I’d love if we could get a breakdown of Squidge’s talking-speed over the years.

Your description of Frizzels game had me in stitches😂. Keep up the good work fellas

The rugby fan in me when hearing NZ is back : "Hell yeah !". The French fan in me when hearing NZ is back : "Fuuuuuuuuuuck"

Clicked on this notification faster than De Allende ran after that knock on

Excellent analysis as always, Squidge. From a South African to our greatest competitor, the All Blacks, congratulations. Our matches are always epic. Massive respect. I look forward to our next meeting.

Looking forward to further Squidge. This rugby world cup is looking like the best one, thus far.

"The phrase, 'the ball is faster than the man' somehow surprisingly even applies to Frans Malherbe." 😂😂

'Bust the line like its a woman's lip'. Nicely done ....

Been watching ABs for more than 55 years. When you see all those passes sticking, no drops , the confidence to run through the other side, they're very hard to stop🇭🇲

Due to your very unbiased videos of analysing these games, the players, coaches, tactics, structures, etc, you produce arguably the best analytical rugby videos. Hence your channel being what I think and seems to be one of if not the most popular rugby analytical channel in the world.

So good from Squidge. As kiwi I really appreciate the lippy attitude re Frizal. I do believe he deserves a chance at redemption, yet in a world that shrugs at abuse I'm backing the bit of lippy....

An interesting aspect of this game is how the Boks never contested the lineouts and deliberately never pressured Aron Smith

The only channel I don't skip the ads on, it's always hilarious

Very entertaining rugby analysis channel. Basketball and rugby are my two favorite sports and its always good to see more rugby channels like this. Gonna binge your content while i wait for my hotel to be ready 😊

Pretty effortlessly actually hard to say as a saffir. But maybe the old guard should have started. either way well done NZ

The AB's kicking strategy was good, most of their kicks were regathered which is not usually the case but, conversely, SA were rushed into errors they wouldn't normally make which turned a good day into an excellent one

Always love your game analysis Squidge & was waiting for this one! As an All Blacks fan, I fear a wounded Bok team over any in World Rugby. So I expect them to be firing come the Rugby World Cup.

The first 20 minutes of that game is available on the All Blacks KZfaq channel, I'd thoroughly recommend watching it in full, it's absolutely relentless.

I Think an update is needed after last Fridays RSA 35 - 7 NZL.... God the Bok's looked devastating 🙂

Thank you for yet another excellent breakdown! Yes, we are sorely missing Handre Pollard and hopefully he will be ready for the World Cup. The tempo of the All Blacks was brutal and we will have to work on countering that better. We missed too many tackles, gave away too many penalties and were terrible under the high ball. What do you think: How many Northern hemisphere teams would survive against an All Black team that is on song like in this game?

As a Bok fan, New Zealand is the only team I can really stomach losing against. Sometimes all you can do is applaud genius when you are lucky enough to witness it. Surely the Boks will improve on this performance. Looking forward to the rematch later in the year.

Hit the nail on the head with Willemse and the importance of getting Pollard back. He is our Sexton. And the coaches know it too.

Absolutely brilliant analysis, with an element or humour and sarcasm thrown in for good measure. And yes, Grant should learn the difference between Mapimpi & Williams 😮

Great analysis my guy. Subbed Looking forward to more content 😊

Nothing is weirder to say than Boks Box Kick

Great video as always Squidge. Thank you for never failing to mention Frizzels terrible past. The fact he's able to play international rugby is a stain on the game A couple of things I'd like to add that pair with that first scorching 20 minutes by NZ. I think we saw the issue with splitting the squad, the last time we did this was before the RWC in 2019 which was when we still played Super Rugby and majority of the squad was around having decent match fitness. This time De Allende, Eben etc a large portion of the starting team were either on the comeback trail from injury or hadn't had a decent hit out in awhile due to where they play club rugby. With New Zealand executing so fast and brilliantly in that opening 20 these players were pulled apart. I'm not saying NZ wouldnt have scored those 20 points if they were fit, because they were that good but its food for thought Another point I'd raise and I know you don't like to focus too much on referees or that kind of thing however in terms of a little bit of skullduggery New Zealand was employing a cheeky tactic on the lineouts. One was to have the hooker step off the mark towards his own side, ref caught it once and awarded a free kick to SA, rest of the time he got away with it. Secondly was how the ABs blocked mauls upon the SA Jumper coming down, basically sealing off parts which is illegal too. Now it happens fairly quickly so it not being caught everytime is understandable but I'd put it down to Jason Ryans cleverness around forward play in general. These are the kinds of dark arts that if you're not being called out on by the Ref why wouldn't you employ it? Ryan now knows that 1. It works 2. That in any given knockout game his forwards can cheekily test the water early doors to see if the officials stop it. Its quite the clever edge even though it annoyed me to no end to see it happen. Before any haters call me out, Yes I know all teams employ some kind of silliness on the field like this to gain an edge, including the Boks who I do see playing the fool too

One of the only KZfaqrs I ever thought about running at less than normal speed! Good stuff.

