Before they could even dream of lifting the trophy, South Africa found themselves faced with a very tough Wales team in perhaps the highest game of the tournament. So how did the Boks see it through, and what did an outmuscled Welsh team do to keep it so tight in the first place?

I was more stressed out when South Africa played against Wales then South Africa Vs England.
me too lol
I think the Japan match had me he most nervous
Told my brother if we get past the Welsh mental block, we would smash Eng. Those guys went a decade without beating us and I knew their media and own hype (with a lil Eddie Jones) will be their downfall
The Japan game had me shitting my pants in the first half but I became confidently calmer through the second half. I was definitely frustrated and on edge during the Wales game, it felt too close for too long. I was laughing and celebrating through most of the England game! It was an easy stress free thoroughly enjoyable game, my fave of the tournie!!
That’s because we got fucked
"If Faf want a moment to do his hair, they thump it" 🤣🤣🤣
💪💪💪💪
Let's be honest here. Anyone who called that game boring revealed how low their understanding of rugby was. It was such a tense match. I watched it in a bar full of Welshmen whilst i was just there in my lil bok jersey. After boks won the bartender gave me one on the house for having the balls to wear a bok jersey in his bar 😂😂
Lol. good for you, the welsh are fine not like the English :)
@@epartnersuk that's exactly what he said😂😂😂😂
It was a shit boring game, zero flare or invention, no flowing rugby and just pants. Stop trying to prove what a great rugby fan and how high brow you are. It was shit, end of.
@@andybud1983 You know NOTHING, John Snow.
@@andybud1983 you remember that time, yes that time when momma and poppa made it out in the bushes in 1983? yes that time ... yes boring it was as you came about..
You honestly brought this game to a completely different light. You’re analysis is honestly unparalleled. Brilliant stuff 👍🏻
As a South African: THANK YOU! Finally someone who understands that tight rugby is just as good as the open expansive game.
It annoyed me once when I had my bok friend tell me South Africans play a beautiful expansive rugby more than anyone. I think he forgot that RSA also fall back on calculated rugby too
The very fact that The Bokke dominated everything and the score was still so close is a testament to the skill of wales
South African here
Absolutely top class performance by Wales, our toughest challenge of the cup I’d say. You deserve all greatness that comes your way. Cheers 🍻
🇿🇦🇿🇦
jimbojims South Africa aswell butt, honestly think we can both agree that was the most intense game of the entire World Cup. Brilliant.
I WISH we could have played wales in the final, I really feel they deserved to be there
@@cvr2309 thanks mate hopefully we will meet again.
@@cvr2309 we really did but we lost 10 men we didn’t have a chance of playing there
As a wales fan who watched this in South Africa all I can say is congrats to the Boks and diolch Warren!!
Grace Dodwell your South African but support wales?
Boere Seun .Welsh visiting SA
Once again! Your analysis of these games just blow my mind! keep up the great work!
It feels like the way the tournament is designed along with the big two (NZ and SA) that forever for the rest of time the Cup will always rotate between them, with UK and Aus popping in every now and then for a cup of tea.
🤣🤣🤣🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦♥️

This is really funny. 😂😂😂
@@vuyophandle1903 Bhuda 2021 you still in these moments 😂😂😂😂
Your knowledge of rugby is out of this world. Its like watching the game through a microscope. How do you even do this? Take a bow.
I was on the edge off my seat in that Wales game far more than in any of the other games that the Bokke played. It really was one of the best games I've ever watched (and I have watched and played a lot of rugby in my life).
Great unbiased commentary. You have a new subscriber.
I've been a rugby fan for years, but I only now understand the game and appreciate it more because of these videos. Keep up the good work.
When you like the vid before you have even watched it because you know it’s going to be class!!
You have given me a new found appreciation of the tactics that go into professional rugby. Thank you.
I watch a lot of analysis vids. You are the best, without any doubt in my mind. Thanks, all the way from Souf Africa.
@Mike Biagio Yup...obviously I have two teams that I support! Springboks by birth, and Dragons by ancestry!
@@dafyddlloyd868 I've two teams I support too, Cymru and the US but I always end up with one. Maybe one day the US will have a good team.
@@leighfoulkes7297 Just by being on the park with the big teams, the US shows that they are good. The margins at that level are really small! Same goes for others, like Canada, Georgia, and so on. Everybody loves that these teams turn up, and throw everything into it...it what rugger is all about!
