You aren’t? The guy’s only crime was to not play elite level of rugby particularly well, and that is in your view a good enough reason to call a person a useless prick? Who are you?
England just beat the All Blacks so i definitely believe they can win it im an all blacks supporter but I must say England totally deserve the win. I’ve never seen the all blacks get dominated like that before.. anyway good luck to the finals England and I hope you go on to win it, you deserve it!
@@timboyle3114 yeah i was shocked and could not believe it, from there they just keep dominating all through out the game. after the end of the first half was obvious where the game was heading
@Colour Ghost first try in 90 seconds, and being dominated in all aspect of the game, and i mean ALL aspect of the game. don't think thats happened before to that extend. England will beat RSA most likely, knowing they're a tough side, i still think England will take it home.

Really interesting what you say about England blaming other factors for World Cup failure, I've only been alive since '97 so hard to judge many of the world cup performances, I know Dad blames a David Campese knock on for the 1991 final loss, but also bemoans England's change in tactics - and I've never seen any English person make excuses for the '95 World Cup except for the fact that Lomu was immense and England deserved to lose! More recently, I disagree with your perception of 2007, I believe that we were such huge underdogs in that tournament (especially come the final) and whilst I'm still not sure whether that Cueto score should have stood, obviously I was gutted by the decision at the time, but don't blame the TMO. 2011 was just awful and there is no-one else the English can blame, but I really agree with you regarding 2015. I think the two main factors that were blamed were Lancaster's building of culture and Burgess.Which is ridiculous considering Burgess did really well (and we were still way ahead of Wales when he came off) and whilst Lancaster should hold some of the blame for the team's collapse, it had nothing to do with the strong culture he built. But yeah, you've hit the nail on the head for this coming World Cup. On the one hand I truly (with rose tinted glasses) believe that when England are at their best they are the best in the world, so if we play at our best throughout the tournament we will win. However, I just can't back the boys not to royally cock it up in at least one big game!
What about Willy O pushing Mike Teague out of the line out? Clear cheating the ref should have dealt with. Oh, wait a minute - that actually happened so maybe it doesn't count as an excuse.
@@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233 sorry mate, i dont actually get the reference! Unfortunately born after Mike Teague, wouldnt surprise me if youre correct though 😉
In the 1991 final. From Wikipedia: “Despite English dominance in possession, the only try of the match was scored just three minutes later by prop Tony Daly, touching down for a try following Ofahengaue's break from a line-out and subsequent drive from the Australian forwards. Michael Lynagh converted the try. At half-time Australia led England 9-0.” Willy O caught the ball after pushing Iron Mike out of the line out. Wikipedia backs up the Squidge assertion of a change in tactics by England. Teague was playing out of position. He was a 6 at 8 instead of Dean Richards.
Brian Moore also wrote in his book that the backs decided to change the tactics and blames it for the loss. Still can’t blame the Aussies for our own mistake though. 95, Lomu was a monster and ran over most people, simple. The only team to neutralise the danger were the Springboks. Blaming Sam Burgess is just stupid. He’s an outstanding player in the Aussie Leagues. People forget that it was only when he came off in 2015 that Wales broke our midfield and tipped the balance
Mate no offence but I disagree with that statement " when we play at our best we're the best in the world ". It's delusional statements like that that make the rest of the world loath England rugby. There is nothing to back up that statement. You lost to South Africa for ten consecutive years and only recently grabbed a few wins. You've botched 2015 world cup at home. Which was even more cringey considering that horrifically arrogant 2015 beats by Dre robshaw advertisement was still airing after you didn't make it out of pools. Imo I think England would do a lot better if they didn't constantly try look to pat themselves on the back every 5 minutes or blow smoke up their own arses. If one looks at Nz they respect every opponent they play and take them seriously. England doesn't, and you can see it through their statements, that's why they're a step behind when it's crunch time.
