The Irish fan at the end summed it up perfectly. South Africans are poorly represented online / social media by a small group who are the noisiest. I wish people could see the true representation of SA fans. Thanks for showing some of this Tim.

Hi Tim, huge huge fan of your channel since the RWC'23.I've never been to Loftus before, and this video has just made me envious of what it's really like when the Springboks win. The party atmosphere and cordiality between opposing fans is something to behold. And I wholeheartedly agree with that Irish man's sentiments about the banter and trolling of fans online. It's exactly what it is, just banter. South Africans are just a friendly bunch of people who are beyond passionate about their rugby and beloved Springboks. FYI, I managed to get a ticket with a group of my close friends to watch the ALL BLACKS VS BOKS at Cape Town. Will be my very first time of watching these two great rivals play each other. As you've probably read online, those tickets are like gold and scarce as hens teeth. Sold out in matter of minutes, but we bought ours a few months ago, when the suite tickets became available. Hope to run into you there in September. Again, love your unbiased and factual perspective on the game. Keep up the good work and may your channel continue to grow. You're a great ambassador not just for the game of rugby, but also our beautiful country.

Boks v AB matches are always an event. I managed to bet to Wellington for the game South Africa won 36-34. Westpac Stadium isn’t quite Loftus, but there was still a great pregame vibe including NZ BBQ vs braai stands with rosemary-lamb sausage dogs up against those made of boerewors…..Excellent stuff and an unforgettable match.

What makes this so cool is a passionate guy can make rugby videos from the spare bedroom in his house, with tens of thousands of us enjoying the content. And then he gets recognized and put pitch side. Damn cool!

Im a South African that lives in Manchester and I would have given anything to be there. I hope my fellow South Africans looked after you and made you feel welcome 🇿🇦👏🏻

For a one man spare bedroom team you're doing better than Supersport in your coverage of the behind the scenes footage. Supersport usually interviews only celebrities and one or two fans in the before the game footage and nothing afterwards. Your camera work is exceptional for the resources you have. Congrats from a subscriber since world cup days.

I went to the game at Loftus with a Welsh friend who was wearing his red jersey when Wales lost to the Boks by 95-3 odd. He didn't buy a beer all night as Afrikaners were coming up to him all night after the game saying "ag shame man, let me buy you a beer..."😆

Tim, you looked as though you had the time of your life. So pleased you're having such a special time, you totally deserve it. Durian is going to be completely different, but no less enjoyable. My husband, son and I absolutely LOVE your chanel and think you are pretty amazing! You're going to have to come back for all Bok home series!

This felt like watching chasing the sun 2 again - all access behind the scenes stuff! Love it

Because your channel is neutral, objective and fair it is popular in SA. The crowd at Loftus can be very intimidating but they are also the most rugby informed crowd. So when there is a boo something happened or the player really irked the crowd. Owen Farrell a prime example. After the contact with Esterhuizen and getting away with it never forgotten. Hope you enjoy the Kings Park vibe.

Your enthusiasm and love of the game shines through in all your videos. Thanks for visiting SA and I hope you enjoy every minute.
