To try and get a small idea of how much Jonah Lomu impacted the game. check out and react to this very emotional scene from his funeral. ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
Former rugby player here. Jonah Lomu wasn't totally healed, he was still suffering from the kidney disease throughout his rugby career. Thank you for reacting to one of the greatest rugby legends and a great human being. Rest in peace big guy.
omg! thank you so much for giving me a little more insight on him. He was very amazing and to still push though and be a beast out there not he field. That s AMAZING!!!
Jonah was a magnificent freak in the game. I met him when I worked for Alpine car audio in Mt Wellington, AKLD, NZ. A most kind, humble and gentle bloke. RIP mate, we ABs fans miss you!
Your reaction was very respectful, thank you for that. There’s a lot of respect in rugby, you play hard might even fight. But at the end of the game you shake hands and clap each other off. Everything is left on the pitch. It’s a brotherhood/sisterhood. Best female player Portia Woodman. Oh and the most important reason why I love Rugby I played from 10 year old to mid 30’s and as a black man not once was there ever a hint of racism. I Evan have friends that I played against.
Youre welcome. watching Jonah Lomu definitely was amazing and a sight to see and the more i watch the more i like it. Ill definitely check into your suggestions. Rugby seems like there is so much to be respected about the sport. Thanks for watching
Your comment reminded me of my school rugby days. At about age 12, I was one of three Black players in a team that never had black players before (we were the first to even attend the school). In a home game against the famous Eton College, one of their players was heard to exclaim: "Ooh look, one blackie, two blackies, three blackies!" I didn't even hear it and it's arguable whether it was malicious (in 1969 Eton circles) but it incensed a couple of my White teammates, who reduced the game to an outright brawl won by a single score. I heard from one of the two guys, now a Falklands War veteran living in Canada, for the first time in 40 years recently on social media and had to mention how important that moment in time was to this fish out of water.
we've had full on brawls, team vs team, rights and lefts everywhere ... and after the game, there we were, getting drunk, singing drinking songs , and whatnot ... dunno who said, but he was a wise man ... rugby is a hooligans sport, played by gentlemen :)
So nice to see you appreciate the man and his skills. He was such a hero to rugby fans and we remember him but also we badly miss him. The gentle giant. Well, not always so gentle! Thank you.
Jonah was the first international rugby superstar I would laugh every time I saw him play the things he would do to the opposition had never been done like that before or since we miss ya man rest in peace my brother!
Great review, as a New Zealander I have so much respect for him. Even though he was so big on the field he was a real gentleman. Watching these old clips still is just as awesome as it was 20 years ago.
Number 11 is the wing the fastest man on the field, Jonah was special and the first of a new breed of rugby player, he was one of the biggest fastest players ever , It was not normal for wings to be so big , generally the biggest men are the forwards who fight for the ball ,and make the hard yards up the field , numbered 1 to 8. the backs are generally smaller and faster, number 9 to 15, the wings which there are two of on team side , one on the left side of the field and one one the right , there numbers are 11 and 14 , and the fastest men on the field .Jonah was bigger than the forwards and faster than most wings ,I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with this great man on a couple of games he attended in Llanelli rfc(the scarlets). Great man RIP Jonah 🇳🇿
@@Triciamichelle_yt Jonah stood out even though playing in a dream team full of stars. The calibre of his comtemporaries for and against was incredible and still he dominated the game.
thats an awseome story mate,i met him also in newport when you guys were down to play the dragons,he was such a humble man and it seemed always took the extra time to engage with fans RIP big man much missed never forgoten
Nice one sistergirl. It may be just a review of a sportsman but you reveal a lot about your character when you present yourself on UA-cam. You represent yourself and your countrymen very well and with class. Very refreshing to see people on YT keeping it natural and casual and also you can tell you have respect for those you review. And you have such a delightful smile to boot. Ya got me; new sub here. Onelove from Down Under. Peace.
Allure Vision Awesome reaction, i agree with alot of the other comments, you will learn Rugby Union in no time. Just a note, there are two different sports Rugby Union and Rugby League, alot of people get them mixed up (would be good to learn the rules of both, so you know what differences to look for (they are very very similar sports)). Jonah Lomu is linked to the island nation of Tonga, but was born in New Zealand and played Rugby Union (All Blacks (New Zealand national team)1994 - 2003) for the most part of his career, was linked to a potential Dallas Cowboys contract but turned it down, as rugby and the All Blacks was his passion in life. The kidney failure issue, however was a huge problem in the Pacific Island community of New Zealand (mainly diabetes) and sadly Jonah had a kidney disorder called (Nephrotic Syndrome). This condition plagued him for most of his career, as he was diagnosed in 1995, but steadily became too much in the end and had to go on kidney dialysis, he also never told anyone (Didn't want sympathy or special treatment, kind of stubborn). As you see in the many montages, he still performed at the highest level, imagine what a fully fit Jonah would have been like, off the field he was a really humble, down to earth, one of the really good guys. He made a brief comeback to rugby (2005 - 2007) after a successful kidney transplant, but sadly that kidney failed later on and he went back on the kidney dialysis machine, which spelled the end of his rugby career. He died much later on of complications due to the long term kidney dialysis machine process, which is not a 100% efficient way to clean the blood, eventually leading to the main cause of Jonah's death, a blood clot causing a heart attack (which is common for most long term kidney patients). Jonah was a one of a kind rugby player (never to be seen again) the G.O.A.T of rugby. Here's why, he did the 100 meters in 10:88, could step (Duke) off both feet, had incredible balance for a big man, very strong, has great passing and handling skills (You can pass the ball in rugby) 6.4 tall, 264.5 lbs, considered the first elite athlete/super star in rugby and was said to have put rugby in the international sport spotlight. True All Black legend, all round good guy and had an awesome sense of humor as well. Very much missed, RIP Jonah. Just a suggestion, you should look at, as this is not a montage, it's 3 minutes of the real game: Most Entertaining 3 Minutes of Rugby Ever || Highlanders vs Chiefs- Tim Nanai Williams Try Cheers, hope this wasn't too long :)
He had surgery. Came back to play Australia in the Bledisloe Cup which was called “The game that was played in heaven”. This was when he was ill but still played. Greatest game in the history next to Japan beating South Africa in the Rugby World Cup. Look them up you’ll get chills like you were there.
