- Scotland did everything but win in a classic dans Paris last weekend, Gregor Townsend's team getting on top yet falling short in an utter thriller. So, how did Scotland wrestle that momentum, what cost them, and what did France do to take them to the victory?

I love your positive outlook on rugby analysis! So much of the time you get people only talking about what a team has done wrong but your analysis of the brilliance of teams and individuals is a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely, and it makes it so much better to learn smth for your own game aswell
yeah, he's not catering to those that come into the discussion for the "would've could've should've". It's way more fun to analyse what teams did well during the games than those nonsense.
A bit late here but this is really the main reason why Squidge has made rugby so enjoyable to me. We really need more positive minded pundits. @Jeroz you really put the nail in the head
Thank you. You do not discuss referees decisions, and this is one of the many reasons why I encourage you as patreon. In a game like this one it is particularly remarkable.
Loved the fiber diet joke.
That clown of referee saying he wanted to issue that animal a yellow , that`s cool is it
"ball passed through his legs so fast you wonder if he had a particularly fibrous diet" ... had me chuckling!
Man, we all have to acknowledge here that your work at decrypting those matches and strategies is just brillant, and passioned. Thank you for all of your dedication and fun attitude in these videos
cannot wait for the England France debrief, Squidge. Cheers
« The fury of Fabien Galthié looking at the basic range of frames at the optician »😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 genius
Every time i watch one of these videos i realise how many split second decisions there are in high level sports. These athletes are truly incredible
14:06 it is a truly beautiful forward pass you've got to give it to him
Came searching for this comment
@@ollieham4616 well it is most likely forward, as a french person I would have at least liked it being reviewed by the TMO but it is what it is
Can't wait to see England / France review 🤣
Love how you mentioned that Russell actually is really consistent. despite what every English welsh and Irish pundit says
Disagree it's been for 5 years though, at the national team at least. TBF I think at least as much has been everyone else becoming more telepathic with Russell. There's a meeting of the minds.
Haha, every single Irish article I've trawled through these past two weeks has been dowsed in the phrase "Scotland's 'Mercurial' talent". I laughed so hard when Squidge called 'em (us) out. Still though - hoping he has an off day come Sunday.
he's been consistent since moving to Racing. Most pundits don't mention it however, because it doesn't fit their lazy narratives for Scotland.
Yes, Twickenham felt like a serious test of resolve. I would say they passed =)
Thank you for making these videos, really makes me appreciate the game more, makes me appreciate Scotland more! I understand you're busy, and regional games don't get as much attention but I'd love to see analysis on premiership games or top 14, as I think Russells performances in those games have been interesting too.
fantastic, wonderful work as always. thank you Squidgy!
Didn’t notice before but that first huw Jones try looked like a forward pass
yeah but it was so pretty and well done.
It's pretty flat indeed
It's a clear forward pass, but I, as a french fan, would not be honourable if I complained about it (we made mistakes too, that were not seen, c'est le jeu)
Yup
To me too, but when it's not massively forward I don't trust my eyes to judge that through a camera.
I feel like Finns eyes lit up after going 17 -0 down, like he knew he could get away with anything now. Cross field kick on my own goal line yeh sure, flick pass back out of contact yeh magic. Nearly worked as well. Let’s face it he is box office.
Love your take on analysis mate, especially things like the doubt good kicks in behind put into the D line and the ebb and flo of whole sections of the game. Keep on keeping on brother
While I doubt we get it - an Squidge rugby autopsy of England v France would be about the best thing about that game for an England rugby fan
As always, well analysed and done with humour. Great entertainment!
Brilliant and hilarious analysis
Amazing video as always mate
Excellent - as ever!
Thank you, as usual your work is amazing! BUT (even if Russel did a great match) that ventriloquist pass ( xD ) was forward.
fantastic as always Squidge!
Great Vid Squidge.
Will there be a team of the tournament style video after this tournament?
It'd be interesting to see your team
This is honestly the best video of yours I have watched so far
Magnifique mon ami. Míle thanks for the content, it is creme of the crop stuff
Another absolute belter of a game! There’s not much in life that isn’t improved by a Squidge video on your team.
Good Job Master Squidge !
Tu te débrouilles aussi très bien dans ton style.
@@jean-michel.a c est quoi mon style ?
Décidément, tu es partout.
@@MrPapalagui 🤣🤣
Legitimately fist pumped and said Yes! Because I had a new squidge video to watch before bed
I've never watched much rugby or even played it, but really starting to appreciate the intricacies of the game cause of this analysis. Even for a newbie its a really enjoyable watch. I might even begin to play rugby cause of it, though I wonder if I'm too old to start...
