Both teams have plenty of space to improve. The Boks made as many errors and gave as many penalties away

I often wonder if the northern hemisphere realises that when we come there in November it's the end of the season for us. I don't hear anyone say the Boks might be fatigued after a long season. Also this guy saying that some of the decisions were because the Boks were at home, do you guys remember when the referee told John Smit to talk to his players and then allowed Ireland to take a quick tap and score? That was worse than any decision seen on Saturday.

As an SA fan, HUGE respect for Ireland. They fronted up against our pack. Our game plan Wes to go wide and that worked well. Unlucky Ref decisions for Ireland.

Massive respect to the Irish rugby system - real deal, can’t wait til next weekend 🇿🇦🤝🇮🇪

After Ireland being world no.1 for as long as we have in recent years, are you only now realising that our team is the real deal?

Bok fan perspective: I thought we played a mediocre game. Our kicking was atrocious, which meant that we gave away a lot of territory. Our kick-chase is one of our strong points and we hardly ever saw any of that. Almost no mauls from lineouts, but that could've been because they respected the Irish maul defence. We also wasted about 80% of our opportunities in the Irish half. We looked very rusty.

AB's supporter here. Why is it, when Ireland loses, it always comes down to (well, the ultimate excuse) that they weren't at their best. They used the same excuse in their WC quarter final exit. It makes them sound like sore losers and whinging little tossers. And its an insult to the opposition and not a good look for them and the game. Sure, there were calls in yesterday test that were bad on both sides, but ultimately for me, SA were a little bit better and deserve the W. Both sides weren't accurate, but they both had equal chance to win the game. The officials had some shocking calls and need a thorough review. The AB/England was similar. Have to hand it to England, they were good and one could say unlucky, but I thought a one point win to the AB's was fair. England were gracious in defeat as well and positive for next week. Will be interesting to see how the northern hemisphere teams respond next week.

I swear this Ireland team had 50% of the season off, if anything they should be more Fresh

Everyone speaking about missing JG Park, we missed Marx since 2nd game in WC and just got on with it with the players we had at our disposal???

The Irish have mastered playing on the edge of what they get away with, NZ mastered this tactic under Richie Macaw, Ireland have mastered this tactic in the past few years, when they get away with it, they win, when they don't, then they lose!

What is this guy saying? The TMOs job is literally to look at the lead-up to tries😂 James Lowe only scored because of the offence at the breakdown

The reality is Ireland are only a RWC quarters team at best, MOVE ON.

There are only four Bok players in this team that play at altitude.

If you're on the floor, you're out of the game. You can't be kicking the ball out of a ruck. Therefore the ball came out of the ruck illegally, and it led to a try. It's a fair call. Ireland were not hard done by.

Ya ? That match in Chicago with the All Blacks must be really in your head if you alone bring this up for a South Africa Ireland match 8 years later 😉

When it was a boks scrum, they dominated. When it was an Irish scrum, Ireland did not take the hit, winning free kicks. Refs need to sort that out. The reason why they went back to ruck to call off the Irish try, is because you can’t go off your feet on the opposition side of the ruck and kick the ball back. Even just lying there prevents a clean out for SA. Aki wasn’t holding his weight over the ball, resting on his arms, that’s a penalty to the boks anyway. Really simple. Ireland in Ireland when they beat SA by 3 points a couple years back, kicked a ball forward through the ruck, which you can’t do, and went on to score a try from it. which should not have stood. The rub of the green went Irelands way that day? SA got the call their way this time. Best team won if you look at the entire game. The usual Ireland attack was totally missing today.

We have it in us but only seem to do it when chasing. The best team did indeed win. Next week promises to be a humbdinger.

Rassie's player managment in a game is based around energy levels. 2019/2023 boks had a very high energy demand in defensive plays in an aggressive rush defense and emphasis on dominant hits, opting for more energy conservative attacking structure with lots of territory based play. The 2024 boks are opting for both a high energy attacking strategy and defensive one. This requires serious levels of fitness. Adding to this the altitude. It will be interesting to see how this bok team operates at the end of the rugby championship!

Agree that SA were the better team, but Ireland held their own too. Casey was excellent given whose shoes he was filling. If they don't have serious injuries and can recover fully, they still have a good chance to win next Saturday.

Shocking takes there lads. How can Irish media say their players are tired from a long season, they literally play in the same domestic league as the Bok players. I think it shows that the Irish are relieved it was not a big pumping and just 7 points. But we cannot deny that Ireland showed resilience 2nd half but they couldn’t attack and play the way we have seen in the past because of the Bok pressure. Matter of fact Boks seem to be the only team that consistently pressures Ireland to a point where they do not flow in their attack and sort of have to hang on. I think James Lowe was your best player despite that mistake at the restart. But again I think Ireland was hanging on there 3 or 4 instances where the Boks were in your 22 with phases but then Boks would make a silly mistake and the difference would be that the mistake would not be because of Ireland defence but just silly mistakes. On the other hand when Ireland had possession in the bok 22, their mistakes were caused by that bok pressure defence and being dominated physically. Ireland are starting to look like pre-Farrel Ireland again lol

This was not Springbok rugby...the scrumhalf was left to defend himself against Irelands loose forwards! Not sure about the Tony Brown stuff!!!😮

Ireland got caught wide against England too, in almost the same way as the Boks did for the first try. Its something Rassie would have noticed. The last 20 minutes were weird. So many mistakes that led to scores. Lowe did not use his head in the late minutes.

