- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This All Blacks game really painted a picture of how exciting rugby can be here in New Zealand! As an American who has never seen rugby in my life, I did leave having...quite a few questions...
We made the big decision a few years ago to move to New Zealand for a bit of adventure and to get away from the city, so if you are thinking about visiting or moving here, this is the channel for you! It's chock full of tips, trick, information and stories of my experiences to help you in your process.
Orrrrr maybe you're a Kiwi already living here and want to hear my cheeky opinions? I can help you with that too=)
I'm really so glad you're here WELCOME and thank you so much for watching.

The All Blacks get their name from a misprint in a newspaper almost a century ago and also, obviously from the fact that they have always worn a black uniform. The misprint was in a British newspaper where the text was supposed to be that they had played like "all backs"-basically lots of running like backs are supposed to do-but what was actually printed was "all blacks" and the name stuck.
My house was the original farmhouse owned by Jimmy Hunter, who was First-five on the 1905 tour. He scored 44 tires in 22 games.
Ok, rugby is insane oh my God! That is the first time I have viewed it, a giant free-for-all. Very different from American football that's for sure, but crazy fun to watch.🎉
forget your game... watch 2 things from now on OK... The Bledisloe Cup which you just saw and AFL for GOD's sake... let me know how you go!!!
That game was 23 years ago and I still watch it once every couple of years. A classic match.
Christian Cullen! An absolute *legend* of a fullback!
A super-fast runner and he could cut the opposing backline to ribbons with his sidestep and swerve.
One thing to note we loveeee beating the Aussies 😅😅 little sibling rivalry,
and cool i took a day off work and got suggested your channel via algorithm, gonna watch before Wednesday on netflix lol
Do a reaction to the final of the 2021 Women's rugby world cup. NZ vs England at Eden Park in Auckland. You will be impressed!
Or the Black Fern's/France semi final of the same tournament two brilliant game's
Ball at bottom of goal posts is generally a lot harder.
You can also score points by kicking the ball through the posts above the horizontal, you can do this anytime and it’s called a drop goal.
A conversion, a kick over the posts due to a try is worth 2 points.
A drop goal is where you kick the ball right after it’s been dropped on the ground for that purpose.
Omg,just discovered your channel. This game brings back amazing memories for me. I'm getting excited just watching the highlights, lol. You've made my day.
The goal posts take up some of the goal due to their placement. So placing the ball on the ground against the post outside the goal area is considered a try, it don’t happen often.
The goal posts are for the conversion kicks, done after a try or penalty kicks.
You can also do the drop kick over these posts for points also.
These are the national teams of Australia and New Zealand. Each country has their domestic competitions with many teams. Unlike American football, Rugby is an international sport and national teams play each other.
when they are tackled and go to ground, they have to release the ball, hopefully back on our side, to keep the game moving, they all have their own positions, the guys in that wrestling match are the forwards usually the taller or heavier guys and that wrestling thing is how they restart the play after a fumble, which we usually call a knock on...the lineout is also to restart play after the ball goes out over the sideline. . .when the cross for a try (which is 5 points) they try to touch down as close to the post as they can to make the following conversion kick, easier so they get an extra bonus of 2 points. . .touch to the goal post because the post are in the way crossing the line for a try, you cant physically put your hand through the solid steel post 😅so just touching it is all good
Not many pauses in a good game, high level of fitness, stamina
Offside: (the simplest explanation) When the movement breaks down with a "tackle", and goes to ground in a "ruck", the defending players must remain behind the last of their teammates feet in the ruck. Going around the tangle of bodies to take the ball is a no-no (though forcing your way directly through the middle is allowed, and is why the rucks are so vigorously defended).
Popcorn and rugby? News that’s new one. Normally chips and beers lol
In general the forwards numbers 1-8 do the heavy grafting in the scrums, mauls, rucks and lineouts. Numbers 9 and 10 are link players and playmakers. 12 and 13 (centres) are quick and strong in defence and attack. Numbers 11 and 14 are the wings and they are usually the greyhounds; the real speed boys. Number 15 is the full back; the last line of defence but fast and ready to join the attackers as an extra threat.
Any numbers over 15 you might see have come off the bench as tactical or sometimes injury replacements for the starting fifteen line-up.
