It's so refreshing to hear actual rugby players talk about the game, rather than the endless bickering from media on both sides

Hahahaha. I love Schalk just filling up the beers and having a few ones live. Adds to the real time ambience of the show.

[@creekyknee]

What a great way to spend 53 minutes of your life. That was so interesting guys, I'll be honest there was times when I had to strain to try and understand what you were saying. But for someone who loves Rugby this was absolute bliss. As if it needs to be said CJ is a treasure in Ireland, his attitude, personality, work ethic and humility is something that we all love. I could listen to you guys all day.

[@antonyholmes7451]

I am a bit slow to catch up on this (been watching the UK elections) but I agree that Shimmy is masterful in directing the conversation and Schalk is always very insightful and articulate.

[@zuberhaniff2938]

Everytime I look at CJ I think of Pat lambie. Such a promising young talent.

Diehard Bok supporter - I'm glad CJ is still totally loyal to Ireland. I'd lose respect for him if he was paper thin.

as an irish fan i always felt CJ was all in with us and that there confirms it. in SA surrounded by Saffas and still flying the flag. irish rugby legend.

[@Lochvey]

Really looking forward to this series, and great to see how excited the home fans are. A few Saffers on this thread are beyond confident though - it's never too bright to underestimate Ireland. Can't wait for Saturday!

Ireland will meet the rugby mad supporters in SA! Thy will frget thy name are Ireland thy will support the Boks to win

[@eddieonoka8923]

Shimmy has incredible charisma and you can tell all the guests have a great time on the show. Bloody good tight head in his day and a role model Bok and UCT coach. Schalla is a wealth of rugby knowledge, a living Bok legend and good value for banter.Same goes with JdV- one of the great captains the Boks have had in recent years. This show is truly an organic success- from RWC 2023 and beyond.

[@dr.yves7]

Did he also play tighthead? Only remembered him as a hooker

[@user-lf4kf8ww5o]

Love you guys …what a blast . Shimmy it is clear that the Bishops DNA helped you to overcome your Rondebosch experience . 😂😂. All you now need is to get Tim ( Egg catchers ) and Big John to join your show. Look forward to next week .

[@byr0nuser]

[@101MIGHTYJOE]

As an irish fan i think that ireland have a 23 to beat any team, however when it comes to world cups our lack of depth in key positions like loosehead, scrumhalf, full back, etc means that we dont have the quality back ups play that many games in such a short period of time. Every world cup winning team (aside from 1999) the team with the best squad and not just the best team has won?

[@ogokoz]

Think we need to loosen the rule about overseas players for players with X amount of caps

[@jankoekemoer6034]

Man remember that game against the french in the beginning of the 6 nations. Maybe you guys see something different but the Irish are going to be brutal. I'm calling a 3 point margin.

[@burncarlow]

Irish fan here. We would love another performance like that France game. It's hard to see it happening but I never underestimate Farrells' ability to get a performance out of players. Despite what the media and keyboard warriors say not many irish are expecting a win. I just wish leinster had taken stronger teams to play the lions earlier in the year.

[@wynandvanzyl8798]

Schimmey, I still don’t know why the taxi didn’t want to give you a ride in Paris.

[@gideonvanniekerk4252]

Great Show!

[@craig6520]

It's funny because the 'final that should have been' was mostly talked about from pundits from other countries like England, Scotland, Wales and France. Of course Ireland fancied their chances at the RWC but it's over and the boks proved themselves as the best team.

[@ericdavison6186]

[@mazibukomail]

Poor Jean de Villiers, always catching stick.

[@MarcoV_dj]

it came after the 38-5(2017/18) loss in Ireland , the irish media lambasted the Boks , it was coetzee last game as coach.

[@burncarlow]

As an irish fan let me tell you that nobody listens to the media here. There has always been a respect for the boks and will always be. They are the giants of rugby and what we aspire to be. People not from Ireland forget that we were terrible at rugby up until the 2000s and it took 9 more years for us to win a 6 nations. There probably was too much celebration after that big win against the boks (I forget) but it's long gone and we won't be winning like that again anytime soon.

[@honahwikeepa2115]

The AB has done it a few times and hit 50+ on occasions. Ireland defeated the AB at home twice. The AB then lost to the Puma and then the Bokkie in South Africa. Three loses in a row. The following weekend the AB beat the Bokkie. Ireland approach to a game is similar to that of the AB. You must win wherever you play and whoever you play. The AB legacy is built upon this approach. You must impose your will upon your opponent.

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

seems like the comment "World Cup final that should have been" really cut the Boks deep!

[@sdv917]

It's pretty disrespectful and dismissive of the two top rugby nations of all time that sent the Irish and French packing in the QF.

[@StaalBurgher0]

Doesn't cut deep, just highlights NH hubris.

[@unleashedmystery]

south africans are sensitive af. See you in the final was a compliment like you guys are amazing you'll be in the final and hope to see you there... jesus xD

[@Camcolito]

Ezebeth not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[@nox6885]

Why on earth is that a compliment? Because you've never been past the quarters, so how did the Irish players think they'd get passed ABs. We are sensitive because we lose to the ABs when we shouldn't. It's called respect. Ever since Ireland got to number 1, you guys thought you shit ice cream 😅😅😅😅. I respect Ireland, probably respect Wales more. They don't change because they've moved up the rankings and they are a real rugby nation. You guys take yourselves way to seriously all of a sudden. Reminds us of the English. Fans not so much but your pundits are so snobby all of a sudden lol. I love me Irish people by the way. But it doesn't suit you guys to be dicks. It suits us perfectly because that's who we are and as you can see by these legends talking here, we love a good laugh, especially at ourselves to be honest. Will be a good game no matter what happens. I'm shitting bricks to be honest. Loftus and Durban go very quiet if the Boks are not playing well and some of our biggest defeats have been in these stadiums.

[@nox6885]

Also, Afrikaans guys are not about mincing and twisting their words, if Eben says that's what they said, that's exactly what they said. Why would he lie about it? Not one Irish player has called his bluff.

[@wot4922]

We are sensitive and defensive. However, you would be too if you got the amount of flack our boys and we fans get💚💛🇿🇦

[@mjribes]

Seems you're the sensitive one - why have Eben's comments upset you so much. Toughen up tiger.

hope I'm wrong but Ireland are on a downward curve and seemed tired at the end of the season. Throw in a good few first choicers missing, I think it has to be South Africa

[@Nick-18]

South Africa has a global team, S.A players are also fatigued. Injuries, Kitshoff, Kleyn, de jager, vermeulen retired, mapimpi and willemse out. It doesn't make sense to bring that up when S.A have that to deal with

I think the Springboks will win game 1. I expect 6-8 changes for game 2 by the Springboks and that will allow the Irish a win in Durban.

[@StaalBurgher0]

There wont be 6-8 changes in 2nd game. Maybe 2 or 3 at a stretch.

The Irish players have been pretty awful lately, they could have done with the summer off; like the French - but they made themselves available... if this was in Cape Town, I think it would have been close, but I think the Boks will win by at least 10. Good luck guys, enjoy the game!

Ireland is not 80% Leinster.. POM, Crowley , Casey , aki , Murray . Nash. Beirne. Finay McCloskey ; Henderson, Hansen, jager, plus more are all players who start for ireland or are taken off the bench during the 80 mins. It’s a different set of management completely . That and there is only 4 provinces to play for in ireland. So the numbers will always be skewed. But I do think we are running a bit of on empty now.