Love the feed back from u guys as a SA fan bring on next week

Thank you for you post. As a Bok supporter it’s always good to get a balanced view. While both teams will acknowledge their mistakes, I do think numbers 1 & 2 put on a good show. To be honest, the margin flatters the Boks a little, the game was a lot closer. Had one or two calls gone the other way, we could be looking at a different outcome. The Irish pack demonstrated that they can mix it up with the best, at times I recognized moments of dominance. I’m sure the Boks will focus on the scrums over the coming week. Another area of focus will be to reduce turnovers, Josh had a great game. Having followed Pollard from school level he was slightly off, I think Tony Browns influence is great - it’ll take Pollard a while to make this style of play second nature. He’s a quality player, I believe Tony Brown can take him to a new level. Last comment from me is to acknowledge your 9/10 combination, I believe it has huge potential.

Great to see a good few respectful SA comments here.Well done.

The score would have been wider had pollard gotten hus kicking in order. We let alot of points go with those misses

They didnt play to their usual standards. This has become a trend with Ireland since NZ QF 2023. Ireland need to adapt.

Both sets of players are tired - Bok players also have less together time than Ireland’s - Bok (uncharacteristic) mistakes led to 2 very soft tries - but agree, 2 vey good sides and both not at their best.

I couldn't find the game on TV in Ireland. Any info welcome

This guy can talk but his assessment is misguided

Pearce was poor Whitehorse brutal As for the Scottish linesman who couldn’t see Lowe handling the ball in touch as for Whitehouse !

The Boks should have won much further. They won every single stat and, of course, attempted, for the first time, to implement a brand new game plan (thanks to Tony Brown). The Boks have also not just finished a 6 Nations tournament, they had only played Wales two weeks ago, their first match since RWC 2023. Oh, and by the way ... Southern Hemisphere 6, Northern Hemisphere 1. Boks beat Ireland Chile beat HongKong Oz beat Wales ABs beat England Fiji beat Georgia Samoa beat Italy Argentina (lost to France)

Southern hemisphere, Northern hemisphere isn't such a thing in other sports . It's not like South Africa and Argentina , Uruguay, New Zealand or Indonesia etc have this common bond that unites them . The same with Ireland , Russia , Italy, Canada , France etc. Nothing in common . New Zealanders and South Africans constantly bring this up about Northern hemisphere resentment. I don't get it personally

@@celticfc1916 Well this might come as a surprise to you mate: when Oz takes on the British and Irish Lions next year, at least all Saffers, Kiwis and Argies will back the Wallabies. You see, the B&I-L tours are exactly that: the North taking on the South. That's how the North/South thing started. We just don't like the pretenders from the North. #Simple & #Sorry

​@wouterswanepoel5753 It might come as a surprise to you that the French and Italian Georgian, etc, are not involved in the British and Irish Lions. Argentina are not too bothered on the Irish and British Lions playing Australia. The same with Chile v Hong Kong or Fiji v Georgia etc . . There is no rivalries just because they are on the other sides of an equator line. I think it's more New Zealand South Africa and Australia that have this issue and lump everyone in as all.

@@Corrie-fs5wp As much as the Europeans have their rivalries, the South's nations do too. For ages. Hence we respect one another so much. But it's not only for rugby reasons that we hate the North, it's (among many other things) also for the way the British treated my female and child ancestors when they stuck them in concentrations camps here in South Africa during the Anglo Boer War. Over 100,000 Boer civilians, mostly women and children, were forcibly relocated into concentration camps, where 26,000 died, mostly by starvation and disease. That's over and above the way this country was plundered of its wealth by the British during that time. And similar atrocities were committed not only by the Brits, but by other European nations during the days of co-called colonisation everywhere in the South. The South doesn't actually like you. Just know it and accept it. And understand why we just LOVE funking you up in every which way.

But that's the British you speak of , Why add Georgia or Hong Kong or Italy or France or whoever to what happened to you in the hands of the British. The British were responsible for the the deaths of millions of Irish people in my country including the history of the Great famind . but we are both the Northern hemisphere. Yet he still have the Northern chip for Ireland too . Look at the British and India for example too . Again India is the Northern hemisphere. I chould go on forever on examples. about countries that got pillaged by another country. Sure the Dutch were no angels in colonial times. I don't get why you talk about British history and lump Ireland or Georgia or Hong Kong or France or whoever in as all the same . It doesn't make sense and gone completely of the track why ye have beef with Northern hemisphere rugby . Each to their own but very strange

High altitude. Only Kurt-Lee Arendse and Willie le Roux play for Bulls, plus two replacements, Steenekamp and Marco van Staden. So 19 of Springboks 23 not used to altitude.

Snyman should not be allowed back on Irish soil after that tackle.

Top class review

This Irish was like a never ending mudslide, rneu dont stop coming

Honestly, both teams were sub standard. A lot of errors and rusty play. I don't accept the excuses of fatigue or even altitude, because most of the players, on both teams play over seas. I think only Willie and Arendse played in the Highveld last season (I could be wrong). It was a good competitive game, but definitely not at the quality that we know both teams were at during the WC. On the day, Boks the better team, but gave away some soft tries, just like Ireland. I think it's always going to difficult to match that incredible pool game at the World Cup. In my opinion, the 2nd best game of the tournament behind the Ireland-NZ game.

All sa channel say we were humbled desite Lowe gifting them 2 tries....

Great that you speak about the ‘energy going out of the stadium’ SUCH an important ‘16th man’ factor all the time ~ for whichever side TMO role def is shit, really : simply stated‼️ 👊🔥🥂 🪖

Thr Springboks are still a bit rusty after not playing together fot so long - it look like a start of season game for them. Which it was. Ireland's defense was exceptional.

Finally. Heh. Gotta get that 30% win margin up a tad before swinging around words like finally, lads.

I think the Boks have a bit more scope to improve.

We won fair play to the irish we go again this weeekend

Great game but all 3 big 50/50s went the way of SA, the Doris and Lowe trys dissalowed and the kolbe try allowed to stand.