There are many older mens teams out there. Touch rugby tournaments are a great introduction.
Brilliant analysis again..
I love this commentary. I never understood the sophistication and subtlety of rugby and, if I'm honest I still don't, but your content helps me understand it 👍👍👍
I love your channel keep it up
Was a good game. Thank you to our Scottish friends for offering such a high level rugby!!! In my opinion, overall, you guys deserved the win for this one :)
Was a crazy game--50/50. We probably didn't deserve it because you can't go 0-19 down and get a red card after 5 mins and expect to win the game. But it was a fun one that's for sure!
Thanks Alex, the two most entertaining teams in world rugby. Will try our best to slow down the Irish this weekend and make it an exciting final weekend!
@@beno8983 ho yes please do ah ah. itwill make the tournament even more exiting!! and hopefully, we will see each other in the world cup. After France, I always support Scotland ! I cried when you lost against Australia in 2015.
@@MrPoepope true tho... but after these 5 minutes, our team should have never get their hands off the wheel... it was a superb show to watch!
@@SemperMagnus Oh no don't talk about it!!!! Please don't talk about it.... still haven't recovered from that.
I was not expecting this
Good stuff squidger
As an Ireland fan, really looking forward to the game on Sunday albeit with a certain degree of trepidation. I expect it to be an entertaining game, with both teams playing great stuff recently and of course there is a lot on the line too!
Ireland have the better team on paper but Scotland are extremely dangerous, especially at home.
I'm looking forward to some italy analysis. They've been playing so well.
Your bar stool comparison to Dupont - and the fact that it was a compliment - was a peach . . .
Hard agree on your *silent* praise of Turner, he's been a force for us so far.
I know this isn't something that usually gets talked about on this channel, but can we please acknowledge how the ref let anything go for the first 10 minutes of the game? It did look like a rugby League match more than an Union one
EDIT: since Squidge didn't mention it, huge props to Piardi for saving Amashukeli's career on the second red card. He really deserves to ref a 6 nations match
By the way, if what happens at 8:00 isn't a penalty, I don't know what is
Agree. I wish Wayne Barnes had listened as well to his assistants in Italy v France. When your assistant ref is walking away with a WTF look on his face, you should know you're screwing up.
@@beniaminorocchi Yup, that's one of the most blatant side entries you'll ever see. No idea why referees don't penalise players for it anymore
@@josephr7529 By the law, it is a ruck the second one player (of either teams) is over the player on the ground. Since the Scottish player is poaching the ball, that's most definitely a ruck. And jus tto make that clear, France is my favourite team
@@josephr7529 It was officially changed after that, now one player other than the tackler and the tackled player is enough to start a ruck (and the offside line and the gate through which entering the ruck)
It was a game that reminds me why Rugby is wonderful. It really did have it all and Scotland are becoming a wonderful team. It'd remarkable and this Scottish team may be the best for generations. We'll talk about these for years to come.
Incredible analysis, as alyways squidge. Really looking forward to Galthié revamping specsavers
Love your work. Did you cover the Scotland Wales game? Sure I saw a comment about a collaboration but can't find it now.
It was a great match as a rugby fan but hard to watch as a Scot. Game was there for the taking, that lost line out cost the game.
I hope the spectacle was more enjoyable on Saturday for our scottish friends 👀
6:32 I can spot The Mish and his glorious density anywhere
The Russell pass to Jones for Scot first try was indeed magic,,, but it was also fwd.
Great stuff
Hmmm.... It did seem like 14 vs 14 suited Scotland better than France. Having more space on the pitch negated France having the biggger, more muscular pack.
In addition, did France get their substitutions wrong? Or were they just unfortunate? They somehow ended up without Aldritt and Jelonch, when they only needed to lose Jelonch.
True. The coaching was messy. Jelonch should have been subbed after his HIA.
13:57 forward pass
14:05 - Viewed from overhead, unfortunately, that's a clear forward pass & that try should have been disallowed (magic hands or not).
Oh what a surprise!!!Cause everybody in France saw that at the moment.
I just watched it frame by frame. It does go forward. But it's less than a pace. That's always (almost) gonna be given the benefit of the doubt in an international game these days. I wouldn't think it's clear and obvious to anyone on the ground.
