ADVICE FOR NEWBIES AT LOFTUS

I get some advice before my first taste of a Springbok matchday. What should foreign visitors in SA know.

[@JordanBuhrsRugby]

Thanks for having me Tim 👊🏼 come on Bokke 🔥

[@user-ub4cx1ec4e]

Nice collab guys!

[@MosesMatsepane]

Regarding the languages in our anthem, in the first verse, the first two lines are Xhosa, and followed by two lines of Zulu.The second verse is in Sotho.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Thanks Jordan. I've just subbed to your channel. GO BOKKE!! 🇿🇦🏉🥇

Tim. Hats off for learning the National Anthem. It’s a tough one.

Loftus is where I saw my first real rugby match as a kid. Bill Beaumont’s Lions against Northern Transvaal. An experience I’ll never forget. Thanks for making these videos!

[@southernafricanboy4148]

Same here this year Sharks Vs Bulls was my first professional rugby game I've watched

Tim, you have definitely become part of the South African community. We love your videos and your content. Keep up the great work. Enjoy your stay. Safe travels.

Can see its winter in SA...They have to wear trousers. The day has arrived, fantastic! Asked the missus for a day's leave, she signed off on Thursday and I am watching NZ/Eng for breakfast. Main course served at 5PM.

The first two lines of the national anthem is isiXhosa, the second two lines is isiZulu. Then seSotho, then Afrikaans, then English.

[@Jamesjudes]

Tim.. looks like you living the dream. Such a great ambassador of the sport 👏

[@johnwilkinson3436]

Welcome Tim! Biltong and the Boks. Can’t get any better. Thanks for coming over. Special country this. We live for our rugby. Enjoy that Maritzburg Affies game as well. Schoolboy rugby very very special.

[@riri1718]

CONGRATULATIONS to England for that massive showing in Dunedin 🎉

[@andrewharris1837]

Great to see such mutual respect esp for the Boks on their turf😊

Hello from Nelspruit, Tim. Hearing you sing our beloved Nationsl Anthem was a Moist Moment for me. Your betrothed, Blessing xxx❤ P.S. My Father is willing to up the dowry to 3 goats

[@truthandjustice6838]

Nelspruit is my spiritual home (born there), moved to Pretoria in 1980. We shall see if Pretoria can get close to Nelspruit singing an anthem...

[@jbarrett2299]

We definitely WANT Zombie played. I think that may be SA mind games lol. They know it will get our lads fired up. Great video Tim. Good luck Ireland and thank you SA for all the passion. It’s amazing 🇮🇪☘️

[@thedarkprinceza]

Crazy collab, Tim and Jordan, just needed twocentsrugby and my Rugby Trinity would be complete. Awesome video Tim, hope you are enjoying SA. Fan from Eastern Cape, Gqeberha (no matches in my province 😢) Edit: National anthem for Tim - 1st verse = isiZulu/isiXhosa - 2nd = SeSotho - 3rd = Afrikaans 4th is obvious. Minus 1 point for you Jordan 😅

[@jordanbuhrs]

Thank you for the kind words 👊🏼

[@bradleypenrith]

There is no rugby in the Eastern Cape because the rugby head of our province called the National body head racist.

[@robcrocker348]

Good morning mate, have a spectacular day may it be one of your best experiences ever

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Awesome video, thanks Tim. Loftus rocks today... GO BOKKE! 🇿🇦🏉🥇

[@LittleBigMediaCo]

I can't wait for your match atmosphere and crowd reaction videos. Every broadcaster and other online content creators seem to focus so much on match and player analysis, but miss the atmosphere of being there. At the RWC, your content was the only way to get a feel for the match vibe at the stadium.

[@faithfulprophet4858]

“The springbok team is South Africa”. Well spoken true words.❤🎉

[@avrilgardiner9111]

Morning,Tim. You have turned me into an England fan, the main reason being that you don't have a condescending attitude, apart from the fact that I cannot swallow "Sir" Kirwan's arrogance. He is doing AB rugby tremendous harm. I cannot believe that I'm extremely disappointed that England lost to them today! I'm not sure whether you realise how much good you are doing for English rugby. Amazing, and I really appreciate that you are a passionate English fan. Enjoy the rest of your visit. I'm watching the Bokke game at the Helderberg Rugby Club in the Strand today, 50 km from Cape Town. This is also where Willie le Roux spent a fair amount of his time as a young boy. His dad (called Konka) also played for Helderberg. It seems to be the case that community based club rugby, in the English mould, is making a serious comeback in SA. It used to be extremely strong in the pre-professional years (pre-1995). Helderberg is playing a league match against Brackenfell, a strong club side approx 20 km from CT.

[@dumisaralane]

Just landed 🛬 Heading to Loftus. Super excited 😎🙌🏾

Am boning up on the words to Mambo Number 5. What an atmosphere starter! Love the old school classics being blasted out every 3 minutes. Who needs 'Bread of Heaven' and Welsh Chioirs when you can have Barbie Girl?

Tim sings the national anthem better than most springbok supporters.

[@pietbliksem]

Tim, if you're a whiskey drinker try the Klipdrift with soda instead of the ubiquitous coke. It is quite acceptable and actually the preferred old fashioned way. That way its actually very pleasant and not such an assault on the body.

Excellent collab guys!

Best rugby commentator, more passionate than Gerhardt Viviers... even about the Springboks. What a find, may the eggchaser rapidly go to 1m subscribers.. This guy is awesome and understands his rugby on a different level.

[@frederickmurray5766]

If your neighbour is dressed in a shorts, a tight Springbok jersey, socks and ankle high velskoens, don't look up into his eyes. They can smell fear. If a fight breaks out, avoid the women - they're absolutely terrifying.

[@gavinberry1796]

Just to comment on the anthem and its language: The lyrics employ the five most populous of South Africa's eleven official languages - isiXhosa (first stanza, first two lines), isiZulu (first stanza, last two lines), seSotho (second stanza), Afrikaans (third stanza) and English (final stanza). The other official languages are close enough to one of the languages in the anthem that ALL can identify with it.
