I’m so hear for this kinda content. There are so many opinions about this weekend’s game, it’s nice to have some sort of rugby content that isn’t offering opinions. Still rugby content, but it’s calm lol

[@HeeniKeke]

Agree…and from what I’ve read there is no malice between fans. It’s just pure respect for each other. Happy to share these historic moments with all

[@Mad_Intellect]

Ox is such a unit. His low center of gravity is also perfect for scrummaging.

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

He's only 5'8" but he's stocky as hell. Very good prop👍

[@SignificantWines]

I enjoyed the scene with nearly everyone pushing and shoving at the end of the game and in the background was Ox calmly and respectfully shaking the Refs hand ;)) such strong decent looking character.

[@teddocherty9968]

"This year's Rugby World Cup Final will take place on Saturday between the rampant All Blacks and their traditional rivals, the Springboks. The All Blacks stormed into yet another final with a try-fest as their star winger, and tournament-leading try scorer, ran in a hat trick of tries against their hapless opposition. The Springboks, however, narrowly scraped through their rain-drenched semi-final, with a lone try ultimately deciding the result. Unconvincing at times throughout the tournament, the Springboks face a mighty challenge in trying to stop their much-favoured opponents this weekend." PS reading this you might think that they were talking about the RWC this year. This is about the 1995 Rugby World Cup... Bizarre how history can repeat itself so accurately.

This time the ABs won’t be food poisoned and SA team in 95 was much better than this current squad.

[@bamcartley]

And they are missing their star player.. Matt Damon

[@sollypike5453]

Leaving André Esterhuizen out of the final would be madness. Boks need some fresh legs if they want to stand a chance of beating New Zealand. The whole world is questioning weather the Boks have got enough left in the tank to perform against the All Blacks. They need to bring in at least two to three fresh players. Yes the game against England was wet and slippery. But you could see the fatigue in some of those players. Fresh blood is needed to break down the All Blacks

[@tshepomogotsi]

Nah... Saru released a video thanking players outside of last week's 23, a clear indication that they might retain the same squad like they did in Japan. Andre is also on the thank you vid too...

[@SpartanHighKing14]

Our chance of victory will be if we introduce some fresh legs. The Boks have had a hectic world cup in comparison to the All Blacks. Guys like Esterhuizen, Moodie, Jean Kleyn and Jasper Wiese need to be given a shot. Vermeulen and Kolisi both looked extremely fatigued in the last game. Wouldn't be a bad idea of bringint Etzebeth in off the bench, and instead starting Jean Kleyn at 4 and RG Snyman at 5.

When no one likes you, you play 4 in the top 10 including no1 and 2, in the quarters and semis the entire stadium is against you, one of you has his life and his family's threatened and after you win the semi final one of yours is being accused of being a racist and yet you keep calm and continue with the business. You have only showed great sportsmanship and an honest application of yourselves in this tournament, are respectful and humble in defeat. You have represented South Africa in the most amazing way, thank you Springboks. This weekend is an opportunity only you can make something of, a 4th title in 8 WC tournaments, a back to back title, Siya becoming the greatest captain and you the greatest team. All the best, we love you boys. Nkosi Sikelela iAfrika