After his first game against Italy, they nick-named him, "Il Collosso", because of his sheer size and power. Arguably one of the largest and fastest human beings on the rugby field to date. He had incredible flexibility too for a big man, able to bend down and push players off, that is, if you could hold his legs anyway, as most opposition players said he was so powerful in the hips.
a) For it to be considered a "tackle" the opposing player has to be still holding you. If you are nold held, oyu can get back up and keep going. Also, unlike in Gridiron, play does not stop when you are tackled. b) To score, the ball must be touched down onto the ground in the goal area. Your hand must be on the ball and in control of it for it to count. YOu can still be tackled in the goal area as long as the ball has not been touched down. c) the person with the ball is only person allowed to be tackled. Tackling anyone who does not have the ball is considered a major foul d) the ball can be carried forward by a player or kicked forward. It can only be passed to another player behind the player with the ball (I think gridiron calls them laterals)
A player with the ball can kick it forward into space and then it's a race to see if the attacking team can reach it before the defending team. Passes have to show at least a degree of going backwards.
Loma and the All Blacks are great but so are you Aussies and also the Springboc's. love watching the games when they are on Canadian/USA television. Cannot wait for the world cup to begin.
New sub! Great reaction video about a sport and person you had never heard of but still treated the subject with respect, paid attention to detail, showed a genuine interest and was willing to actually research. I've only seen a few of your rugby videos but damn your reaction videos should be the standard format of all reaction videos lol. Keep up the great work. Much love from NZ girl! - D.boy ✌️
From New Zealand, You'll Never Find Another "Jonah Lomu " Again No Doubt, New Zealand's Best They Ever Had True Story. R.I.P "Jonah Lomu " A Humble Giant Never Forgotten.
New sub, GDAY from Australia, hope all is well. If you get tackled and fall to the ground but they aren't holding you down you can play on as long as no one is holding you. Little history, NFL or American football was born from rugby, the Americans change alot of things but still many similarities. Well I hope you enjoy this beautiful game we love call footy or rugby. Cheers and have a great one.
Thank u for subscribing and watching!! I knew it! Haha it looked so similar to our NFL but with different rules. Ive heard we take things and make it our own 😓 I for sure can see the similarities. Thank you for also explaining the ball being in play still.
You're smart am sure you'll learn it in no time great reaction by the way.lomu is the reason i started watching the sport rugby world Cup 95 the man was beast gone to soon mhsrip..
Kia Ora I been watching a few of your rugby/League and hawks clips I really appreciate the way you analyse the player or the sport or event I really respect that. Great Vidz
Kiaora yes Jonah lomu is a legend of Polynesian decent Tongan to be exact now our haka is a war dance our ancestors use to perform this before they went into battle it was used to hype you and your war party up as well as to intimidate their enemy to take their mana away ,now mana means something similar to power,lifeforce,energy,status .The haka can also be used to celebrate a wedding,funeral,appreciation etc as a sign of respect.Most of our Polynesian culture's perform their own version of a haka but Maoris are more renowned for the Haka ,Hawaiian,Tahitian,cook islanders,Easter islanders, have a similar haka but very distinguished in their own right but we do share a similar whakapapa ,lineages history languages very similar and appearance.
Was lucky enough to meet this great man, I sold him an iPod for his niece, had an awesome chat with him and got a photo with him. Great guy. It was after he had retired and spoke a lot about his boxing gym.
Respect for checking out Rugby gorgeous. My Dad is from New Zealand but grew up in Charlotte NC. Have always loved Rugby and American Football. Rugby is a different animal, it's played internationally and has a World Cup. Another thing about Rugby is that there are no timeouts in an 80min game, only a halftime. Every player plays offense and defense and no substitutions unless for injury. Enjoyed the UA-cam!
As an Englishman I loved him except when he played against England. When he burst onto the scene he was a monster, nobody else was that big and fast. Teams had no idea how to play against him. If he was in the game today, no doubt he would be effective but he wouldn't have the impact like he did 20 years ago as players are all getting bigger, stronger and faster. Wingers who were usually the smaller faster guys are now often over 6ft and weigh over 100kg (220lbs) with pace to burn. Rugby is a very different game nowadays.
Gotta disagree. There still hasn't been a player even close to what Jonah was based on pure numbers. 123kg, 6'5 and could run the 100m in under 11 sec. Just the physics on these numbers in action would still likely smash most players today. He use to constantly steam roll forwards of his era who were all well over 100kg. His numbers + his Island DNA + his upbringing on the hard streets of South Auckland make him a once in a century player. American Football players past & present don't even have these numbers in terms of size & speed combined.
Kane said it right. Yes he changed the game and players have improved. There has not been a player close since. If he'd been a sprinter he'd hold the world record. If he had played in the NFL he would have been the best player of all time. He was the most supreme athlete ever and if he didn't have his disease he'd have been even better! That is what's amazing!
Sorry Matt. How many 6’5” wingers that weigh 260lbs are playing the game currently? And if so, are they running a 10.8 100 metre time? Who’s to say that Jonah couldn’t have been even better 20 years later (and with perfect kidneys)?
I wish you are here to witness, how awesome the game has grown and admired, especially by our Usa rugby families. Thank you big fella. What an Awesome Legacy. Rest in Peace Jonah. No11. Even my sons put number 11 on their eyebrows. Haha.
Awesome to see you researching and not just assuming things.. Kool! Jona was a legend, unfortunately the rest of the world will never know just how much!!
