The Blitzboks Effect: How the Springboks are crafting World Champions | The Report

[@canadiancontent352]

Their toughness and physical dedication is unmatched

[@greggalant7543]

South Africans love rugby, you look at school games like Greys vs Paarl gym, it's packed out, week in week out and it goes right across the country. Kids and parents really enjoy rugby. Every kid wants to play for the Boks, the number of talented kids is unreal. SA will be strong for years to come, the talent is too much, the coaching will determine how far we go

[@backstabbath1986]

The real secret sauce is the school rugby in South Africa

[@ot7302]

Yes !!!! I've been saying this for a while.

[@jeffreykgatitsoe627]

Our schools rugby is a cut above the rest, thus making it easier to feed players into Unions as well as some who can't make it into the Junior Boks and Seniors, rather choosing to relocate to countries like Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.

[@ashleybasson5664]

Thousands of schools playing rugby, producing tens of thousands of players, of which the creme of the crop 2000 per year make it to Craven Week. There is no conveyor belt producing rugby players like South Africa.

[@jeffreykgatitsoe627]

@@ashleybasson5664 you have said it all. These NH teams will keep getting players who don't make the cut in our franchise teams and the Boks.

Yeap. Been saying this for a while.

Rassie is the world’s best coach by a country mile.. no matter what World Rugby thinks😉

[@joedennehy386]

Razor has the same winning percentage as rassie, after only a year. And next year will have a better percentage

[@daveharris1800]

@ Razor won 10 of 14. Rassie won 11 from 13. 71% vs 85%.

Is knowing the meaning of Springboks jersey and commitment plus discipline and that’s mentality of respect to your duty.🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@lungabiyela9081]

You guys make it sound like we've got a constant conveyer belt where players regularly move from the Blitzboks to the Springboks. Just three Blitzboks have gone on to play regularly for the Springboks, while Specmagic had one cap.

[@merlin6140]

We were forced to play rugby from age 6-7 by fathers who were never good enough to become springboks. Hated it until high school, then one day you realise you are actually good at it. By the time you start liking rugby you’ve already been playing 5-6 years.

[@jacqloock]

The best wing pair in Bok history both spent years on the 7s circuit.

[@KizitoLugano]

Harry with the Kenyan passport on his wrist totally unnoticed done made my day

[@FloatLikeABee]

Dead wrong. You missed the most important thing. I'll say even its the only reason why we deliver such athletes - its our school rugby.

[@greenplasticgun]

This is interesting stuff. Wish the Blitzboks were winning a bit more these days though, but one feels like the sacrifice they make to the 15 man game (Losing the likes of Kolbe, Senatla, Kwagga, Kok, KLA, Davids, Nel and others, really does take it's toll on the team. A pity we can't have it both ways.

[@CharlieHickey-d3b]

[@canadiancontent352]

7s used to be seen as a pathway. No reason it can't be again. Kolbe, Kwagga, Isigro, keenan, Ardie, Caleb, countless Fijians. No reason why more can't do the same

[@traversharty]

Watching this after the Cape Town 7's 2024. 🇿🇦🎉

[@sabataking4427]

World rugby should release blitzboks games like the way they do to new Zealand games

[@johanstruwig3815]

huh?

[@sabataking4427]

@johanstruwig3815 you heard me

[@dalevanschalkwyk1305]

Varsity Cup is the real unsung Hero!

[@Tlhakxza]

The dominance starts from Primary School level...then the High School where Beasts come off age and then those Varsity Warriors...by the time these kids get to BOK LEVEL,it's no longer about them, it's now about SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 as a country, that's why you see them shed tears come the National Anthem time,those guys go to war for their beloved country, with that passion,it only makes sense that real success ensues.

[@RozWentworth]

Hoya Blitz Boks...Hoya AmabokBokke...Hoya South Africa🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

We have slipped a bit lately but now Snyman there we should get back to the top

[@Emjaygee1950]

Don't see any front fives playing sevens though that's where the boks can destroy opposition ?

[@tiniebergh5124]

Probably due to lack of speed and agility.

[@yannisleroux9942]

Funny New Zealand also used to do the same and were praised for it but not as much these days it seems

[@GoTrologics]

It all comes from school rugby 🤓😇 I remember it was a school tradition to play rugby for the school and the local municipal. We only becoming better and better trust me we got more new youngest coming in 🎉🎉🎉

[@Faust_ZA]

Rugby is all we have people dont understand that. We hate each other until rugby shows up.

[@evanrmick280687]

This is a 7's sale pitch, rather than a proper analysis of what makes South African rugby so good.😂

[@SouthAfricaMCtours]

Another pertinent point must also be ascribed to the physical diversity and genetic makeup of the people of South Africa. Big men of European decent and smaller quick men with their roots well established in Africa. Rugby is designed for everyman from the smallest to the tallest. SA has a great gene pool...

[@ZO150ZO]

not forgetting they missed 2 world cups - when they were banned

[@joedennehy386]

New Zealand has a far higher winning percentage in 15s and 7s. What are you talking about.

[@Edgycoo]

I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact they have 3x the rugby playing population of all other nations

[@andrasszabo1570]

Not according to the figures I've read. South Africa has the same amount of registered rugby players as France (~750 000), which is turn dwarved by England at 2,2-2,3 million.

[@Edgycoo]

@andrasszabo1570 its on wiki

[@alex.velasco]

Two swallows don't make a summer. Let's see if we, South Africa, can dominate as New Zealand have over the last three decades.

My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want.

Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967711528949 Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 20 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 60 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can.
