- It's the impossible action that captured a nation. The 2021 Rugby World Cup has been won, and it wasn't by the team almost nailed-on before things began. This Saturday, the Black Ferns completed the greatest moment in their history as they won the World Cup in front of the biggest crowd they'd ever seen. So what went wrong with the Red Roses, and how did New Zealand seal it?

Squidge, your analysis is not only important because it is so excellent, it is also important because you value authenticity and integrity and equity above views. Massive respect.
Precisely why I contribute to support this channel.
Well said!
I’m a Kiwi, so biased, but felt genuinely emotional at your final wrap up! Thanks Squidge for your excellent coverage and insights as always. 🥰
Can confirm not a kiwi and got goosebumps with that ending!
The crowd joining in for Tutira mai nga iwi brought a tear to my eye on the day, and it still does now!
I'm a Brit, living in NZ for the past 13 years, and supporting the Ferns. I too was emotional after the match and even now watching this analysis. The team has done an incredible job turning the situation around after the events of last years tour.
I am from Africa Namibia and a fan of everthing Aotearoa - it gives me hope with investemnt in womens rugby in africa we can still catch up to the best the way the Ferns turn things around from last year. i was expecting @Squidge to be biased 😃 BUt i like seeing the "overdog lose" Example Portugl beating USA to qualify for the RWC2023
That final scene is the most uplifting, wholesome and optimistic thing I've ever seen. What a nation
I said this just after the final whistle, and I haven't changed my mind. This final was probably the best RWC final I've ever seen. What a game. Thank you Squidge 👍
I think I'll keep coming back to Ruby Tui directing the crowd to tutere mai ngā Iwi as one of the most important scenes for me. We can be quiet people who often dismiss our culture, but that crowd singing together for the girls is Aotearoa and damn it brings a tear to my eye
The Balls of Ruby Tui to start that chant at the end. Girl is fearless 😂
On an unrelated note, I love the kid holding up Ruby Tui's book like it's a banner at 17:49. You cant pay for that sort of publicity.
I was emotional all the way through this game, and your wrapup just brought it all home again.
The Black Ferns asking 'What else do we need to do?' really hit me.
About time one of the most successful teams from NZ get the recognition they so truly deserve. Onwards and upwards!
My wife and I were at the game that nite , it was a awesome atmosphere, England were amazing, but our girls stuck in there to the end , I will never forget that atmosphere was out the gate , and I will say the difference on watching woman play to men being at the game was the girls feeding of the crowd, and you feel a connection with then
So proud of our black ferns , and hats of to England as well.
Thank you for the great video analysis and emotional plea for women rugby.
Well done Black Ferns and Red Roses. They were phenomenal.
A quick congratulations to France, les Bleues, for an uncompromising third place.
Well done to all other teams and amateur players who had the courage to face professional players.
Well done to New Zealand for such an impressive tournament organization.
I have watched all 6 games of France live, as early as 3:30 am. And 3 other games, including this outstanding final game.
I've never teared up watching rugby before but this game got that emotion out of me.
Thankyou squidge, for me you are singlehandedly responsible for my new interest in women's rugby.
Rugby is very complicated, keeping up to date with the mens team, their play styles, player match-ups, team balance etc. It all feels like a life long hobby, you have to watch every tournament and see a teams weaknesses and how they unearth new players etc. Your work makes that so much more accessible and the dedication to both the mens and womens game is what makes your channel so special. You're one of the first people to give both equal promotion, praise and analysis and I am so grateful that you provide a platform like this.
what a commentary, especially the final bit man! it moved me.
As a Red Roses fan, I hated the result initially, but the Black Ferns were wonderful and I'm almost pleased they won now. Great analysis, Sir, and what an advert for Rugby and for women's sport. The athleticism and gameplay of both teams was incredible.
Waited all week for this one. Thanks for covering everything!
That sing a long at the end was brilliant
Yeah. Ruby Tui brings the magic.
Squidge Rugby is my favorite rugby channel across all media and platforms. My go-to for games at the other end of the world. My go to for an independent view of New Zealand rugby and alternative to kiwi on kiwi chest thumping. I used to say All Black rugby but with the Black Ferns Red Roses playing the greatest test of Eden Park, I say New Zealand rugby. Thank you for all your Women's World Cup videos that introduced me to all the other great and amazing players wearing all these different jersies. Without that I would have known only the black ones. Many thanks for the finest rugby commentary, analysis and entertainment on the planet. Kia Ora Squidge.
