Yo! This is Will from team Squidge, just wanted to say we've both watched your videos in past and think your view on rugby is awesome. Thanks for the love on the video, it took a lot of effort to put together but I hope you learned a thing or two from it. Hope you're well man, keep up the great work.

[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

U guys are awesome keep doing what u do!

[@RareSoulTV]

Damn that’s crazy, I appreciate that! Love the effort you guys put into the work forsure 💯💯💯

[@tylaviviers]

Big respect to you for understanding that reactors are a huge way of improving the reach of rugby

[@Kinglange07]

And that's what we want the game of rugby to grow

[@granthollins7]

Bru, the depth of analysis, educated yet humerous comentary and incredible ability to convey the jist of whats going on strategically in a game has in my opinion been instrumental in promoting the game to newcomers on a deeper level - as well as providing long time supporters who like to think about the game beyond just the big hits and fancy footwork down the touch line an interesting and entertaining watch. Thank you, your work is much appreciated. You guys clearly not only enjoy the game immensely but understand and appreciate the more subtle strategies at play in almost every game. In my opinion world rugby missed out on an opportunity to utilize your passion for the game in assisting to bring new fans to the sport. Thank you also for having the perseverence to remake the videos of the RWC knockouts and final after the setbacks you experienced.

I was teary eyed for the entire Siya tribute. Squidge has a way with words, for real.

[@jobe1888]

Yes I have to admit...the one thing that stands out about the Springboks is the LOVE for team and country!!!❤❤❤ It's the LOVE.❤❤❤

[@thenomad47]

Squidge also put up a video about why Pollard is such a good knockout tournament player. It also helps give a much deeper insight into how the Bokke won the 2023 World Cup again.

[@hpmmiggie]

oh man, your understanding of the game has come in leaps and bounds. totz respect

[@douglasreed007]

I see the rivalry between the All Blacks and Springboks continues. The Baby Boks drew with the Baby Blacks in the TRC U20 the other day. Blooding the next generation of players. This new tournament should help restore Southern Hemisphere dominance in that age group once again.

[@maxclifton3534]

The world cup final is always an absolute belter of a match and squidge is a fantastic mind in the world of rugby analysis a fantastic video!

[@rittherugger160]

I agree that Squidge is awesome but, in the short bit of time since you were introduced to the game, you have gained an incredible level of understanding of it.

[@RareSoulTV]

Man I’m trying, it definitely helps to see pple who’ve covered more ground than me to see what they see and if I’m seeing the same things. Helps me feel more confident about everything no lie

That can only be the Springboks South Africa proudly

"Lekker, let's bully the shit out of them" hahah

[@cameronstuurman8280]

To answer your question. The all blacks assistant coach Joe Schmidt was the Ireland head coach at the 2019 world cup. So a-lot of his DNA was just built on by Irelands current head coach. So I believe Joe Schmidt tried to implement some of his work from his Ireland days at the All blacks

[@vaxxmanzi7023]

To attempt answering your question (around 6 minutes in ur video), The All Blacks are the blueprint of the continuity on attack. Your offloads, Loop around, etc... That's what's made NZ rugby the best for years. I'd like to think with how European rugby has developed and just gotten so much better, they structured this "new look" style, developed it to what is now which is brilliant. But the blueprint will forever be the Mighty All Blacks.

[@cobusbrits2]

AB's have done it ages ago as part of their attacking strategies. Ireland adapted it but making it their sole attacking style which is becoming cookie cutter attacks and one dimensional which cost them in the QF...

[@awcloete3137]

As a South African. I agree fully yhat this type of attack is a New Zealand type of play. As much as I hate it because South Africa is not as good at it.

[@vaxxmanzi7023]

@@awcloete3137 😂 Funny enough I'm also South African, but respect the All Blacks so much... I'm never comfortable when we play the ABs.

[@vaxxmanzi7023]

@@awcloete3137 Agreed... Although I like their game though. Kinda miss playing in the Super Rugby coz of how we benefit from their game and them from ours... But to be fair considering how rugby is setup nowadays, our move to European rugby was worth it

[@zulfabassadien5167]

The Mighty All Blacks, and they ARE mighty... just make our victory much sweeter when we beat them in the final of Rugby World Cups 🎉❤😂

[@Upemm]

Squidge is an excellent rugby analyst in field all of his own.

