No football is rugby with padding because rugby was invented hundreds of years before American football 🙂😎 American football is like rugby's gay brother 😎😄
true😂asf
This should have way more likes
@@kianmorgan1213 If you play and think Rugbys "lit" your comps too soft 😂
American football is actually a descendant of rugby, an Americanized version of Rugby.
@@kianmorgan1213 what position, im 3
"This sport should be as popular as NFL"
I think you need to check just how many great nations play rugby.
They're so isolated, you'd be excused for pitying them. I don't though lol
@petnzme01 although the American national teams, especially Women and 7’s are really improving.
Football (soccer): 90 mins of guys pretending to be hurt
Rugby: 80 mins of guys pretending they aren't hurt
How can you say that..that is just ignorant bullshit...its 20mins of ..owwch my heel has been clipped...or ...ohhh..ive just been shouldered off the ball...fall down ..roll about in pain...as opposed to a big fkn 17st samoan running full on and hitting you full blast? Typically there is no problem..in fact, they get up and engage the game instantly...no pro american player could get insurance to play rugby...
@@joehalbop1928 im so confused, are you defending the sport soccer, rugby or american football
Sorry for my confusing wording. Basically saying that soccer players are prima donnas...American footballl players wear armour and rugby players are hard as stone ...
Rugby a Game of Hooligans played by gentlemen and Football a Game of Gentlemen played by hooligans. I say this as a fan of both and English! ;)
@@lordomacron3719 Dont know how you came up with this stupid sounbite. Do you think this as clever...its not unkess you think so...keep your illiteration in your head thanks...
The nfl is a great business, rugby is a great sport
Hence why nobody outside of America plays American football
The helmets aren’t helmets there caps to protect their ears
@half a rasher raytown clear u have no clue about rugby XDD
@half a rasher raytown rugby players get paid too much? Haha your having a right laugh, champs don't get paid enough.
half a rasher raytown bet u are the gay who plays e sports or golf
Its Called a Scrum Cap and at 6.39 thats the South African team but any S.A peeps here😁
Thank you
I thought it was called headgear I’ve never heard people say scrum cap
Caleb Vermaak fellow South African here
Ja boet
Caleb Vermaak fellow south african here boytjies
"Yall niggaz strong as hell, got crackhead strength" 😂😂😂 its funny and true 😆
Not true😂 You get banned for 4 years if you test positive for any drug related substances 🤐
Barend De klerk u got the social iq of a rock
@@adr3510 goddammit you straight roasted him there. Lmao
Bonga Nobokwana damn straight
A couple basic things to know: they can only throw straight to their side or backwards , kick can go forward , play dosent stop after tackle they just continue , the ‘touchdown’ is called a try and is worth 5 points, after every try you get a conversion worth 2 points which is basically like a football free kick to kick it between the posts for additional points.
if you score the try between the posts it makes it easier for the conversion as the conversion is taken in line from where the try was made (which is why they try to go that way when possible )
A Aa different rules in rugby league,Similar but when tackled you play the ball and you only get 4 points a try and 2 for the conversion
ALfieB gaming union > league, sorry mate
Google User league be up here
Union be down here, it’s shit
@@mrwhoannon300 union takes a ton of time to play
@@mrwhoannon300 Union is more like "soccer" with the amount of kicking compared to league?
That 'helmet' is called a scrum cap and has a thin layer of padding and is more to protect his ears during scrums and rucks and a bit of comfort during the scrum
headgear
It's meant to protect the head not ears in scrums
It supposed to prevent coliflower ears
@@benyates4228 you are right it does protect the head but from experience it's mainly to protect your ears bud
Sometimes wrap tape around the head and over the ears helps from ripping ears.
I live in Rugby, the town the sport was invented
..and the world won't thank your ancestors enough for inventing such a great sport
@@tortellinobolognese9415 suc
It’s definitely not American football, rugby flows. No breaks to talk about what we’re going to do next.
I’ve never come across racism in rugby banter,yes.
These guy are warriors and know pain. They’re also team players who will stand with their brothers.
