*_"rugby players built different ..."_* ... That's a good way of putting it. One of my old mates from way back used to play for Leicester Tigers and he was like a Tree Trunk of solid muscle. The toughest man I've ever known (and believe me I've known a few :) Sadly He suffer a recurring back injury in the end. :(
Here in England we play rugby in like every school and you only need mouth guards but can't tackle above the shoulder. There are 15 on the pitch for 1 team
Rugby has more behind it then just grown men and women smashing each other ever few minutes. Like one of you's said "How do you get past that?" Somewhere along the lines of that, Rugby isn't a one skill sport, you need to have multiple skills and mastery over a various amount of expertise, for example: Kicking, passing, stepping etc. You must posses a lot of stamina as well, full 40 min halves with non-stop plays (unless a penalty or something like that happens, but that doesn't last long) running back in forth, throwing yourself into tackles, or putting yourself against a ball carrier, running miles across the field, thinking about whats coming next while in play, its very stressful. Yet so fun. Getting pass the defensive line, varies in many different ways. You could be big and strong and just power through them all, but that could only get you so far, unless you're Jonah Lomu or some beast like him. You could find holes in the defence, and run through them, or get one of your players into that hole by passing it to him/her. Stepping, requires a lot skill, you got to know when to step, how to step and the amount of power you put into the step to push of you're foot and speed through. Although, sometimes, Rugby players have a good mindset, and can read you're steps. Mixing up the defence is common in both Rugby and League, doing amazingly confusing plays that even gets the crowd confused happens. A lot of work and intellect go into those plays, these can allow holes to open in the defence to again, put yourself or a teammate through. There are so many ways to break the defence line in Rugby and League. The best thing about it, is that it doesn't matter what size you are. Size literally doesn't matter in this sport. You could be the smallest in the whole game and you can hit the biggest players. I mean, ask Fef De Klerk "The Giant Slayer", it requires good technique, skill and timing, but literally, you can hit ANYBODY, not matter the size difference.
Good post. Important to point out that the game is very nuanced. Requires a wide range of skills and technique in the tackle is essential. The reason that there is surprisingly few injuries, is because players are taught technique in the tackle. Tackle rules also very important. Must not tackle above the shoulder, must use arms in the tackle, if you lift a player, you are responsible for bringing him or her down safely. No pads=pain, so need to get right.
One of our high schools hardest hitting tacklers in rugby was 5"2 and 60kg. The guy was a monster. Had a chin made of granite and could smash me who was 6"3 and 102kg at 16...
Rugby is a brutal sport but the rugby culture is one of gentlemen. Even at school age, they call the ref's 'sir' and have so much respect for the referee. After the game, both teams will change into shirt and ties and share a meal together. It's a great sport
Enjoyed this. It’s great to see you guys take an interest. Rugby players vary in size between around 180 pounds and 280 pounds (with exceptions outside this range). Skill level of players differs by position, but generally it is high. Because of no padding, it means that players need to get the contact area right to avoid injury. There are surprisingly few serious injuries and I’ve played with guys who are in their 50s. Once you stop, very difficult to get back into. Worth pointing out, that generally the spirit between opposition players and fans is very inclusive. Never any lasting animosity and everyone has a beer and a chat after the game. Rugby referees are also highly respected by players and fans. What they say goes, no arguments.
Yep we have a decent Jersey Reds women's team at the moment, know lots of the players, they are just as tough as the men, and many train with the men's team as well with their gym work
There is a format of the game where 7 players a side is played. Usual format there are 15 players each team with 8 forwards and 7 backs. Each player has a positions they play. In the forwards who take part in the scrum there are Props, Flankers and Number 8 and Srum Half.

Played casual rugby for 34 years. Got a few bits that do not work well now, but would not do things any differently. Despite how it looks it is a friendly, honourable game.
