Great game. Cheers from NZ.

[@Samizouza]

Dutch definitely improving in the comp

[@mybadgaming6786]

what a game!!

[@sachinbangaru737]

Love the commentary

[@Petem21]

That Dutch scrum looks brutal!

[@Attie_36]

What do South Africa and Netherlands have in common? Dutch boys!

[@winco68]

Maybe Siya Kolisi, Lukhanyo Am and Makazole Mapimpi would beg to differ!

[@Attie_36]

@@winco68 I am pretty sure I didn’t say ALL South Africans. And do you really believe that none of the Springboks throughout history was from Dutch descent?

[@winco68]

@@Attie_36 I’m pretty sure many probably a majority even were of Dutch descent but there’s been a lot of mixing since the 18th century. Many Afrikaners have German, French even British blood flowing through their veins and Afrikaners have embraced in more recent times peoples from Portugal and even Lebanon for example. The connection with the Netherlands is now weakened and in fact some Afrikaners take offence at being called a ‘Dutchman’ especially if it’s a Rooinek saying it! 🤣

Then why does the Netherlands suck?

[@Quay073]

@@Bolognabeef because absolutely nobody here plays the game. if more dutch men would play the game - the biggest people on earth - we'd play better

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

If you aint Dutch, you aint much. From Australia.

Olanda squadra tosta da affrontare

[@Bolognabeef]

Per quelli in tier 2 si, non per l'Italia

[@BelovedChatter]

I played in a game against the Germany B side once. Biggest humans I’ve ever seen.

[@exeterjedi6730]

Maybe surprisingly close.

[@geraseven731]

Why Netherlands is using red?

[@kuszanz6553]

Are you colorblind?

[@markjones1500]

Definitely orange

[@Samizouza]

That's more like really dark orange since their nickname is "The Oranges"

[@geraseven731]

​@@kuszanz6553 Orange Blind maybe, but that definitely red.

[@BTL6666]

Bloody red Sicilian orange ....still an orange though :))))

[@alexjamesmariotti1504]

Adesso ragazzi complimenti all olanda ...ma Georgia Romania e portogallo sn una categoria in più dopo in Sudafrica tanti cognomi bianchi erano inglesi più che boeri ecco perché il Sudafrica è a quei livelli...

[@jakeclough8090]

What you on about 😭 I am telling you right now most South African names are Dutch, the British just brought the game to South Africa and it became popular there but most of the surnames are Dutch

[@winco68]

@@jakeclough8090 Kolisi, Mapimpi, Mbonambi, Nyakane, Dweba, Nche and Am are South African names and they’re neither Dutch or English. The sport encompasses the entire nation now Afrikaners of Dutch descent are merely a part of it.

[@jakeclough8090]

@@winco68 yeah thanks for pointing out the obvious mate. He said the white South African surnames are British and I meant the white surnames are Dutch obviously not lots of the black surnames, and yeah obviously the sport is for the whole country now

[@winco68]

@@jakeclough8090 Fair does I didn’t translate or read the original comment. Having said that you’ll be surprised at how many white surnames in SA have absolutely no connection to the Netherlands. British, French, German and Portuguese influence is significant.

can kick better than nz

[@blackskull59]

Germany after 2019 📉 bad team 😭

[@Ethan-sd1gy]

Germany did really well this game, could see a few upsets next season