English people be like: oi mate we only lost because of tmo ,drop kicks and dwarfs.if it wasn't for that we would won every time🤦♂️ Lollll.england lose again😂😂😂
Hi Squidge, I hope that you're enjoying your Japan WC experience thus far? I just wanted to break a six year rule and not to comment on TH-cam; or elsewhere for that matter..? However... after watching England start bright, slow, and then start to stutter; then very nearly stall completely.I could not help but be reminded of your analysis of the 'Achilles Heel' of this EJ England team. 'Damnable' complacency, again!! Why, oh why, do England always, Always, ALWAYS!!! Start fast and well, only to either trip over the finish line ribbon, or slow for 'that' photo opportunity, only to be passed on the line itself? Tonga should have been out of the game game before the clock turned 60 minutes, and yet... England nearly contrived to fail to get the bonus point, as well as racking up, what could be valuable points in determining the table positions come the final count... Rant over, please keep up the great work Squidge, and Sayonara Sootei :D
@QSW Volt : Correct NZ will winning be on the field doing the practical up front job than having empty pompom armchair know all critic puting pressure of the Engish teams.NZ may by end of the year have the women world netball too
You're so close; EJ's signature has always been heavily structured patterns, shrewd, often boundary-pushing tactics that run to or just beyond the letter of the rulebook and a reliance on complex pre-set plays, going back to his days with ACT Brumbies. It's a rugby philosophy distilled from Australian Rugby League, built on harsh training-ground standards, competitive, ruthless and abrasive attitudes to winning, relentless forward-momentum and absolute technical exactitude. When applied to a team of players with consistent handling and tackling stats, and who can stick reliably to the game-plan (witness the selection of Owen Farrell over George Ford at 10) it produces a brand of razor-sharp, fluid and dangerous (if often rigid and predictable) attacking rugby that requires an opposition team that is absolutely on top of its own game to be able to combat. The main downside of this philosophy is that when an opposition refuses to buckle, match up in defence, hold the ball, produce unpredictable counter-attacking manoeuvres from broken play, or otherwise upset the pre-set gameplan then Jones-coached teams often lose their composure, make basic errors under pressure and begin lashing out in frustration, conceding costly penalties either through clumsy fouling or straight-up on-field violence. This has been true of every international side Jones has coached successfully, but most especially true of England. His disastrous tenure with the Reds and unhappy time with Saracens demonstrate what happens when a team fails to click with his style of play; Jones' approach works best when in charge of a collection of big, ugly, resolute hard-arses willing to train harder than the other team, follow instructions closely and be both more consistent and more confrontational (which England, always a thuggish, unimaginative and mean-spirited side, most certainly are). The remarkable result against South Africa besides, his record at Japan was largely undistinguished, and their willingness to part with him following 2015 suggests he made few friends there, despite that previously unthinkable win. His time with Australia, similarly, was hampered by Australian rugby's failure to produce the necessary quality of forward that would have given his team parity with England at that time. The Wallabies' swift form collapse in 2004-05 showed the limits of Jones' ability to keep his teams winning, even while Australian sides continued to perform well in Super Rugby. Many in Australia still credit him with having destroyed the national team, since their fortunes have only declined since his tenure. Ultimately, Jones is very skilled at maximising the resources at his disposal, devising clever attacking strategies, coaching to his players' strengths and sharpening their skill-sets to the finest edge achievable. However his consistent emphasis on structured play, merciless training-ground attitude, noticeable infatuation with dirty rugby and tendency to berate players publicly has and continues to lead swiftly to a performance plateau, where his teams lose the ability to respond organically to what is happening around them, become bound by the game-plan and progressively come unstuck against key opposition, usually after a storming first quarter. It remains to be seen whether this England team, along with its corporate box-full of assistants (including John Mitchell, whose influence can be seen in England's consistent offside play since he came aboard, consistent with the Jones philosophy of flouting the rules to win) will be able to win a second World Cup playing Eddie Jones' brand of rugby. My money's on No, but - with the Wallabies in dire form, Ireland gone off the boil, Wales and Scotland being ... Wales and Scotland, France in catastrophic disarray and both SA and NZ in rebuilding phases - it's not a huge bet I'm placing.
Formakiwi couldn’t agree more. A very inflexible team that can’t adapt. Very clever reading of specific opposition weaknesses lead to early points from specific plays. RWC final, cross kick to Tuquiri because his opposition was shorter. Boundary pushing of the rules, this years game V Ireland he (quite rightly) played Ireland at their own game regarding support players blocking the catcher at the high ball. The bit I really hate is the lack of tries from phase play. I wouldn’t rule them out but despite always being dangerous in most of their games, there were two teams this year who, as you put it, didn’t take a backwards step. NZ and (my favourite) Wales. I’m English and would love to see them win, but a Wales NZ final would be the best result as far as the sport is concerned.
@@thecuttingsark5094 I think after today you might want to rethink that... SA, despite and maybe even because of constant political interference, are coming to the Party...
As a South African this video made me laugh so much just cause you speak of them as if they've won all worldcups. Literally everything you said was false AF in that final... oh except the part where they let the other team destroy them in the 2nd half lol.
