The start of this video is my favourite thing on RUclips in the history of RUclips how awesome great videos looking forward to bledisloe one review ha ha
It's the most outdated video in rugby's history because of less than 2 hours. It is definitely bizarre how everything can change after one single freaking game for AWJ's sake
"I frustratingly couldn't get it up"... I read that completely the wrong way... It took me at least a couple of tries before I realised what you actually meant! :D
You say that but Australia won every game of the rugby championship in 2015 and the ABs were scratchy. Then NZ owned everyone aside from the boks in the RWC.. NZ, boks, oz in the semis with Wales of course. NZ v SAF final.
@@NathanMcClintock The difference was that in 2015, the All Blacks did not field a full strength side in TRC and that is where the issue of a TRC winner never having won the RWC started. Looking at this year, SA fielded a B side against Australia while their A side was already in NZ, BEFORE NZ got there. That kind of depth exists in SA and I think Rassie took a chance on not resting players because he wanted to win the TRC to give the players the confidence going forward. I do not believe that Aus have that kind of depth and that is where they might encounter a problem. NZ has a different but equally dangerous problem; in the recent past, far too many sides have learned to beat them or run them close. They are relying on players like Read and Ben Smith who are just not firing on all cylinders, they are missing MacKenzie and Squire and they are desperate to find a spot for a kicker because they have finally realised (too late) that Beauden Barrett will not win the close ones for them. Doesn't mean that they cannot crush everyone in sight, but the fear of the All Blacks has diminished and other teams are now comfortable playing their own game instead of trying to keep up. Interesting times indeed.
Yeah im hoping england can put it together but i can see all blacks putting barrett back in ten and then it will ll be sorted. Dont think mounga is where he needs to be to beat these competitive teams.
wildebest England n Australia nah thats not 50/50... Englands still gona win, all the top 5 teams have a 50/50 chance in winning the world cup.. Australia less likely.. Wales can win if they don't meet the AB's in the knockout rounds.. the other 3 are fairly matched against the AB's with depth of players etc
haha too funny squidge !!! I've been loving your videos mate and as soon the game finished last night I was really interested in how you were going to critique the game, seeing the intro had me in stitiches, looking forward to the sequel, keep up the good work. C'ARN THE WALLABIES !!!
ps. you really made some great, and obvious points in ur upload. i hope others can see the work u put in to this, great job mate! and there is more than 1 player in this AUS side, that only thinks of themselves, thats for dam sure.
Hahahahah I love the intro at the start explaining why you didnt post the vid earlier hahahahahha...hilarious. As much as I am a die hard all blacks fan, I saw this coming and told everyone but nobody believed me. Wallabies always lift their game in world cup year
I love your channel and commentary. Funny, insightful and entertaining. You're brilliant. However, as a former player, I know that sometimes you get some things a bit wrong. I love your dose of humility at the beginning and looking forward to seeing your view of the tri-nations because, well, it was incredible.
Saffa here, and boy do I love a Folau joke! With the World cup around the corner, These vids are the first I watch every day. I cannot wait for these commentaries. I have dreams of seeing Siya Kolisi lift that damn cup! If my 2 Kidneys and 1 lung world cup ticket go the way fate intends I rate SA for the win this year. I might just lose my shit. # SiyaCaptainCourageous
As an Aussie, I have been trying to understand what has been pulling us apart over the last few years. There's been a lot of factors of course, but I think you really nailed the root of the problem from the players perspective.
Squidge, you sneakily sent Cheika a copy of that analysis before the game. He's not so good with reading, but he must have shared it and they actually started playing as a team. You are the Nostradamus of Rugby!
Well said, couldn’t agree more. The problem with Aus rugby has been the culture. It actually started with Beale, O Connor and Cooper on tour together not respecting the senior players and it’s spiraled from there. PS thanks Wallabies, you’ve opened this World Cup up nicely. To be fair the All Blacks look disorganized and lack cohesion as a team at the moment and if they don’t sort that out they’re not winning this year. Boks looking good
As an Aussie this is still relevant... the lack of team cohesion, high effort for little reward etc... don't make the same mistake the Australian Rugby Press makes.. one game is not the long term change they keep saying it is and have said in the past every time we turn it around.. once.. Australian Rugby has some cultural issues stemming from management down. Another very nice and spot on video Squidge.
Freak of a game, i didn't think we had a chance!. Wouldn't get to carried away All Blacks said they don't care about rugby championship and need to back that up week after week.
shazza was a great game, looking forward to next week. I’ve wanted our rivalry back at the top of the list for my rugby again. I’ve barely cared after we had the cup for the tenth year running. Bring it Aussie, I want something to beat the match of the century
Still relevant -- these issues are exactly what the Wallabies addressed in the match against the All Blacks. They finally got some fast ball from effective forward carrying and got their defensive structures right and they were dangerous. I think the pairing of Nic White and Christian Lealiifano was the key. They need game management from their halfbacks, to unlock the flash from their centers and back three.
