Springboks v All Blacks I
-
Half that video is shit from Havili.
Can't promise that Tupaea or RTS would have been better but they can't have been much worse.
Although this Squid dick thinks he's funnier than fuck (but isn't), and always fails to analyse the weaknesses in the winning team or the poor reffing, you can take some of his snippets as correct.
I'm not for one minute blaming everything on Havili but he clearly isn't up to this level.
Most off the problems with him are connection ones with Rieko. Hooking Rieko and putting Tupaea at 13 won't fix that.
I would actually be of the mind to drop RTS in at 12 just to have a pairing that may not place us under pressure on our own ball.
To play this style really does call for well organised heads like Goodhue and ALB. Their absence really doesn't help matters at all. -
@His-Bobness Nice to see you Bob. Takes a few disasters to bring the old boys out of the woodwork!
I thought you might have run with, "Any day now, any day now, I shall be released!"

Once again I'll have to build up to watching, so painful
His shrill narration? Yeah agreed.
If you think the main problem with the last ABs game is his voice, you really are disconected with reality!

Yes but were the Boks as good in training, before the game? That is where the coach really brings his learnings to bear.

I thought we're not allowed to question people's integrity or name call? I'm sure this guy is earning a shit load less than Foster for that privilege...

That doesn’t question his integrity. Name calling is ok. I don’t know his BMI so didn’t comment on that.

@Crucial always? You've watched all his videos?
Fails? That's very strong. Maybe that's not his job ..
We do have room for hyperbole here. Without it the threads would be short.
I just can't believe how you people act towards public figures.

If you can't take Squidge Rugby with a pinch of salt, I mean ... maybe lighten up a bit
Squidge is just a real rugby fan who never started it for the $$$, his early videos were hilarious and so edgy he got banned from using content, so he had to wind things back a lot
If you WANT proper tactical professional analysis read someone Nick Bishop on The Roar and especially pay a tiny amount for RugbyPass plus - I do. Seriously insightful guy https://www.rugbypass.com/plus/contributor/nick-bishop/

Squidge is a young fanatic, trying to make some coin out of something he loves.
Jealousy will get you no where!

I would just play this video to Fozzie and say "Please Explain"

I suspect you underestimate the repetitive and circular nature of certain posters or posters. Not to mention magnificent meme memory fails.

So what is his job at the moment?
'Ian?'
'Yes, Joe?'
'Playing like shit again, Ian.'
'Thanks for the learnings, Joe. Maybe Cane at 7 and captain, Shannon in at 6 to shake things up?'

I lasted 55 secs. Any value is beyond my capacity for putting up with irritating shit.
More importantly the Springboks didn't demolish the All Blacks, the All Blacks placed themselves under pressure time and time again. Teams short on confidence and form drop catchable passes, or over run supporting lines, or shovel to someone else in a worse position.
If the All Blacks played against a team that's good at scoring tries like the Wallabies can, they'd have lost by a lot, lot more on that performance.

We look paralysed by doubt and indecision right now
