ICE HOCKEY FAN REACTS: How did South Africa win the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final? by Squidge Rugby

[@WillOwen9]

Hey man! This is Will from Squidge Rugby! Thanks so much for the kind words about our video! A lot went into it. Really cool to hear it's helped you understand the sport better. We're both really passionate about Canadian rugby and really hope you guys will have more to celebrate soon.

[@KTBFFH-COYB]

Mate you are a legend... I've Been a fan of your channel since the 2019 RWC... Keep up the good work I always look forward to your videos...

[@TheJunglecrab]

Been waiting for this… didn’t disappoint! Good on you for supporting guys like Eamonn

[@thepatriotsrage661]

What a LEGEND!! Thank you for making your video, as a Bok die hard and South African, it was brilliantly put together, very nostalgic and frankly very patriotic! Thank you for giving us some of our pride back.

[@EamonnReacts]

Whoa! Hey Will! Your videos have been an amazing help. Highlight videos and that sort of stuff can only teach you so much. Definitely still have a ton to learn but it's getting there. Keep up the awesome work!

[@greenplasticgun]

The amount of youtube channels taking advantage of the fact that we Saffas love nothing more than people mentioning us is something to behold. Fair play 😄

[@EamonnReacts]

hahahah. Hey us Canadians are the same way. Need one of you guys to make a channel and react to hockey. It would have half the nation watching it.

[@greenplasticgun]

@@EamonnReacts You son of a bitch, I'M IN!

[@bigpapichampagne745]

You should react to Chasing the Sun 1 and 2. Both are amazing series that go through the madness of the 2019 and 2023 RWC Springbok journey.

[@TheWhippey]

Yes please do this!!!

[@EamonnReacts]

I'm still trying to figure out a way to get my reaction up on youtube. Copyright is pretty strict on it. But it is going to be up at some point just a matter of how.

[@TheBeerification]

Chasing ths Sun 1 and 2, brother, go now check it out.

[@KernowekTim]

South Africa won the RWC again. And that is what matters to history. South Africa are benefiting hugely, now their teams are playing in the Northern Hemisphere. They are experiencing the full cosmopolitan values to be gained by playing against a multi- myriad blend of teams and cultures who have their own styles of play. One thing is for sure, "Die Afrikaner" is a very shrewd, highly intelligent and wily customer, who can adapt almost seamlessly, in order to survive. Their physicality et al has never changed; but their 'head-space' has blossomed, to compliment their power and intent. Fair play to them: They know how to win World Cups.🏴‍☠☘

So happy that you found Squidge rugby, if for nothing more, it saves me some work, I was going to post a series of comments explaining comprimises combinations and how you counter players ina game of rugby, but squidge does it far better, and it saves yuo having to read my dyslexia laden comments. the video I propose that you watch is titled s"so what did wales do to england 21 13, its a video of 2019 wales six nations win over england. Rugby is a simple game, built of complexity. In this you see how a teams strategy is built encouraging england to lean hard on what is regarded as their strength, but it is all a trap. they are doing exactly what wales want them to, and they have no idea. it very Sun Tzu, in the words of Johann Goethe, "There are none so hopelessly enslaved, as those who believe that they are free. greetings from Wales

This is also the hardest route to the world cup finals because bokke came from the death group B consisting of Ireland who is really good and then Scotland 4th in the world and South Africa 1st in the world 2nd at the time beaten by Ireland. With Tonga and romania Romania obviously got beaten bad but tonga could have messed some stuff up for bokke. Then we went against France best game ever 28-29 to SA in the Quaters. Semis vs Enland we put their effing chariots on fire AGAIN. New Zealand who have been struggling against south africa made it a nice win. My Dream is to be the person to kick it off of the field to win the rugby world cup for bokke.

[@citedcanvas85]

Mark Telia was an ABsolute menace in that final. As a bok fan he made me sweat every second he had the ball he was stepping everyone

[@ashishd380]

The 2 World Cup wins and win against the British and Irish Lions win were South Africa's best achievement in the past 10 years well worth a watch

[@thepatriotsrage661]

Awesome video mate! I absolutely appreciate your passion for something new, you will do well in the rugby world. Oh and your woofer is beautiful!! SO loveable.

[@willempretorius6700]

Squidge is on another level with his analysis. Great game

[@arthurfaulkner4239]

Don't stress about the upload regularity man, doing a video a day is crazy pace. Take your time with it and don't burn yourself out! If you want to see some very good club rugby, the semi-finals of the champions cup are coming up in a few weeks and that's the competition that draws from the top of the URC, English Premiership and French Top 14.

[@HeeniKeke]

Beauden Barret has NOT retired! Barrett is currently in Japan playing for Toyota Verblitz in the Japan Rugby League One but will be eligible for All Blacks selection on return to New Zealand in 2024 and will return to DHL Super Rugby Pacific in 2025.

[@henkjacobs2164]

The URC (United Rugby Championship) is a brilliant league to watch and follow. Some of the best teams and players represented in the URC

[@drikuslourens1854]

URC is definitely a must watch its an awesome mix of northen and southern hemisphere rugby cultures

[@gerhardcombrinck7026]

That last pass to Beauden for the try was forward-no try. Love Beauden, but no try.

[@myshepspud1]

Watched it before but here supporting bud.