Every year the all blacks lose the rugby championship/Tri nations, they win the World Cup the same year, whenever the all blacks win the rugby championship/Tri nations, they lose the World Cup the same year. Honestly look it up, very interesting
Paul Cockram I don’t have them as favs, It’s anyone’s game in my opinion, should be a great World Cup, I just thought that was real interesting, not sure if it’ll happen again tho
alternativebassist obviously the forward set prices, but seeing the mental errors at the break down, missed tackles far from an AB supporter they just seemed off
Eddie Aguirre it’s really frustrating Cos from my view the ABs were starting to sort things out...and then the game got blown apart by a rogue call. There were still sloppy errors but the moment it looked like we were fixing them, monseiur Garces fucking broke everything.
Oh just the 4th highest Aussie try scorer & probably the greatest international player underneath the high ball... yeah, he was *_SUCH_*_ a liability._
Almost everything you said between 8.15 and 10.05 could be applied to Argentina, which is one reason that the Pumas are playing absolutely awfully at the moment.
The Wallabies woes over the last 12 months are in my view 1) Poor tactical kicking -, uncontested kicks to nowhere, gifting possession back to the opposition. 2) A weak scrum that leaks penalties. 3) No player who can confidently drop a goal in the opposition 22. I agree Fardy needs to be back in the team, the eligibility rules for players with overseas clubs should be reduced to 30 caps.
Doing a video for the response at eden park the past Saturday. I still think the wallabies looked dangerous in that game but when you get done and can’t get any points on people will say otherwise
Great video Squidge. Timing is a wonderful thing. Aussie win looked out of the blue but this was more down to AB poor general play, and red card, wasn’t it?. Question is would the Aussies have won with a full AB team in play. Good to see the win but this will no doubt make the ABs more dangerous
I’m desperate to know what the hell happened to Wales yesterday... when you know, can you post it to Gatland because they were caught napping yesterday and it was embarrassing
Dear squidge, COULD YOU NOT LEAVE US A DAY TO MOURN??? Hugs and kisses, An All Blacks fan. Ps. I’ll be really pissed if you don’t just say it’s all Garces’ fault. PPS. GODDAMIT. PPPS. I now realise this was a video analysing Australia as a whole rather than the last match. I recant my previous bitching. Hugs and kisses are once again re-sent.
You need time to mourn? You’ve been the best team for 8 years and you lose 1 game and you need time to mourn? Christ above yous have your head up your arse
The All Blacks look like the 1995 team - dealing with the retirements of key playmakers in the last 4 years, struggling to click, needing a reset and a team to form. However, at the 1995 World Cup it did all came together and Jonah Lomu's rampaging attack inspired the team to within a whisker of winning - they probably would have if most of the team hadn't fallen ill the day before the final. (Kicks off the Suzie debate... for what it's worth, I don't believe there was a conspiracy - just poor food handling.)
imagine travelling all the way to the wallabies vs. argentina game only for folau to be greedy. i was filthy for a month and i feel no remorse for whats happened to him now the twet.
Doing a breakdown of the game will be like doing an analysis of a top level chess match where one side loses a piece in the opening. Not much to really to learn other than don't get red carded in the first half... anything else is just speculation. IMO. But please still do a video squidge!
I am a log suffering Wallabies supporter stuck out here in Southern Africa . But after the All Black performance against the Springboks and Pumas and the fact that this is a World Cup year (check out 2011 and 2015) I confidently wagered money on them to win and tomorrow at the gym I shall be collecting money from 3 salty South African Springbok supporters
Congratulations to South Africa for winning the Rugby Championship!
First of many!
Thanks brother, best of luck to all squads going in in September.
Did they? Didnt notice i was still yelling at my tv from excitment from smashing the all cheats
Well done South Africa... from Australia
Well the Springboks from NZ
You guys were brilliant
Can I just say you're doing the best work of any rugby analysis in the WORLD - you literally beat every other show out there
I couldn't get it up on the friday.
Don't worry squidge... Happens to the best of us
you get pills for that
The start of this video is my favourite thing on RUclips in the history of RUclips how awesome great videos looking forward to bledisloe one review ha ha
Came here expecting folau jokes, and boy was I not disappointed
Getting rid of him gave them a much better balanced backline for mine, so net benefit.
@@Buggaton except I saw not homophobic comment from JimmyKip!
JimmyKip very true, however it didn’t benefit the waratahs much
Walrus Guy squidge is welsh, by ancestry, and the English colonised Wales
Walrus Guy and I see where you’re coming from, just if we see every religiously-motivated homophobe as a victim we’d be in a very difficult place.
It's the most outdated video in rugby's history because of less than 2 hours. It is definitely bizarre how everything can change after one single freaking game for AWJ's sake
Oh please, Aussies have their tails up, but they beat 14 men who played like they din't even care that much.
@@marhcNecro didn't care that much or were paid too lose ? hmmmmmmm
blah blah blah food poisoning blah blah 14 men blah blah
@@darthmong7196 Relax idiot. World Cup still on it's way. 3peat loading.
"I frustratingly couldn't get it up"... I read that completely the wrong way... It took me at least a couple of tries before I realised what you actually meant! :D
This game blows the World Cup wide open. For some reason, it’s still hard to see past the All Blacks winning...

