[@HeidiHeidi-mh9ct]

PSDT will never get a heart attack because his heart isn't stupid enough to attack him

[@marchennink]

At least we know he is a real person and not RoboBlock. The most humble monster machine ever. What an icon.

[@marksony6123]

When PSDT left for Kindergarten he said to his dad “you’re the man of the house now”

[@Bogey_king]

Best one 😂

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

Brilliant ❤️👍🏻

[@TheSecretsquirrel222]

Only one I haven't seen before. Well done.

[@wayneamarnewil9959]

😂😂

[@thesculptorslab1918]

omg these comments are stitching me up😅

[@Pepgang]

PSDT never flush the toilet. He simply scares the shite out of it

[@janferreira8229]

28 tackles not one high tackle it is something special.

[@TheDruzza]

for sure

[@carterpaul2688]

A truly special athlete and human being

[@robswrld5527]

When i watch him in defense i actually started counting how many times i said his name and jumped up... Because he is just EVERYWHERE. Insane level of strength and determination! HOLY HELL! Just NEVER gives up does he??

[@BarryMaitlandStuart]

Especially when you're 8 foot 24 inches. It's like asking someone to lower the fridge.

[@stevedavidson666]

Nope. While PSDT is an incredible player, the way he tackles is the way it's always supposed to be, something the ABs (particularly) just don't understand these days, and then whinge at the 'unfairness' of getting their captain sent off for a ridiculously dangerous one!

[@MirindaMnambi]

They once tried to name a street after PSDT but they had to rename it because no one crosses PSDT and lives

[@israelnelwamondo2428]

Hahahaha😂😂

[@user-yz8br9be1d]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MarioGarcia-bf6mf]

When Alexander Bell invented the telephone he already had two missed calls from PSDT

[@DarioOle-tp5tp]

When PSDT misses his flight, the plane comes back to get him

[@hugomarx1324]

PSDT was once bitten by a Cobra. After three days of agonizing pain, the Cobra died

[@kalliefernhout4477]

From a South African to a South African, respek Pieter dankie vir jou voorbeeld vir ons land. Groete uit die Paarl

[@gawieloubser]

Ek stem! Respek maat.

[@TheBeerification]

News reports have been saying that recentley New Zealenders are looking twice when crossing the road. Once for cars and a second time for Pieter Steph Du Toit

[@dunxx906]

classic

[@greggquixley8651]

Actions speak louder than words. Pieter Steph was more concerned about the fact that he had used an expletive that was broadcast to millions of kids than the fact that he had shown great leadership in a half time team talk. At his core, he is humble and God fearing. Legend! ❤

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

I am so proud that PSDT is a South African. He is everything I would want my father, brother son to be. God bless you Pieter. The Lord is with you.

[@JaemanEdwards]

Settle down boy 😂

[@martmeister]

Jim doing such amazing things for Rugby and bringing us into these amazing player's lives and minds. It's fascinating!

[@LucrismLukas]

PSDT makes onions cry

[@user-qj6to4yj3s]

When PSDT phone ring in theater, they pause the movie

[@hugomarx1324]

PSDT once heard nothing can kill him so he tracked down nothing and killed it

[@thulasizwenkosi4189]

FIRE COMMENT 🔥🔥🔥

[@LARPGear]

I had the great pleasure of meeting PSDT here in Japan. He was so kind as to chat with my family and me. Such an amazing person on and off the pitch.

[@henniebester9437]

Fantastic. Japan is now part of South African rugby lore - for two very good reasons: 2015 and 2019.

[@riyaadrhoda3990]

Didn't realize that he is just as tall as big Jim. He is extremely mobile for such a big guy.

[@FloatLikeABee]

acceleration and mass = momentum. That's why he hits like a truck.

[@citroes1000]

He started out as a lock when he became professional. He's about 2m tall

[@peterwomersley]

humble chap conservative in outlook A beast on the field Always fair play ! Great interview

[@markilsley2652]

Gentleman in the true sense of the word. Thank you, PSDT, for putting your body on the line to ensure our RWC victories.

[@JJ-li3lk]

It's honestly amazing to see. N A pretty OK rugby player but a real decent understanding and communicative giant as a whole. You do what you do Jim it's appreciated for the growth of our game and damn good content

[@LucrismLukas]

Chuck Norris once entered a bar and saw PSDT Chuck walked out again

[@useruseruseruseruser790]

Not Chuck. I refuse to believe it.

He was unbelievable in the final. He looked possessed. Absolute wrecking machine and one of the best individual performances from a player you will witness

[@localmo88]

Such a great player, legend. Hi from NZ

[@henniebester9437]

He gave the Blacks a nice compliment - huge respect.

[@leeann152]

Wonderful role model. ❤ 🇿🇦

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

Everything the rest of the world’s celebrities aren’t. A man who walks through life with honour and dignity. God bless.