Now you're just giving us a bad rep man
I’m sitting in Angola at the moment: Got a few weeks of quarantine before I head offshore. Mate, what a superb breakdown with great commentary. Well done. Keep up the blood good work. Hopefully more folk start following your channel!
I'm Irish and I only really watched a few Irish games over the years before the world cup but when it came around I couldn't stop watching I didn't really understand what was going on during the games but the atmosphere of the games are amazing
It was the Northern Hemisphere Champs vs Southern Hemisphere Champs. It was always going to be a tough match.
Faf’s beautiful hair of course
Dude, that was a masterclass. Bravo!
It is masterclass. The scoreline did not reflect the Bok's dominance. Further, the second penalty to Wales that gave it 3 points was from a poor ref decision. The Welsh player ran into Vermeulen and was forcefully pushed away. What was Vermeulen supposed to do? Hug and kill him? Silly penalty! Then at the end Pollard chose to end the game by kicking out instead of taking a fairly easy kick for 3 points. Hats off to Wales for a gutsy effort, but the game was less close than the scoreline indicates.
@@robertporter4501 And the referee helped the Boks loads of terrible decisions against Wales.
The differnece is Rassie has only been with the squad for 18 months. He didn't have that much time for change but rather improvement
Brilliant analysis. This was a very hard game for both teams and you have clearly highlighted that. It was a pleasure to watch as a neutral but im sure fans of both teams must have been on the edge all through.
Fantastic analysis Squidge. Wales came so close!
Dude, you are becoming very quickly the Legend of this Rugby World Cup 2019_ King of Open source Sports_Commentary • Hope your vids monitise like Crazy, you so deserve bru. Bokkkkkeeee!
Best tactical analysis I have seen in many a long year! I have actually gone back and re watched the game thanks to this and enjoyed more than the first time round. You, sir, should be on a TV panel.
As a wales fan who was massively hungover watching this, I genuinely thought I was going to die trying to watch it
We should've got 2 penalties but no we got robbed
@@rahathrahman2464 whilst watching it I remember that I thought Wales were partly cheated out of the game, South Africa deserved to win the tournament more than anyone else. Especially as 18 months prior they were in a dreadful state and 6 months before that they lost 57-0 to NZL
This analysis is very interesting, this guy really knows his stuff. There is a series currently playing in SA that reveals behind the scene events in the Boks playing room. This analysis is very accurate including the choice of Flo coming into the field for the possibility of a game changing moment. Well done to Squidge Rugby
*Wales fan grieving over here*
could've honestly gone either way - all the best to Wales, I'd love to see them win a WC next time round!
We feel your pain bud. Close game.
at least wales were much better than england in the end
@@RabbitholeIsrael sometimes teams play their finals at there semi finals
would you rather get to the final and lose to england or lose in the semis and let SA win the WC
Absolutely brilliant analysis! Amazing that you fit all that detail in 13 mins.
Loved watching this match and love cheering for Faf de Klerk. Love the attitude he plays with and would love the opportunity to see the a live rugby match
I did feel for Wales, with their injuries you could see they were just running on passion and desire but they still gave the Boks a run for their money. Gg 💪🏻
I think I pulled half my hair out during this game, initially thought we were lucky to win it, but after this review, what happened on the field makes more sense. Thank you
@@StephenWilliams-lx2hm lekker lag ek nou
What another lovely unbiased review. Well done!!!
Epic perspectives you're sharing!
What a treasure of rugby analysis.
Squidge Rugby is an awesome channel. Love your analysis.
This is the second video ive watched. Ive never really been a rugby fanatic bt your analasists of the matches makes me want to watch more of the game.
Once again, you have nailed another analysis. You are simply awesome.
I absolutely love your content man! Just brilliant!! Rock on!!
Not the only did the South African team thank God, but they thanked the rest of the Welsh team as well
Just saw the leave and I had to read. Yep maty, did not dissapoint, knew the salt would come out...
@@dietersmit6639 What salt? Just saying that Alun Wyn Jones is God right?
Smirre S , Not salt, this game doesn’t even have anything to do with NZ? The joke was AWJ = God...
Also, it’s spelt ‘silver fern’ not ‘leave’
Proper English Please? Otherwise refrain from surfing the internet.
Chris Wright
You forgot something. They also thanked the All Blacks for being the chokers, jokers.
