Not sure when you recorded this but we had the games yesterday and they were the first 2 games of the 2024 season. By all accounts it seemed to of been a hit with a little over 40,000 people in the stadium. The rest of the first round for us in Australia start on Thursday.
The video was recorded a couple weeks ago however there were some issues with uploading it :/ Thanks for watching though! Seemed like a great time in Vegas! Looking forward to the rest of the season.
We call it football or footy here in New South Wales and up in Queensland where the game is played. It very much depends on what state in Australia you go to or are in. For instance in Victoria which is more known for AFL than Rugby League , Australian Rules football is called footy in Victoria and other states of Australia because that’s what the people in these states know as football. Here in NSW we call Rugby Union Rugby because the games are different from each other. I come from the Southern Sydney suburb of Sutherland where the Cronulla Sharks are my team there are 6 teams here three of which played in Las Vegas to open the season 😊. It will be back next year as it’s the first year of a five year deal there are teams interested already in doing the Las Vegas trip next season
Also, here in QLD, rugby league or NRL is generally played in state schools - or government run. Rugby union is generally a private school sport. AFL isn’t super huge like the NRL is here. I’m from mascot originally which is in south Sydney so the Rabbitohs are my team
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 for real, dude , what is it called then when a league player runs full tilt, and gets tackled, our players make up to 40 tackles a game, and AFL , 5 maybe , your AFL players cannot hack the physicality of our game , i know, i have been taking footy clubs for years and teaching how to tackle properly, they cannot take the hits nor can they handle the endurance side @@Sub0x-x40
NRL is waaay more harder on the body as far as physical contact goes comapred to AFL, Aussie Rules is definitely more cardiovascular heavy tho. But comparing in NRL where you tackle for 90% verses AFL where your passing taking kicks, marks most the game its no comparison
From Wiki: The term "try" comes from "try at goal", signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.
@@israelmccarthy That's not right. In the early days of Rugby, you got no points for touching the ball down in the in-goal area, you got a try for goal - 'When a goal is kicked from a try, only the goal is scored'. In the mid to late 1800s there were a lot of different scoring systems in place though. I think the Northern Union (Rugby League) used 3 points for a try from the start, as that was the official practice in Union at the time. Union and League kept the name "try" for a touchdown in-goal, out of tradition and I suppose because you still got a try for goal, plus points for the "touchdown". Anyway, "try" doesn't mean three - that would be "tri". You could read about the history of Rugby on various Rugby websites. But WIKI is correct anyway, because they would be referencing those official websites. (The references should be listed at the bottom of the WIKI page, if you didn't know that).
@@daveg2104 thanks for saving me the story. Yeah goes back to when you "tried" gaining points by kicking a goal. Interesting concept . Eventually the tries themselves were given a points value
@@israelmccarthyIf you cross the try line and ground the ball this did not score , you would then "try" to score with the conversion. The old 3 point try has nothing to do with tri as in 3.
There've been clubs in the USA and Canada for Rugby League before. I saw some play in 1995 in Baltimore. For some reason League has a long tradition in the Canadian Maritimes. Australian Rules in the USA has chiefly been popular as a slight change of pace among Gaelic football players.
@@emetahava No, sorry. Rugby (union) is the original rugby-type sport and continues the name “rugby”. Rugby League is a late-coming upstart relative to Rugby Union. Use of the term “rugby” for NRL or Rugby League only serves to confuse people who are unaware of the significant differences between the two different (but with some lingering similarities) rugby-type sports. Although I do follow Rugby in preference to Rugby League, I do like your term “Rugby Yawnion”. Certainly there are difficulties with some of the laws and their interpretation in Rugby that slow the game down needlessly (some of which are being addressed as we speak) but for me, I enjoy and appreciate watching the subtleties, technicalities and physical challenges to be found in much of the Rugby Union forwards’ play nearly as much as I enjoy the different skills and speed of the backs’ play. I can understand that for some people those subtleties and technicalities are rather opaque and detract from the spectacle, hence your term “yawnion”.
@@emetahava Applying the generic term Rugby, is being vague and indistinct to both codes. Union and League are both sub genus's of Rugby and each have evolved with different attributes and demands that extends even to physical requirements like height and bulk in order to take advantage of the differences in the rules.
If you wanna see the highlights of the Best of the Super League (European Rugby League ) and the NRL. Look up the 2024 World Club Challenge. That happened Between Wigan Warriors( My home town team) and the Penrith Panthers.
A drop kick is way harder than a normal kick. The reason it's only worth 1 point is because it can be taken at any time during the game whereas the Conversion(2 points) is only after a Try or when a Penalty is awarded. Also there is no other kick that can score points. It's not like the AFL where you can just kick it normally through the posts.
You're right it's much harder. The real reason it is only worth 1 point, though, is because the rules designers wanted to reduce the focus on field goals and increase the focus on trys (because they were the best part!) Back in the 50s/60s, there was unlimited tackles, field goals were worth 2 points and tries worth 3 -- so the best play was always running from dummy-half until in range, then go for a drop-goal. Later they also increased the value of a try from 3 to 4 for similar reasons.
@@markarnold6184 You're right, we basically said the same thing except I was explaining it in the way Menke asked the question, and also relating it to AFL because he knows that more. As I said if(when) it was worth more than 1 point they'd be snapping them every set they get in range because they can be taken at any time during a game and don't need a Try(like a conversion). Your explanation adds a lot more historical knowledge though which is interesting and good to know 👍 I guess I should have added that even though they are a lot harder than a normal kick, they are obviously easier than scoring a Try, and more points would alter the balance of the game. As it did back then.
