When I saw Cowan-Dickie on the wing, I was sure Squidge would have a perfectly sensible explanation involving Russell masterminding a mischievous plot. Nailed it.

Pressed the notification harder than Chris Harris pressed England’s attack

Absolutely loved the line "LCD lets his acronym down by not being the brightest" 😂

The physio analysis is why we’re here

The difference between this analysis and the rugby pod is night and day. Always learning from these videos 😅

The fact that whenever the cameras were on Fin he was always calm with his cheeky smile makes everything more comedic

Damn. It's like watching a different game. Does Squidge just see 4s and 0s? Brilliant video. You've changed my mind on the whole Smith substitution "fake" controversy. Finn Russell is a genius.

I needed that explanation as to why LCD was the last player out defending the wing. Thanks Squidge

I hate being English when we lose to Scotland or Wales, knowing a frank, honest and funny assessment is coming from Squidge. But goddamit he's right again. Fair play Scotland, you bastards.

Squid, your analysis pokes a massive finger in the eye of the TV coverage (what the hell was Rugby Special all about?), keep up the great work. Loved the insight into Russell’s superior game management, all the calls and signs not visible to the average TV viewer in real time. Gonna be a great 6 nations this year, look forward to enjoying it with you!

You know, I've seen your videos pop up in my recommended a lot but I kept dismissing it thinking it would just be like highlights basically but this was really in depth and insightful analysis. I'm really impressed, really great stuff and I can't wait to see some more now

Thanks for explaining the “quick” line out, had no idea how well thought out this plan was!

I absolutely love your analysis of Smith. He showed flashes of brilliance but there were many drawbacks too. Arguably England may have been more likely to win had Ford been starting (I understand why he didn't because experiences like this are going to grow Smith's game massively and he will be better off for it). Russell is the real deal and he's got such a complete game at the moment it is sensational to watch. He's rounded his game out since being at Racing and has such an impeccable rugby brain now. He's always had the eye for a gap and opportunity but he now also has the game management and decision making knowledge AND the complete skillset to execute so many different elements of play and it is a FRIGHTENING combination. I absolutely love watching him play. Saturday was a masterclass. Russell's level has basically made Adam Hastings' international career obsolete, because why would you ever play anybody other than Russell unless he has a beer too many at a training camp?! You've gotta feel sorry for poor Blair Kinghorn. In most eras he would be a generational talent (and his u20 performances emphasised this) but he just so happens to be in a generation that contains Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg. Today make matters even worse, he can't even secure a starting berth on the wing with competition from the likes of Van Der Merwe, Graham, Maitland and more. He's been relegated to a place on the bench and potentially not making it onto the field.

This is the only channel where i dont fastforward through the Squarespace ad

Honestly this guy needs a column in a national daily. So much better than the awful journos moaning about Marcus Smith’s substitution

Hey Squidge, this is some of the best content Ive seen from you in a while. Cant wait for next year so we can see even more world cup speculation and reactions.

My time spent learning how to Play Scotland forever on a Bagpipe was well worth it after this fantastic game

Glad someone was finally honest about Marcus Smiths performance, he's already a wonderful player and has the potential to be one of the greats but him going off isn't the reason England lost on Saturday.

From an England perspective brilliant analysis. Russell's so smart and Smith is showing that he's still quite green at test level. I'm interested to see how England move forward from this.

Brilliant analysis on Marcus Smith

I’m convinced that this channel offers the best rugby analysis on KZfaq. Absolutely superb

you nailed it mate!! Russell MotM by some distance and England while had almost 100% of ball possession and territory were blunt in attack. Impressive how clinical Sco was scoring two tries (yes, two - if LCD didnt cover the kick Darcy would walk for easy point. Smith, while is fun to watch not there yet in the terms of managing the game

It is time for Scotland Wales again. If Wales win my dad might have to sleep on the couch as my mum is Scottish. Its gonna be an interesting Saturday thats for sure both on the field and in the James household.

As an England fan it took me a few days to summon up the courage to watch the Squidge review. It's a bit like a visit the dentist; you know it's going to be painful and you might end up laughing at the same time.

It's hard to come up with a better summary of finn russell than "everybody's favourite naughty boy".

Honestly in awe of the things you notice. Great vid once again

Avid England fan but I just got caught up with this contest and enjoyed it from beginning to end, and somehow not hurting so much that we lost having been witness to a classic. Watching your analysis has given me a better understanding of what was going on technically. Well done mate , thanks for all the added value you bring to this great sport.

Fantastic video Squidge. Really top drawer again!

I just want to say you're always excellent, and so soooo glad you are able to put stuff out so quickly this year

Squidge, your analysis is so insightful and brings a whole new dimension to my appreciation of the game! Bravo Sir!

without doubt one of your best uploads. thanks for the analysis.

Amazing job! I'm glad you gave LCD a bit of a break.

I wish i had a deeper understanding of rugby, i have played it for years but watching squidge makes me realize i have so much to learn, if only so i can appreciate Finn russell more .

Such a great game. Disappointed we lost but I think England will keep growing with this new team. Excited to see Smith go from strength to strength, I just wish with the dumbass media would stop going on about him, it's cringe-y.

Comfortably one of your best videos. The layers to that Russel performance are incredible.

Thx Squidge & Co, and thank you Zander, very eloquent...

I'll happily watch any rugby game featuring Finn Russell. I search Racing 92 recaps when I need my Finn fix. One of my favourite players for sure (luckily, some of my other favourite players like Teddy Thomas and Vakatawa also play in Racing).

