"CHASING BRANNAS" | DEON FOURIE & JOHN DOBSON INTERVIEW

[@Arti-iChi]

Deon's first time playing New Zealand and facing the Haka was in the world cup final...Amazing

[@w0tnessZA]

What?? And he played like a beast. That is amazing yea.

You know Timmy, just thinking here...alot of us Saffas have been vocal and thanking you for your efforts here in SA, reflecting on our country and the rugby which is at great heights now...and the splendid job you do presenting SA to the rugby world.. But, it needs to be said : you're a credit to the English people: your honesty, your humble eloquence, your unbridled passion, your ability to embrace all we throw at you and simply your shared love of the game. Don't think you've been given sufficient credit for this. Please come back - we do mean it when we say you're an adoptive ambassador!

[@theooberholzer3734]

I endorse this message.

[@FrancoisCarstens-ol6fx]

100% spot on! Have to agree with this! Thanks Tim!

[@truthfinder7064]

Deon is such a humble human being. Our kids are at the same wrestling club, so I see him quite often. He is exactly the same off the field as well. Reserved and respectful. Great guy.

[@jean-pierreduven7234]

Tim, you quickly becoming the go to guy for in-depth rugby content, can't get enough, thank you.

[@kobuslouw9533]

John Dobson is such a top bloke. Love listening to him.

[@theooberholzer3734]

Totally agree! What a character, what insight and what amazing wisdom and honesty! I didn't know the guy until this interview.

[@KwizatsHaderach8]

To the point of the rugby crowds being more inclusive early in the video...I read Rassie's book, lent to me by (and the classification is necessary here) a 26yr old black lady at my work. That would NEVER have happened even 10-15yrs ago...much less pre- 1995. Rugby and Rassie has done wonders for our society. When the government learns Rassie's trick, SA will be unstoppable!

[@kathleendubois7128]

💯

[@janevanreenen8768]

@@KwizatsHaderach8 this speaks volumes. Rassie and his innovation and inspiration have worked immeasurably for the good of our beautiful country💪🏻🇿🇦💪🏽

[@blaquenguni9249]

Breh there's no magic that's gonna happen till the majority of the SA population gets to benifit from the countrie's wealth.

[@vinceroos]

You're assuming incorrectly that the government wants to make SA unstoppable.

[@SamF-vc9gh]

Deon has always been a great rugby player,watched him play from his early days at WP as hooker. Becoming a bok, playing in a rwc final and lead as a captain in the final is a career fullfilled. Well done deon.

[@theooberholzer3734]

I remembered him as a hooker but was totally befuddled (many years later) when a guy with the same name was selected as a flanker for South Africa. What a legend!!

[@acejj4show]

Cant believe you got this done. Well actually I can. Well done Tim, good man👌🏼

[@TheChoppy007]

I have to say that as a South African getting to hear these two gentlemen in conversation is such a treasure! You've outdone yourself Tim. Other people have said it before but it's worth repeating - getting to see our rugby through your eyes has given me an appreciation for the game in SA that we take for granted (a good example is Craven Week - it's just always been there - but you've made me realise how special it is). Baie dankie vir die video boet!

[@Champ-vids]

They need to make a movie of this man's Springbok story. Oldest debutante, played out of position for basically a full game in the bloody RWC final against the bloody All Blacks. And to top it all off he was the bloody on-field captain at the final whistle..

[@hardusengelbrecht7595]

@eggchasers - This was a landmark visit to SA as a content producer where you have officially gone next level!!! Boksoffice, this interview (which I loved the most), the collobaration with Keo & Zels ... wow!!!! Massive fan of yours and love that the authenticity of your content and very excited to see where this going next!!! Please do a NZ visit and get into the DNA of NZ rugby (?)

[@garthmanuel5701]

hes going next year

[@vinceroos]

Thanks Tim. Now I'm late for work.

[@mariusgrobler]

😂

[@brettfleiner4906]

Dobbo sitting there with his belly out like a proper South African ballie.

[@lf4416]

I’m so glad that Dobbo touched on the point about how many kids in schools that aren’t model C or above aren’t getting a look in. When I read comments from other countries about how SA has 65 million people I always want to scream how so many of that number still don’t have access or choice to access rugby or facilities and coaching that will help them get to professional level. Imagine the talent we’re missing out on. This is not a criticism as I realise there is no easy solution but I hope it is something they are working on. Great conversation between 3 absolute gents. Although I’m a Sharks fan I really enjoy listening to Dobbo and enjoy watching the Stormers play. This was a great watch!

