This is one of the top Squidge one-liners of all time.

I choked on my coffee. Note to self, no eating or drinking when watching Squidge....

Too good!

Classic.

The fatality comment is interesting as deaths of professional athletes are up 60x on normal years. Why would I mention that? Henry Slade is a diabetic. All cause deaths from blood clots, heart attacks and strokes are now at record highs. We are told this is variously because of global warming, lockdown anxiety, lockdown bad diets, generalised sadness all of a sudden, etc. anything but the vaccines. Slade is a diabetic and for that reason he said he was wary of a new untrialled vaccine. Squidge has to take the mick out of him for that. Never lets his politics go. Well yes the leftie luvvies are arguing that the unjabbed should be segregated and starved (Noam Chomsky) the NIH director wants them brought to justice, Bill Gates wants them facing criminal charges and now Europe wants a two tier society with the unjabbed criminalised as a result. Into this sudden demonisation of people who are different from us wades Squidge, loving the opportunity to exhibit prejudice wherever he can. Neither irony nor awareness seem to be Squidges strong point.

Autumn Nations has been a revelation for an Aussie who typically only follows the Wallabies. Even though I can’t catch any of the games live, it’s been a great product

Would still prefer if it wasn't just the Ireland games in channel 4 tho

Better, well more enjoyable than the World Cup? Seems like a different type of rugby.

@@stevenleighton1947 but the stakes arnt as high, it doesn’t mean as much

Agreed. The tier 2 trio of NZ, SA and Aus did quite well

I’m sure you guys have a few rugby skits up the aul sleeves! Maybe Squidge could proof the scripts?

Seeing you in April (hopefully) FAH!! Love your work

The cross over I never knew I needed ! My two favourite KZfaq channels ahah.

I love you guys, keep it up!!!

@@BrendanGuildea The analysis would be off the charts

i dunno if id say argentina are irelands alternatives though everyone else i get it though

@@higuk999 99 07 15... any of those WC games ring any bells. I mean yes if you look at current form and state of both sides, but you have to seriously look at the intense rivalries around these games (Italy doesn't yet have one with Uruguay in Rugby yet). Honestly I expect the men in Green to roll the Pumas but stranger things have happened like when they got that win over the All Blacks themselves last year.

What a weekend!

Ireland and South Africa are alternatives, France and all blacks are alternatives, Italy are Argentina alternatives, and yeah I guess wales are Australia

@@finn54123 the teams don’t dominate the same way in their respective competitions. France and Ireland like the top 2 teams and Aus like Wales 🤔.

@@oonaght2201 That’s the spirit!

@@StiofanGaillimh be a lot different than just a one off test buddy and you know it but ok

@@MrBannajo calm down hard lad 😂

@@pityfool23 oh dont get me wrong not taking anything away from the Irish they totally out played us and they have done 3 times out of 5 now just saying that three tests in our backyard be a bit different to a one off in yours mate

I’m sadly agreeing with you…

Reminded me of O’Brien vs Scotland 2015 some player

As in a Dorris Day?

@bobbler42 Oh I was at that game and it was beautiful freezing cold that day my tea froze after 2 mins in Croke park that 09 game vs France was a turning point for us. Heaslip had that beautiful run.

Thank you! And watching aussies games l, being neutral, was as frustrating as a WC quarter final to an Irish fan… you’re dominating most of your games except for discipline!

Great comment. Spot on

The only problem is that the refs are really inconsistent - there were quite a few high shots on the ABs that weren't even looked at

as an All Blacks fan we just have to suck that shit up, nobody cares when it's against the All Blacks. Well, I mean, I'm not the one getting smashed by 250 lb monsters so it's easy for me to say sitting here on my couch haha

As soon as you stated you were and Australian supporter the accent in my head used to read your comment switched to Australian. It was amusing, thank you.

Yes but he’s spot on about the speed of ruck ball

true

True fan and rugby lover spotted!

Why does he never do it when we win?

@@canesno1fan probably cause we are expected to win most of the time

@@clutchxgene8477 Haha, true. I'd still like to see Squidge do a breakdown of how we do it, I love his analyses

Come on Ireland!

It'll be fun for someone anyway. I'm really hoping Ireland can come up with the goods, but I'm not too hopeful. The all Black's will be in the mood to avenge themselves and we might be a bit tired and out a few players due to injury. Honestly I'd be happy be three nailbiting losses. ... Well but happy exactly, but I'd rather see us lose some friendlies and come in to big games with a bit more focus and determination.

@@eldricgrubbidge6465 : Oh you doubting Thomas.. Shame on you. 🙂

As a Saffer, Ireland seemed to have a perfect game on a perfect day. It all came together for them. But you make your own luck, so well done to Ireland, one for the books.

As an irish fan, i appreciate it. Was a cracking game of rugby. Loved how gracious the kiwis were after. Its easy to raise your game when playing against NZ. Just look at how the french played yesterday! If any team goes on the pitch assuming they will bear NZ though, yikes that is when you lose by 40.

Yeah we were lucky to get a way with a scoreboard that flattering. I think possibly Ireland would've beaten anyone that day, they were just that good

In other words, they were better.

He absolutely thrives when used like this, I think we've not been using him right at all which just means we hide his offensive strengths while highlighting his defensive weaknesses. Give him this roaming role and he slams - sidenote, I think Zebo could be brill at this too O.O

@@eod97 you had me until you mentioned zebo 😂

As hard as it is to stomach his arrogance and disrespect (I know you are from NZ mate, but is the reason you chew gum during the Irish national anthem because you don’t know the words?), I need to watch him a bit more. I’m not sure that he is the full package, or how he reacts when the team is down and the pressure is on, but he did have a top game.

I think Squidge's criticism of him pinching in is unfair. It was a 3-on-1. He's getting rinsed no matter what he does.

@@Amandla-Awethu what? How do you know the commenter’s from New Zealand? And why’s he arrogant?

Me too and yes I have watched it slowed down to catch it all and read the text.

Try x2 speed - no need to go clubbing :)

@@Mickmooreable Are we just getting old Mick?

and about 160 or so of their total tackles came in the first half

I actually rate France as another team that can upset the ABs - my two favourite teams to play each other TBH, the games are always exciting.

@@AgentMoray we haven’t played in so long so it’s hard to say, but I think cos the two sides play such a similar brand of rugby, all blacks will take the dub, just cos they’re the kings of running rugby. But if France changes their game plan and just does what every one else seems to do and slow the game down, then they could pull it off. This comment might make me look stupid, but we’ll see in 12 hours

@@finn54123 may the best team win and may the fans get the kind of running rugby I hope for :)

No need to be scared now Ophelie - fantastique, Allez les Bleus!

Well that did not age like Irish whiskey!

If that's the case surely you were wondering what took him so long to mention it? 😉 I was but it was perfectly placed in hindsight

You actually need to buy a rope bridge?

me too haha