What’s with the scrubs man I thought you were going to give a medical viewpoint;)
yes sir....rugby is the ultimate team sport, and your fellow team mates are really truly like brothers...there also isa lot of drinking after the games both teams together if its a local game
Bro the small guys on the field would average around 90 kgs + just saying .
Nathan smale more like 85+ kg on average.
Aprox 200lbs
@@DJ-ce3hq 85kgs for the smallest of the small, but the average weight of a pro rugby player nowadays is just shy of 98kg. That figure is obviously skewed by giant fowards, but backs are considerably heavier now as well.
More like 78kg plus especially the NZ based teams
Dylan Woollaston yeah nah Aaron smiths 85 kgs Crudens 84kgs there might be smaller not sure in union . But the Nrl Luke Kerry’s 82kgs he’s the smallest in the whole competition .
You mentioned the scariest being fast big men, check out Jonah Lomu, 6ft 5, 250lb man running 100m in 10.8 seconds, total devastation.
Unfortunately he had a kidney transplant in 2004 and passed away of a heart attack due to kidney complications in 2015
Aaron Clair one of the worst losses, if not the worst loss, the rugby world’s seen
The greatest
I remember the game against England in the World Cup. He literally run over Mike Catt. Sheer class.
he was a bulldozer the way he ran over 3 England players, not to mention when he was young playing rugby he looked like a full grown bulky adult
I know nothing about rugby, I'm just not into it. Even I know Jonah Lomu was a legend.
Faf de Klerk... The Giant Slayer... All I gotta say....
Watch it and post a reaction... please (thumbs up if you agree)
Bro that man and schalk burger
WOW!!!!!! !!!
U guys from s.a to?
@@tristanjames_05 Haha no im actually from spain.
O ok ..but that's facts haha
@@tristanjames_05 Hahah yea it's a bit different like
There's 2 games here. Rugby Union and Rugby League. Similar but quite different.
Yeah like coke and pepsi.haahaa
a bit like US football and Canadian football (Grid Iron)
They're different like boxing and kick boxing. Yes the goal is to get the ball to the other side but very different rules
This is a relavent observation, because your compilation is a mixture of the two codes!
Yep👍🏼
When he said African strength and that was an South African team, coincidentally 😂
Yes, and he said they've Africans over there. Uhm, yes, that was a South African team. Hehe.
He said Rugby is nearly as famous as AFL lol... Rugby has been around alot longer, played by lots of nations and is an Olympic sport lol..
Please forgive his ignorance. Most Americans know little about what happens outside their boarders. Most of them believe that their World Series is bigger than FIFA World Cup.
I am me and you are you
joking?
Football is much more famous has a lot more money in it
@@ndinalongxangane6705 Bro what? Football is no where near as famous as rugby. I mean for one, rugby is an international sport and has a world cup that actually has more than two countries competing in it lol. And I'm pretty sure that they probably don't make as much money as the French rugby bros do. They be making buckets bro
@@brokenbrastraps go see my first comment
We used to play a game at school here in Ireland where everyone tackled the ball carrier. There was no scoring system. Just fighting for the ball. It was called “Murderball”.
Just saying New Zealand rugby’s team is the best.
In nz it was called scragg
In the US we called it "kill the man with the ball"
thats just part of being a 13 14 year old boy, we did that in here in denmark as well
Bulldog.
dude go look for the youtube video about a player by the name of Faf De Klerk... watch a small guy absolutely cut massive guys in half
No - look up - Brian 'the chiropractor' Lima - go straight to the best.
Legend
British Bulldog (a game played in schools in Britain from the ages of probably around 6 or 7 although "officially banned" in schools) prepares us for the physicality of rugby... we would play Bulldogs in any given field large enough or even as in my primary school... on the concrete playground until our teachers come break us up... that and "join the crew" were our pastimes during school... best times of my life!!
I'm 40，used to play this when we were young,in Kenya . Good memories
@@bantuvoicemuchaikinuthia2536 We played it in South Africa as well, but we called it 'open gates'
I love how you say it "looks fun!"
When a 6'6, 280lb guy that runs the 100 in 11 seconds is coming at you.
It's work!
