We have another big deep dive video coming today, and I somehow managed to cram another big chunk of World Cinema into it. I must be stopped before this channel becomes Squidge Aki Kaurismaki.

A Dr Who / Rugby hybrid !! A delight to watch. The lads must have enjoyed it. Brilliant. “Andrew Porter had a quiet game ..”

Union Bordeaux-Begles are the back-to-back Champions of Europe (And South Africa). A dominant, comprehensive performance smashed Leinster to a fifth final defeat. We go deep into how Bordeaux dominated the game, what Leinster got wrong, and just how good is this UBB team?! youtu.be/vDiqVP2JNyY

I'm so tired. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Our in-depth review of the 2026 Champions' Cup Final is recorded, edited, and will be with you midday tomorrow.

It is very funny that the baldest man I have ever seen has been binned for pulling someone's hair

If I was Nienaber, I would be really regretting not putting Prendergast on the bench right now.

Bloody hell.

"Lloyd Williams the scrum-half on the wingggg...." The highlight of a great career as Lloyd retires, an iconic moment in the history of Welsh rugby.

His left boot needs to be donated to the national museum

Wales have now finished six consecutive combined men's and women's Six Nations tournaments as the lowest-placed team. We dig into how Italy tore them apart, where Wales go next, and why Sean Lynn is still the right man for the job... youtu.be/MXRH91fB7Pw

Brilliant, just loved this. I like to know things I didn’t know.

OMG this is brilliant! Jacques Tati (M. Hulot!) as an eccentric French 2nd row who got his start pantomiming games for the crowd after the actual game he played in! Brilliant!

Do you wanna go mate

We must keep how utterly unhinged the official Ospreys Rugby account is on here a secret or else risk it going away forever

This video is vastly underperforming our usual standards in most metrics, but it's also the only video we've ever made that's led to a mass influx of people following me on Letterboxd, so in a way it's the most successful we've ever made.

The best rugby YouTuber has made the best rugby video. Genius.

OMG Featuring Alfred Sauvy and Monsieur Hulot.

Only just clocked the excellent attribution IrelandAM used for me during my appearance on Monday. 10/10. No notes.

Moi à 3'21 (and congrats @squidgerugby.bsky.social for being as good on rugby history as in your rugby analysis)

Watch this. Just watch it

I mean it as the highest of compliments when I say that this is some @jonbois.bsky.social bullshit. Phenomenal stuff from Squidge

Chapeau 🎩

T'es là, tranquille, à piailler sur le fait qu'il existe un fucking documentaire Netflix sur « la » grève dans un bus à Knysna, quand soudain, ceci. L'histoire du sport français ne cessera jamais de nous faire halluciner.

This is genuinely brilliant!

CECI

On New Years 1990, the world was introduced to Mr Bean, now maybe the most famous comedy character of all time. Yet, this story started years earlier, on the home pitch of Racing 92. This is the crazy story of how French rugby's eternal underachievers created a comedy dynasty- youtu.be/m6683DwTjnM

Tonight, a video I've been wanting to make for ages, on a rugby story that remains far too under-told. Here's your hint:

The Red Rose machine roles along: Another sixty points were lodged against Italy, yet another five tries conceded. We explore how they got the job done, and whether there's any issues under the hood brewing... youtu.be/2lcqUv2SoZM

Example 9,873 of how crazy #ProD2 is... Aurillac centre Hugo 'Sexy' Bastard scored against Grenoble on Friday without his shirt off (The assist from Lucas Oudard is tidy too) #ProD2MonAmour

Come watch us react in real time to Angus O'Brien not making the Wales squad, then attempt to break down the big inclusions & exclusions and what this says about Steve Tandy's approach through the shock and tears- youtu.be/HcDy5IitZCY

Steve where tf is Angus O'Brien. Explain yourself.

I like this guy.

Biggest team in the world win the most prestigious trophy in the world

We all know this is the year of the prop. But what would the XV look like if front row forwards achieved the world domination we all know they're capable of? We decided to try and lay out the strongest possible all-prop starting XV... youtu.be/3kZFdRfCP54

Boy the response to this over on the other place has been normal

RugbyPass' piece is an article I'm not sure we needed, but also not sure anyone can argue: Ex-pros have an enormous advantage when talking about the game. It's a point I've made many times myself, and also why we have make a point of working harder than anyone else, to produce stuff worth watching.

Apologies everyone, EPCR have had this video taken down. I'll reupload it for Patreons shortly, apologies to anyone who wanted to and didn't get a chance to watch it.

Union Bordeaux-Begles earnt the right to defend their European title in Bilbao after closing out a thriller against Bath. Despite not being former professional players, we sat down to dissect the game, how Bordeaux won it, and what Bath will learn from here... youtu.be/fHD4qipOu_Y

More from Beaudou: "It's impossible to hide footage" Another example of people within rugby needing to learn what the processes are before commenting on them, just read up. #ChampionsCup

Big up Henry Arundell for refusing to be outdone in a shittest performance of the day competition by some lads who retired years ago

Genuinely conversation for whether this is the worst performance by a co-commentary team in rugby history

I'm sorry Miles but

They have, genuinely, ruined a fantastic game of rugby. Broadcasters pay millions for these rights, and then are happy to let these fucking wasters actively make the product worse for no appreciable benefit? It’s absolutely unfathomable, purely from an economic perspective.

Commentary on this game is basically Miles Harrison getting really excited about how great the game is then Goode & Dallagilo replying by tediously complaining about innocuous refereeing decisions and it pretty neatly sums up what rugby discourse and discussion has become over the last few years.

If they gave me the option between listening to the game with Andy Goode or having a man use a cheese grater on my ears for the full 80 minutes I'd ask what's the difference

Thomas du Toit should be the highest paid player in the world

This is everything I hoped so far. Nothing quite like the later rounds of Big Europe.

Dai Richards was working for the Dragons marketing department eighteen months ago. One injury crisis and some good performances later, he's playing in a European semi-final. Sometimes great stuff still happens.
