[@briansibs8066]

The final pass to Mapimpi was a selfless one. That gentleman could have easily got a try however chose to give the glory to someone else to shine. This is a classic example of good leadership ❤️❤️.

[@andre51286]

Am was involved in both tries for us to win. He's my favourite player

[@fouriejooste9484]

The best I heard some one describe that pass is that Am turned a 95% chance of scoring a try himself into a 99% chance for Mapimpi.

[@mitchellhudson93]

I think that pass just goes to show how the current Springbok team work in such great unison with each other

Personally, my vote goes to Cheslin Kolbe in sealing the fate of World Cup 2019. This guy is 5ft7. Just stop the clip at 4m37. He has the entire England back line gunning for him, in front of him. That turn of pace to my reckoning is unlike anyone before or since. It takes balls. I remember watching it as it happened. Unforgettable.

[@skollittie]

Kolbe is one of a kind.......simply magic!

[@hopeaguero7460]

I totally agree with you bro kolbe for me too.

[@SkitZGArmy]

Honestly I live in south africa you should watch more of Bryan Hababa I watched him live a few times in the stormers. I want to find the clips where he did what he did in his prime but not much online about him unfortunately. The guy was guaranteed to get at least 5 to 6 tries every game it was insane. Very small and when it comes to getting the ball he was really on it with that ontop of kicking and getting insane tries. He also inspired Cheslin alot to be what kinda player he is today. Overall absolute champions. Ever since the whole apartheid in South Africa with Nelson mandela and winning the rugby world cup in 1995. I was good friends with Francois Pienaar and his sons back in the day. That guy with Mandela had an unstoppable orb bond of commitment that lead to that during extreme desperate times. What comes around goes around again and again I believe they will win this one once again. The bokka have always been troopers within rugby and surprisingly have kept it and has only evolved.
