It's all about the HISTORY! JOHN ROBBIE on RUGBY League vs Union and Andy Farrell vs Joe Schmidt!

[@solvang1870]

Greetings from California - used to love listening to John Robbie on 702 when I still lived in Joburg in the 90’s! Love John’s insight into Rugby and games.

[@megafoonsport]

Ah, great to hear!

[@Camcolito]

These interviews are gold. Not just rugby but culture and history.

[@Jon-bk2yw]

@@Camcolito well said,love the way John Robbie tells the stories with his enthusiasm and expression

[@jimcorcoran5650]

1st I heard of your channel I just subscribed + liked John Robbie has good stories

[@megafoonsport]

Excellent! Welcome!

[@SeanLarkan]

Another fascinating ‘rugby’ discussion in every sense; what incredible powers of recollection John brings to these chats. Wonderful entertainment, thanks guys! Also a great entree to the Ireland v Aus game this weekend with the coaches’ backgrounds & friendship, but I’m sure, sharp rivalry as well.

[@megafoonsport]

John has an incredible memory! I love talking to him!

[@kirtap2601]

MV thank you for this wonderful interview. John Robbie is a superb raconteur. Ek onthou Tom von Vollenhoven Baie goed. In daardie dae het ons in Noodr Natal gewoon en my Pa was in Pretoria op sake en op Loftus toe die Britse Leeus teen Noord Transvaal gespeel het. Hy was baie opgewonde ooor die 19 jarige von Volllenhoven wat in die wedstryd gespeel het en het voorpesl dat hy ń Springbok sou wees. Soos JR gesé het , het von Vollenhoven in al vier toetse gespeel. Jare later was ek in New York op sake en ons prokereur het een aand versioning gemaak omdat hy ń funksie met ń ander klient moes by woon. Toe ek hoor dat dit Tony O’ Rielly was het ek gesé dat ek hom in 1955 gesien speel het. Toe hy dit oordrae het O’ Reilly vir my ń boodskappie gestuur dat “ it was nice of you to remember that great tour”. Verskoon asseblief my Afrikaans maar ek woon al 45 jare in Australie

[@megafoonsport]

😁 Your Afrikaans is fine and certainly much better than my English! What a joy to have these chats with John!

Great chat lads

[@megafoonsport]

Thank you for watching. Much appreciated!

[@patrickmccutcheon9361]

A great and tragic story which I was aware of but did not know all the details. I could listen to John Robbie all day.

[@megafoonsport]

Very sad indeed. What an amazing storyteller John is

[@CorneClaassen-ji2jg]

Hi MW. Going to be a very interesting interview.

[@Jon-bk2yw]

Thanks for sharing @megafoon well worth a listen.believe it or not in 1980 the springboks v lions 4 tests were shown here in New Zealand live free to air.John Robbie was a very fast running halfback who had very good passing game too.the soringboks had a brilliant halfback Divan Serfontein

[@megafoonsport]

Make sure you watch the other interviews with John! Thank you for watching

[@jimcorcoran5650]

Irish fan here, Like many people I love the International game especially all top ģames

[@stephenshort4281]

Loved this show as always. MW the State of Origin between the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons is huge in Ozz. Its rugby league and is often referred to as "Australian sport's greatest rivalry". And it really is something that attracts interest throughout Ozz. The Wallaby's have had several players of note switching codes. And then of course the best known player (up to now) switching codes has been Sonny William Williams. Enjoy the break. Love your work.

[@megafoonsport]

Thank you Stephen. Always good to hear from you, and or course to chat to John. I love these discussions with him!

[@johannblignaut1966]

Great stuff

[@tonygiff1859]

Elon Musk can you please come up with a robot that can download all of Mr john Robbie's Knowledge because i always feel schooled listening to him talk.

[@TheNoonanbread]

Gotta say MW fair play to you. When this first syarted i didnt think you do this well but you keep powering on. Well done!

[@megafoonsport]

South Africans never say die!

[@tilmanvondelft]

I propose a knees-up at John Robbie’s bar for Megafoon Sport subscribers!

Ja Tilman, you just have to fly in from Scotland!

[@TheNoonanbread]

I need to hear why john is now a bok supporter given he's played for ireland! Plenty of old heads in other countries but they still support their hoke country. Woukd be interesting to hear!

[@wot4922]

He's explained that in previous pods. He views himself as South African and a Bok supporter.

[@patrickyoung3503]

A really very interesting conversation on the rugby game , both league & union . John has the gift of the gab his memory is phoenomal but being an Irish man & not shouting for Ireland is a tad hard to take . Then again making a living in South Africa , you could make an excuse for it . I did not agree that the Irish team are or were arrogrant , or showed it in any way . We Irish always about for the underdog in sporting matters . In my opinion we give credit where credit is due . Having got that off my chest this interview was excellent viewing , top class

[@TheNoonanbread]

@@wot4922 I guess I'd like to hear him explain a bit more why he feels like that. Not come across it before

[@megafoonsport]

I think the first video in the series will explain things. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqqpfHmufMypmtEsi=1h8-VI23zukJJGeV

[@JohnRobbie-c8i]

Hi guys, Glad most are enjoying our chats. I was the biggest Ireland supporter ever and playing for them was a dream. However after living in and loving the new SA one day I was watching a test between the Boks and Ireland and realised I was up for the Boks. It was not an intellectual decision but an emotional one. I can add nothing more than that as it is the honest truth. Ireland remain my second favourite side and I am thrilled at the improvements since my days long ago.

[@RRYanSpencer]

Paar rugby liga feite om optelees MW: In 1995 net na Gavin Johnson in Wêreldbeker Bok span was, het sy broer Mark SA in ‘95 Liga wêreldbeker verteenwoordig. Buiten bekendes soos Tom van Vollenhoven, Wilf Rosenberg etc is daar baie ander SAs soos Green Vigo, Goolam Abed ens. wat onder ou bedeling nie vir SA kon speel, dus Liga roete gekies. En baie suksesvol in die UK. Die een moet jy check daar by Loftus, het Gary Botha nie plaaslik liga ook gespeel voor sy Bulbuiging?

[@megafoonsport]

@@RRYanSpencer Ek sal bietjie uitvind! John het juis gepraat oor Green Vigo in hierdie video.

[@RRYanSpencer]

Ek luister nou, hoor John nou by Vigo uitgekom.

[@JohnRobbie-c8i]

Hi Ryan, I loved reading and learning about Green Vigo. What a player he must have been! How many other Green Vigos, or for that matter, Cheslin Kolbes or Ox Nches, never got to play internationally for SA. Thanks for watching Ryan.

[@RRYanSpencer]

@ Hi John. Look up Goolam Abed, Vernon Peterson, David Barends etc. Find a paper written by Hendrik Snyders from Oct 2010 to start.

[@toscabrutus1781]

Baie intressant!
