South Africa- England 02 June 2007 best tackles

[MRodzor]

why does everyone think that when they tackle a south African team player it suddenly means its an amazing tackle?

[kealyc]

SA's victory in the 2007 world cup was deserved. Unfortunately, they were not really tested in that competition. NZ fell asleep in an easy group and then lost to France. France then lose to England, who had already lost 36-0 to SA in a group match. None of RWC 2007 made much sense to me. Lucliky, the most consistent team won, and that was the Boks.

[spartanchipmunk]

@kealyc they were tested in the final, if the TMO had given a try, which he easily could have, being so close that either decision would be legitamate, then things may have been different, SA deserved to win, though as a pom it is hard to say, but they didnt have it easy, especially not in the 2nd half of the final

[Hairycheese1]

fuckin south african cheatin basterds

[davidthechode]

spies sums up south african rugby, dirty, cheating and over-rated

[CrazyEvo5]

@davidthechode Spies is hardly a cheat mate. I think you should reevaluate what your definition of cheat is because that guy is not one. There are other players in the springbok forwards that are a lot more deserving of that title. Jean De Villiers is a bloody awesome player. Would love a player like him in my team.

[macphersonleedsunite]

He South Africa funny that we can beat your teams and you cant beat ours. You lost to Saracens and Licester for two examples.

[worldwar2madman]

@macphersonleedsunite Hey Mr Englishman, shut up. Atleast we aren't in a war with Nuclear Weapons etc etc so fuck off.

[TheSkyhigh2111]

@macphersonleedsunite what?

[FreddyStar011235]

Best tackles? This just shows missed tackles andshoulder barges. Fail.

[SNOK1986]

Pierre spies is the man!

[kealyc]

@SNOK1986 - true, unlike Bakkies and Burger - they could both found a company called 'Rent-a-Thug'.

[rick5t4]

The video name is "South Africa- England 02 June 2007 best tackles" so i was expecting a video of some decent tackles, yet half way through it seemed to turn into "South Africa- England 02 June 2007 South Africa try's" ?

[blokskebeton]

@rick5t4 idd, it should be called 'south africa-england 02 june 2007 WORST tackles'

[peeonehundred]

The Springboks have played England

31times: 18 wins, 1 draw and 12 losses.

enuff sed

Boks rule, ok ?

[Auxois]

If you are counting this tour where england sent a thirds team, that knocks a few of those wins. - and SA just got hammered in the autumn

[adzerav]

i personally like the south africa team but the only thing i dont like about them is when they fucked luke fitzgerald in the lions tour

[Brademan120]

Look at the poms then we talk about DIRTY!

[Danmonty100]

Spies best no.8 in the world?

[fandotcom]

one of my most favourite games to watch ova an ova.

[AlExXx364]

South Africa are an amazing team! really impressed last world cup they deserved that win :)

[InnocentTshabalala]

It's bastards, not basterds you idiot. So they cheated to win every single trophy known in rugby. LOL You whinging little pom, how about you lot start playing RUGBY for a change. England is irrelevant in world rugby and everyone knows it. Where are you on the rankings now son...? Playing China is considered a big game for you lot these days.

The southern hempishere completely dominate world rugby and always will.

[natforgood]

I just love your reply Innocent Tsh.....

Too true re the China part.

Keep sorting them out...

[Niallersz]

@InnocentTshabalala what about ireland and france?

[WesternForce1989]

lunds tackle on spies first up is immense

[FlusherD12]

my vid

[FlusherD12]

oi saffas come watch the springboks beating the shit outta the poms ya'll

[oohan101]

Wooohooo!!!!! blady poms!

[natforgood]

Too true! And it happened more or less how you said. The downside of playing the poms is their 10-year long whining, ifs and buts - oh yes and excuses - misconstruing the Burger eye-gouging which he was not penalised for per se, crying like babies re: Bakkies - hell, imagine getting stuck in an elevator with them... No sanity left.

[macafricascot]

England are shit. So much money behind and all you get is hype.

[edtri19]

that was our shittest team i am surprised we made it to the final, next world cup we could win though, so much young talent coming through

[MrFatelvistheham]

quite negro

[englandforever]

? RWC finals... shut the fuck up u obviouslt know nothing.

[macafricascot]

When was the last time england were rated no 1 in the world? About 6 yrs ago for 2 months. Fucken bitches ha ha!!!

[rob12192]

we suck at the moment, but give it a couple of years and we'll be good again. It's easy to call others shit when you're at the top, it takes a real man to accept that you're team has problems that need addressing instead of arguing about it

[macafricascot]

yawn

[InnocentTshabalala]

Oh well done, as if English supporters had anything good to say about any other team in 2003. LOLOL The bottom line is that SA has beaten England 7 times in a row now yet you won't find a single Englishman even willing to admit that just PERHAPS SAfrica is the better team. lol Whinging poms all the way.

