Game aside, just realized how fortunate we fans are in this era to enjoy analysis and commentary likes of Mark, Tim (eggchasers), Robbie (Squidge) etc. These guys are real students of the game, and their level of insight and preparation often trumps the ex player pundits. Always feel I have more closure after a game after watching your reviews, thank you, keep it up!

I think Frawley has been practicing his drop at goals, after the miss in the Champions cup final in normal time. One thing with this Irish team is they know how to stay in games.They don't lose often, and can be out played, but are generally there or there abouts at the business end. Crazy finish

@MaxWaster

Ай бұрын

Yeah I agree, and that's the real sign of a great team. How often have New Zealand beaten us in the past with poor performances? Not that this game is an example of a poor Irish performance, but it certainly wasn't Ireland's best by a long shot (Same for SA ofc), yet Ireland stopped the Boks from scoring a try in their own back yard. I suppose it has to do with how complete our game is now. Yeah our attack might not always be firing at 100% but we have a world class defence and kicking game too. So now any 1 or even 2 of those can fail, and we're still going to be there or there abouts come the final whistle.

That's what all fans want...all the games this weekend within a score. To the death. What a series (and the others too). Great rugby fortnight

Incredible from Ireland and incredible from Ciaran Frawley. Thank you South Africa for a brilliant test series, a draw is a fair result for two evenly matched teams!

Having watched the Ireland team throughout the 1990's, the current timeline in which we consistently punch in the same weight class as the Springboks and All Blacks, even if we can't seem to get past a WC quarter-final is still the best of times. Great win today. Hopefully the team can keep kicking on.

What a great time to be an Irish rugby fan! 🙂

What a game! Edge of your seat stuff! Delighted for Frawley! He got his redemption! But what a test! Fair play to both teams!

The whole rugby world should enjoy these two teams we only get them for a very short while careers are short and physicality takes its toll on the bodies but boy what a pleasure to watch them go at it

My god what a bloody test match!!!! Commiserations to my SA brothers, a drawn series is definitely a delight for me. SA clearly, (WITHOUT DOUBT) best team in the world. I’m just glad we could match it with you guys!!

Good Onya Mark - you have made all the rugby I’ve watched and followed so much more interesting and invigorating- first came across your channel in the RWC and have loved it ever since. Great game and what a hard fought battle - both teams played hard and rugby the winner for sure!👍🏉

Damn shame we won’t get a decider. Crowley, Osbourne, and Frawley really stepped up this tour. Leo Cullen take note.

Actually, I think Osbourne deserves massive credit. A lot of people were questioning the sense of picking him but he was majestic under the high ball today.

First time ever at a Bok game. What an absolute vibe! Met some Irish folks. Let me tell you, the Irish are nicest bunch of people! Great and fun bunch. Will never forget it. Pity about the Bok loss, but I have become a backup Irish fan after yesterday.

I love the way they are two such different teams in terms of approach, but so well watched, and both quickly adapting to the other. Can we make this the annual 'green jersey' trophy? (winner get's to wear their green jersey to the next test) :)

Great Game. Thought SA had it but what a finish. Fair play Frawley

I'm shattered after that

Thought Osborne was man of the match for a kid that played out of position he was phenomenal in the air smashed every time he plucked the ball out of the air but did not deter him

I knew Ireland would play better at sea level and they did themselves proud to end their season. It stings that the Boks were so overrun in the first half. I'm sure Rassie had some choice words at half time because at least they ran out with a better mindset in the 2nd half😂. That drop kick at the death was brutal, but Ireland deserved the win. They played with guts & so much heart.