Amazing analysis and a quality video. Looking forward to Smith Vs Cletus the slack jawed fly half next week. Winner gets the loser's Finn Russell posters

Top quality analysis as always, the passion and effort put into these videos is different gravy 🤝

Excellent analysis. Keep up the good work.

Jesus Scotland's game plan was unbelievably clever and well-executed

That is *so* enjoyable I'll have to watch it again. Amazing work. Thank you!

Outstanding content man, Some of the things you spot is wonderful. I.e the physio. Keep it up and looking forward to hopefully a reaction to Scotland winning again Saturday.

You're the frickin best squidgy! - I can't wait to see your analysis of Irelands French scalping

Mate your analysis of the game is far superior to anything the "experts" gob off on the TV and most podcasts

Brilliant analysis, great insight.

Excellent review, always insightful. Thanks squidgey

I would have been critical of Russell in the past as a bit prone to being flakey, if also at times a genius, but that move where he did one cross-field kick at 65 mins, immediately folowed by another is his heads-up genius at its best. Superb analysis as always.

Thank you for the quick uploads

Jones’ decision to replace Smith with Ford so early on makes more sense after watching this video. It’s funny how Smith was both the best and worst player on the pitch at times

Another excellent analysis from Squidge!

Great video as always. Hadn't remotely picked up on how well Russell managed the game versus Smith!

Finn Russell seized the means. 4D chess

Thank you for this excellent analysis

The new setup must be working, great videos coming hard and fast, you love to see it

Was looking for six nations highlights and found this video never watched before...subscribed great insite.

I'm now re-evaluating Smiths performance, until watching this vid I had the impression that he'd done well. He literally scored all England's points, and it was only when he was on the field did it look like England were a threat. Now I'm thinking Scotland had a game plan for vs Smith and another for vs Ford and both pretty much worked. I don't know any more, do I need to watch the match again?

I sure learn a huge amount watching these

Congrats to Scotland. This is a question for Squidge on the last turnover which he deemed a "Perfectly legal trurnover"? To me for arms resting on the floor and knees resting on Daly so not exactly supporting his own body weight... You can see he loses his feet between 12:40 and 12:41, before he hooks it back.

Best analysis on the web, thanks for the insights

Great vid again! Although that final turnover was deffo off feet, you can see him go down onto his elbows I think. Keep up with the great content!

As a football man, I really appreciated your insight. Thanks for your free education. Great vid.

I legitimately love how much I realise how little I know about rugby whenever I watch Squidge's content! It's academic post match training session good! I felt live at the time as if Scotland were slipping away after Smith put England ahead but what do I know!?!? 😂😁 Let's get over our Wales hoodoo lads! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️💪

Dude, the analysis is outstanding. But this is the only time I've genuinely laughed at how smooth you incorporate your sponsors

Not sure if anyone else said it but regarding the physio catching and drying the ball to speed the move up, makes sense but if you watch the hooker drops that ball and uses the one the ball boy gave him so it was irrelevant

Squide deserve s to be paid well by 6 nations rugby, promotion of the game is brilliant.

fantastic as always Squidge!

Fair play, I think that’s the best analysis I’ve heard of that game.

Great analysis, thank you! I learnt a lot, not just about rugby! I now know where to find the KZfaq playback speed settings so that I can slow down those moments where your foot slips on the accelerator pedal.

This man’s rugby knowledge is superb

easily one of the best rugby analysts in the world (if not the best)

Absolutely excellent as ever!

I learned more about rugby in the first 4 minutes of this video than in the dozen or so games I have seen in my life.

Next level insight....the devil is in the detail....thought Smith had tidy game, but the onion's been peeled here.

amazing squidge - bloody love it

been looking forward to this one

Excellent. Thank you.

Absolutely love that you have just shat on all the 6 nations team of the weeks that have Marcus Smith in them

Just wonderful!

HI You usualy post great stuff, but this one was really good. I mean really. Thank you.

Fantastic commentary. I learn so much from these. Still hate the squarespace bollocks but there we are.

That was a beautiful video x

Damn I love your work.

Squidge is on it! This tag team duo are churning out quality work at an alarming rate :D

Great stuff!

Whoever editted this is a genius

Mate, been gen waiting for this for 4 days 🙏🙏🙏 the rugby messiah has spoken 👌🙌

Excellent as ever.

That last turnover he wasnt supporting his body weight, but great analysis regardless. I knew as soon as the game finished Squidge would highlight Smiths game, he gets a ridiculous amount of hype. Him, Kolbe and LRZ

So good. I enjoy these videos nearly as much as the six nations. ...nearly

If Cowan Dickie had caught that and went 95m to score, that would have been an excellent Big Lad highlight. Instead he reinforced unfair stereotypes

First timer, but I… understood that. You presented things I’ve never understood or thought of before, but I got it. Good teaching, sir.

Excellent video was so confused by the media acting as if Smith was dominating

This is, as always, stunningly good and an absolute pleasure. I would also query if Smith looked like a 'headless chook' because the speed of service from Youngs was relatively slow compared with Care at Harlequins?

Thank you

Incredible analysis as always Squidge. Wish I could see 10% of what you can! Two factual errors: (1) it wasn't Scotland's first back-to-back wins against England since 83-84 because we won in both 2021 and 2022; (2) Scotland next game, against Wales, is at Murrayfield, not Cardiff. (Scotland have alternated between Eng & Fra at home and Wal & Ire at home since before I was born I think (1978).)

I love finn Russell.

Superb video

Brilliant analysis C'MON IRELAND!!!

Also, the LCD joke had me splitting my sides! 😂😂😂