[@FrancoisSauer-ys3qc]

Rugby is old sport had a coach in South Africa in 70 ties that was mad in the head with wrap around ball.These athletes playing rugby have improved massively.South Africa is country that developed so called 10 man rugby last 50 years.The N.Z. teams are running with ball in hand,have however started kicking a lot last 20 years.The French used to run from everywhere,but have started to go with forewards more,English like this aswell driving ball maul ect.For me the Ausies in early 90 ties were very inventive brilliant backline players.Same with Irish.To say a certian team started this style or that style little dangerous.That is why rugby is fascinating peoples build lend them to not only certain position on field,but certain style of playing.

[@ConnorDelport-ff3dw]

Owing to the recent context of the ABs struggling to find their identity and undergoing some reform id say that they took a look at the recent success of some other teams like Ireland and adopted what they believed would suit them. Ireland have a great short pass system that is very simple and surprisingly tough to read when defending. Any smart team would look at their competition and adapt if needed

[@chadleywilliams4724]

There could be an irsih inspiration, as the ab's attack coach, joe Schmidt was thr Irish head coach before Farrel

[@WinterWeaver]

NZ's attack have always been this adaptable. I personally find Ireland's attack very predictable. They just execute so clinically that you cannot make mistakes in defence. But the AB's, and England in the Six Nations shows just how predictable Ireland's attack is. So... No, AB's are definitely not inspired by Ireland. I think that perception just came from the fact that the AB's had some struggles and what seemed like an identity crisis since the 2019 World Cup. This just made teams like Ireland "look" like they have the best attack, during a time when the AB's were just trying to ground themselves again.

[@thenomad47]

I agree with this. The Irish attack feels unpredictable for the first 20 minutes or so, but for the whole rest of the match, you can basically see exactly what they're going to do when they start up their attack. The AB's however? Yeah no good luck lmao. I have very little idea what's going to happen beyond the next 2 or so phases at best. And this is from a Bok Supporter

[@WinterWeaver]

@@thenomad47 That's exactly what I told my brother in law (he's new to rugby) when watching the NZ/IRE quarter final... after about 20 minutes I could point to every player the ball would move to, or at least the two options.... and the AB's predicted the movement as well.

[@jeanm27]

33:38 Did anyone see the knock-on from which Barrett "Scored" or it might just be my eyes which are skew... And the TMO couldn't see it?

[@KekeHimona]

It can’t have happened or Squidge surely would’ve analysed it… right?

[@adrianlouw2499]

New to your channel, really love it. Keep up the good work.

[@hlangaful]

Joe Schmidt was Ireland head coach and was NZ assistant for the WC. Now he is the Australian HC

"A plague of Du Toit on all you houses" Now that a curse that was real that day. A you are welcome to toot your own horn, with respect to how quickly you've learned the intricacies of a sport like no other.

[@nathannweyer4741]

Beuden barrett isn't retired. He just moved to Japan on a 1 year deal. He will still play for the all blacks

[@KKOPPONG]

Imagine Ireland beating the All Blacks, get to the final after beating the Boks in the pool stages then they get beaten by 1 point in the final😂…that would have been epic🔥…I would have enjoyed that more than beating NZ honestly.

[@RareSoulTV]

I’ll admit, I’ve reacted to squidge before and sometimes he over analyzes which in sports we call “analytics vs eye test” but he’s does a great job at looking at the details. His delivery and quick talking I could see as a hate it or love it but yeah leave a like tho lmao

[@shintenkai1648]

A lot of AB fans make comments like this of probably 1 of the greatest analysts of sport of our age. The toxicity that seems to seep out from all the NZ rugby pundits still crying on a daily basis since the final seems to be properly effecting their fanbase. Sad, embarrassing times for the respectable NZ rugby heads.

[@KekeHimona]

@@shintenkai1648 You are welcome to believe that…it’s your opinion However, many state within his comments that he speaks too fast and is all over the place. I am definitely not the only person who is not a fan. For me, I watch an English rugby analyst go over the matches.
