Can Ireland win a Test match in South Africa? | The Left Wing

Rassie Erasmus took on a SA side that got beaten 50 points to nil by New Zealand and won a world cup a year and a half later. South Africa is the most fraught environment to coach in (worldwide) when you consider the politics and the environment. The idea that the best way to coach an SA side is to simply "get out of their way" as though the resources would simply produce wins without coaching is just about the most inaccurate statement I've ever seen from a rugby pundit. He obviously has no idea what he's talking about.

Homie really doesn’t like Rassie 💀

Boy in the middle is purely bitter 😂😂

Disrespect is being shown in this interview.

20:30 Saying ' They got a few lucky breaks against France and a few very weird tries' is another level of hate😂😂

That ginger guy in studio does himself no favours on his credibility in his assessment of Rassie and the Bok 2023 RWC campaign.. "Overblown as a Coach and nearly botched it at the RWC" ?? Bwahahaha!!. Try and be a real journalist about Rassie and Jacques and show some bloody respect Chom.

He's in your head, in your head, RASSIE - RASSIE - RASSIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rassie is good fun for the game, helps build the rivalry. Would love to win one down there, come on ireland :)

The stadiums for URC games aren't empty though. Try filling 55k spectators every week

“South Africa got a few lucky breaks against France , a few weird tries” Irish media is a joke 😂😂😂

20:35 wow! tell me you havent watched Chasing the Sun 2 without telling me you haven't watched Chasing the Sun 2. Apart from that, the french in the second half struggled against SA and in the last dying minutes of the game theu were out of tricks, Springboks knocking them backwards. I dont think that comes with luck, and if it does, SA certainly made their own LUCK with that win.

When the bok fans and players talk about the arrogancy and disrespect its this media outlet along with otb and RTE that we talking about.

Still to see the genius, so 2 world cups didn't convince you?

Boys learn some respect, 2 genius comment, Erasumus has been running our excellence program from before the current crop where school boys. Their progress have been consistently monitored for more then a decade by the same coach you deride. Our players do not materialise from thin air.

2 world cups and a BILs series. I have yet to see the evidence 😂😂

You say no evidence of genius? What bs, world rugby changed the scrum rules. Won back to back, so don't talk sh!t

As a South African and passionate Bok supporter it matters to me that we beat Ireland 2-0 (with room to spare if possible). Its a badge of honour in a sense isn't it? I want the Bokke to beat Ireland as much as I would NZ and England. See it as just one more indicator of where this Irish rugby side is at IE right in it with the best if not the actual best which is where every SAn rugby supporter wants our boys to be.

Rassey naming the Irish team does not make him a “mastermind”, I would say the team is pretty easy to fathom, we do not have 4 or 5 players to pick for each position. Do the math!

lol. lay off the Guinness lads. Boks to win series 2-0

South Africans definitely see Ireland as the new kid on the block, its not just SA or NZ anymore. And this is super exciting for us! Ireland its time for you to also create your legacy like the Springboks and All Blacks have done. ☺️
