What they forgot is that you have to play the team that is in front of you. You need to play against SA in a very different way than you play against NZ. England tried to play the same game in the final and were just wrong. Against the Boks you start with your strongest set piece team, you concentrate on the physical competition you have to stop them before you can beat them. NZ beat the boks by nullifying their pack and then using the fast ball their pack can generate to score as the game goes on. England tried to do this too early and from a position of pack weakness. I'm English but I was a forward so I love South Africa's approach. If you don't at least match them up front you lose. We lost. Best pack won. That's ok.
It is really interesting to see Youngs pass so quickly off the rucks, in pre-planned moves in controlled situations... whereas after a few phases, he seems to spend ages with the ball available in the ruck, killing-off any momentum... thing is, he can be quite an instinctive player at times with his solo breaks, or when he decided to attack australia from turnover ball on the england try line at twickenham, that led to the end-to-end ashton try.
Glad you've seemingly managed to sort out the issues you were having with the channel and copyright (so you can continue eating yoghurt to your heart's delight)
Squidge's monumental world cup effort was such an insane feat of devotion, endurance and creative energy. It's really very inspiring, whatever area you find yourself ferreting away in.
South Africa just outplayed the English..they had no answers to the power and pressure on defence. They went into the game thinking they didn't have to change tactics which was a bit arrogant and nieve
Given this analysis of Jones' gameplan and Squidge's previous observation that he always manages to find a strategy that fits the team he's managing, it would be interesting to see if he had observed a trend of England winning by taking early initiative before he even took the job.
As a kiwi, I have only built up the courage to watch this now. What a great breakdown of our country's pride being destroyed by a Thunderbirds villain.
@@dietersmit6639 is right. I had huge respect for his talent until he turned down the silver. Not an ounce of the spirit of Rugby in him. Probably why he played like shit in the final.
@@dietersmit6639 honestly, this RWC has just confirmed for me that England are not only bad winners (moaning about a disallowed try that was clearly justified in the semi-final, despite winning) but absolutely horrendous losers. I mean I knew the English were poor losers last year when they were called offside against the ABs due to an offside law that was introduced due to Eddie frigging Jones complaining to World Rugby previously... but this just sealed it. ...and honestly, I used to think the Irish were the worst. I think there's just a general attitude problem in the British Isles and it probably explains why the NH has only won a single RWC.
To be honest, this is one of the only fair appraisals of Owen farrel I’ve heard this year and a great video, with the stretched resolution bauden barret!
The editing, flashbacks, commentary and post-match review is excellent and for people who are not "die hard" rugby fans like myself it's an opportunity to be able to notice the details that many of us did not pay attention to during the world cup frenzy.
I thought it made sense AND was relevant to the game. When this video was made, everyone believed that England were going to crush SA in the final and that only Wales could have prevented them from winning the tournament.
@@jonnutter Yeah perhaps smash was a bit of a stretch lol. Sorry. But the list of pundits who thought England would win the game included Warren Gatland, Rod Kafer, Ian McGeechan, Matt Dawson and Clive Woodward. Even overlooking the slight British bias there, sports betting averaged around 1/2 for England and 9/4 for South Africa, making England firm favourites. Suited us just fine bwahahaha!!
Content idea from now on, Look into teams tactics, or general rugby tactics that are used by top teams. From certain backs moves to how forwards are spread out in formations and pods :))))
NZ knew that SA would take this; making it another SH victory... Our nations ( SANZAAR (South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina) are a lot tighter than the Northern Hemisphere teams. People say that the 6 Nations is the ultimate rugby tournament, but they've never watched a day of Rugby Championship in their lives...
As a kiwis, I enjoyed the analysis. Good video. But I also think England were just better in all facets that day (and the previous autumn when we were lucky to win by a point). But England's start really set the tone. That analysis that they basically had to do training ground drill because nz never completed in the rucks is a great insight. I hope the ab coaches watched this!
Probably the least enjoyable video of yours yet, yet i still loved it. It felt like You basically made a third of the video about wales simply to point out how they have england's 2019 number. You also seemed to ignore englands defense beside New Zealand making mistakes. If AWJ had put in the game Itoje had youd give him an individual breakdown but you only said Maros name once despite his absolute amazing game. Still love ya squidge
I get what you saying... interesting that (as a Springbok supporter) in the week b4 the final, I was found myself watching EngVWales games from 2018/19 to see what they did to break Eng down... So I think there's good reason for it.