Kinda pissed me of how he called it a helmet but yk he never played iy
yeah bro i was like dude it's head gear
@@eazedoubleu1910 I don't even know what part you guys are on about but the correct term i think is scrum hat/cap
@@enty2613 how old are you bro? Coz we used to call them head gear not scrum cap
Eaze DoubleU I would say it’s probably either or
Eaze DoubleU nah g it’s scrum cap
I’m from New Zealand which has the best rugby team in the world the “All Blacks” I have been playing rugby since I was 6. Good video bro keep it up my g
Its Fidzgee yeah you can’t say that anymore, South Africa 🇿🇦 is coming for ya.🔥🔥
SandileBM78 G Wales🏴
SandileBM78 G haha south africa lost
SandileBM78 G along with australia
Hunter Maxwell but what happened with Wales 🏴
Jonah Lomu !!! The god of speed !! RIP Jonah
These guys would weigh way twice you, one full proper tackle and you'll be at the E.D bro !!
Okioki i runga i te rangimarie Jonah!
He called it a touchdown. ITS A TRY!!!
Give the yank a break 😂
Same difference
@half a rasher raytown I'm not English.
The ‘helmets’ that they’re wearing are called scrum caps which stop the players from getting cauliflower ears during a scrum
rugbys real super star is the 1 and only JONAH LOMU R.I.P
The “Helmets” are called scrum caps and protect your ears from cauliflower ears (google it)
there called head gear idiot
@@jamesmulholland2947 James?
James Mulholland no there called scrum caps
James Mulholland yeah they are head gear
Their scum caps and hear gears. Both different words but same meaning
Watch the extended highlights of the recent 6 Nations game between England and Scotland. This is an old rivalry and is played for the Calcutta Cup. The end score was a draw! It has been hailed as one of the best games in recent history!
@Mystic gamer That's why World rugby are changing the Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere seasons to coincide in future years.
Southern hemisphere teams have had a very long, drawn out season playing club, super rugby, npc, 4 nations, bledisloe, International matches then finally a European tour where they play all of the six nations.
The fact 6 nation teams in the midst of a season at arguably their peak can only just sneak out a single win at home against a battered, well travelled team at the end of a drawn out hard fought season with the odd injury casualty this long of a season dictates only further proves the disparity, laughable so..
It's not uncommon for NZ to drop a few games against leading teams trialling combos and tactics in the year prior to a world cup.
NH teams can give themselves a pat on the back for a single win and focus on making it out of their pools first come world cup..
NZ vs Ireland or South Africa final. Nz taking the cup home again
I have watched a few videos about Americans reaction to rugby as I use to play (only AMATEUR)
and there are two reason they still try and stop someone even if they are behind the tryline.
1 if you tackle someone behind the tryline and stop them from touching the ball onto the ground it is not a try.
2 after the try you are awarded a "conversion" kick at goal. The kick is taken from a point in line with where the ball was grounded for the try, as near or as far from the goal-line as the kicker desires. the ball is NOT place in the center.
the helmets they wear are only made of fabric some player wear them to protect their ears.
" He's got crack head strength!!! " That one had me laughing!
Hands-down my all-time favorite sport to watch and play.
Hey there Check out Faf de Klerk from South Africa, they call him the "giant slayer" the smallest guy on the field tackling the biggest
That's another breed of South African Pitbull right there. Faf is on some other level of game play
The video won't show you all the times faffy gets bumped like a child, but ya still gotta love the guy, he enjoys the shit out of it.
This is played at club and international level by most countries in the world.
New Zealand are raining world champions.
Alot of tackles your watching are possibly illegal not to mention dangerous it's a game that is strictly controlled.
damn straight i noticed loads of high tackles
I was about to comment the same thing, although I would love to see his reaction to rugby tackles from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
reigned
yeah I don't really find shirty high and lifting tackles that interesting...good clean big hits are more highlight reel since they harder to execute
It's refreshing to hear am American say what Rugby fan have been saying for years to NFL fans who say the NFL Players hit harder so need the padding.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to make you want to watch more games, I hope you enjoy them as much as this video.
