@@celtic333ful The only question you should ask yourself is whether it's true. I doubt he'd make it up and that tells you Ireland were - despite some valiant attempts to portray this as a mark of 'respect' on this forum - getting ahead of themselves. You CANNOT assume you will be in the final before you've reached the knock-outs and anyone who counts out the All Blacks is a fool. It's especially counterproductive if you've never passed the quarter finals, and when you've just clinched a tight game against an SA side that would have won had they brought their kicking boots. I say this as a half Irish, half South African. I want the Irish to win the next World Cup but they will not if they believe their own hype. For many years the All Blacks were the same - wiping the floor with all and sundry in between world cups and then wilting under the bright lights of the Webb Ellis. More than a few people in the Irish set up need to cultivate a more humble mindset. Sexton's antics after the NZ loss gives a good indication of the sense of entitlement he had. Neither the ABs nor the Boks would EVER say 'see you in the final' in a group stage game because they know better than anyone how silly it is to put the cart before the horse in knock out rugby.

Most people probably were similar to BOD in thinking that if (and at that we all knew, bar the normal always overconfident lads that any fan group has) we were able to make it out of the quarter final we would have a really good chance at getting through the semi and making it to a first ever final. The tour the year before was barely a comfort in saying anything more than this is a team we now know we can beat as opposed to 10 years ago feeling could we ever beat them. That Eben thinks the team would be that cocky just shows he doesn’t really get Irish people as opposed to anything about the teams he played.

It actually wasn't a 1 penalty game between SA and Boks but 2. As SA did not need the 2nd penalty and in order to avoid the risk of a charge-down or hitting the post, they chose instead to kick the ball out. If scores were tied, then SA would definitely have had a shot at posts.

I have no problem with Ireland saying see you in the final. You have to be confident and think you will beat everybody especially when they had the run of wins they had. Same with Eben saying we will get them back if they get there. Same mindset but maybe a little more worried about the upcoming opponents. All Blacks played extremely well to beat Ireland in the quarters but I’d argue only SA would have beaten France that day in the Quarter finals. France played insanely well. Also you have to give SA credit for playing the hardest World Cup run to the finals and winning.

Great interview . Eban is a good bloke and a damn good player. Yes I believe ireland got ahead of themselves but there is nothing wrong with being confident and why wouldnt they be with the way the previous four years had unfolded for them.

Yes two world cups however only one Rugby championships and the All blacks won the other 7 yes to be crowned world chamion is one thing but in reality it is just one tournament so hardly on top. You need to sustain the momentum to keep the title legit. The AB's have in the past had a couple of low points . The early 2000's was similar to what they have just gone through with Foster in charge. Historically though they have come back stronger and gone on a long winning streak. The introduction of Razor Robinson as coach could well be the beginning of another one of those cycles { maybe }. Will be interesting to see how his coaching style matches up to Rassie who is a class coach. Another thing to consider is how Aus are going to go with Joe scmidt in charge. Meanwhile I'm really looking forward to see the ireland SA clash. Going to be epic. I cant wait.

😂Jim you reported after the game that Eben said to you "we'll get them in the final". But don't let the truth stand in the way of a good pod. Clearly eben isnt over the loss to Ireland and needs to talk bs

Eben is right that Ireland shouldn’t have underestimated the New Zealander’s. After all the All Blacks were the better team in the WC final and would have won if SA hadn’t benefited from some murky decisions.

That comment in no shape or form indicates that they underestimated NZ. You can believe you'll win against a team and still respect them

NZ missed two kicks, don't come here with kak like that, where is your evidence? Typical sour Po3s answer.

Time to move on

Half the springboks said "see you in the final" to the Irish lads after the game. Its got nothing to do with seeing past another team, merely a respect in how hard both teams fought. Etzebeth is a fool if he thinks none of the Springboks said the same thing to the Irish.

