00:52 - the referee had just given the england captain a talking to and told him to speak to his players, which is did, but then allowed Wales to take a quick penalty which the chat was taking place. - Referees are generally fantastic in rugby union and a huge part of the game, But this what not a good moment for the referee, especially given they had the option of video review.
@@Brownie-ms6sv There is no "that kind of situation" cos it should never happen... If I ref tells a captain to talk to his team, time goes off and play should not start until the Defending team are ready as they are the ones who have been told to have a talk. If you look at the actual game - the time wasn't even put back on after the penalty was tapped as the tech team were so surprised that the ref allowed this to happen
Somewhere on UA-cam someone reviewed this try from all angles. Zoomed out, England players had already started to disperse to the opposite touch time from where the try was scored. I agree in this particular game the ref wasn't great (the other try Wales scored for example).
@@michaeldavies5840 Squidge Rugby covered it in his review of that game. What the additional angles also show you is that the left side of Englands defence where May and Slade were standing, were set and ready for that kind of play.
There should be special rules in barbarians games. That ball under the jumper play was pure entertainment and that's what the barbarians are all about... Entertainment.
Conor Murray's try in Munster v Toulon was the simplest, but also one of the most intelligent tries in the video. He spotted a knock on. In seconds he calculated the ruck was over, the ball was in play and he would not be offside going to the Toulon side to pick and score.
Damn! There are people with skill n creativity then there is you with both+ research. Truly liked it esp at the first 30 seconds when Kenya pulled that smart move. Worth watching all the rest. We await for more. Rugby players are smart..🔥💯

You can't do it _with the intent_ of making an "offside trap". But if somebody else (the 8 in this case) picks the ball at the same time, then it's all kosher.

@@cariad561 10 seconds? Count 1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant and so on and you will realise how long 10 seconds is even if you are exaggerating a bit.
Dude, how come no All Blacks stuff? The between-the-legs pass: Look at Carlos Spencer’s from 2003 World Cup. The Lineout throw to a charging forward: Tony Woodcock in the 2011 WC final. Solo chip-n-chase: Dan Carter, 2005 series against the Lions.
because everyone plays smart and goes for the meters or the 5 metre lineout for the maul over the line makes life easier especially at 60mins and everyone is blowing out their ass
With professional opponents, refs, TMOs, and video analysts, "trick" plays seldom work any more. You still sometimes see trick lineouts at pro level, and the rate of return seems pretty terrible. There still no end of set plays, but they tend to start at scrum or lineout, where you can dictate/predict the opposition's starting shape.
2nd one with the fake by the 9 for the 8 to pick and go is illegal and has been for years. The Wales v England quick kick was down to a poor ref. If you tell the captain to speak to the team, you need to allow them to set before blowing the whistle. Even Nigel Owens said it was poor
In my opinion he jumped the tackle. I know there is no explicit law in the game that prohibits that. But it was always the case, as far back as when I played over 50 years ago, that jumping a tackle was considered dangerous play and resulted in a penalty for the defending team.
Yeah I want to know as well, I think him may have touched the ball with his foot when lining it up, but it make no sense. Would like to know the real reason
O'Connor in lining up his kick made what seemed to be a movement towards the ball. Stringer figured that this constitued the start of his run up. So he charged forward and as the ball was now "in play" he could contest for it. Poite agreed and the decision stood.
Practice passing both ways from ruck. I set up targets and try and hit them. Remember to Practice passing both ways and Practice box kicking from the base of a ruck as well
Place your foot in the direction you are going to pass before you pick up the ball and watch Aaron Smith videos till you're sick of them. Fastest pass around, but he is usually behind a rolls royce pack in the all blacks. Highlanders might be more relatable
@@inexplicable999 I know. If it was a case of the England team not setting quickly, that’s on them, but the ref had told Farrell to get the team in and have a word about repeated infringements. He can hardly tell a captain to get their team together, then allow play to resume almost instantly.
@@inexplicable999 unfortunately he had a bit of a brian fart at the time. He had the decency to acknowledge his mistake after the game in his official report though, so fair play to him for that.
0.55 secs was subsequently accepted as poor sportsmanship. The Referee apologised and admitted he was wrong. Most of the Welsh Team were embarrassed. Rugby was the big Looser.
Ok I loved this until you put the Wales vs England one because that was just darn right out of order. The referee told Owen Farrel to have a chat with his team then within about 10 seconds (they are aloud to take longer than this if a referee has asked for the captain to have a word) Dan Biggar asks if he resume play and some crazy thing In this referees mind said he could take it. Rant over 😂
It definitely was, watch squidge rugby it shows the other angle, England had 9 seconds to set a line when in International rugby you're trained to set in less than 5
You know farrel did the exact same thing for sarries in a heineken cup game a few years ago, right? Funnily enough, he didn't complain about that one, he had a little grin on his face!
@@mutsnuts1989 it's not the referee's job to make sides look dumb after he has already given the captain instructions to talk to his players. He has done this before
Get rid of the tactical replacement law and we could have this nearly every game. All that law has done is brought bigger, heavier slugs (50 minutes of fast Rugby and they're buggered) into the game. Brains and muscle are mutually exclusive (most of the time). All shapes and sizes means nippy, aggressive compressed lightning bolts can return to play at the highest levels. ps: Medical replacement is possible with some protocols. e.g. Diagnosis by match day doctor concerning recovery time is an effective ban, etc. Teams won't risk iffy players.
I think there was a letter sent to the World Rugby, by eminent doctors and ex-rugby players on that very point, arguing that tactical replacements will result in the death of a player, because of the way they are being used to bring on fresh battering rams defended by semi-exhausted opposition.