Thank you Squidge for having covered this amazing rugby event ! What a world cup !
It was indeed the best rugby match I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible from both sides.
The Red Roses were clearly the better side, but being down to 14 players against the second best team in the world at home, was just 3 points too far for them to travel.
My heart goes out to the Roses. You could see how exhausted they were approaching the final lineout having had to have worked so hard to cover the missing player. They'd lost the lineout before the ball was thrown.
Congrats to the Black Ferns though, they had an impressive tournament, played some sublime rugby and showed the world just what the women's game can produce.
Roll on 2025
How were they the better team? They couldn't score any other way other than a driving maul. The Black Ferns played all the rugby.
@@DarkJonas33 Exactly and the fact The Balckferns lost one of their top players so early on...yes they lost a player (red card) but at that point they were also 14-0...The fact we scored when we had a yellow card shows with 14 players each the Balckferns still played on their level. .....You can't say they were the better team at all....what they did do is make some choices in the game that could have had a different outcome including the decisions on the replacement players.
@@BetterHumanz & @josh yet they only managed to win by 3 points..... when they had an extra player for 50 minutes of the match. 50 minutes!!
@@lost_boy How many times have we seen the ABs win with a man down against quality sides.. (when they were top not counting the last 2-3 years of decline under foz lol) If the red roses are head and tails above the rest of the world then they should have a plan b to deal with a loss of a player... Instead they stuck to their one trick pony of a maul... Also this was a winger arguably the least involved postion in a game of rugby.
@@lost_boy lol yeah you were lucky Holmes had a bad night it could have been a far larger margin :)Doesn't matter if it is 3 points or 50 points ...Now that The Blackferns have finally gone professional we will see what happens in the future.
Loved the editing...especially splicing in a couple of Black Ferns' players from an earlier side and the ad lib crowd singing.....great analysis and well worth the wait.
Absolutely spot on with your analysis. The red card significantly affected the English game plan . Well spotted also with the timing around the English throw in. The Black Ferns were up against a juggernaut and it was all these elements that amounted to an improbable victory for the Kiwis. To defend the inevitable lineout/maul/try right at the death made this a game for the ages. . Thanks for helping us all understand what the hell happened.
High quality analysis like this only adds to the legacy of an instant classic of a game.
Wow! Review, analysis, inspiration!! That was great review Squidge, got me a lil chocked up at the end there! Was a double banger win, Womens rugby as well as the Black Ferns!! Cheehoo!!
Fantastic game, and an equally great summary! I felt for England - we NZers know the pain of having our team be dominant for a long period (...well, we used to!) without being able to bring home the silverware we wanted most (see 1991-2010). The Roses always had the most to lose from that game, and that added pressure can't have helped.
To be fair the ABs have that pressure every game they play they're expected to win every game
Not to mention that early red card of course 😂🤣😂
@@jamesbong4928 it was a terribly reckless charge, no shoulder, no arms, head to head, exactly what must be rid from the game. Woodman had checked her trajectory and passed the ball, the assailant (never attempting a tackle) had to change direction to hit her.
@@TheMudwatcher - stick to soccer
@@TheMudwatcher what you on about no arms? Yes, it was a red card.
But what about the tackle on Abby Dow? Are you similarly incensed about that?
Love your content Squidge! The wrap up brings tears to the eyes.
I really appreciate the analysis you’ve done during the World Cup Squidge. I’ve been following Women’s Rugby for years now and I’m so happy to see more and more people realising how good the rugby is.
Hey Squidge, thanks for opening my eyes to women's rugby. This has been an excellent tournament, I've watched some of the best games of rugby that I've ever seen, and it would probably have passed me by if not for your videos. Great work!
Thank you Squidge for your intelligent, brilliant, enlightening, well-thought-out, funny, entertaining, analysis. Compared to some rugby channels on here (who shall remain unnamed) you are a breath of fresh air!! Bravo that man!
What a fabulous summary and the analysis of the final. Well put together and a great finish with Ruby Tui making the crowd singing Māori and Samoan songs. Never seen a rugby player done that before as men are all serious. Kapai
The highlight from the Women's World Cup was the lack of players pretending to be injured to give their team a breather like we see all the goddamn time with South Africa and a lot of European sides, it's great to have players keen to actually play.
