"And geography aside South Africa couldnt be further away from Zimbabwe" is a great line

Things you know will be brought up at every world cup: 1. Johnny's dropgoal 2. Brighton 3. Ireland's quarter's curse.

Im not sure if there is a better KZfaq analyst for any sport than Squidge right now. Noticing things a lot of professional coaches won't. God damn this was an impressive review.

Fk, Squidge. This is equal parts brilliant analysis and enthralling story-telling. A masterpiece. Well done.

Jesus Squidge, WTF? 🤣🤣as a Springbok fan, this was depressingly interesting to watch.

As a South African, I'm not even mad. We needed this humiliation so we could be properly pissed off in 2019. Keep doing God's work, my dude. Now review all the world cup finals, for Christ's sake!

Squidge, this is not a way to get a second mention from Rassie

hardest working and most brilliant rugby analyst breathing right now, how you're not working for a top club is beyond me! employing your insights would be akin to having an extra man, the rain man of rugby! AMAZING!

I love how the touch judge celebrates as he sees that final try go down.

as a springbok fan who just got this in my recommended, I'm gonna need a beer for this one

This was so incredibly well made and analysed. The time that was put into this video really shows and is greatly appreciated by all of us I'm sure.

I just love how Squidge said that this match changed both teams for the better...it truly was an introduction to a new Japan, a Japan side that was seen more as a threat and also inspired other small teams like Uruguay to do the impossible. I know Japan won that day, but the biggest victor in Brighton was RUGBY UNION.

Superb analysis. Really shows that rugby is not just a game of bash and crash but a game for intelligent skillful players (and coaches).

As an Irish fan when he said losing to Japan in a world cup then winning the next one is destiny brings a smile to my face

Finally happy to see Luke Thompson get the love that he deserves. I've been a lock or 8 most of my time playing rugby, and he has been on of the guys I like to watch and learn from.

Interesting Fact: The WiFi password in the South African Hotel room, at the 2019 World Cup in Japan. Was Brighton 1, Brighton 2 and Brighton 3. Love this Humor😂 But Because I'm a South African this seems like mind games to me😂🔥

This man is killing me😔, as a Springboks fan I endure but also enjoy this video. Mixed feelings, like a crazy ex with amazing head... On her shoulders, with an amazing head on her shoulders is what I meant😇

Much love to Japanese rugby, from a South African

Best 36 minutes for a while

watching this as a bok fan, i'm actually so happy the brighton miracle happened. japan are such a wonderful team 💕

Never expected I would be this excited to listen to a welsh man speack to me for 30 minutes

You should get an award for this. Seriously, marvelous breakdown, editing and storytelling pace. I am shocked at how good this is. Well done.

This could be your best video yet!! Your story-telling felt stepped up, and the raw analysis was the most followable for me, even as a rugby virgin, so far. You make wonderful stuff!

thing I love is literally everyone in the crowd cheering when japan score at the end

Honestly, u just make rugby so easy to understand. Keep up the great work Squigy

Simply outstanding analysis of a mesmerizing match. I still get goosebumps over that phenomenal passage of play after the final scrum decision to go for the win.

I was watching this game in SA, crowded bar surrounded by my fellow South Africans. It was a stunning game and I felt such an immense sense of love and pride for Japan during their performance. I was the only one cheering at the end of the match, getting dirty looks from my countrymen, but I couldn't care less. It was such an incredible game to watch, such a beautiful upset and it made me so excited for the future of Rugby. I have loved watching Japan play this beautiful sport, and I love what they have brought to the game. It was a superb win and I am always excited to see them play. Anata no kenshin ni kansha shimasu.

Just want to tackle someone again

Squidge, this is phenomenal! I got chills just reliving some of those moments back with you!

Squidge has the ability to make a South African shout for Japan to get in the corner! Brilliant analysis, loved it

I love the pacing of this video, heart in mouth stuff towards the end even though weve seen it a hundred times

This is so much more enjoyable and interesting than tv shows such as scrum v in my opinion - clearly a lot of work and research, amazing video keep it up :))

This was proper edge of the seat stuff and I knew the outcome! Incredible video man

Bloody hell, I spend much more time watching video essays than I do going outside and playing sport but this was genuinely a fucking phenomenal video, illustrating flawlessly the significance of this story in a way that even a complete rugby dunce could understand and a writer would be jealous of, this is a beyond-excellent channel

I was about to go to sleep but now I have to watch this whole thing

Wow, what a video! You’re an incredible rugby analysts and also an incredible content creator ! Keep it up 😁

A really great vid, with really great insights, but most importantly great effort from both teams. And how about the fact that this game is one of the greatest ever played (when it comes to drama, suspense, and payoff). Really shows how modern the rugby rules can produce amazing things, when both teams play clean and intelligent.

