  • Dismissed. Ignored. Just there to make up the numbers. Uruguay arrived at the 2019 Rugby World Cup as the smallest union in the competition, expected to roll over and ship points aplenty in their every game. Instead, Uruguay pulled off the second-biggest upset in Rugby World Cup history, and pushed semi-finalists Wales all the way. So how did los Teros plot their superb campaign to upset the odds and shock the world?

    • @just-dl
      @just-dl 2 роки тому

      i've lost track of Pat Lam. I thought he was hard done by in a previous coaching stint (Auckland) and I specifically remember John Kirwin making comments that at the time I thought were specifically unfair (as well as unkind) about Lam. (I know Kirwin is popular, but, I lost all respect for him at that point.) I started watching rugby in 2011, so I was by no means an expert, but, I remember wanting Lam to do well enough to erase that memory! So, i'm glad to hear you use the phrase "meteoric rise" and his name in the same sentence. I just looked up his record...his last two years at Auckland he had a better record than Kirwin did the next two years.

    Another incredible video again.
    I'd love it if you did a video on fixing super rugby and Australian rugby. Personally with super rugby, the following changes would be best.
    - have just AUS, NZ and potentially oceana countries. That way travel is reduced and you don't have to be up at 3:30am.
    - allow open market player transfers, similar to the NRL and NFL without losing prospects of representing your country. This is more exciting and encourages competition.
    - introduce two more NZ teams and potentially the western force back (but if bias there but I think twiggy would help out). This makes it more competitive between clubs with NZ less powerful and, over a couple years, attaches a local identity. I'm think a central districts team and another south island side.
    I'd love to have your thoughts

The 2009 'Living with the Pride' documentary keeps coming up in my recommendations and it's become somewhat prescient. For example, the fitness coach used by Uruguay is in it, you see some very revealing footage of Andy Powell, and even more revealing of Gatland and Edwards if you're not that way inclined. There's a lot of bitching and moaning about the Lions tours amongst the English and Scottish fans but I'd like to know your opinions and who you expect to see in the squad next year.
