we went on a 3 game rugby tour to Georgia 🇬🇪 and got our arse handed to us. the size of those guys is something else. got pissed with those players after, great host, lovely food. Nothing but respect for those guys.
Love watching the Georgians play. Their game is improving well and their passion for the game is awesome. Also, Mamuka is an absolute cult hero of the game!
Awesome video, detailing the immense potential of Georgia. Would absolutely love to see them in the Six (Seven) Nations. Similar to Argentina in the RC; they'd probably take a year or two to find their feet, but would definitely eventually get to the level of regularly beating Italy and possibly France, plus occasionally causing an upset against the others. All the best Georgia! Love, an All Black's fan.
Awesome video. I lived in Georgia for a short while, those clips were a nice reminder of the places I saw. Much passion for rugby out there.. be great to see them become more established
There is a slew of talented Georgian backs coming through the youth ranks. They will take Georgian rugby on another level during next 5 years. Some of them could make an impact already in Japan.
Xc Force the under 20 World Cup team had a lot of talented backs, particularly the halfbacks Asprisidze and Abzhandadze. They beat Ireland, Scotland and Japan this year. I reckon within 5 years those current under 20s will be beating some of the senior tier 1 teams.
welcome you come and not necessarily for rugby you come with your family with friends georgia will surprise you with its hospitality of a very ancient history rich and unique culture with delicious food and special wine
Well I'm from the part of Georgia were we play Lelo and last year nobody died, it was the year before when 1 man died and it's was the first time in the recorded history. Video was great
As a Portuguese I saw many battles between my country and Georgia, and as you said it is an amazing team, for some years now nothing out of T1 countries can stop them, even this year that Portugal is playing much better we couldn't touch them, they deserve a promotion and it would be grate for European Rugby to extend to at least 8 teams with promotion/ descent from REIC to 6 nations, creating this way a kind of European cup.
Vincente , I'd like to see something like this England Romania Wales Italy Russia France Georgia Spain Ireland Germany Scotland Belguim Teams in the higher and lower tier play against each other once while Italy and Georgia from the Mid-tier, well Italy as the higher seed could play three teams from the Higher Tier and two teams from the Lower Tier and Georgia would play two teams from the Higher Tier and three teams from the Lower Tier, thus giving every teams five games , we could also have a sixth weekend where Italy play against Georgia and followed by a Grand Final as the teams from the Higher Tier would not have played against the same teams, the position of the higher seed in the mid-tier could be reviewed every two years and the lower seed in a play-off against the likes of Romania, Russia or Spain etc and likewise the bottom team from the lower tier should play-off against Portugal or the Netherlands ,thus giving every nation a chance to move up the ladder
Love your videos. Please keep posting as you already have the world's best rugby channel bar none. I've already watched every single one except the Welsh one because it's Wales and who cares, right.. ;) and the Georgian one is a gem. I love Georgian rugby and when they scored against England for the first time, I raised a toast. And I'm English!
Great video, I became a fan of Georgia in the 2007 RWC, I really, really hope they best Italy in 3hrs time. They have a test winning record of +90%, over the last decade... up there with the ABs.
Thank you so much for such a great video about our country, this will definitely get a lot of attention and will benefit us, thank you for such a hard work and research with such an entertaining value.
Thing to add to AJ MacGinty's prowess, yes he grew up in Ireland, but his father was the principal of one of the rugby feeder schools for the Leinster Squad, Blackrock College, and so he attended school there, learned high quality rugby from an early age, then pissed us all off when he went to the US instead.
Mate excellent video - awesome. You could even afford to slow down some of the captions a little bit lol... I’m a 37 year old scrum half and struggling to keep up 🙈 oh well I’ll just have to watch it again. And again and again lol what a great little video man! Really well done!
I asked and you delivered - hallelujah and bless you Mr Squidge. Patreoned as well of course. The Tier II nations are where it’s at. Can we all go as Squidge fans to Japan to watch our teams and let the Tier I do whatever the hell they were going to do anyway? I’d join the Squidge caravan. As long as South Africa win everything.