Its a bit weird saying that Wales had England’s number: since the previous RWC they had beaten England in one competitive match and one RWC warm up. The warm up saw a largely experimental English team go down to the full Wales team in Cardiff by the margin of a very contested try (and had won the previous warm up match in Twickenham with another experimental team of dirt trackers). Sure the six nations win was well-deserved, but Wales had to come from losing at half time, so hardly a one-sided affair. Farrell and Jones got their tactics wrong and I do wonder if there was an element of keeping their powder dry for the RWC. So all in all, if Wales had England’s number, they’ve been pretty damn shy about about dialling it (and they forgot to call it again this year)
A week later the Springboks . I felt better that we were beaten by a superior team and effort . They deserved it and we didn't on the day . Clever powerful team .
Lmao @ Wales beating the Springboks. Shame these poor English cant accept that we beat, smashed, pounded and nailed them to the ground so they make up fantasy wins against us. South Africa is world champions for a 3rd time so looks like England haven't watched Springboks play to beat the Springboks. Better luck in 4 years.
Bo Pik Have you watched the Squidge video about Wales and SA? And also: Keep in mind the Boks changed their gameplan a bit after the Wales game, and they also played way way better.
@Bo Pik I'm South African and I agree fully. Eng were nieve thinking they could take the same tactics that beat NZ into the final. They should have played the Wales / South African game in the final... They have the players and it would have been a much closer game.
I must that as first when I started watching your videos I didn't like them but over time you have grown on me.

@@milochapman8050 that and the fact that sometimes your team and pundits seem like total cunts no offence but I'm from Scotland and the whole Hamish Watson thing really pissed some people off, and there's more times than that
Mad respect for your rugby knowledge. Just one thing i don't agree with when you said AB's have no reference point of pulling wins out their arse after trail5the whole game. I'm sure if you look into the Rugby Championship/Tri Nations stats you'd find that they've trailed many many matches, and then come back in the last 10 or so minutes to score a couple of tries and win it. That's where they got their reputation of being the wolrd's fittest rugby team, cause they just keep playing when other teams start to fade after 60 minutes. You're ability to read the game and strategies is top shelf though. Excellent work.
A perfect game by England. 2 years in the planning Eddie said. But you have to play 3 great knockout games in a row to win the World Cup. Seems they run out of puff a week later. Non the less this was a spectator performance.
Wow these analysis videos have been even more amazing than your videos usually are. The 2 semi final videos and the final videos are rugby analysis porn.
I'm England through and through, for me England playing like this one week and then getting smashed the next week shows why New Zealand have been the best side. England came with an awesome performance but weren't able to back it up the next week. New Zealand can back up a performance like that for a handful of games before they lull and the lull is still too much for most sides except the top five when they're playing well. England played amazing but I was still worried in the last 10 minutes NZL would steal it like they did against Ireland in 2013. As champs the Boks have a chance to show us if they can back that England performance as their new standard of play, that they're not just the best tournament side for a year, they're still pretty young, should be interesting. As for Warren Gatland's comments, they're total nonsense, if England hadn't played like that they would have been playing Wales for the bronze medal, Gatland is just a sour bottom feeder who hates English rugby. England would have needed All Blacks consistency to back up their performance against the Boks and then it still would have been down to the wire because the Boks were ready for war.
The final which should have been played was SA vs Wales. It was unfortunate that they had to meet in only the semi -finals. New Zealand,Wales and South Africa knew this; England did not. Well played Southern Hemisphere and Wales! Oh,and by the way... many thanks to Wales fur their respect and support. Us Springboks send the same to you...
@@masonmason3590 If you're desperate to count the World Cup warm up matches then you do you, even with them England have 5 out of the last 7, with them 4 out of the last 6. But sure, bend the statistics to fit your narrative. On that note, notice how dominant England have been over the All Blacks in recent times? We've beaten them all 1 out of the last 1 games!
George Green the irony of you using stats to make an argument AND THEN disputing the value of stats when they don’t fit your narrative is clearly lost on you.
@@masonmason3590 I used statistics that cover a reasonable period of time to make a point. You then deliberately took a smaller sample including two games that are basically friendlies without first teams picked to create a stat that fitted your narrative. If you really believe that Wales have Englands number based of those 3 results than its not my fault youre deluded.
