3 Words after watching this: RUGBY IS AWESOME!! Seriously, this was beyond our expectations and our FIRST TIME watching Rugby Gameplay! We hope you have fun watching with us. Please be respectful in the comments and drop us a Like. Thanks everyone!!
Just a thought, look at rugby now introduce a forward pass, and given time you will end up with American football. ?
being from a League Town, i say league is Best, but i am biased LOL.. there are a few full matches on YT, league and Union i used to play school boy rubgy an i was a tank, i wasnt the fastest but strong,
The Rugby World Cup (world championship) is coming to the US for men and women. Happy days!
I don't like rugby. But I enjoyed your reaction. Yes of course you should react to football, cricket, and afl. American sports are popular in Britain mostly because they are so different. Popularity wise it's nfl, nba, mlb, nhl. I am a big fan of American sports, just not basketball.
Rugby again ladies, I love it.
The number 11 was the late Jonah Lomu, the GOAT.
Absolutely.
Lomu was a God
his play is more amazing when you consider he wasn't well during most of his career
@@stevenbowers4164 He definately was one of my heroes. The fact that every other team around the World respected and loved him said it all.
As an Englishman I can't disagree, 300lbs juggernaut running 100m in 10sec is terrifying
A rugby "try" is when you ground the ball over your opponent's line, and it's called that because doing so gave you the chance to TRY a kick at goal. For this reason, a try wasn't worth any points originally, and you only scored points if the subsequent kick at goal was successful. The kick at goal is called a "conversion", because it was how you CONVERTED your try into points. Nowadays, a Rugby Union try is worth 5 points, with or without the conversion, and you get an extra 2 points if the conversion is successful.
Great history lesson, thank you.
It's good to learn something new each day.
I knew the origin, but it was an excellent, succinct, explanation
.
6:10 and also 11:16 That, ladies, is the late great Jonah Lomu. He is the Tom Brady of Rugby, if Tom Brady's superpower was running through/over people, stepping them (you would call it juking) and plain having higher acceleration and top speed. Taken too soon through illness, this man is in Rugby heaven. Watch some Jonah Lomu videos (he was a walking highlight reel), you will enjoy them.
Never met anyone from any country who did not say the same thing. Top post fella.
I was just about to comment something similar but you saved me the job. Top work, sir!
Like the best of the best (at anything), he had the ability to make things look so effortless and easy. The guy could glide across the grass then hit turbo mode and just fly. He was also in one of the best adverts ever!
RIP Jonah, legend of the game. Unbelievable player.
Well said Jonah had god like status and was so humble in his interviews, sadly missed xx
_The scrum cap is a form of headgear used by rugby players to protect the ears in the scrum, which can otherwise suffer injuries leading to the condition commonly known as cauliflower ears_
helps stop head cuts too
Americans know about cauliflowers ears because of wrestling. And they do use that sort of helmet, or ears protections, as well.
The All Blacks no 11 you were asking about is Jonah Lomu,one of the all time rugby greats.When he first came on the scene,nobody knew how to deal with him,because he was 6 ft 5,and incredibly fast and strong.He was only 19 when he played in the 1995 World Cup.Unfortunately,he suffered with a rare kidney disease,and had to retire from rugby in 2007,and sadly he passed away in November 2015 from a heart attack brought on by his kidney problem.He was only 40 .An absolute legend as a player,and also as a human being.You should react to a video about him.
I second this. My all time favourite player and I'm not a Kiwi.
So true
Lomu was the greatest, the one true rugby superstar who made rugby union the great international sport it is today.
As a French guy my fondest memory is the 1999 World Cup semifinals in Paris that opposed France and the New Zealand All Blacks.
The complete match is on UA-cam.
Now I can't libel the dead, Lomu wasn't the only NZ Rugby Player to end up with kidney problems. A lot of 1990's bodybuilders also had kidney problems (like Flex Wheeler). Many years of steroid abuse can contribute to this. That is why I never bought Lomu's speed and power.
@@robbie_ who is flex wheeler, what country and rugby team did he play for?????