Scrum caps protect the ears from developing cauliflower ears and they are mostly worn by forwards but it’s not uncommon for backs to wear them as well
The helmet is a scrum cap! All it does is protect your head during scrums, they are usually made out of some plastic fabric thing
Wrong it's to prevent colliflower ears
This is a real man's game ...no padding no cages around their heads ... N towels tucked in there shart.s .. rugby is a man's game ..🏉🏉🏉🏉
Dude you are watching both sides of rugby. 1 is RUGBY UNION and the second is RUGBY LEAGUE (which is slightly closer to gridiron)
U said respect to the guy who tried to tackle after the "touchdown" cos he didnt need to do that but since a "touchdown" (try) actually means touching the ball down he could still prevent the it
I hope he knows there are 2 different types of rugby. League and union
League isn’t a sport
@@SR-wg1bb Ha! Rugby Yawnian is boring as hell
woodencreatures league literally is just 5 tackles with a. 50/50 cross kick at the end of it yawn. Rugby union is way more popular around the world so not many people agree with you sorry bud
The 'helmet' is called a scrum cap :) they protect the players ears from turning inside out or stopping them to get cauliflower ears. If you don't know what that is, search it up. It's pretty nasty hehe. Great video. i live in England and it's very popular here. I personally play rugby and it's very entertaining to watch people react for the first time. Keep it up
We have a similiar game called bull rush or red Rover we played at school. Last person standing had to try make it to the other side. No rules
In England we played bulldog. One person starts in the middle of the field and has to tackle and take people down as they run across the field. Anyone who gets taken down has to also tackle until no one is left running. The last person to get taken down is the winner. Was fun as fuck.
@@TJE.13 the only difference I think is that with yours the winner just wins.
It’s called bulldog full stop
@@evoxrs8889 Come to Gloucestershire and see them ruck.
Jeff Wagner In New Zealand we call it bull rush.
react to the tuilagi brothers they are one of the most famous brothers to play rugby and theirs about 6 of them
Dirtiest players in rugby.
Sledger it’s rugby bro
Your wrong
@@3storiesUp it's rugby🤦🏾♂️ I wouldn't say they're dirty players tho
Barrett brothers better
Believe it or not rugby unions rules r softer than they were originally
These boys play like that for 40 minutes strait first half 15 minutes half time then 40 minutes second half. No running on and off like American football.First time watching you GREAT TO WATCH
React to rugby biggest hits til i collapse. Seriously good
Now I wanna see you reacting to soccer LOL
React Brasil please don’t call it soccer🤢
@@jacobmoore1640 I don't like to call it soccer too, but he's American. I just respect the way he knows the sport
nah no puzzy sports on this channel
@@MorenoWanderley No American should respect a sport that is much older Football is Football Rugby is Rugby and American Football is a cheap copy Americans need to no USA is not always the best baseball is also a copy of much older game called Rounders
The term Soccer comes from Socker. Socker was the British nickname for association football, people either referred to it as Socker or football for short, Americans did the same with American Football and just called it Football for short like we did with association football. The term Socker or soccer to describe the game is older than the use of the term football to describe it as football as we know it today (association football) is not the same as football, it’s what’s known as a code of football, like rugby is a code of football, there are many codes of football. American Football is a code of football, it took its origins from the rugby code though not the association football code, as did rugby league, you can throw Canadian football in there, Aussie rules football in there, Gaelic football too.
I’ve been playing rugby dice I was 8 it’s the best sport
What a fine and respectful man this guy is. Come to England. We like people with your attitude. Have yourself a splendid day, Sir
Heavy and fast, you need to watch Jonah lomu. He was a 250lb rugby player that could run a 10s 100m, man was a beast
Big dudes: no one can take me down
*Tuilagi’s enters the chat*
Big dudes : 😳
Tuilagi’s: hey
*bid dudes have left the chat*
Yeah, I was wondering how he' would have reacted facing Jona Lomu (miss you Jona!)
Where all my south African people at🤣🇿🇦❤
Here bro
We are the Champions of the World !! 🇿🇦
I think I'm the only Argentine who watches your videos xd
I only came here to see if any of my cousins are on the video 🤣
In Rugby pads are optional, we have the choice of no pads or half an inch of padding that's just pretty much foam, so in reality all it did was make you sweat more 😂
I play rugby, it's one of my favorite sports though. I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. Respect to those who show respect to rugby
American "Football" is copied from Rugby.