George Green It wasn’t a reasonable period of time that you referred to in order to evidence your point. The reasonable (and relevant) period of time would have been the more recent period that I cited. Your period went back to a game that happened 4 years ago, which is essentially irrelevant in proving or disproving the statement. The statement that “Wales have England’s number” could only be proven or refuted by referring to the more recent meetings that I cited. No hard feelings, but I think I’ve got your number here 😂
I think you were making this video more about Wales than England themselves. Very annoying IMO. Wales are going to be more likely to understand Englands' game as they play them more often . But its 2 games each that the sides have won in the last 4 games ( that last game decided on an English team caught napping). I don't feel as if Wales have the template for beating England' as if they had they would be dominant. England scored one try , one fairly disallowed for blocking and another because of some suspect decision at what happened at the back of a maul to set up Ben Youngs. I also feel that you denied the brilliance of Maro Itoje. I do not feel England are an arrogant team either and it seems you make speculative comments rather than watching what the players and coach say about the opposition they are about to face. Very Welsh in bias as I suspect this would be
Your comments are very biased towards England, but you don't have a channel that anyone watches. So we accept your comments and you will need to accept his.
How is it annoying when you can't simply analyse a single game in isolation from the rest of a team's games leading up to it? You're right - it's not like the ABs face England annually, unlike SA who faced England four times last year and knew exactly what to expect. Ahhhhh and no team has a set 'template' for beating another team in tier 1 Rugby - you're implying that England wouldn't have the chance to adapt to Wales' game. Imagine still moaning about the second disallowed try, which was blatantly a knock-on - and one would expect to be analysed and picked up on in the finals of a RWC. I like how you mentioned Itoje in one breath then claimed England aren't arrogant in the other. Did you see him receiving his medal? Honestly sums up their attitude, but frankly I can't blame them since they were hoping to win you Northern Hemisphereans your second Webb Ellis - but failed spectacularly.
Of course professional sides play to a plan. The real difference here is pressure. Most sides wait to see what the ABs are going to do. To late. They've done it. England didn't wait. The defense was relentless. They strangled the ABs. And of course, Eddie focused on the semi. Forgot about the final. Well done South Africa
I agree with you but I would also point out that I think it’s also nerves too for the defending team. Think about how many times the all blacks or what ever team would be forced to clear a ball from nearly the exact same spot but England didn’t score off their line outs in the same spot.
The theory about England's kick-offs is interesting, but I wonder whether you've compared it to other teams. My sense is that it's not that uncommon for a team to kick deep, then for the other to kick it back (and into touch). Then using the lineout as a platform is highly unusual. England obviously start well, but that might be a psychological thing rather there being any tactical innovation.
First off I like to say that the English game plan was good, the AB's just made a couple of stuff ups in who they played, also hats off to eddy and England for not getting pinged for offside as much as they should had
My principal Alan Maginty ( I think that's how its spelled) is my principal. He's from Ireland. I just think it's kinda cool that his name is said by my favourite sport TH-camr
I will tell you , are England day in day out a better team? No , Eddie gave stale old Hansen a Masterclass in tactics, he studied the all blacks and knew exactly how to beat them on the day . Unfortunately for Eddie and England they were to focused on beating NZ and forgot they had a World Cup to win and came crashing back to reality in the final . I don’t think they cared what happened as long as they got one up on the all blacks .
If New Zealand had altered their offensive ruck play after the 3rd time England pushed them off the ball and commited more than one person to the ruck they would probably have cleaned up because England put so much stock into turnover ball that they left holes around the edges. Because NZ didn't adapt they couldn't get the ball back to run it through the gaps.
7 mins of this video focuses on 1 missed tackle by mo'unga. Lots of teams score early against the All Blacks. It's not why England won. All other points by England came from NZ playing out of their 22m. Squidge has kind of said that and good point about NZ game plan fitting SA rather, but really NZ f*cked this up. Finals rugby is finals rugby. NZ ran 600m this game, twice as many as Eng, but Aus had already shown, that game plan doesn't win.
Ha! Famous last words :) Thanks for another great analysis. The All Blacks will regroup and be back to continue to be a ball-ache to everyone else, but for now Bokkkkkkkeeeeee!
love your view on games, but cracked myself when I saw one of your "THE WONDERFUL PATREONS" with the name Piet Pompies, he must be South African because that name is the name you give someone when you want to make it obvious that you don't want them to know who you really are. It's mostly used in a very sarcastic manner.
I get so tilted when I see these comments. Yes, England definitely went into a World Cup final against a team that went WLD before the world cup with the best team in the world, thinking they had already won. (Please note this is a sarcastic comment)
Actually you pointing out that England is a prickishly arrogant team and that Eddie Jones deliberately cultivated that aura in them, kind of makes me like them a bit more. Call it Stockholm syndrome I suppose.
