“Turned Johnny May into Johnny Should Have”

Spare a thought for CJ Stander, last game for Ireland and not a single fan in the stadium to cheer him off the pitch. Could see the tears in his eyes as the final whistle went. Great player, hope he gets on the Lions tour.

Here quicker than Brice Dulin presumably had to run away from Shaun Edwards after France v Scotland

Keith earls is an exceedingly fast snail

Earls is a fantastic player. Jonny May talked before the game about how good he is as a winger, properly intelligent player who’s added so much to his game. Still playing some of his best rugby. Fitting that May was the one he burned for the try. Far from a snail!

Tadgh Beirne is a master of creating fouls of opposing players. He forced English players into giving away penalties on 4 or 5 occasions and has been doing it all tournament

Can't wait for the france v scotland breakdown

Ok great video but fuck sake man give Keith earls credit. Man is the most reliable winger Ireland have and one of the most reliable in the world. Unbelievable finisher and solid defender. Put some respect on his name

“If things aren’t always going well for England they drop from being possibly the best team in the world... to a bag of shit!” Outstanding. 👏

It's worth noting that in the move where Johnnny May is drawn into the ruck by Aki, It's Robbie Henshaw that made the initial tackle on May and then it's also Robbie Henshaw who makes the brialliant tackle on Lawrence on the other side of the pitch. 3:51 He had some tournament.

A few things I learned as an Ireland fan. After 2020 I worried that Andy Farrell's heart was really in it when it came to beating England, but I'm delighted to be proved wrong. Our pack was overwhelmed by England's in the Autumn Nations, but not this time, and the difference was Iain Henderson and the two Tadhgs. We're incredibly reliant on Jwhatchamacallit Sexthingummybob, who is 106 and I always worry this will be the game he goes off for his final head injury assessment. Beyond him, we've got Ross Byrne, who is the best goal kicker in Ireland but doesn't do much else, Billy Burns and Jack Carty, who both have the skills but not the arrogance you need to play out-half, and Joey Carbery, who looks more convincing than any of them but can't stay fit for more than 20 minutes. And Keith Earls is old, small and slow, and is still Ireland's best winger, and in his eyes you can see the same stone cold evil you can see in Roy Keane's.

Earls a “snail”??! He’s been the quickest Irish player with almost a decade now

“Everyone’s favourite haunted onion” will never be bettered as a description of Keith Earls.

So glad you could get the videos up and running again squidgy, your content is unique and amazing!

You have no idea how fast I clicked on this

Love the commentary around the 2 minute mark. Brutal but hit the nail on the head! Cheers Squidge!

That snail is Ireland's 2nd top try scorer🐌

Such a great video so glad you were able to sort things with your laptop squidge!

I think Keith Earls may have watched Dreamwork's Turbo the way that snail has been performing

I feel like every england ireland game you've reviewed has mainly been about england. Although I appreciate how satisfying it must be explaining in great detail how england have lost a rugby match

The Ewels jokes are just amazing😂

Fantastic analysis Squidge, as always!

Love the videos but not sure about the comments on Tom Curry. Had a quiet tournament at the breakdown admittedly, but most dominant tackles in the tournament (any player), most tackles for England and second most carries by an English forward (behind billy v so no surprises) is a pretty strong display of his ability. Also the Irish 8’s try is surely on Cowan dickie, who leaves his post at guard at the last second to contest a dead ruck on his own try line🤷🏽‍♂️

Outstanding analysis as always mate. Thanks

Never clicked on a video so fast!

never thought i'd say this as an irish rugby fan but, i appreciate you calling our team pricks. rugby sometimes is a dark art (tadhg beirne), sometimes its fleet footed magic (keith earls). pricks we were that day and it was great!

When are we having lions squad prediction vid then??

I was waiting for you to comment on the Genge Sexton incident but I can understand why you didn't. Was just excited to see your reaction to it

In a post match interview after this game Andy Farrell described CJ Stander as "a mate forever" probably because he hit Owen Farrell a few digs when Owen was clinging onto his boot at last years six nations

Genuinely great level-headed analysis of two teams that have performed pretty damn well this six nations. So glad to see it after the clamour that erupted on both sides of the water following this game. Keep up the good work my man

Honestly, as a Kiwi I’ve loved rugby my whole life but I’ve never played so there’s things going on that I don’t understand. The best thing in my rugby education was finding Squidge’s channel. I tell EVERYONE I know that likes rugby that they need to check him out! (I’m living in the UK so I get to see all of these games before seeing Squidge’s analysis, otherwise I’d be in the Southern Hemisphere wishing Squidge lived there and covered all of those games.)

