- The Razor Robertson era finally began on Saturday as the All Blacks just about overcame an England team showing us all just what a serious side they are. So how did New Zealand see it home, what can England take from the game, and how does it set up Saturday's second test?

We are living in a golden age of rugby at the moment, so many good players, teams and coaches where i think we are going to see teams routinely beating eachother.
Indeed, I bet that we'll see rugby teams beating each other in every single match, except when it's a draw. :P
Kidding aside, I completely agree - the margins between great and greatest have gotten so fine, and every rugby match has so many variables, that this could well be an age of upsets, where any top side can beat any other on their day!
Yes, teams will beat others. That's the point. But England are the only nation on earth that lose matches and then believe they're on the way up.

@@Sunshinez732you do release how mind numbing we were before right?
I will bet any money that scott Robertson will have a winning record in excess of 75% before he finishes
to rip the english fullback shirt off of freddie steward so comprehensively is such an outrageous achievement by flight lieutenant furbank. seriously has turned into one of my favourite players to watch at the minute
Honestly can’t fault much of his performance and the threat in attack and heart on defence has definitely boosted his standings for me too
he's improved so much at Test level the past couple years. I am eating my initial doubts
Can he play 13 and steward 15?
@@UmuroElema or can Steward play 12, Lawrence at 13?
Man, best analysis on the internet. Sky sport should pay you for spots, it’s so beautiful man. I’m impressed and learn something everytime. In awe of your skill.
I agree!
In Squidge we believe!
@@brengray2453 The funniest thing is - Squidge has never played rugby to any level - and he keeps making mistakes that skewer the media narrative that he desperately trying to push. Case in point, anyone who's played to any level knows that the "corner-flagging" line that he attributes to Kolisi is.. a blind side flanker line. And that's a problem because Kolisi's 6 shirt is an open side fetcher shirt in ZA rugby. That MIGHT be fine but.. ZA Already Have a brilliant Blind Side Flank in PSdT so why is Siya playing as.. another blind side who CANNOT fetch? Why is ZA reduced to picking their best 6 -Kwagga Smith- as an out of sorts 8, just to give them a chance at the breakdown? Why do the Bokke suddenly do so much better at the breakdown the moment Captain 49 Minutes gets subbed? Don't ask the media, they suddenly lose the ability to do any in depth metrics on the breakdown battle the moment Kolisi steps on the pitch. But most people who play rugby can see what the problem is. Kolisi is SO Amay-zing that.. the Bokke do a whole heap better the moment he is no longer on the pitch..
@@chadthecat7248 odd thing for a cat to be upset about

