Let's hope world rugby doesn't take this one down too
What all of us are dreading
Let's hope they do, 90 min I can't get back 😫
@@Baz502 don't know why you'd watch the full 90 mins if you felt like that 🤷♂️
@@edwardharris2388 He insulted NZ
@daninaidu Kiwi's are delicate Squidge should know that and make fun of the English bronze instead
This video doing more for the game than World Rugby.
All I know is I want to see more tier two teams on my screen in 2024. And a Portugal jersey.
Shout out to my fellow Bok supporters who have aged about 30 years in 2023!
World zrugby is *literally* trying to show us only 6 Nations games and Boks vs All Blacks. Not all the Boks games, not all the All Blacks games, just when they play each other.
Squidge is a better marketing dept for rugby that all the nonces and lawyers working for World Rugby right now. If Squidge was in charge of *just the marketing* of World Rugby, you'd see tier two teams starting to beat tier one teams regularly. Every tier one team would have to play a game in Fiji. Half the gate takings from Twickenham would go to develop rugby. Peace would reign throughout Earth, and homelessness and hunger would end.

hahah! good one!
and not forgetting Terrorists......who would put down their weapons and pick up Rugby balls instead!! :D
"Every year, we allow one rugby league moment on this list"
Thanks Squidge. I needed that today, had me howling with laughter
Minor Correction on 193, Mapimpi had just arrived back after his injury during the group stages. not after the Final .Effectively the crowd is cheering him up.
I noticed the same error
Noticed it too
haha, I also noticed that.
I agree. But it's not important because we love Squidge almost as much as we love Mapimpi!
Covering the primary school game was just gold!! The lads and their families would have loved this. Class.
It’s my old school! Such a surprise!!
You guys are legends. World Rugby should be grateful for what you do for the game! Love your work.👊🏻
As a South African, I cannot describe in words the tension and emotion felt at the end of the those three knockout games; with the final being on another level altogether
I was not yet ready to see #2 again. It's still a heartbreaking moment, from a french perspective
But 2023 was a great year for Rugby, thank you so much for your amazing work
What a game. Pity there could only be one winner.
Yous were robbed
@@saoirsedeltufo7436 robbed by the better team on the day.
Probably the best games of rugby I have ever seen. It felt unfair that there had to be a loser.
Conceded 4 tries 😢@@saoirsedeltufo7436
Lots of great moments. As a Scot I felt the Scottish women’s winning their first piece of silverware was fantastic, to see Rachel Malcom get that title was amazing. Also the men’s team beating wales and getting the Doddie Weir cup after he passed away was special too.
I really thought the lunacy that was France v Scotland would have made the list. Surely a greater moment than Italy getting their hearts broken by Scotland yet again. And you're right, for Scotland to win the WXV2 and be able to stake a claim as 7th best team in the world, from where they've been, is immense. Bigger even than the win against Ireland.
Hear about the brazilian girls winning that game against Portugal made me emotional. Brazilian rugby have a long and hard way to be something, but the girls are always giving me the pride of being brazilian and fan of rugby (sorry for my english 🙃)
Your English is better than my portugese
Ahhh man, thanks for this video Squidge. I'm a South African and I was crying at the end of it. Great content. Thanks Man!
That was a tome.
Jeez you work hard. But thank goodness you do. So many great memories here.
I especially enjoy seeing some great footage from some of the smaller players.
Aside from teams like Uganda, Chile, Uraguay and Portugal, but also women's games, and obscure clubs and juniors.
It all forms part of the big picture and embodies everything I love about this game.
You okes do a great job. Thank you.
They're a better marketing department for rugby than world rugbys nonces and lawyers.
Spent the last 5 mins of this in absolute tears. Still just brings everything back... what a world cup.
Squidge, you are a hero. You alone do more than world rugby has ever for this incredible sport.
That weekend of the quarterfinals is still in my mind the best weekend of rugby the world has ever seen. Nz v Ireland and France v SA were massive and then japan v argentina was a real back and forth arm wrestle and fiji v england was a nail biter of an underdog story with a bittersweet ending. All 4 games were amazing.
Squidge - O !! Superb mate 👊 Made me realise that there is sooooo much happening that I (we) don't see. Women, Kids, Youngsters, Students, Unknowns and those on the rise... From a Saffa - that was sublime and thank you. Keep up the good work!!