Little unfair to Ireland here I think

Boy have I been looking forward to this one 😌

Great analysis-keep it up

Wales were shocking against 14 man Ireland idk what he's on about

Laughed out loud three times at 'johnny should have', 'didn't let ford know on account of not being real' and the term 'thundertwatting it' Great video! Makes the pain of the end of the 6 nations, that bit more bearable

Honestly beating England is almost as good as winning the six nations

Hey Squidge love the content. Do you think you could have a look at Worcester and suggest how we can start winning

Thanks for al your hard work

This is a brilliant analysis, was fed up reading people's "Eddie out" comments

“On account of not being real” lol

Thank you Squidge, we love you Squidge

The fact you mentioned Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PS1 restores my hope in humanity.... If anyone can be successful in garnering some traction for that game to get a remaster.... Its you bro. #MakeItHappen 🏉

Great insights thank you!

Another master class of rugby analysis from Squidge. Looking forward to the Lions team video, think it could be one of the most balanced for a while. I think England may try their hand at Gatland but I’d imagine he will honour the pre-contract he has signed with the Chiefs to take over in 2022. I actually think Gatland could end up being the New Zealand coach 2029 when they take on the Lions.

Every 6N at their best (apart from the wooden spooners),can be the best in the world. Great video as always!!

Squidge Rugby British Irons Lions full squad selection video has to happen!

Great analyses, really enjoyed the breakdown!! Thank you C.J for your outstanding service to the game and Ireland!

"Thundertwatting" its these moments I watch you for. I've even saved that word to my dictionary lol

Ireland were brilliant and clinical. From an England fan with Irish heritage.

6:15 this was a leinster move from the 2014? or maybe 2015 season. semi final of the pro14 anyway. toner at the back down to nacewa for a try, worked exactly then as it did in this game. i wonder whether it was andy farrel or one of the older leinster players on the team (sexton maybe? or healy?) that brought it up and introduced it to the international squad.

Here I was, waiting for the Ireland Scotland review, the weirdest game of the 6 nations. The ref jumped in a ruck, a bouncy ball try and a 14 point swing that just didnt quite work out. "Why?" I thought, why would Squidge not make a vid on this game? Gotta be that bleedin Irish Bias again!!! Bloody Brits!! Sorry to hear about your laptop, fucking sucks but I'm glad it all worked out in the end for you. Top tier, RWC 2015 All Blacks level videos every time, yer a wee squidgy legend ye are

The bitterness is hilarious. Great video, from an appreciative Irish person.

Brilliant breakdown as usual well done. Thank you for the dedication. Couldn't disagree more about Eddie Jones though. What new players has he tried out this time ? Perfect time to blood younger players but didn't.

Actually Snorted at Ewells not being real. Well done

Great video. Worth considering the comments from Conan about the earls try. They weren’t targeting Ford. They had picked out Curry defended at the front of the lineout v wales, with England running a double blocker in the lineout pods. So this meant Ireland should of had free ball for Conan. But he changed his position for this game. Lead to him competing but the move still worked as the back pod can’t turn fast enough.

Love to see this kind of video. It honest not saying the usual England lost because they didn't play well rather than the team that beat them played well 👏👍

Great video as per

You had better be busting a gut on the Fra-Sco highlights. ;-) Munch and Oomph in one breath, go figure! You have nailed Tom Curry, had a colleague with eyes that close together, would have never tired of slapping it.

Yes! You slowed stuff down a bit so I can read it. I can start watching again. Thanks!

Just finished a LC English question and just seen this. Haven't even watched it and but I'm buzzing

Great vid. Henshaw played is way into a starting Lions jersey.

Very good analysis, you have a keen eye for the game. If it wasn't for our rugby team beating England and Rachel Blackmore I feel we would have experienced the most miserable of years 🇮🇪

Who knows what wouldve happened if Billy Burns found touch...