Interesting take on what a national team means. Makes me think it's different for America as their "world series" is played amongst themselves, whereas for the rest of the world a world series or world cup is actually a tournament amongst the best teams representing their countries in the world competing against each other. That's the only reason I can think why someone would ask if a national team is the only team to represent their country, as no other country plays touchdown rugby for example a national team is a bit of a foreign concept to americans it seems. Interesting to see America have their own rugby league now, this will be interesting to see how it grows the game in America.
When the Forwards, numbered 1-8 pack down against another team after a stoppage, it’s called a Scrum.
When the player has fallen to the ground with the ball and it’s being contested, it’s called a Ruck.
American football has its roots in rugby.
Anybody can wear a 'scrum cap' but it is usually the big guys; the forwards (1-8). The "sweatbands" are a combination of bandage and tape that reduce damage to the ears, scrum caps also give some protection to the ears and scalp.
In both forms of rugby (union & league) you only score if you physically press the ball down beyond the try line, if it leaves your hand, better luck next time!
You cannot be in front of the ball if your team has possession of it. So if you are in front of your team mate that is carrying, throwing, or kicking the ball you are "off side" so you can't legally play until you get yourself back on side by falling back behind that person.
You can only propel the ball forward by kicking it, you cannot throw the ball forward.
There are positions for each player but when your team has the ball it's everyone's job to help keep that ball going forward (legally). If your defending it's again everyone's job to try to stop the ball.
This was very old footage, in fact some of those players have since past away, all the rest have long since retired.
These are both professional national representative teams, All Blacks representing NZ and the Wallabies representing Aus.
Both NZ & Aus have regional teams who's star players make up the representative teams above.
College football would be high school football and the only people attending those games are families and friends of the players.
University students that play footy generally play for the local regional team if they can get selected, and if good enough could also be an All Black.
As for half time entertainment, it's pretty crap, that's when you visit the toilets and get a pie and some chips and beers for the second half.
Yes the ball can only be passed backwards. They can kick the ball forward to gain ground. When it looked like they were wrestling on the ground after the player with the ball has been tackled its called a mall. The tackled player must release the ball, but the ball must travel backwards. If the ball travels forward from the tackled player or if he drops the ball forward its called a knockon which means there will be a scrum. During the scrum the team that knocks the ball on forfeits the ball to the opposition. The players called the forwards form the scrum. The half back who normally is smaller in stature feeds the ball into the scrum, he might then pass it out to the backs who are usually faster than the forwards. The forwards are normally picked for their strength, heavier in weight but are expected to be mobile as well. You cannot play the ball if your feet are off the ground, that's why it can look messy because the players that are still on their feet are trying to push the opposition off the ball to gain possession of the ball. The backs are expected to have speed, strength and other attributes for the game play. Skilled at kicking, passing the ball accurately while in full flight. There are many other rules and plays to explain but I'm other fans will let you know more about this great game.
Legendary All Blacks team.
This is our national game, against Australia we have held the Bledisloe cup for the last 21 years...the Allblacks can come from all parts of New Zealand and even from our polynesian brothers. Going into this years world cup we are under extreme pressure to do well, injuries and lack of self control can earn yellow (10 minutes off the field or in the sin bin) or red cards (off the field for the whole game). Our female counter parts the Black Ferns are the current world champions, they are awesome.
So for those that doesn't know how Rugby works. Here what it is....
Try= 5 Points
Convertion= 2 extra points, (after a try has been scored)
Penalty Kick= 3 extra points
Drop Goal Kick= (Where a player allows the ball to bounce straight down the ground first before kicking the ball over the goalpost.)
Yellow Card= 10 Minutes in the sinbin
Red Card= in the sinbin for the rest of the match. Miss out on 3 other matches, before they are allowed back in.
New Zealand (All Blacks) Animal symboul is a Kiwi fern
Australia (The Wallabies) Animal symboul is a Kagaroo.
Those 'helmets' are just thin pads worn by the forwards who take part in the scrum (the wrestling thing 🙂) in order to protect their ears from possibly ripping.
When you're tackled and taken down you have to release the ball so that the other team can compete to take it away (turnover). You can defend it by piling up on your side of the ball and creating a ruck to block the other team from taking the ball. If you hold on to it once on the ground it's a foul and the other team gets to kick or throw in for a scrum.
It's not sweatbands. He's taping his ears close to his head so that he doesn't hurt his years when they go into those "pile ups" as you call them which are called scrums, rucks or mauls. Also the only protection they are allowed to have other than mouthguards need to be soft and sown into the garments or the scrumcap (helmet) you saw which is also just soft and mainly protects the years rather than any impacts like an american football helmet.
