The Squidge Rugby World Cup Retrospective
BONUS: The Romain Ntamack Blind Pass Retrospective
•
In our most on-topic episode yet, we spend 43 minutes discussing one 20-second-long clip from France vs New Zealand, 2021. Romain Ntamack pulled off a pass so sublime, it limited our chat about Vicky McClure. We also play a fun game of What Would Yionel Do? (WWYD) - It was a lot of fun.
More content like this will be available soon on the Squidge Rugby Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/SquidgeRugby - We hope to see you there!
Thanks to Tom Rosenthal for our swanky 1987 theme music!
