"Marie Libbok" in the chapter titles? LOL!
Why is ultimate written in capital letters?
OK, i haven’t been a rugby fan before. I was a soccer guy all my life and I l stopped watching sports altogether about 10 years ago. But the Springboks in the past two years have been amazing and I’ve started following rugby more. Never played rugby at school or anywhere, but this podcast has really helped me understand the game, its history and where it’s going.
But Gents, we need episodes faster after the Bok games! Waiting so long is tough. Please, drop an episode at least 2 days after the game, latest! Thanks for all the great work.
Just love the rugby brain of JDV, learn so much from listening to these guys.
We have so many amazing rugby brains in South Africa
Edwill Van Der Merwe is an awesome player. I am so keen to see more of him in the Boks jersey.
who is Marie liebok lol
Shimmy is actually too funny 🤣
Where is the energy boys? This was a bit of a yawn! Are you guys detoxing???? 🥛🥤
I feel like there are not enough conversations on how good Elrigh Louw is.
Our line outs need work
Boks need to have a backup for Etzabeth, Du Toit, Marx and De Allende. These guys are the fulcrum of the team from a physicality perspective. Currently Erasmus has no viable alternative for these guys(Esterhuizen is a great 12 but never gets selected) Tonyball will not be the reason the Boks beat England. It will be their physicality. The Bok physicality is key and some of the subs don't bring it(lookign at you Moerat, Am etc)
9. Jaden Hendrikse
10. Sacha
11. Cheslin
12. Wilemse
13. Moodie
14. Fassi
15. Jordan Hendrikse
It's not necessarily a backline that would work together but imagine the talent in the pitch.
42:50 big goal going forward is transition from TB attack to JN ( JF) defence because top teams will expose us. ???Needs to be seamless if that’s possible. I have my doubts. From fast attack running off 9 10 and 12 now. To reset and do blitz defence ??? Top show boys. Like Shimi and JDV bromance 😂
Percy kicked from 15. Butch James was the 10
The bromance between Jean and Shimmy 😂😂😂
I reckon someone that is up for a starting position is Elrich Louw.
No.8 spot was never a contentious spot Shimmy, it was always Wiese.😉 .
Like to see even more depth on the Nov tour, EvdM, Hooker , Masuku to name a few that deserve a shout.
Bok depth is such a great ‘problem’ to have… they can tailor their selection each and every time to counter the opposition.
So France are wasting NZ's time in 2025 by sending a second rate squad.
Southern Hemisphere rugby should just cancel incoming French tours. They're not going to sell out stadiums or bring big TV audiences so they do nothing for the finances of the local union or it's brand value. We should opt out of playing them on the end of season Northern Hemisphere tours too. Let them play their domestic rugby and we'll see them at RWC's.
Great show gents, please keep going, looking forward to this every week,
Deon Fourie is a star🇿🇦🇿🇦did fantastic in the world cup final. Wishing him a speedy recovery Hope to see him in the green and gold again💯🇿🇦🇿🇦
Shimmy, I’m very proud to see you become one of the best rugby commentators, South Africans of the rainbow nation have risen to levels in “ the pursuit of perfect” awesome. 😎
Are all the rugby players alcoholics?
Why so few drop goals nowadays in test matches? Remember Jannie de Beer v England.
Superb pgm. Can’t wait for the series over autumn internationals. Such great chemistry between all the presenters. Wonderful to watch.
Jean!! Easily one of the greatest centres ever. Swashbuckling, G-Wagon of centres!! For ever salute you my leader!!

Would love to the ‘the Fassi and Furious” on here for a small interview
We tend to forget Damien Willemse. The lad is absolutely brilliant, brilliant. Underrated at time but he is the teams Rolce Royce. He's preseason training in Switzerland!!! Geez
You guys are forgetting Damian Willemse as captain. He has the charisma and personality.
Love this channel; thank you!!!@