This is a country versus a country, so the size of the country is immaterial. For example, USA has one National team, but all countries have club (as we call them ) sides from which the best players are picked to make the national team. Also each country might have one or it might have several stadium where they hold their Test matches (as they are called).
The name All Blacks goes back to over a hundred years. A reporter sent a report to his newspaper saying they played like “all backs” and it was misinterpreted as “all blacks”, hence the kit colour. Helmet things are called scrum caps, they are worn to help prevent cauliflower ears (look at some ears) or to stop your ears getting ripped off. Blocking is not allowed and although everyone has a position they all play attack and defence, but you’ll need to see a comprehensive video on the laws etc for that to be explained. Correct, American Football derived from rugby. Touchdown, as you say in AF, does require that to score in rugby. Just two halves of forty minutes each. No half time show although it is creeping into the game sadly in my personal opinion, but each to their own I suppose. Now you’ve got a taste why not try to learn a bit more? There are a lot of good comments here which can tell you more as well.
If you look at the score details on the screen the home side is always given first. This was Australia vs New Zealand (aka All Blacks) so it was played in Australia.
When a player is tackled to the ground the tackler must release the ball carrier and the ball carrier must release the ball. The people on the ground cannot touch the ball until they have regained their feet.
No owners these are national teams that was the coaching team in the box. Kick over bar between posts to score a conversion, penalty or drop kick
You must place the ball down past the goal line but within the goal area. The placement of the ball in relation to the posts determines the angle in which you may kick for a conversion.
1:39 is a tactic they use to instill pure fear into their opponents' hearts, rendering them helpless against the power emanating from this attack.
Hopefully you get the opportunity to watch the ABs play against Ireland in the quarter final of the rugby world cup in the morning
We don't do college teams. Rugby has a club base, kids play in high school then move on to province teams, super rugby, then all blacks. Super rugby and national team are professionals. No forward passes allowed. No 11 Jonah Lomu was a favourite star. You have to control the ball and press it down to try. Wallabies is tha aussi national team. Super rugby has teams from aussi, nz, South Africa, about 16 teams. The silver fern is our logo. No mascots.
Thanks, makes sense as I haven't seen any college rugby team shirts or anything out and about!
@@MorganMarieWolff We, the Kiwi followers of your site DO !!!! expect you to buy and wear the All Black jersey, love. Also your local team is Bay of Plenty and also the Waikato Chiefs.
@@MorganMarieWolff they do have college which we call (varsity) university teams, they play in the local comps like within their region
@@MorganMarieWolff I live near an outlet mall and at the Addidas Outlet, they have some Super rugby team shirts.
If you think we don't do college rugby you have obviously never seen an Auckland Boy's Grammar vs King's College match!
Search up rugby game near me, during winter on a Saturday mostly Sunday sometimes, anywhere in NZ and their will be a game happening all times of the day. Most are free just professional teams you will have to pay.
This is an older game…but rugby is nothing like soccer. Lateral and back are the accepted passes. Chip kicks are used to advance play. Tries (touch downs) must be place into the try zone (end zone) with downward pressure pressure… All Blacks are also referred to as the kiwis. When a player goes down with the ball other players from both sides pile in and contest for both sides. Players numbered 1 to 8 are the Forwards, and the forwards are the guys who contest in the scrum 8 players on 8 players and 9 to 15 are your backs😢
Countries only have one international team, and like American football, there are college leagues, and club leagues. The goal post base is considered part of the goal line, so if you are tackled near the base of the goal post you can place the ball with downward pressure to the base of the post to score a try…. As a New Zealand Born samoan I’ve played through my school years right into adulthood…something about the heavy contact is appealing.
You have yet to see some of the newer outstanding All Black games. The All Blacks are the most winning team in the history of sports.
America has their own league growing as well,( fairly new in comparison)… and had played the All Blacks in Washington DC…ummmm still a huge growing game for the American Eagles.
I predict rugby growing huge and fast in America, because Americans are loving that it is 2 x 40 minute halves, and the game has a constant flow with no downs or time outs, and the lack of pads , and helmets make collisions entertaining.
Unfortunately the game is now professional, so though there are no half time entertainment, and a dozens shows breaking down and analysing the finished game…I’m sure that won’t be too far off…
Great reaction, and you seem to have a good concept of the game for a newbie!