You can try patron …there’s a guy reacting to chasing the sun & he posts it there…

[@rudierasmus8162]

if you want to see passion watch the springboks sing our national anthem

[@joshuajacobs2306]

The URC is a great league to start watching

[@rushdimagiet9172]

The URC is probably the second best professional league atm, behind the French Top 14. Definitely recommend watching it. There are currently 11/16 teams playing for the 8 playoff spots with 4 rounds of regular season left, so it's very competitive.

[@elvenrace2982]

React to the URC league, maybe also Champions Cup. Don’t do Super Rugby Pacific because they will block and destroy your Channel

[@tonic8945]

Winning the final was a team effort but if I had to choose an outstanding player it would be Pieter-Steph du Toit who would be brilliant as a terminator if they remade the movie.

Please watch CHASING THE SUN 1 and 2🎉🎉🎉

[@masterkay6383]

They should have won with NZ down to to 14 players. Furthermore was getting a red card warranted? hmmm. I think it’s horrible when a yellow card can suddenly be changed to a red. Otherwise the ABs would have won for sure but be assured the ABs will take revenge on this game. The ABs have beaten South Africa twice in the tri-nations with only minutes to go coming from behind and finishing with the win. The Boks were lucky because had that not happened they would not have won but there’s always a next time.

[@moimeself1088]

SA has won 2/2 RWC finals against the ABs. Jussayin. 😏🇿🇦 BTW, I'm not at all equipped to debate this topic with you. Just stating the facts. 😂

[@kelvinbrunton4780]

It would seem by this that the All Blacks lost by a hundred points. It could have gone either way.

[@johnallsopp6324]

A great game spoiled by over-zealous refereeing. Well done SA though.

[@nox6885]

Overzealous? Cane can't tackle. NZs discipline was the worst in the comp. So much so that, After the pre-world cup game in Twickenham, it was all over SA newspapers and some international ones on the ill-discipline. The Boks had some of the best. That's got nothing to do with the ref. Siya was on his way down as you can clearly see. Cane, went all out for a nothing tackle that was unnecessary. Foster just came out and said the game needs to be faster. What makes that simp think that Rassie won't adapt. It's all about rule interpretations to find the extra 1 percent. But ok cool, NZ lost because the ref favoured the Boks. Really weak argument but if that makes you sleep at night....

[@azalianieuwenhuys8844]

The refereeing standards in Super Rugby are to blame...they lulled NZ into a false sense of what the world was doing...they didn't adhere to any of the guidelines set out by world rugby by conditioning players towards the rules...and that ultimately cost them a World Cup

[@smileandwave8090]

Still.....

[@nox6885]

​@@azalianieuwenhuys8844couldn't have said it better

[@RadientZAR5749]

​@nox6885 I don't think you can convince a person like this one. The clip of the red card, even a rugby novice like me, can see it is dangerous tackling. A person can clearly see the difference between Siya's yellow card tackle and that one. There's an assumption that the ABs could have won the match if Cane never got a red card. The fact is, the AB's came back full swing after that. They could've easily won the game if the Springboks were no match. The reason they still lost is, the Boks never roll and die. They put a fight especially when they are under pressure. This ref blame is tedious. AB fans dont say anything about the goal kicks they missed. I suppose that's the ref's fault, too 😕. This match could've gone either way. It's painful to lose, but if a person is going to argue, they must use logic, fact, and brains, not stupid emotion. Maybe it's soothing for them

[@HeeniKeke]

Squidge does not like the AllBlacks. It’s obvious in other videos as well. He made big deal about the high tackle but does not show the moment before where the springbok player suddenly changed direction. It was a split second and Sam Cane didn’t adjust in time. It’s disgusting how he goes on about AllBlacks not knowing how to tackle. Furthermore, Squidge didn’t really state that NZL played 62 mins with only 14 players. Entire video made to glorify South Africa and diss NZL anyway he can

[@SherryTakhalo505]

I think you're looking at this from quite a subjective point of view. I'm assuming you're from NZ. AB played really well but everything Sqidge said was accurate and imo pretty objective.

[@MorkelErasmus]

Analysis of Sam Cane is spot-on. Also, the deliberate dirty play by the domestic violence champion Frizell to take out Bongi wasn't even mentioned - that was 100% planned and deliberate to try and get an edge in the game. NZ played great with 14 players, but Boks also had 14 players for at least 20min of the 50min the ABs had. 4 more years.

[@HeeniKeke]

@@SherryTakhalo505 AllBlacks don’t know how to tackle? Seems you haven’t watched much rugby. It’s a cheap comment he made and you know it. All who watched that game despite what country you were from know the game was 14 NZL players for 62 mins playing against 15. SA only played 14 men for approx 16 mins. Pretty major development in game he glossed over as well One bad game and some bad tackles does NOT define a countries ability to tackle!

[@HeeniKeke]

@@MorkelErasmus 1 x red card in his 10 year career. He is NOT a habitual offender and don’t try spin it.

[@SherryTakhalo505]

@@HeeniKeke He said their coaching needs to discipline their high tackles so that they don’t happen in a final which put NZ in the position of being a man down in a WC final. Basically saying they probably could have won if they took seriously the risk not just of injuring another player (which they did to Bongi three minutes into the game) but also the risk they put their own team at by the high possibility of being carded leaving their team weaker than necessary. I’ve watched enough rugby to understand how the game works and the necessity of rules like this. Perhaps you should do the same.
