Absolutely thrilled that our campaign to get your content unblocked was successful in the end. You are one of the superior content providers on rugby with your analytics usually spot on.

"Peter Steph commits a murder and doesn't need to hide the body because it evaporates on impact" sent me🤣🤣🤣

The way you cry for our captain makes most Saffas tear up 😂❤

Your tribute to Siya Kolisi is truly wonderful enkosi (thank you) for that. The Nod to Gareth Mason is pure class, this channel is filled with genuine integrity and great humanity 🙏🏿

so happy that world rugby woke up and realized your analysis is the best thing for the game

That superb ankle tap tackle by De Klerk in the second half isn’t spoken about enough

Commenting and liking to appease the algorithm. This masterpiece was never supposed to be pulled down. Glad it’s back up.

So this is how I will spend my Sunday night... 20:00: Chasing the Sun 2, episode 5, the final! And then, If I have tears left, Ill have 15 minutes to gather myself and then 21:15 it will be SQUIDGE!!!!! Cant wait! Thanks for all your hard graft to get this out!

Squidge saying "lekker" made my year😂😂 after next world cup he will be fluent in S.A slang

Nice one Squidge Good to have the video back on KZfaq. Justice has been done

What a trubute to Siya towards the end 😢😢😢. Nice one Squidge. Siya is our pride.

Glad you moved it from 9pm to 9.15pm. Need to gather myself after Chasing the Sun 2 final episode. What an evening it's going to be😍

Hit the notification harder than Ox Nche hits the dessert cart

Watched this the day you released it before the copyright strike and it was a thing of beauty Squidge. Your tribute to Siya at the end, highlighting how he ran to Cheslin first, was almost as emotional as the last 2 minutes of Chasing the Sun 2 Episode 4, and that's high praise because the Bongi bit in that had me in Really looking forward to watching this again, there isn't a rugby analyst (on youtube or on TV) who does it better.

As a Springbok supporter, I was as excited for this video the past 6 months as I was for Chasing the Sun 2.. Appreciate that you guys were able to give us this after the final episode and making this an absolute emotional Sunday evening in Pretoria.. ❤️🙏🏼🥳

That tackle from Kurt-Lee Arendse 👌 🔥 🔥 🔥.

I’m South African… are we the best team ever? No. Are we fortunate to fight our way to victory? Yes. Am I proud of 32 amazing guys who achieved something amazing? Hell yes. What a privilege to see my men put their lives on the line to give SA something to be proud of 🍾

So sad that this video is re uploaded. It could have been on crazy numbers by now. Anyways one love 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤

I have been playing rugby in the Dubai for 5 years now since I watched South Africa win the World Cup in 2019. After never even being to sports for 20 years of my life , I saw what they did in Japan and said I want to know more about this culture and be apart of it. Living as a South African raised in a foreign country, I never understood the allure of the sport for a nation, which even when living abroad you can tell has bigger fish to fry. Rugby has remained the strongest glue for a lot of the community. Yes even in Dubai, South African’s stop whatever they may be doing and unite in to celebrate the hope that rugby brings to our country. Personally, I have gotten way fitter, made life long friends and after a couple of rugby induced injuries, I have earned so much more respect for the warriors that wear the green and gold. This video fully captures the importance of the Springboks team and makes me proud to be striving for success in my own path. All because of Siyamthanda. (Excuse the glazing but I am definitely naming my future child after this man.)

Oh and Siya Kolisi, the greatest rugby of the captain of all time. Couldn't be prouder. We love you Siya!

Squidge, I saw you at the stadium after the final. Made a video with you and said, " Sometimes we get it wrong but squidge always gets it right" Looking forward to your analysis. Way over due.

Best Rugby Analysis Channel on KZfaq by some margin. Love the way you describe situations and your clear unbiased views and in depth tactical explanations and breakdowns. Keep it up🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

Absolutely amazing 👏 really love watching your videos ,and how big your rugby brain is ,what a tribute to the legend Siya Kholisi 🇿🇦🇿🇦

The humour, the deep analysis, the passion. Your videos are incredible and have afforded me a deeper appreciation for the sport! Keep up the good work!!

This video is why being a Squidge Patreon is worth every cent!

That tribute to Siyamthanda Kolisi ❤❤❤

Missed this the first time so glad to see it now! What a beautiful video and analysis of the game. I think you’re spot on about how important Siya’s leadership is to the Springboks success, the trust and belief seems to give them that extra 1 point. As a NZ fan, I feel like that’s what we’ve missed since the Lions tour, and we’re only just starting to get back at the RWC. Ultimately, I think the things that set the greatest ever teams from the simply exceptional is that leadership based on respect and belief, rather than fear, resentment, or a feeling of destiny. That’s what sets Siya apart from Sam Cane, Owen Farrell, or Sextriangle - “rugby values” if you will.

