Came for the analysis. Stayed for the JVDF isn't South African comments

Ireland are confident, They gain so much speed and they are not boring to watch anymore. Can’t wait the match against France.

Hey squidge, Irish fan here, and I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done over the past few years covering the games. I hope you aren't burning yourself out striving to cover all the 6N games and also wanted to say that as an Irish fan I've never felt that your analysis has been biased against us in any way, you've always been exceptionally in-depth and often a lot less doom-saying than our own pundits. Yes, I'd often disagree with your team of the year picks, but thats as subjective as one can get. Anyway, thanks again for all the great content ;)

The Ireland vs France game is going to be an absolute cracker thats for sure. Also well done Squidge for getting this video out so quickly

I'm convinced that if Jingleberry sexbomb keeps playing until the age of 80 and Squidge can still come up with new nicknames for him. superb video !

I absolutely love the enthusiasm squidge still puts into videos. Like could you imagine any sports channel doing a recap of the game that doesn't talk about the yellow card? It would be so much easier to provide a bit of commentary or opinion about an obvious moment like that, but he always digs so much deeper to show what's going through teams collective heads and it's great.

I’m Welsh and that performance by Ireland was unreal. Wales were poor and didn’t adapt in any way or form. Ireland manipulated basically every player in many different ways in that game on Saturday. Awesome

As an Irish fan who grew up beating and getting beaten by my brothers in Mario Kart, this video hit like no other

Nice to see Ireland sticking with tradition and peaking a year before the World Cup again Edit: For people who haven't realised this is only meant to be a light hearted joke

“Tactics leaving wales as the 0.1% of bacteria dettol can’t destroy” had me in tears

Been waiting for this bad boy.

Hey Squidge, love your channel This win was revenge for not putting Furlong or any Irishmen in your top world 15 ;)

Excellent as always, thanks Squidge.

Great work Squidge! The only match analysis I like to watch as you hit the nail on the head everytime! Keep up the good work. 👍

Serious props to Squidge. We only see the end result of his videos and not the hours and hours watching the game in slow motion and analysing each passage of play. What a legend.

Don't know how even Squidge got this wrong but Josh van der Flier was born in Ireland, as were both his parents, just a paternal grandfather that was Dutch

Personally as an Irishman, I was humbled by the Girls Aloud comparison. Legitimately some of the catchiest pop ever and a very apt comparison when talking about Irish rugby of late, two high functioning machines of success.

I loved these videos last year and had to come back to watch for the six nations

Absolutely Brilliant coverage. Thank you soooo such.

I don't remember when i hit refresh button on YT so much waiting for a yt film! Love your work! SIXMAS is here

Brilliant as usual. Best analysis I've seen or heard 👍

Just came across your channel about an hour ago, couple of videos now you dropped this. NOICE

Laughing at all this "he's bias against Ireland" malark. Half of the Squidge shtick is comedy. The irony being the more people get angry, the more he'll pull the piss out of them. I'm Irish but by christ are there some sensitive fans out there. Anyways, great video as per. Bonus points for the Mario Kart crossover.

Beautiful video. Thanks , love the six nations

Great stuff. I really enjoy your videos.

Buzzing for this 6 nations series!

brilliant analysis thank you!

I love your Vids mate keep it up!

Waited for this since Saturday 🙌

This dude is equally insightful and hilarious 😂 super video and subscribed

Outstanding breakdown once again which is no surprise. I’ve watched a few breakdowns on KZfaq now and I’m amazing nobody has spoken about the massive smile of Liam Williams face when Aki scores his try. My analysis is: Liam has be hanging out with Rob Howley and put a lot of money on Aki to score first. He was so happy when Aki scored it’s not even sly. What is he thinking? Anybody know?

Great analysis - thanks !

It was my first time in a pub with welsh supporters and props to them fucking incredible lads, we may have won this match but you can never count Wales out

Josh van der Flier (/ væn dər ˈflɪər /) is an Irish rugby union player for Leinster and Ireland. His preferred position is flanker. Van der Flier is of Dutch descent through his paternal grandparents, who moved to Ireland in the 1950s to open a radiator factory.

