Excellent chats and insights. Keep em coming.
Shimmie is the best host of all time… The chemistry between him and Jean is 100
Very lekka show gents. Super entertaining to wait for and then watch each weeks podcast. Jdvs- in pursuit of perfection has got wheels for when you okes come back for the Pom tour. lol – get Jdv a nice Tshirt to wear.
18:03 I am a little disappointed that Shimmy 🏉 didn't say "don't be sorry" when the opportunity clearly presented itself during this episode.🙄 Poor form, you have to be better. You're role models for the kids so practice what you preach and never stop pursuing perfection. 😂
Fuck, Shimmy kills me how he always troll Jean
Jean de Villiers should just understand that the time for Willie is over.Fassi can do all the things Willie can and he is a much better kick as he played 10 also in high school.
To consistently challenge England and the top-tier rugby nations, the Springboks should avoid experimenting with their lineup, especially against such formidable opponents. The first test against Argentina serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of such tactics. While the Rugby World Cup is a significant goal, we should prioritize closing the historical gap between the All Blacks and the Springboks. By focusing on this, we can establish a strong foundation for future success.
Man Shimmy needs to stop talking over the top of people
Great show men, love it!
Which is the best side side to beat England?…….one wearing green and gold
We got depth my one worry is who would replace our coach when he retires
Lions 3-0 Aus
The pursuit of perfection. Wow how priveleged I feel right now. Remebering a kamp staaldraad, a 03 World Cup that was a shambles. A snorre era that was just a mistake. JDV's team losing to Japan. (sorry mate put you on the spot there but my heart broke that day). To now where we are the most feared rugby playing nation out there. It's been a ride gents. But i'm so proud of the men in the green and gold. Rassie I salute you. Thank you.
When Boks are not available to our URC teams its a great opportunity for the young players. This together with our players playing overseas is adding to the overall depth of quality rugby players eligible to play for the Boks. Hope one of our teams are targeting the Champions cup. This is where we should use the full squads. It would be great to add that trophy to the SA cabinet……
"Marie Libbok" in the chapter titles? LOL!
Why is ultimate written in capital letters?
OK, i haven’t been a rugby fan before. I was a soccer guy all my life and I l stopped watching sports altogether about 10 years ago. But the Springboks in the past two years have been amazing and I’ve started following rugby more. Never played rugby at school or anywhere, but this podcast has really helped me understand the game, its history and where it’s going.
But Gents, we need episodes faster after the Bok games! Waiting so long is tough. Please, drop an episode at least 2 days after the game, latest! Thanks for all the great work.
Just love the rugby brain of JDV, learn so much from listening to these guys.
We have so many amazing rugby brains in South Africa
Edwill Van Der Merwe is an awesome player. I am so keen to see more of him in the Boks jersey.
who is Marie liebok lol
Shimmy is actually too funny 🤣
Where is the energy boys? This was a bit of a yawn! Are you guys detoxing???? 🥛🥤
I feel like there are not enough conversations on how good Elrigh Louw is.
Our line outs need work
Boks need to have a backup for Etzabeth, Du Toit, Marx and De Allende. These guys are the fulcrum of the team from a physicality perspective. Currently Erasmus has no viable alternative for these guys(Esterhuizen is a great 12 but never gets selected) Tonyball will not be the reason the Boks beat England. It will be their physicality. The Bok physicality is key and some of the subs don't bring it(lookign at you Moerat, Am etc)