'South Africa were more good at chess than Wales were at sumo'. Brilliant!
The real RWC final. Also, best analysis of a rugby match in space-time. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant analysis - Wales played superbly and made us Bok supporters sitting in SA bite our nails, I can tell you!
SA fans enjoyed how Wales weren't scared to spread it wide on occasion. Warren's done a splendid job with Wales.
If Wales had won this game I think they would've beaten England.
I don't watch rugby much but I've been binging this channel for the last few days . I think it's time for me to start watching
Watching the Springbok RWC documentary Chasing The Sun and Rassie says, talking to the team when preparing for the semi, 'Wales are not like other NH teams. They are tough f*&ers'. On point. Have always been mine and many other Saffas', favourite NH team. Much respect. This was a great match up. Could've gone either way.
Great analysis as always squidge
Awesome video bro. Great analysis on this game 👌🏻
This is some brilliant analysis!
Looking forward to "How did the All Blacks sneak past Wales" video :-) Warrenball and the Boks play a very similar game - expected this one to be very close
Loved this explanation, thank you.
Excellent analysis of the game - you are very knowledgeable- leant a lot
Excellent analysis, thank you.
Mr Squige
I like your analysis always - so good. Especially among the northern hemisphere chaps who usually try to down play SA and AUS a bit. Especially before that final. The embarrassed themselves with their emotional and biased heavy breathing commentary over ENG...disgusting - very un-rugby.
I will however say as a South African and a lifelong Wales fan (absolute favourite northern hemisphere (NH) team) your disclaimer at the start is valid. In my opinion as brilliant as your analysis is (as always). It does however weigh/favour Wales. Though not as bloviating as most NH pundits (because your brilliant) it does betray itself.
Especially when your consider the two main pivot points of the argument:
Wales = tired
Wales = Out thought the boks
I could say a lot on this however I would need my own YT channel for that and that would be unnecessary as we already have your great channel suffice to say.
1. If indeed SA never hid how they were going to play. Add to that the obvious 6/2 split. Why did the great (not ironic - actually mean that) Mr Gatland not see that coming and work a way around it.
2. Wales did create those over laps, true. As did everyone however they did not out think the boks because that defensive style does force the side creating overlaps to either pass forward or get intercepted which were the options that were quiet visible on my viewing of the game and your analysis.
I could go on however I will not because this is already the longest thing I have ever written online.
You lost me at they were tired - sloppy with a hint of bias.
Do love your channel though - I also never had any doubts SA would beat ENG in final - only worried about Wales, NZ and even JP because homeground pride and how well they were playing.
Thank you
Eish! Another brilliant analysis! Learning so much thanks!
Excellent analysis! Love your content!
Excellent analysis. It was a frustrating game to watch, but thoroughly absorbing.
Good analysis, at the time I was freaking out, was more stressful for me than the final...
Good review, I don't watch rugby much but an amazing review, watching the nation's, the all Blacks, South Africa, Wales, it's really an amazing feeling.
You my friend deserve to be followed. Great content
One of the best detailed analysis 👍👍👍
As a South African, this was the most nerve wrecking game of our campaign, we were worried at times.
On a more serious note though - that scrum that led to the Wales try should have been a penalty to the Boks anyway
I'm South African, and this was far tighter and more stressful than the final. Pity Wales didn't put in as good a show against the old enemy a week later.
I thought England were the old 3nemy but clearly it's just lonely at the top
They did, we just dropped the ball a week earlier and let England play with full confidence. You know who the best team in the world is....it isn’t South Africa.
@MGRIFF , you should be! Wales were outstanding- they could have won this World Cup. They were number 1 for a while, and I think Wales has won 5 out of the last 7 matches with South Africa (with the only SA wins coming at World Cups). In the semi-final, I thought that Wales won the strategic battle, but SA won the scraps. Could have gone either way.
@@jlm0175 , definitely Australia!
Murray Campbell lol yeah man totally.
Brilliant review! Gatland showed much more insight into disarming the Springbok strategy, than poor Eddy Jones. Gatland never underestimates an opponent; while Jones often does...
Like squidge says in one of his videos (I think the final) whilst Gatland (🏴) and Hansen (🇳🇿) both had tactics for disarming the boks, Eddie really put all his effort into dismantling the All Blacks
Great analysis. I thought this game was really exciting; in part because I had a vested interest in seeing the Boks win, but to your point, the intensity was off the charts from whistle to whistle.