Gotta check the videos on Scotland and La Rochelle!
@@smeetsnoud1 just watched la Rochelle, Thanks for the advice, never knew about this team.

Superb. The Moulin Rouge gag! The Bernard's Watch gag! A ton more I likely missed or didn't understand! Amazing effort!
You are always relevant. This victory just buys into the RWC superstitions and the finally getting over Folau
Maybe Cheika is brilliant?
Great just what Wales need Australia back on form for the WC

Another great vlog mate. You have great insight into my beloved Wallabies. Keep it up and good luck in Pool D (not really). Cheers
Well done dude. No one saw today's match happening!
Squidge, you sneakily sent Cheika a copy of that analysis before the game. He's not so good with reading, but he must have shared it and they actually started playing as a team. You are the Nostradamus of Rugby!
Ha haaa, the opening to that was hilarious. Top job as ever Squidge, thanks.
Eagerly anticipating your Wales vs England analysis
Best channel that I've discovered recently

Nah the problem is the board and ceo
Hanoi Tripper What makes you think that? Curious
That was your funniest, yet. Laugh out loud funny! ,,, can't wait for the Bledisloe 1 breakdown, it was a screamer of a match!
The falou bit has me in tears
I really enjoy your content dude! Don't stop(with the Folau jokes)!
The rwc is going to be very interesting to say the least

They sure do care, and this was the bledisloe
Joshua McAlister all blacks are all about the Bledisloe. They were focusing on this game
Richie Johnson why are you saying that me as if I’m the one who said they don’t care? Lol pretty sure I didn’t say anything of the sort
Joshua McAlister sorry, meant for Shazza
Im a kiwi and was at the game with my aussie wife.
She now has bragging rights till my allblacks win .
@Mystic gamer yep lovely wife now has to wait till we meet again
Hey Squidge, looks like you were actually right - in the end.
One thing about today's game, Australia played 4 guys that have played stand off at Pro level in their backs: lelealiifano, hodge, O'connor and beale
Love that comparison with the Jean-Luc Godard film. Very funny.
Thanks for the 2015 QF reminder squidge...
Even as an Aussie that was heartbreaking. We didn’t want it like that.
Every video from Squidge's title starts with SO
Is that a £90 (£65?) shirt you're wearing in the intro Squidge?! Lookin' good on ya buddy.
What's the new Wales away kit like does it fit nice?
This video came sooner than expected
As an NZ fan You can only applaud Austratia... played a brilliant game.

