All 28 tackles from Springbok Pieter-Steph du Toit in Rugby World Cup final 2023

That's what I noticed as well. Not just the tackles but immediately back in defense after the tackle. He was just in the zone that night.

A perfect machine. All his tackles are forceful and, most importantly, they are crucial to the game. The speed and stamina he uses to get back in the line after the tackle is outstanding. World class player.

[@treeZo360]

I was waiting for someone to come up with this compialation. Well done world rugby firstly. Secondly, wow...what a player and what a performance, from his younger days playing craven week i never thought this type of performance was in him. He was very athletic and skilled, scored a lot of tries, linked up, yes made big hits but his hunger to get back up and make a big difference in defence is what sets him apart these days. Hardest working forward whenever he is on the field. How anybody would not want this dude in their team is beyond me 😢

[@antakalipa]

Unbelievable performance! What a player! Well deserved Man of the match award, he won us the World Cup.

[@Deletthis-gp7yy]

They all did. Everyone. It's a family and everyone understood their role and did it exceptionality well. Kudos to the Springboks

[@garypatterson9593]

PSDT put on masterclass similar to one Olivier Magne in 1999 when he killed us. You combine the brilliance of PSTD with our 13 handling errors (we had 1 against Ireland!), some unforced but most due to pressure. This is where the game was lost for the ABs. Add to this 7 clean line breaks and SA had 37 missed tackles. We had 60% possession!! 10 penalties against SA, at least 3 were kickable and we chose territory on at least 2 occasion. We missed a conversion and a penalty. We may not like it and some of my fellow Kiwis are still burying the head in the sand and crying about officiating, honestly get over it! We had plenty of chances to put the pressure back on SA and we didn't. We played a gallant game but a bridge too far for our lads on the day. Super proud with what they achieved but ultimately SA wanted it more and we were beaten by the better team on the day. And so the rivalry continues. Well done to our Southern Brothers you have made an art form out of winning rugby with grinding defense. Granted, it wasn't pretty but it sure was intense! That's 4 RWC Finals and 4 wins! Look forward to seeing you in 2027 with a new coach and team that will blow (hopefully!) you guys off the park. Enjoy the spoils of war while they last. Next season is just around the corner.

[@qamagqobo1675]

What a man! Thanks

[@rumplestillskin01]

Cheers for that !! Deep respect for the All Blacks- unbelievable performance with 14 men and under so much intense pressure from the Boks- I wonder how the Boks would’ve reacted if that conversion went over- super happy the penalty was missed though! Could have really gone either way , and if the All Blacks had won it with 14 men we would never hear the end of it ….so feeeew

[@garypatterson9593]

@@rumplestillskin01 I guessed that's the point, had we got our noses in front SA would have been chasing but would you have delivered attacking fire power? Had we got the penalty and the conversion with CK in the bin chasing 16-12....how different could the outcome have been? A pentaly or drop goal option would have been taken out of the equation... Anyway didn't happen. We missed having a Dan Carter type player on the field and we will need to rectify that before the next RWC.

This is great, World Rugby, but open your footage up to content creators so that they can give us the insight into the game you don't.

Shhh! Don't let them catch on to what we've known for years. Springboks are superfit. All of them! In their self-proclaimed greatness, including being the fittest team in the history of rugby, we should encourage them to run our boys off their feet. Play right into our hands everytime. Evident as far back as Wellington 2018 where the Boks made over a cazillion tackles that day. And yet 'we're' unfit. 😂😂😂

[@Martin-pb7ts]

They talk it up. It was funny in the newspapers in the week running up the final, here in Auckland, suddenly the AB players were talking about how tough they were being in the practice sessions. Just seemed weird, they don't usually talk about that but all of a sudden it was a big deal about how they were going full tilt and it was like a war in the practice arena. It felt like they were trying to convince themselves that they were tough enough to go toe-to-toe with the Boks.

[@canadiancontent352]

Actually a great point. Etzebeth also got low to wipe out Mo'ounga. Kiwis won't like this but I think the high tackling tendency comes from rugby league where all the tackles are about wrapping up the ball. If Cane goes low into Kriel's chest, like he can, he possibly knocks him, legally, out of the game by breaking a rib or something. I used to dream of ball carriers stepping back into me like that (at a playing level 100 times lower mind you). Can hit Henshaw in a similar fashion, though harder years ago. A Kiwi friend of mine said that's how he hits. All Blacks the only team with 2 Reds in the tournament, both for reckless tackles.

[@aldobonaso3481]

[@davidsampson94]

Unreal performance, almost never is a player so menacing on defense like pieter steph du toit. The game has a defensive threat aspect to it. Strong defense is attack. Particularly rush defense and high kicks. Strong deliberate defensive "set-ups" cause turnovers and penalties which cost possesion and or territory and eventually points. It also allows you to physically hit your opposition when they are in the most vulnerable moments. Unbelievable read from the boks, they have redefined the way the game is played and few understand it.
