the tickets have been sold out for a good two months... bok rugby really needs no help selling out

[@Sineadmcd]

ITS A JOKE.. Why are you all in irish content again!!

[@fomofud9479]

​@Sineadmcd are we not allowed?

[@shaankeegan4555]

Clearly none of you have ever been to an SA game in SA. It's our banter, we are a melting pot of cultures and rugby has been our biggest unifier since 95, it's a culture of it's own, it's an experience one cannot understand unless you are a Saffer.

[@marklynch3277]

Judging by the comments on this video, Saffers have no banter whatsoever. The Irish lads are clearly joking and having a laugh in the video.

[@fomofud9479]

​@@marklynch3277it's just not that funny mate

I heard 30 minutes. 😊

[@Sineadmcd]

Would you calm down.. it’s a bloody joke

[@Baz502]

​@Sineadmcd they're not joking, I know Irish humour and this isn't joking. They're being dead serious

[@fomofud9479]

​@Sineadmcd maybe you should take a look in the mirror, take a deep breath, count to ten, and calm down

[@aidanmasterson50]

You were obviously asleep. They littered said ‘Pay per Views’ seconds after selling tickets. 😂😂

[@mjribes]

​@@aidanmasterson50Pay per view isn't really a thing in SA. You either have SuperSport or you'll visit a mate with SuperSport

[@Sineadmcd]

It’s a joke . Get off the irish page and learn what a joke is

[@kurukoei]

@@Sineadmcd looks like the youtube police have arrived eh? Monitoring comments and all .... saying the same thing over and over 🤣

[@Sineadmcd]

@@kurukoei Im left with no other choice then to dish out multiple comments to multiple people who can’t pick up on social cues or understand sarcasm.. im actually baffled as to how so many of you took it seriously and even more baffled but not surprised that 100% of comments except for mine were saffas.. why don’t you divert your energy to the boks content .. I have genuinely seen you lot in irish content Nearly every single day and not just rugby .. it’s absolutely pathetic

[@dionventer5623]

Tickets were sold out long ago.

[@Sineadmcd]

They know 😂😂 ITS A JOKE

[@user-rn9co7jc4t]

Wow Ger’s on holiday How convenient?? great timing as well

[@geraniqueabrahams2383]

Tickets were sold out way before that add was made. South Africans love their rugby and and love their world cup winning springboks. So whenever the springboks are in town tickets fly from the shelves.

[@mahlanguism]

He’s in your heads

[@anelasibhoko467]

Tickets sold out in minutes for both games. Get your facts straight! And yes, they do care more than Ireland that's why they've won back-to-back World Cups and a Lions series. If you cared, you could just get past a WC quarter final.

[@Sineadmcd]

THEY KNOW😂😂 OH MY GOD. Why can’t any of you take a joke or go one day without having your head stuck in irish content

[@fomofud9479]

​@@Sineadmcdwhy does it upset you so much that Saffas read Irish content? We live and breath for rugby content, be it bad like Off the Ball or good like Eggchasers. You have to be a Saffa to understand. It's not your fault.

[@Sineadmcd]

@@fomofud9479 no it’s annoying that you are constantly in it.:: the topic could be about a team jersey and you morons are leaving cup emojies are slagging something off.. that’s not reading. It’s being insufferable

[@viwembelekane4900]

Ireland have no idea what boks have planned for them.

[@The_optimistic_fool]

Already making excuses.. sad comments, sad for the game at large. You are supposed to create interest that's the narrative. That's your bread and butter, and you can't even do that. Clearly, it's not only your team that's short of quality players due to injury but your pundits as well. Clearly failed in your objective. 😮

[@angeloagrela6823]

Tickets were sold out within hours of going on sale, and is free to air. It’s a hype video

[@Sineadmcd]

THEY KNOW. ITS A JOKE 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@fomofud9479]

​@@SineadmcdTHESE ARE REALLY BAD JOKES ..... JUST SAYIN

[@quintonvanniekerk4056]

HAHAHA was looking for tickets late mid-May and they were out

[@DaisyDoo318]

what you saying is Ireland are not actually interested in winning this test. why bother going then,. I love the Irish you you lot are a different breed of Irish.

[@PvC63-Jan]

WOW but you can cry!!!

[@peterbotha7098]

Hehe no need to try to sell tix if you’re world champs😂 No ppv in SA either… Just a reminder of why you’re gonna get pummelled into a fine powder😂🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆🇿🇦

[@MrCian47]

Yeah because none of you could afford it.