Mm I get that, do you make New Zealand the favourites?
I am not sure they are in control of their game plan.
Time will tell.
Paul Cockram I don’t have them as favs, It’s anyone’s game in my opinion, should be a great World Cup,
I just thought that was real interesting, not sure if it’ll happen again tho
@@aslanc6732 Agreed, I think any of 6 teams could win it.
Probably going to be the best world cup, very much looking forward to it.
All the best
Question how much did red card effect the match?
Eddie Aguirre imo. It completely changed the game
alternativebassist obviously the forward set prices, but seeing the mental errors at the break down, missed tackles far from an AB supporter they just seemed off
Not much. Wallabies still would’ve won the game.
Eddie Aguirre it’s really frustrating Cos from my view the ABs were starting to sort things out...and then the game got blown apart by a rogue call. There were still sloppy errors but the moment it looked like we were fixing them, monseiur Garces fucking broke everything.
Oz were pressing hard with the upper hand already which caused the dirty grubbery
From Australia, nice one. It turned out we beat them without Falou, and may be Pocock may be back for the next game.
Folau was such a liability to the Wallabies.
Glad he's gone.
Oh just the 4th highest Aussie try scorer & probably the greatest international player underneath the high ball...
yeah, he was *_SUCH_*_ a liability._
You don't know what you are talking about
Almost everything you said between 8.15 and 10.05 could be applied to Argentina, which is one reason that the Pumas are playing absolutely awfully at the moment.
The pumas are not playing awful.Thats the way they have always played.They have always been a mediocre team.
Really nice Chanel 😃👌🏻Do you have no problems with the copyright of the videos or are you buying the clips? Thanks for your answer
Can someone please tell me when David Pocock played in that Jersey this year? I thought he has been injured since super rugby season
The Wallabies woes over the last 12 months are in my view
1) Poor tactical kicking -, uncontested kicks to nowhere, gifting possession back to the opposition.
2) A weak scrum that leaks penalties.
3) No player who can confidently drop a goal in the opposition 22.
I agree Fardy needs to be back in the team, the eligibility rules for players with overseas clubs should be reduced to 30 caps.
This guy really loves rugby

To be honest, it will be interesting to see if anything you brought up in this video changed for the NZ match.
Always love a good mention of Hull
Great video Squidge. Timing is a wonderful thing. Aussie win looked out of the blue but this was more down to AB poor general play, and red card, wasn’t it?. Question is would the Aussies have won with a full AB team in play. Good to see the win but this will no doubt make the ABs more dangerous

I’m desperate to know what the hell happened to Wales yesterday... when you know, can you post it to Gatland because they were caught napping yesterday and it was embarrassing
4:23 why did u type the SA stats against the walabies in very small font's ?
Italy pulled another beginning of the match lead against Ireland earlier...
-Reminds me of the 6 Nations
Wallabies are like the nz warriors in Rugby League full of talent but bad execution and crap consistency
Kurtly (I think) Beale starting made a big difference
Kurtley*
Beale is better overall option at fullback. Higher rugby IQ compared to Folau✌️😝
Off topic but I noticed you’re wearing the Welsh second jersey, was thinking about buying it but what made you choose it over the normal one?
Fardy was amazing.
Played against Coleman as a kid, god that was tough
Dear squidge,
COULD YOU NOT LEAVE US A DAY TO MOURN???
Hugs and kisses,
An All Blacks fan.
Ps. I’ll be really pissed if you don’t just say it’s all Garces’ fault.
PPS. GODDAMIT.
PPPS. I now realise this was a video analysing Australia as a whole rather than the last match. I recant my previous bitching. Hugs and kisses are once again re-sent.
The LAST people I feel sorry for right now are All Blacks fans. You are briefly feeling like everybody else. Enjoy it
You need time to mourn? You’ve been the best team for 8 years and you lose 1 game and you need time to mourn? Christ above yous have your head up your arse
stephen finn in the words of the poet (or more accurately Sean bean): “give us a moment, for pity’s sake!”
Bertie Wooles by everybody else do you mean hating that fucker Garces?
I'm Australian & I tried to be offended, but that was funny, informative & good analysis.

This video is so good. Outdated, but good!
Brilliant script!
Can’t wait for the England wales game review 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Are you going to the England wales game on sunday
"Like a pony on a sugar high"......I'm dying :D
Relevant again congrats
More great work again 👍🏴
As soon as we lost I was like ooooo I can’t wait for the squidge rugby video about this 😂
This world cup is so open.... a year ago I would have said Ireland. Now maybe Wales have the grit to grind out a Cup win?????
Russell Bolton everyone knows that Ireland will bottle the QFs
Ireland just look lost on the pitch compared to last year. Teams have started figuring out how to disrupt them 🤷🏼♂️
Link to full match, please.
Is Lukhan Salakaia-Loto the new Fardy?
bro Ur invited to the bbq with the cuzzies with these mad rugby facts, everyone can AND WILL defer to you for everything

Squidge, that was amazing. All of it.
You got a Like just for that Mel Gibson Line, well played
OK Godard’s Breathless is brilliant but where’s the Agnès Varda love?
When’s the next video due Squidge? You promised us only a few days!?

Thought I'd never say this, but after that game yesteday. I think you really need to do a new video.
The flat passing game has a higher risk to it,agree there.
I can hear the salt in your comments though lol.
