“Humble pie for the Springboks”
“Less paparazzi and more pappa Rassie.”
“Rassie giving his thoughts about Rennies comments makes the third game even more exciting and I am glad he said something because Rennie is continuing the complaining. Really hope the series is not remembered for comments about Refs that influence them but just for the spectacle it is”
“Tim, I have been an All Black fan all my life. The Boks are a fabulous team that breathe the same air as us. It's called passion. For some fans on both sides, the passion leads to fiery responses on anything that people may not agree with. But one thing is for sure...we will always come back to eachother and enjoy a beer and hold ourselves with respect and honour. It's the rugby way. I love our game so much that I can only say that Rugby is the winner at the end of the day. Much respect Tim. Your awesome mate 🍻”
“Don't know why they don't follow the Springboks playbook, and let your players play outside NZ, and change the rules by allowing NZ still play for the AB's”
“This is not how you sell rugby in Aus. Beating the world no.1 and bleating about the ref is idiotic”
“Fair play to the Wallabies, they were up for this game and absolutely dominated the Boks, good fight back but not enough in the end, think a few players have played themselves out of the Boks squad. Cant wait for the Bledisloe, where i can watch stress free as a neutral 😂”
“The Boks needed a humbling of this sort. We all feel sad but it is what it is. The All Blacks were the better team on the field. Congrats guys.”
“There is not a single women's team for any sport that makes a profit. How the hell can it be an investment?”
“Cheslin is a JEDI Knight and a Swiss Army knife rugby player”
“Australia deserved to win, congratulations from a Springbok supporter.”
“Ref was really over playing his role at the scrum”
“Awesome match. Nuts. We deserved to loose at how many basics mistakes we made.”
“I’m a South African as well and although we lost, I thought he did a great job under immensely difficult circumstances. He’s not responsible for the communication problems that developed, he didn’t tell players to perform dangerous tackles, he didn’t tell players to do stupid offside stuff. If this badgering of referees after games is allowed to continue further then we’re not going to have any quality referees left one of these days. World rugby should ban these so-called rugby pundits from attending any rugby game ever again.”
“I would rather take the loss. If we won that game we would have been eaten alive online. We do not deserve to win the game with 15 min to play with only 35% possession. The Boks did not show up today. That was an absolute circus and disgrace on world rugby communication systems. Well done Aus for the win.”
“I am a Bok fan, and I genuinely believe that Piardi did the best he could under the circumstances. Rugby is a chaotic sport and refs and their assistants can't spot everything. Sad that we lost but not gonna blame the ref. The only area of improvement I think that needs to be looked at is time-keeping. Imagine if this happened in a World cup final, it needs to be sorted now as it could have disastrous consequences later on.”
“Cant wait for the first scrum on Saturday!🇿🇦”
“Piardi did well under the circumstances 🙏🏻”
“We need a video of you going into that water. Looks like Greece, feels like Antartica. And don't wear your budgie smugglers... There will be no eggs to chase for Mrs Tim”
“The Kiwis and Aussies arrogantly booted the Saffas who joined the Northern hemisphere competitions. Ultimately, it worked for the Saffas and the Southern hemisphere are poorer for it. This financial system was created by Rugby NZ and Australia and they are now reaping what they sowed!”
“Tim, can I suggest you do a video on exactly HOW South Africa exited the Super rugby competition.”
“Great Insight Tim. 19 pro teams for a country of 5million people is diabolical. This day was always going to happen.”

Hi Tim, Just a humble message from a Springbok supporter in South Africa to say thank you for the wonderful coverage throughout the tour and especially for your thoughts and discussions around the final game between the Springboks and the All Blacks. Rugby is what makes this rivalry so special — two proud nations, plenty of passion, but ultimately a shared love and respect for the game. Win or lose, these matches remind us why Test rugby is so unique. I’ve really enjoyed following the Eggchasers Podcast during the tour. Your honest opinions, humour and willingness to look at the game from both sides make the discussions enjoyable, even when we don’t always agree! 😂 From South Africa, thank you to you and the team for the effort you put into covering the game. It’s been a fantastic tour, and hopefully the rivalry between the Boks and All Blacks continues to give us many more memorable battles. Respect to you, Tim — and well done on a great tour. 🇿🇦🏉🇳🇿 Cheers from South Africa! Piet
Watching from England. That was absolutely incredible!!!! Don’t ever go to the gutters with the Boks as they will physically and mentally destroy you. They completely controlled that 2nd half. Full credit must go to Rassie and those players 🙌🏼🙌🏼
There’s no crisis. We got humbled. We deserved to get humbled on the back of that performance. We played as badly as we could’ve and we still created chances, we had multiple entries, dominated the scrum in the first half. Everyone in green looked rusty and had a very bad day at the office. This just really heightens the series, ups the anticipation for Cape Town and will sharpen the Bok focus. Congratulations to New Zealand, much better on the day and well deserved winners!
Manie Libbok is our best 10! Ethan Hooker is a weapon, Morné Van den Berg is class. Thank you Springboks you played really well
A word on Siya, what a captain. He has won the past 8 matches he captained against the AB's, (Jesse was captain at Eden Park, Siya missed Ellis Park test), crazy!
ETHAN BLOODY HOOKER what a player!!!
NZ fan here. Nothing is ruining the rivalry for me. GET OFF THE INTERNET PEOPLE! 1-1! How good? On Saturday we go again! Let's go!!!
OX NCHE was great tonight..
Tim, I think you were the first Rugby podcaster I really got into.... And you have always remained true to form and unbiased critic... Such a pleasure to have you in our country... respect brother
I’m going to write an unusually harsh comment, but tonight’s defeat was the result of mismanagement by Rassie, both before and during the game. When we played Argentina a few weeks ago, Sacha was struggling and clearly still undercooked. When Pollard came on, he unlocked the game for the Boks, and that’s how we ended up winning. Yet today he wasn’t even on the bench. To me, that’s a huge mark of disrespect, because Handre has always gotten the short end of the stick whenever a new shiny fly-half appears on the scene. It happened in 2023 too: he wasn’t even initially selected for the World Cup, only to end up being the saviour. I also don’t understand why Ox was taken off so early when he was clearly sharp and absolutely dominating. He himself looked visibly surprised when he got told to leave the field. By contrast, Wilco Louw was kept on too long. He had a heroic shift, but he was ultimately exhausted, and that’s when we stopped winning scrum penalties. But the biggest concern for me was Grant Williams, who is not a starting Test nine. He’s an average scrum-half with exceptional pace, which makes him extremely useful when opponents are tired, but not in close, tight Test matches like this one. He was also exceptionally late to almost every ruck, and that lack of urgency ultimately gifted a try. Complete disaster. Sorry for the harsh words but in my opinion there’s a bit of complacency starting to creep into some of these selections and decisions. The only positives for the Boks were Jasper Wiese, who had an all-time performance, Damian Willemse, who is the best fullback in the world, and Wilco and Ox. As for New Zealand: Roigard, Ruben Love and Will Jordan. Hats off to you, gents. 👏