An on-fire Alex Mitchell is genuinely so underrated by England fans, even though he gets a moderate amount of praise, I don’t think it’s enough for what he can do. He doesn’t snipe anywhere near as much as he used to and therefore defences still need to watch for it, allowing him so much more time to set the attack. Him and Furbank are a lot of the reason as to why Saints were the best prem team last year.
Simple game plan for Razor this weekend.. basically play the Dunedin second half in the first half. Forward dominant, set piece to set piece, maul, pick and go then box kick constantly keeping the English forwards under pressure and backtracking. This should pay dividends in the second half with tiring forwards and fresh bench players.
The first handful of games will be keep it simple at least until
the team has some time to gel then they will slowly add some complexity.
It's good to see Maro back at his best: hes always been a brilliant breakdown operator and peobably the best lock at the breakdown in the world
He always saves his best games for NZ. I wish he wouldn’t!!😅
Really insightful Squidge. England can walk away satisfied with the performance (i certainly was) can’t wait for Saturday
Note that all blacks had 10 days to prep as a full team for this game. They will be much better this week. Wait and see.
I wouldn't be surprised if this fixture becomes 1st in the world vs 2nd by the time we reach 2027. There was an element of composure and accuracy from both sides that I don't think I've seen in a game of rugby since (perhaps) Sa vs NZ 2015 Semi final
i think ireland are or the way down in 2027, if the last 2 games of 6 nations had been ire v france and eng i dont know if ireland would have won it!
It could easily be France SA. I thought the France SA semi final or Ireland sa group match of 23' were on par with almost any match I've seen
I think Ireland, South Africa and France would all beg to differ.
@@mackerel2002France should be the best at all times , but always beatable because they are French. .
@@kev63inuk so explain NZ losing streak since they cant blackbird pacific island players!
I have watched Rugby from the day i was born & every time i consume some Squidge, I learn something new. Top class analysis as always. Love from Australia.
As a Kiwi I was really impressed with Englands defence they’re now a solid team I can see them winning the six nations again in the near future give them time and they will be a threat again
their defence was offside all game.Pity that Georgian ref ignored it.
@richardscanlan3419 sounds like a salty comment because the All Blacks didn't win by 15 points. Remember: the world had to endure McCaw and very dodgy All Blacks defense for a decade. Now suddenly the Kiwis are on the Blackfoot, people like you and scrambling and can't accept their own tactics used against them
@@richardscanlan3419 🤣
Squidge has by far the best analysis I’ve ever seen in any sport. Such a treat to watch
I really thought the difference between the two teams was in the last 25 minutes second half where NZ changed style of play completely. Credit to Beauden who was so influential in that.
That said, for me, that was Borthwick's first big in-game error. Taking off Mitchell & Smith for a new half-back pairing of Spencer & Finn Smith (who had never played a game together before) really hampered England's ability to respond to the NZ change of style. Not helped that George, the captain, was also off.
How many of the top 4 (SA, Ireland, NZ & France) regularly replace their 10 in a tight game? Aside from the kicking, I think that was Marcus' best game for England. Really pulled the strings in attack and did a lot of good in his defensive role. With England losing the territory game, I felt like they needed to move to a system with phases of attack which you needed the starting 10 to run. Instead we changed 3 key decision-makers and kept playing in a way that allowed NZ to retain control. Felt like the game ended with a whimper, rather than a real push to win.
This analysis is pure gold. Keep it up man, love your stuff!
This is why so many of us kiwis were calling for Razor, hes a student of the game and can set his ego aside, unlike Foster seeing it year in and year out really annoyed the f outta me as a hurricanes fan, but he just knows how to adjust to the opponent and target not only their weaknesses but their strengths, they won't win every game but when it counts, he knows how to piss people off 😂
Excellent analysis as per usual Squidgey, love this “older format”.
Thanks Squidge team for all your effort to get us this content. Much appreciated and I can’t wait for the Boks analysis!
One often overlooked strength of the All Blacks is their rugby IQ & their ability to problem solve. It took them to half time to do this on Saturday but it still happened. For their first game they managed that cagey second half well. They always improve for the second game against an opponent because they know where to fix and where to apply pressure. I think you'll see some attacking adjustments this weekend and they'll get some more pay from their attack.
No its all about the aura and refs.

Ohhh I was hoping you did this one. I remember watching the game thinking “aight Imma need squidge’s keen rugby eye to point out the things razor changed”.
I really hope you do one on SA as well. A deep dive on how the attack shapes under tony would be damn interesting.
I love this channel! I make sure I tune in Everytime they post a video
Early days, but Marcus will be one of the greats one day. I'll come back to this in a few years...
I’ve been watching you for a few years, and the level of your analysis is better and better each year. Brilliant insights.
Sir u are the goat
Just I have been needing somewhere to say this.. how amazing has Underhill been recently, what an incredible player. Amount of work he puts in every game is unbelievable, dont know what ankle based incident traumatised him as a child but he has never forgotten and he single mindedly trying to avenge that. Always love watching him play
It was good to see England not playing negative-rugby for perhaps to first time from the games I've seen. Maybe I've just become so accustomed to South Africa and NH teams faking injuries to catch their breath that any amount of speed from them is a much welcomed change.
Thanks for this in depth detail Squidge!😊

