Yeah!

[assfly]

And what an absolutely fucking glorious day it was.

[boere wors]

Time flies. Feels like yesterday...

[PornDog]

South Africa wins the World Cup - then 2020 happens!!!!




You farggin bastiches!!!!

[handyman]

Always great when the underdog wins. One has to wonder what happened to the powerhouses Eng and NZ?

[OomStruisbaai]

Watching last night the last episode of Chasing the Sun bring back aal those memories and to actually know now what happened at the background makes it even better.

The Springbokke were so well prepared , no team would beat them on the day.

We are lucky to keep the coaching staff bar a few. They will take us to places.

[assfly]

When did it hit you lads that we'd won?

Although Kolbe's try clinched it, it was the engraving that got me. Completely lost the plot in the pub.

NZ just thought we'd share it around - growing the game innit.

[OomStruisbaai]

After Kolbeys try me and my neighbour went absolutely mad, We shout like maer varke.

Honestly, after 5 min I knew that we would win...

Ja that first scrum certainly changed my attitude early.

[Kiwias]

I was at the stadium and it was pretty obvious from quite early in the match that the Bokkie were going to win. Two English lads seated beside me bought their flights and tickets after the semi finals and were seriously gutted at the way their team was bossed around but they cheered loud and hard for the SA at the end.

[Tichtheid]

Yup, definitely the scrum was a huge hint of what was about to happen.

That, and latest when youngs threw that pass to nobody into touch. There was no way we were losing that game. So no surprise in the end. What a game!

Thats why I love Rugby! Great story, cool that you were there.

When Sinckler went off, I knew we had them up front for the rest of the match...unless they reverted to uncontested scrums like Italy did.
I was genuinely worried they would go that route and we'd lose our primary scrum weapon. Glad they didn't.

I live in Brighton, after the Japan Boks game at the 2015 RWC South African supporters formed a tunnel and applauded the Japanese supporters on to the buses away from the stadium

Awesome, thats what make the sport different to other.

[stemoc]

only won cause NZ wasn't there to beat them AGAIN.

[OomStruisbaai]

Boks would put 50 on them in the final.

[Insane_Homer]

Hardly the Boks fault NZ weren't good enough to make the final

Kiwis and Sards want the All Blacks to play against a weak Springbok team.

Makes sense, last time they won it we had the financial crisis the year after.

Sards just wants the Boks to do badly so that he can complain that there aren't enough Sharks players in the squad.

The Kiwis are just poese

Indeed. And deservedly so they got the applause. Greatest upset ever...

They are the best at coming 3rd

[Jb1981]

That year has gone fast. It was a comprehensive victory and a fun game to watch for a “neutral” who was cheering the Springboks from the first whistle.

Good man.
You will receive a Christmas card.

[Line6 HXFX]

Great win that was...really put England away.

[bessantj]

That Kolbe try was a wonderful bit of rugby.

[Cartman]

Rewatched it today after watching Chasing the Sun
So many highlights
Marx made quite an impact, had a hand in both tries
Sous coming on and tackling everything that moves
Duane is made of granite - if it wasn't for him I'm not sure we would have kept them out when they were camped on our line late in the first half
Am's face when he chased that kick from Mapimpi - he knew that was the game

That's a good point. All the whining about kyle sinkler going down... two of our player had to leave the field, and those who came on were arguably better. The depth in that squad was/is amazing. Marx and even more so Mostert were the unsung heros of that final imo.

Mostert is a very underrated player. Allround skills, not the power of Eben, RG or Lood, but I have never seen him play a bad game or a game where he was quiet.

Marx was utilised well of the bench, I feel his line out throwing was not as good as Bongi and maybe he got a bit complacent.

Absolutely, one of my favorite players!