The best thing about rugby and the thing people miss on compilation videos over watching a full game is just how much effort goes in….the constant 40 minute half’s of running up and down,, the same players running back and making tackles then having the ball bursting forward being tackled, love watching international rugby things like the six nations or World Cup
Love the respect to the referee
Also if its rugby union there's loads of stoppages and scrums that can go on forever so make sure you take your knitting or a good book
That's exactly that but you need a practised eye to enjoy it. But in the end when you love rugby a try is just a relief for an unhuman amount of collective efforts. And the traditions, the different styles and coutries, the big teams, the small teams. I love everything, even a rainy moody game wich finish by a 6 to 3 I don't care
17:00 That was a huge moment….Japan, a comparative minnow in rugby, had been giving South Africa, who are one of the top teams historically, really hard game. They had been in front and SA dragged themselves back and at the 80minute mark were 32-29 up and it looked like a huge upset have been avoided. Then Japan got the ball and played some of the hardest 3-4mins of rugby you will see resulting in this. It was a massive thing at a World Cup, their first win at a World Cup since 91 and announced Japans step up from the minnow category. Watched it live and quite frankly its one of the best games I have watched.
One of the biggest upsets in all of sports. 300-1 with some bookies. A great intro to the game.
Think I forget to breathe for the end of that match, absolutely amazing game.
greatest game of the world cup
We as South Africans would of course like to have every video showing this banned until 3001, we became World Champs again since that game but this thing still haunts us😀😀but in truth we were outplayed that day.
@@ericsmith1453 How about 5001!!! And why does the rugby fraternity keep replaying this?! Eish. LOL
In Rugby you have to pass it backwards even accidentally knocking it forward is illegal with your hands so they kick it forward but the receiver has to be behind whether it's passed backward or kicked forward when it last touched by the passer, they go on there chest as you have to literally touch it on the floor for it to be a try, after a try worth 5 points they kick it over the posts for a further 2 points called a conversion which is taken on the line up the pitch from where you touch down not always in the middle and for a penalty(Foul) which is too complicated too explain you get 3 when you kick it over. 2 halfs of 40 mins each stopped on the tv screen unlike football(soccer) for referee disciplinary reasons Etc but not all stop start like American Football, when the clock reaches 40 and 80 mins though it's one more play after that unless deliberate foul then you get another I think. That's why you see them kick it out at the end of the game sometimes if they are winning to end the game. Hope you understand that. Ps the Lions in red are a touring team every four years they play New Zealand, Australia or South Africa so each team every 12 years and there full name is The British and Irish Lions.
The lions are the best players from England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland playing in one team against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in a 4 year rotation. The next tour is to Australia 2025.
Also post are use for conversions after scoring a try. You kick 20m/22yrds ish back from the spot of the score and attempt to kick the ball between the post for an extra 2 points.
Posts are also used to kick penalties ... 3 points.
Can also kick a 1 point at any time throughout the match if you want to creep out of reach of a possible 1 try comeback for example.
@@ManKidRides Rugby league a drop goal is one point. This is rugby union, a drop goal is 3 points.
@@monkee1969 thanks, it's been FOREVER since i played either in the late 90's. I thought about if that was correct but was too lazy to google 🤣 Similar gist, but thanks again for the correction 👍
Rugby is truely an international sport and generates passion and goodwill amongst all nations
True. Very true.
Big love from Spain.
Girls you really need to see the haka it's performed by the New Zealand team before each rugby game it is truly the warrior spirit, a truly awesome thing to witness
Hi Ladies, while you showed some amazing tries, you omitted the try many consider to be the BEST try of all time. The Gareth Edwards Barbarians try from 1973, against the All Blacks. Check it out.
As others have said No 11 is Jonah Lomu unfortunately he died too young here are the Hakas from his funeral done by the teams he played for ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
Love your rugby reactions 😍
You should watch women's rugby.
Specially Portia Woodman (NZ)
And you don't have to pick a team for you... Just enjoy the sport we love and welcome to "Team Rugby" 😁❤️
The England women’s team are awesome. You have to watch them!
Love rugby 🏉 I was grinning from ear to ear all the way through this video...
Love rugby always forever
Hey Ladies
Natasha to answer your question. The goal posts are there for 3 reasons. You get the chance after scoring to add extra points by kicking the ball through the posts and above the bar in the same way you do in NFL. That gets you 2 extra points in Rugby Union. You can kick a penalty if the ref says your player has been fouled. That's 3 points. And lastly at anytime during the match you can kick the ball through the opposition's post and get 1 point.
Just to be clear and confuse you guys further there are 2 versions of Rugby. This video is Rugby Union. This is mainly a Southern England game and international with Australia, New Zealand, South Africa as well as a number of European nations.
Rugby League is a Northern England and some international countries game. It is more akin to NFL in that you have 6 tackles to try and score before handing the ball over to your opponent.
In Rugby Union there is no 1 point kick. A drop goal (dropping the ball in front of you and kicking it on the bounce over the posts) is worth 3 points.
