Your shows are without question the best rugby content on KZbin 5 stars

Excellent as usual

no game is decided by one moment. We need to stop emphasizing one moment, There is 80 minutes of play. Great analysis though

You'll do anything to get that English fan coin. Borthwick is a complete muppet, yet you will talk about oh how he is building this great team. Stop looking for positives just to get those views. Borthwick sucks. Say it as it is

Smith is a genuinely top class flyhalf he reads the game beautifully and hs the skill set to pul the strings - England are so close to turning the corner. Wilco got some stick for not making that tackle but there was a collisions between Ox and Siya, so all in all a good try and more to it, as I did not see this in real time... well spotted !

smiths pass before 1st tru deffo forward right in front of linesman...........tut tut ....naughty?

If a coach gives in to media / fan pressure, then they need to go.

Video title and ending does not match. "So how did England lose this one.." would have been fitting.

13:15 is not through the gate. The breakdown was so poorly reffed this game and SA took advantage

RG Snyman is approximately the size of Cornwall 😂😂😂

Don’t you mean : “Squarespace, the Cheslin Kolbe of website builders?” 😜

Your content is amazing!

Steve is doing a good job, I don’t think England played badly at all. People calling for his head, need to give their own head a wobble 😂

Thanks for saying something nice about the Wallabies. God knows we've been waiting a while. Bit of a disappointing game against Wales, though. Way too many mistakes, and the score was flattering to us mostly because of Wales made even more mistakes. I hope they can to better against Scotland.

Great video as usual, and always gives me something to think on. This time its actually around the lineout where Earls gets smashed, and I'd appreciate someone with better knowledge helping out....as a back, I was always told we had to be 10m from the lineout until it ends. In this case, the end of the lineout is when the ball goes over the 15m line, so how can Siya Kolisi be that close? I see it happen a lot of the time off the "Overthrow Move" so it must be legal but how? Thanks in advance

Thank you. Great analysis. I'm having a good laugh at some of the comments, as usual....... "I agree with your analysis ...except...". followed by the well-trodden simplistic "Ford not good enough", "Steward too slow", "Borthwick not up to the job", etc. etc. Most media & social media need the clicks, the controversy, the talking points. Even those who should know much better giving player ratings between 3 & 8 that shows little understanding of the game they claim to love. So a massive thank you for another considered review. 👍👍👍

what about France vs New Zealand !?

Maybe the worlds best ever...

Tiramisu don’t win time trials 😂

As a South African, you please need to make a video on the Wallabies' turn around/"upsets" they have casued. ESPECIALLY Tom Wright. Man he is good at rugby!

I agree Ford was good off the bench against Australia, though his introduction and moving Marcus to 15 cost us on their last try, but there is no way you can argue he was good against NZ. Beyond the missed tackle and kicks (yes I know he hit the post on one, but Smith was kicking superbly in that game), he had a poor clearance kick off a scrum that didn't make enough territory. Also, NZ targeted him immediately, and a lot of the gainline and quick ball they made came by targeting him. I would imagine that's why he was moved out of the line in the lead up to the Telea try. Also, if Borthwick is the right man for the job, and personally I not sold one way or the other yet, not having the courage of his conviction, and essentially being bullied by the media is a huge problem.

Squidge, what is the name of the second channel, please?

Marcus Smith, the least bald man in London🤣

Leinster fan here. While our academy system is excellent I think we need to bring more players through the club system too. We also need expand the interest of the game into non rugby parts of the country and aggressively recruit from areas where a high proportion of young athletes go into GAA sports.

Thank you for speaking slower. I enjoy your commentary and insights but on the previous videos with the speeded up comments and flickering on screen I am not able to watch. Again thanks for taking a breath and slowing down

Thanks for the effort but you can pronounce RG in English, I'm sure he won't mind.

The game was ruined by the TMO. I understand Squige no longer talks about the refs and only the game play and I completely respect that. However, this Autumn was ruined by the refs.

