So What Has Warren Gatland Done for Wales? | Squidge Rugby

- In 2007, a Wales team in crisis appointed Warren Gatland as their new head coach. In the 11 years since, Gatland has achieved his every goal, except for one: To win the Rugby World Cup. So how did he get Wales to this point, and how is he preparing his team for their ultimate test?

Good work
Lancaster? Well he seems to be doing okay with Ireland and Leinster? Two best teams in Europe and world
Love your channel also. x
It's funny how the guy who pops up at the end of Squidge videos sounds just like the guy who does the voice overs for Squidge videos. Someone should tell Squidge.

After one watch (I have to watch them all around 20 times to appreciate all the small comments) I can already tell how well constructed and brilliantly appreciative this video is of this coach. Anyone else hear that goat in the background?
There's a goat in the background? When abouts?

Oes gafr eto?
Love Warren Gatland and what he's done for Wales. When he finishes next year he will have left Welsh rugby in a far, far, far better position than when he found us. Outstanding coach and criminally under appreciated. I can't believe the flack he's come under on times, especially by some Lions 'fans' who slated the choice to appoint him as head coach. His record is sublime.
I friend hates Gatland because he took the lions job (he doesn't care about the lions), he said gatland should concentrate on Wales, even though I said we won the 6 nations without him
"Leinster were so smooth and free flowing they were legally classified as a river." That is some fine bloggery.
Excellent video. I did write to the Welsh Assembly to petition the 2nd Severn Crossing be named the Warren Gatland Bridge. It fell on cauliflower ears.
There's something very satisfying about the term "goal-kicking and screaming".
I love that clip at 1:12 of him cheering after that win at Twickenham in the RWC. Shows how much it means to him and how emotionally invested in Welsh rugby he's become. Clearly means a lot to him not just as a coach - that was the reaction of all Welsh people after that game. What he's done for Wales has been incredible. The best thing he's done is changed the attitude and mentality of rugby over here. Even if it's not as realistic as other nations, we go into tournaments now believing we can win - before we were just hoping not to be humiliated. Gatland is a Welsh rugby legend in the same way that someone like Alun Wyn Jones is.
Joe schmidt was doing the same thing since Ireland suffered many injuries against France and Argentina in the last world cup. He has cycled through many players through the squad, far more that was far more than required in a normal year. He was building up experience for the last three years as well and put them through hell engaging them in his work ethic. He was aiming for the world cup next year as well.
But Ireland aren't really a rugby nation and as a result not enough people really care!
Really made me appreciate Waren Gatland's coaching. Will definitely enjoy the rest of his term with a deeper understanding.
New video: So who should play 15 for England? Mike Brown? Elliot Daly? Anthony Watson? Alex Goode? Chris Ashton? Nick Abendanon? Israel Folau?
Adam Dickinson I thought Israel Folau was Australian
@@josephphilpin7811 yes he is... It's a joke because he references him a lot
I think that they must be a bigot
@@josephphilpin7811 www.reddit.com/r/whoosh
Adam Dickinson no Goode? Booo
Do a video on support runners in the Southern Hemisphere you said you would make a separate video on it
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
The 1014 Rugby Yea his videos are great but completely disagree with his thoughts on Folau, i mean rugby is a game of respect so we respect everyone’s beliefs as well as Folau. I’m a kiwi fan but totally disagree with how Folau is being treated about his comments. Majority of religions some of those who support rugby agree with Folaus beliefs, doesn’t mean we hate anyone god teaches us to love everyone no matter what but just cause he states his beliefs his a bigot, a racist, a homophobe. Come on guys, this is so hypocritical if I’ve ever seen one. Other beliefs are welcomed and respected but Christians should just shut their mouths. WOW.
@@chrisdavis94 If your opinions are hateful and evil, most decent people aren't going to give you a pass just because those opinions are also 'Christian'. I don't care what old book he got his garbage opinions from; they're still garbage.
Steven Hanley agree bro!
Steven Hanley Folau didn’t go out of his way to spread his beliefs, he was asked about his opinion on homosexuality and he stated it. Again we are not hating against gays, we love everyone no matter what sin they commit wether it be murder, infidelity or homosexuality, etc. Having said that it is still a sin in our belief, I’ll say it again in “OUR” belief. We are not pushing it on anyone and again rugby is a game where all backgrounds and beliefs are accepted why are we crucified. If rugby doesn’t accept Christian, catholic, Muslim and other religions beliefs like you say is hateful than why not just say it straight, if you believe in the Bible, don’t play rugby cause you will be crucified like Folau, I say bull. A quarter or almost half rugby public agree with Folau.
