Irish fan here. For the absolutely cynical dive of Kolbe at the feet of Bealham... to try and fabricate a penalty, as Frawley drop-kicked his 2nd goal...for THAT act...S.A. did NOT deserve to win this game. Cynicism should never win anything. Everyone saw it, and Kolbe has dropped in many an estimation. To make it worse, some of his team mates backed him up. Superb Ireland and superb Ciaran Frawley

Kolbe tarnished his reputation with that dive at the end. The TMO was not good for us over the two tests, but even he dismissed Kolbe's cheating when it was reviewed. Kolbe should have received a yellow card for that as it is not good for the game.

Definitely. He's fallen stories down in my estimation. That is NOT what rugby is about. Shouldve been given a bollocking for that.

blood and guts. What a game. Honestly, there is almost nothing between these 2 teams. The level at which they play puts the other under enormous pressure to get things right. There are not many critical errors from either team. So it comes down to who can execute best. Today it was Ireland. Last week it was the Boks. Its a joy to watch such high level rugby.

I have a handful of reviewers and analysts that I keep going back to. They all have one thing in common. They don't comment on the ref. I think last week I was feeling a bit hard done by because of some of the decisions that went against Ireland in the first test that you didn't mention but I understand your point more now and can see that it is a consistent principle that you abide by. Happy we got the win against what is definitely the best team in the world. Keep up the good work and I shall check out your videos in future.

Thank you for putting the record straight, Ireland are a great team and team who play a lot of their game using the top 2 inches of their heads , smart rugby as well tough contact is a real way to play competitive rugby, its also fun to watch.

Irish man here, what a game, so tough and physical we got treated to a game to remember

Ireland very intelligent team,seem to problem solve on the fly,never expected those two drop goals.

After missing for Leinster in the Toulouse final and over cooking the cross field kick moments before, Irish fans didn't see it coming either!

It was an amazing game. The Boks deserved the win last week and Ireland deserved it this week. Two incredible teams. It was bloody ! It was probably like watching a gladiators battle in the Roman Colosseum ! Such a pity that there isn't a 3rd test. Congratulations to both teams for the world class entertainment.

I disagree, last week SA had the upper hand for much of the game, but a fair distribution of the 50/50 calls, or even correct adjudication, would have resulted in a draw at minimum, or possibly a win.

Thanks to Ireland 🇮🇪 for a cracking finish and thanks to South Africa 🇿🇦 for hosting us. That kolbe dive though... no no no. Please dont do that kolbe. Finley bealham was looking at him on the ground dumbfounded like "wtf are you playing at?" Then the appeal afterwards by the bok players, it STANK of football. Do not do this. Just no. This is rugby 🏉

I appreciate what you mention about refs. It is obvious that Southern Hemisphere refs manage the game differently than Northern Hemisphere refs. As an English supporter, I always like to see a French or Irish ref when England are playing.

The issue with the first test was Ben Shitehouse as TMO. There's a reason why he has been called Shitehouse for years. I can't understand why he keeps failing upwards.

It was a good win for Ireland, the Bomb squad is only useful in a scrum, if there was no scrum they are just a big bunch of lesser mobile players in the middle of the pitch. Ireland is a skilful team full of Hurlers and Gaelic footballers and that was the difference today.

But every time someone catches a high ball or whatever you hear about their ‘GAA skills’ when most probably never set foot on a GAA pitch.

The ref tried everything to help the boks win but just couldn’t do enough for them to get over the line plus this week James Lowe didn’t gift South Africa two tries like last week

Ironic the nation of Jannie de Beer and Naas Botha beaten by drop goals . Rassie covered most things except the DROP GOAL . Well done Ireland Naas and Jannie might be having a sly little smile but annoyed by the defeat .

Brilliant article by Ben Smith on Rugby Pass titled ' The Bark Doesn't Match The Bite' essential reading for all boks fans!

Physicality and forward play makes rugby dull. The Boks have a brilliant and entertaining backline with the likes of Willemse, KLA, Kolbe, Am, le Roux... yet Rassie et al give focus so much on bullying smaller-sized teams. He may as well call up some WWE regulars to his roster. Speaking of referees, there's no doubt Wayne Barnes, Craig Joubert, and Nick Berry lead the pack of the most disgraceful whistle blowers out there. The first two have single-handedly determined the outcomes of some crucial matches at the RWC, yet, World Rugby retained them. End of rant.

Hi there, not sure how U can say we didn't play tht badly we were terrible in the 1st-Half the 2nd-Half was better but U cnt put Urself in a Position where U hve to Play Catch-Up Rugby against a Team like Ireland.... Also, feel we need to start-off being more direct for a few Phases basically Punching holes in the Middle of the Park to draw Irish Defence & then take-it Wide but like U said Ireland fronted-up well & We didn' hve the Physical-Ascendancy We needed to break-dwn Irish-Defence.... Yip, as U said there were also key-moments where we were not quite Clinical enough in terms handling the ball as in there were numerous occasions we needed the ball to stick in the hand off a promising linking-up pass tht cld lead-to sumthing but unfortunately thse passes always seemed rush making-it difficult for receiver to hold-on!!!!

Well done for keeping the reff out of your commentary

That was poor defending from Boks allowing that drop goal at end. Nobody was defending them!!! Shocking Boks

I want an 3rd test next week😢

You have now played Ireland 3 times using your bomb squad every time Ireland have scored more points when the bomb squad came on, and as far as I know the stats overall don’t favour bringing a bomb squad on , its becoming a gimmick to use against weak teams. It will become the Bum Squad if you keep it going.

Genuine question…what do you think the bloodiest Test games in rugby might actually be? Any older heads got suggestions? I’m thinking some of the French games around 1990 maybe? Eng vs France? South Africa vs Lions / England maybe? Or some nutty Georgia vs Romania / Argentina vs Uruguay type games perhaps?! 😂