Fantastic video! Subbed
awesome analysis
Dankie Squidgy! 💪🏻🤙🏻
Razor is exactly what, I think, rugby needs atm. A fun breakdancing coach to the overdog bastards the all blacks. Playing a game whatever way it takes to win (hit the nail on the head there squidge). Am v pumped for the return match for a bit of redemption. UP THE ROSES
Top analysis as always mate. I wish the commentary teams and post game media did this.
What a difference 4 years makes. Anyone else remember the first time Squidge talked about Furbank on this channel?
I certainly do and i can't help but giggle everytime squidge sings his praise after he said he was solid enough as a premiership player but would never be enough for test rugby.
Wow, I liked that one Squidge Rugby, had a sneaky suspicion in the past that you weren't a fan of the All Blacks, I mean no one loves them like we do here of course, but there are people/nations out there in the big wide world that would love nothing more than to see us lose (by 2 points or more!). It's ok though, because 20 years ago I hated Sterling Mortlock and I would be a hypocrite to complain. edit: make that 25 years ago - yikes!
It's awesome England bought some good, close test match footy down, we are thrilled to have them here and look forward to the next match. 🖤
Squidge hates the ABs. That has been well documented.
@@stevenbissett - touché 😎
This video has been blocked in NZ now?!! By Sky TV NZ on copyright grounds, just saying this through the notification part
England played the Springbok game against the All Blacks which was to smother them. You cannot beat the worlds greatest team of all time by playing their style of rugby. You need to stop them from winning and that involves putting bodies on the line by pushing them back in the tackle and denying them space. England did exactly that and came very close to beating them. This England needs to do again. The win will come. Springbok fan.
Hopefully Razor will recognise and rectify that I’m sure his players and coaches will be more prepared for that next game cos it’s pretty dam true
I remember France doing that to them years ago, it did not go good for the ABs 3 games straight of France doing exactly that
Superb once again
How did England push nz so hard? Nearly 2 years of preparation, cohesion and embedding of systems, structures and game plans, versus an entirely new all blacks coaching set up with entirely new attack and defense shapes, structures systems and game plans on 10 days prep.
Nice analysis guys
I'll pay your closing "Here's to you, Mr. 😀Robertson"!!
When will Lt. Furbank get his well-deserved field promotion
With half the team being captain or vice captain rn i'd imagine soon
As a kiwi I’ve been saying, Razor won us that game, he made early changes and changed tactic on the fly.
Amazing work as ever! England potentially building something special. 😅
this first all black game in attack had an air of dave rennie's australia to me. at it's core it felt like they were trying to play too fast for the (still developing and bedding in) english defence to contain. very curious to see how the 2nd game goes
Thanks squidge
hey squidge love your work video excellent as usual. wondering if we could get a wallabies breakdown soon? keen to hear your thoughts on our test against wales
Brilliant!!😊
Honestly, most of the time England are offside like SA.
Have yiu thought about coaching or assisting?, got some great insight that even some players aren't aware of 😂😂😂 great videos bro.
Dupont's influence on rugby is so great even game analyses of OTHER TEAMS refer to his play style.
Getting strong Princess Caroline tongue twister vibes from Squidge here and I'm all for it
Love how England just snatches one springbok coach after each World Cup
Thank you
Men's red roses 🤣 love it
Really interesting to see how Maro is being used differently. Incredible player but hasn’t been utilised to get the best out of him. Hopefully this tweak will let us see more of the Maro-nause!
Legend
The weakness in England's rush-defence is that Razor is...well super sharp. Watch for new AB tactics, eswpecially the kick in behind England toward either corner touchline to force thm back AND gain territory. Winning the lineout in your 22 really just leaves the safe option of kicking for touch. Also, Razor will be tempted to start runaway freight train Aumua, with our best forward pack (so same as 1st test except for Aumua). And I'd go for a 6-2 split bomb squad for the 2nd half to run England off their feet. DMac will turn up with his own kicking boots (instead of his sister's) and he'll learn to count to 60 in his head now lol. Sititi should be on the bench, and I'd be tempted to put Finau there too - and start Blackadder. So my bench woud be taylor, newell, tuungafasi, vaa'i, finau and sititi, with beaudie and ratima the only backs.
No need to count, they're putting up a shot clock at Eden park. :D
@aurigarvel727 lol I heard. Was joking.... PS I tried to find out if ANYONE independent of that ref actually counted out the 60secs?
7 weeks head start with the 6 nations tournament earlier this year, NZ new coach, 5 new caps, key players out injured, Hmmmm a bit cheap to call it early....
Ardman’s own nine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A few things that also made the difference were the NZ scrum having the upper hand (whether legally or not) and the NZ bench being better. Borthwick who has done a lot right, made a mistake in taking off some of our best attacking players in Mitchell, M Smith and Chandler Cunningham South. But all in all it was a pretty good match up. There is now it seems very little between SA, NZ, France, Ireland and England which is making for some great test matches. Australia also could be making a resurgence as well.
Lets see how Razor progresses this team and we have almost moved back to the old school rugby of the 70's and 80's, were we see close fought battles with accuracy being the winner on the day.
Maybe the running rugby the AB's used to play is over for now..
Retain the penalty count once you know what the referees are strict on. Contest kicking and impact of the bench. That's how the ABs won 🏆
My brother in christ you have the best rugby videos on youtube but please slow down just a smidge. I have to rewatch chunks over and over cause I can barely make out what youre saying half the time
It helps to lower the speed of the video a bit 😅
I thought the ABs won because they respected the pill and looked after it, and the boys put in the hard yards, with of course full credit to the opposition.
phenomenal post game interview
The contrasting coaching boxes tell a big story
Englands defense was epic, but there were a few offsides.
I think at least 3 penalties were missed by the ref.
But, if you can get away with it, do it
Sole im telling Pastor on you
"if you can get away with it"