Keep up the great reactions, thoroughly enjoyable!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂
The ball MUST be grounded in the goal area, if it is dropped, no try, if it is passed forward, you lose posession of the ball and a scrum is played.
All Blacks represent ALL of New Zealand, as the Wallabies represent ALL of Australia.
Teams are chosen, selected, by the AB coach and his selectors, from all the regional teams.
Rugby is the main sport of NZ, South Africa, and Wales. most of the world has rugby teams, but NONE have the skills or the win/loss ratio of the AB. Currently, since approx 1900, the ABs have wone slightly over 82% of their games. The most successful sports team in the world.
The Fern is our national emblem for sports people.
Aussie has regional teams as well
Goal posts. A TRY is scored, and then a CONVERSION (Dont ask!!) is made by kicking the ball through the posts, from a point level with where The try was scored.
To score a Try by using the posts mean the ball can be grounded at the FRONT of the post, BUT touch the post and the ground at the same time.
You should watch hardest hits in rugby games it can be brutal
So have you learned any more since you posted this?
I grew up in NZ and never watched rugby till I was maybe 22 yrs.
Takes a while to learn what was going on
A lot of sports have offside; the first offside rule recorded was from Hurling in Cornwall in 1602.
At first I assumed you were talking about the Irish sport lol. Now I'm aware of Cornish Hurling. Cool.
Home stadium for the ABs is Eden Park.
Start playing as kids (5-6) for a local club. Taking it as far as they can or want to. Maybe for their school team (intermediate or college/High school). Finish school. Those who go to Uni, maybe play for their Uni team. Or, if not, then carry on with a club. Going up through the ranks as they improve or whatever.
City level team (Petone, Upper Hutt, Wainuiomata - for the Wellington region, etc). Then provincial (ITM Cup) teams - Wellington Lions, Tasman Makos, and so on.
Then Super Rugby. Best teams of NZ, Aussie, and South Africa.
Then, the best get selected for the national team owned by no one, to play international level.
US college style sport not even remotely a thing here. Hopefully, never will be.
I miss the days of Athletic Park. Bernie's Corner. Allan Hewson's wonderful kick and fist raised to the heavens. The Whetton brothers. Mourie. Mexted.
Zinzan Brooke's drop goal. So many memories over the years.
However, from Sports Explained, there's a video called Rugby explained for Americans. It's about two weeks old, done by an American which is a rather good video.
Gezz you just took me back with those names. Cheers for that
@@Mmothership68 yeah. So many individual greats, but at the same time, realising they were part of a greater whole.
So many great players we've produced over the years. And events/incidents/etc.
@almostyummymummy absolutely. We breed legends here
There is no "home stadium" for the All Blacks, nor South Africa and Australia. The All Blacks can and do play at several stadiums across New Zealand. In other countries there may be a principal stadium such as Twickenham in England and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. In an attempt to promote rugby (and themselves) in the USA the All Blacks have played international matches in the American cities.
Yeah, you have to release the ball on the ground once you're tackled and put to the ground. You can't hold onto it on the ground. You can pick it up again as long as you're not being held. But there must be that initial release. And there are defined positions, which you see in set play (lineouts and scrums)
You've so much to learn...
So much to learn...
I was at this game. 109,000 fans the atmosphere was electric.
This Game was played in Sydney, Which had the Olympics 2000 on it.. with a record attendance crowd of over 104,000 at the stadium.
For a Try to count it has to be in hand and downward pressure to the ground has to be applied in the end zone.
A TRY is TOUCHING the BALL DOWN... over the try line... the American TouchDown comes from that root, even though in NFL you do not have to touch the ball down anymore - just run over the line. The side rule in Rugby of: or press the ball against the goal post, is because sometimes when the piles of bodies are bullding up/ scrums and mauls and so on, the goal posts can actually get in the way of touching the ball down... so just press it against it - instead.
Yeah, if you're in a pile in front of a goalpost, it could be rather awkward or even dangerous if you had to arc your body around in order to touch the ball on the other side of the line, so scoring by touching the ball to the goalpost circumvents that. Also, while the strictness of touching the ball to the ground might perhaps seem like pedantry that would never be relevant in an real game, it's actually not that uncommon for the ball to slip out of people's hands as they get tackled at the last minute as they go over the line, so even though they and the ball are over the line, they don't end up getting the try because they weren't touching the ball when it hit the ground.