I know it’s not something you probably particularly care about but if you could take a look/ make a video about how hard we are working here in USA to try to grow the game of rugby and the professional league that has started up here then it’d be super awesome
Really happy to see the USA getting better in rugby and much respect to you guys trying to grow the game in an already saturated sports market. It would be great to see a Rugby Championship style competition with USA, Japan and two or three others, maybe Canada, Fiji, Samoa or Uruguay. The Eagles definitely have the potential to cause some upsets at the WC 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Oh dude oath. Theyre absolute units. Im islamder myself so a big bloke isnt new to me, but gosh those blocks look like theyd crush jawbreakers in their hands
I think a promotion/relegation playoff between whoever finishes last in the Six Nations and the winner of the European Rugby Championship should be introduced. It's vital that teams such as Georgia, Spain and Russia get to challenge the Tier 1 nations as this will raise standards across the board.

Thank s dude i m Georgian
You forgot to mention the wine ....
Fantastic video. Looking forward to seeing teams like this grow in stature in the next decade or two.
I don't know why but i have always had a soft spot for georgia in rugby and i know many others do. So happy to see a video on them.
შენ გაგიმარჯოს ბატონო.
Instantly improved my day.
Love watching the Georgians play. Their game is improving well and their passion for the game is awesome. Also, Mamuka is an absolute cult hero of the game!
I’m so gassed someone did a video on Georgian rugby and it was my favourite rugby channel ahahahah best day!

Mamuka Gorgodze's reaction to being elected MotM versus the All Blacks will never cease to warm my heart.
Always waiting for that Squidge notification!
The level of research you put into these videos is class keep it up
There is a slew of talented Georgian backs coming through the youth ranks. They will take Georgian rugby on another level during next 5 years. Some of them could make an impact already in Japan.

@@georgewood4388 and in 2022 those guys beat italy and wales!
If Wales ever face Georgia, in Georgia, I will 100% visit, looks like a beautiful and passionate country
welcome you come and not necessarily for rugby you come with your family with friends georgia will surprise you with its hospitality of a very ancient history rich and unique culture with delicious food and special wine
Well I'm from the part of Georgia were we play Lelo and last year nobody died, it was the year before when 1 man died and it's was the first time in the recorded history. Video was great
This is clearly the best rugby analysis video I've seen all year!!! excellent work (& no doubt an editing nightmare to compile & write!)
As a Portuguese I saw many battles between my country and Georgia, and as you said it is an amazing team, for some years now nothing out of T1 countries can stop them, even this year that Portugal is playing much better we couldn't touch them, they deserve a promotion and it would be grate for European Rugby to extend to at least 8 teams with promotion/ descent from REIC to 6 nations, creating this way a kind of European cup.
Saudações da Geórgia!
Vincente , I'd like to see something like this
England Romania
Wales Italy Russia
France Georgia Spain
Ireland Germany
Scotland Belguim
Teams in the higher and lower tier play against
each other once while Italy and Georgia from the
Mid-tier, well Italy as the higher seed could play
three teams from the Higher Tier and two teams
from the Lower Tier and Georgia would play two
teams from the Higher Tier and three teams from
the Lower Tier, thus giving every teams five games
, we could also have a sixth weekend where Italy
play against Georgia and followed by a Grand
Final as the teams from the Higher Tier would
not have played against the same teams, the
position of the higher seed in the mid-tier could be
reviewed every two years and the lower seed in a
play-off against the likes of Romania, Russia or
Spain etc and likewise the bottom team from the lower
tier should play-off against Portugal or the Netherlands
,thus giving every nation a chance to move up the ladder
Should have said Vicente that a Grand Final for the top two teams from the Higher Tier as some may have played against Georgia and some against Italy
Bloody hilarious. I spit my dinner all over the kitchen table laughing so hard at IT MUST TREND

There's a game called The Ba that is played twice a year in Orkney in Scotland which is exactly the same as Lelo, still played
+
There was something similar in every county in Ireland there was caid
I'd love to see Georgia become a powerhouse of union.