Gr8 reaction and I like how u actually took your time and researched and read up on him. Rugby is a great sport 2 watch and play. The ball is only out of play wen the ball goes in2 touch or over the demarcated line which borders the field of play and a lineout is taken. Play can also be halted when u pass the ball forward or knock it on wen receiving a pass. There are also various penalty infringements which u will soon learn about. Just some useless information... Jonah Lomu scored a try against every rugby nation in the world except south Africa 😁 and yes that's where I'm from. Pls react to Cheslin Kolbe. Thanx
Yes researching into it gives me a background on the person. I enjoy learning more about rugby. Thank you for explaining things I'll definitely take a look at your suggestion
Allure Vision I'm a rugby player and I like your interest n reaction to rugby. .rugby is a sport that teachers respect and unity that's what it stands for. .so if you have any questions u can always ask in your next rugby reaction and I will fill you up on those questions x
Greatest rugby player ever. But his biggest achievement was off the field in the way he was so humble and how he dealt with the life threatening disease he had. A very humble man. Rip bro.
To try and get a small idea of how much Jonah Lomu impacted the game. check out and react to this very emotional scene from his funeral. ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
Chur I'll try answer some questions So in rugby... -15 on the field from each team at a time -You can only tackle the player with the ball. -You can only pass the ball backwards If you drop the ball forward, if you run out of bounds while holding the ball, if you obstruct the tackler from tackling the person with the ball, plus more, this will stop the play and a reset phase will commence via Scrum, Tap and Pass, or a lineout. In some conditions, a kicker may also have a shot a kicking it over and between the posts. If the ball carrier is tackeled and held on the ground, he must then place and release the ball. The two teams will then need to work to obtain the ball. Sk play doesn't stop when you're tackeled
Glad you seemed to enjoy the highlight clips. Rugby is a game of respect between players. It can be physical on the field, but its left on the field. My home club does a summer tournement and its hard hitting on the field but after the matchs, we come together as a brother/sisterhood and have beers, stroies and food together. As for your question about setting the ball down, yes to get the try, you have to put the ball onto the ground. Where you put the ball down determines where the kick for the conversion point is from.
thanks for the reaction, loved it. Im sure it wont take long for you to learn the game, i just wanted to let you know about jonahs position on the field (winger) no11. jonah was a beast, one of the youngest player to ever get picked by the ALLBLACKS, he was big and fast, to be a winger you had to have speed and thats why Jonah was a dangerous player, he had the speed and size and he was very strong. R.I.P to the best winger to ever play the game.
He was undoubtedly the first superstar of this game. He made The All Blacks at 19yrs old in 1994. Most of the highlights you saw he would of still been in his early 20s. He suffered kidney problems in 1995 but carried on playing. 2002 he did not play for the All blacks By 2003 the disease got worse and he had to undergo surgery in 2004. He played rugby again in 2005 for smaller franchise teams but retired shortly after in 2007 as his health was a concern.
If you are tackled and not held, you need to place the ball on the ground, stand up right, pick up the ball again and continue running. Awesome stuff Allure Vision 😊
Lomu turned down an offer to play a Bond villain in the movie Die Another Day to concentrate on his return to rugby during illness. He also has a compilation album of favorite tracks called Music That Moves The Man.
nice to see a pretty face covering our favourite sport.. if you can , go see the AB's play at Eden Park NZ one day and you'll see 1st hand why we love this game and why we're the best at it in long running history..Kia Ora darl..
Jonah Lomu, 1975-2015: the only rugby player I've ever heard hairy, drunk male fans in English pubs, and beautiful American women on UA-cam, talk exactly the same way about: "Look at the size of his thighs!" "He's a bulldozer!" Etc. That's why he will always be a true legend. Jonah: rest in peace my man. You were the greatest of them all, and humble in your genius.
As for your question about when play stops, it’s only when the ball stops it’s forward movement or goes out of bounds. Unlike American football were play stops when your knee touches the ground, you can even pass while you’re down. Also, the clock is running most of the time. So the 80 minutes of game time is actually close to 80 minutes real time. I think there’s only 10 minutes for halftime. Otherwise it’s constant motion. Maybe that’s one of the appeals of rugby.
American Football was taken from Rugby Football but the similarities end there. Rugby is a passing game, man on man tackles not 'hits'. No helmets body armour and the ball has to be passed backwards not forwards. Rugby has 'scrums' not 'scrimmage', line outs and the same 15 stay on the pitch all the time! and yes to get a 'Try' not a 'touchdown' you put the ball on the ground. The 'conversion' kick is taken from a line back from where it was 'grounded. Glad you love this game. Nothing else like it for power, speed, skill, hard tackles and then we all go to the pub together afterwards.
That was great, your last question about the ball being in play was the crucial one, at the tackle the ball is still in play with both teams scrapping for possession, so the fitness levels of these guys are through the roof, play only stopping for forward fumbles or forward passing, ball going out of bounds or scoring at the ends by putting the ball down
Hi AV Here's a comment I posted on another video about the same thing. Hi I'm not sure if somebody mentioned this yet (lazy to read the comments), but the numbers on the their jerseys show their position in the team. 1 to 8 are the forwards (scrummage pack). 9 is the scrumhalf, sorta like the quarterback in football. He's the link between the forwards and the back line players. 10 to 14 are the runners, usually the fastest players on the team. They form a slightly diagonal line behind the forward pack and wait for the ball from the scrumhalf to run it. The whole team plays this way, i.e. always stay behind the ball-carrier, thus the ball-carrier always knows that there is somebody left and right to pass to (not pitch as you call it). And finally, 15 is the fullback, sorta like the safety in football. About the rules...... you were curious about a few plays in this and a previous video...... Tackle ball situation - when a players is tackled to the ground and held in the tackle, he must release the ball, i.e. he can not longer handle the ball in anyway. That being said, during the tackle the player does have the opportunity to make a final play before the tackle is over. Thus players going down in the tackle passing the ball to their teammates, or a tackle in front of the goal line, where the player can, in one action, stretch and ground the ball over the line to score a try. If a player is tackle, but not held, and can get to his feet in the momentum of the tackle, i.e. sliding or rolling back onto his feet, he may continue to play. But if the player is tackle and not held, but has been stopped from further actions, the tackled player must release the ball, get back onto his feet without the ball, then the player may pick up the ball and continue to play. The 'chip and chase' - As you correctly assumed, in rugby, unlike football, you may not touch, tackle or obstruct a player without the ball. The 'chip and chase' is a good tactic to beat an opponent coming from the front to tackle you. the idea behind it is to chip it over the opponent's head. Not only can the opponent no longer tackle you, but also if you are coming at speed, that opponent needs now to turn around and try to chase you down, which in most cases is almost impossible. That's why you see so many tries coming from it. Also, not only can the kicker grab the ball, but any player in your team, as long as they were next to or behind the kicker at the time of the kick. You also call them lateral passes, well not exactly only lateral. The passes may only be made to players next to you or behind you so, sometimes the passes are lateral, but most times they are backward from the person passing. Forward passing is not allowed, only kicks, and I already explained the basic rules about that. Hope this helps give you little more insight to the game. Keep up the videos. They're great to watch. thanks