Still hurting but what a final it was 😍 thank you for covering the tournament so well!
So glad u ended with Ruby's sing a long! For a NZ crowd to sing is a sensation, be good if tht gets used throughout games in future to lift the home team...ala the mighty Welsh lungs:)
Thank you for this brilliant analysis but also through your work this entire tournament, it's so appreciated! Unbelievably great final (the game, the crowd, the spectacle) to top off a monumental world cup for women's rugby. Respect to you for consistency in calling out how horrendously unions treat their female players, no doubt that's contributing to the change we're seeing. Cannot wait for more rugby from this channel, but do take care of yourself!
i love you squidge
I only watched the game because I saw your pre-game analysis - which by the way I think was spot on.
Playing Cleall and Kabeya from the start would have also meant that two of the best rugby players in the world, Packer and Hunter, coming off the bench to finish off the game. Having Sarah Hunter's experience in the final 30 minutes could have been the difference between losing and winning a game where the margins were so fine.
I love it when fun good rugby beats mauls
Nice one Squidge, that final commentary was special
Have been waiting for this one, so glad it's out.
I was there that day and just wow it has to have been the best game of rugby I've ever seen. on the train home I was thinking 'can't ait for squidges analysis' 😁
Awesome review! I've gone back and viewed all your reviews for the RWC21
What a summary. Subbed. Great content. Keep up the awesome work!
Genuine tears as I watched this, thank you Squidge
Watching the analysis of the Abbie Ward stolen lineout is both brilliant and utterly painful 😭😭😭
It was really the only logical thing the black ferns could do. Contest the line out or lose.
Love this breakdown. Thank you!
Stacey Fluhler to Emily Scarrett: "these are not the droids you're looking for"
Stacy blew Emily away, bloody awesome skills...
Would’ve loved to see Squidge’s analysis of the lead-up to Fluhler’s epic game-winning offload
One important side effect of this world cup- now everyone knows who Ruby Tui is
Great analysis love it.
Thank you guys EXCELLENT
Perfect for my attention span and has plenty of sit-up straight analysis, clean editing, and some giggles. Cheers and much appreciation. Now for the Mighty All Blacks to go get some
Holy Moly your videos are good!
Honestly those lines at the end were absolutely spot on
Deserved red card massively changed England's fortunes😭 Good win for NZ. Great Rugby final. Great Analysis. Hope countries make their respective teams full time professionals. Praying to see the red Roses in the 2025 Final versus New Zealand. Really need to break this hoodoo.
Beautifully said.
Damn, how do you make me so emotional talking about rugby ! 🥲
It took these women to give us what we all waited to see, dang it was the closest world cup final ever and very emotional
The end brought a few tears to the eyes
Damn bro that wrap up was beautiful
'Twas a real ding-dong battle with both teams giving everything possible. While gutted for the Red Roses, you can't begrudge the Silver Ferns their success.
And again, thanks to Squidgy for making sense of it all!
As gutted as I am to see the Red Roses lose the better team on the day won and a sold out Eden Park seeing them win will do wonders for the sport. Also I can't deny this sets up the 2025 world cup quite nicely with it being in England
The first host nation to win a RWC too. Just goes to show how incredibly amazing winning 5 RWC titles on foreign soil was. What a feeling. Thank you Black Ferns.
Take a good break Squidge, (but first please do Italy Australia)
Yes another amazing game.
Great video ❤️
Just brilliant
I enjoyed that thank you sir
In all your knowledge, in all your wonderful analysis, how is that not throwing the lift across? Shambles.
For the last segment of the game it was 14 v 14 and although you had a player red carded the result of that clash saw the Black Ferns most try scorer side lined.. The last play of the game saw the same number of players in the line out. NZ responded with the steal of the game against England’s most potent attack. An amazing game with both teams adapting tactics to suit the play !
Good video man. What game will you cover next and why will it be France vs SA (mens autumn nations)?
Really liked your analysis of how massive the impact of the red card was. The pundits on TV just didn’t want to talk about it, presumably for fear of being accused of being overly critical of the player. All they needed to say was ‘these things happen in rugby, but it was tragic that it happened to England in this game of all games’. But it became an elephant in the room and made them look odd by not addressing the big factor.
They were afraid it would undermine the fern's achievement, which to be fair it does.