Thank you for an amazing rugby podcast. Thank you for honour the achievement of a remarkable human being, Siyamthanda Kolisi, the inspirational Springbok captain. May your great work continue and stay as brilliant as it is 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

A great way to end my Sunday. Siyabonga

I finally managed to purge this horrific loss from my memory and you just had to bring it up again.

"Pieter Steph du Toit commits a murder for his friend and doesn't even need to hide the body because it completely evaporates on impact." 🤣

A work of art! I always love the Squidge videos but this on the back of the original censoring by worldrugby, makes this so much sweeter with moving pictures :) As a South African I am really happy of course, but I have seen many interviews and podcast talking about Siya. This last minutes talking about Siya and his impact on not only this team, but his country and every person that sees him influence the craft, is magnificent. Thank you!!! I really hope you watched Chasing the Sun 2 and will give us your review on that as well? Thanks Gentlemen!

Squidge. You're a bloody genius. Great analysis, and your last 10 minutes showing your understanding of this team and Siya Kolisi's role is remarkable. Thanks for all the content. Cheers!

Thank you a million times for going through everything to get this posted again. Every minute was worth it! Absolutely love the mix of the emotional heart strings and the hardline analytics. Rugby is beautifully both and that’s why I can’t stop watching. Cheers!

Thank you, Squidge. Just... thank you. I watched your 2019 World Cup final as well, and it's brought me to tears both times. THANK YOU.

This video needs to get to more than a million views

It was me. I got this to come back. My pleasure everyone.

For the absolutely perfect elogy on Siya Kolisi alone, just to hear that again, it was worth the wait to see that video, finally, again. Squidge is the best KZfaqr in all of the Sports KZfaq communities. Period. The BEST! No one comes close to his unique blend of incredible in depth analysis (and making it understandable, even for a relative novice to Rugby like me, which in itself is a huge accomplishment), an abundance of quips and all sorts of fun comments, as well as his capturing the emotional side of the sport. Quality in every way! Thank you!

This is tactical poetry of the highest order

You are truly, spectacularly, unequivocally, the very best at this Squidge. absolutely love your work.

Brilliant! Thanks, Squidge. For bringing back so many great memories from the great game of Rugby! Much appreciated!

This is a humbling, blockbusting, tear-jerking and pride-filling analysis Mr Squidge. Thank you.

Brilliant video, my friend. Siya is my favorite sports figure and he likely will be for all time. A titan. A *kind* titan who leads by example and grace. I had tears in my eyes watching the post-game celebrations, the post-game interviews and well... this. Thanks as always.

you're absolute legends for dedicating this to Gareth Mason, again. thanks for bringing back some good memories. g-man, rip

I watched this just before you had to take it down...happy that you are finally able to showcase this masterpiece 🎉

The tribute to Siya was spectacular. He learnt all that it means to be a servant leader by following in the footsteps of his Lord.

Fantastic to see this video up at last...! As always, a terrific effort from both of you. Thank you!🙏 And all the best going forwards...!

congratulations! And thank you so much on behalf of all of us who have been privileged by your world class content. I cannot wait to watch this!!! So excited 🎉

I think one thing this WC final and the WC in general really highlighted, is how insanely good Jesse Kriel is. Really an underappreciated player since he has had to share the pitch with Am. Would be a starting 13 in most other tier 1 teams.

Great videos Squidge! I really appreciate your analysis, your insight and plain old cleverness. More than that I love your passion for the game of rugby, and your compassion for everyone - winners, losers, match officials, anyone who has a tough moment in the game played at its highest level. The Springboks attract a lot of criticism - balance of probability they may deserve some of it - but they are probably are the team with the biggest heart. In November 2023 I had the opportunity to attend a business breakfast with the main speaker being Rassie Erasmus and he shared some behind the scenes moments and dialogue. Certainly a highlight for me. Keep up the great content - through your passion you ignite the same in others. Glad you were able to get this video out in the end. The world of rugby would have been poorer if this hadn't been the case.

I'm a very PROUD South African ,no matter what we face in our country ❤🇿🇦

Brilliant video squidge. Wish you guys all the best in the future. Incredible to see how far you guys have come since the original video on the Ospreys all those years ago

Thanks, guys. we appreciate all the work you both put into these videos.

Squidge, that tribute to Siya had me in tears man! 😭😭

Great piece of analysis and well written. I could hear your heartfelt emotion towards the end. Beautifully delivered Rob 😅

So good to see this video back up. That last bit has me choking up again and it really deserves to be seen by all rugby fans!!

