American's Review of SA's Chasing the Sun Documentary (S2 FINALE)

[@GarnetMelville]

I'm really enjoying seeing someone new develop an appreciation for rugby. Many pundits considered the QF match All Blacks vs Ireland to be the greatest rugby test EVER, that is until the following evening, when in the other QF, the Springboks vs France surpassed it as the greatest game ever played. Now, Squidge does an amazing analysis of both these games, but I would recommend first watching the full matches and then watching Squidge's analysis in perspective,

[@JaemanEdwards]

Deluded One semi had one team attempting to play rugby and the other doing nothing but feed off mistakes. The other had two attacking teams attacking. You're a soy Squidge disciple so I'm not surprised at your outlook. People like Squidge and Eggchasers have a fundamentally different outlook on rugby than us Kiwis. Must be why not many Kiwis watch these two pale saps.

[@QSNgg]

Thanks so much Garnet! I really appreciate you and all of your support boss. There were so many exceptional matches last WC and I loved catching up and looking at the replays. I'm sad I missed it live Squidge does an exceptional job of analysis and breakdown. I love his view on rugby and his perspective

[@rittherugger160]

There is a saying in rugby that goes "The forwards decide who wins the match. The backs decide by how much." The game has changed a lot in the last couple decades. It used to be very different. Rucks were different (more bodies and everyone on their feet). Mauls were different. They weren't just for lineouts. They were a very effective tactic in loose play. Back then Bath's club motto was, "The forwards shall win the ball (gain possession) The forwards shall keep the ball (maintain possession) And the backs shall buy the beer."

[@JaemanEdwards]

In South Africa it's 'The forwards win the game, the fly half kicks the goal, the backs freeze their arses off waiting for the ball"

[@QSNgg]

I really love that quote and I'm now learning how true that is now that I've been studying the forwards more It's crazy to see how the game has developed over the years

[@siyandarasi8494]

A lot of work was put into this. Well done bro for amazing work.

[@QSNgg]

Thanks so much Siya! I appreciate you and your kind words. It means a lot 🙌🏽

[@WinterWeaver]

That France game was one of the best International matches I've seen

[@JaemanEdwards]

The All Blacks v Ireland semi was better though

[@user-is9of]

True but both were arguably the two best test matches of all time ​@JaemanEdwards

[@WinterWeaver]

@@JaemanEdwards possibly, but a game always hits you harder when your team is the one playing, so I may be biased. I did watch the AB/Ire game as well and enjoyed it immensely; But I also knew the AB would win that game, they had a score to settle, and I noticed they were slowly building back. Never understood why everyone else wrote them off, and just assumed Ireland would knock them out.

[@cella6495]

@@JaemanEdwards France vs The Boks were better game

[@wesrobmat]

That game was crazy hard. I was watching it in a bar in LA with mixed South African and French supporters. The bar lit up in the final minutes. 🎉

[@JaxXgotGame]

Deon Fourie's father actually recovered and is still alive. When Deon came back home he went to see his dad and put his medal around his father's neck. What makes Deon Fourie's story so special is that he is the oldest Springbok debutant (about 35 years old), I think it was mentioned in the documentary that at that age Deon accepted the fact that he will never wear the Springbok jersey. But a year later after getting his 1st cap for the Springboks, he represents South Africa at the World cup, playing a crucial role in the final and winning it all at the age of 37 years old.

[@spervuurproduksies]

And being the captain...

[@QSNgg]

Thanks for letting me know that his dad didn't pass. I kept thinking he did and I'm happy to hear that he's alive and well 🙌🏽 Deon does have an exceptional story and I'm going to do my homework on him even more now that I was introduced to his story. I appreciate you Jax! It's always great hearing from you

Understanding who we are as a nation, understanding what our love and passion for sports unites us in a way nothing else ever will. Thank you 🙏

Linda! Wow, I can't tell you how much your comment means to me. You've got me all choked up here! I'm so touched that my videos have resonated with you on such a deep level. South African rugby is something special, and I'm just trying my best to do it justice, you know? It's amazing how sport, especially rugby, can unite a nation. The passion you all have for the game is just incredible. I'm learning more every day about what it means to South Africans, and it's honestly inspiring. Thank you so much for subscribing and for sharing your feelings. Comments like yours remind me why I love doing this. It's not just about the game - it's about the people, the culture, the heart behind it all. You're family now, Linda!

Keep that Springbok spirit alive, and know that you've got a new fan cheering along with you from across the ocean!

