THE MORNING AFTER | SOUTH AFRICA vs NEW ZEALAND

I may not have much of a voice left, I may not have slept much, but I do have some reflections on the game in Cape Town yesterday.

Tourism South Africa owes you a fortune in free advertising Tim, South Africa thanks you for how much you have enjoyed our country, and thank you for seeing the good and not getting bogged down in any negativity. ❤

[cleanforsure]

What I appreciate about this channel is that Tim never uses vulgar language. I can watch this channel with my children and be at ease! Thank you so so much Tim!!

Kiwi here. I came away from that match content that the Springboks are just better at the moment. Extraordinary depth and as world number one and world champions they did what you'd expect such a team to do. Clawed their way back and found a way to win from behind on the scoreboard.
My ABs are close but not close enough and we just don't have that extra gear for the last 20 min at the moment

Tim...the Bokke has done more for our country than all our politicians combined....I think thats why we have this deep bond with the team...

[MondliNhlaka]

The ref was so quick at the breakdown, he stressed me. it" after 2 seconds 😢😢🥺🥺🥺 haibo!

[essenceofsa]

I don't know why anyone would be negative. Those were two proper test matches between two of the best teams in the world. It was tough, physical and relentless. I loved every minute

[WORS]

No matter what Tim posts, I will always be watching 🔥

[tobiebosman]

The fact that we kept NZ from scoring a try was also something that stood out for me. Opposite to that the boks scored twice. I can't remember the last time that happened. Boks made us proud

Make hay while the sun shines. This is our season in the sun. But Australian rugby teaches you that the good times dont last. And Argentinian rugby teaches you that the bad times dont last forever. As an ardent Springbok supporter, I admire the Springboks ability to find a way to win. Look at our cricketers. Great in between World Cups. But cannot win a World Cup.
All credit to the Springboks. They make us proud to be South Africans. In " The Mayor of Casterbridge", one of the beautiful quotes is " Happiness is but an occasional episode in a general drama of pain." The Springboks are that occasional episode in our lives. And they've put a smile on my face that will last until Eden Park next year.

Thanks Tim for your videos. Love it. ❤❤❤

You gotta give it to Tim he embraces the experience in South Africa and really promotes us with out being biased... I've been following this channel since world cup and it's great well done mate

[timmerry]

Tim, thanks for taking the time to have a selfie with me and my wife yesterday. I really love your channel and the enthusiasm and positivity you bring to rugby. I was in a serious accident earlier this year and I was really appreciative of your channel while I was in hospital. I was so excited to be there yesterday and it was really glad I got to see you there too. Thanks again for the channel!

A thing NZ fans also need to realise is go back to when Rassie started. He did not have success immediately. He has built into his success and so will Razor. Give him time he will get the AB's back to the top but he needs to make some big calls.

[ericbreeden]

I'm an American and love both teams. Both games were on the next level. You can go back to the 2013 through 2015 and see what the All- Blacks brought. Spring forward to now. Rassie watched and is now getting the whole nation behind him. It's so much fun watching the top 10 in the world right now.

[GaryThompson-ewjc]

You are only as good as your opposition allows you to play. Well done to both sides. 🎉

[richardhills]

The referee was consistent and clear with his decisions. That is all we can ask for. Great game!! Thanks for what you are doing for rugby, Tim. Lekker man!!!!

[anchor]

No matter what as long As I see Rassie, I'll never fear any nation, He always has a plan man, and we are spoilt with a pool of players. With Rassie even if we lose, I always think he has a plan. What a man

[BeverleyHart-uc]

I love your positive outlook. My favourite pundit by far. I’m a 67 year old female dual citizen (SA/UK) living in England and supporting the Springboks. I do support England, but not when they play the Boks!

[andrewlow]

Two extremely intense games of rugby that could have gone either way. South Africa not at their best but are able to find ways to win. They need to give this new style more time to develop. Tough to try a new style when playing New Zealand - stick with it and in three years will be unstoppable

[kubensamiuel]

If anyone wants to be negative about the Boks I would say think back to where we were just before Rassie took over. If anyone had told me in 2024 we'd have won 2 World Cups, a Lions series and be on the brink of 2 Rugby Championships I would have said they had lost their minds. So we're in a good moment, enjoy and appreciate it while it lasts because sport has shown there will be a time when it's not as good.