What about talking about the rucks? There was like barely any ruck security from the all blacks. Every third tackle England were on that ball and almost stealing it. All blacks forwards just got bullied barely turning any ball over. Didn’t look threatening at the rucks
"Lock Scott and two smoking Barret's" Robbie you've outdone yourself son that's incredible
Alex Gingell “goal kickers, you mean like kickers that kick goals?”

Mate this was one of the best lines I've heard in a while
Please can someone explain this to me
im not sure if you saw it, but at 1:13 , you will see Ben Youngs passing it to one of his team mates and not just throwing it into touch.
Yeah, that moment will be on Youngs’ career highlight reel

Well played Southern Hemisphere and Wales! Oh,and by the way... many thanks to Wales fur their respect and support. Us Springboks send the same to you...
"Wales are the one team who have England's number..."
Also Wales: Lost to England in 5 out of the last 7 games...
George Green or won 2 of the last 3...
@@masonmason3590 If you're desperate to count the World Cup warm up matches then you do you, even with them England have 5 out of the last 7, with them 4 out of the last 6. But sure, bend the statistics to fit your narrative.
On that note, notice how dominant England have been over the All Blacks in recent times? We've beaten them all 1 out of the last 1 games!
George Green the irony of you using stats to make an argument AND THEN disputing the value of stats when they don’t fit your narrative is clearly lost on you.
@@masonmason3590 I used statistics that cover a reasonable period of time to make a point. You then deliberately took a smaller sample including two games that are basically friendlies without first teams picked to create a stat that fitted your narrative. If you really believe that Wales have Englands number based of those 3 results than its not my fault youre deluded.
George Green It wasn’t a reasonable period of time that you referred to in order to evidence your point. The reasonable (and relevant) period of time would have been the more recent period that I cited. Your period went back to a game that happened 4 years ago, which is essentially irrelevant in proving or disproving the statement. The statement that “Wales have England’s number” could only be proven or refuted by referring to the more recent meetings that I cited. No hard feelings, but I think I’ve got your number here 😂
I think you were making this video more about Wales than England themselves. Very annoying IMO. Wales are going to be more likely to understand Englands' game as they play them more often . But its 2 games each that the sides have won in the last 4 games ( that last game decided on an English team caught napping). I don't feel as if Wales have the template for beating England' as if they had they would be dominant.
England scored one try , one fairly disallowed for blocking and another because of some suspect decision at what happened at the back of a maul to set up Ben Youngs. I also feel that you denied the brilliance of Maro Itoje. I do not feel England are an arrogant team either and it seems you make speculative comments rather than watching what the players and coach say about the opposition they are about to face. Very Welsh in bias as I suspect this would be
Your comments are very biased towards England, but you don't have a channel that anyone watches. So we accept your comments and you will need to accept his.
How is it annoying when you can't simply analyse a single game in isolation from the rest of a team's games leading up to it? You're right - it's not like the ABs face England annually, unlike SA who faced England four times last year and knew exactly what to expect. Ahhhhh and no team has a set 'template' for beating another team in tier 1 Rugby - you're implying that England wouldn't have the chance to adapt to Wales' game.
Imagine still moaning about the second disallowed try, which was blatantly a knock-on - and one would expect to be analysed and picked up on in the finals of a RWC.
I like how you mentioned Itoje in one breath then claimed England aren't arrogant in the other. Did you see him receiving his medal? Honestly sums up their attitude, but frankly I can't blame them since they were hoping to win you Northern Hemisphereans your second Webb Ellis - but failed spectacularly.
Yeh he loves Wales and JONES! this guy is undeniably and brilliantly biased. This is entertainment buddy not a report for a sports news channel
Thenoncrapulentfool ok boomer
Would love to know how much you think this result is devalued (if it at all) by our complete capitulation in the final?
It isn't devalued at all. Eddie Jones tried to get too cute in ways that absolutely played into SA's hands, and SA executed. These things happen.
Of course professional sides play to a plan.
The real difference here is pressure.
Most sides wait to see what the ABs are going to do. To late. They've done it.
England didn't wait. The defense was relentless. They strangled the ABs.
And of course, Eddie focused on the semi.
Forgot about the final.
Well done South Africa
You are funniest youtuber in the world😂😂
I agree with you but I would also point out that I think it’s also nerves too for the defending team. Think about how many times the all blacks or what ever team would be forced to clear a ball from nearly the exact same spot but England didn’t score off their line outs in the same spot.
7:35 that was the funniest pun i have ever heard omg
Hahaha "clicked stretch"
Just put ur prejudices aside and tell it like it is! This was a fantastic performance.