@@jdb9388 dry😂
Loving the new George Furbank jokes! Hoping he can remain in the England squad as long as Jonny Sexton to see how long you can stretch them out.
I was impressed with eng defence. Will be at the game
Remarkable the All Blacks achieved what they did with just 10 days in camp against a team that are battle hardened after 6 Nations
😂 the 6 nations was 6 months ago you weirdo
Felix Jones employing Boks defense system..........coaches are evolving with the game.........
I'd expect the All Black's to improve a lot by the next game good effort to get the win. NZ have been together a couple of weeks new coaches and players England have had a six nations and warm up games reckon NZ would have lost if it was the old setup
Couldn't agree more. I attribute the win , one point, to our 16th man. Razor
Actually can't disagree with you there.
Pretty solid analysis. Makes😅 one think game too defence focused which isn’t good for expansive rugby. Still think limiting replacements would force teams into balancing power with skill. 120kg doesn’t run for 80 mins and that used to be the trade off now they only have to run 40. If they can’t run for 80 then they shouldn’t be there. They just shut the game down and don’t allow the true skills and abilities of those that can play the 80 minutes are there to bring to the game.
No wonder Squidge thought Underhill was unreal, because there apparently are two of him on the pitch 😂
I love how squidge titles the video "So how did the all blacks overcome england? | Test 1 Analysis"
Before spending the majority of the video talking about how well the english did
NZ tactical changes is how Eng played SA in the WRC finals. Eng kicked everything giving SA nothing to hit. It’s very effective for blitz defences.
Lmao, I'm going to be calling them the men's Red Roses from now on
South A fan here. Did anyone see how lazy M.Smiths run to the wing was for the S.Reece try? Pollard, Sacha F.Mzulu. J. Crowley or a full-back would potentially work harder and stop that move.
Actually, actually, I did enjoy it.
Borthwick’s substitutions made Eng worse and Razor’s made NZ better. Eng left some exceptional young talents at home. NZ have many talents out of contention. All in all, Eng missed again taking a huge scalp. The jury is still out on Borthwick - but Jones seems to have had a positive impact. I expect that was Eng’s only chance down there. Would love to be proven wrong - but the NZ talent and coaching nouse of Robertson is at another level.
Scored one more point !
are you going to be making a video on Ireland vs south africa?
'tis the season/weekend
no mention of the scrums
"Aardman's own 9" 😂
I'll just say what everyone is thinking... where's the Springboks v Ireland analysis? Can't wait!!
I've been playing the Etzebeth role on EA sports rugby since 2006 but I've normally used a back. I can see why they use Underhill but imagine a fast guy in that role.
Lomu
@@Dilmahkana IDK if Lomu is on Rugby '06
Not always a massive fan of these videos, but this one was particularly interesting to watch and well put together.
That's painful seeing Mounga unelgible in the Stands. Be good when Razor gets him back and Jordan can play 15. I like that English 9. ABs have no run threat from 9 at all until Roigard recovers.
I'd say Hotham is a pretty good running threat
Ratima?
Yup. Mo'unga will come back before the next RWC. With Jordan potentially back for the Rugby Championship and Roigard potentially on the end of year tour. The AB's backline can only get better.
Anyone else get baited by multiple sentences that sounded like leading into the non-existent Squearespace ad?

4:08 offside 😂
England played a good game 😊
So many kicks in the second half. While I enjoyed the kicks being just long enough to be gathered and then Sevu Reece absolutely smashing Furbank, id like to see a greater mix of those just long enough to be collected by England and then proper contestable kicks. Plus there was a shocker, where DMac puts up a lovely chip kick... and who is the player dawdling to retrieve it... Scott Barrett, not exactly the most speedy player. Looking forward to Will Jordan returning.
Whens the glasgow vid squidge
I feel like 'let a big lad just get smashed' is a good way to go. Keep pounding that ball at England with the big lads - Asafo Aumua is about twice as fast as any big man on England, if he gets through the middle it's going to be a problem for England (I hope he gets the start this week). And it will tire out the England defense. Let the big men run up the middle over and over, then go outside. Trying to force it outside when you haven't forced England to compress the defense seems unlikely to succeed.
I loved Aumua coming off the bench. Maybe when Samisoni comes back we'll have two strong, fast, aggresive hooker ball runners
1:19 careful now
The other thing I noticed about the ABs change to the kicking game was that they then changed it up slightly part way through.
They tried the sort of wipers infield kicks of Dmac but then later oh started firing more long downfield kicks straight into Lt. Furbank and rush get someone to smash him backwards to stop him running it back.