Terrible defending. We were always taught never to turn our back on the opposition as children, ever, no matter what.

Biggar must have looked at that and though what a bunch of idiots - I can tell you that was what was running through my mind - and it didn't surprise me in the least he decided to ASK the referee when time would be back on. When the referee obliged, only two Englishplayers had sussed what was happening, the rest were still in the huddle digesting the thoughts of Farrell. Must have been a great speech.
Are you daft? The ref specifically told Farrel to bring the team in and have a chat about repeated infringements then when they came in to chat he had a brain fade and told the welsh to play when the entire english forward pack was still in a huddle. You can't do that as a referee. He even said he fucked up big time as did the irb itself and literally every other pro ref on the planet. How the fuck are you supposed to defend when the ref has blown time off and called you to come over and have a chat then allowed play to resume the moment you're out of position? I hate the english just as much as the next guy but that's a shocking take chalking it up to bad defence...
still a high IQ play by the Welsh though. A piss poor play by the ref. Though not as bad as the one O'Gara scored against South Africa in similar fashion, at least England had had their chat and then the ref didn't give them time to line up after, with the Ireland-South Africa one the South African captain was still in the middle of talking to the players when the ref called time on.
Agreed. More a case of low IQ from the referee, Pascal Gauzere. One of the worst displays from a 6 Nations referee that I can recall. He did at least have the decency to apologise in the days after this match for this incident and the Rees-Zammit "try" that should have been disallowed for a clear knock-on.
Chip and run is a common play in rugby. Not exactly 200 IQ lol. Good play when it comes off don't get me wrong but you will see that in nearly every single game of rugby you watch
I think it was a case of Stringer knowing the laws. The kicker was taking an excessive time to take his kick, so Stringer treated the ball as in play and ran up to take it. Can't remember the outcome, though.
Would be cool to see a world club championship. So that we could see the likes of the super rugby clubs play the French , uk clubs etc . I think international test rugby has to many matches . Making them a little less special. Fifa have got it kinda sorted with football . International teams don't play all that often and club teams play alot . International teams are more exclusive. Having a big club tournament for rugby would give alot more opportunities to alot more players and countries than test rugby does.

How the fuck are you supposed to defend when the ref has blown time off and called you to come over and have a chat then allowed play to resume the moment you're out of position? I hate the english just as much as the next guy but that's a shocking take chalking it up to bad defence...

Embarrassing

england france 1981, the second try.
I clicked on this to watch great rugby and got a music video.
What did you get when you turned the sound down?
Simplement Rugby 🏉 🏉 🏉
Great vid but the jonny may try. He jumped over the tackle so it should not have been a try.
Yo yo yo
Good video despite the CLICKBAIT thumbnail but wtf were those dropkick doing in there bro?
Rude
That wales vs England one wasn’t clever it was shit referring as the ref himself said he made a mistake after the match!
Nigel Owens also said the ref messed up
It's clever to have a go, in New Zealand we say, " play to the whistle"
@@joedennehy386 No other country has ever used that axiom.
@@alexfrench6359 That was the next try !!! LRZ backwards knock-on sort of let's give it anyway because its against England try. Hurrah.
The wales one shouldn't of counted because the ref told england to get in a group huddle then said that wales could play on
still a high IQ play by the Welsh though. A piss poor play by the ref. Though not as bad as the one O'Gara scored against South Africa in similar fashion, at least England had had their chat and then the ref didn't give them time to line up after, with the Ireland-South Africa one the South African captain was still in the middle of talking to the players when the ref called time on.
Nice but most of them are illegal
3:35
Rugby is a sport
The wales try isn’t high IQ the ref told England to have a talk and them blew the whistle before they finished.
Agreed. More a case of low IQ from the referee, Pascal Gauzere. One of the worst displays from a 6 Nations referee that I can recall. He did at least have the decency to apologise in the days after this match for this incident and the Rees-Zammit "try" that should have been disallowed for a clear knock-on.
@@steveberry1366 salllttyyyy
the first one is a forward pass
Chip and run is a common play in rugby. Not exactly 200 IQ lol. Good play when it comes off don't get me wrong but you will see that in nearly every single game of rugby you watch
Can someone with more rugby knowledge explain 4:11 to me? Thanks
I think it was a case of Stringer knowing the laws. The kicker was taking an excessive time to take his kick, so Stringer treated the ball as in play and ran up to take it. Can't remember the outcome, though.
Thumbnail is just a tad offside
Would be cool to see a world club championship. So that we could see the likes of the super rugby clubs play the French , uk clubs etc . I think international test rugby has to many matches . Making them a little less special. Fifa have got it kinda sorted with football . International teams don't play all that often and club teams play alot . International teams are more exclusive. Having a big club tournament for rugby would give alot more opportunities to alot more players and countries than test rugby does.
How is the thumbnail 200iq he would of been offside
Johnny May was out!!!
The thumbnails is offside
Yo yo yo lo lo lo
1 image sur 2 c’est du rugby français
What's with the James O'Connor kick I don't get it.
I think because he had moved it was considered that he had started his motion to go kick which meant the defenders could charge
That wales one was cheating against England the ref told Owen Farrell to go and talk to all the England guys and then the ref let them take it quickliy
I liked this video because we can see lot of French team and THE FRENSH TEAM
The french flair
👍
That Welsh england one was bs the ref asked owen to have a word with their team then he allows Wales to play quickly
Exactly what happened between The Boks and Ireland in 2004.
Some of these were not by the rules
