From a french fan never mention the world cup ever again...

pretty easy answer 90% of ireland play in one team so changing 10=15% of team isnt so hard!, its not cheating but dam its close!

My heart rate is way too high watching this

The Schlosser / Kenner documentary, "Command & Control" about the Damascus Titan missile explosion gives you a good idea about the dangers of hypergolic fuels. Insanely volatile. Liable to ignite at the most inopportune moments. Can't be handled without corrosion-resistant protective clothing (rendering any kind of manual work incredibly difficult). Just a few breaths can destroy the sensitive tissues deep within the lungs, fluid begins pouring into the air sacs and you drown. The cryogenic propellants are a little less dangerous. But you have to chill them down to -180C - which presents a completely different set of challenges.

Can you do a vid on the popularity of rugby in Madagascar?

Yes

By lying on the wrong side and not releasing the tackled player.

Camt wait

"Tactical masterclass" against Toulouse/France : kick contestable balls. As a Frenchman I've raged about this flaw in our game for years with no improvement, surprised every time the opponent didn't exploit it. The boks finally did, so between the WC and this very close final, I hope it's a wake up call for French rugby.

Guys, guys, we all know England lost that final on purpose because if they had one the cricket AND rugby World Cup in the same year, that would mean that England are actually consistently good! And the rest of the world couldn’t handle that, oh no, because everyone loves to hate England and think there’s some special rivalry between their country and the English

Back to back World Cups, it’s safe to say they’re definitely back

Dupont dupont dupont and his cute little trophies. Maybe one day he'll join the big boys club

You can use all the adjectives you want, what I see it's the rules of Rugby that are killing the beauty of the sport. And many people are reluctant to it. It take the same path as the NHL..and I don't watch it anymore. Literally D2 is way more fun to watch than this INVESTEC cup despite containing a lot of talented players.

Top Work

I was a Dupont fan before but, boy oh boy, this incredible analysis tells us all that he is even better than we dream he is!!! Brilliant video, thank you!

Weird how Dupont "bends the rules" rather than breaks them

They won that’s why the lifted the trophy…….

I first saw dupont in his first u20 campaign at the u20 World Cup and he was a man against boys there. Every decision he made was executed perfectly. Knew he would be special, but wow is he a player.

hail King Blairhorn

Was at the game last Saturday. Disappointed Leinster fan. But what a match, what a venue, what an atmosphere! Also the lads behind us were great craic!

Mate that's insane. I usually watch French YT videos in 2x and english speaking video in 1x. But here it feels like I'm watching it in 2x. Great tactical display however as I want to understand every single point you mention, it will give you a really high watchtime from me aha I had the privilege to watch the final from the stands, and I was waiting for this video to have a completely different view and a better understanding of every key moment. Thanks Squidge !

Leinster fans were furious about Carley’s performance. Just like twelve months ago they were furious about Peyper (v La Rochelle). Just like a week before that they were furious about Frank Murphy (v Munster). It’s so upsetting they keep getting referees who don’t let them just win. A very deep conspiracy.

It's really sad but the Irish boys are really great at falling at the last hurdle. These records seem stick in their minds. Ireland... dominant until it matters... Leinster are exactly the same. The belief will be hard to build the longer it lasts.

The Squarespace is my favourite type of rick rolling

I think I’ve gotten to a point where I’m now watching Squide videos just to see the SquareSpace bits. Love the videos!

11:50 jesus christ this next 10 seconds is just a beautiful bit of writing - it's easy to lose it in the pace but touches like the alliteration here are what make me appreciate these videos that bit more

Attended the game on Saturday and whilst I was disappointed as an Ulsterman to see Leinster (Ireland in Blue) lose yet another Champions Cup final, my disappointment was immediately overcome by gratitude at witnessing such an amazing spectacle. Two of Europe's best sides playing an unbelievable standard of rugby in an incredible arena, and Dupont, possibly the greatest ever player, putting on an absolute masterclass. Marvellous analysis as always Squidge, you are an asset to rugby union coverage.

"exactly the same players" goes on to show a shot of N'Tamack, who was notoriously missing at the world cup. That's just cruel !

France are gonna win the 6 nations next year aren't they?

Very good analysis. It beats a lot of the stuff I hear about 'wanting it more' and 'mentality' whilst these are extremely important and can be the difference between winning and losing - have a very good game plan and tactics about how to play to win....are equally important too.

Could you cover Top14 finals?

22:50 forward pass... Cant argue the result. Elite level ball will always be close. These are the teams we want to face when all the chips are down. Heartbreaking in the blue jersey, but we will come again. We where toulouse's la rochelle. Big day for them. On we go

Dupont doing turnovers now as well, what next.... lineouts...

The ref allowing Toulouse to flop on the ball and have hands on the ground consistently, like ntamack in this video. He was a disgrace

Great stuff Squidge, I do wonder if the guys in real time are as able see the whole pitch/layout as you depict in all instances, seems almost impossible. I'm surprised you didn't mention the turnovers at all - seems a huge factor in the game. Well done by both teams, a great game, thin margins.

Leinster is a province not a club. Toulouse, Saracens or Cardiff blues are clubs!

Lebel gives that ball to Roumat and there is no extra time.... Leinster is Clermont, with 4 extra european titles

Man imagine if France had a fit Ntmack in the WC….

what a unfair advantage the springboks will have with @Squidge Rugby assisted with analyzing teams attack and defense patterns. Best out there from a SAFFA love the videos and the insights you guys provide!

Brilliant analysis. Thank you 🙏🏼

It's scary how good both these teams played. As a munster fan it was the world cup final I had looked forward to, I have a sneaking feeling that if Nienabar had had a couple of more months in the chair then a much smoother Leinster would be celebrating. In spite of the loss there is only improvement to come for Leinster though. Well done, and commiserations

Napoleon wasn't short. You're better in rugby than in history. 🤣

god he is so so good!

12 scrums in that game, and yet it still goes down as one of the best games of rugby in recent times. But World Rugby are hellbent on turning Union into League. Sad really.

A fantastic game perfectly analysed by you, Squidge - thank you 😊

15:38you love to see it

Blair Kinghorn was impressive at 15 kicking his goals and defending well solid performer.

Amazing Analysis on the game. Keep doing what you're doing.

I can’t survive another Leinster loss