People shitting on England are either lying about their asses being clinched the entire 80 mimutes against South Africa, or they don't know rugby. England are doing much better than people give them credit for.

I love how an England loss to South Africa is always wordsmithed as a win. A loss is a loss man.

I like the term bullshit players. But I prefer 'Fuck you' players. because you think you have them covered then they make a play that makes you say "Fuck You'. on the usage of Ford/Smith. I think both are quality and don't think there is a bad decision to be made. But I don't think bringing Ford on would have helped as the issues were team wide. Also, as well as he played against Aus he also called the play, threw the pass that led to the Kelleway try.

Red velvet don't win races 😂😂😂😂

English media meddling keep winning games for the rest of us. I feel for the guys sometimes. It's relentless and toxic.

Great, England is on the up and up. SA WCx2 NZ runner up WC Australia is strong, and have played SA and NZ this year England, came 3rd in WC. Steve will get this, he is a professional coach 💎💙 #diamondcornerstone

Hi all warren garland must stay he is the man for Wales Good luck Warren wru give the man money and all over the world for players. Xray

Steroids

Great analysis as usual. However, I haven't seen a single person point out the ginormous elephant in the room. England are not test rugby fit. That is the primary factor at play here.

In other words, South Africa have a supremely better coaching team than ourselves.

Hi Squidge. I would'nt want my company to be called the Antione Du Pont of Websites because that would mean I am a one trick pony that only shines when I'm competing against mediocre competition! Now if you call my company the Cheslin Kolbe of Websites it means that I can play anywhere in the backline, strong in the aerial play(ask old Freddie), hooker against Australia so that my captain can go score Etc! 😁😁 Squarespace take note!!

One of the most toxic things about England has to be their media. They profit from outrage, negativity and, when things are going well, excessive jingoism and smugness. Country seems to veer from “no one can touch us!” to “it’s over! Forever! We’re terrible!” Little in-between. Fascinating to watch.

Everything you said was spot on. But Antoinette Dupont is not the best rugby player you've ever seen, please bro 😭

Amongst a sea of hysteria, Squidge is the one commentator talking about England with a level head.

And to think, some people watch the good, the bad and the rugby to get their analysis lol. The inly problem with this channel is having to wait for tye next video! Its an education. The ex player pundits should be sat down and forced to watch these. Brilliant work.

the best part is, I was just thinking about when this clip will be out, and I came here and found Squidge had uploaded it. Thanks, Our habits sync nowadays.

In the last 20 minutes England had a series of 3 entries in the 22, covering roughly 10 phases. All gave away pens, turnovers or dropped balls. In not one of them did Smith actually touch the ball. All ended in mistakes at the ruck, and 2/3 started with a dodgy set-piece. I would like to see more of a desire to create opportunities for the backs. That quick tap penalty in the last 78 from Smith is a great example - born of pure desperation (as we needed 2 scores in 2 minutes). Yet no other player was thinking about going quickly and giving it a go. Similarly, we had a turnover earlier in the game, and one forward passed to another to truck it up. England have the players to play loose when it is on, but seem to lack the desire, particularly in the last 20 where the forwards seem to tired to keep up, and only Smith seems to want to go for it. I don't know if this is player decision-making, coaching tactics and strategy, or just tiredness (that blitz defence is more tiring) but it feels like we make more mistakes in play, and have less ambition during those last 20 minutes - even against NZ and Aus where we did have chances to win.

Incredible rugby brain Thank you

"Like a particularly sweaty nun" lmao nugget of comedic gold

Excellent

In any context, when has the English media not been total buffoons....

I'm a South African and a massive boks supporter but even I will say that Marcus Smith is something else. His conversions and penalty kicks give the finger to gravity. So not only can he kick effectively he make make it stylish too.

Love the fact that Cameron Hanekom will be the 52nd Bok player to get a cap this Autumn series. Rassie and Co is very conscious of the fact that the team is aging and making sure to breed new blood, but without the usual fall off in form.
