One of the absolute highlights of this #RWC2023 has been discovering Tim's videos. His honesty, humility and respect for the game has been reflected in the comments section. So here, for the 1st time in history, I will recommend you read a comment section:

RSA v NZL | MATCHDAY THOUGHTS | At the Louvre

Matchday has arrived. Some thoughts on the game, on the tournament, the journey, the channel. Just had to get up and get out to soak up the day.

I love how the 7-1 thing becomes such a headline that people miss the nuance. The real story is that the #Boks have THREE fetchers on the bench. This is not about set piece dominance, but about slowing rucks & scrambling on defence. It's a brilliantly calculated risk. #RSAvsIRE

Cecil Africa: -picks ball up on his feet✅ -makes offload while off balance and unsighted ✅ -gets up to run the perfect supportline ✅✅✅ He may have been born a genius, but that support line is 100% commitment and training, which is why he's a legend too.

PS: I wrote this while on a zoom call, it's not meant to be a nuanced summary of the tour - just a bit of perspective. If you're hitting me with 'Berry was attacked', 'Gats started it', or 'All South Africans/Lions fans are toxic' - you're part of the problem.

This right here is why we love this team of individuals. Jacques is very much under appreciated by many and the fact that he's fine with it says even more about the man. Well done to @SiyaKolisi (once again) for taking this opportunity and for articulating it so well.

Siya Kolisi has paid an incredible tribute to Jacques Nienaber, who has one more game - the Rugby World Cup final - in charge of the Springboks before his switch to Irish side Leinster. #RWC2023 #ENGvRSA #Springboks

I don't like long 🧵s, but with all the toxic tribalism on here I wanted to put something out there for the #irishrugby fans and do so before my own team wins/loses. If you know any and agree, pls share with them. @Oom_Rugby @ek_rugby @jwcoetzee @BoknRoll @jaredwright17

Just a note to all supporters of the Irish rugby team from a #springbok fan... You guys should be proud. This tournament was different in so many ways. Thinking or feeling that "we didn't get past the quarters again" would be a mistake. 1. Never in the history of rugby have the

I can go on, but the bottomline should be clear. Sport = Stories. That's it. Really, it is. The rest is only important as to how they can support the stories told by sport. The good news: nothing can tell better stories.

Still one of my favourite moments on TV, ever. A bit of context about the players and the program helps, but even without it, it’s just gold. Also, I miss Sean 💔

Really looking forward to someone smart explaining what happened in the breakdowns today. ABs absolutely killed the Boks with turn-overs and penalties. Momentum killer. @Oom_Rugby @SquidgeRugby @bernardjackman

Someone please tell Felix Jones to write a book. It will be an absolute slam dunk in multiple markets.

The most interesting part of this will be to see if @darren_lehmann and @stevesmith49 take responsibilty or makes Bancroft the scapegoat. The response will show the character and ethos of this team. #SAvsAUS #BallTampering

3. Rassie's fight is not with Nic Berry - don't worry. Nic is unfortunate collateral damage in the fight with WR. If Rassie's issue was with Nic, he would have released that video on the Monday. Look at it again, he reacts to the feedback.
