New channel is a great idea. Lots of people want to hear your opinions before and after big games without needing to work yourself into the ground trying to do in depth videos on every game like previous tournaments

More squidge rugby sounds fantastic, but PLEASE don't burn out lads. Loved the content you've put out recently and will happily wait if I have to

thanks so much for your analysis It really has opened up many aspects of the game that i would never be able to decipher

Wow. You guys are incredible. By far the best analysis of the game and styles of play I have heard about this game. Insight much. Thanks

More Squidge Rugby is always hugely appreciated! Btw, you can link to your other channel on your main channel.

This guy has to get an honorary doctorate - Squidge knows his rugby! 🏉

As a Bok fan I have to say this is great analysis of both teams. Gonna be a belter.

Thanks for recording a typical, everyday lunch discussion between you two.

It is the team that wears green against the other team that wears green. Go greens!

Whats the ONLY thing better than SQUIDGE RUGBY? MORE SQUIDGE RUGBY!!!

Thanks for a great discussion. Love to hear your views and analyses before a game, which really help us get better prepared for the relevant game. And how great that you are both on it. Good to remind the crowds that Squidge is both of you!!!!

the crowd is going to be insane.

Thanks squidgy. As an ireland fan my dread for this series was overtaking my excitement. You guys switched those round in the last 30 mins Also kudos on not making result predictions. Just looking forward to the game instead of the result.

The only thing more relentless than Kwagga Smith is your production team 💪Much love from SA

Think this will be a 1-1 series. I'd love for the Boks to win both but Ireland is such a good team that they will win one. Just hope both games will be thrillers, clean and that there will be no controversies after the game.

As an irishman i can tell you the expectations for an ireland win in south Africa are very very low. Leinster and munster had a disappointing season, yes ireland won the 6 nations but the loss to England hurt as much as the quarter final world cup exit. The irish players need this series like a hole in the head. Where the boks seem to have an endless stream of players coming through Irelands strength in depth is very much lacking and so we are seeing the same players line out time and time again, and this will go against them tmrw. The boks are on a mission to get a win over ireland for the first time since 2017, ireland will lose both games here.

Squidge rocking the Wellington Lions shirt, I see you... (Also Squidge saying "for all you kids watching at home" shows he's slowly turning into a boomer commentator 😂)

Honestly, as an Irishman I can’t see South Africa losing this tomorrow. Ireland and Irish teams have very much been in the post-World Cup blues this season. All of the teams, from provinces to national side, have been below standard and the mix of continuity and less changes has kind of meant that there isn’t a feeling of a clean break for a new era. I like that Andy Farrell is experimenting with Jamie Osborne at fullback but honestly wished he’d go even further and blood other players. South Africa to win by 12

Soo excited for some international games this weekend 🇿🇦 good luck to all the teams

The two of you work well together, great idea. Well done!

This is golden analysis. Love it

It is not often that I will sit through a KZfaq video watching two guys just chatting. You guys are brilliantly well informed and knowledgeable. Truly love this. Thanks

Andrew Porter cannot scrum when the ref is on his side, Youll see that every scrum penalty Ireland win, the ref is on the tighthead side. Porter hinges outwards and drills in, when the ref pings him for it the irish scrum struggles

As Rassie said, he didn't expect to win 2019, was focussing on 2023 - I still don't think they've reached their final form

I like this rugby theory crafting podcasty format. I shall be More Squidge Rugby'ing too. This is fun!

i know it isn't the fashionable take right now, but i'm almost more interested to see an improving england team play scott robertson's new zealand. absolutely epic weekend ahead

Love this podcast style analysis video. Maybe try to do a live stream of this to cover the whole weekend of rugby. Will give a chance to interact with fans as well. Also helps with the pressure of getting in depth videos out on time. Great jobs guys keep it up!

Great work on the review. Springboks by 11.

Keep up the good content love it!

Prefer this kind of Squidge rather than the manic

This game will be very different from the one they played in the WC. The absence of Sexton, JGP and Keenan is massive. But this is still a class Ireland side. Then the Boks trying to evolve their game with the likes of Brown, will also change the dynamic on attack. Just hope they managed to shake the rust against Wales, because they will have to be sharp to beat the Irish.

You know whats even better than Squidge Rugby? More Squidge Rugby

Kinda love this format Squidge. Really cool!

Enjoyed this format glad you’re going to do more. Meant in the most constructive terms, audio needs a bit of work if it’s going to be regular though.

First time I’ve watched you guys, loved it! I have always been put off by your intro. Anyway really interesting podcast, think you picked out loads of good points on both sides. Just hoping Jamie Osborne handles 15:ok and doesn’t feel out of his depth. Thanks ☘

_Jerry Flannery's come in. Who obviously has an amazing rig_

This is South Africa that's all I can tell you.....

Incredible analysis as always

Love the new format guys

Something that stood out to me from the wales game was the boks willingness to run against the grain. Go infield then suddenly turning out to look for gaps between drifting defenders. Tony brown has mentioned taking pollard back to the type of gainline running flyhalf from his early days but I suspect he wil be offloading right before contact to a forward pod who wil change their impact point as well. It looks like the boks won't try to outsmart the opponent but rather mentally fatigue them by constantly changing the picture and offering so many possible scenarios that defenders need to think more to the point where the physical fatigue and mental fatigue leads to performance loss.

Squidge Rugby content is always bang on!