Absolutely agree with your opening statements.
Great analysis!!!
Thank you. That was an awesome and very accurate video.
best game dissecting buddy loved it, my every thought from a proper voice well done.
You, sir, are an excellent rugby analyst. keep it up.
Chewed a packet of 20 and all my beer was all gone after the game.
Hendrik Breed 😂
Hendrik Breed I dropped a bottle of Jamesons and went through 20 as well bud...
Looking back at this world cup I’m wondering how they missus stille loves me...
@@jandreneethling5664, let me tell you about my tale of the world cup... After the NZ loss I thought it was over. In the Wallis game my mate threw the braai stand over out of frustration, a bottle of brandy and a case of beer has seen its ass and the braai stand had to be re-packed and we had to get more beer for the celebration afterwards.
I am a Bok supporter but I'm honestly heartbroken for Wales because they did deserve more than what they got.
Wish we could've played them in the final
Wales shouldn't have been there,. They should and would have lost to France.
@@clintonpharoah1169 nope, if they played france like they played us they would've smashed them
I always lol when "should and would" are used by some sports fans to try and argue why a team that lost should have won.
Great analysis, man!
awesome stuff AS USUAL MATE!!!!
really good at not being biased
Australian here. Great video mate. Very well articulated (that means expressed into words for the pommies)
When is 'Invictus 2' coming out?
MrShowtym some smelling salts and some crystals and maybe we can bring Madiba back for round 2
@Makchu Cook nope, just 'Invictus 2' 😊
@@@MrShowtym From a whitey, agreed, Invictus 2.
"But Oh noo, C.Kolbe will never manage as a Springbok, he's too small". They said. 😑
Excellent analysis !
Like you analysis well done mate!
Brilliant as usual.
You sir....are a treasure...
As a springbok fan, this was the final to me, a really competitive game complete with emotion, excitement, cussing and shouts of joy. We made Wallis played our game because if they made us played their game they would've had the won. Two really good teams and coaches and the best of them won it and the first game in a really long time that had me chewing my fingers off. What a game, and thank you Wallis for a great, spectacular fight. Can't wait for our next game...
Wales?
@4;40 that pass is so forward neither the sideline ref's nor the ref himself saw it ........
You need to have your own Rugby Channel, not just UA-cam, but more channels.
Great review. I thought Wales fought like tigers. great contest
Brilliant review!! Far from boring!!
You're a really great analyzer of the game. Would love to have your analysis on the Currie Cup and Super Rugby.
frickin' awesome game/you are awesome at editing/new subscriber
Gatland is a clever man
I would love to see you coach, great stuff!!!
Chess and Sumo wrestling is the BEST description of Rugby I have ever heard.
Good analysis, "Squidge"!
Great video.
Moment of the game for me was when AWJ decided to scrum on the SA line and Wales scored. Love the confidence!
Pity they knocked the ball on in that scrum, the try should not have been awarded.
I think this analysis is what we need from Big Media companies. This is unbiased, fair and balanced as opposed to pundits who let their emotions get ahead of facts.
I agree. Everyone went on about how boring the match was and the kicking game, but bloody hell this was a proper test match. The ENGvNZL match was beautiful and entertaining. But this was just pure class.
Before the final, a lot of people were whining about how boring the Boks would be blah blah. My response was that the two "exciting" teams in the competition, New Zealand and Japan, would be watching the game on TV....
Unparalleled level of analysis, this. SA fan BTW.
Everytime I watch your analysis I feel like an idiot. Played the game for 25 years and been a qualified coach for over 10.
Keep up the great work, butt!
I know veeeery little about rugby tactics and systems of play simply because I do not watch it on a regular even tho I have played it and is probably my favourite sport I'd participated in (also played cricket and soccer).
One thing you mentioned that I'd like to highlight. The freshness of the Springbock players. All the subs Rassie made were DELIBERATE. and the mission was simple. KEEP THE BOYS FIT.
That was it. This tournament was a SQUAD win.
🤙🏾🇿🇦🔥
Wales was clearly a stronger team than England and I was worried about this match. I also thought that both Wales and New Zealand would have beaten England in the final. New Zealand picked the wrong team against England and played like crap on the day. I watched the England New Zealand twice and thought the game was mediocre at best once the hype of the moment was gone. South Africa was always going to beat England In the final. The Wales SA game was an equal matchup.
