Tim, you forgot to mention John Robbie who played for Ireland and the British Lions who came out to SA and stayed on to live in SA. He played in 2 Currie Cup and 2 Lion Cup Finals. He sat on the bech for the Springboks 4 times and played for them in the internal tour in 1985.

Did Ireland win the RWc ?

Top class, really cool video

Great video!

Geez Tim, that well-intentioned quick synopsis of Irish history was a bit sketchy, to say the least. My fact-checker-omorer was in overdrive. Reality is very nuanced, difficult to condense to a snapshot and thus best swerved 😊

Never thought about our common histories like that before!! Thank you for pointing it out. We appreciate your channel

Love the historical angle. Tnx

Tims love for rugby is clear to see. Love the channel. Go Bokke!

Tim, I am from the SA Tourist Board and am pleased to announce your nomination for the Cecil Rhodes Award for Visitor of the Year 2024. The Award Ceremony will take place in Diepsloot next week. Black Tie. Can you please confirm attendance?

So glad you are enjoying your time in SA.

Enjoy Tim! I have a shuttle to Loftus Versfeld tomorrow with 16 people. Enjoy your stay in South Africa.

Love your work mate. 🏉👊🏻

Well done Tim. Great piece.

Nice one

You just got a new subscriber. Quality content sir - thanks

Thanks for the great video!

Ice on the cake Tim, yourself in a Boks Jersey. Go for it...

Fantastic video. Thank you for pointing out the positive similarities. Can’t wait for the game. Whatever happens, I have such respect for the Irish team and their fans. I hope the ones who travel have an excellent time in our country. Just like I enjoy visiting the amazing Irish isles and their rugby stadiums. 🇿🇦❤️🇮🇪

Tomorrow's game is going to be epic! hope you get your interview with Deon Fourie.

As a saffa, I think Osborne is a good call. He’s relentless and hope he has a good game tomorrow!

Dude, as a Bok supporter, I am nervous about Ireland, perhaps on the same level when the Boks play the All Blacks. This game is going to be brutal. May the best team win on the day. To me all games going forward, is a build up to the next RWC. Enjoy SA Tim, maybe we’ll catch you in Cape Town. You will not want to leave😬

Thank you so much for the respect you shown for us and as well for the Irish

Gwijo squad in the house! Coy bokke🏈🇿🇦💪👊

Welcome to the home of rugby ❤

Another interesting fact is in parts of tte Freestate and other parts of the country, in spring and autumn alongside the roads you will find fields of flowering cosmos in many colours. This was brought here by contaminated horsefeed during the Anglo-boer war og 1899 - 1902.

I really appreciate this comparison between Protestant-Catholic in Ireland and the tribal/racial reality in South Africa. Deep insights, thank you. 'Was jy ooit al daar op Loftus as dit vol is en dit rof is' 🎶🎸: ruclips.net/video/HX2sVm9acYE/видео.htmlsi=KCirOHvqxiQ_zyhH"

Dude can't believe that gave you that much access 😊

The build up to the match is fantastic. Love that Supersport rugby channel screened Chasing the Sun 2 this morning!

well done for trying the historical backgrounds for both nations

What really stands out in Tim's videos is the positivity he spreads about rugby! he doesn't buy into all the fake narratives spread by mainstream media, he doesn't use clickbait and he is fair and honest towards all teams and countries with very little preconceived notions. There is no better representation of this than your comments section. Comments from all nationalities that are constructive and positive. Some banter here and there of course, but very little trolling/nastiness. Your community is a reflection of your channel Tim. As you would say, "Top man"! Lets go Bokke!

Ahhh no... no no no, please, don't do that Tim. SA and Ireland have had different histories and not sure we can thank rugby for making things better. Lets stick to the rugby shall we. Hope its a blast down there.

Just another spectacular post, Tim. Beautiful!

Loftus is very special ❤ thanks for the great Chanel 👍

That final clip made me tear up a bit... miss my home, am nostalgic every day!

There was a number of Irish who fought on tge side of the Boere against the Brits in 1899. Not far from the hotel in Roodepoort there is the war memorial to Irish people who fought against the British.

hey tim little info abbout the emblems. You are right that the sspringbok was not replaced. But politics did mean the moving of the pringbok from the left side (heart) to the right side. Then a protea was added to the left side. love your content as always!

I think the Springboks will win game 1. I expect 6-8 changes for game 2 by the Springboks and that will allow the Irish a win in Durban.

I love your coverage and your passion for rugby...wish u all the best with the channel

8:45 anyone know the minigame they're playing ?

Hi Tim, enjoy the game!ABs will take time to gel.(about 40 minutes) Backs supremacy will reign in 2nd half,15 points to NZ full time

This is your opportunity to collect signatures -- auction them for charity or to support your kid's rugby crowd, or keep them for your wall.

Very classy, Tim - I love the respect you've shown both

Another brilliant video Tim. Best of luck to our South African friends. 🇮🇪 🇿🇦 🏉

Strange seeing the Loftus without the DJ blaring out! Very nice vid Tim, thanks.

getting home sick watching that

Very nice clip 👌

There is no place like home, South Africa is a very special place with special people. We have our problems, but there is no place like home.

Well done, Tim. I think you have really absorbed what rugby means to SA. Now all that is left is the magic of Fortress Loftus in full war-cry…

Wow that catch of the ball with the feet at 2:11 was smooth

I think many of Springbok fans including myself don’t respect the Irish. Many of us think they’re arrogant and not deserving of respect. We respect the ABs though. Then again Rassie has mentioned we don’t play for respect of others