[@surfango1]

Brilliant interview with top blokes. Deon's name will go down in history as the RWC final winning captain 2023 and who has never lost to the ABs. BRANNAS!!

[@nickysebastianmiller]

Finally got your dream INTERVIEW ❤❤❤

[@barthettema3727]

What a bunch of legends “The future of rugby is in the past” wow 😮. Brannas you beauty, get back on the field. Dobbo the epitome of humbleness, and of course the best conversationalist is Tim the Eggchaser. Great content

[@andredevilliers6285]

Once a Stormer always a Stormer.

[@AdeebChristian]

Thank you Tim for getting these awesome guys on the show. Credit to you as well for everything that you're willing to do. Lifelong fan here from SA.

[@ktm690endurorally]

Awesome! We were hoping that you did get your Deon interview, thought it didn’t happen. So chuffed

[@brendonjennings3934]

As a subscriber and Stormers fan this is manna from heaven

[@bradram777]

The moment we have all been waiting for! Get in Brannas and Timotjie Ndlovu!

[@philipleroux2765]

Dobbo’s dad was an absolutely legend - loved him

[@olympicjbrag5913]

Wow Tim.....what a guy. What a legend. And bringing in Deon. Oh mate. You need to move so South Africa.

[@johanvandermerwe4884]

For some of your viewers who maybe did not understand what Dobbers meant calling himself a "Soutie". It is Afrikaans slang refering to some English speaking South Africans. The best translation I can come up with would be Salty. That describes a guy With his one foot in S A and the other in England and refers to the part dangling in the ocean!

[@reabetswekhiba7551]

Tim’s content has definitely improved Honestly fast becoming the best rugby YT Incredible content

[@Graham159871]

Great great great interview, 2 legends of Western Cape rugby

[@richardhills5240]

Thanks!

[@michaelrautenbach7506]

Tim the legends of the Cape right there. Ask Dobbo about his father... He was a even bigger legend

[@matthewwoolley6263]

There is no way to better start the day 🥳 Thanks yet again Tim!

[@pamaerysovershares7373]

Oh my gosh Tim! It’s happened! I can’t wait to watch 😭

[@murraycampbell4043]

Ah Deon Fourie. The man with the biggest heart. To win a World Cup at 37, playing almost the entire final, the last bit as captain, while carrying an injury, with family stress, playing out of position, against the New Zealand All Blacks… he’s just such a champion warrior. God bless you Deon Fourie you YSTER.

[@Goggawie]

Rassie has the players to choose from, he uses the bench successfully, he uses the individual strengths to combine the effective team.

[@talana9771]

This is great content! Was waiting for your interview with our Brannas and now we get the bonus of Dobbo as well! Thanks so much Tim!

[@Shaun-u3n]

So glad you got your interview with Brannas and bonus with Dobo too . 🍻

[@randomlyfactual1943]

What. A. Get! Great job on getting this interview, Tim! A few thoughts, if I may: - Dobbo is 100% about transformation. Yes, the quota system was a pain but not only do we not have to count anymore, our player pool has increased by millions. - Consider the fact that up until 1995 we were the most successful rugby side by sheer winning percentage. Obviously this was during the dark days of the past BUT we have that same DNA except now our player base is absolutely huge. - Also consider the fact that the URC is not a domestic league for us, plus most of our Springboks don't play for SA teams. This is evidence of that enormous player base we've been building. Methinks the future of Rugby in South Africa is burning bright.

[@getridofneocons]

Dobbo son of my old teacher and Brannas,wow what an interview

[@avrilgardiner9111]

Rassie won't be around forever, and I think his biggest challenge is to plan for his successor. That would ensure that what he and his team of coaches, aministrators and players built up the past decade won't be lost overnight. The Doctor is wise enough to realise that, I'm sure.

[@simthembilemangwana]

Yea you definitely right about Rassie not being around forever and I think the preparations for that have kinda begun already. For example with Jacques Nienaber, felix and alot others being overseas at the moment they'll be exposed to how alot of nations play and in future will have soaked all of it up and add on to the type of rugby south africa plays and continue to evolve our game

[@cathryngray514]

Love this interview. Thank you Tim. From a Stormers supporter

[@kabousleroux9157]

Excellent, interview! Wow, thank you, I enjoyed that a lot. We live in a golden age.