What a vid man. Well done. If you are ever in SA you have thousands of springbok fans that will be happy to show you around and host you. Cheers boys. Lekker Bly.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you ❤

I don't believe there is anyone who can be so bipartisan in their watching and analysis. As always, pure class, Squidge. Well done!

Thank you for another great video. Your videos change how everyone experiences the game, in such anpositive way. Wonderful.

This was great to watch and revisit a fantastic final, glad to have finally managed to see it. Thanks again for all you do in educating the world on rugby (and its values)

This is one of the best videos ever. I’ve never seen a video of yours so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The tribute to Kolisi was an awesome way to wrap it up

So happy this is back up - was lucky to see it about 1 hour before it went offline in November - Thanks for the blood sweat and tears that went into making this, and getting it back online again

I was looking forward for this video for 6 months. Worth every second of waiting, great job mate. Saludos desde Chile!

NICE!!!!! finally we get to see this, thnx a lot guys

Superlative work and effort in the face of idiocy, corporate bullishness and an utter lack of Understanding of what our game needs. Made sure I watched this asap just in case it was to be robbed from us again. Both of you are the Kolisi(s) of rugby journalism

Incredible analysis. Wonderful job. Watched your videos in 2019 - loved them, and was not disappointed with 2023.

Was so happy to Squidge on the Chasing the Sun documentary, finally getting some of the recognition he and his team so richly deserve. Thank You Guys.

I watched this the second it went live and now I'm watching it for a second time. Ive watched your recap of the first world cup when i have been down. You are amazing. Thanks for everything

So good to see you back! Great job as always !👍

It's truly exceptional; the depth of insight is spot-on. The All Blacks played a stale game, and they were expecting the Boks to repeat their tactics

Glad this vid is back, listened to it at work back last year. Finally got to saw it💪

You get the rugby. You get the people. We are so lucky to have Squidge Rugby, thank you so much for every single second!

Wow, you have a beautiful gift. Incredible video

This is my single favorite content anywhere in the world. Simply incredible job. All of it. As usual.

These videos are phenomenal. Thank you!

So glad we could finally see this - thank you so much!

Amazing video! Such an unbelievable achievement for making the video. Thanks guys! Amabokoboko 🎉

When the Vid originally came out i was at work, I put it on my watch later only to have it be taken down. I am so glad I got to watch this. They should have Featured you in Chasing the Sun 2. Love the Vids and Keep up the great work

This video was worth waiting for, actually, worth watching again. Rugby is such an incredible sport and you help us, passionate veterans, understand it more where we think we knew what it was about. Job well done gents!!

Always look forward to these videos !

Awesome to have you boys back! Brilliant analysis as usual. Can't wait for more

Wow... That was GREAT!!! LOVE your work.

Awesome. 🎉🎉 Really enjoyed that, please keep it up.

As usual it was a great analysis brought on by your love of the game - thank you!

Well done thanks for finally sharing that video

Great video Gents! Thanks for all your efforts!

hell yeah! im holding out hope that an New Zealand vs ireland QF is also floating in the ether

Well done guys - just hooked into your channel, looked at your analysis - insightful- have forwarded your channel to other rugby mad peeps- looking forward to your insights in the upcoming int. Tests👍

Wow! I heard the crack in your voice as you paid tribute to Siya. Incredible! I have always enjoyed your analysis. But this one mirrored the Bok campaign in that it wasn't just about the rugby. Love it! Looking forward to many more.

This has to be the best rugby commentary channel out there. well-done gents🥇

Great to see that justice was finally done and your excellent video - which took so much time and work to finalise - can finally be seen by everyone. And is here for keeps Congrats! Must concede, that I actually DID see your video when it came out, that Sunday evening all of six months ago now, and was extremely sorry it was removed the very next morning, but now I can enjoy it again! It's

Great to finally watch this video. Think I enjoyed this video more than I might have at the time of the original release, just time for it to all sink in and then get fresh reminders of what an epic tournament it was so many months later!

I've been waiting. Thank you ❤

Love your commentary dude, needed a good laugh today 😄 Well done, brilliant video.

Worth the wait. Thank you!

Your love for and knowledge of the game is remarkable Squidge. I’d love to chat to you one day. I must confess that I’m not nearly as diplomatic and gracious as you are. But well done and thank you for all of these incredible videos.

Bloody hell Squidge… you might not want it but your SA Passport will be ready for collection at your earliest convenience🤣. That statement not in any way meant to besmirch your amazing technical ability to undertake unbiased reviews, only to complement your amazing ability as a foreigner to better articulate the importance of our current captain that many of us can. Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks for a great video of the game we love!!! An EPIC RWC 2023!!! Could have gone to any of the teams from the Quarters onwards... ❤ from 🇿🇦

This was absolutely amazing, thank you. Love from South Africa.