Wow what a coach I have never seen a better coach from our first game beaten England 26 19 to 4 six nations championship probably most of Wales are truly grateful thank gatland cymru an beth
He is the best thing to happen to us. Your outlook is fresh and welcomed. xxx
I havent started this yet, but what hasn't he done? I was so glad we got the grand slam, for his sake as a send off, but he deserves the world cup if you ask me.
Warren has been fantastic for the welsh over the years. 2011 RWC should have been his crowning glory but guess we’ll have to see what next summer brings. Great vid mate 👍
Tbh, what you speak about here is exactly how Wales just won the 2019 Six Nations.... Fair play, you know what your talking about :)
This has got me worryingly hopeful for the campaign next year, I blame you fully when it goes badly
4 months on and we’ve beaten England and are hopefully on course for a Grand Slam
All good so far
The most open RWC... My team Boks we also fancy ourselves
I mean I'm a Rugby League fan, but I find Squidge's Union videos irresistable to watch. Keep up the good work.
Yeah... and another grand slam 🏴🏴🏴
An unbelievable combination of insightful knowledge and hilarious commentary. After wave, after wave, after wave...........after wave 😂
You speak so quick and there is so much information bombarded at you that I have to keep stopping the video. I think thst makes them so good though, nice work!
What ever anyone says,I say a big thank you warren.🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️you.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
6:37 that was unnecessarily cheeky
Who else lowers the playing speed to read the subtitles
Who doesn't
How?
@@marcusf9009 Settings wheel > Speed > 0.75x if you read quickly :P
You are WEAK. Uhhh, like I am.
Personally I pause the video.
Gatland is the master,
Thanks for everything "gats", sad to see him leave , all the best
I bets Gatland to coach the all blacks next,
Honestly he would have a good chance the only reason he went to Wales was because Steve Hansen got the job over him.. he was a good coach here in NZ but at the time we have a few good coaches
Thank you, Squidge. As clear and as eloquent (and fast) as always. Thank you.
First view, Can you do a small video on your opinion on the Farrell tackle please/ like so he can see
Henry Evans i
I love the "ward four" Jonah Lomu reference 7:41
I watch this in .75 speed hahah I love these it makes me analyse the game more now keep it up!
I do that on my second viewing
That after wave segment shook me not gonna lie
Love the JLR "Ward Four" reference!
Squidge: thanks for renewing my love for the game. beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you exemplify that more than anyone i know.
Anyone not from Wales hates this guy. He’s done so much for Wales and he smashes the dreams of other countries. The kind of thing you need from a head coach
Anyone else coming back to this 4 years later with the return of Gatland?
U deserve a much bigger following because I can tell the amount of effort you put into your videos. Good job mate
We will see if this comes to fruition over the next 3 weeks.
My favourite Warren moment was not playing the bench players against the Hurricanes because he didn't want to devalue the jersey, and then devaluing the jersey by not winning.
Hopefully this will have a part 2 in 4 years time
Sweet video. Thank you. Looking forward to Wales and Australia.
Classy video as ever Squidge. These videos literally make my week when they come out
Can you do a video on connacht rugby in Ireland
grace why dont the welsh have welsh passports . they should grow a pair.
I doubt it i mean even connacht fans dont give a shit about connacht
Navi22 True, they care more about Gaelic Football and Hurling.
2007, the era best summed up by James Hook.
Fantastic video once again! Such depth to the analysis. Excellent!! Well done
Love the videos Squidge. I have to watch them a second time to pause and read the text though. Worth it as there is some funny stuff in there. Cheers Butt
Love the rugby challenge reference
That Mark Jones run would've been the best try in the world....ever
Highly doubtful Christian Cullen and Jonah Lomu tries are godly
Looked up 1014 and the video that popped up was about the depth of the 6 nations going into the autumn internationals, which is something you were talking about in this video. Just thought that would be relevant to what you said.
I can still hear the “wave after wave” even after the video has finished. Good upload as per !
Another great vid. Thank you and keep them coming.
You analysis is hilariously astute!!!!
Dear Mr. Gatland,
We're sorry, you deserved better.
Yours,
Ireland
This aged well. 😂
Recently found this channel, my god it’s amazing
Another brilliant video. Went to my first Wales game this weekend and loved every minute of it
The folau rips are hilarious!!
4:07 still love watching that play
Thanks for looking into this man I'm gonna miss gatland but in my opinion pivac is gonna be sick (hopefully) can you please make a video about how pivac can change my country's (Wales) team or how can he change their game style by looking at scarlets the best Welsh regions team
Great video on Gatland. Funny and insightful. Do a video about Ireland or Schmidt please. I watch all your vids. Great work and love the content.
Looking forward to the Bok game this weekend
We can hope #WC2019 🏴
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Great video Squidge. Look forward to the next one dude!