In league u get a set of six, so 99% of the players tackling hard, hearing 2 bodies colliding at a live game is brilliant as it echos all over the stadium. In Afl they run around & scrap a bit more but they don't tackle as much
AFL is harder cardio wise. NRL is harder physically. Although AFL still requires lots of physicality and NRL still requires lots of cardio. So at the end of the day it’s just whatever sport you prefer to play lol
You could argue AFL requires more fitness, you could say it's more skillful in certain areas, you could even argue it's more popular because it's pretty close, but no one is trying to argue it's tougher. Not even die hard AFL fans.
The NFL has been coming to England for quite some time now. If I remember properly they used to play in different stadiums, but now they only do it in London. Don't quote me on that, but they definitely go to London. More and more people on UA-cam are reacting to it, more people getting into it and people wanting to watch it in person. I'm just abit confused why not the British, unless we turned it down for some strange reason (maybe because NRL sounds like NFL to ease more people into the sport?). But with NRL they might get the Haka with it being international if this match goes well and other teams are asked, I wonder what Americans will think of that.
I think they equal in the area of toughness, however I don’t think Rugby League players would be willing to take Ballerina Dancing lessons to play AFL 😂😂opps most likely poked the bear 😮
@@oneboot1 🤣sorry typo poked the bear, the bear meaning AFL supporters, I’m a Queenslander I love both sports, but the Mexicans “Victorians” are easily offended if you knock their game. You can tell I’m a Queenslander I can’t even bloody spell 😒
Menke hello I am from Sydney Australia. I want to explain Rugby is Rugby Union 15 man game, Rugby League is 13 man game. NRL if name of a League. Both Rugby League and Australian Rules Football are tough. AFL is name of a League. The 4 Codes of Football in Australia are: Soccer Football, Rugby League Football, Rugby Union Football and Aussie Rules Football. In the UK in 1895 was when Rugby League was born.
@@emetahavaSee my other (earlier) reply above. The term “rugby” correctly ONLY refers to Rugby Union. The term “rugby” should NOT be used to refer to that other rugby-type sport. It grates when AFL followers and other foreigners (Mexicans?) mistakenly refer to the sport of Rugby League as “rugby”. Rugby League is a different sport to Rugby Union.
AFL players are fitter than league players, but league players are bigger, stronger and NRL is way more brutal than AFL. For one simple fact, NRL is stacked with Polynesian players. we are talking fit, 6 foot plus, 100 kg plus players that would absolutely lay out AFL players.
More Aussies watch AFL but NRL is my game, with another Aussie I came close to getting into fight because I thought the National Rugby League was a better game. I found out that day those AFL fans are really serious.
Funny the us advertised it as Major League Rugby the MLR will be thanking you for the publicity + alot of kiwis and Ozey would have been watching the NASCAR series because SGV shane van Gisbergen was racing in Vegas on the same day but i do like NRL to so Up The Wahs
I’ve played both AFL and NRL extensively AFL is moderately aerobic but has nowhere near the physicality of NRL. Put a marathon runner into a boxing ring for three rounds and you’ll see what I mean as an analogy. When I say “moderately” aerobic, I’m not kidding. On television it looks like every player is moving, but in reality if you’re playing in the backs, you may not move to any great degree for sometime as the ball travels along way from you. It’s deceiving. Quite frankly i’ve grown away from the sport. I find it boring, tedious, and a little effeminate. Rugby league has evolved tremendously in the last 25 years through a combination of rule changes and the physical dimensions and skill sets of the players. Just about any rugby league player would make a pro team in the AFL however, I doubt any AFL player would cut the mustard in NRL. The AFL fanboys will be outraged over this, but I’m sorry, the truth often hurts and doesn’t care about your feelings. You might find it easier to understand the AFL because there are a few rules which means there are a few consequences when you fumble. Don’t be deceived by that anyone who can kick a ball in a backyard can play that game
You mean the NFL shouldn't call it a Touchdown, as you don't touch it down in NFL. Its called a Try in RL as when you score you get a "try at Goal" which is the kick after.
In NFL to score u try to cross the endzone to get a Touchdown In NFL to score U must get a touchdown to score a Try.😂 NFL a game of chess between the two coach. NRL is chockfighting with human😉 And the only thing they have in common is the rigg games that ref fav one side! Fact. Why I start to hate NRL. Even the video ref cheat. NRL old school was d best.

Here is the problem with the idea of the AFL playing in the US, where are you going to play it??

We do have cricket grounds and even places where clubs play Australian football, but no provision for spectators to do anything but stand in the vicinity.
The reason its called a try is because back in the day a try was worth 3 points hense try. But they changed it a loooooong time ago but the same stuck.
At one time I thought that, because it had been 3 points for a long time, and I thought it was funny (looong time ago -- now i feel so old) when they made it 4 shortly before I first played, and later in Union, 5.

@@MenkeYTBecause originally touching the ball down was required to score. American and Canadian football, as well as Union and League, are all types of rugby, after all. However, in 1880 it became possible to touch the ball down after it became dead, which in most cases was a trivial requirement; it made a difference only when time ran out for a half before the ball could be brought to the spot and touched down, so eventually the requirement was eliminated.

Endurance is the big difference between NRL and NFL. Both are tough, both have talented athletes, but the fitness of league players, is far superior.
Russell is one of the owners of the Rabbitohs, largely why he is doing the promo
Rather than ask why a rugby try isn't called a touchdown, we could ask why an American football score is.
Id like to see NFL players do 2 half's rounds of 40min game with no stoppage, time out or changing from offensive to defensive team.
