Good luck to my South African friends, and wishing both teams a healthy game. Greetings to all from Miami!

[@richieflood3923]

Miami. City of corruption.

[@thudeshreenaidoo3330]

Win or lose we love South African rugby ❤ Go bokke!!!! 🇿🇦 Good luck Ireland Welcome to SA!

[@EliJon378]

South Africa are an extremely smart rugby team, that is everyone, coaching, players, everyone. If they play boring unconventional rugby it's because they know it's what will get good results. The aim for any rugby team is to win. They don't go out there simply for entertainment. This is their jobs, they're paid to win, to perform in a way they know will get results. Same goes for any team. South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland and all teams have a game plan going into any game, and they play to win, regardless of what plan is required. People must grow up. With any job, you follow the rules to get results, and if you have to take a boring unconventional route you'll do it to get results. All teams do this. Rassie Erasmus is extremely astute, he knows what needs to be done.

[@eyeofrage7025]

I don't think I've watched the Boks and been bored, They are a settled team who know who they are and know how to fight out tough wins. Jezz their last 3 games in the world cup all by 1 point, edge-of-the-seat stuff.

[@SteveMandylifestyle]

Rassie, its my birthday on Sunday - couldn't wish for a better gift. Go Bokke! but also a soft spot for Ireland. Great team.

[@MarcellePotberg]

Rassie who ever U pick I am 100# behind the Boks good luck guys make us proud

[@mikemilligan7086]

This series is going to be true epic test match rugby. It's going to be hard uncompromising rugby. It's going to be a war of attrition, hence Rassies selections. Fine margins will win the games. The current 2 best sides in the world going head to head..... It doesn't getting bigger than this. Can't wait. Good luck to Ireland and welcome to SA. Go Bokke. 🍻

[@toscabrutus1781]

Goeie perskonferensie! Ek sien uit na die wedstryd! Groete uit LIma Peru!

[@jeremyreid9582]

I really appreciate the brave commentators (above and below) who are focused on teams playing ‘entertaining, exciting and running’ rugby. I will like to ask each and every one of these Rassie critics one simple question: “How many rugby world cups do you have in your trophy cabinet ?” 🤔 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

[@eyeofrage7025]

Rassie is one of the few innovators we have in Rugby, Anyone being critical is doing so out of coping or ignorance. And we only have 3 cups in the cabinet

[@paulnash5500]

The Irish dont care about number one. They just want to win a test series in SA. Respect to SA world champs number 1. Little Ireland beating SA in SA is what matters nothing else. We love all the mind games, and it makes it more interesting. 🎉

[@ritzemaritzema-xo4dz]

little irealnd with the big money buying players and never won a WC

[@JohnTerblanche-l1r]

​@@ritzemaritzema-xo4dzlast year Boks made 6mil deficit Munster club 10mil for example so SA are also pretty fortunate money wise. I mean Wales lost so many clubs too. SA rugby at least has more access to talent.

[@Vetkoek-j5r]

I will never doubt Jessie again after the wc performances,but i would love to see Am back in the jersey his rugby iq is unmatched..

[@matthewwarman4693]

my exact thoughts

[@adrianleonard6449]

Cant beat experience when it comes to clutch matches which this one obviously is going by selection list! My only concern is :) Is the old lion still hungry? Their was alot to feast on in south african rugby of late! Stay thirsty my friend! Go my beloved bokke GO!!!!!

[@jeanm27]

Irish-level match ready just shows how serious Rassie takes the coming match.

[@Carlo4rm1doorblock]

No disrespect to Jessie Kriel , he has been outstanding and deserves to be on the starting line up, but I just hope Lukhanyo Am gets his match fitness & form back… Am has the ability to create magic out of nothing

[@rupertengland]

I sure miss the AMagic

[@thegulagarchipelago5921]

Where can I get a Jersey like that🙏🙏🙏

[@sizla8837]

😅😅😅 "I would rather take a world cup......hmmmm 2 world cups" 04:36

[@zeezan231]

Where can I get the jersey?❤

[@petrusklopper5549]

Go Ireland show the boks who are the best team in the world.

[@wentworthpowrie4497]

Guys answered well to kak questions

[@flinfaraday1821]

Who's that guy asking all the dumbass questions? xD

[@AC-hu3xk]

Stupid guy

[@mvubu6823]

Old PERCY? He's relentless.

[@infoBot7Vidhrm]

I didn't hear "that guy" asking a dumb question. I think Eben act a bit like a "d" for not understanding what the man tried to ask. So all of a sudden he doesn't understand Afrikaans anymore? What a shame.

[@JohnTerblanche-l1r]

​@@infoBot7Vidhrmbruh we're force fed to speak 'britian' just like Irish struggle with Gaelish, also Afrikaans has lots of nuance and big vocab 90s kids dont know it so good cause of being forced to be dualingo from young age.

[@hlangaful]

​@infoBot7Vidhrm nah mate...he asked some dumb questions. To a point that you even knew exactly who he was talking

[@KJTmethod]

This team is gonna fok up Ireland 👊👊👊

[@matsvineyard7564]

Funny how the questioners try to put words in his mouth.

[@tobyhart]

Raspy Erasmus

[@mariannugent3179]

He has a head cold and a good shave would not go astray on him.

[@SiphoMhlahlo]

Most of these players won't make it in 2027 , they are very old,therefore we need to blood new players if we want to be competitive in the next WC

[@AC-hu3xk]

Seriously man one Journalist is stupid to ask silly 😅 Questions

[@mariuspienaar7787]

Hys in your head, in your hea-a-a-d.. Ra-a-sie Ra-a-sie

[@jakedavidsons]

Can't believe Malcom Marx is on the bench.

[@melo2942]

He acts better as an impact player for the springboks

[@Rabinfunk]

You think Bongi should be?

[@ndumisodatini3373]

That means you're not familiar with Boks setup and bomb squad.

[@robinmoreau2029]

i can

[@gdd2959]

Die lig is n bietjie skerp 😅 soos by die tandarts

[@ritzemaritzema-xo4dz]

comparing number of people to success such a joke so because india have a billion people and SA lost in cricket final because we only have 60 million people so said and they have a billion people...lol. so india did not deserve to beat SA lol...

[@paulmcmenamin205]

We talk rugby here, chilli, not cricket. But SA deserved to lose the cricket. They are a bunch of knee benders.