How do you know this 😂 SA doesn't have this mentality, the players are humble that's why they achieve so much

Eben etzebeth world class player there 👍 even tho I’m Welsh and our rugby is struggling at mo I do luv a good boks team 💪

Why is it only 8min?

That was probably respect for the Springboks. Yeah there's a bit of arrogance in it. But its the kind of thing you say - doesnt matter you lost today, youll be in the final. Eben is a legend and DB is great on the pod.

The Springboks don't always win, but it sure is a spectacle watching them play, you know it's going to be physical, and damm, they just never give up. Also they're HUGE.

I am going back to watch that Wales vs Bokke game from 2019. That game gave me grey hairs.

My favourite player a machine.

To be honest, most people thought it would be a Bok, Ireland final after that game I certainly hoped it would be

Not sure I agree with Biggar there at the end, if they were staying on top then they'd have won at least one RC and spent a decent amount of time at number 1. Rugby doesn't just show up once every four years then disappears.

The World Cup overshadows everything else. Not saying it should be like that, but it is.

Winning is simply everything. These guys eat, sleep and drink that.

Even if ireland win,they still havent won a wc qf... imagine...🤣🤣🤣

I really do feel for the Irish. As a Bok fan, we were there in the early 2000s. We were always there or thereabouts, but we just couldn't win anything meaningful. Being in a regional tourney with the All Blacks didn't help. At least the Irish have the let off of playing in the 6 Nations.

He talks about it as though the whole team said it?! it was surely just one person and you can't pin that on the whole team. Hindsight is a great thing and Ireland were always slated for their lack of belief in themselves so that's where that comes from. All in all Eben's cocky statements here will be pinned to the Irish dressing room wall now.

Eben see you in the urc and champions cup final if you make it

Find it very hard to believe that "12"(??!!) Irish players said this in the manner it's being interpreted. That is not the culture of this team, nor has it ever been. Irish rugby has come from very humble beginnings. Indeed, it's probably the longest "end of the beginning" experienced in sporting history! The national fear experienced before, and during, the game with NZ was very tangible. A reaction to the previous tour was expected. And experienced. A great match though.... I recall an awful lot of fuss being made about Bongi calling out "wit kant" during the game with England. Now that got of knickers twisted! As a result of the reaction, I got to learn a lot Afrikaans (and Dutch), in a very short period of time. For that I am grateful 😉 If you want to believe this interpretation as being arrogant, then so be it. In that case, Ireland is simply joining in with the significant arrogance that's been on display for a considerably long time by all of the majors in world rugby. If you can't beat them, join them....I guess.

The chances that 12 people just all happened to say the same thing to him after the game is on par with winning the lottery.

If Joe Schmidt hadn’t been in that AB coaching ticket I have a sneaking suspicion that that AB Team wouldn’t have won that 1/4. If’s and Buts though.

Big talk from Etzebeth, whether it's true or not he's setting up the July series to be extremely physical

The Rugby Pod that loves to stir the shit !

There is zero chance Ireland were overlooking the All Blacks. They constantly banged on about “the next game is all that matters”. And they clearly prepared for that tournament with the aim of peaking for the quarters, hence why they picked essentially the first 15 for every game. That tactic couldn’t have been designed to peak in a final. Clearly weren’t overlooking the quarters. And am I the only one who has heard or said this on a pitch after winning or losing a game? It’s a platitude to the losing team. And what is wrong with visualising being in the final? In a lot of other sports that would be the only acceptable mindset.

Was not Elizabeth that said to egghead pod after the game. He asked Elizabeth how he felt and Elizabeth said don’t worry we will get them down the road meaning the final. Pod guy can call me a lier if he wants. But can’t because it’s true. Dan bigger your insight into things is immense. Big contribution to the pod.. Why are saffas so full of it

Springbok way is a defence way, it may have won a few world cups but in terms of matches won its the All Black way, Springboks would still need to win 30 on the trot to be match the All Blacks
