Comment 10 - of asking to put Squidge Rugby's video back. It was the best analysis of the RWC final I've seen and really inspires viewers.

Tim on Eggchasers has an excellent video breaking down just how shortsighted World Rugby is in taking down content like Squidge’s, which only help users understand and appreciate the game better, which contributes to growing the game. Which is why this otherwise unrelated thread has as many commenters demanding “Free Squidge” than commiserating with crossbar king Marques of Portugal, who by the way otherwise had an outstanding World Cup. (Hmm, I can’t remember, though I watched the match, whether he scored the penalty goal at the death to draw the USA Eagles and knock them out of the World Cup, giving Portugal the last berth…..I need to go back and check the match report. Squidge would know!)

Crossbar Challenge!! Can we please release Squidge's video now?

[luzukomjwara]

The Portuguese kicker was so unlucky 😢

[lucahuman]

Free my boy Squidge he ain't do nothing wrong

[zoutie-zoutie]

Why such a long replay of Fafs kick from inside their half... was it about the kick or how eben was lifted up...

[antonpotgieter]

When will we be allowed to see Squidge Rugby's analysis on the final?

[heyoted]

Can we also play a game where every time you copyright strike smaller creators you kill growth of our game?

[SuperPortabello]

Wow great original content! Going to send this to all my friends and boy how they will all enjoy it. The ball sometimes hitting the poles: now some might see that as a banal, statistical inevitability of trying to kick it though, but not us! Oh how we shall laugh and amuse at this video together! Thanks for the Stirling content once again. Absolutely nailed it World Rugby.

It's more difficult to hit the post than to hit it between the posts. Give them at least 1 point for that pinpoint accuracy 😅

7:39
18 Kicks in the Rugby World Cup hit post. Only the one that mattered most went over.
to deliver 3 Crucial points for SA.
To win the third knockout game by one point.
The rugby posts are made up of 3 posts(2 uprights + crossbar) and the difference between the total points scored by SA in the knockout games and the kickable points where the posts where hit is [(12+16+29) - 18x3] or 57 - 54 = 3!!!
The total of the points scored in those three knockout games add up to 111.
The SA team who prayed together after the final, serve a 3 in 1 God. And the success of Captain Siya Kolisi is something he directs to glory of that God.

Sounds like destiny to me.

Let Squidge rugby use clips of the RWC

[rippersa]

That is fascinating, but did you here about the Squidge Rugby video that you took down? He is promoting rugby, why copyright strike him? Chat with him and get him involved!

[timkaboya]

Free Squidge, @Rugby World Cup, do your part in helping the game grow. Its better for you. Stop stiffling content and views. You could have millions of viewers on this content if you let other content producers feed off yours. Thanks to your blocking everything. Even a WC final video cant get a million views.

Jeez if Ronaldo plays Rugby as Fly half Portugal would've made it through the Quarter or Semi final

[AnnaAdriannaStrydom]

Not so easy to kick the rugby ball through every team try to put it through the poles

[Bobbydyland]

World Rugby: Can't tell the difference between a Crossbar and an Upright. And killing fan videos promoting their product. You need to do better!