There is a saying in the UK. "Football (Soccer) is a game fot Gentlemen played by hooligans. Rugby is a game for hooligans played by Gentlemen". There is far more discipline in Rugby. Players generally never argue with the ref and call him "Sir".
Hot chips, pies, 🌭 and beer are game food
Only allowed to pass backwards, can kick in any direction at any time.
There are positions but they are all involved in attack and defense, you need to learn about line outs, scrums as set piece plays. Also you can score by kicking a penalty, or a drop goal,but try is worth more
Ah, makes sense!
The All Blacks have NZ National emblem the silver fern on their jerseys since1898 and they performed the Haka as they always do before the match starts. Score a try anywhere across the line where the goal posts are situated across the width of the field but then in order to convert the try for more points it then has to be kicked between the goal posts over the top bar and that video did not really show the flow of that as it is just highlights of an international match. The closer the try is made to the goal posts makes it easier for it to be converted or kicked over the goal between the two posts.The silver fern symbol’s association with our national representative sports teams and the armed forces over many years gives it deep emotional resonance for New Zealanders.
These are national teams so yes only one team for this tournament. There other teams for other reason and they all range in size as the matches change in lengths depending on the league.
New Zealand universities do have rugby football teams, but not professional in the same way that Americans would be familiar with. American football is very different, with set plays and stuff I don't really understand. Not that rugby is random, intelligent strategies and tactics are drilled into the players by intense training. Rugby is characterised by it's trials of strength, nimble dexterity and single minded dedication of the players and of a religious style ferver and dedication bread into a majority of Kiwis. If New Zealand sufferes defeat at the hand of it's traditional sporting rivals, South Africa/Springbocks: Australia/ Wallibies: British/ Lions, (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales more recently the Pumas from Argentina), a palpable malaise desends upon the Land. The prestigious World Cup final to determine the World Champion is top of the Rugby calendar. Before the pandemic hit, there was talk of a US rugby team being organised to play internationally. Apparently Rugby Football is a growing sport States Side. Achieving World Champion status would take time and that's not the American way of; "rip shit and bust", eh daughter🙂 However good things can take time so there is that I suppose.
Australia may be big but this is their international team made up of the best players from around all of Australia
Ah, that makes sense- thanks Jayden=)
@@MorganMarieWolff you are welcome :) anything you want to know about rugby or nz feel free to ask
@@MorganMarieWolfftake a look at the women's game their ball handling skills and attacking play is unbelievable
It is called. ‘Try’, because in the old days if you scored a Try, you got a Try at a’Conversion’, and you only got a point if you kicked the conversion.
Scotland won, 1-nil, converting one of their two try’s. England did not convert their one try.
There is many positions but a good team can have players that can play them all. Technically not allowed to block either.
The game is two 40-minute halves with a 10-15 minute half-time break; no half-time show!
No Halftime shows,the Rugby league grand final they do it.
Sounds to me like you're in need of a "kiwi bloke" to teach you about these things.. :) that was cute watching and listening to you comment on the game.
Or a chick that follows or plays..... This is 2023 dude, not 1823......women play rugby nowadays.
@@catzkeet4860I think he was applying for the job😊
God you’re going to get some good viewing stats on this video. I’d say most of the players past and present have not been to university.
Yeah, college sports aren't really a phenomenon in New Zealand. The rugby pipeline, along with other sports, generally involves going straight from high school into a provincial club or team (ideally one of the professional ones), and from there hoping that you get selected for the national team, possibly after being first selected for the national Under 20s or similar team if the sport has one. I always found it rather odd how the prevelance of college sports in the US, and their position as a gateway into professional sports, often forces people into attending university when they might otherwise have no interest in going. It's kinda unfair to marginalise people from playing a sport professionally just because they wanted to be an electrician or plumber, etc, and not go to college.
Not allowed to hold the ball when on the floor in a Ruck.
The helmets are head gear and the only armour they wear.
The Haka (a Maori war dance) replaces the national anthem for New Zealand.
While rugby is played throughout school, and into university, there are organised teams in New Zealand (rugby Union is a strictly amateur sport) it's from the top level teams that the national side is drawn. Most rugby-playing countries operate the same way. What you are seeing is the best players from both countries.
