Rugby's STUPIDEST Brain Fades (Six Nations Edition)

[@offwithhishead2556]

In all fairness to Mr. Bergamasco, the brain fade was due to whoever decided it was a good idea to plonk him in at No:9. He did his best, but was hideously uncomfortable from the get-go.

[@DAGATHire]

Indeed, and i believe it was Nick Mallett and that stint with italy put paid to his career there after if im not mistaken. i could be wrong, just remember i think it was Mallett who was the genius who came up with that idea. To be fair tho. they literally had no available SH in the entire country

10 should've come in as well, knowing how unreliable the passes were.

[@colpy5372]

It might not seem like a big deal since they were 10 points ahead, but Dupont's mistake @3:47 allowed England to get a bonus point, they both finished the tournament on 18 points, and England were champions on greater points differential. So that mistake actually cost France the tournament.

[@31lafouine]

In fairness to Beauxis, I think it's a missed kick rather than a brain fade. Simmons and Haskell are closing in on him very fast and he kicks the ball under a lot of pressure, which explains probably why he did not find touch. I would bet that he had the intention to go for touch.

[@xrayjohnson6972]

Also an unlucky bounce

[@karlclifford1176]

Mirco Bergamaso was a good player, and it’s unfair on his legacy that he’ll be remembered for that job he did at 9. But that Jonathan Davies kick is the worst one I think

[@AndrewDavidForde]

I don't think Mirco Bergamasco will ever be remembered for the job he did at 9 given that it was his brother Mauro

[@andrewshaw1571]

@@AndrewDavidForde Alas, i fear mirko given his more striking name, will indeed have his legacy tarnished by the memory of his brothers job at 9 being misattributed to him. I normally told them apart by hair, so needed your correction.

There is an old clanger from Andy Powell v Italy (2009?). Runs from midfield sideways and eventually ends up in touch. One of the most goofy things ever.

Italy making Andy Goode look too good with that miss on the pass

[@solinvictus1234]

Bergamasco was a great rugby player but he just wasn't a N.9. Italy suffered for years of lacking players x roles, so Maller at that time adapted Bergamasco to that role.

[@MadaxOnline]

France has an unmatched ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@BigAidsIII]

Adams going "wow!" and showing a non-plussed face after being done bang to rights, and then Hogg massively trying to con the refs again after dropping the ball. What a pair of grubs.

[@hoggiegaming1749]

Remember that ROG one against scotland it was his last six nations and was a sad way for him to go

[@Weirdanimator]

I kinda loved Bergamasco at scrum-half, it was hilarious... in all the wrong ways, but still hilarious.

[@BigAidsIII]

You'll hate this, Mr Forde, but the best one was Davies kicking it straight down the field. Hearing his namesake and Butler having to deal with that on commentary ws one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.

[@luchogonzealaise3717]

To be fair on Dulin's play, France needed another try to maintain their hope of winning the tournament or something like that. I've never seen it as a brain fart, they were probably overconfident or overzealous about the extra point but they knew what they were doing. And the fact Scotland ended scoring and winning the game was just a good lesson taught.

[@AndrewDavidForde]

No they didn’t, they had to beat Scotland by 21 points which wasn’t possible. Dulin afterwards himself said he intended to kick the ball out but thought they had an advantage so took the ball in to contact. They didn’t have any advantage, so it was in fact a brain fade.

[@Shenderson3003]

A lot more context can be added to DuPont's premature kick to touch; it didn't just give England possession back, but it also indirectly won them the 6 nations

[@SkoolyAd]

I absolutely LOVE Jonathan Davis' cry of "Awwwwwwwww!" when his namesake punts the ball to George Ford (@9:58). How good are the two passes from Ford and Farrell btw? It was a brain fade from Davies but England still had a lot to do from there on...

[@alasdairduncan3]

In fairness to Hogg, that definitely wasn't a brain fade. He just seemed to have loads of butter on his hands there.

[@zee44410]

Tirnh-Duc vs Wales no pressure in his own 22 forward pass to fullback

[@blitz_3746]

Here was me wondering why the first clip was a brain fade, I had skipped to the match gameplay and completely missed the nike advert

[@PaulHolder]

Italy really missed a trick in the Bergamasco game. If they had gone with a 'dummy half' game plan like in Rugby League with short passes and runs from the ruck and the 10 at second receiver, they could have given England a hard time like in the 'Ruck-gate' game potentially changing the way the game was played...unlike the 'ruck-gate' game. Guess that is a lot to ask with a week or less to plan and practice though.

[@thecuttingsark5094]

France not kicking the ball out gave England the 6 Nations win

[@josh3184]

Love these videos! Would you be able to add a line at the bottom of each clip that explains what's happening for each instance? It's pretty obvious most of the time but there's some in here that I'm not really sure what's happening or don't recall the context around why it was a problem. Thanks!

[@svresh]

5:53 is my all time favourite. The way Hogg tries to over compensate with a terribly acted celebration gets me every time.

[@fredericgillot1976]

7:40 still disgusted by the biased Scottish television which showed only the punch of Haouas and not the eye gouging of the 8 scottish (on Haouas himself, before his punch) and the attempt of Ritchie to respond to the punch. Should have been at least a 14v14 game, or even a 13v14.

[@nialldaly9176]

C'est l'hôpital qui se moque de la charité - with all due respect, French TV directors are by far the worst at this!!

[@seanbonella]

biggest brain fade was martin johnson in dublin on wrong side, still a knob

[@stephengallagher8002]

Come late to the party. 8:50. As soon as the French hand touches the ball it is a knock on.

[@jacklav1]

I miss Brian Moore. Nobody gets angry anymore.

[@f1fantic1]

Eddie Butler very much missed

[@celticlofts]

I was shocked when I heard of his passing. He was the Murray Walker of Rugby. RIP Eddie.

[@dougthedynamo]

Russell’s one is a bit harsh, he wants to take it quick as they are worried the ref may review if Seymour was onside to chase after the kick to feed Swinson under the sticks, however the ball fell off the tee as he approached. Bit of bad luck there for me.

[@davidr4298]

Pretty sure I remember from the game, the ref was telling him to hurry up and take it as well. Not so much of a brain fade as bad luck.

[@Shenderson3003]

Yeah the water boy (Nathan Hines) told him to take it quickly, which is why he struggles to place it on the tee. Truth be told, he should've just drop kicked it over but that's in hindsight

@@AndrewDavidForde Absolutely love that

[@alexrt9255]

7:38 I don’t think it is fair to include the Haouas punch without considering the circumstances… Yes, Haouas lost his nerves, but there are reasons to explain it. There was a lot of tension during that match, and several punches had been thrown at this moment. On top of that, Jamie Ritchie had put his fingers in the eyes of Haouas on purpose… There is some footage of that moment, but it (unsurprisingly) wasn’t broadcast, as they only looked at footage of the punch. Yes, Haouas made a mistake, but it is not comparable to the other clips of this video if you put it into perspective Plus if you look closely at Ritchie's arm, you'll notice that Ritchie was also ready to throw a punch at him…

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

It's a two-parter, you need to watch the first clip which is Nike's 2011 advert proclaiming England as Grand Slam winners, only for them to lose against Ireland in the final match. It was more Nike's brain fade than it was England's.