Hi, I'm from New Zealand and thought you might want to check out the Black Ferns, a WOMEN'S national rugby & rugby leaque teams. They hit just as hard if not sometimes harder
people maybe have explained this already after 6 months but I will try and explain a bit about Rugby. There are actually 2 codes of Rugby, Rugby League and Rugby Union, the codes vary in rules and how you play each. Seeing as what you are watching here is Rugby Union I will concentrate on the rules of that. In Union the aim of the game is to carry the ball over the try line (American Football equiviant to the Endzone). Unlike American Football where you only have to run the ball over, in Rugby you have to place the ball down. You score 5 points for scoring a try. It is semi important where you ground the ball over the tryline as you have a conversion kick when you score a try, like you do in American Football when you run over the endzone. Reason it is important is because you take the conversion level to where you grounded the ball, so if you ground it under the sticks, or posts, obviously you have an easier kick than if you grounded it near the sidelines as the angle and distance is harder. You get an additional 2 points for a conversion. There are 2 other ways of scoring which are penalty kicks (worth 2 points) and drop goals (worth 1 point), there are also penalty tries, which is when you have been fouled and prevented from scoring a obvious try, but they are very rare and score as a normal try. When a foul has been committed, depending on the infringement, you can have a scrum (where the 2 sets of forwards lock together and push each other as a player puts the ball in from the side and they have to kick the ball out of the back of the scrum to continue the game. If it is a penalty they have choice to kick for penalty (2 points if successful) or gain ground by kicking the ball upfield out of bounds on the sideline. The latter results in them having a lineout at the point where the ball crossed the line but the ball most not have touched the floor when it was kicked out otherwise the lineout is taken level with where the kick was taken. A lineout is when a player throws the ball in to 2 lines of players who compete for the ball by jumping in the air to catch it. You are only allowed to tackle the man/woman with the ball, there are a few rules on how you can tackle but basically those are for safety reasons as as you saw they don't have much protection. The ball must be passed backwards, although you can kick it forwards for you or your team to catch as long as all players of the team with the ball are behind the kicker when he kicks it. The one way of scoring I mentioned that I haven't explained are drop goals or drop kicks. These can happen at any point during the match and is when the player kicks the ball between the uprights (sticks) during live play. These normally happen towards the end of a match if the scores are level or close, and as I said before, you score 1 point. Each half lasts 40 minutes plus any added time if necessary. I think that should have confused you enough lol, but seriously once you start watching it and getting into it the rules and plays are not any more confusing as your American football rules which I only know partially :P
Friend of mine got me into rugby. Love the sport. Follow a few Rugby Union leagues around the world. Watch the best 3 minutes in Rugby video. Example of the open play it can be.
You can play the ball until its knocked forward or the other team takes it away. You only stop when there is a foul otherwise you keep on playing and that's what makes it the best sport.
Homegrown for yourself, Allure, are the fastest men in rugby. They are specialists in the abridged version, 7-a-side rugby. Carlin Isles and Perry Baker. You may fancy checking them out. Well worth it, the two more exciting players in the more exciting version of rugby.
JONAH in the NFL.....with blockers would’ve been like handing candy to a baby......he would’ve been prolific scoring touchdowns at will and with ease.......without blockers he is still dangerous...but with them he is a whole new BEAST!.....no one would’ve stopped him....and he would’ve won ring after ring if he had gone to Dallas!! - True Story......
There are certain players that become legends for rugby fans all over the world, and Jonah Lomu is without doubt top of the list. Others include Gareth Edwards, Jean-Pierre Rives, and Dan Carter. Please do check them out - you won't regret it!
Jonah was a freaking truck. You get in his way on the field and he'll run you over like a Prius. Off the field the man was a gentle giant, a teddy bear and always had time for the kids in the neighbourhood. I watch a documentary about him and anything to keep the kids off the streets and away from gangs, he was involved in. A true man of the people.
Yeah, RIP legend, Lomu was the first of a new breed of player! kinda like 200 pounds (not sure of weight in this measurement) and could run the hundred meters in like 11 seconds. massive, fast, astonishing and the first rugby superstar!! :))))
You weren't sure about what 941 meant. All Blacks are numbered. It started in 1884 with all Black number 1 and we are now up to 1181. Johan was AB number 941 Johan was so exciting to watch. At 195cm and 118kg he was so strong and could run 100 metres in 10.7 seconds. A beast on the field and a gentleman off it. One off our greats.
In rugby, touchdown means Touch Down. If you don't place it on the ground there is no score. You can only tackle the person holding the ball. To move the ball forwards you can either carry it or kick it. If you pass (throw) it to another player, that player must be behind you - you can't pass forwards. I think that is probably all you need for now.
Omg Rugby is so physical and so new to me. Help me learn this guys!! RIP to Jonah Lomu

You started with the best, enjoying your reactions, hopefully you will love the game too and some day join a female team.
To try and get a small idea of how much Jonah Lomu impacted the game. check out and react to this very emotional scene from his funeral.
ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
Former rugby player here. Jonah Lomu wasn't totally healed, he was still suffering from the kidney disease throughout his rugby career. Thank you for reacting to one of the greatest rugby legends and a great human being. Rest in peace big guy.
omg! thank you so much for giving me a little more insight on him. He was very amazing and to still push though and be a beast out there not he field. That s AMAZING!!!