Also, when England were on top in 2003 it was brief. SA however has continued to win every competition they've participated in, after becoming world champs in 2007. Sheer class.

[rob12192]

Your an idiot. I just admitted that SA are currently the worlds best and you come back with some comment about no englishman admitting it.

[FlusherD12]

oi come check my springbok video, its not like the other crappy springbok tribute vids

[stubrennan2]

Spies is going to be the best player rin the world. Already would be if it wasn't for his illness

[P90DRE]

@stubrennan2 I heard he took steroids. The kid is incredibly big.

[rob12192]

0:56 is late as fuck, and don't anyone say he was already commited to the tackle before the ball was passed, as he didnt even move until after the pass was made its a simple cheap shot

[errrrwhatthe]

Dannys hit on Monty there makes me smile!!

[zacashtonhill]

schalpburger is a dirty prick

[kumaritil]

Just because you got beaten at your own game don't go calling one of the masters of the back row a 'dirty prick'..

[Tarrmite]

you are the dumbass he was playing rugby union way before he played league

[UHtiger]

are you talking to me, if so brad thorn has been playing top level rugby league since he was 18 and was playing school boy league before that

[springbok321]

BOKKE!!!!!!!!!

[springbok321]

BOKKE!!!!:)

[NasinuWarrior85]

lip-beat my dick...do I need to hand-sign to you --> rucking is not done in league, it is allowed in union! that is one painful physical tough shit...but u wouldn't know coz' u only experienced rugby from the comfort of your TV or spectators, rucking is one of the major difference!

[UHtiger]

brad thorn changed to union after playing 20 years of league. and rucking is more annoying than anything.plus rucking is no longer allowed so that point is moot. hard is running straight into each other when both the defense and the guy with the ball have a big run up.

[facemon123]

Um Correction rucking is actually still allowed in the rule books its just refs dont always let ya away with it, But its legal

[UHtiger]

in the new ELV's rucking is no longer allowed so UM CORRECTION, they are thinking of changing it back at the end of the year because of all the infringing in the rucks but at this time and for the last couple years its been banned

[NasinuWarrior85]

is that it?? Brad Thorn probably got bored of league coz' he definitely didn't return to league. Union still is the harder, tougher game! league players don't get to be rucked like that is done in union, beat that ass-wipe!

[NasinuWarrior85]

union players are more aggressive becoz they gotta run and play more...clean-outs at the ruck, scrum, line-outs, etc. have you ever seen a league player switch to union and play forwards??? not me!

[tomslc94]

union hits are nothing compared to league hits

[NasinuWarrior85]

tell the legaue-players to play union then you'll see which is the more tough game!

[tomslc94]

a lot of them do and they walk right into the wallabies team. the wallabies backline is pretty much made up of former rugby league players

[0wn4g3SPECIALIST]

Only because the ARU pick the top league players

Many of them have rugby backgrounds anyway like Ryan Cross

[rehanb]

haha the results speak for themselves

[CrazyM0nkeyMan]

Football hits are nothing compared to rugby hits they need that padding cause their pussies.

[donerlich]

Lol, American Football, so tough they have to wear helmets and pads so big they look like roll cages.

Just kidding, AF is much harder hitting, they need that protection, however, both games are hard. Union has some huuuuuge hits as well with no protection.

[gcherrybomb]

watch pierre spies, every time an england player tries to tackle him before his try he times his steps to make sure one leg is firmly on the ground while breaking the tackle. strong boy.

[F1r3Blad1]

rofl this is garbage watch some footbalL!! american football thats a real sport for guys!

[Jeebix]

no its for steroid junkies who wear thick padding cause they are afraid of rupturing their massively padded faces

[gorgorothpa]

at least in rugby there aint an ad break every twelve seconds and after every score the commentators dont say" this score was brought to u by mars"

[JinjiroWow]

nom nom nom!!!!! hehekekeke I feel like cybering! V

[mickser101]

Burger is not a great rugby player hes at his best in defence he could tackle a horse and id have him on my side any time. Spies is also world class

[juaninito]

pierre spies is awesome, powerfull, i hope he doesn´t do that next saturday against Argentina

[tomslc94]

england's defence is shit, and percy mongomery is a soft cock

[reprimand33]

And the Aussies are a bunch of sly sheep lovers

[rwc20071]

New zealand shg sheep not OZ

[kylejwhyte]

best tackles at 37sec

[uChakide]

no arms that is a penalty

[bonkerlad]

Should be retitled to Worst tackles!

[ipual831]

england got fuked up every time

hoho

S.A babies

[moroll]

...hmmmm 2003 world cup... different story back then though...2007 rugby world cup 15-6... every time...no...its always been a close game...just this series england were not up to standard and did not perform on the day... but we have had our fair share of wins over s.a.