A lot of those clips have Manu Tuilagi in there, react to him or the Tuilagi brothers 😤 Samoa’s finest. Thanks for the mad content, you got a new sub. Love from Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺🇼🇸
I love your reaction guys. actually loads of rules in rugby lol.i captained fule union and Blackpool town league (2 different codes) I had my nose broken most of my ribs some fingers broken both shoulders ripped my bicep in half and turned my right leg the wrong way around 180° from the knee down and the only reason I quit was a was picked for British martial arts team .I love rugby lol
I am from South Africa, i started to to play this game at an eleagal age, i can still feel some pains in my knees in winter time from this sport, im 42 now, but ill never give it for anything in the world, it was littlerly the best time of my life.
most South African boys play from 2 years before school till university hoping to play professionally. I played 11 years of school season and club the rest of the year
There’s actually a lot of rules in rugby on tackling safely. And plus most pros have been playing since they were kids and know how to tackle properly so no one gets hurt
here in Yorkshire, 8 year olds play exactly like that. they get hurt, get up walk it off. and sit and eat with the opposition after. My 10 year old niece is a brutal little one, she had a bloody nose off a bigger kid. still played and took him down. no high tackles though
the best thing about rugby is that you dont have to be strong, I was 14, probably about 5'9 and 60kg, (115lbs) and i was playing rugby, there are a lot of rules about safe tackling
G'day USA. who wants to understand rugby, here we go. In rugby to score you must Touch the ball Down on the ground in the endzone and it is call a "try". In NFL its call a "Touchdown" and to score you TRY to get to the endzone with the ball. Sorry one of my joke, and like joke/sports/arts don't need understand just enjoy and appreciate the people behind it. My recommendation. Juke Shaun Johnson. beast mode Jason Taumalolo. Hitman Steve Matai. Enjoy n take care. Love from OZ
always remember a teacher shouting across the field " your head his arse" as a kid learnt the hard way not to tackle in-front of knees. but it one hell of a game to play🤕😵😀
Two formats of rugby you have the 15 a side and a 7 a side version. The 15 a side is what we can say the classic version or the main version of the sport. It is played for 80 minutes for 40 minutes each half. The 7 a side format is played for 14 minutes with 7 minutes each half. 7's is fast and explosive and this format is played in the Olympics.
When it comes to injuries in the game, broken bones do occur, but most times as long as it's not too bad, players will continue playing. Though you might want to look into Anthony Tupou and his quadruple jaw fracture, the worst the attending doctors had ever seen!
bra, im a south african high school rugby player and yo when u get hit , its like you meeting with your ancestors bro but they also teach you how to get through pain
We play it from Primary school upwards. I played when I was in primary. You guys should react to Jonah Lomu, Jason Taumalolo and The Tuilagi brothers. I think you would like watching them.
Good evening gentlemen, thank you for posting this. It’s possibly the only honest reaction I’ve ever seen. You probably already know now but if you block a tackle it’s a penalty and the other team takes the ball.
I played rugby on the girls team in senior school (high school age 14/15). It's played in schools... 🤣🤣🤣 There is NO mercy given when you're on the girls team. We eere vicious !!! Love from the UK. Xxx
i used to play rugby in primary school i remember seeing a kid get knock out on the field for the first time when i was 12 ... im from Cape Town South Africa rugby is a big deal here...we won the last world cup... you guys should checkout the rugby side steps its what you guys call jukes...cool video drop more rugby videos.
Fun fact, less serious injuries and less fatalities than American football. When you get big pads involved and helmets, it's no longer skin on skin. Just like in boxing. When they made the rule you had to were gloves many more people died. You could cause far more damage with a gloved fist because if you hit a guy hard enough on the jaw to knock him over without a glove you'd have a broken hand.
This is a good explanation of which is sport is more dangerous. "As a long-time football enthusiast who enjoyed playing the sport in high school, it hurts me to say that I would rather see my kid on a rugby pitch than on the football gridiron. Rugby may entail more physical tackles throughout the course of a game owing to the continual flow of the game, but I feel the players also have a lot more respect for their opponents. Rugby players don’t feel invincible since they don’t have hard plastic shielding their heads as football players do, and they won’t use their heads as a weapon. In rugby, precise tackling form is much more important since you can’t just drop your shoulder into an opponent or take them out at their knees. And, unlike intended receivers in football, who are vulnerable to massive hits when looking back for a pass, rugby players appear to be aware of possible tacklers at all times".