The theory about England's kick-offs is interesting, but I wonder whether you've compared it to other teams. My sense is that it's not that uncommon for a team to kick deep, then for the other to kick it back (and into touch). Then using the lineout as a platform is highly unusual. England obviously start well, but that might be a psychological thing rather there being any tactical innovation.
First off I like to say that the English game plan was good, the AB's just made a couple of stuff ups in who they played, also hats off to eddy and England for not getting pinged for offside as much as they should had
My principal Alan Maginty ( I think that's how its spelled) is my principal. He's from Ireland. I just think it's kinda cool that his name is said by my favourite sport TH-camr
am i the only one wondering "how on earth did Steven O'hansen miss so much of Eddies innovation "?
I will tell you , are England day in day out a better team? No , Eddie gave stale old Hansen a Masterclass in tactics, he studied the all blacks and knew exactly how to beat them on the day . Unfortunately for Eddie and England they were to focused on beating NZ and forgot they had a World Cup to win and came crashing back to reality in the final . I don’t think they cared what happened as long as they got one up on the all blacks .
“The Eddie Jones team is just full of absolute bastards”😂
Thank you 🙌🏾
I said the weekend before this match that I had a feeling England could do it. No one in my family believed me. Jokes on them...😂
Bloody legend
Were you having a bowel movement at 09:57?
the reason why they lost was because they had mounga and radio saves playing. if Kane and ben smith was playing instead they would have won
The key was getting more points than the All Blacks.
I'm not sure if you have super rugby games but could you please try do how the crusaders won it 3x in a row..I like Scott Robertson
If New Zealand had altered their offensive ruck play after the 3rd time England pushed them off the ball and commited more than one person to the ruck they would probably have cleaned up because England put so much stock into turnover ball that they left holes around the edges. Because NZ didn't adapt they couldn't get the ball back to run it through the gaps.
Wales had Englands number? Didn't they drill you at Twickenham with their B team?
But they have lost twice to Wales this year
Is there anything South Africa do to stop them ...well this dated well
7 mins of this video focuses on 1 missed tackle by mo'unga. Lots of teams score early against the All Blacks. It's not why England won. All other points by England came from NZ playing out of their 22m. Squidge has kind of said that and good point about NZ game plan fitting SA rather, but really NZ f*cked this up. Finals rugby is finals rugby. NZ ran 600m this game, twice as many as Eng, but Aus had already shown, that game plan doesn't win.
Ha! Famous last words :) Thanks for another great analysis. The All Blacks will regroup and be back to continue to be a ball-ache to everyone else, but for now Bokkkkkkkeeeeee!
Anyone else here watching post the firing in Dec 2022?
love your view on games, but cracked myself when I saw one of your "THE WONDERFUL PATREONS" with the name Piet Pompies, he must be South African because that name is the name you give someone when you want to make it obvious that you don't want them to know who you really are. It's mostly used in a very sarcastic manner.
Great to see you back on You Tube Squidge...how the All Blacks lost? Look, I don't wat to talk about it, OKAY!
If it's any consolation mate, the World Cup stays in the Southern Hemisphere. Possibly not but we have Super Rugby to look forward to.
@@BawlzOfuzz The World Cup belongs to the SH, there was only one hiccup in 2003 :D
@@matiasrisso5917 a mere blip mate 😉
Wales can beat England. The Boks can beat England. But the AB`s can`t 😂😂😂
@@myrddingwynedd2751 I reckon if the AB's played England tomorrow they would win handsomely. I have faith in my NZ cuzzies to bounce back even harder.
love how he licks out Wales throughout
Before the clock hits 2, and after it hits 1, is the second minute, not first.
/pedant
England play different game now
They played there final early
I get so tilted when I see these comments. Yes, England definitely went into a World Cup final against a team that went WLD before the world cup with the best team in the world, thinking they had already won. (Please note this is a sarcastic comment)
Actually you pointing out that England is a prickishly arrogant team and that Eddie Jones
deliberately cultivated that aura in them, kind of makes me like them a bit more.
Call it Stockholm syndrome I suppose.
I think doing that V-formation During the Haka, rattled the All Blacks and they played crap.
What about talking about the rucks? There was like barely any ruck security from the all blacks. Every third tackle England were on that ball and almost stealing it. All blacks forwards just got bullied barely turning any ball over. Didn’t look threatening at the rucks
Mr squidge are you from eng or wales ?
SA 32 - England 12. Hopefully that smirk is permanently wiped of Owen Farell's face!!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇
