2018 June Test Series: First Test - South Africa v England

Springboks come from 21 points behind to overhaul England and then hang on to win a sensational match 42-39 at Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg #RSAvENG

[@joshuagroenewald714]

One of the best comebacks in Springbok history! And surely will go down as a classic clash in world rugby!

What a game Faf de klerk is a monster

[@archvermin]

Faf de Klerk! What a player

[@HemiJB91]

What a fuck up he was today

[@ss2gora0]

Loved the passion from the commentators

[@TDMFAN]

SA were still the only team to truly challenge the GOAT ABs team at the 2015 RWC, in my opinion. Great to see them rising back up.

[@scorpio_1312]

This could be the 2019 World cup final!

[@ericjp1059]

It is officially😂😂

Are we not gonna talk about how elliott daly just sent a rocket 61 m?

[@TOMO.90]

Thomas Vorm Its at altitude...Good kick none the less

[@smeetsnoud1]

Thomas Vorm nah man, Reece Hodge does it every week

[@Mike-ed7hb]

The effects of altitude are negligible, maybe +1 meter at most

[@ss2gora0]

Altitude. Plus Dan Carter and Francios Steyn got steam train rolling 12 years ago so

[@jakkeday1]

Mike Tuft Simply not true! In the NFL, (where they use a similar ball) all the kicking records e.g. punts & field goals were set at altitude. Some say you can gain an 8-10% increase in distance. Certainly watching teams play, the altitude appears to make a difference when it comes to kicking.

[@TheTruthDon]

They’re back. 🇿🇦

[@donkereopa6682]

Hearty South Africa good job from a hearty All Black supporter in NZ

[@chook_dog]

Awesome. Good to see the three southern hemisphere nations doing well this weekend.

[@maggietemp2179]

Actually 4x Japan beat Italy, only Argentina lost. Still, 4 out of 5, bloody awesome.

[@reganmeynell4047]

Maggie Temp217 Japan is in the northern hemisphere

[@tyonamin]

+Regan Meynell Eh, you know what he meant. Despite their geographical location Japan is more closely connected to SANZAAR/SH than they are to NH.

[@maggietemp2179]

Regan Meynell Sure, Japan is located in both the Northern and Eastern Hemisphere. I meant that they play their Rugby in the Southern hemisphere. More specifically, the Super Rugby Championship.

[@BRUGBYHooligans]

Fantastic game!

[@Achmed3700]

Good old days when SA didn't kick away ball possession.

[@werneresterhuizen3828]

Dude its a tactic we use. In case you haven't seen. We're in the finals. So kicking away the ball is a good a tactic and is part of the gameplan.

[@tristanblinmma]

Amazing match with 2 amazing team

[@BlindmanPepperspray]

Entertaining game!!

[@marqstheman]

Still one of my favorite games of the year by Far!

SA vs England again for RWC final. We are winning:)

[@coppo9261]

England are much more well rounded side now who seem to be playing the full 80

[@stephensheridan6402]

What a game!!...best come back ever!!..and in style too :)

[@proudkiwi7641]

As a Kiwi I find this to be extremely positive. I want South Africa to be strong and really compete with the ABs. But I have to say that defense.... if they were playing the ABs we'd run circles around them .

[@ss2gora0]

Just look at the France game over the weekend as proof

[@proudkiwi7641]

Yes I hope so. This dominance is no good for the game..... especially for Australia where the game is on life support at the moment. Lets hope you guys can bring back the competition and bring back some meaning to the game.

[@ss2gora0]

TIL life support can beat the second strongest team in the world.

[@proudkiwi7641]

"apparent" 2nd best team in the world.

[@jbltc]

FAF THE MAN!

[@louisjs544]

Best de Klerk's move of the entire game imho was when he took down Robshaw and got back up forcing Slade to knock it on

[@shawnhawes2490]

How can u interfere wikst nr 10 about to kick???

[@antonyt3446]

Faf fe Klerk played very well but what the hell is that kiwi ref!

[@glensmall9194]

steady on mate

[@SuperEdge67]

antonyt34 instagram In every game this weekend the referee has been criticised. It’s a thankless task.

[@TDMFAN]

Yeah we know we produce shit officials in NZ. We have to put up with them at local Super Rugby 'derby' games.

[@ciaranmcgillivray4343]

Willie le roux for man of the match

[@saltsalty3807]

As an England fan, this is hard to watch, as much as SA deserved to win the series, I'm pretty sure any other tier 1 side would have finished the series 3-0 against SA if they had had the starts that England got... made for some great games though

[@2010mrRite]

Not true, I thought the same until SA played New Zealand after England. New Zealand started off with tries just like England. SA came back and won the game... in Wellington New Zealand home.

[@user-bd9wl3cf7z]

ジョニーメイ速すぎて…

[@mS_jackson]

We need to play like this against England next week Go bokke

[@coppo9261]

Nah, cos england play the full 80 now, you wouldnt wanna give them a 25 point lead in the first 20 minutes.

[@rkkeogh988]

Do ye think South Africa could pull off an amazing performance like this again.

[@coppo9261]

Ngl it was shit from both sides. Poor defence. England seem to be the complete package now.

[@craigthom6675]

That's better

[@arthurfletcher9450]

1:03 have the books forgotten how to tackle

[@draconiun01]

South Africa has some really timid defending they need to clean that up if they want to beat Australia or the all blacks but what a game!

