That takes me back to how Kitch Christy trained the Boks back in '95. Man those guys were focused and spoke about it later in interviews. The confidence that the coach inspired because they had a very clear plan and work to do when one part of it was done. Someone (from Zambia actualy) asked on the Springbok group what the Holy Grail refers to. He clarified the coach mentioned it in one of the half time speeches during BIL tour. BIL is many things but defo not the holy grail to us. I think he caught a reference to the long term plan being discussed. Consecutive World Cups. Just my opinion though.

In the apartheid years, this self-belief was tainted with racism, but now we must build this confidence forward as a nation combining the strength of all our cultures and ethnicities. We should make the world tremble at the feet of our forwards, and make them weep by the ferocity of our attack. Beating the ABs should not be seen as a crowning achievement, but the natural result of great preparation and execution.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I wish more people were able to appreciate the game on this level; maybe then the Boks wouldn't get so much flak for playing "boring" rugby. To most fans/spectators, the ideal game apparently is what Super Rugby was for years, with non-stop running, crazy offloads and 12 tries per match, with a final score of 40-38. Bok test rugby is more like a game of chess. The type of chess where the pieces can hit you in the face with a hammer.

The Boks were outstanding. Calm, measured, totally understood their game plan. This allowed them to be organised, handle pressure well, and execute without really even considering what the opposition was doing or otherwise. The ABs were the exact opposite. Panicked, all over the show, a dreadful or even non-existent game plan. Therefore disorganised, error ridden, and no script to play from, This sits squarly with the coach. Grow some balls NZR and sack him And the captain cant handle the pressure. I cant think of another ABs captain who capitulated like Sam Cane did. Put the poor guy out of his misery! His leadership skills are not up to the task.

It's so unusual, I don't know what to make of it. We're so used to seeing NZ playing with an almost instinctive freedom, and clearly they're not comfortable with themselves atm. Ironically the Boks are the ones that have for many years being accused of being a "dumb" team with lots of brawn but no gameplan or finesse. This crop clearly still have the muscle in spades, but they're learning how to play a very smart tactical game as well. Now just to be more clinical about converting opportunities into points.

Ball’s always in two hands looking for the next play, head’s always on the right side when tackling and he’s always committing 100% to everything he does, whether it’s punching through a hole to distribute a try-enabling pass or chasing one of his terrifying up-and-unders. He’s an absolutely incredible ambassador for the game of rugby.

No, we should go in for the kill. The ABs are weaker than they've ever been. It's time to tweak that knife. We must show no mercy and stop respecting them so damn much on the field.

@@lemonorangegrape999 For all our sakes, I hope we return the 57-0 favour this weekend, then. A bit of humiliation is just what proud rugby nations like SA and NZ need sometimes. In all seriousness, may we soon see the resurgence of the ABs.

The "For Gareth Mason" in the beginning hits home for me. Thanks for being such a great human being!!

You are spot on as always. I enjoy your work and believe you are the best in this business.

You know what, I don't think Jollyboy Sexpistol will ever retire and that Willie le Roux is in fact, Good at Ruby. Anyone disagree?

I would agree but then we'd both be wrong ;)

Your commentry is even more entertaining than the game. I'd watch your clips just for that. BUT, for a pint sized Welshman, you are probably the most astute analyst of the game I've ever come across. You should be a coach. (How do you like the colour black with silver trimming?)

Great video as always! Looking forward to Saturday

I love the content from Squide but holy f**k it was funny to watch this video THEN watch the 2nd Test. Can't wait to see the next video of him eating humble pie.

Excellent analysis, as always! I'm so happy that you're pointing out Beaudy's value. The way he stopped that 50-22 and pulled a Houdini from his own dead zone was just immense! Everybody else wants to see him dropped, but he's literally the only player in that backline trying to create something. As a Springbok fan I don't feel comfortable with the "favourites"tag and I feel one would be foolish to underestimate the All Blacks, BUT the Boks have a chance to demolish the All Blacks this weekend. If they bring the same work rate, accuracy and aggression it might turn out ugly for the ABs.

Yup, the Abs and Safas have a lot in common with being intolerant/fickle when it comes to sub-par performances. Don't know how you could say BB is sub-par in any way though.

Don’t be fooled about the loud noise coming from beaudens detractors, it’s mostly coming from crusader fans who want their favourite player Ritchie Mounga to be starting ahead of Barrett. It is a small minority of NZ rugby fans that want Barrett dropped, they’re just extremely loud and vocal about it. Beauden Barrett is world class and the true experts know how much value he brings to the team.

@@Karpetburnz Frankly, at this point, NZ would be better off dispensing with Rieko Ioane at 13, shift Havili out there, and run Mounga at 12. Rieko is a great player but makes terrible reads at center, and the All Blacks could desperately use another proper playmaker on the pitch with Barrett (as Squidge aptly demonstrated in this video).

Talking of coaches...the day I see Rassie or Jacque in a suit on the field, I'm going to die of laughter ✌🇿🇦

Genius analysis, yet again. What a one man show. Give this man a professional soundproof studio so I don't have to listen to his bellowing roommate in the background. Love you squidgy

Couldn't wait for the upload, dankie Squidgey🤘🏻

I love the fact that you dedicated this to Gareth Mason. You are a legend bud and may Gareth's soul rest in peace.

Who else liked this video even before watching, thanks for uploading Squidge

Masterful analysis once more. Thanks for making the beautiful game more accessible at a deeper level to fans like me. Respect!

I've been waiting for this since Saturday

I'm a big Le Roux supporter and we seriously need his ability to open up space, you could see after Pollard passes the next receiver isn't sure on how to unlock the defence and create tries.

Yeah, De Allende is a void on attack. So many bad decisions, reckon he cost the time at least 2 tries tbh, which really sucks, as been a big fan of his. He just doesnt seem the same from 2019.

I did keep an eye on Am after your video on him. I guess I hadn’t payed much attention to him, but shit he showed so real class in test 1. And siya has got a work right like no other, ardie is similar in effort but siya had a better game

They were only a little bit good at stopping some of our mauls. Other than that. They struggled with everything else the boks threw at them

It was the pass behind from the ABs that I didn't understand. It seemed to be a new plan sketched out on the Mac but not properly coached on the field. Got them constantly into trouble.

With their tight 5 always on the receiving end of a bullying, the pass behind is the only way a team can create the illusion that they are on the front foot and moving forward. And New Zealand's tight 5 has been on the receiving end of a bullying from almost everyone they have played in the last year or so.

@@Karma-qt4ji I heard the repeated use of the word bullying in The Breakdown from Mills as well. "Bullies need to be bullied. South Africans are bullies." Do you guys actually know the definition of the word?Look it up. That is so insulting to refer to your opponents in that way when you simply got beaten by a better team. And in that context make NZ in fact the victims. What bs! You got outmuscled not bullied. It is so unsporting to use that term.

@@lzb1363 Just in case you are unaware, "bully" is a fairly common idiom in sports when referring to a team that was physically dominant compared to their opponents. It's not referring to the Boks' character in any negative way. It actually means exactly what you said, that they outmuscled the ABs and imposed their will on the game.