They also bout twice the size of NFL players 😂
Nah NFL players are monsters
Nah
Definitely not.
Same height on average, and they weigh 8kg less on average
NFL players run on steroids.
lmao yall got crackhead strength, that line cracked me up
Comming from south africa growing up playing rugby since 5 years old .
You dont understand the intensity until you actually play it yourself .
Beast go joun club in US
We were taught in school to go for the legs,. But if you do that at top level, they are quite capable of passing the ball while going down. Tacklers go for the body to try to wrap up both man and ball, maybe even make them drop it forwards (a knock-on and therefore a scrum with turnover of the ball).
He called Falou slow.
Is anyone else watching in 2019 and are sad Falou’s gone
no
Gonna miss him! Other countries glad he gone- now Aussies weak #rwc2019
Just a money lusting mercenary who couldnt jump high enough to make the AFL despite being their media bum boy.....goes missing in big games especially on defence at fullback....flys his christian flag like he is better than anyone else(some christian)... and unlike other Christians in the game he mixes religion with sport with ulterior motives to attract attention to himself as a crusader for his congregation.....then sues and pleas for money support from other Christians to fund his crusade...just like the false preachers do to their congregation except folau is using the Christian world...has always been over-paid and over-rated in 3 codes and tell me,who would jeopardise a 4 year contract worth 4 millions dollars then sue for 10 million,greedy cunning bastards,I say!
W3ebl13 falou is a dick
nope
Bruh lemme tell you sumthing. The moment you go outta that damn field. That so called "BEAST MODE"..... it better come out because this game ain't one of those games you play around with
Take it from a guy who plays the damn game
OwO im playing rugby as a girl.💕Best sport
You go girl!!!
Womens rugby is a great team sport!
More power to ya!!
Shame it doesn't get the publicity of footy.
Breath-taking reaction to the last segment says it all..
Stiff arm to the throat.. "oooooo:
Next second..bang.." o "
The rugby helmet is primarily to prevent cauliflower ear, which is a common and unsightly affliction caused by rough handling around the head in scrums, rucks and mauls. It also gives a limited amount of protection against head injury. Sometimes you will see props and forwards wearing a narrow tight head band wrapped around the head and over the ears instead. I think that in the early days of American football the players wore something similar but now replaced by a metal helmet.
Check out - AFL greatest hits, and greatest marks, the most underrated sport in the world.
please dont

Do a reaction to the best rugby player in the world 'Jonah Lomu'
YES ❤️
Yes💓
Watch the fastest rugby player Carlin isle
Baker is faster
Not going to read through the hundreds of comments to see if someone else has posted these three major differences between US football & Rugby League.
1. A forward pass is a no no. Not even slightly forward.
2. You can only tackle the man with the ball. This business of tackling players without the ball is absolutely not on.
3. In order to score a "try" [touchdown] the player must have control of the ball & the ball must actually touch the ground all at the same time. All three, ground, ball & player must be in contact with each other in order for it to be a "try". All of this must be done between the end of the playing field & and the 'dead ball' line, a short distance beyond.
There are many other differences of course, but these three stood out in your video.
you were watching rugby union on the video, League is different. for me union is the better game.
My sister married a Rugby player, that was one hell of a wedding, Rugby players are a special breed, gentle giants off the field but man they can drink!
Rugby is much more popular around the world than the NFL
But Rugby is gaining popularity in the USA
Yeah, American Football isn’t even in the Top 10 most popular sports, but when rugby exists that’s not surprising, why would you watch NFL when you could watch Rugby, the game American Football originates from, it’s a no brainer, lol
Watch David and Goliath rugby moments bro
React to Faf de Klerk he’s insane
Dont forget just one of those rugby guys could drink an entire NFL team under the table
Another thing you gotta remember about Rugby is there is non of that stoppage time that you get in American football... You know in American football how the stop the game every 10 seconds? Nope... In rugby you get one half time of fifteen minutes and then you're straight back into it.
So it's like American Football but with no pads and you're running consistently for 80 minutes... You have to basically be a body builder and a marathon runner at the same time.