Great video again. Glad you love rugby. No.11 for New Zealand is Jonah Lomu. One of the best to ever play the game. Respected the world over. Sadly no longer with us. New Zealand and the other South Sea islands do The Haka (War Dance ) just before kick off. Awesome. Jonah Lomu funeral was absolutely amazing and emotional. R.I.P. Keep up the good work girls. 🏴👍
You really need to see a whole match. Rugby is awesome. Greatest sport in the world. Australian Rules is a completely different sport. In rugby you have to pass backwards. The number 11 from NZ is Jonah Lomu arguably the best player of all time. Yes Rugby is kind of more like basketball than NFL. I would love you to see more Rugby I love seeing people finding the greatest sport in the world.
Glad to see you girls enjoy another rugby video. If you get a chance to watch some Women's rugby please do so. Also watch what has been called the greatest try ever (Barbarians vs All Blacks 1973). The Barbarians are an invite only team of internationals who play exhibition matches. The Irish guy that, in your words, "just made it in" was Brian O'Driscoll one of the greatest players of all time. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK.
you really do have to watch this. This is an extended clip, with not only the greatest try ever. What you have to remember is back then, they were all amateurs with day jobs, no professionals. A lot of the names recited by the commentator came from the fabulous Welsh team of the 70s who had some of the greatest players of all time

All Black number 11 Jona Lomu RIP. Helmets are sometimes worn by players that get involved in the scrum (a play between both teams, and because of the physical contact their ears can become 'cauliflower ears' so they protect themselves. Nice video
Lomu funeral should be reacted to: ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
A quick rundown of the "International" colours...
New Zealand --- All Black ( Thus the name "All Blacks")
South Africa -- Dark Green Jerseys with gold trimmings and numbers, white shorts
Australia -- Gold Jerseys, Dark green shorts
Japan -- Red-and-white hooped jerseys, white shorts
England -- White jerseys, white shorts (maybe they should be called the "All Whites"??)
Scotland -- Navy blue jerseys white shorts
Ireland -- Green Jerseys (lighter than South Africa), white shorts
Wales -- Red jerseys, black shorts
British Lions (a combination of the 4 Home unions, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales) -- Red jerseys (representing Wales), white shorts (representing England), navy-blue (main body) socks (representing Scotland), green sock-tops (representing Ireland)
Argentina -- Light-blue and white broad-hooped jerseys, white shorts
France -- Blue Jerseys, white shorts.
A quick "aside" regarding colours... I think it was an "unwritten convention" that, if a team used "stripes", the rugby team jerseys would carry horizontal stripes (hoops), and the soccer team jerseys would carry vertical stripes (Argentina being a case in point)....
you've forgotten italy
@@sjbict
I was thinking of "major" rugby-playing nations...
There's Romania, Fiji, Samoa, Canada, Namibia, USA, Tonga.... as well, not so?
I included Japan, because there was a clip of them AND they beat a major team at the World Cup.
Welcome to Rugby! The game has some great tactical plays such as scrums and lineouts it flows well and has many phases making for an exciting game. To score a try downward pressure must be placed on the ball on or across the try line equivalent to your end zone hence diving on the ball lol
The hat is called a scrum cap, they wear them to mostly protect their ears.
Or if they have a previous head injury
Yes ears can get ripped when competing for the ball. My great Uncle played Rugby Union for London Irish. He's a big guy at 6 foot 5 inches and played as a forward. I'd often see him in the family lounge post match with a black eye and his nose being half way across his cheek!
The number 11 of the “All Blacks” you where raving over, was the Late, Great Jonah Lumo, the greatest Rugby player of all time.
Well worth looking at some videos of him playing.
The world of Rugby mourned his death. ❤️
Another wonderful reaction. I love the enthusiasm that you put into all the reactions. 🧡
You've loved the UK countryside, Architecture, humour, traditions and culture. Now you're loving the sports that the UK invented!
Is there anything that you don't love about the UK?
Keep up the good work, ladies.
i think the weather is the deal breaker for them, not that i can blame them :)
Yeah but the UK hemisphere teams as the 2023 RWC shows as the southern hemisphere teams stole the show in the quarter finals ya moron tahahaha really 😂😂💯💯👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
It's just so awesome watching people fall in love with rugby. In a lot of countries where it's played we just absorb it from an early age so we don't get that lightbulb moment where we suddenly realise how good it is. These are mainly top, top tip top top level games, but it's also played at school level, small local club level, town level and even local pub level. They're awesome too, but for other reasons. All rugby is family, so welcome to you both :)
Have you watched rugby anthems? The ones from the Six Nations games are so passionate and goosebump-y!