We start playing like this from 5 year old. By the time you are 16 you are proficient enough to play balls to the wall. At 35 you are considered lucky to still play. At 45 it's a miracle. Your knees and shoulders just don't last. In my prime I weighed 240lbs and stood 6ft tall. I was considered too small.
@@JA-ov1ux true but I think he means it originated here and then spread to the colonies of Britain in South Africa, Australia etc, so different parts of the world but still people of British origin
Because they don’t wear padding, Rugby players are generally taught to tackle in as safe a way as possible, but that doesn’t mean accidents and idiots don’t happen. I have a friend - big beefy guy - who did two tours in Afghanistan in the British armed forces without a scratch, came back home and one asshole tackled him wrong and now he’s in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Hasn’t kept him down, he was starting Wheelchair Basketball teams last I heard.
Rugby doesn't allow forward passes, it's all laterals and backward passes. The goal is to bring the ball to the end zone (called a try, equivalent to a touchdown). The option to kick it into the goal also exists. The plays don't stop when a player is tackled, the ball must be let go unless the player can recover and keep running.
Tackle rules: tackle ball holder only, 🚫 above the collar bone, don't tip them vertical (not reckless), stay in contact/maintain the tackle, don't tackle below the knees, no dragging, 🚫 tackling ball holder if they are in the air... yes u can tackle from behind if you are in the on side positon. Also... yes you should give it a go. You will really enjoy it! Islanders are a great bunch of guys to learn and play with.
"They weren't throwing no flags" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 South African 🇿🇦 here - most successful team in international rugby...No Blocking allowed in rugby...you also cannot pass the ball forward...and the game doesn't stop when you hit the ground neither...it's Rough AF, but it makes a strong man out of you
To understand the mentality in rugby, when I was in junior (age 18-19) I had a match, I was hit in the head and I took a little "vacation" from the game, 1-2 minutes, the doctor came to me and he gave me water (if you don't understand, WATER :)) ) to drink and from the side of the field the coach shouted at me "Theo, get up and play ( like , get up and play or i break your legs) ", and I got up and continued the game. Apart from the fact that rugby builds and strengthens you, you are mentally prepared as a child. Personally, when I played rugby, I didn't have sex (of any kind :)), 2-3 days before the match, and all that energy was on the field. This is usually the case with rugby players. Imagine all the energy accumulated before the match, all the testosterone and adrenaline in the field. You didn't feel much that day, no pain, nothing. The next day you started to feel something, but will pass ... we are mens. And without any disrespect, in my opinion, that's why NFL players are athletes and RUGBY players are warriors.
No tackling around the neck, no elbows, no fists. Most tackles are around the chest, waist or legs. It is allowed to push another player away with a flat hand when they try to tackle or block you.
My son broke his arm in March and he is under 11 had a operation and last week had his 1st game in over 4 months. And South Africa is the best team in the world. We start at 7 years old
Rugby Union is 2 teams of 15 playing 40 minute halves Rugby League is 2 teams of 13 playing 40 minute halves Rugby 9s is Nine-A-Side playing 9 minute halves Rugby 7s is Seven-A-Side playing 7 minute halves
I do enjoy watching American reaction clips, just to see their faces when they realise there's a world outside their borders and their country isn't the be all.
I’ve been playing rugby for 9 years it’s nice to see Americans who actually realise the sport is tuff and us rugby players built different 😂😈
Hell yeaaaaaa I used to play rugby union.

Because they don’t wear padding, Rugby players are generally taught to tackle in as safe a way as possible, but that doesn’t mean accidents and idiots don’t happen. I have a friend - big beefy guy - who did two tours in Afghanistan in the British armed forces without a scratch, came back home and one asshole tackled him wrong and now he’s in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Hasn’t kept him down, he was starting Wheelchair Basketball teams last I heard.