Just found this channel today lad but ur vids are class
You should one about Rassie Erasmus (springbok coach) one day about the new change he brought in the bok team. they seem happy now or somethign and even if they lose they still lose proud unlike the previous years where it was embarrassing to even think of the boks by their previous 2 coaches. one interesting thing was when he coached the freestate cheetahs in the curry cup (think it was between 2005 -2007 he used lights on the rooftop of the stadiums to tell the players what they should do. no idea how it works, just that it worked and is still funny thinking back to those days. love all the vids.
Lovely touch at 10:37 well played squigy!
If you’re not already, it would be great to see one of these about Joe Schmidt as he’s leaving Ireland post 2019- what he’s achieved and what his future options are(could possibly be) 👍🏻
Hahahahaha the Rugby Challenge joke!!!! I thought I was the only one
Do a video on Stuart Hogg and Scotland
Eoin Sweeney he all ready has
7:40 only rugby challenge OG’s will understand
Thumbs up purely for the Jonah Lomu rugby reference.
Fascinating as always
Squidge i have been following you vids for 6 months now and i absolutly love it...
I just have 1 question thst needs to be addressed.if jones the God of rugby is God well duane vermeulen once sat him on his arse and made him do backflips. So does that make duane a god killer??
Can you do a video on the world player of the year nominations, who you would have nominated and why, as well who you think should win it with the current nominations? Aside from AWJ of course. Would love to hear your thoughts. Great video by the way, love the increased speed you're churning them out at, keep it up!
Loved the farage stuff. Best thing ever
favourite time of the month
Best rugby coach ever
another great video and commentary.
"slotting penalties from anywhere in South America"
Wales really are impressive considering those player numbers.
Love your videos. One thing though, this 'calm heads' mentality you cite as being a staple of Gatlands legacy....really hasn't materialised at all against southern hemisphere opposition. If one thing summarises Wales' last 13 games against Australia, it's the inability to play smart rugby and know how to WIN a tight game in the closing minutes. How many of their last 13 fixtures against Australia have been lost by
I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed
I think Australia will play this game like it's a world cup final. They'll feel like they have a point to prove against us after the rugby championships.
Yeah. It may just be autumns...but a year out from the RWC during which Australia is in our group, if we can't beat THIS Australia team, at home, after 13 straight losses, then we may as well just sit the RWC out xD As much as Gatlands ' building ' is great....it's been 10 years of building now, time for actual results against southern hemisphere teams.
Agree, but one point of order: Australia haven't gone that bad. It's all relative. Rugby Championship exposes weakness ruthlessly. SA have improved enormously, competing genuinely with NZ now; NZ themselves seem to have found yet another gear; and Argentina are quietly building too. Australia will thrash Italy, and Wales and England will both struggle against them. For the reasons you outlined, I reckon a close miss for Wales and England to sneak past.
@@vonteflon Yeah absolutely I wasn't trying to do down Australia in any way. Losing to SA, NZ, and a decent Argentina has no shame attached. I was just pointing out that in previous years Wales had the excuse that Australia was was a top ranking team. This video makes a lot out of Wales being ranked 3rd in world rankings. I'm a big ranking sceptic though, and if we can't back that up at home, against Australia who are supposedly ranked 6th, then its clear nout has changed.
great vid as always! live to see one on exeter and their rise to the top
Excellent analysis
hahahhaa best one yet. Was that ward 4 maternity ward quote off some all rugby game?
I've always taken those two games in Argentina with a pinch of salt, since there's been plenty of speculation that the players themselves chose to throw that series to get Ledesma appointed as HC.
#PlausibleDeniability #IWantToBelieve
fantastic as always!
Diolch Warren🏴🐐
After wave, after wave,
Your friendly neighbourhood
After wave
6:10 best analogy ever
Whoever makes these videos. You, I like you.
Argentina has been my favorite National side since 2003, but the Six Nations has made me a lover of my ancestral Homeland (grandma is a Davies), and I can't wait to see what they can do in Japan this fall. Great video my friend.
BTW, do you happen to know what happened to the 1014 rugby podcast by chance? It never came back in America for 2019, but that loss also brought me to your channel, so Cheers!
I miss him terribly...
I think that was 38 waves the Argies threw there from 9:25-9:52. Funny.
i would like to see one of your videos about Argentina since 2007 to our days
or why guido petti is not playing at the back row
Good job, as always. But man, this Poitrenaud video twice was painful (the second time, with the 'mirror effect', I was like "oh come on man!!") ^^. One of my worst rugby memory ever.
WARD 4!!! haha Jonah Lomu Rugby love it
Not everyone in Ireland hates Gatland. He remains fairly popular in Connacht.
I hope not Bill, that's a maternity ward.
...like cattle trucks in a shunting yard
That could have put him in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
when the NH countries engage a nz coach that is when these countries really become competative - i can see why nz is the country that everybody looks to
Incredible video yet again.
your videos are phenomenal, have seen them all xx
Dude, you are simply awesome👏