Your presentation was very respectful, thanks, he was a lovely , humble man. God bless you Jonah rip
Jonah was a magnificent freak in the game. I met him when I worked for Alpine car audio in Mt Wellington, AKLD, NZ. A most kind, humble and gentle bloke. RIP mate, we ABs fans miss you!
Your reaction was very respectful, thank you for that. There’s a lot of respect in rugby, you play hard might even fight. But at the end of the game you shake hands and clap each other off. Everything is left on the pitch. It’s a brotherhood/sisterhood. Best female player Portia Woodman. Oh and the most important reason why I love Rugby I played from 10 year old to mid 30’s and as a black man not once was there ever a hint of racism. I Evan have friends that I played against.
Youre welcome. watching Jonah Lomu definitely was amazing and a sight to see and the more i watch the more i like it. Ill definitely check into your suggestions. Rugby seems like there is so much to be respected about the sport. Thanks for watching
Lots of respect in Rugby :) ua-cam.com/video/Zj6YFZv_Yts/v-deo.html
Your comment reminded me of my school rugby days. At about age 12, I was one of three Black players in a team that never had black players before (we were the first to even attend the school). In a home game against the famous Eton College, one of their players was heard to exclaim: "Ooh look, one blackie, two blackies, three blackies!" I didn't even hear it and it's arguable whether it was malicious (in 1969 Eton circles) but it incensed a couple of my White teammates, who reduced the game to an outright brawl won by a single score. I heard from one of the two guys, now a Falklands War veteran living in Canada, for the first time in 40 years recently on social media and had to mention how important that moment in time was to this fish out of water.
@@way2deep100 Wow, I love your story. Thanks for sharing.
we've had full on brawls, team vs team, rights and lefts everywhere ... and after the game, there we were, getting drunk, singing drinking songs , and whatnot ... dunno who said, but he was a wise man ... rugby is a hooligans sport, played by gentlemen :)
So nice to see you appreciate the man and his skills.
He was such a hero to rugby fans and we remember him but also we badly miss him.
The gentle giant. Well, not always so gentle!
Thank you.
Much love for our boy Jonah, most devastating runner with ball of all time. you're pronounciation is pretty good, quite natural.
You’ve started with one of the best, an absolute legend, powerful and fast.
Another Tongan athlete. The greatest to ever play the game. 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴💪🏾
Jonah was the first international rugby superstar I would laugh every time I saw him play the things he would do to the opposition had never been done like that before or since we miss ya man rest in peace my brother!
Great review, as a New Zealander I have so much respect for him. Even though he was so big on the field he was a real gentleman. Watching these old clips still is just as awesome as it was 20 years ago.
Number 11 is the wing the fastest man on the field, Jonah was special and the first of a new breed of rugby player, he was one of the biggest fastest players ever , It was not normal for wings to be so big , generally the biggest men are the forwards who fight for the ball ,and make the hard yards up the field , numbered 1 to 8. the backs are generally smaller and faster, number 9 to 15, the wings which there are two of on team side , one on the left side of the field and one one the right , there numbers are 11 and 14 , and the fastest men on the field .Jonah was bigger than the forwards and faster than most wings ,I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with this great man on a couple of games he attended in Llanelli rfc(the scarlets). Great man RIP Jonah 🇳🇿
Yes he truly was fast even in this video. He was so amazing. What a guy! Im sure he was a pleasure to watch and especially meet
@@Triciamichelle_yt Jonah stood out even though playing in a dream team full of stars. The calibre of his comtemporaries for and against was incredible and still he dominated the game.
thats an awseome story mate,i met him also in newport when you guys were down to play the dragons,he was such a humble man and it seemed always took the extra time to engage with fans RIP big man much missed never forgoten
This man was a beast on the field and a gentleman out of it.
Lolo Bebel he seems like he was such a great guy. So good but so modest 😊
Absolutely
Nice one sistergirl. It may be just a review of a sportsman but you reveal a lot about your character when you present yourself on UA-cam. You represent yourself and your countrymen very well and with class. Very refreshing to see people on YT keeping it natural and casual and also you can tell you have respect for those you review. And you have such a delightful smile to boot. Ya got me; new sub here. Onelove from Down Under. Peace.
Allure Vision Awesome reaction, i agree with alot of the other comments, you will learn Rugby Union in no time. Just a note, there are two different sports Rugby Union and Rugby League, alot of people get them mixed up (would be good to learn the rules of both, so you know what differences to look for (they are very very similar sports)). Jonah Lomu is linked to the island nation of Tonga, but was born in New Zealand and played Rugby Union (All Blacks (New Zealand national team)1994 - 2003) for the most part of his career, was linked to a potential Dallas Cowboys contract but turned it down, as rugby and the All Blacks was his passion in life. The kidney failure issue, however was a huge problem in the Pacific Island community of New Zealand (mainly diabetes) and sadly Jonah had a kidney disorder called (Nephrotic Syndrome). This condition plagued him for most of his career, as he was diagnosed in 1995, but steadily became too much in the end and had to go on kidney dialysis, he also never told anyone (Didn't want sympathy or special treatment, kind of stubborn). As you see in the many montages, he still performed at the highest level, imagine what a fully fit Jonah would have been like, off the field he was a really humble, down to earth, one of the really good guys. He made a brief comeback to rugby (2005 - 2007) after a successful kidney transplant, but sadly that kidney failed later on and he went back on the kidney dialysis machine, which spelled the end of his rugby career. He died much later on of complications due to the long term kidney dialysis machine process, which is not a 100% efficient way to clean the blood, eventually leading to the main cause of Jonah's death, a blood clot causing a heart attack (which is common for most long term kidney patients). Jonah was a one of a kind rugby player (never to be seen again) the G.O.A.T of rugby. Here's why, he did the 100 meters in 10:88, could step (Duke) off both feet, had incredible balance for a big man, very strong, has great passing and handling skills (You can pass the ball in rugby) 6.4 tall, 264.5 lbs, considered the first elite athlete/super star in rugby and was said to have put rugby in the international sport spotlight. True All Black legend, all round good guy and had an awesome sense of humor as well. Very much missed, RIP Jonah.