Same! Georgia's one of those teams that everybody loves
Made me think about getting a ticket to see that Georgia Fidji game now ! Great stuff as always Squidgy
Great video, I became a fan of Georgia in the 2007 RWC, I really, really hope they best Italy in 3hrs time. They have a test winning record of +90%, over the last decade... up there with the ABs.
Thank you so much for such a great video about our country, this will definitely get a lot of attention and will benefit us, thank you for such a hard work and research with such an entertaining value.
So happy you’re first ever video popped up in my recommendations, I’ve watched every video, and each one makes my day! Keep in working my man!
How have I only discovered your channel now?! Thanks for the content, it's excellent!
This was such a great video!! Informative and funny but also will have me paying a lot more attention to Georgian rugby in the future!
Only just found your channel. I am quite enjoying watching rugby videos from a Northern-Hemisphere perspective.
Like Afghanistan in Cricket
I love seeing Minnows/underdogs Develop Quickly
Do a series where u talk about every team their chances for the rugby world cup
Nice channel. Only follow rugby casually but love the insight. Your passion is good for the growth of the sport.
Wow, you've done your homework, man, so informative! Love from Georgia
Would be amazing if you could make a video like this for EVERY nation that's playing in world cup next year.
Brilliant video mate!
I finished that one in under half an hour - a new personal best!
Thanks Squidge
This is the only channel on RUclips that I slow down. Most others I speed up
Squidge, please do a recap of the rivalry between the All Blacks and Springboks like only you can
The world needs you
Good news everyone. Gorgodzilla is back!
Great video mate! Love the odd topics, keep them coming.
Absolutely brilliantly researched video, excellent stuff
I could watch this 17 times and still see new stuff in it. My puny brain cant keep up with all the split second info to take it
i feel dizzy :D its so fast my brain feels like boiling :D
I watch it once, then watch it once on 0.75 speed and pause to read things, gives me a full hour of entertainment on a 20 minute video
man your channel is great.
1:01 Argentina here, we just use try like everyone else, never heard anyone call it something different
3:04 my old school, Auckland Grammar's, astroturf field. Good choice of clip Squidge.
Great video. Love your stuff!
There’s a game VERY similar to the traditional game of Lelo that’s played in Orkney once a year called ‘The Ba’ and it’s hilariously mental.
Thing to add to AJ MacGinty's prowess, yes he grew up in Ireland, but his father was the principal of one of the rugby feeder schools for the Leinster Squad, Blackrock College, and so he attended school there, learned high quality rugby from an early age, then pissed us all off when he went to the US instead.
Mate excellent video - awesome. You could even afford to slow down some of the captions a little bit lol... I’m a 37 year old scrum half and struggling to keep up 🙈 oh well I’ll just have to watch it again. And again and again lol what a great little video man! Really well done!
such a good vid mate!!!!
Great job I had no idea about lunacharsky and Haspekain and I'm native Georgian. Great job thanks a lot :)
Very informative and funny as heck!
man this guys video's are amazing - i hope he's planning a future in coaching!
Watched twice this twice. Once at normal, then another at .75 speed. Slower helps pick up the joke in the text. Squidge is a funny guy.
Consistently excellent. Thank you
Absolute ninja level of analysis on all your videos. Love it. What speed do you recommend watching your videos so we can read all the hidden gems?
Excellent video! The Six Nations needs promotion and relegation. Georgia have been knocking on the door for a few years now
'Writer, Marxist and rugby fan: my ideal woman' :DD Great content
I'm subscribed to 157 channels on youtube. This is the only one that I turn the notifications on for.
I asked and you delivered - hallelujah and bless you Mr Squidge. Patreoned as well of course.
The Tier II nations are where it’s at. Can we all go as Squidge fans to Japan to watch our teams and let the Tier I do whatever the hell they were going to do anyway? I’d join the Squidge caravan.
As long as South Africa win everything.
So much i did not know about the Georgians, Awesome video but South Africa's National sport is also rugby
That 07 World Cup win against them felt like a loss, we were so bad felt and so sorry for Georgia I wouldn't mind if we just gave them the victory
Fantastic, insightful, genius, thank you.
“ Oh hai tackle! “ totally lost it there.