[@llewellynlamb9545]

I think this Gloden age will last a long time if World Rugby does not stuff us round even more eg law changes.

[@BaconPancake165]

Thank you, Egg Chasers, for another Banger of a video, and we are so happy you got to do the interview old Dobbo and Deon !

[@joeritchie2]

Fantastic interview Tim, with two first class rugby folk; well worth the wait. Thanks for pursuing this. I can see Fourie as a top coach a few years down the road.

[@soidog659]

Look like Tim has been chasing the South African sun?🥵

[@Alias-gy3tz]

South Africa's sun needs no chasing. 😉

I have been waiting for this video for months, great to see it, finally. I'll edit this reply once I've actually watched it fully, lol

[@sakkiekibido1665]

As a south african. I loved this interview and i love how Dobbo speaks about the wrong of the past. Good one Egg chasers you earned a subscriber.

Did I just fall back in love with the Stormers?😂

[@MarcelAspenite]

Dobbo, Branas, Western Cape rugby💪🏾 Thanks for adding so much value to our URC! Top interview, thought I’d watch a few minutes but hooked all the way through!

[@lourensduplessis3410]

Tim had a comment regarding why he does this channel, and that it was to showcase the game that gave him so much. Personally with the coverage he's given and getting to know the players, coaches and commentators better in a more relaxed and unscripted environment has made the game so much more appealing and interesting on a new level - class act Tim - you're busy accomplishing your mission. I hope the other countries you visit are as welcoming

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

The Champions Cup needs to be a knockout tournament with top Teams from URC, France, England played after those leagues are finished. Too much dilutes the excitement. Tim fantastic content. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Deon Fourie I well remember from his younger days. Unbelievable rugby player.

[@robcrocker348]

Awesome interview Tim, so glad your wish came true

[@ilmarlatti]

one of the best......thank you

[@KJTmethod]

Deon Fourie is a legend, he gave my 8 year old son his socks after the Boks beat the Wallabies in Sydney, those socks are framed and above my sons bed, he was born a Aussie but loves the Springboks and considers himself a South African because of Deons kind gesture 👌😊

[@RozWentworth]

Great stuff once again Tim...going to your channel daily to check for new content...and offcourse saved videos on your comments and reactions during WC from quarters to finals in a RWC 23 we folder

[@grahamtopzand8111]

Well done Tim. Like a kid in a rugby shop. In your element. Happy for you. Cheers. 🍻

[@chrismia2402]

URC is the best watch of any rugby comp in the world.

[@lydiapotgieter7867]

Magic stuff! Thanks Tim. Appreciated

[@Pooler29]

Been waiting for this one...and you delivered again Tim. Well done. I can lay no claim to the success of your brilliant channel but for some reason I take an inordinate amount of almost "parental" pride in seeing you grow in leaps and bounds and how eagerly awaited your video's are. (I subscribed when you only 8k subscribers). I think its because (besides your content quality) you come across as being genuine and having no hidden agenda's. I don't agree with everything you say but never take umbrage because of your unbiased and respectful approach to all teams. Long may it continue. There are about 5 channels I watch when I want a deeper perspective and yours is right up there. I can't wait till you go to New Zealand. I'd like your take on how the two rugby mad countries compare. If you think Cape Town is beautiful, you need to take a trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth along the Garden Route. Give yourself at least 5 days.

[@wynandduplessis9166]

What a fantastic episode - thank you, Tim!

[@abeaslan7603]

Tim you wanted meet Deon and you did good on ya bud he’s a great player

Tim I believe in the next couple of years your channel will become the biggest rugby one on KZbin. You're a legend man. And my word, Deon's legs look like a powerlifter's. Dobbo is such an articulate man as well, has a lot of poise. Your way or style of interview is the best in the game Tim, Love from a NZ based Saffa 👍

[@peterblomerus6335]

Dobbo has a great human element as I had a brief chat with him when stormers played Newport....open to conversation and came over to us (I was next to another stormers fan). I said we have alot of "ballers" as willemse was ruled out that day and gap was filled by warrick gelant. So not surprised to see Sacha doing his 'thing' and sure he won't be the last, so great to see skills levels over time across the nation now being envy of the world.