Smashed it out of the park again ladies with another great video.
You are right with your basketball Comments… Always tried to keep the ball alive and always expected it
Another fantastic video ladies. Love your reactions to Rugby. Hope to see you do more 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Having scored a try (originally to get a ‘try at goal’) for 5 points you get a chance to kick a goal through the posts for 2 extra points, if awarded a penalty you can opt to try and kick through the posts for 3 points, the final way of scoring through the posts is a ‘drop goal’ which is where you kick the ball in open play (must be dropped from the hands and the ball must touch the ground before you kick it) for 3 points.
As for the throwing the ball, in rugby the ball must go backwards (if it goes forwards it’s a ‘forward pass’ or a ‘knock-on’).
The padded helmet are normally worn be the foreword players bigger and bulkier they protect their ear from damage in the scrum. It is impossible to describe a scrum you just have to see one to understand....
Never been a rugby fan, but this video and your enthusiasm may have just changed my mind 💕
The shirt numbers in Rugby denote playing position in the team. So #1, #2 and #3 are the 'front-row' forwards are the rally strong, powerful guys in a scrum (you'll get that later). #4 and #5 are the taller 'second-row' forwards who are dominant in the 'line-outs' (you'll get that later as well). #6, #7 and #8 are the back-row forwards; they usually cover more ground than any other players in a game; I'm not sure of the NFL equivalent, but they are strong, with some pace and aggressive, destructive tacklers to shut down opposition moves.
Then you come to #9 and #10; these are the 'half backs (9= scrum-half, 10=fly-half) they are lighter, faster, and creative play makers who link the forwards to the backs.
Then you have the centres (full name; centre three-quarters); #12 and #13; fast, powerful runners who are vital in defence and attack depending on field position and match situation (this is where I used to play). Then we move to #11 and 14# these are the left and right wings, the greyhounds of the team; fast, skilful, good hands, tactical kickers, and good tacklers in defence; they generally score more tries than anyone else.
Finally you have #15, the full back; the last line of defence but someone who can become an extra attacker as well; needs great hands for catching the ball, pace, bravery under pressure, and really good kicking from hand.
I was at a presentation by the former England captain Will Carling who was asked if he was ever intimidated by the New Zealand Haka.." No its just a bunch of blokes dancing!"
😆
If they'd asked Lomu if he was intimidated by the English, he'd probably have said "No. They're just a bunch of skittles to me" :)
@@ftumschk 😆
What you have just watched is Rugby union, 15 players on each Team. You might want to do a comparison with Rugby League which is more the working class game with 13 players on each Team. The difference will become very evident. Great content Girls as always 👍😊.
You just saw New Zealand's late, great Jonah Lomu ploughing through in order to score a try.
Great vid, seeing as you seem to be a fledgling All Blacks fan you should check out the Haka and in particular Jonah Lomu’s funeral Hakas, very moving.
in quite a lot of these it's the context which makes them 'great' tries.
The reason you won't know what the goalposts or scrum caps are for is that you were watching a greatest tries compilation, not a greatest kicks or greatest scrums compilation. Watch a whole match - tries are not the only thing! (And, no, you only have to touch the ball down beyond the try line to score - diving is just being flamboyant!)
Awesome stuff ladies.
Jonah Lomu was #11
6foot5 120kgs. First rugby superstar of the professional era. Passed away at age 40yrs due to kidney failure. Even when he was at the top of his career, he was never close to his full potential because of his illness. Unbelievable really when we consider how devastating he was on attack.
Ah... loved watching this reaction, almost brought tears to my eyes (it did) Amazing watchin your reaction. Thank you ladies! Hope you are well.
Fantastic video ladies thank you
Hi Guys. If you want chills and goose bumps, you need to check out the Welsh national anthem being sung at a rugby match. I am Welsh and it still gets to me every time.
6:00 that number 11 for the all blacks is Jonah Lomu. What a legend.
Nice work ladies, just came across your channel. I'm a kiwi lad that lives in the states. Great to see you enjoy the sport, it is by far our biggest religion in New Zealand. It's not just a sport, it's our culture.
I really enjoy the NFL also, just a completely different sport, neither deserve to be compared to each other. Both great in their own way.
Anyway, well done team!