[scrubmacdub]

ha just realised ive already made that very same comment on the video like a month ago. lol

[the0chap]

this is the first video iv ever seen of pierre spies. did he play in the world cup? christ, what a line breaker.

[scrubmacdub]

he got ruled out of the WC cos of dodgy lungs. such a shame he would have been awesome, but roussouw did well in the number 8 jersey. spies is so quick, runs the 100m in 10.4secs, used to play as a winger

[scrubmacdub]

[scrubmacdub]

have the pace of a winger - 10.4secs over 100m or something

[shanedeigo4]

spies played wing up till under 21 and then just got big. hes an 8 and a fuckin great 1 at that

[scrubmacdub]

spies is such a strong runner! awsome at handoffs, who do ppl reckon is better out of spies and danie roussouw?

[tlabuscagne]

Wake up you idiot. You are trying to compare white South Africans representing their country that they were born in, as were their fathers, fathers, fathers (etc.) to a foreign born football player who comes to the UK to play for a club side!

[bcfsl]

You English got MUGGED in this game. MUGGED like little girls on the bus! BUT, big up for your RWC 2007 performance. Huge improvement, and some brilliant rugby to smash France AND Aus!!!

[monkeydluffy5566]

pretty much the whole sth. african soccer team is black

white people in sth. africa play rugby

and black people in sth. play soccer

the truth of matter all the white deserve their spots because they are genuinely better with exceptions like Brian Habana

[mattbritz]

what the hell are u goin on about, england came ova to south africa in june to play south africa, ur a idiot!

[estian1]

South Africa played england in 2007 in June at Bloemfontein and Pretoria I was at the 2nd test...we beat engalnd like 57-12 and 53-17

[stumaggoo]

do u no how to get all the match

[Raston9]

ENGLAND TILL I DIE!

[marcopantani]

Rule number 1: Give the ball to Piere SPIES>

[bushboysteve]

I think this argument has been settled! GO BOKKE!!!

[dmeteler]

ENGLAND SUCK, the bokke will win for sure. Englands whole team relies on Johnny Wilkinson and you can't win a world cup wth 1 player.

[ragerancher]

After we got to the final you still say that... Did you even watch all the rugby games? Did you see how often Wilkinson missed? To say that now proves you are ignorant.

[TEDBECKS]

Good luck Bokkies!! You will need it with 10 mins to go.

Go Johnny Go Go Go!!

[johannSwanepoel]

hey all you guys need to shut up...SA is better than England right now so shut up...u englishman cant see into the future so we go on wat really happened kids 36-0...but good luck to you guys i am a springbok but i like england 2..respect right there

[Nielzep]

fuck england

Springboks forever !!! the gonna win the World Cup

[machinegun90]

Fuck of you cunt come over to england, to the hard places like manchester and liverpool and youll find some hard people you twat. I wish icould meet you so i could kick your fucking head in you twat!

[mrpid2012]

What kind of fucking loser has a name like machinegun for gods sake!! I bet you cant even say your r's properly you fucking arrogant bastard. Manchester hard, my arse

[jstor23]

Burger is an absolute wanker. End of story

[KingMatt292]

Shalk Burger is a legend, repeatedly destroys other teams... if he would have been on against England it would have been even more of a cricket score

[pea6]

Schalk Burger's a mindless thug.

[Swanbow]

He isnt really. He just make's hard tackle's thats all. He shouldnt of got banned for two games he was going for the ball against somoa

[stukkak1976]

Schalk Burger is n dom poes. Fok hom ek is bly hy is geskors, al is dit oor kak. Go Wikus, jy is strate beter as SKAAP Burger.

[Myself0101]

sorry i meant, he had a blood clot in his lungs

[muslim0guerilla]

fucken spies why isnt he playing anymore

[Myself0101]

injured

[Swanbow]

has an injury i think

[chalks112]

only 2 weeks to wait to see more of this.

[Jeebix]

dirty english bastard

[Defunkt25]

unusual to see jonny miss a tackle, pfft who cares

[gkleb]

man we're gonna miss spies at the WC. That kid is super man!

[mforl]

Pierre due to be fit for RWC07! Watch out world, he's going to spear opposition to the ground!

[Auxois]

nah hes deffo out, thank god :P well i feel sorry for the guy but he is a machine

[wpforever]

Spies tears Collins a new asshole

[EvKrusty]

yup, big loss for the boks come RWC...could make all the difference when ABs meet them in the final stages

[flowerstorcuatero]

nothig special....agentina is a very better

[stormers68]

Pierre sies absolutely gutted his outta the world cup :(

[workingclassbum]

As a rugby fan I'm gutted as well. As an England fan I couldn't be happier!

[BoersPunxUnited]

I may be a loyal Sharks fan, but Pierre Spies...

What a legend.