Great review man. I will never forget where I was watching the final. Hamilton Hornets rugby club in Canada. Surrounded by kiwis. I shouted my head off at the end I could speak the next day. Dion Fourie was a machine and Peter Steph du Toit destroyed the All Blacks with 28 massive hits, what a warrior. Also Ebens monster tackle in the first two minutes on Richie M was a game changer. I love the All Blacks. They bring out the best in the Bokke and you will be hard pressed to find a more legendary rivalry in any sport.

[@JaemanEdwards]

It's actually not that big a rivalry. NZ is so far abead in wins over South Africa. We Kiwis actually fear playing France over the Springboks. With the Springboks, there is always the expectation of a victory. With France, less so. France are the All Blacks bogie team.

[@QSNgg]

Thanks so much Wes! I appreciate you boss! I really love the rivalry and respect between SA and NZ. It's so great to see that level of talent between two amazing nations They definitely bring out the best in each other for sure

I just love your reactions and passion for learning rugby and comparing it to AFL or NFL. Every time OX win a scrum it is chocolate cake 1 vs Salad 0 😂😂😂. He is just a beast in the scrum. In South Africa, manual labor is farming 1on1. It is just not the same as big scale farming. One thing that is true is South Africans are not scared to be tackled or to tackle because we use to doing it on hard groud pitches. Some rugby pitches don't even have grass at all. In South Africa we are raised on meat pap and potatoes no salads😂😂😂😂

[@QSNgg]

Thanks so much Annette! I always appreciate your support and kind words. It means a lot haha I love that chocolate cake vs salad for Ox 🤣🤣 He is a beast for sure! I love the South African mentality and toughness. Just seeing like you mentioned you're playing in dirt pitches in some towns speaks to the strength of these athletes I can't wait to visit SA!

[@JannieFourie-n7c]

Let's talk about the 7 one split.Cheslin can play 9 and 15,Kwagga can play any position in the backline so there was a lot of structure behind the decision.

[@JaemanEdwards]

Saffas are so backwards

[@QSNgg]

Thanks for letting me know more about the 7:1 split. Now that I'm learning more about rugby and how like you mentioned Cheslin or Kwagga can play multiple positions, it shows why Rassie was so confident to make that decision in such a critical match

[@wot4922]

To me, it was like whatever the rugby world threw against our boys, they prevailed. They earned my undying respect 💚💛🇿🇦

[@JaemanEdwards]

They prevailed because of modem sissy nanny state laws. They prevailed because the superior All Blacks team was down to 14 men for 50 minutes.

[@QSNgg]

I love that! They persevered through all the obstacles for sure. I loved this doc and how well they covered every aspect of the game from behind the scenes. South Africa has all my love and respect 💚💛🇿🇦

[@happysaffa8871]

So, the 7-1 split is extremely risky because if you have injuries in your backline, especially key positions like scrumhalf, fly half, fullback or centre's, especially in a RWC final, it could be disastrous. Unless you have players that can cover key positions all over the park. Eg: Cheslin can play 11,14,15,9,10. Damian W can play 10,12,14,11,15. Kwagga Smith can play 11,14,8,7,6. Let's not even mention deon fourie... I can go on but you get my point. Other countries didn't have faith in their depth of players and still thought of bench players being the 2nd choice players. Instead of understanding its 1 big team. Rassie built this versatility and no one else had, so they blamed him for exploiting the laws. Sounds like a genius to me... thanks for the video, keep up the awesome work.🇿🇦

Thanks for your exceptional explanation and breakdown of the 7-1 and the intricacies and risks of it. You're spot on when you say Rassie is a genius to implement and execute that decision.

1 thing you need to know. In South Africa we have 12 official langues. What Tom Curry accused Bongi of as a racial slur was actually a play called in Afrikaans ''wit kant'' which mean ''white side's so that was just a opening for Curry to get in Bongi's head but we all as a nation stand by Bongi and we will not back down. Even Ben O'Keefe did not pay it much attention

[@QSNgg]

That makes perfect sense on the languages and the Afrikaans translation that was taken out of context. I was wonder what was said. I love how the team and South Africa rallied to support Bongi. That was inspiring to see

[@annettekolb3103]

@QSNgg it is so sad that when that is over then it is all back to normal. Crime corruption and everything that is so wrong in our country. An hour after the World Cup celebration, loadshedding kicked in. Now it is the T20 cricket world. Up to now, there is no loadshedding touch wood. Sport is the thing that is the glue to our country but it does come with more negatives then positives.

South Africa United like never before and supported him... the Springboks did it for their "Kant-ry"... FYI Kant is Afrikaans for side...pronounced like the c.nt curse word that Tom Curry thought Bongi said
