

Eben should have made himself unavailable for team of the tournament
Thx Keo and Zels, top insights and fun at the same time….really enjoyed the banter and ges you guys presented.
That's not a team, that's a family…

SA didn't beat the All Blacks you were gifted the final by Wayne Barnes and the TMO. How you can accept that as a nation I can never know
great show boys. i can see it going a long long way.

Cheers 👋
Comparing this team to the ABs 2011/15 come on bro put the crack pipe down and take a breath ffs
100 jaar gelede was die Engelse met 400 000 soldate en ons 40 000 soldate. Ons kan verdedig.
23:19 did anyone catch the “big dick” from Zels 😭
Love the Germany vs Brazil comparison!
A joke of a leader joinking the world cup out of the hands of an actual leader.. Typical SA
Gerry fought Michael Dokes… post fight interview… "I had it in me all a time" and "I'm going to take my dog for a walk on Durban Beach" !!!
when's the hollywood movie coming out? so many themes…..

When is money man covering his car in springbok colours

At last, pundits on the same wavelength as me! These AB and NH tossers are driving me crazy.
The BOKS are the only team to ever went back to back champions winning abroad !
The pass for the NZ try went so far forward it was in a different post code ! 😂
The succes of Rassie and Jaques is simple. When you work with people, you need to know how to work with people.
The Boks also had 20min in total playing with 14 men so no NZ cant winge about their red card it was a dumb a** tackle by cane and he should live with it … CRIME does not pay !
Kwagga is a operator … if he was a taxi driver you'd always be 20min early for work ! 😂
He Wanted to put it in the couch😂😂😂😂
Brilliant show. Love you positive vibes.
keo en zels please do a protea potcast

Keo, what a story teller, and man you have some rugby memory. Thanks both. Really enjoyed this channel during the world cup.
BARNES never said he GOT IT WRONG!
He said – "i don't see it that way"
"Exceeded expectations?" Aren't the All Blacks like the New York Yankees? It's championship or bust. Aren't the expectations to always win the whole thing?
KwaggA
Politicians – Not only thieves, but glory thieves too.
Kwagga as well what a player. He comes on and makes an imediate impact!
Keo the ref didn’t apologise for the call, he said he didn’t see the replay and thought Ardie hadn’t given enough clearance.
Great show, awesome insights and opinions
Someone needs to send the All blacks a big basket of cheese to have with their whine… Sore losers doesn't even come close…
Now can we get the Springbok back on the players chests like al other teams ???
As an Irishman. Congratulations to the Boks. What a brilliant team. I thought the winning of the tournament was Colby,s charge down of Ramos…unbelievable! Always great to see World Cup winners in the Munster team 👏
Brilliant show
Keo have you rated individual performances of Boks for rntire tournament?

Hi You 2, for me the most amazing thing about this team is, everybody, black and white is happy, that show the way forward for SA
Just me checking in waiting for a new episode 😢 been 8 days

Do the crime do the time.

Peter Steph would make a very good captain, he played so well👍🏻
Smash & Grab 🤣🤣🤣✊🏽
The way you guys want rugby to turn to American football geez.
Go watch nfl & stop complaining about the TMO & red cards smh