[@GBH001]

Great great player. Interesting because he hasn’t been consistently great due to injury but in the biggest games of his career he has been exceptional

[@subbie5498]

it was a very bad injury almost lost his leg i though he would never be the same but his back to his old self

[@GBH001]

Seems like a good dude as well 👍

They say Napoleon was the greatest strategist but he never managed to conquer Europe like PSDT

[@sihlebebeza2323]

I'm in love with the positive vibes, no slander towards this silent giant. Love him.

[@IwasInThe60s]

When PSDT does push-ups, his body doesn't rise, the earth goes down.

[@trevorerasmus1605]

He's a player for the Big occasion and in our illustrious history he has to be in the top 3 loose forwards we've Ever had.

[@BroderickMilton-dv2sp]

He reminds me of Theuns Stoffberg...big,athletic

[@trevorerasmus1605]

[@justina7041]

Jim, I actually look out for your content mate. You're one of the best out there. I think you're doing excellent work! PSDT comes across like Dan Carter, quiet, humble and decent....and one hell of a player!

[@uSbusiso_]

he gives me Terminator vibe

When a South African gets cold he doesn't put on a jacket, he puts on 2 pairs of shorts.

PSDT can slam a revolving door

[@jojomasipa379]

He is just the epitome of the gentleman playing in a hooligans game. He is one of those people who is just a gentle giant.

Well done Jim, class work mate. Interviewing is getting better and better.

Great to hear him in an interview, just wish it was longer.

Ja so short, I saw this and I thought an hour.

[@craigscoinpurse]

brother i love your videos. the way you connect with the players is very unique and genuine. Big fan.

[@danglybit1]

Everyone was talking about him when he started for the stormers...It took me a while to watch a full game with him...Zinzanish but much more involved in the fray... I was fan almost fm the start...The guy has a huge engine with quiet purrr....a legend of the modern game.

[@mrfearfactory94]

PSDT doesn't sleep, he waits.

[@RadientZAR5749]

[@loysonp]

Big Jim - watched the full show and you are brilliant in bringing the real PSDT to us fans of rugby. Fantastic insight to one of the best performances in a Worldcup Final in any sport! Always look forward to your shows!

[@OldSchool-om2zo]

Living Legend

[@gavinrivers7609]

An absolute legend..

[@user-lw2ng1jb1m]

Hardworking farming family background. It's no surprise that the world's best rugby teams (NZ, SA, Ireland & more) have strong rural farming communities that instill a salt-of-the-earth grit that you won't find in your average Playstation kid.

[@LomuHabana]

Indeed, the Barretts for example are farmers too, same as Kwagga Smith.

[@rvh4034]

The phycologist diagnosed Jordie Barrett with PSDT after that final.

[@user-gj2op4bp2c]

The way you live your life must show that these are the morals of this guy and if you can do that, nothing has to be said. ~PSDT

[@petergibson6589]

One of the greatest rugby players of all time. Pieter Steph and Eben best forwards in the world.

[@gavinsmith28]

Fantastic interview, thanks.

[@yazeedvanwyk1547]

and if you can do that then nothing needs to be said. Pure class!

[@SeanLarkan]

Great interview of a most impressive player & bloke; as a bok fan I think we should give a lot of credit to those Kiwi boys who handled those big hits, and especially Jordie Barrett; they never flinched.

[@normanmdavis3262]

What a guy! Tackler supreme

[@jc10109]

What a legend! One of the all-time greats

[@JaemanEdwards]

Very debatable

[@jc10109]

@@JaemanEdwards well, he does have 2 world cups under his belt. Sure there are other legends besides him, but he's about as good as they get

[@JaemanEdwards]

@@jc10109 At tackling. Let's get that clear. One aspect he's outstanding in. The rest of his play. Meh. You Saffas like announcing one trick ponies as one of the greats. Had this same debate in regards to Handre Pollard. Both great players. Legends even. But both just essentially one trick ponies outstanding at one aspect of rugby. Average at the rest. Neither will go down in the top 5 of there respective positions.

[@juliansteyn7050]

@@JaemanEdwardsSee you in 4 years mate. Good luck chewing those sour grapes

[@JaemanEdwards]

@@juliansteyn7050 Not sour in the least. Not with the Boks. They are deserving if not worthy champions. Monster defence. They fkn earned it the hard way. More sour about the sissy rules that give negative teams the advantage. But that's not the Springboks fault. I know this. Won fair and square. And though not happy at the time, I'm happy with the rugby the All Blacks exhibited despite having the worst coach and captain in history. But crucially, everyone realised who the best team really was. Regardless of who raised the trophy. Good on you South Africa. If not us, then I'm glad it was you boys winning. You or France winning would be fine. You would have seen me real sour if those arrogant Irish dorks won. That would have really pissed me off.
