the real winner was rugby in this series 🇮🇪 🤝 🇿🇦

Ireland did not beat us up: they humbled us yesterday. On our own patch. Yesterday was as brutal a Rugby Test match as I have ever seen. The Irish tackled us as if their lives depended on it. And then played like a #1 team to win it. Congratulations and well played Ireland, massive respect to Ireland from all Bok fans. It was an incredible game. You'll always be welcome back Ireland, you formidable opponents. As for you, Eggchaser: we Saffers are stoked that your first sojourn to South Africa was what we intended: amazing, with lots of Biltong and Brannas. See you soon!

Proudly South African, but we were beaten by the better team on the day! Look forward to many more awesome games between these 2 great rivals!!

Have to credit Andy Farrell here, he picked Jamison Gibson Park when he was 2 nd choice at Leinster, picked Osbourne and Crawley when there not first choice at Leinster, what a manager !

Joel Stransky said: never under-estimate the power of the drop goal.

So proud waking up this morning as an Irish man. What a series, 2 brilliant, physical tests that could have went either way. Long may this new rivalry between the boks and the Irish continue. The 2 best sides out there who really bring out the best in each other. Rugby was the real winner yesterday 🍀🇮🇪🇿🇦

I think that pundits underrated the quality of Ireland's performance in the first test, they were just one score adrift and arguably should have drawn that game. Thence, I was not surprised by their win in the second test, this Ireland team is the very best we've produced.

[HannesLuttig]

Don't know enough about Irish rugby but I am very impressed with the talent they produce with the player pool they have.Hats off!

[JastorKeane-lntz]

Much like CJ Stander you’re an honorary Irishman and a South African Tim. Legend

[mothoin]

Amazing that SA didn't get one try yesterday. Shows the dominance of Ireland. Great match with 2 great teams. Thanks for the spectacle.

[NickyDunne-lz]

Andy gave them a major rollicking after the first test. Benched peter. No place for sentimentality in sport. Well done Andy 👏

Hi there. Thank you Tim for adding great value to our rugby and country here in South African. On paper the Boks looked much stronger than Ireland in yesterdays second test. But Ireland showed tremendes courage, mental toughness and fightback to edge out the Springboks in a pulsating and nail-biting game. Well done Ireland, I think this will be Ireland's launching pad to dominate world rugby in years to come: they have the structure, depth and brilliance. South Africa on the other hand, needs to bring fresh legs into the team. They won two consecutive world cups, its time to make those positive changes. Regards from Cape Town

Tim
I don't think you realise how good YOU are for rugby.

You've made hundreds of thousands supporters remember why we love rugby, and remember the true values of the game.

Thank you!

It was great to have you in our beautiful country my friend. Let me offer you a friendly warning. You may leave Africa, but Africa never leaves you

[aubreythorne]

Absolutely the best rugby podcast around, fair and balanced. Safe travels Tim.

[Shamankzn]

Tim, on a different note, shoutout to your wife and kids for allowing you to have this experience, I hope you are able to bring then along in the future and share the joys of SA with them (during rugby season, of course).

You are the best rugby commentator in the world right now. In fairness some brilliant YouTube channels like two cents and the rugby Pod which offer different content and fun content, but your no 1 buddy, because you remind is how much we enjoy the sport every time!

Ireland 🇮🇪 completely dismantled us in the first half. Then the composure in the second half? Truly phenomenal stuff 😅. It’s one of the best I’ve seen from our rivals.