Lovely to see Jaguardo hasn’t been forgotten

Wow...as a Bokke and rugby supporter you are amazing at reading teams and the game. Prediction for the series 2-0 in Bokke favour. VIVA AMABOKKE VIVA X 4 world Champs...VIVA the G.O.A.Ts...in the same breath as a Southern Hemisphere team supporter respect to Ireland as worthy adversaries

rugby is rugbying

Thank you Robbie and Will. I love this format as much as the drtailed video thank your

You had me at more squidge rugby ❤ 🏉

Thank you Squidge Rugby ❤

21:51 That kid’s version of ‘Ireland’s Call’ was phenomenal!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 And that’s coming from a South African BTW

Thanks for dropping this an hour before the exit poll squidge. Very tactical 😂😂

5/7 of the Irish world cup backline not playing is mad to think of. Tough few weeks ahead I suspect

You know a hell of a lot Squidge!

Sqidge, own it...We are here for you I love your unbiased tone

this is the best analysis iv seen

Ahhh, more rugby! Looking forward to a entertaining, enthralling match. My hope is that there isn't any wierd-o officiating and both teams get to play w/15 players throughout the match. *I am baised towrds SA, but only by a squidest of margins.

Very insightful 👍🏻

Big respect to my guy rocking the Kendrick Lamar Big Steppers Tour tee 🔥

Dankie Squidgy! 💪🏻🤙🏻

well balanced discussion here keep it up chaps

Go Squidgy !!!!

One thing you didnt mention is a sold out loftus… the crowd is going to be crazy. For Ireland to win they must try silence the crowd and deal with the altitude. Not going to be easy.

Great content ❤

Interest to come back to this after the fact. The 'team that does all the attacking vs the team that does all the defending with a great set piece'. Not sure which way round they were in the Loftus encounter but it was certainly not that cut and dried.

Had to take a double take. Wellington lions jumper is a nice touch. Wellington College old boy here.

Ireland going in as underdogs. Fine by me.

Squidge has still got that lockdown trim

love the lions jersey btw

Absolutely love the Wellington Lions jersey. Let’s go!!

Love this

Had to stop while watching this, when you got to the Jamie Osbourne part, and say how great this is. More squidge and a good overview. Will still love the bells and whistles videos but this is amazing. All killer, no filler. Unlike some other channels cough big jim rugby pod cough and any of the irish channels

Onya mate!

It's Rrrassssie not Razzzie, c'mon Squidge. I won't even mention Kwagggga as you do! ;-)

This one is going to be absolutely brutal.

Big fan of that Ospreys scrum cap.

Squidge Rugby such a good analyst. South Africa should take him on as a consultant. Such a great insight into the game of Rugby. Hope Springboks win tomorrow. Cheers from Durban, South Africa.

Duane Vermeulen was an absolute game changer for the Boks over the years on defense and the breakdown. But not only that, he was a game changer when it mattered most. His contributions were timed to perfection. We owed him so many wins from last minute turnovers, great high ball takes or dominant hits. Roos just cannot offer what Duane offered and there's an argument that even Kwagga doesn't offer the same set of skills (His lack of aerial game). But Kwagga is the best possible replacement for Duane at the moment. Maybe Hanekom in the future.

This guy's is great with data and analysis. I'd hire him if I was a rugby coach. 👌🏾

The Springboks at Loftus is a different animal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ireland catch a hiding.

I think you guys are missing how average Leinster was against the Bulls. Porter was in trouble. It will be interesting to see whether they are able to step it up a gear and then how they handle the bomb squad. Also, we may go 7-1 if Faf doesn't recover. Big game for Sasha. Love the Tony Brown analysis and the Ireland Fullback analysis. Very good. How about a cross over podcast with @sarugbymag boys?

the curse of the squidge preview

Great vid. But whens the Glasgow vid coming😂

Hey mate, I love your content. If possible, could you invest into a better mic set up ? Much love,

Wearing a Wellington Lions jersey? Good man!!!

I got my tickets this is gonna be box office🔥

Totally agree, it’s very hard to see Ireland winning if the Boks can disrupt the breakdown

I think Ireland would have the edge, if the game was played at any venue other than Fortress Loftus. I have never seen so much raw emotion at a stadium for just a normal Bok game. But a game like this, it is going to take things to another level.

If you really think that the Irish scrum can out scrum the Springboks then you are living in la la land. Ireland is going to have to find another way because the scrum route absolutely will not work out.

Rassie Erasmus!!! Sign Squige as an analysis. 😮😅

Squuiiiiiidge!❤❤❤

You guys are excellent, but careful.not to take ok too much!! Irish and frankly my own wish with this game is that the outcome is still.in the mix with 15mins to go. Reckon is SA today.

On the passing of Casey, he definitely has the Skip pass, Casey is right there with Aaron Smith as the best technical passer in the world

Go Ireland!

This is going to be more than just a July test match. The hype around this is insane.

Winter clash for us BTW.

South Africa is using more Vertical attack with their backs!! France was the boss at doing this but looks like SA have added this weapon to their arsenal and are perfecting it

omg they killed tipuric and stole his cap

rebuilding Hugo Keenan in the aggregate

Come come guys, you have to put your necks on the line with predictions 😂

Ireland have a relatively new 9 & 10, couple that with playing SA at home - is hard to bet against the home team.

I love Kwægha!

Do you guys have barbers close bye.😂😂 Its a mini Victor Matfield and mini Frans Malherbe. Again the BBC must get you into their analyst team. Its brilliant analysis. Go Bokke and go Southern Hemesphere! Great rugby weekend ahead.