Just a suggestion, you should look at, as this is not a montage, it's 3 minutes of the real game:
Most Entertaining 3 Minutes of Rugby Ever || Highlanders vs Chiefs- Tim Nanai Williams Try
Cheers, hope this wasn't too long :)
He had surgery. Came back to play Australia in the Bledisloe Cup which was called “The game that was played in heaven”. This was when he was ill but still played. Greatest game in the history next to Japan beating South Africa in the Rugby World Cup. Look them up you’ll get chills like you were there.
After his first game against Italy, they nick-named him, "Il Collosso", because of his sheer size and power. Arguably one of the largest and fastest human beings on the rugby field to date. He had incredible flexibility too for a big man, able to bend down and push players off, that is, if you could hold his legs anyway, as most opposition players said he was so powerful in the hips.
Jonah was a freak of nature, almost unstoppable. He was also very humble and a great role model, it's very sad he was taken so young.
a) For it to be considered a "tackle" the opposing player has to be still holding you. If you are nold held, oyu can get back up and keep going. Also, unlike in Gridiron, play does not stop when you are tackled.
b) To score, the ball must be touched down onto the ground in the goal area. Your hand must be on the ball and in control of it for it to count. YOu can still be tackled in the goal area as long as the ball has not been touched down.
c) the person with the ball is only person allowed to be tackled. Tackling anyone who does not have the ball is considered a major foul
d) the ball can be carried forward by a player or kicked forward. It can only be passed to another player behind the player with the ball (I think gridiron calls them laterals)
+Glen Be ohhhh u explained it all in depth thank u so much!!! This is why i am here, to truly learn
A player with the ball can kick it forward into space and then it's a race to see if the attacking team can reach it before the defending team. Passes have to show at least a degree of going backwards.
You caused so much problems for us Aussies on the field but you were a champion of a player Joana!!
RIP brother!!
Loma and the All Blacks are great but so are you Aussies and also the Springboc's. love watching the games when they are on Canadian/USA television. Cannot wait for the world cup to begin.
Lomu was an absolute legend. An incredible player and respected around every nation where Rugby is popular. Rest in peace big guy!
New sub! Great reaction video about a sport and person you had never heard of but still treated the subject with respect, paid attention to detail, showed a genuine interest and was willing to actually research. I've only seen a few of your rugby videos but damn your reaction videos should be the standard format of all reaction videos lol. Keep up the great work. Much love from NZ girl! - D.boy ✌️
From New Zealand, You'll Never Find Another "Jonah Lomu " Again No Doubt, New Zealand's Best They Ever Had True Story. R.I.P "Jonah Lomu " A Humble Giant Never Forgotten.
New sub, GDAY from Australia, hope all is well. If you get tackled and fall to the ground but they aren't holding you down you can play on as long as no one is holding you. Little history, NFL or American football was born from rugby, the Americans change alot of things but still many similarities. Well I hope you enjoy this beautiful game we love call footy or rugby. Cheers and have a great one.
Thank u for subscribing and watching!! I knew it! Haha it looked so similar to our NFL but with different rules. Ive heard we take things and make it our own 😓 I for sure can see the similarities. Thank you for also explaining the ball being in play still.
nice one ozzy !!
Love the respect given to the greatest man who ever played the game, RIP to the big guy
Hes really an inspiration
I really like how u research before you watch it it’s good to go in knowing what to expect 💯💯
Thank you for the kind words and the love.......its appreciated
Jonah was a once in a lifetime player there will never b another like him
You're smart am sure you'll learn it in no time great reaction by the way.lomu is the reason i started watching the sport rugby world Cup 95 the man was beast gone to soon mhsrip..
+Dave kc thank you. I'll be sure to keep at it. Cant wait to learn more
An absolute legend of the game and all round great bloke. Loved around the rugby playing world. My boys always wanted to watch him!
Hes really inspiring
Kia Ora I been watching a few of your rugby/League and hawks clips I really appreciate the way you analyse the player or the sport or event I really respect that. Great Vidz
Haka not hawk? Lol
I’m from New Zealand and a fan of your channel and Especially of Jonah Lomu. Thanks for showing so much respect for our legendary All Black player.
He was truly a gift
Kiaora yes Jonah lomu is a legend of Polynesian decent Tongan to be exact now our haka is a war dance our ancestors use to perform this before they went into battle it was used to hype you and your war party up as well as to intimidate their enemy to take their mana away ,now mana means something similar to power,lifeforce,energy,status .The haka can also be used to celebrate a wedding,funeral,appreciation etc as a sign of respect.Most of our Polynesian culture's perform their own version of a haka but Maoris are more renowned for the Haka ,Hawaiian,Tahitian,cook islanders,Easter islanders, have a similar haka but very distinguished in their own right but we do share a similar whakapapa ,lineages history languages very similar and appearance.
RIP JONAH !! AMAZING ATHLETE WARRIOR IDOL GREAT HEART !!!
+zé viriato i agree great athlete. Pleasure to watch
Was lucky enough to meet this great man, I sold him an iPod for his niece, had an awesome chat with him and got a photo with him. Great guy. It was after he had retired and spoke a lot about his boxing gym.
You could not have started with a better player to learn the game with💯
It's nice to see people who are new to rugby and there reaction to game. Rugby is New Zealand number 1 game.
You were spot on in noticing all the awesome qualities that made Jonah the great player he was. Good observation.
Respect for checking out Rugby gorgeous. My Dad is from New Zealand but grew up in Charlotte NC. Have always loved Rugby and American Football.
Rugby is a different animal, it's played internationally and has a World Cup. Another thing about Rugby is that there are no timeouts in an 80min game, only a halftime. Every player plays offense and defense and no substitutions unless for injury. Enjoyed the UA-cam!
As an Englishman I loved him except when he played against England. When he burst onto the scene he was a monster, nobody else was that big and fast. Teams had no idea how to play against him. If he was in the game today, no doubt he would be effective but he wouldn't have the impact like he did 20 years ago as players are all getting bigger, stronger and faster. Wingers who were usually the smaller faster guys are now often over 6ft and weigh over 100kg (220lbs) with pace to burn. Rugby is a very different game nowadays.
