@wildebest honestly. Wales are the better team right now, but like Gatland said, the better lost that day. The Welsh were shocking, I hadn't seen them play like that in a long while and it was just disappointing really
I have seen France turn up to win, I've seen them turn up to surrender, I've even seen them turn up to win the first half but capitulate in the second. This, however, is the first time I've seen the French rugby team turning up to simultaneously win and surrender.
Already comments on here of "Oh this aged well" well at least wales gave the springboks a game losing in the last few minutes by 3 points unlike eng in the final who got smashed all over the field
On the other hand England hammered the world champions the week before which wales have never done. Wales just squeezed past France with a man advantage so probably best to pipe down
@@Just_JasonZA They played better because their game is in many ways similar to that of the Springboks, who have, I think, the best understanding of how to play rugby in accordance with the modern rules (which I am not very fond of, being young in the time of Barry John, Gareth Edwards, John Williams et al, but that is by the way). And having said that, England looked wholly lost on their supposed big day.
@@warrust Judged by who ? That referee who never got the replay video of the try he asked for, and then stated it was always a pleasure to f*** us French ???
NoirOrchestre Thats the game. You win some you lose some. Dirty player cost his team. It wasn’t a forward pass, otherwise TMO would have disallowed you’ve seen the scrutiny every game. You robbed us in 2012 and we robbed you this time round
@@lukewilliams4556 2012 ? Don't see what you're refering to. I'm not saying we haven't make mistakes, because we certainly did, but you Welsh haven't been robbed in a World Cup for the third time (!!!). Period.
NoirOrchestre Warburtons red card lad. France turn up, or they don’t they’re so inconsistant they havn’t wont 6 nations since 2010 I do believe. Its a shame because they are fantastic players. But they always seem to struggle
I think Squidge is right, but is too focused on Wales and thus missed something essential. Yes Wales wins a lot of game despite being the "worse" team, but France has had the opposite problem for a while. They're not always the best team but when they are they lose in the most unbelievable ways. The game against wales in the last 6 nations is a great example, one crazy pass from Vaha, a fumble from Huget cost us 2 tries. Ireland game in 2018 we lost at the last minute from a crazy 50m Sexton drop. The SA game in 2018, we lose at the last minute despite having a lineout 5 m away from the SA goal line at the 79th minute... Essentially this was a game between a team that doesnt know how to win when they're better and one that doesn't lose when it's being outplayed.
@wildebest Gatland, squidge ... all said France was the better team during that game. As squidge says its one thing being the better rugby team its another thing winning games.
@@sirfrancis6058 OK cool, i dont disagree with you (no need to name call bro). Just because a team lost, doesn't automatically make them the better one. Which is to say... better teams win most of the time.
@@dimitardobrev3296 Right, sorry about that. Yes of course better teams win all the time, but sometimes they don't because of bad luck for example, France hit the post twice this game for example...
Hi squidge fans. Lets make sure we put a pretty penny in the lad's Patreon. It seems to me he's put in a massive shift covering the World Cup (only 4 more years!!!) and being unable to upload to RUclips during the tournament might mean a sizeable loss in view count. Here's to the internet's finest dose of relatable rugby rambling! All the best and, as always, rugby.
Watching from Japan! (I'm the Japanese guy with glasses that went to the Tokyo meet-up in No-Side Bar. Don't know if you remember me Squidge, but I wish you the best, and many thanks for your efforts during the world cup!)
France had no chance after that guy got red carded in my opinion............and right as the second half was starting too............my team for the QF stages was SA...............but I really felt for the French .......especially with the one point difference
Wondering if you ever wanted to make a video on a club that finished bottom of central east d last season and it's history as even though we finished bottom of the lowest division we were moved up a division as our league was abolished think it would be a interesting video to make on real grass root Welsh rugby
Well done to highlight that Vahamaaina f*cked France twice vs. Wales You may have shown the couple of faults on the last try though: flyhalf's position + forward pass 1 of those was enough to give possession to France and avoid that lucky try And, no, I'm not even French
To just answer this once before it gets asked over and over: I’ve made a point of not discussing any refereeing decisions over the World Cup, especially as so much of the mainstream coverage focused primarily on those are talking points, instead of getting into the rugby itself. At present, I’ve either published or at least written my coverage on 43 of the 45 games, and haven’t discussed one controversial refereeing decision. It’s not interesting to me, I’d rather keep the channel to my observations and ideas rather than opinions.
@@josephr7529 I respect your position and opinion, and don't necessarily disagree, but the that's not what my channel is for or about. Point is, lots of people were talking about the refereeing. Very few about the rugby. So I focused on that. I'm far from the only place to get your rugby coverage, so go check on someone else for refereeing discussions. Far as I'm concerned, a discussion about refereeing decisions is completely binary: It's 'I agree'/'I disagree'. I don't see much to talk about and discuss there, especially if I set a precedent and talk about these calls each game. It would get repetitive quickly, as I personally found ITV's refereeing-heavy coverage.
Squidge, I can’t believe you just glossed over that last try for Wales. During the game all the attention was on was the pass forward, which to me was a mute point, since Wales 9 was clearly offsides, ahead of the ball during the scrum. It should have been a penalty to France and they should have still won the game. A little disappointed you didn’t take a look at that. But then again you are Welsh...
Interesting he doesn't do any analysis on the winning try, considering it was such a big talking point and many thought the pass went forward. Doesn't want to draw attention to it?
France lost that for themselves not Wales finding a way to win. The red card, that scrum, the fact they stopped playing after dominating most areas (collision, breakdown, kicking, offloading etc.). Seemed a diff game after the red card which makes sense, but France still came very close to winning if not for some silly mistakes. Also was a pretty boring game (for a neutral) after the red but no where near as boring as the SA one!
Unfortunately this yr wales have not improved and gone backwards pivac is the wrong choice of coach and he only knows gats old rear guard and trying to playing attacking rugby ahh no wales have so many young new players and in form players that dont get a chance. And I dont really care if they play in England. Club and international rugby are completely diff .you don't get this in football every sports man needs to earn money for there family and that shouldn't stop you playing for your country Plus wales have only 4 club sides and not all of theses players can play for them Wales will never improve until wales change this

s1 agreed. Forward pass try was ridiculous it hasn’t been scrutinised more. Happy wales got through the game though. But was a bit nuts
@s1 I didn't watch the match. Who forward passed to whom?

France had some really good moments in this world cup. Unfortunately, they also managed to sabotage themselves
I really enjoy these videos and the analysis but im not that knowledgeable about rugby, can someone clue me in as to what happened in 2011?
Wales got a red card late and lost the game in a corresponding World Cup semi against France
You always know which welsh team is going to show up. You never know with the french
Elbowed into and then kicked out of the semifinal
Rather lose by 3 points than the English destroyal from South Africa, the English should be embarrassed
Aaaah how Wales missed Huget and Vahaamahina today.
mmm .... and now no Gatland, will that winning ability continue?
No word on the pass for the winning try? I don't say it was forwarde, but I am sure it wasn't backward
Doesn't have to be backwards, flat passes are fine