@@grantmcinnes1176 Sorry,I problably forget that sometimes referee decisions goes our side. But you have to understand that after this game I don't have nails anymore. Please don't shake us like that next year.😁
@@maximedinatale5056 One of the best games I've ever watched though! Both sides incredible to watch.
@@grantmcinnes1176 I thought it looked suspect at the time, but assumed that the TMO had had a look and decided not to suggest the ref review it.
It's a shame that they're pretty lax on this (I'm even annoyed when my team scores when I think it's a forward pass... rules are rules, or rather laws are laws, after all), as on other issues like knock-ons they're very on-it so it seems a bit inconsistent.
At 7:50 seconds Jelonch was in at the side at the ruck
Italy in the meantime: 😕
We NEED crunch review now! 🤙
i swear France are just the new all blacks ? just relying on moments of brilliance in chaotic moments.
I'll down with that
Lol not really bro the All Blacks records are to insane France haven’t been on top that long the All Blacks were on top year after year after year for years I love how you European teams are getting cocky and start disrespecting the All Blacks.. Trust me the All Blacks will get their number one spot back mark my words
Waiting for the Wales v Italy match now ... he's bound to cover that one?
I hope this means Squidge does a larger breakdown of Italy over the whole tournament or something
It was some game - despite it not going our way.
Still bitter that you skipped Scotland Wales, but now give us a glowing report of how we got beat in Paris.
Love watching Scotland hey.
I just love Finn Russel rugby.
That russell pass is deffo forward tho
four members of the referee team say you're wrong. i trust their judgement better than a bloke on the internet
@@stewartellinson8846 officials can get calls wrong
@@nwiley619 they're MUCH less likely to do so than some bloke on the internet. they've had training, know the laws and so on.
That amazing Russel pass to Jones, was 100% forward. So is it that amazing?
You have to do a video about the french win against England now!
I am eagerly waiting for the analysis of the crash rather than the crunch that happened today at Twickenham... 😎
Hi can you please do a video of the Scotland v Ireland game today please would be amazing ❤️
forward pass at 13:57??
Hit the vid faster than the first flying headbutt of the game
The reasons you’ve highlighted Russell are the reasons Smith needs to start this weekend. He had an absolute blinder at Big Game 14 because of his game management, and is the best kick passer in the Premiership. That’s the best tool to disable a blitz défense.
I completely agree. ( if jones was still boss, this was his target game...with Marcus at 10. Jones has developed Smith assuredly.. Jones sees that fire in Smith, we all can. Squidges' take on Frances' precision, especially the stellar transfer of dead ball to attacking the gainline in no time is good. I've watched Smith demand that at Quins. He would fight fire with fire)
Marcus smith is a shite Finn Russell tho
@@reddwarf3d728 Tell me this then, which one of them has won a domestic league title? That'll be Marcus Smith
@@williamjfrancefilm as ur auld head coach Eddie used to say “club rugby is completely different to international mayte”. So, tell me this then, what is Smiths record against Finn and Scotland? That will be 0-2 🤟🤟🤟
@@williamjfrancefilm hahaha I just remembered Finn won the pro 12! Typical English fan only watching the prem!
Great video, thanks. Here's something to think about if you are interested - James Ryan. 51 games for Ireland. 40 wins , 78% win ratio. 4 wins from 6 against NZ. 6 from 6 against Scotland. 2 from 2 against South Africa. And he's 26 years old. Presumably has an even higher win ratio for Leinster. Phenomenal career to date. And yet he's more or less ignored outside Ireland. Why?
Relax mate this is a video about Scotland France
I like these. I enjoy the explanations but could you do it in chronological order.
In addition to your superb analysis squidge, I do have one question.
How many wedgies would Galthien have got if he wore them glasses in a British secondary school?
Love your videos and lerned loads from them, but
please
please
change the world cup animation
Is it me was Russell to jones forward from above?
Very flat at a minimum... but you see the benefit of the doubt going to most teams for passes like that I guess
6:32 *Watson
6.35 is Watson, not Ritchie
No videos about Italy this season? 😥😥
It was a great match - rugby is such a fun game to watch when you have teams that want to attack. Scotland supporter so I really do hope they can trouble Ireland at Murrayfield.
J'espère aussi... I hope so...😁
6:31 it was the great hamish watson
I was gonna say lol. Even though they're both wearing head bands, it's not that hard to tell them apart
Ngl, i think François Cros won that ruck because he was doing it illegally, he tackled Hogg and then didn't clearly show any release before attempting to counter ruck.
Still confused why there wasn't a video on scotland Wales
No mention of the red card that brought Scotland back into the game?