Great reaction ladies.Rugby players enjoy watching Grid Iron too especially with all the gear they have to carry and still run very fast and their tackling is just insane. Some of those guys are huge.Yes rugby players wear some protective gear such as padded head gear to lessen the risk of concussion and shoulder pads,mouth guards etc.However the protection is too a minimum as not to be an advantage during game play but still enables some protection. Womens rugby is great and womens 7s rugby.USA are doing quite well in mens and womens 7s rugby.American rugby players were/are lethal tacklers and are great to watch.Yes belly diving is just for better security of the ball when scoring a try.This prevents possible knocking forward or dropping the ball when placing on the ground when scoring.When you do drop the ball etc its embarassing and try is disallowed.Watch Rugby Haka which are a ritual in Rugby NZ prior to playing e.g .Best Allblack Haka.Watch We belong by beats dre and this gives you an incite into what haka is about. Goodstuff ladies your fun to watch.Kia ora from NZ🇳🇿
Great reaction! One of the best on UA-cam.
Thank you! ❤️
The All Black number 11 was the great Jonah Lomu. Not only one of the best players the world has ever seen but a true gentleman. Jonah left this world far too soon.
I haven't seen all comments yet, the "hats" are scrum caps, worn by the players who make up the "scrum". In scrums clashes of heads happen, ears get knocked and the caps offer a little protect to clashes and reduce the risk of "cauliflower ears". Not all wear them, some go for headbands or tape to hold the ears.
A try is when the ball is "touched down to the ground with positive pressure" over the line in what you would call the "end zone".
Also, look at some of the videos of rugby referees (notably Nigel Owen, but there are other great refs now he has retired) and the level of respect they get from the players.
I'm sure others will recommend great players it's worth checking out from all teams.
Do check some of the womens games, maybe not quite as bulky, but don't think they play soft, they play with as much passion and skill and dedication.
The sport is growing, in recent times the Japanese have come on in leaps and bound and are now well respected, the US team is doing well.
A game of 2 halves (as someone once said, but they were I think talking of football (soccer) but true of rugby). Two halves of 40 minutes of near continuous play, of running, physical contact, of giving their all. And at the end, the to sides applaude each other off the pitch and probably end up in a pub or bar having drinks. Respect is a core value of true players and officials.
Number 11 New Zealand is Jonah Lomu.
It’s great to see that you ladies are enjoying the game of Rugby.
Here’s another Rugby video you ladies should react to and that’s the best Rugby Referee in the world, and his name is Nigel Owens, who is Welsh.
Despite his small stature compared to the Rugby players, when Nigel Owens spoke you listened.
He is the G.O.A.T of Rugby referees.
The video is titled 10 minutes of Nigel Owens being Nigel Owens.
A great watch seeing you react to this, and some great tries too. Agree with the pause later on with that amazing teamwork, beautifully done. Thanks.
Ladies, the joy of watching you watching rugby. What a wonderful start to a Sunday! ❤️
The goals are used for drop goals - ie running towards post you can kick it over the bar and between the sticks. Secondly after every try you get a conversion attempt for additional points. Scoring is different in Rugby League. There are also penalty kicks over the bar for points.
Check out Lord of the Wings, a tribute to Jonah Lomu. He was so good he even had a burger named after at McDonald's.
The word 'try' is a hangup from many years ago when grounding the ball over the try line gave you the chance (a try) to kick a goal, but didn't itself score any points. Nowadays a try scores 5 points, the kick at goal following a try (a conversion) scores 2 points. A penalty kick (following a infringement) scores 3 points, and a drop goal (where the ball is bounced on the ground and the player kicks it on the rebound) also scores 3 points.
To score a try the ball must be grounded with 'controlled downward force'. It's no good just crossing over the line like in American football. The conversion has to be taken from a point 90 degrees from where the ball was grounded, so if you score in the corner, it's a much harder conversion kick than if you score under the posts.
When you saw the player being lifted into the air by his team mates that was a lineout, which is given if the ball goes out of play on the sidelines (called into touch).
The poss mentioned are called goal posts as a previous Chapel,mentioned you can convert a try scored drop a goal, also if a penalty kick is awarded you can try to convert for 3 points or kick for touch for a lineout and you have the throw in hope that makes sense. 20:09
PS the goal posts are in play when players drop kick between them for 3 points,. or when a try is scored 5 points then they try to convert through the posts for 2 extra points
I think you would love a full game, but a warning to Natasha - there aren't many breaks in play, it's pretty much full on for the whole game time. Also there are 2 unusual restart methods. The line out ( the one you saw with the players being lifted) and the scrum, where they both teams huddle together. There are also 2 mixed teams. The international British and Irish Lions, and the Barbarians, who I like for 2 reasons. Their nickname is the Baa- Baas, and although the Jersey is black and white hoops, they all wear their own club socks! And scrum caps are to keep their ears pretty! 😉😁
A few answers (did quickly check through the comments first) from an American Football fan and former Rugby player in the UK 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Australian Rules is a different sport, there’s also another form of Rugby called Rugby League which plays quite differently - it’s also another sport but still closely related.