20:05 Best analysis of a play i've ever seen.

What an outstanding piece, many thanks Squidge.

Man. What a video. The analysis, the build up. I enjoyed every minute of it.

I'm a South-African but even I can see this stuff is pure genius! Amazing video again!!!

been on the edge of my seat waiting for the 2nd part!!! love it

Cinematic Masterpiece Squidge!

This was really brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work.

I missed this match because I was on basic training with the Air Force. This video made me feel like I had experienced the game as it happened. You could hear some emotion in your voice over towards the end and damn that hit me.

Cracking video. Best of them all so far. Was getting emotional near the end.

Fantastic breakdown. Great work. A day never to forget!

This last two videos were one emotional journey on top of a great inside in the game. Thank you Squidge

This is the single best thing I've ever seen on KZfaq, phenomenal work Squidge! Keep it up

Beautiful video man keep up the good work

Best one yet really enjoyed it. Superb.

Brilliant video, one of the best I've seen on this platform ❤️👍

Great work! Some of your best analysis ever

Been waiting for this vid for ages, this match is one of a kind

What an excellent video, the effort is truly appreciated

This game brings me to tears every goddamn time. Lovely vid, Squidge.

Great video thanks for posting. Have watched a few of your videos now and they are all interesting with good insight.

What a fantastic analysis. Thanks squidge!

Outstanding video thank you Squidge! Thank you!

Excellent videos squidge loved them both

Thank you Squidge, this is amazing!

Those hundreds of hours show and payed off, legendary video man

Such a good video. Your writing is excellent. Well done bro. I come back to this again and again.

A rugby masterclass. Thank you for what you do. One of the best for sure!

Got yourself a new subscriber. You’re videos and analysis are always brilliant no matter the time.

5 years in the making this video has been...well worth wait mate. Brilliant!

Been meaning to watch this video for a while now and just have, I love all your vodeos/analyses , but this one just felt special. And I honestly believe this is the greatest game of rugby to have ever taken place. Even to this day I can still remember exactly where I was and exactly how it felt pacing my sister living room all on my own (as I was house sitting). And im extrene gutted that we didn't get to host Japan this summer, but I seriously hope they reschedule the England v Japan games soon, because I am dying to see more of the brave blossoms.

Good guy Squidge, putting pun back into pundit! Top-notch analysis with some of the best puns. Keep on the bloody good work! Thanks a lot.

One of your best videos ever 👌 Love your stuff

I'm so glad the algorithm recommended this channel. That was a superb breakdown on how Japan won that game. I was nearly in tears when they won, and it's amazing to see the genius that went into making it happening. The Springboks got beaten by using their strengths against them in an incredibly clever way. I'm utterly impressed

Brilliant stuff as usual Squidge.

Absolutely brilliant analysis and footage. You are a genius, Sir.

i normally don't comment on your videos and just enjoy them silently, but i can't just not comment on that double-header --- that was just an awesome hour of great analysis, background information and to round things out (as expected^^) funny bits...i can only imagine how hard it is to keep the right balance, and on top of that the emotional component had me fighting back my tears i just want to say "thank you for your excellent work" representative for all other videos as well

great video as always squidge love your content

This is a bloody brilliant video, you should be proud of yourself

Fantastic piece squidge, really enjoyed this one :)

I actually laughed out loud at the Thompson evolution bit. Brilliant stuff, truly epic.

Give this man an Oscar. Funny but at the same time deeply interesting with a touching end. This is a documentary of the highest quality. I couldn't stop watching. Go go go Squidge. Thank you very much for making this.

Wow! So much interesting to watch the match with such commentary

Outstanding as always

Awesome watch, thanks mate!

Fantastic work Squidge

probably the best squidge video of all time, possibly the best rugby match analysis video of all time.

Amazing as always Squidgey!

this is my new favorite video on youtube. Not on the Squidge Rugby page but in all of rugby

goosebumps and tears by the end of the video, thank you

Another very entertaining video. Thank you!

Wow, Squidge! You are both rugby scientist and poet. Fantastic analysis and glorious story telling. I see rugby anew because of you.

This is quite simply the best thing ever on KZfaq.

Absolutely outstanding video and analysis

Absolutely Bloody Brilliant breakdown.

this legit made me cry (in the best possible way) incredible analysis as usual great touches of humour

We all love rugby but with the insight gained from your analysis we can be more in awe of its brilliance than we thought possible! Thankyou

One of the best vids on youtube

This as thrilling as it is emotional. Thank you, Robbie.

Great analysis of one of my favourite rugby memories, thanks.

Incredible review, thanks

Hey Squidge, would you ever be into covering the Japan vs Scotland match at some point?

Literally didn't move from the moment I finished the first part until the second was released. Worth waiting for. Squidge the 🐐

Amazing as usual squidge, this game gets me in my feels every time