Thankfully I'm able to feel happy for the Irish, this was a great win and they are a confident team in form. But as a Welshman what a heartbreak. I am just hoping the Welsh were just asleep today and can compete in any of the other matches.

All those years of trying to expunge aloudgirls from the memory box and in one video, the terribleness comes back. Thanks squidge. Please make a list of all of Sextons official names to cheer me up

Excellent as usual!

I'm impressed by all the people so far in the comments that understood and appreciate the sarcasm! Welsh and English dry sarcasm is easy to miss but I'm glad on the amount that picked up on it and that many could enjoy the jokes

Already here for the shot of Alex Dombrandt looking baffled packing down on the flank. And quite looking forward to seeing what you thought about *that* game 😀

Thank god for this video , restored my faith in you squidgey. until next time.

The Van Der Flier joke was top class 🤣🤣

Mate, you should do a comedy tour on this, quality content.

What a game 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Really enjoyed the games.

😂🤣 Great video... As always, Squidge! 👋👍

Brilliant as usual 👍

South African watching over here - your captions are hilarious!

It's very League-esque isn't it, the attacking patterns of Farrell's Ireland. Simple, but reliably effective for it. Great stuff as ever, Squidge! (Quick ball, committing two to the ruck (itself reminiscent of League's uncontested post-tackle form), and then a pronounced commitment to relatively simple blocker plays.)

King o the school, love these videos

For the Algo. Great analysis.... And entertainment

This is like the antithesis to two cents rugby and I love it. I shall now watch both. As an Irish person I didn't notice any digs against the Irish but thats because I tend to drift off reading the comments over your babbly fast speak, no matter. Your analysis of the NZ game was like a worship video but then threw in the smashing defeat from wc2019 for narrative. Nice touch.

Well done Squidge that must have been a painful experience

Can’t beat a squidge upload, buzzing for the Scotland match😍

How much do you work to make these videos so fast Jesus it's impressive

That’s been my biggest takeaway from this Ireland team, they are still easily a top 5 team in the world but unlike before we haven’t peaked, you don’t have so much time to figure us out before the World Cup now because we are still evolving and improving.

Bloody great video squidge - I’m sorry I’ve called you biased 🤣

“If you give them any chance to dig in, they’re gonna get their nails out… just like Girls Aloud” fify 😘

Well observed points regarding the attacking plays Ireland are running - blocker plays, block lines etc as the leagies know them. Pure RL. But as noted in the video the timings and lines run by the lead runners must be just right. The lead runners must run inwards to trap defenders. The ball carrier must play late, taking the ball to the line, and be in synch with the lead runner so the pass could convincingly go to the lead but actually goes to the trail/sweep runner. This draws defenders to both ball carrier and lead runner and prevents them drifting to cover wider. The point about the Irish 11 is well made. To be able to run multiple block shapes in the same play requires not just lead runners knowing what they are doing but sweep runners who can themselves take the ball to the line in sych with a lead etc. NRL teams do this stuff like shelling peas but they have done it since they were nippers. Not so most RU players so it takes some learning. Great to see Ireland making good progress here. To see it done super well watch NRL highlights.

Killed it yet again

Honestly if people think you’re bias, keep being bias, because you’re videos are always great.

Learning , thank you.

That’s the best explanation of Ireland’s new system I have heard. 👍

Ireland was absolutely, brutallly efficient. Can't wait to see the rest

Squidge excellent analysis again.. Being a Welsh fan your breakdown of the Ireland v Wales six nations match is a very bitter pill to swallow... But so correct... It was so inevitable since Gatland and Edwards sadly left us... Hopefully we won't be in the wilderness for to many years but until we understand how rugby is developing with all the team having great ball handling skills and controlling the breakdown, then we are going to get beaten and beaten again and again.....

Gold, as always. Genuine question: how long does the core script take, and then how long on all the gems (eg. back to Johannesburg)?

Haha see one of my comments made it in the Squidge edit 0:35 , im honoured. Hope you didn't take it wrong, I think it's hilarious how it pains you to say positive things about Ireland, the constant little digs really does remind me of a sibling rivalry. I feel the exact same, id rather beat Wales (France a close second) than England, I look forward to the match every year. So pick ireland apart all you like, it just makes beating Wales that much more enjoyable. But geat analysis of the play as always, love your videos even if ireland have to thump wales before you can say anything positive 😅

Hi squidge, good video as always. One question though when you say at 1:30 Josh van der Flier runs so far sideways its as if he is running back to Johannesburg. Are you saying he is South African? I dont think he is in any way related to South Africa. Think he might have a Dutch parent maybe hence the name but is as Irish as they come.