Australia (the Wallabies) are one of the few teams who can give the All Blacks a game (New Zealand's emblem is a white fern). My beloved Scotland are much further down the list.
Ear protection is strongly advised. The Scrum Cap (helmet) is rare these days, compared to a simple headband.
The USA doesn't have a National Football team because they'd have no-one to play, but they have a real football(soccer) team and the American Eagles rugby team.
With all due respect to the Wallabies, unlike New Zealand, it’s not national game. The women’s 2021 World Cup Final highlights between New Zealand and England should be your next game.
The Haka at the beginning is a Māori challenge to the other team.
"I bet these guys make a lot of money" Lolz, before 1995, they didn't even get paid, it was an amateur game.
Yummy
Also, Lomu was a BEAST
They were totally lifting the players when necessary! That should be allowed in American football
Jonah Lomu played amazingly well in that game to seal the win for the All Blacks
Ironically American Football uses the term "Touchdown", but you don't have to actually touch it down to get the points, but in rugby (union or league) you do have to physically touch the ball down, but generally that term is not used. Generally it's "try", (although the term "touchdown" would be understood to mean the same thing).
OK we don't have "college sports" To us Uni is for learning stuff, not for making money for your institution playing semi professional games. Our pros are members of the international teams. To score a try a player needs to "ground the ball" or be in contact with it when it touches the ground. The reason they'll sometimes not ground the ball when they cross the line is because to "convert" a try, you need to kick over the crossbar of the posts... what angle you kick at is determined by where the ball is grounded. When tackled the ball must be released, they don't "lose it" Ofc there are set positions, but it's hard for a noob to see them in a big game like this, but look at the defence around 10:34. The ABs are working to keep the Wallabies out. That's the defensive line in action.
You got into the ascetic of the game pretty quickly. Four months later I assume you now know the role of each position in a rugby team and the suitability and role of each player in that position. And every player is both a defender and attacker. But it's what each player's skill or talent, individual brilliance, is that makes the game exciting. Winning then becomes superfluous but it helps😂.
Why not watch a more recent game?
New Zealand number 11 Jonah Lomu. Start from there, he's a good start point to learn about Rugby. League and Union
When they go to ground in a phase,the object is to feed it back to your players immediately,before the other team can lean in and grab it,or stop it from being spat out, But if they do that,they have to stay on their feet while trying to steal the ball.
How to be an All Black. Start real young in a local club. Get noticed by representative teams, they represent an area.
You can then get noticed for a city club and from there possibly the All Blacks.
I know a few that went straight from high school to a rep team for a year so they could become an All Black upon turning 18.
No we don't have half time shows because we only have a 15 min break at halftime
Bloody hell ... That's an old game. Bledisloe Cup looks like it. All those All Blacks are either retired or Coaching now. Great squad though.
Interesting hearing your take on the game but you seem to have missed the point that they are the representative teams of the entire countries Aus & NZ, not clubs or provinces or whatever. God forbid that they should have mascots, it's about the game, or at least it used to be. No way is that the best All Blacks game ever; I was at Athletic Park in Wellington during a southerly storm to watch us beat the Aussies in about 1990, now that was fantastic.
It is literally - "a touch down" otherwise no try is given. the All Blacks are the Kiwis. Australia are the wallabies. England is the rose. Ireland is the shamrock. Scotland the thistle and Wales the leek of the daffodil. You should watch a Six nations game :). There are 'positions' which are the forwards and the backs. Generally the backs are faster runners and the forwards are the strength.
In rugby, offside depends upon an imaginary line from touch line to touch line through the middle of the ball. A pass that goes 'forward' is actually playing to an offside player (they are in front of that imaginary line). Likewise, when the ball is kicked ahead, any player on the side of the kicker's team, who is ahead of this line when the ball is kicked, are also offside ... This line is there for line outs and for scrums, mauls and rucks .... :)
The goal post are used to 'take a try' to kick the ball between the posts and above the cross bar. That is why we call it a try (a touch down) which allows the kicker a try at kicking the ball between the posts.