The main reason this fame was close was the fact a sub prop had to play most of the game.
Why overlook the obvious reasons for the games result.
Exactly, it's why Scotland kept scrumming penalties instead of kicking to touch
That one try was forward pass
Guys I think we have to do something about France and Gareth Edwards
You may need to wait a bit longer then....like 5 years :-)
did you mean Shaun Edwards? In which case you are going to have to wait a few years.
Surely the Finn , jones ventriloquism is forward
Match of the Tournament, so far, but maybe Scotland can put a thorn in the Irish's side, and maybe we can trample the English at Twickenham (Yeah, FRA, SCO, and whoever plays are my favourites team).
U did
Around 4.15 is pure rugby magic
And the fury of Fabienne Gautier 😂 you have the best phrases squidgy
Ramos flapping around that ruck instead of doing his job reminded me of an incident that caused Brian Moore to loose his shit at Ian Balshaw: ua-cam.com/video/wobyaO_TU5o/v-deo.html
I have no Pity for Scotland. I have hope. I have the hope that next year the Scots will hammer the opposition. They will rise again, more powerful than France can ever imagine
When we Scots get it occasionally right nobody can stop us, expect ourselves. I belive we'll beat Ireland in our next game, unfortunate to lose this game.
@@faddy24 if we are to truly accept this team as Scottish thru and thru they'll beat Ireland and lose to Italy
France as it turned out where not test by England.
Really hope the Ireland management see Scotland as the big threat that a lot of us fans see them as. England are still rebuilding and learning new systems and look like a team who Ireland -- given where they are in their preparation and form -- should beat at home. Scotland look like a big threat and one with a huge motivation to perform against us; beat Ireland and Scotland get the triple crown for the first time in years.
England are always building they blamed the French 🇫🇷 massacre on the weather perhaps divine intervention wet and windy cause England to succumb at Twickenham guess the French team had sunny ☀️ rays on their backs!
still gutted we didnt win
Please, please, please can the next Lions team be built around FR? Oh... and not coached by Gatland.
Im french and i think France/Ireland hybride Lions would be sick
Interesting that you didn't discuss Haouas' red card or Fraser Brown's bad line out throw... 2 huge moments that changed the momentum of the game, especially the former
Each 6 nations team has gotten to videos but italy, who have had none so I'm expecting an amazing solo video for Italy
I definitely prefer the 15-20 min videos. Thirty is just too long ( especially with all the pause and rewind to read the captions).
Epic games like Ireland France could easily make 2 shorter pieces
There is no such thing as a "too long" squide video
@@chaz.92 You wouldn't prefer 2 20 min videos to 1 30 min?
Was at the game 🏴 Frussel had Stad France hushed up till the end . He is the messiah
Tell that to Thomas Ramos and his interception
I don't understand all you said, I'm French, but I can say you're a kind of Mozart's Rugby UA-camr, too much !
He is, I can’t understand any full speed French and Sqidge is hyper speed.
@@robinstevenson1098 and I use english subtitle ...
@@jean-baptistepottier6362 moi aussi😅
Ok squidge is trolling his Italian fans, now is confirmed
He said he is planning a deep dive on Italy after the end of the 6N. Ora testa al Galles!
Apparently he's gonna do a complete italy analysis after the six nations.
But yeah tough week for him. Wales and england are the 2 most interesting because they change a lot. This game here was the best game of the weekend, where scotland actually played better than france. But also italy gave ireland a hell of a fight, in a game they actually were in range to win... Tough choice. But i guess he skipped italy because he's gonna show em a lot of love later on
If you guys start to win games I’m sure he will analyse them. Until then it doesn’t make much sense if you can only review 2/3 of the games each week.
He is Welsh so is naturally going to favour analysing their matches as well (as you could argue that Italy v Ireland was more review worthy than Wales v England).
Ireland vs Scotland should be a live wire, despite how dangerous Scotland have become, they do make a lot of errors and I can't help but feel they have been overperforming. I felt Scotland were better against France, but there were too many lapses and France took their opportunities. I think Ireland will be even more clinical, more disciplined and kick better than France, it will take a lot more from Scotland to beat Ireland. Still I am really looking forward to this game as both teams are believing in themselves and playing fearless rugby!
I get what you are saying but I don't think I'd say they have overperformed. If anything, if they cut out a few more of the silly mistakes they made against France then they could have won that game and it would also give them a fighting chance at home against Ireland. I'd still be surprised if Ireland lost though as they just look unstoppable when at their best.