Arranquemos con lo que parece el primer comentario en español del canal, FELICITACIONES, muy bueno éste y todos los videos, England tiene mucho y lo ha tenido desde siempre, me pregunto si tiene el corazón, el alma y lo que tiene todo un equipo campeón, la magia de un grupo unido, un grupo con alma de campeón, el convencimiento de que el objetivo es tan grande que las adversidades los convierta en mas fuertes, sin lugar a dudas es una copa del mundo que todos esperamos y que tiene los suficientes ingredientes para ser epica. Atte desde Argentina Max
Best chance in 32 years. Good luck with a Welsh coach again. Remember How good Gareth Jenkins Mike Ruddock and Kevin Bowring were? 10th in the world by 2021.
Brilliant Squidge, worth the wait. Your point on Jones's Eng is dead right. Jones lines up his cavalry and artillery like a kid playing Risk, and just hoping for shock and awe to win. This worked for Jones for a while, but now the smart teams can read it, and work around it, hence, I believe, the 2H loses. The problem is Farrell has no plan B, other than 'get angry' and this sets the tone for the side. Can't wait for the Wales analysis, save the best till last! Love it.
We had this tactic we would utilize in order to cut out the fly half. Especially if it was a fly half who liked playing flat. The inside center would cut him off and our flyhalf would run the 8th man line to secure the center. It worked like a charm. I believe it was called mirage cause the fly half would obviously be looking at the scrummy when he received the ball. All inspired by Samoa's Brian Lima again South Africa's Derek Hougaard.
Nah oi, they'll reach the finals against the all blacks, they'll have a thrashing lead like 42-10, the the all blacks will bring on jordi and then the 2nd half will start and beauden and jordi barret will carry the all blacks scoring 3 tries each converting all 6 making it 52-42
England : Where Going to win !!! South Africa : Hold my beer. Fun Fact : We South Africans Win the World Cup Every 12 Years... Don’t Believe me Check Yourself.
Thanks for the information about England winning the RWC in 2003, this is the sort of info that needs to get talked about more, you would think England fans would be only too happy to bring this up at every opportunity, yet they remain silent, shocking!
It's because if you are going to show up to play against any team, you are going to show up to play England. Every nation on earth, even those without a professional team or any national team at all want England to lose.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. .... still chuckling and smiling over a week later. Priceless, absolutely fucking priceless. Just love it when England fall on their collective arses.
Spot on. Tell us about it! It seems England do it two ways. Blow the lead seemingly because their focus drifts off to a round of golf, or something. Alternatively, they leave it to the last minute for some death defying heroics. Nothing straightforward about this great country of ours, except, that is, for yesterday against the AB's. Sublime. Now, if we can just keep the boys on track for one more game we can all go off for that round of golf and celebrate.
Think the reason they drop in the second half is the subs. England’s starting team is as good as any. But when the subs come on the chemistry isn’t really there
I think a big reason for that is Eddie calls them finishers before he even selects a team so they know they will never really get a shot at starting a game....probably ruins their confidence and just arent willing to put as much of an effort in as the starting players.........probably not but thats just what i think.
@@lwazim8754 Nah, they could have. But they didn't because we were too strong. Do yourself a favour, go watch Squidge's analysis of the final. It's like winning all over again XD
If ireland,wales or scotland win english fans will be referring to them as british but if ireland,wales or scotland do bad theyll just be referred to as ireland,wales or scotland...it happens with all famous people from ireland,wales and scotland
England can win the Rugby World Cup if they make to the final, the scores are tied at full-time and the winning team is the one that has the most dropped goals.
I lived and worked in England for 10 years. One thing I have learned is that when it comes to conniving, backstabbing and condescension; they are undoubtedly world champions. However that stuff does not work in the field of play where you are judged on shire ability.

English people be like: oi mate we only lost because of tmo ,drop kicks and dwarfs.if it wasn't for that we would won every time🤦♂️
Lollll.england lose again😂😂😂
Well they can now they’re in the final.
Well yes, but no
"conceding so much teratory to england you'd think it was the 16th century" I fking lost it!!!
Hi Squidge, I hope that you're enjoying your Japan WC experience thus far?
I just wanted to break a six year rule and not to comment on TH-cam; or elsewhere for that matter..? However... after watching England start bright, slow, and then start to stutter; then very nearly stall completely.I could not help but be reminded of your analysis of the 'Achilles Heel' of this EJ England team. 'Damnable' complacency, again!! Why, oh why, do England always, Always, ALWAYS!!! Start fast and well, only to either trip over the finish line ribbon, or slow for 'that' photo opportunity, only to be passed on the line itself?