Gotta disagree. There still hasn't been a player even close to what Jonah was based on pure numbers. 123kg, 6'5 and could run the 100m in under 11 sec. Just the physics on these numbers in action would still likely smash most players today. He use to constantly steam roll forwards of his era who were all well over 100kg. His numbers + his Island DNA + his upbringing on the hard streets of South Auckland make him a once in a century player. American Football players past & present don't even have these numbers in terms of size & speed combined.
Kane said it right. Yes he changed the game and players have improved. There has not been a player close since. If he'd been a sprinter he'd hold the world record. If he had played in the NFL he would have been the best player of all time. He was the most supreme athlete ever and if he didn't have his disease he'd have been even better! That is what's amazing!
Sorry Matt. How many 6’5” wingers that weigh 260lbs are playing the game currently? And if so, are they running a 10.8 100 metre time? Who’s to say that Jonah couldn’t have been even better 20 years later (and with perfect kidneys)?
Wind is gona blow you away if youre not over 200pounds.
Great great video mat.
The big fella in action. Gentle giant off the field.
Dallas Cowboys were interested in him on playing running back in 1995 but he turned down the offer.
Jonah Lomu + Emmit Smith ? 👀 ...
Wow just wow what an athlete indeed
jo darby i know right
I wish you are here to witness, how awesome the game has grown and admired, especially by our Usa rugby families. Thank you big fella. What an Awesome Legacy.
Rest in Peace
Jonah. No11.
Even my sons put number 11 on their eyebrows. Haha.
kia ora wahine..ive watched 3 of your vids in a row and have mad respect for you, its good to see you so genuinely interested in our culture
A female reacting to rugby, I love it, thank you! AFL is awesome too. New sub right here, keep it up chicka x
Thank you❤
Awesome to see you researching and not just assuming things.. Kool!
Jona was a legend, unfortunately the rest of the world will never know just how much!!
Thats why he's the best to ever do it.look at how big how strong how fast & he never played anywhere near 100%.r.i.p jonah.
Gr8 reaction and I like how u actually took your time and researched and read up on him. Rugby is a great sport 2 watch and play. The ball is only out of play wen the ball goes in2 touch or over the demarcated line which borders the field of play and a lineout is taken. Play can also be halted when u pass the ball forward or knock it on wen receiving a pass. There are also various penalty infringements which u will soon learn about. Just some useless information... Jonah Lomu scored a try against every rugby nation in the world except south Africa 😁 and yes that's where I'm from. Pls react to Cheslin Kolbe. Thanx
Yes researching into it gives me a background on the person. I enjoy learning more about rugby. Thank you for explaining things
I'll definitely take a look at your suggestion
Great reaction beautiful person
thank you for that 😊
Allure Vision I'm a rugby player and I like your interest n reaction to rugby. .rugby is a sport that teachers respect and unity that's what it stands for. .so if you have any questions u can always ask in your next rugby reaction and I will fill you up on those questions x
Oh Awesome!! thank you
Greatest rugby player ever. But his biggest achievement was off the field in the way he was so humble and how he dealt with the life threatening disease he had. A very humble man. Rip bro.
Good to see a lady doing a Rugby Union review especially on the great Jonah Lomu keep up the good work your sending out Rugby to a different audience
Thanks for your support
@@Triciamichelle_yt ka pai keep up the good work
Added to my list for sure thanks
To try and get a small idea of how much Jonah Lomu impacted the game. check out and react to this very emotional scene from his funeral.
ua-cam.com/video/ovd3v0CPXJA/v-deo.html
Chur
I'll try answer some questions
So in rugby...
-15 on the field from each team at a time
-You can only tackle the player with the ball.
-You can only pass the ball backwards
If you drop the ball forward, if you run out of bounds while holding the ball, if you obstruct the tackler from tackling the person with the ball, plus more, this will stop the play and a reset phase will commence via Scrum, Tap and Pass, or a lineout. In some conditions, a kicker may also have a shot a kicking it over and between the posts.
If the ball carrier is tackeled and held on the ground, he must then place and release the ball. The two teams will then need to work to obtain the ball. Sk play doesn't stop when you're tackeled
Thats for helping me with these answers!!
you figured out so many rules from a short video, well done, very perceptive!
First star in the professional era. The goat.
Glad you seemed to enjoy the highlight clips.
Rugby is a game of respect between players. It can be physical on the field, but its left on the field. My home club does a summer tournement and its hard hitting on the field but after the matchs, we come together as a brother/sisterhood and have beers, stroies and food together.
As for your question about setting the ball down, yes to get the try, you have to put the ball onto the ground. Where you put the ball down determines where the kick for the conversion point is from.
Hey that was good info thank you for taking the time to share😊
thanks for the reaction, loved it. Im sure it wont take long for you to learn the game, i just wanted to let you know about jonahs position on the field (winger) no11. jonah was a beast, one of the youngest player to ever get picked by the ALLBLACKS, he was big and fast, to be a winger you had to have speed and thats why Jonah was a dangerous player, he had the speed and size and he was very strong. R.I.P to the best winger to ever play the game.
Jonah was the most legendary rugby player... He was just an Amazing person...
RIP Lomu... Jason Taumalolo 🏉💪
RIP jonah❤
He was undoubtedly the first superstar of this game. He made The All Blacks at 19yrs old in 1994. Most of the highlights you saw he would of still been in his early 20s. He suffered kidney problems in 1995 but carried on playing. 2002 he did not play for the All blacks By 2003 the disease got worse and he had to undergo surgery in 2004. He played rugby again in 2005 for smaller franchise teams but retired shortly after in 2007 as his health was a concern.
Man he sounds so amazing, and to still fight to play after such a diagnosis of kidney problems. Great guy!
If you are tackled and not held, you need to place the ball on the ground, stand up right, pick up the ball again and continue running. Awesome stuff Allure Vision 😊
Kia ora whanau. Jona lomu was a freak train in rugby, couldnt be stop'd. R.i.p jona
legend. from our country; south africa.
