This interview is more evidence that Rugby is a hooligan’s game played by gentlemen. Look at these brothers chatting ball and showing the brotherhood that binds rugby men. Legends. Love from SA

[@HamishBanish]

Having met Giteau a bunch of times he is pretty different in private life. 'Legend' is not a description of Giteau that comes to mind. Snooty and belittling is more like. If you cannot see this in his posture and gestures you need to look harder

[@YOYOTh1s]

One of my favourite Faf moments is that tackle on Nathan Hughes. Hughes broke of the back of the scrum and Faf grabbed him by the leg and drove him 6m back! Legendary!

[@anwarfaardiel5214]

Propper Yorkie with blonde hair but a hart as big as a house that won't back down for anyone. .

[@truthandjustice6838]

Big fan of Faf, but those were two of my favourite Aussies too. Lovely chat thanks guys.

[@powerhavengaming2854]

What a humble guy. I love Faf. I love the BOKKE!

[@at7512]

World class interview gents 👌🏽

[@lesterpoole5940]

Faf lionheart de Klerk. Legend Bok scrumhalf. Love his spirit and passion for the game.

[@SMacCuUladh]

I just don't think Fap is good enough to beat Ireland

[@victordastile5204]

​@@SMacCuUladh2x RWC winner! Your irish team are sh** where it matters most. QFs bottlers continued😂😂😂

[@gertygordon33]

Yes we are so proud of him. Faf is our pride and joy here in SA. We love and appreciate him and all his team mates. S A players know how to endure. Rassie is magic,but so are oyr Bokke. We will celebrate them forever.

[@ShaiHulud300]

Great watch! Love Gits and Genia's banter

[@adamvanderriet9669]

Always great to see legends of the game turn out to be legends in regular life too 🍻🤘

[@HamishBanish]

I've met Giteau a bunch of times and he is pretty different in private life. 'Legend' is not a description of Giteau that comes to mind. Snooty and belittling is more like. If you cannot see this in his posture and gestures you need to look harder

[@derekfelton8287]

Brilliant chat legends. Very intellectual, Wonderful to hear this honest and interesting stuff ))

[@kylepienaar3193]

That's 2 time world cup winner now ❤️

[@jethrohealy3277]

I’m always amazed by how good Faf’s English vocabulary is. I’m an English speaking South African from the same area (Nelspruit) in South Africa which is primarily Afrikaans speaking but he speaks English so well.

[@stevenburrow8804]

That was such a chilled interview. Everyone was so well behaved ;) Really interesting one

[@davidpeters3857]

Excellent content,Inspirational guest

[@walterstevens8676]

I remember Matt Giteau when he was a relatively young player and he answered questions reluctantly. Now hes so confident snd articulate!

[@Barastiboy582]

Great chat.

[@jayduplessis7698]

Great conversation, so insightful. Loved that.

[@lenbignell]

Love these two Aussies. They are top boys and always go each other.

[@YasminePetrus]

Why do I like this man❤

[@duncanclews9424]

incredible discussion

[@clintonkeeler4801]

Three ledges of the game shedding lots of knowledge.

[@NdwezaVinjwa]

Faf awesome❤

[@konradstark3110]

Enjoyed it, well done guys!

[@nohatejustlove19]

His hair is so pretty lol

[@noctali8049]

Don't know why I am so surprised at how articulate Faf is 😅

[@Nick-18]

Even though we are afrikaans we get taught English as a 2nd language at school. We also have very good schools.

[@noctali8049]

Ek is self afrikaans. Tog spreek ek slegs engels by die werk, en is altyd baie sterk in my 2de en 3de tale. Mens sien dit min. In my ervaring, het baie afrikaans sprekendes goeie begrip van engels, maar min het die vermoë om kompleks sinne van natuur by mekaar te sit. En ek het reg oor die land al gewoon. Ek is beïndruk met sy vermoë, want dit is besonders en nie algemeen nie.

[@vankuipland]

All l can say is “Ja “ Faf jij is bliksems goed.

[@NtshatshaZizipho]

Faf ❤🎉

[@petrusbuys9801]

You don't have to be big; you only need a "varkhart"

[@claytontopkin7426]

Mooi gesê Petrus!

[@Pygapascoe160]

Faffs awesome!

[@KallousKiwi]

@faf and the team in Japan. Struggling to find milk vs other dairy products? In Japan look at the top of the milk carton. Anything with a little arc shape cut in the top is milk. Run your finger across the top of the carton and it’s flat (no wee cut out) then it is not milk and likely a dairy product or substitute. You can Google if my explanations not clear (or are curious). It’s for visually challenged people.

[@MartinViljoen]

Now u the best scrumhalf in the world my bra❣

[@Readbetweenthelines1]

Good mates those guys

[@julianalderson3938]

Yer ignore the media. Even tho im on it. Wont help. Team coach family. Thats all matters

[@francoiswilliams]

Lekker 😆

[@Sindisile]

Will Genia

[@julianalderson3938]

The smaller guys keep goin when the goins shit. Also add pace n skill. Thanks

[@nauset]

Can you listen to this anywhere?

[@RugbyPass]

We're working on it!

[@simonjames772]

genia gets very cut idk why these two are mates mates

[@KallousKiwi]

Basashi (horse sashimi) is a very high end delicacy. In western culture we don’t look at a horse as a source of meat for human, but quite readily send horses at the end of their careers to the pet food factory. Whale/dolphin there is a serious stigma around globally due to declining populations and method of slaughter. But if they are abundant, or the population growth in an ecosystem is unsustainable then I don’t see any reason to not consume for meat.

[@julianalderson3938]

Faf just busy n yer can tackle.

[@Operatoronthemove]

Where is everybody's shoes? 😂

[@coatknight]

In far eastern countries you leave your shoes by the door. Keeps the interior very clean.

[@chris5240]

I think many others also do it too, but more common in some eastern countries, yes.

[@fasting14_]

Called respect.

[@thope737]

Doesn’t sound South African

[@Alias-gy3tz]

Yes, he does.

[@aniedav7075]

He sounds VERY South African! We have 11 national languages .... so this is one of our English accents

[@MoerseBokbaas1]

Being playing in england for the last couple of years. Francois is a proper boer .proper afrikaner maye

[@yvonnebohan6914]

Every time he says “ja”. Dead giveaway.

[@shrifamudondo1081]

He does if you listen carefully

[@joebranston738]

I love hearing what you boys have got to say! Tell us the truth.