Tonga should have been out of the game game before the clock turned 60 minutes, and yet... England nearly contrived to fail to get the bonus point, as well as racking up, what could be valuable points in determining the table positions come the final count...
Rant over, please keep up the great work Squidge, and Sayonara Sootei :D
Could you imagine the absolute salt if England were to win the Cricket and Rugby World Cups in the same year
Snookbone that would be absolutely brilliant
England & Wales Cricket.. sorry
@QSW Volt o fuck yeah that would be quite a thing
@QSW Volt Better chance of that then England winning both.....
@QSW Volt : Correct NZ will winning be on the field doing the practical up front job than having empty pompom armchair know all critic puting pressure of the Engish teams.NZ may by end of the year have the women world netball too
You're so close; EJ's signature has always been heavily structured patterns, shrewd, often boundary-pushing tactics that run to or just beyond the letter of the rulebook and a reliance on complex pre-set plays, going back to his days with ACT Brumbies. It's a rugby philosophy distilled from Australian Rugby League, built on harsh training-ground standards, competitive, ruthless and abrasive attitudes to winning, relentless forward-momentum and absolute technical exactitude. When applied to a team of players with consistent handling and tackling stats, and who can stick reliably to the game-plan (witness the selection of Owen Farrell over George Ford at 10) it produces a brand of razor-sharp, fluid and dangerous (if often rigid and predictable) attacking rugby that requires an opposition team that is absolutely on top of its own game to be able to combat. The main downside of this philosophy is that when an opposition refuses to buckle, match up in defence, hold the ball, produce unpredictable counter-attacking manoeuvres from broken play, or otherwise upset the pre-set gameplan then Jones-coached teams often lose their composure, make basic errors under pressure and begin lashing out in frustration, conceding costly penalties either through clumsy fouling or straight-up on-field violence.
This has been true of every international side Jones has coached successfully, but most especially true of England. His disastrous tenure with the Reds and unhappy time with Saracens demonstrate what happens when a team fails to click with his style of play; Jones' approach works best when in charge of a collection of big, ugly, resolute hard-arses willing to train harder than the other team, follow instructions closely and be both more consistent and more confrontational (which England, always a thuggish, unimaginative and mean-spirited side, most certainly are). The remarkable result against South Africa besides, his record at Japan was largely undistinguished, and their willingness to part with him following 2015 suggests he made few friends there, despite that previously unthinkable win. His time with Australia, similarly, was hampered by Australian rugby's failure to produce the necessary quality of forward that would have given his team parity with England at that time. The Wallabies' swift form collapse in 2004-05 showed the limits of Jones' ability to keep his teams winning, even while Australian sides continued to perform well in Super Rugby. Many in Australia still credit him with having destroyed the national team, since their fortunes have only declined since his tenure.
Ultimately, Jones is very skilled at maximising the resources at his disposal, devising clever attacking strategies, coaching to his players' strengths and sharpening their skill-sets to the finest edge achievable. However his consistent emphasis on structured play, merciless training-ground attitude, noticeable infatuation with dirty rugby and tendency to berate players publicly has and continues to lead swiftly to a performance plateau, where his teams lose the ability to respond organically to what is happening around them, become bound by the game-plan and progressively come unstuck against key opposition, usually after a storming first quarter. It remains to be seen whether this England team, along with its corporate box-full of assistants (including John Mitchell, whose influence can be seen in England's consistent offside play since he came aboard, consistent with the Jones philosophy of flouting the rules to win) will be able to win a second World Cup playing Eddie Jones' brand of rugby. My money's on No, but - with the Wallabies in dire form, Ireland gone off the boil, Wales and Scotland being ... Wales and Scotland, France in catastrophic disarray and both SA and NZ in rebuilding phases - it's not a huge bet I'm placing.
Formakiwi couldn’t agree more. A very inflexible team that can’t adapt. Very clever reading of specific opposition weaknesses lead to early points from specific plays. RWC final, cross kick to Tuquiri because his opposition was shorter. Boundary pushing of the rules, this years game V Ireland he (quite rightly) played Ireland at their own game regarding support players blocking the catcher at the high ball. The bit I really hate is the lack of tries from phase play. I wouldn’t rule them out but despite always being dangerous in most of their games, there were two teams this year who, as you put it, didn’t take a backwards step. NZ and (my favourite) Wales. I’m English and would love to see them win, but a Wales NZ final would be the best result as far as the sport is concerned.

Greetings from South Africa, the World Cup Champions!! :)
As a South African this video made me laugh so much just cause you speak of them as if they've won all worldcups.