Try this one: ua-cam.com/video/_BfAtka_bi4/v-deo.html
You are watching a years back game, but one of the best. Girl to girl, it's nothing like Grid Iron, there's no throwing (passing) forward, there's no quarters, or changing of team players to defensive etc. each player is defensive and attack. 80 minute game is played in 2 halves but may include penalty time. Full on contact, and yes to a big degree now days quite stupid albeit there are severe rules as to how you can and can't tackle the opposition, penalties are yellow/red cards even as far as a heavy fine if you stuff up, more severe is to being stood down from playing for weeks. From the time the whistle is blown to start to when it is blown at half time/full time the game is played at full pace, more so in the dying last quarter of an hour if teams scoring is close. It is our national winter sport played by both females and males of all ages, from primary school, intermediate, high school, university, regional, local clubs, country farmers, professional. Girls against girls (bar friendly games sometimes) guys against guys. Winter is not too far away, we have already started our regional games, so take some time to catch one live. Learn something of the rules and play, support your local team, it's not everybody's cup of tea, but the vast majority support both our woman and male international teams. League and Touch rugby are along the same lines, both giving thrills and spills. Cheers Stephanie
Wait till the world cup in September mate! All blacks all the way!!
I don’t believe the vast majority of these rugby players ever went to college/university!
Except Taine Randell a lawyer while playing still is I think
This what your watching is rugby union, probably the most popular world wide, there is also rugby league, its complicated to understand why both types, there are videos on here that will give you the history of how they formed, it is quite interesting, and probably not what you thought it maybe. great reaction, and for the first time watching, you picked up on alot of things, when you learn the rules, it will become clear Im from the UK
I hope the flooding missed you I'm worried sick about my Daughter and Ex wife I hope everyone is ok
All blacks home is NZ. Wallabies is Australia.
A wallaby is an animal native to Aussie. Like kiwis are to Nz.
Well done ,diving into New Zealand's national game and don't forgot woman ruby is now finally a big thing here as well ,taken decades for it to be respected like the male Ruby game .May be if you can look at the woman world cup ruby that happen here recently ,and see what you think watching females play ruby .I can't see woman play and be respected playing NFL .New Zealand was the first nation to give woman the right to vote .
Really? I had no idea- thanks Logan=)
Ha Ha women's game as big as the men's...
So you're saying a woman will 1 day make an All Blacks matchday 23? What's your point about women playing NFL?
The ball has to be touched down over the line to be counted.
There are kiwis out here like me do follow American NFL. Must of the players are picked from there provinces like Waikato so and so on. Maori Haka only used in international games only not local games.
Trys are the real "touchdowns". There has to be downward pressure on the ball to the ground for it to count.
"Australia is so big, do they only have 1 team?" All countries only have 1 national team, unless you count U20 or U16. It is still one team. This isnt a league, this is Nationals.
Let me start by saying that whilst I enjoy watching Rugby I am no expert. Understanding the laws (yes the sport sometimes takes itself too seriously) is hard and I think you picked up remarkably well! So some inconsistencies exist because dangerous tackles have been more precisely described over the years. In a contemporary game you would be expected to attempt to wrap your arms around the ball carrier no higher than their shoulders and (perhaps less vigorously enforced) above the knees whilst at least one foot is on the ground of the player with the ball. Players who do not have the ball should not be tackled or interfered with (especially if they are behind the ball) but significant leeway is given when the commitment to tackle precedes passing the ball.
Theoretically lifting in a line-out is banned whilst holding a player at the height of their jump has always been allowed. I guess this is a bit like cannabis legislation - a lot of "I didn't see" going around.
When an infraction is committed if the opposing team have possession of the ball rather than stopping play the ref can allow this "advantage" to play out.
Scoring is in one instance achieved by placing by hand the ball behind the try line and before the dead ball line (5 points currently). Every try leads to a "goal kick". This allows for a further 2 points (a conversion) if the kicker places the ball between the uprights and above the crossbar. The kick is taken roughly as far from the sidelines as where the ball was grounded so getting near the posts is desired. Any player in possession of the ball may drop it to the ground and again kick between the uprights and above the crossbar for a 3 point drop goal.
Hope this helps but refs are given very broad discretion so sometimes even the knowledgeable have WTF moments.
It's constantly moving with a LOT less pauses and halts than American rules.
It's called the Haka
We're winning 😅👍
Lol I figured that the "best all blacks game" would have the All Blacks winning about half way through😂
All Blacks greatest rugby team ever.
Does Australia have just the one team? The team that is playing here is A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A. It is the national team of the country. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of teams in Australia. This is the national side, the best of the best.
hope u watched more gamez now n Luagh at yourself lol Good Girl
That's when Australia were last at their best.
i must be the only Kiwi bloke who doesn't follow rugby lol