Things to remember is that in Rugby you can only pass backwards (there’s no Quarterback although the Fly Half has a similar role in some ways - no 10 jersey - all players in a position wear a specific jersey unlike Football)
You have to put the ball down with pressure to score, you can’t just break the plane with the ball
And for conversion kicks (PAT) they are always taken in line with where the Try (touchdown) was scored, that’s why you see them run behind the goal posts if they can to get a direct kick afterwards
The cloth helmets are scrum caps, mostly to protect the ears in the scrum - players are divided into two categories (there’s some remnants of this left in Football), Forwards and Backs and generally the Forwards are the bigger, stronger guys that play in the Scrum (contesting the ball) and Backs are smaller, faster guys that will often be scoring the tries - this is not always the case though but broadly speaking. I was a Winger (so a Back) from the age of 11. Left Wing is number 11 on the jersey, Right Wing is 14. I played both. It’s roughly equivalent to a Wide Receiver although that’s not necessarily a helpful comparison
Oh and another thing to mention,
there is no separate offence, defence or special teams - just one team of 15 with a maximum of 8 substitutions (some competition rules allow fewer) and these are permanent, when a player is substituted out they won’t play for the rest of the entire game
I was a full back number 15
I was generally a Back, though occaisionally a Forward, meaning I've been in a few scrums. I think the scrum caps are there to prevent Cauliflower Ear, bur I also think they'd be helpful against people putting their tongue in your ear just to put you off (yes that happens).
League is boring though.
Some bloody good kicking at the rugger today wupert, not like those roughy league boys who insist on running and passing the ball, so boring
@@jackthelad5366 personally I enjoy League too
Must see rugby's greatest hits. Pure beef required.
Love your reactions to this, it's great to see someone fall in love with Rugby! A few notes for you, a "try" in rugby is synonymous with "touchdown", so greatest try's is greatest scores basically. Second, the reason that most of them dive when they score is because you have to touch the ball down over the try line. This used to be the case in early American Football as well (hence it was called a "touch" "down") but rugby kept the rule where you have to touch the ball to the turf and have downward force for it to count. I'm an American and love watching the Eagles when I can, but I lived in New Zealand and definitely endorse the All Blacks as my second home team!
Womens rugby is a good idea. I don't think many reactors would react to that. It's fierce too.
Aussie Rules is a completely different game to Rugby
The "lightning rod" guy was playing for the USA in a world cup pool game against South Africa and left Bryan Habana of South Africa, one of the fastest rugby backs ever, "eating dust."
Just so you know….there isn’t a single person on the planet that knows all the rules of Rugby. Seriously! Love you guys btw. An Irish guy in Cambodia ❤
Hi ladies....Pleeeeeas do more Rugbi videos. I love it
I love these American ladies. Please react to Jonah Lomu. He was a freak of nature and you will be amazed at his size and speed. Often unstoppable.
And if you want to cry, watch his funeral. The intensity of the haka performed by former teammates is great.
Please also react to Shane Williams' greatest tries. He's a small man by rugby standards, but a giant when it comes to vision, skill, speed and an almost magical ability to deceive his opponents with his awesome side-stepping ability.
@@andi4022 big respect
So glad you girls appreciate the speed at which the game is played. Have a look at Rugby League.
“There’s too many defenders!Hows he making it through there?”……meet Jonah Lomu,one of the best rugby players of all time.
NZ was the number one team in the world for years but if you want some good rivalry if you choose New Zealand then your wife should support South Africa as they are the two giants in world rugby. South Africa and New Zealand 3 world cups each with South Africa now being the number 1 team in world rugby.
Loved how the ladies responded. However, I think whoever assembled the footage is not a Springbok fan...the selected clips leave you with the impression that the Springboks are totally flat footed, LOL
Definitely check out women's rugby. 😍
Another great video ladies, the helmets that you asked about are called scrum caps, they are to stop your ears getting smashed or ripped off in the scrum.