Rugby is far superior to American football the nfl games average about 12 minutes of actual play how boring and they wear a suit of armour the whole concept is gash
Way too many break downs and stoppages. I wish NFL could have a continuous flow like rugby does. Pick up and play after a player gets knocked down instead of resetting after every tackle made
Khanyiso Booi exactly it’s a very slow paced game
True that nfl boring as shit
Only people from NZ can like this comment 🇳🇿
Swayzetrain Bubbles 😂
@Swayzetrain Bubbles mate, yr dreaming
Then fuck off bro 😂😂
No this isn't basically football. Football is just a btec rugby
We used to play basketball rugby in school. We called the game riots, because of we always got into trouble for it. There was at least 5 injuries per game, best game I ever played
Defo need to watch Christian wade highlights and watch his transition to the NFL, you’ll see how elite all around rugby players are
6:40 yall see the score?! SA was leading so the auzzies be playing dirty man😂😂😂😂eh thats how they do i guess
There are no "plays" in rugby. You learn the rules, you make it up as you go along. You "play" the game in front of you... not from a book of set moves.
The name is "rugby football"... you kick the ball as often as you like.
You can only pass backward.
The ball must touch the ground to score a try. So tackling after the try line is allowed.
The helmets are cloth and are there to stop their ears getting torn off.
Some of those men are 6ft8 and 20+ stone running 11s 100m, multiple times, in 80 minute games (80 play time with the clock stopped between fouls, penalties and injuries)
Excellent synopsis.
There are set plays. Crossed runs, overlaps, missing players in the back line. All plays, pre planned, and called by the drum half. You learn that playing schoolboy rugby...
@@fredyscanlan I played school rugby, district rugby, including 1999 champions, college rugby and RAF rugby.... there were no "plays". There was strategy and playing the field as it came to you. There were certain moves you could employ. But they weren't "plays" they were techniques of how to play the game.
antony aiken ok so in my school we had a play called pigdog for example. Pigdog works by missing out the inside centre, who would then overlap the outside centre giving us an overload if the opposing centres didn’t follow the overlap. We practised it, along with other plays in training, and used it in games when the scrum half called pigdog out as he pulled the call out of the scrum.
You may not have used set plays but other people have so they are a part of rugby.
antony aiken amd if you’re UK which I’m guessing you are if you’re RAF, and we would both have been at school in the 90’s if you were playing in ‘99. I played 91-95 I think:)
You should watch New Zealand Rugby Team do 'The Haka' before their rugby matches
No Joe - it's shit and gets booed nowadays. Total fucking pantomime that allows the 'humble' All Blacks an unfair psychological advantage. It is supposed to be the AB's issuing a challenge - but if any nation confronts the challenge - they are fined!!! One rule for the All Blacks another for the rest of the world. Go to Twickenham and see the Haka quite rightly drowned out by Swing Low. It's only popular because Buck Shelford brought it back in the 87 WC.
Joe Lucas
Depends if you like watching a bunch of big men prance around like dickheads and cry and complain to the IRB if everyone doesn’t watch in awe and clap after.
“IF EVERYONE DOESNT WATCH MY HAKA I’M GOING TO SCREAM AND SCREAM UNTIL IM SICK!!”
Fuck off, you’re boring.
@Dr Downtime No mate you're wrong. It was reinvented by Shelford at the 87 WC. It's got nothing to do with rugby. It has everything to do with Maori culture. Do it on your own soil where you have YOUR CULTURE. We're not interested in your pantomime. We drown it out at Twickenham. That's our response to your challenge which the IRB have banned anyone from facing. One rule for the Kiwis eh?
@Dr Downtime - yawn. You do not know the game sir. You are detached and in the minority. Disillusioned at best methinks. Thank you for the laugh though.
@Dr Downtime YAAAAAAWN. Bye. Take off your green wellies son and learn the game. Seen your type before. Do not have a clue. Even the All blacks don't want to perform it - they wanted to bin it themselves last year. But you would not know that not being a rugby man eh? Try playing the game sunshine. Get educated.
I'm English and members of my family have been involved in rugby union, rugby league and now American football. We call the game where you hit a ball with a stick rounders and girls play it. My grandson plays American football for an academy near London and will soon be going to America to study and play your football, it's so exciting and he was worried I would miss him too much but I just want him to go out and do stuff. If you think this is rough you should watch rugby league, it's mainly played in the north and it's really dirty. Just remember at the end of the day they all have a shower and all have a drink together. It's the game.