#2 never seen a game with as much overall quality and intensity before. Rugby at it's best from start to finish.
A great year for developing rugby nations!
Siya Kolisi is the best of us, makes me even more proud to be a South African 🇿🇦
Thanks for a great year, Squidge ❤
Your tribute to Siya at the end... You had me tears there, lad.
Great video, as always.
But Siya's tribute was a step up.
Thank you!
No, you're crying!
i feel we are privileged to be a part of something truly remarkable, which probably will get its own hollywood story at some point - how a boy from the townships who struggled to get food to eat became the greatest captain his country ever produced

Thanks Squidge, take better care of yourselves in 2024, you are valuable. Happy New year, Showmaster.
12 year olds, dogs, cattle, poetry, the 4 corners of the rugby planet. How the fuck do you do it?! Bravo! Take a bow.
Squidge - what a great round up of 2023 - bring on the Six Nations ☘️☘️
Honourable mention to the clip of Ronan O'Gara speaking French in the La Rochelle locker room...
Great vid bro
From South Africa. I can’t even put into words what it meant to see the boks win the World Cup again. I ran about a km around a field celebrating screaming my lungs out. And I tear up every time I see Barnes blow his whistle. Thank you so much for all your work Squidge ❤
Thanks for making rugby better Squidge!
Merry Xmas, let's hope rugby is the number 1 rugby moment of rugby this year.
It’s okay, Squidge, you can call yourself the Rugby Santa if you want! 😜 Incredible work, as always. Was not expecting to sit and watch a movie-length compilation tonight but enjoyed every second. Hugely appreciated…
Fave moments so far ... the Welsh schools cup .... unbelievable play. And the Kate Williams story ... had not heard it before. Bawling with her when she gets the jersey
Dude!!! That and the Sarah Hunter clip made me cry.
This is video is brilliant. Squidge you are the best ambassador for this beautiful game. World rugby should hire you. Also congrats to South Africa. As an Anglo-American that semi final was a painful. However the steely nerve of the South Africa team is something to behold. To win 3 such closely fought knock out games is impressive. They may not necessarily be the best team in the world, but they are the best tournament team in the world.
Love this. Your passion for the sport is undeniable, as shown here. Highlighting sports at all level. Elite international, tag rugby, school boy, domestic rugby, womens and mens. Everything
Can’t describe how good this is. It’s brilliant you take time to appreciate the whole spectrum of rugby, from the World Cup, to Pro D2, to Madagascar, to even a Welsh school’s match. It all matters and please keep up the good work shining the spotlight on tier 2.
Took me 3 days to fit in watching all of this while looking after a whingey 8 month old and it cheered me up at a difficult time. A big heartfelt thank you.
I'm glad you mentioned England France in the women's 6N! It was the best attended women's rugby game ever, and France almost winning from 33-0 down at HT made it a brilliant game too
Magnifique ❤
Amazing! Thank you both.
So many people look forward to watching this content:
Learn more about the game we love (& piss ourselves laughing at the same time)
Hope you are both well and wishing you a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year 👍
Thanks squidgy, your videos are genuinely genius. Full on geekery presented with so much fun with a huge dollop of love of the game slapped on top. Magic
Excited for another great year of rugby! Thanks for the work Squidge. Look forward to more dogs on the pitch !
Oh BOY, David Odiase, can't wait to see him develop. What a leader.
Thanks for the beautiful video Squidge.
As a South African, I would just like to say: DOG ON THE PITCH!!!!!
As usual, what an excellent video. I won’t lie, as a Leinster and Irish fan it was a rough watch at times. However, 2023 was truly a special year for rugby. Thank you for bringing these moments together
Thank you Squidge and co for a great year of videos and being the person actually explains this stuff in terms we understand.
Thanks Squidge! You guys are...wonderful, enjoyable, informative, brilliant!!!
The fact that there are Varsity Cup clips on this is amazing. Squidge, your dedication to the sport is out of this world
The Sarah Hunter clip genuinely made me cry!
Well done. Thank you & happy new year.
Props for putting keith earls so high, it was such a good moment
No frickin' way!! My school is in a Squidge video (27:27)!!!! That was a home game against a rival school on our turf. So crazy seeing it here😂 Go Garsies🇿🇦💙
Perfect round up. Squidge? You're our voice of rugby ❤
Thank you, fantastic episode!
You summed up great rugby year. Many thanks.
