Pulling out all the tricks under the roof 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A chip over the defender, a regather under pressure and a Welsh attack that ends in the corner: Mike Phillips supplies the spark in World Rugby's most-watched new upload.

"Pulling out all the tricks under the roof 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿" revisits Wales against Japan at the 2007 World Cup. The scrum-half's invention starts the move rather than finishes it, with subsequent passes carrying the ball towards the try line. In the comments, one viewer makes a case for more chip kicks and grubbers in today's game; another wonders why this moment isn't a highlight-reel regular.

The governing body's channel posted fifteen uploads, giving its archive plenty of room. Cheslin Kolbe's footwork and Rupeni Caucaunibuca in full flight offered compact reminders of elusive runners, while the full 2023 final returned on its third anniversary. South Africa's victory over New Zealand made the Springboks the first men's side to lift the Webb Ellis Cup four times. A condensed England-Wales quarter-final from 2003 added Jonny Wilkinson's kicking to the selection.

The freshest momentum belongs to "Champagne rugby in Cardiff 😍", which has reached nearly 49,000 views and is currently attracting the most daily viewing. The full final replay and Caucaunibuca clip follow it among the channel's busiest uploads right now.

World Rugby added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is running well below its usual level. Nearby sports channels offer a mixed picture: Wimbledon and Chess.com are above their usual daily viewing, while the All Blacks channel is quieter than normal too. For World Rugby, this week's archive selections stretch from a scrum-half's little chip to an entire World Cup final.