Rugby doesn't allow forward passes, it's all laterals and backward passes. The goal is to bring the ball to the end zone (called a try, equivalent to a touchdown). The option to kick it into the goal also exists. The plays don't stop when a player is tackled, the ball must be let go unless the player can recover and keep running.
Been playing rugby since 8 years old, hitting 27 years old in october, never get tired of playing!
Tackle rules: tackle ball holder only, 🚫 above the collar bone, don't tip them vertical (not reckless), stay in contact/maintain the tackle, don't tackle below the knees, no dragging, 🚫 tackling ball holder if they are in the air... yes u can tackle from behind if you are in the on side positon. Also... yes you should give it a go. You will really enjoy it! Islanders are a great bunch of guys to learn and play with.
two forms of rugby- one has 15 vs 15 players on the field, with each team having eight substitutes on the bench, the other is called Sevens 7 vs 7.
"They weren't throwing no flags" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 South African 🇿🇦 here - most successful team in international rugby...No Blocking allowed in rugby...you also cannot pass the ball forward...and the game doesn't stop when you hit the ground neither...it's Rough AF, but it makes a strong man out of you
To understand the mentality in rugby, when I was in junior (age 18-19) I had a match, I was hit in the head and I took a little "vacation" from the game, 1-2 minutes, the doctor came to me and he gave me water (if you don't understand, WATER :)) ) to drink and from the side of the field the coach shouted at me "Theo, get up and play ( like , get up and play or i break your legs) ", and I got up and continued the game. Apart from the fact that rugby builds and strengthens you, you are mentally prepared as a child. Personally, when I played rugby, I didn't have sex (of any kind :)), 2-3 days before the match, and all that energy was on the field. This is usually the case with rugby players. Imagine all the energy accumulated before the match, all the testosterone and adrenaline in the field. You didn't feel much that day, no pain, nothing. The next day you started to feel something, but will pass ... we are mens. And without any disrespect, in my opinion, that's why NFL players are athletes and RUGBY players are warriors.
My 1st rugby team was at 5 and still playing at 45 😅
A lot of these guys are medical doctors, lawyers and professionals.
No tackling around the neck, no elbows, no fists. Most tackles are around the chest, waist or legs. It is allowed to push another player away with a flat hand when they try to tackle or block you.
lol rule number 1 in the field, try to dodge any tackles as many as possible so you dont get hurt lol
Americans have never seen rugby in Australia and New Zealand. I’ve been playing for 10 years. It’s the biggest toughest tackle game ever
Helmets aside, I don't think any elite rugby player would fear an NFL player even he was in pads. He'd go at him 100%.
Rugby has gotten safer over the years I can remember when we could dump tackle. Those were dangerous but my god they were fun to do
There are 2 teams of 15 players each on the field during the match so total 30 players excluding substitutions on field
My son broke his arm in March and he is under 11 had a operation and last week had his 1st game in over 4 months. And South Africa is the best team in the world. We start at 7 years old
Rugby Union is 2 teams of 15 playing 40 minute halves
Rugby League is 2 teams of 13 playing 40 minute halves
Rugby 9s is Nine-A-Side playing 9 minute halves
Rugby 7s is Seven-A-Side playing 7 minute halves
"How do you win?" 🤣🤣🤣
Been playing rugby for 9 years now its great fun lol
Lost two teeth playing rugby at school back in the 90's.
Americans realising they play the under 5yo version of rugby as their national sport (nfl) is my favourite thing 😂
I play ruby for my school, rugby is no game for little boys. You eventually grow to love rugby🏉🇿🇦
BLOCKING is illegal in rugby.
Unless you get injured, you don't feel the pain until the next day.
I do enjoy watching American reaction clips, just to see their faces when they realise there's a world outside their borders and their country isn't the be all.
15 players on each side on the field. 8 Front Row Players and 7 Back Row. Although the Scrumhalf (no9) is the link between front and backrow
Gotta love Rugby 🏉 ❤️🏴