Merry Squidgemas!
Wow what a tour de force, thanks guys! I didn't plan to sit through all of it but I was riveted, A wonderful joyride put together with love, to love, well done!
Thank you for including me on the list at number 126!!!
Springboks win the 2027 RWC, Siya officially becomes greatest sportsman of all time and we say goodbye to Webb Ellis Cup and welcome to the Siya Kolisi Cup.
Amazing work lads. Thanks
It’s a shame I can only give it one thumbs up, lots of great moments this year!
Excellent work! Thanks for that. Very enjoyable.
Been waiting for this for 365 days! Thank you so much!
I'm surprised Hugo Keenan's try against France in the 6 Nations and Ronan O'Gara's "L'opportunité c'est fucking énorme" didn't make it in
Thank you. Just signed up for the scripts on patreon to say thanks and happy new year❤
This is incredible!! Great job!!
What a well rounded video of great moments in rugby. Doesn't matter what country you are from, this show you moments of rugby not always seen but appreciated
That was amazing! Thank you
Thanks for a legendary summary of the year past - you guys help bring out the magic of rugby and see so many things that even life-long fans of the game like me sometimes miss!
Incredible video, incredible effort. Thanks lads
Possibly the best rugby video i've ever come across!!!
Thanks a lot for this work !!
Cow on the pitch was magic right there!! lol
Thank you ❤
Squidge you and your team/brother are fantastic! I am so grateful for your content and your annual wrap up is an absolute highlight of the festive season. Thank you for all that you do to promote the game we love and I wish you all the best in your dealings with the World Rugby muppets that are working against you!!
Great Analysis! Some great moments indeed! Springboks forever Rugby!
Your best video yet!! Tears in ma eyes
Thanks Squidge jou lekker ding and happy new year from Africa
great work mate x
Amazing. Thank you.
Congratiolations, as always brilliant compulation, really enjoyed the watch.
Amazing work. Entertaining, often funny, a few times genuinley moving to the point of tears. Your final ten caputred the drama i felt as I watched my first ever RWC as a fan and the soliloqy on why we watch sports is going to ring in my head for a long time to come.
Thanks lads for all your hard work in putting these fantastic clips together
Ah man, what a year in rugby! Thanks Squidge, loved this.
What a video 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Always love your end of the year summeries 💜💜
Excellent! Well done gents! Great compilation. You showed how the Boks did SA proud and defied everyone else. I can’t recall seeing one pundit outside of SA pick the Boks to win it. We all knew they would do it!
Great production. Thank you
Beautiful moment of timing at 49:24 with *the seagull* flying directly next to a "not moving away" penalty
Come back to this for the third time. Thanks Squidge.
This was so beautiful to watch
You deserve so much more support from World Rugby. The amount of hours put into this video alone, just out of sheer passion for the game. Long live Squidge Rugby. Love from SA
Cheers.
Enjoyed seeing some of the matches I had been to.
Excellent.
Thank you Squidge 💚
Another great video Squidge. What a year it has been!
I am so glad that i got to watch that video before it got taken down but im so upset that it got taken down! everytime you post i wanna make sure i watch it as soon as possible in fear of it being taken down!😂 this one didn't disappoint
Excellent video compilation!!! And excellent commentary too! Well done 👍
I’ve watched all your World Cup reviews and you always give a great non biased analysis. Please keep going, it’s very much appreciated!
Thank you for your service🙏🏻🇿🇦
Fantastic compilation lads. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it gave me a lot of happy memories Cheers 🍻
Thanks for doing this.
Cried more than once... Thanks for the work mate! That was class!
The Red Roses v The Black Ferns in WXV1 seems like a huge omission.
amazing work Squidge. Thank you so much
Man hats off to u guys. The amount of games u have gone through to compile this is insane.
Awesome job Squidge team!
Did not expect come in here and get some chunky Madagascar content. Such a good time; thank you for all you do squidgebois
Brilliant summary!
Thank you for this everything you do team Squidge. Appreciate the 🇨🇦 highlight!
Holding back tears when you were talking about the top 5 thanks for making my 2023
Mate, what a video! Gotta say, it’s guys like you and the things you do on your channel that’s not only keeping the game alive and / relevant, but more importantly showcasing the values or rather pillars the game is built on. Keep on keeping on bro, and as a Saffa I cannot agree more with your number 1 moment. Cheers!
That was fabulous