@Miguel Angel by the end of the gane it's was 14 game against 14 England had so many chances to win and get tries they just decided not too and only kick for the corner
@@miguelangel3254 and also on that front we left 12 points out there due to poor kicking
Great analysis. Only thing I would say is that on the front ball, the trigger is the jumper not that thrower. Meaning that the timing being different was because of the jumper being slower not the hooker
So Will is a 0.8x speed version of Robbie.
Excellent video.
excellent
Tearing up God Damn
Best W.C FINAL EVER!! With the best outcome 🏆🇳🇿
It's tough being a runner up and it definitely was a game of ups and downs, triumphs and troughs, so exciting until the last play of the dice when our kiwi girls won, well done the Black Ferns!!
Good video. The Roses played so well most of the time and with 14 players. The Ferns had enough talent to exploit this and like you said crack the code..
Too much bro Respect!
Awesome ❤
The second the ball went out from that penalty at the end you knew it wasn't gonna work out. It felt like a bad decision the second it was made
Thank you for this analysis on our Legends! We love you Our Black Ferns x
Where is the winning try in this video?? That offload from the NZ centre was the play of the game.
Absolutely, you could make a whole video on that offload.
And the way Stacey Fluhler was clapped off the field!
@@kstringer24 And she wasn't considered as player of the match 🤬
The final lineout was Killa moment of the game,win or lose....
It’s great analysis but I’m an England fan and I’m still in turmoil. We have been building for this for five years and we’re back at square one: second best team in the world, arrrrh!
@@DarkMoonWayfarer hi, generally I’m pleased with the progress the game has made. The Black Ferns are a fantastic team, a joy to watch and France and Canada are looking good. Now we need to get The US and Aus to come to the party and we have a real international spectacle on our hands. But this was our golden opportunity and we bottled. Still love them tho’ 🥺
Daym the new mic set up is making you sound silky smooth, 🤤
Should have showed Stacey's offload - that was a great try
Yes, and she should've been named player of the match. She showed determination, made key tackles and great runs. And that smile....😍😍
Guess they shouldn't have concussed our best attacking threat so badly she can't even remember the game then, ey?
...tatou tatou e!
New mic is great btw
The fact the next World Cup is in England should help build the sport nicely.
Do you have a podcast? Would love to listen while at work
Ruby Tui: Tūtira mai ngā iwi, AUE! Tātou tātou e :)
It was a very nice game
Thanks for giving such great coverage to womens sport :)
New mic sounds great! Just needs a pop shield.
Enjoyable video as always, and it was a good game to watch. Women's rugby is in a really great place right now and it should rightly be celebrated.
But, we do need to talk about how referees were handling head impacts throughout the tournament. We don't want every game to be reduced to 12 against 13, but player safety needs to come first. This was probably the only game in the whole tournament where a player would (rightly) be given a red card for a head clash like Thompson's. It felt like in almost every game referees were desperate to avoid giving out red cards, several times to the point of flat out inventing mitigation, and so I think the Red Roses were unfortunate to be on the receiving end when a referee suddenly decided deal with them properly. Doubly so that the referee then didn't send off Simon later in the game for what looked to be a more serious head collision (I thought Nigel Owens' analysis of that one was spot on).
But it was a really close game even 15 against 14. I think 15 against 15 the Red Roses are clearly the much better team, but sometimes these things happen.
Nice
Wow, 6 (from 7) rugby world cups for nz women now i believe. And they have only this year gone semi pro!. Outstanding fearless play to run from as many opportunities as possible, great for the game to see running rugbyvprevail over 1 dimensional pushovers which frankly are the bain of the sport. Eng deserves respect for their winning streak as they showed it a hard thing to combat. Lets hope other teams follow nz lead and promote running the ball.
Englands won 2
England scored a lot from the maul this tournament but to call them one-dimensional is ridiculous, not least after the way they scored the first try of the final.
If they played the way New Zealand fans think they play, we wouldn't have seen Kildunne's try in the final, or either of Dow's tries against Canada. We wouldn't have seen MacDonald score four tries in the opening game and England wouldn't have scored any tries against France.
Nice ✊
your pronunciation of maori and pasifica names is better than most kiwis'. ka pai!
In the end it came down to the Auckland spectators and the legendary mana of Eden Park. This Park has its own spirit it is NZ hard, we will it, trust it and rely on it. The whine new this and responded. It has our spirit.
Cokayne and smuggle, that’s a joke I can get behind
