Springboks v Ireland The Ultimate Rugby World Cup Review

Loading player...
Defending champions South Africa were defeated by world number one Ireland 13-8 at the Stade De France in their third match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. In this episode Peter analyses the match, the process, the tactics and the overall outcome. Don’t miss out on this deepdive into how the Irish went about combatting and ultimately overcoming the world champion Springboks, and where it leaves the South Africans with just one pool match to play and the quarter-finals looming. Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently.