Literally everything you said was false AF in that final...
oh except the part where they let the other team destroy them in the 2nd half lol.
Ik 2 yrs ago, but this is a joke
Arranquemos con lo que parece el primer comentario en español del canal, FELICITACIONES, muy bueno éste y todos los videos, England tiene mucho y lo ha tenido desde siempre, me pregunto si tiene el corazón, el alma y lo que tiene todo un equipo campeón, la magia de un grupo unido, un grupo con alma de campeón, el convencimiento de que el objetivo es tan grande que las adversidades los convierta en mas fuertes, sin lugar a dudas es una copa del mundo que todos esperamos y que tiene los suficientes ingredientes para ser epica. Atte desde Argentina Max
Hey Squidge, can you do a video on when Wales won the world cup........ oh wait !!
Still love your videos though !! Keep em up!
Love an English fan

@@corriedebeer799 What?
Posh?
@@zyaicob What's your question?
Brilliant Squidge, worth the wait. Your point on Jones's Eng is dead right. Jones lines up his cavalry and artillery like a kid playing Risk, and just hoping for shock and awe to win. This worked for Jones for a while, but now the smart teams can read it, and work around it, hence, I believe, the 2H loses. The problem is Farrell has no plan B, other than 'get angry' and this sets the tone for the side. Can't wait for the Wales analysis, save the best till last! Love it.
can i say i like watching this video after we just beat new Zealand in the world cup today
Oh this is wonderful to watch now :)
Opposition tears taste so sweet.
Can England win the World Cup? Yes. Will they? Absolutely bloody not. To put it bluntly. And I’m English
Most fun I've had watching a great rugby analysis in my life
its funny because Eddie Jones does look like the Hood hahahahahahahaha
Especially when his eyes light up.
We had this tactic we would utilize in order to cut out the fly half. Especially if it was a fly half who liked playing flat. The inside center would cut him off and our flyhalf would run the 8th man line to secure the center. It worked like a charm. I believe it was called mirage cause the fly half would obviously be looking at the scrummy when he received the ball. All inspired by Samoa's Brian Lima again South Africa's Derek Hougaard.
Had a really great holiday in Bloemfontein as a kid 🤣🤣🤣 much Love from Bloemfontein @SquidgeRugby
Went to Bloem once, as a kid, and had sour (aka vrot) ice cream at the Wimpy. Never went back XD

still... a converted try in '07, wasn't enough for an England win. (but his foot did cross the line)
Knowing England in the previous 2 codes of football world cups, they'll finish fourth.
Nah oi, they'll reach the finals against the all blacks, they'll have a thrashing lead like 42-10, the the all blacks will bring on jordi and then the 2nd half will start and beauden and jordi barret will carry the all blacks scoring 3 tries each converting all 6 making it 52-42
That depends on how much NZ bribes the ref

Thanks for the information about England winning the RWC in 2003, this is the sort of info that needs to get talked about more, you would think England fans would be only too happy to bring this up at every opportunity, yet they remain silent, shocking!
It's because if you are going to show up to play against any team, you are going to show up to play England. Every nation on earth, even those without a professional team or any national team at all want England to lose.
nick ince Why is this so true lol
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. .... still chuckling and smiling over a week later. Priceless, absolutely fucking priceless. Just love it when England fall on their collective arses.
The short answer. No
The long answer. Noooooooooo
Spot on. Tell us about it! It seems England do it two ways. Blow the lead seemingly because their focus drifts off to a round of golf, or something. Alternatively, they leave it to the last minute for some death defying heroics. Nothing straightforward about this great country of ours, except, that is, for yesterday against the AB's. Sublime. Now, if we can just keep the boys on track for one more game we can all go off for that round of golf and celebrate.
Well Wales ain't gonna win it now LOL so bring it on home bois 🏆🏴🏴
Lol

Such a bitter welshman. But pretty hilarious.
Ben Allen He’s not bitter, he’s just representative of all of us who can’t stand most Poms.... when they win or lose!
Think the reason they drop in the second half is the subs. England’s starting team is as good as any.
But when the subs come on the chemistry isn’t really there
I think a big reason for that is Eddie calls them finishers before he even selects a team so they know they will never really get a shot at starting a game....probably ruins their confidence and just arent willing to put as much of an effort in as the starting players.........probably not but thats just what i think.
After just beating the ABS yes they can 😕

I lived and worked in England for 10 years. One thing I have learned is that when it comes to conniving, backstabbing and condescension; they are undoubtedly world champions. However that stuff does not work in the field of play where you are judged on shire ability.