Didn't you call Ford the best 10 in the world a few weeks ago and yet here you have him throwing passes into touch

so glad you managed to get back on track and post 😁 will you be doing the women’s six nations?

It must be a month of Sundays because i’ve just witnessed Squidge complement Ireland

You can see the passion and joy at 14:12.

Be careful, you might be accused of actually liking Ireland going forward ;-) great video as usual

Any chance of a video on why Munster keep falling short against Leinster?

"Living tribute to The Scream" ! Classic Squidge :-)

"turned Johnny may into Johnny should have"- classic

Keith "The Scream" Earls ahaha, you're priceless Squidge. You'd be a fantastic live colour commentator

The title I’ve been waiting for for so long

Squidge can you do a lions team prediction video please

Limerick's living tribute to The Scream :)))

Can u make a video of who you think should make the Lions/ starting line up for SA

Thank god there is another video

I swear everytime I hear about Juniper Saxburrow I crack up

Love the Ireland videos purely to hear what nickname you’ve conjured for jingle sex flaps this time

That scene with Sexton after the credits is actually really cute

Give the guys in green some credit Squidge! I’m a big fan of your content and I use a lot of your insight to pick in form players for fantasy rugby (it would be cool to see you playing or creating a section about it) which I proudly ended 146th (my teams’ name also comes from a good old joke from your playbook on Camille Chat). But it truly takes out a lot of the pleasure every time you analyse Ireland games. Instead of praising the likes of Henshaw, Beirne and Furlong, which were undoubtedly amongst the best players of the tournament, you seriously focused more on a two phased “trap” for Johnny May (which imo is a ruck entirely composed of backs in which a centre, that could easily play as a forward, is contesting). The way England gave away penalties was completely overlooked and you spent most of the video mocking Curry and talking about the Ford-Farrell couple and Eddie Jones not deserving to be sacked after losing to all the home nations. I know as a Welshman it might hurt to admit that you didn’t deserve to win a 15v14 game, but Wales clearly didn’t play well. We get it, it’s funnier to mock players based on performance but do understand why we say you’re biased because you’re missing out on a lot of content! And yes Jabbly Sexwash was in a hell of a shape this six nations, it comes as no coincidence that when he was missing we lost to France by such a small margin, give him some credit too 😉

"A snail"???? If EVER further research was warranted...

Truly amazes me how many different names Squidge has for Jingle Sexpod

Petition to rename "parking the bus" to "parking the Julian Savea" when talking about rugby teams running down the clock.

:'( CJ ;( i hope him well. this was a great breakdown though nice

Genius! Loved it.

Johnny May. Johnny Should Have!! 😂😂 where do you get these?

I think Ireland will win the 6 nations next year, the only team that beat them really fair and square were France, and even then 7 possible starting players were injured for that game, yes Wales were brilliant but if POM didn’t get a red card in that game then Ireland could of very easily won it, if they don’t get any stupid red cards and be lucky enough to keep their injury list in check, they could very easily win it grand slam or not

9:50... ' he fails to communicate what he's doing to Ford... on account of not being real'!! im crippled!

Picked Zimbabwe to Play against Lomu - I'm onto you Squidge

Can you explain the line out 4:56 how was that legal??

WE WILL ALWASYS WAIT FOR YOU SQUIDGE! Well done Vodafone for doing the right thing!!

Yes thank you Squidge! The calls for Eddie Jones to go are far too early; it was only last year we reached a World Cup final.

It's a great analysis again. The only concerning thing for me about England is thier lack of direction when teams work them out. The fact they are so reliant on those two 10s suggests Jones has only one way to play the game. They do have some genuinely great players so I wouldn't be worried if I were an England supporter.

As always - you're on the money with your analysis.

Bloody brilliant as always. Credit due to Ireland for disrupting England and NOT that England has suddenly, overnight become shite. As much as Eddie Jones pisses me off (being Welsh) I still don't get the sheer panic bollocks in the press and at HQ at present. Eddie should stay and lets get on with the Lions tour wherever its happening.

Great analysis as always! Totally agree about Eddie Jones: any England fan calling for his sacking now either knows nothing about rugby or has amnesia. He'll build a new squad around some younger and some veteran players... Maybe we'll even see Sam Simmonds coming in as a super sub.

When will we be getting the Scotland break down from Italy and France?

Well done CJ