The Boks remind me about my grandfather's John Deer tractor. Great difficulty to it start up but hard to stop the engine once it fires on all cylinders.

Hence why Manie Libbok should be the number 10. He was sublime against Australia

The experiment of Willemse in the Boks should be well and truly over. Reminds me of the Wallabies persisting with James O'Connor at 10 during the Lions series. Both talented players that have been touted for their "X-factor" but go largely missing in high pressure games when you need a flyhalf the most.

Cant wait for the updated version on this video.

One of your best vids mate, keep them coming please!

Cobus Reinach should be the Springboks starting scrum half for the World Cup. No one can convince me otherwise.

Iiiiiiincredibly insightful analysis of the game! As a South African fan who woke up to catch the game at 9am at the local pub, I swear all I saw were schoolboy errors from my beloved team and couldn't figure out why on Earth we were so poor on the day! Very very educational, watching this...

The Smith to Squarespace segue was a work of art

This a very professional review! Well done.,, It's accurate and unbiased. Much appreciated and please keep it going.

new zealand have the fastest average speed backline ever right now in the history of rugby. Dmac or mounga, jordie barrett, reiko, will jordan, narawa and our slowest player, beauden barrrett. Lucky our forwards have come right for the WC

Isn't worth mentioning that the Boks didn't contest an AB line out?

There's some excellent game analysis in here. Great video, Sqdg.

I appreciate the 25-20 typo at the start, takes the sting out for the Saffas

Squidge is the best rugby channel I’m a massive SA fan and hope we can bounce balc from this defeat

Quality channel. Quality analysis. Thanks Squidge!

from new zealand - your blessed bro - thanks for the videos

This video was so entertaining; everything from the comedic elements to the actual analysis was very enjoyable. Instant subscribe from me

With Kolbe running 50m in 4 seconds 4:20 he really ought to think about taking up the 100 metres

I have been resenting the boks lack of a worthy fly half back up since before the 2019 World Cup.

Love these! Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

As a springbok i appreciate the video. We have many things to work on. NZ will always be my second side and I hope they crush every Northern Hemisphere team in the world cup. If my boks lose then GO NZ!!!

I love these videos, they are like crack for my soul.

That kicking game throughout essentially herded the Springboks around the field like they were on a Farm

Wow, I can’t believe I’m only just discovering you. That was an excellent breakdown of the game, thanks.

Respect to our South African brothers - always fighting to the end and Squidge bro, I always have to slow yr vids down slightly to catch everything yr saying dont know if its my ears or brain lol - kiaora bro!

Great job Squidge, now I'm really considering NZ as a contender for the WC champion title, with Ireland & France. Damn it will be a good WC

Great analysis, Squidge. All is not lost, but there is a lot to be done by the Springboks should they defend their title.

8:55 i never copped it live but that no look pass by cane was gorgeous

I have one request. Please can you do one more video, this video vs how the boks changed things to beat AB in Twickenham

Grant nisbet really infuriated me when he kept calling Willemse Mapimpi mxm💀

Hang on 101 tests ABs 63 Boks 34 highest winning margin ABs 57-0 Boks 17-0 (honestly, no one compares to NZ, NO ONE.)

"Learning what Makazole Mapimpi looks like..." Welp, send a hearse, because I'm dead. Busted gut.

1 month later and the Springboks opened a can of WHOOP *** on the Kiwis 35 - 7!

In NZ, we see NZ vs SA as a battle of organisation vs chaos, power against speed. Our commentators are scared of the boks power in tight areas. But our forwards have great footwork to change the angles in their hit-ups so we run at weaker shoulders. NZ used to be the most skilful team and I still believe we are, across the park. Our hookers have the footwork of backs and our props can offload out the back of their hands. But the other teams have somewhat closed the gap. But where some teams may have exceeded is in pure athleticism. The key to beating NZ is combining power and speed. It’s why Ireland and England have beaten us in recent years. SA have also done so on some occasions.