[@SuperEdge67]

De Allende’s defence for the first England try was Quade Cooper like. Absolutely pathetic. I hope he plays for the Boks against the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship......and I hope the ABs pick Laumape to run at him.

[@maygeorge5969]

SuperEdge67 yet some fans blame wingers, of which De Allende and Handre left them exposed

[@hikurukutai]

After watching that game any other team would of scored heaps of tries there was no D ford ran over polard

[@snipper671]

That defence on England's first try...

[@hikurukutai]

Where is the D Poms let the boks back into game the wingers may be fast but they need to tackle or make an attempt to good game any way

[@Derrick_Makori]

Willie le roux is master class 👌👊💙

[@preest_nz]

Took you way too long to upload this

[@lunsas]

England were not there to joke , LOL

[@FirstNameLastName-gh2np]

willie le roux is south africas very own ben smith

[@cunniffe6161]

those speedsters are fast, shame they cant tackle,

[@therealmrfishpaste]

It's the defensive pattern that's to blame, not the individual wings...and if you watch carefully it's Pollard and De Allende who actually miss the key tackles...

[@vik4741]

therealmrfishpaste exactly, their tackling was great tonyt

[@juanpbotha]

It will come with time and experience. Outside centre as well.

[@hikurukutai]

You learn to tackle at school not training camps i think the quota system in play there

[@mthunziphakathi4215]

hikurukutai go take a piss

[@chumaxonics]

I felt like we are losing the world cup (2019) when England score first. The English team is very strong heey

Lmao

[@world9806]

I hope you good my friend.. moral of the story don’t doubt yourself

[@lukearmitage1533]

Well done south Africa but come on England had a shocker and no luck let's see if you repeat that performance and I'll tip my hat.

[@rosak8480]

England had a shocker?? really??? So England handed the springboks their tries that won the game? O please give credit where credit is due. This is an experienced English team that got beaten by a relatively inexperienced bok team! If England win next week then its the boks that will loose the game because we have seen this team has the potential to beat the English!

[@lukearmitage1533]

Rosa K did you watch the same game as everyone else it doesn't matter if your English a saffe a kewi or a Scot England had 25 mins in the first half and then fell apart. The bokks played above themselves thats not being funny you guys played well but look at the penalty count and tell me England had a good game.

[@rosak8480]

+Luke Armitage like you said..yes they did have a good 20 mins but what u failing to see is the Boks turned it around with a great comeback and that pressure is what lead to the penalties. England didn't "loose" that Game the boks won it.

[@rossmorebaz]

That is South African Pride

[@overexpose_me]

I wish we had the commentary from the other nation's every time. They are so much more exciting! Stuart Barnes is the absolute worst.

[@LoveRugby2024]

That was a moffie score from itoje

[@FirstNameLastName-gh2np]

damien de allende would have felt turned on then

[@LoveRugby2024]

Michael Barnett hahaha lol

[@Maxarobeli]

Faf De Klerk is Best 9 in entire world

[@romanomakes3850]

Then he should be ranked no1 Aaron Smith is simply the best!!!!

[@SuperEdge67]

დათვლას He’s not even close. Aaron Smith and Connor Murray are miles ahead. De Klerks pass is ponderous compared to Smiths.

[@lungisaninkwanyana2453]

yes i agree

[@TDMFAN]

Not even close to TJ Perenara IMO. He's great, but the standard is so high now that he's definitely not top 3 in the world.

[@SuperEdge67]

Kolby TJ and Aaron Smith would both be top 5 in the world. I don’t think de Klerk is as good as Brad Webber!!. Let alone being the best in the world.

[@shawnhawes2490]

You don't celebrate on others mistakes. Loll. Coz wen they fix those mistakes... It going to be different outcome

[@Lorenzo-iw9nj]

What happened to this nkozi

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

Good old Jantjies. More bark than bite.Did he come on as full back ? I would way rather have gelant,bosch or willemse in front of him and Im a lions supporter.

i think he came on as fly half, so handre pollard moved over to 12

Thanks

Ab and wallaby game are boring. This is better,love the comeback

[@tetapuaroberts1502]

duncaneveryday huh SA was very lucky to win they were always on the backfoot especially within the first 20 minutes, I call it lucky.

[@blacksmoke9495]

Te Tapua Roberts they might be lucky indeed. What's your argument anyway?

[@joshuagroenewald714]

Te Tapua Roberts not lucky, to come back from that deficit takes a huge mental spark. Boks deserved to win it in the end. They were all over the pommies in the second half

[@brendonschutte1300]

Those tries were skill not luck

[@juannicolini471]

Nobody note that the vídeo goes like an old movie frame/second like, pretty cool by the way

[@TDMFAN]

SH: 3 NH: 0

[@JTM1809]

Kolby SH: 3 NH: 1 Wales won comfortably over the Pumas. Let’s not pretend, that it didn’t happen.

[@gabrilvanderberg9880]

Funny they should make Pollard the thumbnail. His performance was terrible. De Allende was the worst can't believe he is even provincial

Sa what a team from a England fan you were the better team today.👌

Shame poms lol

[@lukasMey]

Jantjies does not belong, he always plays sht rugby when wearing the bok jersey

[@hikurukutai]

Here in NZ they call him hair cut we love it when he plays for the boks cause he is useless

Ive never heard anyone call him haircut.... and i live in nz