I lost it at Steve Borthwick, renowned nose owner. Great analysis as always.

You could tell within 10 minutes exactly what Ireland were planning to do for the entire match, yet Wales didn't have the structures to come up with any contingency plans. They knew what they'd be looking at in the second half but they were helpless to adapt. Squidge nailed it.

Loving the vids guys. Only request to help me pretend I’m not freezing here in England… Any chance of trying to sandwich some Wallabies opinion into 6 nations? Eg how would the wallabies have fared against wales last weekend? Just a thought.

Brilliant work there Squidge and yes the South African in me just screamed at no mention of Rassie amongst the coaches 🤣

As a Saffa, I unfortunately can't like the video without any clips of Rassie.

That shot at Fozzie made me chuckle

One of the highlights for me was Johnny Sexton's penalty kick against the wind, just as the ball was about to go wide the strong breeze diverted the ball over the crossbar. Whether the kick was planned, or otherwise we'll never know. I wonder does he play golf in his spare time.

So after watching these videos and laughing every time you make a Sexton joke, I thought I would do everyone a favour and write them down. Apologies for any bad spelling/Mis hearing any of them.

@Squiderugby what would be the welsh 23 you'd pick???? Pleaseeee tell us(!!) And would you change the 23 depending on the team played against?

As usual, Squidge has better breakdowns of the game than the fancy gif usage over at The Telegraph. Excited to see the England v Scotland breakdown (if it is on your schedule) since I'd like to see you bash Joe Marler for his idiotic lineout 😂

Please can we have analysis on the Scotland vs England game?

Came into the comments section to see who would bite on the Van der Flier Johannesburg comment… lo and behold it’s the highest rated comment! 😅 Squidge 100% knows that he was born in Ireland and it was just a joke poking fun at people who see a Dutch/Huguenot surname and automatically think ‘wEll hE mUsT be soUtH AfriCan tHen!’ A guy who puts this much detail and effort into his analysis isn’t going to not know something like this. Oh, and brilliant video yet again!

That was quick captain squidge

I dont think you are biased. Maybe if anything slightly bias against the Welsh, which is understandable as thats where you are from. But it does leave me wondering if there really was that little positives to take away from that game against Ireland or whether you just didnt talk about them! Keep up the great videos, 3 days is pretty quick for you, appreciated.

Im glad to see you ripping our tactics to shreds and exposing how poor we are in many aspects, with a platform as big as yours surely this will put way more pressure on the coaches to perform to the standard we know we can play

"like a hermes delivery driver" I love your videos ;)

As a Irish fan enjoyed that analysis.

Gutted the part of Tad Furlong vs Scrum half wasn’t in there!

Ian foster one was class 👏👏👏

I'm using tilt Controls!

as you know Josh van der Flier was born in Wicklow, Leinster. His surname is courtesy of his Dutch grandparents, who moved to Ireland in the 1950s.

Any Irish supporter who brands Squidge as having an anti Irish bias needs to cop on. Best rugby channel on the KZfaq .. and completely unbiased. Keep up the amazing work lad.

There's a bloke who works in my local shop who reminds me so much of you Squidge

Great love your vidos

The breakdown is lot easier when your forwards are making gain line carriers. Wales forwards were getting smashed backwards. That’s the massive point your missing.

January Superman is definitely a Girls Aloud fan

squidge needs to become a rugby coach, i feel like he could be seriously good at it.

Josh van der Flier has Dutch heritage, not South African. But part of me thinks that Squidge already knows this and is trying to rile Irish fans up.

You forgot the best move of the 6 nations so far! LRZ at the end 😂 what was the plan?

Squidge you must be a Popular reader as well.

Yes we noticed the lack of any Rassie ;)

oh, we're watching

Can someone make a count on how many different names Jonny Sexton got this video?

Van de Flier is from Greyskull not Joburg squidge... but maybe I missed the joke :)