Woah he actually did a positive video on the All blacks.

As a bokke fan I think the main issue is the locks and back row. Our whole game plan is based on physically and mentally breaking down the opponent at the break down and in tackles and slowing their ball so the backs have plenty of time to react in defence. And in attack we wear them down then spin it wide to am cheslin mapimpi and le roux. At the moment the pack is not dominant in the contact area and just genuinely look a step behind what we were in 2019 and that has a trickle down effect. Handre no longer being fit means we’re messing around with 10 too much and le roux has to take on too many things in attack and we become predictable.

Hey Squidge, your man Frizzell is back in action.

Interesting stuff. No Pollard, no Kolisi. These things matter.

Squidge can I ask why was there not a URC finale video? Would have loved to hear your take on Munster winning it

Has anyone got an updated tally on the number of world cup shots Squidge has used?

Brilliant as always Squidge!!

Why didn’t South Africa contest in the line out? Was this part of their game plan?

As a South African imho the ABs just played better and had the better strategy. The Boks were asleep during the first half. Woke up in the 2nd but by then it was too late. You cant be caught that unaware by the ABs. They will punish you and make you pay for it.

Great analysis Definitely earned a sub

Another great video from Squidge :)

Great analysis, the shorter kicks from ABs 22 immediately struck me as I was watching but I didn't pick up on the inversion where they kicked longer once inside the boks 50. FYI Frizell wasn't actually convicted - charges were dropped after he completed diversion.

I'm not reading into the ABs win too much, our boy's played bloody well against a top SA side. We had everything going right for us in that first 20 giving us a great buffer but we all know that the next time they meet it could be a different story. Can they back it up again against Australia, we should by the last results of both sides. Good luck to all in the next round.

combination of good play subtle gamesmanship forward passes and moving the lineout throw mark. All normal a good game that went the ABs way on the day.

Loved the video ; very well done. But as a kiwi I must point out that at the beginning your first slide had the score at 25-20 not 35-20. We cannot be only beating the boks by 5 points.

🇵🇹 Portugal!!! 🇵🇹Portugal!!! 🇵🇹Portugal!!! 🇵🇹 Portugal!!! 🇵🇹

What're your thoughts on the new rules being brought in for the World Cup (timing the rucks, set pieces, orsnge card, etc.)?

class as always lads

The boks purposely played Willimse to put him in the most hostile, pressured rugby environment you could possibly hope for to see how he would react. Its a big problem because it would be nice to have a place in the team for him, but its not at 10 especially as it means the team is without a goal kicker.

My favourite rugby channel by far 🤝🏾

the best 20min for the summer

That 20 minutes came down to one thing. 17 tackles missed Was shocking to watch

Learning what Mapimpi looks like 😂 Poor old Willemse didn’t touch the ball all game, at least in the commentary team’s eyes

I like how Frizzle made extra effort not to step on the defender. He could’ve and then claimed he was off balance which he was but decided to hop scotch over the defender.

Score was 35-20*

Brilliant breakdown from a bok fan. I feel the scrummage rules and interpretation from the refs regarding this is wild.

Thank you Owen bros

Go bokka, it was a game we needed to lose, so that we can understand how much we really need Handre to be fit or at least another very good flyhalf😊, we hv got this, the world cup is ours

Smashed this breakdown just like Frizell did that woman’s face! Well done mate.

Pollard not in the world cup squad is truly a nightmare 🇿🇦

I love your analysis bro.

Boks played a shockingly terrible game and the ABs did the opposite. I think the Bok squad needs a proper reshuffle

Well played All Blacks - deserved win. Just a quick question - should black 13 not have been penalised for obstruction after Will Jordan was tackled? He was running in between Jordan and the defence to allow him the time and space to get back up. 🤔 Nie heeltemal oortuig die Bokke het voluit gespeel nie, wie weet, miskien is daai ou jakkals afrigter besig om hulle 'n poep te voer - kom ons hoop maar so! 🤣

Anyone else ever wonder if this dude is just insane at rugby like the way he dissects the game but also relates it to his own knowledge blows my mind

Surely the teams use Squidge’s breakdowns in their video sessions

For Gods sake squidge quit hating on the Irish! Oh wait.

Portugal!!!!❤❤

*Really* looking forward to the "So how did South Africa silence the All Blacks? | Twickenham 2023 Analysis" video.

Did squidgy take down the AB SA preview as not anywhere. Decent after the fact but not a good anticipatory of what’s to happen.