[@fomofud9479]

​@@MrCian47you're probably right, the country is riddled with crime, we have no electricity and the Rand is 24 to one pound but at least we win when it counts .... just sayin😅

[@thomascoughlan3316]

It is true. It's the first time they've beaten Ireland in a long time at their first sport, Ireland's 4th or 5th in terms of playing numbers. Of course they care more. Ireland should never have a chance against SA

[@peterbotha7098]

“End of a grooming season”…. And the excuses already start coming😂😂😂 #chokers

[@zielkelabuschagne756]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Comedy club!!

[@luanduplessis5098]

When the boks was ranked 7th in the world the tickets were still sold out for matches in SA 😂😂😂

[@homonaledi640]

Fact

[@denershan]

The tickets were sold out in minutes, long before the promo vid was made. South Africans are passionate about the Springboks, so there's no help needed to sell tickets. The promo vid is to get the crowd pumped up. We want revenge because Ireland are the only team that beat the Springboks in the world cup.

[@saiyandemonisher]

90% OF TICKETS WERE SOLD EVEN BEFORE IT BECAME AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. YOU HONESTLY THINK WE NEED SOME SOCIAL MEDIA WHAT WHAT TO TRY SELL TICKETS ... COME ON!!!! ANOTHER LITTLE BIT OF IRISH ARROGANCE RIGHT THERE

[@kerrylass2]

No need to shout..lol

[@fomofud9479]

​@@Sineadmcdoh Sinead, get over it. These are not jokes, they're snide comments created out of bitterness. You can call it whatever you want and we'll call it what it is.

[@Sineadmcd]

The amount of saffas who can’t understand that the ticket comment was a joke is actually concerning

[@MrCian47]

They haven’t got much mental capacity.

[@fomofud9479]

The amount of Irish who thought they'd win the '24 RWC is actually more concerning

Well done, you can count. 4 is also the sum of your brain cell count

[@fomofud9479]

Lol, some real bitterness from a portion of the Irish media and fans😅. Thank god the Irish I know are really sound. Just a word of advice lads, the more bitterness you show, the easier it is to be trolled by those very Saffas you detest so much.

[@shanecollins3811]

What are South Africa resentful about? 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@zaahidumaduth]

Keep telling yourselves what you need to cope lads. Never ever made the semi finals of a World Cup in history but behave like you some historically successful nation in the sport. Calm down guys and throw shade to other nations in extra curricular activities you are historically good at i.e. Tap Dancing. We appreciate you guys in the World of Rugby but please never forget that you are only there to make up the numbers and we welcome you with open arms 🤞

[@MrCian47]

The World Cup isn’t the whole metric of success buddy. At least we’re not a country full of drug cheats who play the most negative, boring brand of rugby.

[@fomofud9479]

​@@MrCian47lol, your bitterness is sweet honey for us Saffas. Please do continue as it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside and for that ...... I thank you sir😅

[@Grynoujacobs]

1.3k views of which 99% is South Africa na that think you're the worst of the worst media has to offer. Yikes lads. So irrelevant that not a single Irish fan even bothers to come to your defence. Love the Irish, you lot however. No thanks.

Saffas build hype for all Bok games to boost the Bok team, not the opposition. You wouldn't understand as you are not on the same level. What a stupid podcast anyway.

[@u-w8t557]

South Africa & All Blacks are the BEST in the World 💪…. Always will be …they are the bench mark for all these Wannabes ….Ireland are delusional 😂

[@RugbyFacts]

It is easy to play us in europe and in ireland as you would obviously have more home support. This why this YT channel and their deluded fans claimed to be number 1. now that it is time to play in our home they downplaying everything. I doubt there will be any irish supporters in the crowd. probably a few hundreds. Their cowardly fans are to afraid to support their team in their droves as they do around europe and australasia. Just know that off the ball started this and ignited this toxic rivalry. Now they want to back out? sorry, you triggered the wrong supporting base lol

[@ChampAubrey]

Barf

[@mjribes]

Tickets sold out in 90 minutes Sorry guys, you're not as important as you think Also, the Boks have about 10 players unavailable. It's just they have much more depth than the Irish.

In the live stream of this video, look how James tracy called Rassie disrespectful for getting their players names wrong but when they cant even pronounce players names then its nothing? if you dont make an effort, we wont either. Tommy welsh (the guy in the middle) and Alan Quinlan (the who said SA is a bunch of babies) have been degrading the Springboks since we became world champions in 2019 and now they down playing all the comments and videos they made about the Springboks. Did you really think we wont defend our rugby team as you do for yours?

@@Sineadmcd I think if you go through all the springbok content from off the ball, RTE rugby and the irish independent....you will see.
