Spirit of the game, will never forget when John Smit was told to talk to the team and time was off, only for Ireland to take a quick tap and score when Boks backs were turned
Matt Williams that scrum was for you ❤
Matt Williams: "If Ireland played better, they would have won"....What a truly great insight from him as usual 😂
Hey Matt, I thought of you when I watched that last scrum. And I laughed.
Matt Williams comments mean nothing. He coached Scotland in 17 matches, losing 14...
Rassie please have a 8-0 split for Durban, want to see Matt Williams loose his shit again, Rassie is in his head in his head
Matt Williams is very entertaining to listen to after an Irish loss or whenever the Springboks are going to or have played.
From "it's against the spirit of the game" to "It discriminates against backs. This guy always finds a way to top the kak he spoke previously.
The fact is that the first world rugby teams find it very difficult and actually hate it,for a team like South Africa to be so dominant!!
Here for Matt😂 Blaming the laws instead of giving credit to South Africa.
Why does Matt Williams say we as if he is Irish.
Discrimination on the backs is a funny reason 🤣🤣 this old man can't even hate us logically. Bro hates us on pure emotions. We just can't be the best team they actually want to change the rules to stop us. They can say what they want but they hate the way we play.
What goes around comes around. When the Boks lost to Ireland in 2022 by two points a ball was kicked out of a ruck illegally by an Irish player which lead to the winning try which should not have been allowed.
Surely this programme can afford a better quality of pundit than MW.
From SA, all respect for Alan's commentary...always balanced and intelligent...even when reviews go against SA
Our 6 forwards going on after half time was for matt
Whinging about tackles off the ball not being picked up, when Ireland were playing offside at SA rucks 99% of the time without being pinged...
I don’t think Ireland played that poorly as being called the worse game played. It was the huge pressure from the Springboks and the accuracy of the Springbok kicking. That’s what I think.
Matt needs to stop whining about the bomb-squad because any team can do it! The playing field is level.
That Ozzie guy always complains and gives backhanded compliments to South Africa. They seem to forget that Springboks changed their style of play and Ireland weren't ready for it.