The goal posts are used for conversion after a try. The try is worth 5 points ,a converted try is worth 7 points meaning a conversion is 2 points. They can be used for penalties on fouls as well which are worth 3 points. Whatever they have on their heads is a head gear and its used to cushion their heads or protect ears from friction during scrums. Scrums are when the 8 forwards from either side come together to contest the ball after a knock on or a forward pass. A knock on is when you fumble and drop the ball infront of you and as you know the ball can only travel backwards unless its a kicked ball. They lift each other during line outs which happen when a ball is kicked into touch. Here the forwards again from both teams come together again to contest for the ball and the act of lifting a jumper up is called hoisting. And yes the forwards are the engine of the team mostly doing the set pieces and the backs are tasked with most of the plays, number 1 to 8 are the forwards then 9 to 15 the backs. As rough as it looks, the sport has so many laws/ rules (21) and for you to watch a full game and enjoy all of it youll need to know the rules otherwise youll just be anxious waiting for the part you understand whats going on.
The goal posts are used for try conversion (additional points 2 after a try (5 points) in the end zone as you call it) also for penalties which is 3 points
The reason why most players dive in for a try is because the player must have control of the ball when he places it in the try zone. There is too much chance chance of an opposition player spoiling a try if it is placed down by a player when under pressure.
You could also be bundled off the edge of the pitch, accidently run off the edge (rare but I have seen it happen) or just drop it while bending over to put it down.
Yeah I agree 👍Rugby 🏉is cool and tough sport thank you watching it 😀
Nice to meet you both.always respectful!!
So glad you're enjoying rugby. Yes NZ All Black's are easily one of the best teams ever they dominate rugby over the decades, even great teams like the Springboks and the Aussies bow to them. I used to live in awe of the late great Jonah Lomu, that man was a machine and I have a lasting memory of him scoring a try down the wing with two opponents literally hanging off him, what a guy and so sad his career and life were cut sadly short. I support England and the Lions by heritage but my heart loves the All Black's xx
Aye! The Springboks hold the All Blacks in high regard, we have immense respect for them but WE BOW TO NO ONE!!!
You might care to look at Irish hurling. It is unlike anything you have seen so far.
Jonah Lomu first true Super Star of professional rugby. Youngest person to play for the All Blacks. 120kg (265 lb) 1.96m (6.5ft) and runs 100M in 10.70sec LEGEND
Hi Natasha & Debbie, not much for me to add to all the previous comments except to say thank you for your contagious enthusiasm and all round joy that you generously share.. I'm an England rugby fan. xx.
the history of the sport is pretty interesting and the sheer scale of it is also fairly immense, as i said in my live chat comment i would strongly recommend you watch videos and content surrounding Rugby League, as it's the 'easier' version of Rugby, it's also got a lot in common with American football and as such you might understand it easier than trying to jump into the Rugby Union rabbit hole which is a lot more complex and involved.
i used to play Rugby (union) before injury forced me to quit (used to play scrum half), it was an amazing time and honestly it's a true gentleman's sport.
to answer a few points you brought up:
the famous #11 from New Zealand was the late Jonah Lomu, widely regarded as the best Rugby player of all time.
the head equipment worn is a 'scrum cap' used to protect the ears of players involved in scrummages and to help prevent 'cauliflower ear', it's not a mandatory piece of equipment but most players who are involved in the scrum tend to wear them now, and with more medical research being done into head injury and the lasting effects of head trauma in sport certain things are becoming more and more common in terms of safety, so while currently it's an optional piece of gear you can wear i wouldn't be surprised if in a few years time it becomes a mandatory thing for all players to wear.
South Africa the springboks is no1 in the world ... new Zealand 2nd
False. In world rugby
1 - South Africa - 90.61 pts
2 - France - 88.88 pts
3 - New Zealand - 88.75 pts
4 - Ireland - 88.22 pts
5 - England - 84.50 pts
Can't blame the Ladies though...this compilation makes the Springboks look clueless. Must have been done by an All Blacks fan. LoL
A short list of the biggest rugby rivalries…
1. The oldest sporting trophy in the world The Calcutta cup England versus Scotland
2. England versus Australia
3. New Zealand versus Australia
4. England versus Wales
5. England versus France
6. New Zealand versus South Africa.
6. British and Irish Lions versus any of South Africa/New Zealand/Australia (Only happens every four years)
Ireland v England and ireland v wales
@@gallowglass2630 whilst England versus Ireland is now a great game to watch I wouldn’t put it down as a “rivalry“ in the classic sense that the Calcutta game is…
@@Roberto_79 Well maybe its a bit lopsided beating england is the height of achievement for any irish national team they are the old enemy and especially in football ,rugby and cricket(to an extremely lesser degree) beating them at the sports they invented
I love rugby because there are no time outs, occasional stops for blood time. Also no offenders and defenders per se
11.50 red jerseys that was the USA scoring, Mzengwa (something like that)is one of the fastest rugby players ever.
