Will a Springbok win World Player of the Year? | Whistle Watch

Is an English translation available?

Please watch @EggchasersRugby video on the current state of officiating in rugby. I think most fans feel like this.

Something I was very confused about during that Wales game (I was in the crowd) the ref shows his arm out for an advantage the Welsh player chooses to then kick into the 22 because its a free play but then no penalty was given, I asked my friend (who had the commentary in his ear) my question is why would the Welsh player kick if they didn't have advantage (the refs arm was Clearly up) but nothing happened

Hi... Why are the scrumhalfs not required to feed the ball into the scrum under Hooker's feet anymore? Thanks Zaahir from Cape town South Africa

As much as it is in the right for the red card but not giving any chance of leyway either. I think these rules need to change to know what recklessness is over just and dangerous Head on head clash to me Kerivi view was not reckless or was it a high degree of danger it is contact sport to me that should is how you should be giving the red card on Reckless and High degree of danger. Samething happened in the world cup with Sam Kane again deserve Yellow card it was not reckless and high degree of danger this the where they need to sought it out.

Love your show! Why do you think a prop has never been nominated for WPOTY? Ox Nche is obviously deserving, there are a few games that couldn’t have been won without him. Props do all the hard work needed for the other players to perform. Shouldn’t they be recognised?

Does Nigel literally ever disgaree with the officials?

Getting a yellow card for an accidental head clash was already waaaay waaaay over the top. Getting a red and now a 3 game suspension is just beyond comprehension. I just can’t believe how badly this has been handled. And now his appeal has been rejected as well it’s a disgrace and an embarrassment. It deserved an In game penalty at the absolute maximum

Kerevi was a red, he had clear vision and time to prepare himself to tackle yet was too upright. Yes the Welsh player dipped but correct tackle technique is not headbutting the bloke in the sternum, and there is no obligation for the ball carrier to stay totally upright. The way the whingers carry on you'd think that both Kerevi and the Welsh guy were low enough to bind a scrum.

The explanation of the Kerevi incident is flawed.

First, the claim of a “clear line of sight” is subjective and imposes an assumption about where Kerevi was looking and what he was focusing on in a fast-paced, multifaceted game.

Second, the images displayed are misleading. From other angles not shown, the Welsh player’s knees are about 2 inches from the ground, likely omitted to suit their needs. The turf is also cut out in the image presented, further skewing the context.

I call BS on the Kerevi red card. Ain’t no clear line of sight when 2 bodies are travelling at that speed! That’s why his head is caught on the wrong side.

No way that was a bloody red card…IRB is on drugs…

It's a shame we don't have the proper video for these. Come on world rugby, let people analyse the game online, it doesn't make any difference to the broadcasters

Pieter-Steph du Toit has been very consistent this year and has stood out in virtually every match. They are all very close contenders for the award and it will be a difficult choice eventually.

Not suprised he didn't talk more about the Moroni yellow card and the last play in Ireland Argentina, World Rugby don't want to highlight their mistakes...

Its a travesty Ox Nche wasn't nominated for poty

If you'd fail the rugby law exam now then why are we listening to you for whistle watch?! Haha

Very disappointing that there were no props up for ‘IRB Player of the Year’
(Ox Nche deserves to be nominated … as a minimum ! 🤔)

Ox Nche definitely missed out the nomination for player of the year. Also Van der Flier of Ireland, Oviedo and Mallia of Argentina.

Save Rugby, say no to Saudis

Love the grazing cows!!!!

To me player of the year has got to be Eben. He leaves everything on the field everytime, but my hometown lad Kolbe has got to be very close behind. Fantastic player and will set all kinds of records going forward I am sure

Ox Nche should have been nominated for WPOTY

No OX Nche is a disgrace!

The crocodile roll officiating is still a bit inconsistent… Doris and Ryan double croc rolled Marx and got a yellow, that was more dangerous than the Scottish player’s foul.

It's funny how a Moto GP rider doing 250 kph spills, bumps his everything and gets clobbered by his bike and passing bikes, gets up and rides on, if his steed still works.
Rugby boys are becoming over paid Nancie's.
They should sign an indemnity form and get on with it.
Rugby is hypocritical coz there's more head banging going on in rucks and mauls than the occasional head kiss because players don't tackle below the hips.
If they want to play in pink tutus and touch rugby, they should just get a real job.

Ox needed be nominated for player of the year

It's very hard to think World Rugby will give an SA player.....discrimination of SA in the world, Rugby amazing

Ox missed out

I was hoping Nigel would comment on the disallowed Springbok try. That pass was not forward (Disclaimer: I am a passionate Springbok supporter so it is probably a biased opinion)

I feel u have become a sellout. A World rugby mouth peace.

Ox Nche

WPOTY will prove World Rugby’s pure disdain for the South African rugby team when Doris will win.

3 out of 4 World player nominees from South Africa, then it'll almost certainly go to the only non-South African. Congratulations Doris.
Because, World Rugby. Politics. Corruption. Northern Hemisphere Bias. Bill Beaumont.

Ox Nche should have been nominated for world player of the year.

It's frankly a disgrace that no prop has ever been nominated for this reward. Rugby union is a game for all shapes and sizes. Let's give some recognition for the props for once.

This must be the most Welsh show ever. Talking rugby with a cow in a barn!!

Does World Rugby not have video rights for world rugby ? Be nice to see playback of these incidents .

I hope for psdt that he wins again but also support cheslin and eben

😂🇿🇦...what is bad..😢..if Rassie resign....Ackerman is the next couch.😂..another problem....😂😂...❤

Why have props never been nominated?

Shows picture of Kerevi with his knees bent and head down, gaslights us over him not doing that.

Law makers are a joke. I’ll never agree with a penalty & yellow card being given together. Either one or the other. Stupidity in their heads.

Ox Nche should have been nominated for WRPOY SA number one. A propriety has never been included. Why not??

Eben, Steph or Kolbe deserves to win it. 🇿🇦 Ox should feel aggrieved that he wasn't nominated.

With the NH mafia running WR. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes to Irishman

What garbage

Es vergonzoso que ni hayan nominado a Juan Cruz Mallia. No solo jugó un gran año con Los Pumas, sino que también con Toulouse.

Listen, how do we watch the 2024 awards???

Like how everyone is saying the SA boys are so big. We used our biggest boys agaisnt Wales this weeken, Yet our foward pack was only 1kg heavier than Wales. We like being physical, that does not mean our boys are bigger. Every Nation has big guys playing, but it's our small guys that is running circles around teams. If my numbers are correct, I can be wrong, but SA has score 56 tries in the year of 2024, probabely the highest of any other nation. So please tell me how we still playing boring rugby. Thats more that 4 tries per game. A win rate of 86%. SA rugby has improved so muchover the last 2 years, but think the level of Rugby accross the whole world has improved a lot. Now they should get the Laws and TMO nonsense sorted out.