You'll notice that they have to ground the ball to score which is why they fight all the way to the in-goal area. Also the conversion kick after the score is taken from a point in line with the grounding so it can be in front of the posts or over by the sidelines.
Watch some of the kicking; penalties, conversion and drop goals in addition to the grubber kick you saw that surprised you.
It was good to see that you appreciated the skill, speed and power.
Six nations is the best tournaments! Look up the All Blacks... Peace ✌️
nah bro the fact he said “ rugby is basically american football without pads “ no mate it isn’t lol , there’s much difference lmao stoopid
No one likes rugby in England lol
Wetty are taking the piss😂
You find a lot of people do so... Just because you don't like it does not automatically mean everyone dislikes it
Well you probably dont know like.. anyone ?
Well. I do
actually millions of people play and watch rugby in England and England second best team in world after New zealand
Dude! There’s something called the cross kick. Check that move out.
Remember, when they are tackled, the game continues, it doesn't stop. They have to get as near to the posts as possible, because the 2 points after kick is taken in line with where the try was put down. It's not taken from in front of the posts like NFL
Rugby:
Tackles: below the shoulder and above the knee. Can't dump a player down or shoulder charge,have to go with the tackled player.
Pass: goes laterally and back. Can't pass forward even 5 inches in front of passing player.
Score: Try-grounding the ball with control on or over the try line(5 points)
Conversion-after a successful try you kick the ball from the ground (on a tee) through the goal post(2 points)
Penalty goal kick- same as conversion but earn 3 points.
Dropgoal-drop from hand and kick as it bounces up through the goal post(3 points)
Scrums-8 players(forwards) form a pack(800-1000kg) huddle and contest for the ball pushing with shoulders in contact. Happens a lot when you drop the ball forward or knock on.
Ruck-clearing and protecting the ball after a tackle so play can continue. Shielding the ball from turnovers(steal)
Maul-huddle together protecting the ball and also pushing forward to gain ground while on your feet.
Offload- passing the ball from a tackle while standing or before 3 seconds if you on the ground.
Chip or box kick- kicking the ball forward for you to recover and keep or kicking it for someone else but they have to be behind the kicker before he kicks it.
And you are not allowed to block players from tackling the ball carrier,if you are carrying the ball prepare yourself to be tackled.
These a few basic methods used in rugby. Cheers
I play rugby and I'm 15,it is extremely fun and Ive played it since I was 4. Try it out
Good to see Americans enjoying the gentleman's sport.
I played for club and school around the time American football was introduced to our Tv's. Loved it!
Pick a classic match to watch.
For total carnage, look up the Tuilangi brothers (I think that's how you spell it) they are brutal.
Scoring in Rugby Union:
Try (cross the try line and place the ball down): 5 points
Conversion (place kick after a try, taken in line with where the try was scored, ball must go between the uprights and over the cross bar): 2 points
Penalty (like a conversion but taken from where the infringement happened): 3 points
Drop Goal (drop kick in open play): 3 points.
Correction.. Rugby is more popular than nfl
best thing of all about rugby is, you know your team is good if you score a try because of plenty of phases of passing backwards (which is the only way you're allowed to pass)
whereas in football you can literally just throw the bal to your teammate who's standing by the touchdown line.
The videos show both Rugby Union (15 man a team) and Rugby League (13 man a team) and different rules and plays. Union has line outs, mauls and scrums. League has scrums and tackling.
They have different scoring system etc. Both tough games.
Im American and I play rugby it’s actually getting very popular and at some point we will be the best at it
In Footy, It's called a try not a "touchdown"
The reason they dive into the end zone is because their point after kick is taken from a point inline with where the ball is " downed " in the end zone . You'll see a guy cross into the end zone and turn to try and get lined up with the goal posts before downing the ball. The play ends when the ball is downed , not when it crosses the goal line. The " in-your-face " play is when you cross the goal line untouched and place the ball dead center in the end zone. You can still lose the ball if you don't down it and the defenders can run it back out again if they still it from you.
