RUGBY GONE WILD | 24 HOURS IN PRETORIA

I wanted to take you with me on the whole day watching a titanic Test Match between South Africa and Ireland that didn't disappoint. But more than the rugby, all the people, sights, sounds, beers, brandys and braais. A crazy day.

[@Jhetx]

This guy was a simple youtuber, look at him now. So impressed, being treated like rugby royalty, getting back stage passes, seat on the field. Very well deserved!

[@stefandebeer6796]

Coz he says it as it is, no beating around the bush... strait, honest and objective!

[@riri1718]

He was more than a simple youtuber; you must be new here.

[@clydebear6914]

@@riri1718 I'm sure he was referring to him when he first started the channel. I subbed when was on about 10k and he wasn't doing many live reports back then. But all deserved for sure. He's easily the best rugby channel around.

Went skiing with a group of Irish and they were the freandliest bunch. Couldn't escape the compliments and friendliness even when I was falling my ass off and holding the group back. Very nice people.

[@greatleapforwards]

Yeah.. I'm in Ireland, and what you see on social media is not representative of the real interaction between us and the Irish.

[@eugeneduplessis140]

He said it.... Hulle Weet nie wat ons weet nie... Once you visit south Africa you know it's only a few online trolls that give us a bad name abroad.

[@edlanjacobs5491]

The Irish fan at the end summed it up perfectly. South Africans are poorly represented online / social media by a small group who are the noisiest. I wish people could see the true representation of SA fans. Thanks for showing some of this Tim.

[@Bongiduma-qc4zm]

If the South African we're respected after the world cup. They'd be humble but we've been dealing with nasty comments from all of them and you want us humble and quiet, givr us a break. Even now the Irish are crying ref and tmo.. ill never respect them. Never

[@brettfleiner4906]

I think part of the problem is we're easily triggered into "standing up for ourselves" and any trolling that gets aimed at us always gets a reaction.

[@travilee1]

Hi Tim, huge huge fan of your channel since the RWC'23.I've never been to Loftus before, and this video has just made me envious of what it's really like when the Springboks win. The party atmosphere and cordiality between opposing fans is something to behold. And I wholeheartedly agree with that Irish man's sentiments about the banter and trolling of fans online. It's exactly what it is, just banter. South Africans are just a friendly bunch of people who are beyond passionate about their rugby and beloved Springboks. FYI, I managed to get a ticket with a group of my close friends to watch the ALL BLACKS VS BOKS at Cape Town. Will be my very first time of watching these two great rivals play each other. As you've probably read online, those tickets are like gold and scarce as hens teeth. Sold out in matter of minutes, but we bought ours a few months ago, when the suite tickets became available. Hope to run into you there in September. Again, love your unbiased and factual perspective on the game. Keep up the good work and may your channel continue to grow. You're a great ambassador not just for the game of rugby, but also our beautiful country.

[@joeritchie2]

Boks v AB matches are always an event. I managed to bet to Wellington for the game South Africa won 36-34. Westpac Stadium isn’t quite Loftus, but there was still a great pregame vibe including NZ BBQ vs braai stands with rosemary-lamb sausage dogs up against those made of boerewors…..Excellent stuff and an unforgettable match.

[@mikezog1030]

I went to the game at Loftus with a Welsh friend who was wearing his red jersey when Wales lost to the Boks by 95-3 odd. He didn't buy a beer all night as Afrikaners were coming up to him all night after the game saying "ag shame man, let me buy you a beer..."😆

[@SB-wh9kf]

For a one man spare bedroom team you're doing better than Supersport in your coverage of the behind the scenes footage. Supersport usually interviews only celebrities and one or two fans in the before the game footage and nothing afterwards. Your camera work is exceptional for the resources you have. Congrats from a subscriber since world cup days.

[@at7512]

End of the day, Rugby wins..👌👌

[@jomattza]

Had no idea there were so many Saffas following your channel, also been checking your reporting since RWC 2023. Why do we like you? Guess because you're a great treat to watch; you're fair; you're better than a lot of broadcast crap we get to see; and you share a global passion. Now when (not if) you get that BIG SPONSORSHIP DEAL get yourself a pad here in South Africa. You haven't even experienced summer yet...Best still to come. Wait for Cape Town! Love the vote for honorary South African.

Welcome to the spirit of South Africa Tim!!!! This is who we are and this is the meaning of the sign "Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie". Translated it means "They don't know what we know". And for me that means, they don't know what it means to be South African.

[@johanweakley2658]

Rugby is escapism. It takes us away from the daily grind and put us in a different space for a short while. Within this context, Tim's channel is the best around. Love this guy. Always respectful, so informative, easy to make friends with. It is a pleasure and an honor to have you here, you have made thousands of followers in SA. As far as the game is concerned, the big calls tonight went against Ireland. They could just as well have won. The lesson for us is to shut our yaps on the day that the tight calls go against us. The Irish are just such contenders, the second test is going to be a monster!

Ireland were pulling huge moves in the scrum! Porter was coiling back, forcing Malherbe to over extend, i.e. he was denying the hit. Ref should have blown him for pulling down the scrum imo! Great to watch you enjoying the fruits of South Africa! If only we can sort out the political side, the country would blossom. Almost 20:1 Rand/Pound ratio - great value for money for tourists!

Because your channel is neutral, objective and fair it is popular in SA. The crowd at Loftus can be very intimidating but they are also the most rugby informed crowd.