I did not hit her off the ball, I did not! Oh hai tackle!
Great videos! You should do one on south american rugby teams, such as chile, uruguay, brazil
I know it’s not something you probably particularly care about but if you could take a look/ make a video about how hard we are working here in USA to try to grow the game of rugby and the professional league that has started up here then it’d be super awesome
everything has to be about america
Well... the world is round & the States (I guess) are it's type of Epicentre
Really happy to see the USA getting better in rugby and much respect to you guys trying to grow the game in an already saturated sports market. It would be great to see a Rugby Championship style competition with USA, Japan and two or three others, maybe Canada, Fiji, Samoa or Uruguay. The Eagles definitely have the potential to cause some upsets at the WC 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Patrick Orth Don’t Forget NSCRO Reppin the Southeast!
USA's sevens are really good. Improving at 15's however is tougher . They are doing it nevertheless
this is the best squidging yet i reckon
Nice video. Kindly allow more time so that we can read the funny anecdotes. Great videos.
I am addicted to your videos
i look forward to these videos
Hello from Georgia!
OMG this video is hilarious and also factual, props to you
Interesting...hopefully we cane take one step further in the next world cup. Can’t wait :)))
love your videos!
Could you do a video on the role of scrum halfs?
Only Derby has a Spoons, next door to a Spoons... Forever in our Hearts: The Standing Order & The Thomas Leaper
Love to see Georgia get good enough to enter the 6, er, 7 nations. Sick of beating up on boring teams like England.
Brilliant video keep up the good work 💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
Video on how leigh halfpenny can improve his attacking game?
Class video. Can you do one on Danny Cipriani and his form, but why he's not in the England setup?
Best thing for rugby is to have these guys join the 6 nations.
Look at Argentina, ruff start in tried nations but have improved a lot since joining.
LOL those Georgian forwards make the Pacific Islanders look almost scrawny... Those guys are stupidly huge.
Oh dude oath. Theyre absolute units. Im islamder myself so a big bloke isnt new to me, but gosh those blocks look like theyd crush jawbreakers in their hands
@@xenasmith4522 yes but why? Genes or what? So ur saying that Samoans are not as big as Georgians? hm
@@greatmoose5499 rich nature high mountains warm sea delicious food and wine .. and of course genes))
You should do the commentating for a live game!
3:34 ...got me good in fairness
Kvirikashvili is the most underated rugby player I've ever watched.
That try against Canada was amazing. Gave Wales a scare too. 6 Nations would be better with them in the competition.
Better then Italy that's for sure
Soda King There should be relegation from and promotion to the 6 Nations. Maybe Romania would get a shot too.
Is that 'Arj' McGinty boy you meantioned at 6:10 any relation to AJ McGinty?
Hey Squidge can you do a video on the African "Springbucks" Number 9 Faf de Klerk!
I think a promotion/relegation playoff between whoever finishes last in the Six Nations and the winner of the European Rugby Championship should be introduced. It's vital that teams such as Georgia, Spain and Russia get to challenge the Tier 1 nations as this will raise standards across the board.
Can you make a video about Portugal?
Great video as usual! Could you do one for Ireland?!
God bless from Aotearoa.
Someday you should do a video about Rugby in Hong Kong and how a small colony made Rugby 7 Famous
Great subject matter.......I'm gonna sell my old "zebo" jersey and replace with a Georgian one 🤪
Would be something like Zebodze or Zeboshvili
@@johnjohnny6148 😂😂😂👍👍 very good sir
From Zebo to Lelo!
Great video, have you ever thought on doing one about Exeter Chiefs rise from the championship to premiership champions?
Did a double take when I saw that wetherspoons... It's the standing order in Derby!! oh the memories
Thanks for the video, interesting and fun
Just saying we were the first school to go on a rugby tour in Georgia and they’re absolutely massive like insanely big
What schopl
Alex Fitzgerald st David’s college
Love your videos 👍
Hey Squidge, when are you making a video about Italy?
Amazing, what research do you do and what are your sources?
You should do a video on Connacht and how they won the pro 12 a few years ago