The full name of the game includes the words "Union" (the Code 15 a side, etc...), "Rugby" ( the place (a school) the code was invented) and "Football". Kicking is the way to move the ball forward other than carrying it. It remains football as the ball can be kicked at any time, more likely when handling conditions are adverse (rain or snow) or when sides are mismatched ( most Rugby is an Amateur Game,is not on TV).
Drop Kicks (ball touches ground before kick) start the game, restart after conversion or when the ball crosses Dead ball line (end of pitch)as a 22m drop. It can be used to score a goal in play (like a Field Goal).
Formal Place Kicks ( ball on the ground) are taken for attempts at goal for a penalty or Conversion of a try, these kicks are taken from where the offence happened ( any dissent adds 10m)or in line with where the Try was touched down ( hence the reason to run between the posts).
The ball can be kicked along the ground like Association Football or be kicked forward and caught again by the kicker (or another player who was behind the line of the kicker when kicked). The ball can also be kicked out of play " kicked into touch" off the side of the pitch.
Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿...love the t-shirt and reactions ✌🏾
Number 11 - Jonah Lomu...New Zealand rugby legend...R.I.P🙏🏽
I really enjoy your reactions and watching this, with you both wearing the shirts of my favourite teams, is great. I moved to NZ from Scotland years ago. Rugby in NZ is pretty much the religion.
To answer your question about the goalposts. When a try is scored (a try is the equivalent to a touchdown but a try isn't scored until the ball touches the ground in the goal area) the kicker attempts a kick for another 2 points in much the same way in football except that the kick is from a kicking tee directly in line from where the ball was put down.
You should watch a game from start to finish (you missed a wonderful series of games recently where Ireland beat NZ in a series of 3 matches, and became the number one team in the world in the process). Coming up shortly is the Rugby championship which is a tournament for the southern hemisphere's best teams. Rugby is great, glad to see you getting into it.
Rugby is just pure adrenaline. There’s only 7 countries thatve beaten NZ all blacks. England Ireland Wales South Africa France Argentina and Australia. You loved the free run tries, i recommend watching Mack Hansens try against France in the Guinness Six Nations 2022. Great video.
Great reaction. The best plays have lots of passes and just keeps going. And you are in luck! In October this year you have the women's rugby World Cup so will be great to see a full tournament. Extended video review of the tournament please 🙏
To address some of your questions.
The 'try' is scored when a players places the ball on the ground in what you call an End Zone. They must place downward pressure on the ball and must have control of the ball. That scores 5 points. To answer a later question, the goal posts are used for penalty kicks and after a try is scored. It's not shown in the videos you watched but a player must place kick the ball from the ground over the cross bar and between the upright posts to score extra points.
The All Blacks player with the number 11 you kept asking about is Jonah Lomu. He is the biggest star the sport has ever had. He was a giant of a man, fast and powerful.
SOme of the players you asked abotu are wearing head gear, a tiny amount of padding over their head. It has no relevance to position, skill or role. It is just a personal choice of the player.
The green team near the end, green shirts, white shorts was Ireland.
The 'Lions' team you asked about is the British and Irish Lions. Every four years a special team is made up of the top players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. They call them the Lions. They then tour either Australia, New Zealand or South Africa and play a series against one of those teams. It's a big deal because those three south hemisphere teams only get to play the Lions once every 12 years!
No. 11 For the All Blacks is Jonah Lomu probably the GOAT in that position. As you would have read in other comments he had a rare kidney disease that eventually brought on a heart attack and his untimely death. Such a beautiful human being inside and out. Sorely missed.
The try scored by the "Gas man" (Takudzwa Ngwenya) at 12:00 was for the USA against South Africa in the World Cup. The player he scorched past was Bryan Habana, regarded as one of the quickest wings in World rugby. Despite the great try the USA went on to lose 64-15.
My late husband played rugby union for 25 years (from the age of 15) as a front row prop (either number 1 or 2) and was very proud he never ended up with ‘cauliflower ears’ and used to tell me stories about the ‘dark arts’ lol
You lassies keep doing what you do, your patter's none too shabby.
Wearing that shirt well Debbie, gaun yersel lass.
Cheers from Scotland, be well 🍻❤