Lomu turned down an offer to play a Bond villain in the movie Die Another Day to concentrate on his return to rugby during illness. He also has a compilation album of favorite tracks called Music That Moves The Man.
nice to see a pretty face covering our favourite sport.. if you can , go see the AB's play at Eden Park NZ one day and you'll see 1st hand why we love this game and why we're the best at it in long running history..Kia Ora darl..
That will be awesome and I will do it for sure soon
"he don't want the ball....run away.." Love that.
Jonah Lomu, 1975-2015: the only rugby player I've ever heard hairy, drunk male fans in English pubs, and beautiful American women on UA-cam, talk exactly the same way about: "Look at the size of his thighs!" "He's a bulldozer!" Etc.
That's why he will always be a true legend.
Jonah: rest in peace my man. You were the greatest of them all, and humble in your genius.
He made me a fan
As for your question about when play stops, it’s only when the ball stops it’s forward movement or goes out of bounds. Unlike American football were play stops when your knee touches the ground, you can even pass while you’re down. Also, the clock is running most of the time. So the 80 minutes of game time is actually close to 80 minutes real time. I think there’s only 10 minutes for halftime. Otherwise it’s constant motion. Maybe that’s one of the appeals of rugby.
American Football was taken from Rugby Football but the similarities end there. Rugby is a passing game, man on man tackles not 'hits'. No helmets body armour and the ball has to be passed backwards not forwards. Rugby has 'scrums' not 'scrimmage', line outs and the same 15 stay on the pitch all the time!
and yes to get a 'Try' not a 'touchdown' you put the ball on the ground. The 'conversion' kick is taken from a line back from where it was 'grounded.
Glad you love this game. Nothing else like it for power, speed, skill, hard tackles and then we all go to the pub together afterwards.
That was great, your last question about the ball being in play was the crucial one, at the tackle the ball is still in play with both teams scrapping for possession, so the fitness levels of these guys are through the roof, play only stopping for forward fumbles or forward passing, ball going out of bounds or scoring at the ends by putting the ball down
Doc Gonzales wow that helped so much! thank you for your time and watching
My pleasure, admire you for expanding your understanding of something completely different.
Thank you for respecting the legend🙏you should try he's modern day version Julian savea
Lomu was like a bullet freight train with the balance and agility of a ninja
Good one about the greatest rugby player ever (imho). Keep up the good work!
Hi AV
Here's a comment I posted on another video about the same thing.
Hi
I'm not sure if somebody mentioned this yet (lazy to read the comments), but the numbers on the their jerseys show their position in the team. 1 to 8 are the forwards (scrummage pack). 9 is the scrumhalf, sorta like the quarterback in football. He's the link between the forwards and the back line players. 10 to 14 are the runners, usually the fastest players on the team. They form a slightly diagonal line behind the forward pack and wait for the ball from the scrumhalf to run it. The whole team plays this way, i.e. always stay behind the ball-carrier, thus the ball-carrier always knows that there is somebody left and right to pass to (not pitch as you call it). And finally, 15 is the fullback, sorta like the safety in football.
About the rules...... you were curious about a few plays in this and a previous video......
Tackle ball situation - when a players is tackled to the ground and held in the tackle, he must release the ball, i.e. he can not longer handle the ball in anyway. That being said, during the tackle the player does have the opportunity to make a final play before the tackle is over. Thus players going down in the tackle passing the ball to their teammates, or a tackle in front of the goal line, where the player can, in one action, stretch and ground the ball over the line to score a try.
If a player is tackle, but not held, and can get to his feet in the momentum of the tackle, i.e. sliding or rolling back onto his feet, he may continue to play. But if the player is tackle and not held, but has been stopped from further actions, the tackled player must release the ball, get back onto his feet without the ball, then the player may pick up the ball and continue to play.
The 'chip and chase' - As you correctly assumed, in rugby, unlike football, you may not touch, tackle or obstruct a player without the ball. The 'chip and chase' is a good tactic to beat an opponent coming from the front to tackle you. the idea behind it is to chip it over the opponent's head. Not only can the opponent no longer tackle you, but also if you are coming at speed, that opponent needs now to turn around and try to chase you down, which in most cases is almost impossible. That's why you see so many tries coming from it.
Also, not only can the kicker grab the ball, but any player in your team, as long as they were next to or behind the kicker at the time of the kick.
You also call them lateral passes, well not exactly only lateral. The passes may only be made to players next to you or behind you so, sometimes the passes are lateral, but most times they are backward from the person passing. Forward passing is not allowed, only kicks, and I already explained the basic rules about that.
Hope this helps give you little more insight to the game.
Keep up the videos. They're great to watch.
thanks
I smiled at All Black, I guess that's his team. Bless her. The Greatest and Most Dominant Rugby Team or Sports Team. They are special.
Truly special I look forward to learning about them
If you look back at great NFL players Jonah Lomu reminds aficionados of Jim Brown (1957-65 Cleveland Browns) "the greatest back of all time"
Hi, I'm from New Zealand and thought you might want to check out the Black Ferns, a WOMEN'S national rugby & rugby leaque teams. They hit just as hard if not sometimes harder
Lomu was the greatest winger to have ever played rugby union gone before his time was due. 941 is the number of his selection to represent New Zealand
people maybe have explained this already after 6 months but I will try and explain a bit about Rugby. There are actually 2 codes of Rugby, Rugby League and Rugby Union, the codes vary in rules and how you play each. Seeing as what you are watching here is Rugby Union I will concentrate on the rules of that. In Union the aim of the game is to carry the ball over the try line (American Football equiviant to the Endzone). Unlike American Football where you only have to run the ball over, in Rugby you have to place the ball down. You score 5 points for scoring a try. It is semi important where you ground the ball over the tryline as you have a conversion kick when you score a try, like you do in American Football when you run over the endzone. Reason it is important is because you take the conversion level to where you grounded the ball, so if you ground it under the sticks, or posts, obviously you have an easier kick than if you grounded it near the sidelines as the angle and distance is harder. You get an additional 2 points for a conversion. There are 2 other ways of scoring which are penalty kicks (worth 2 points) and drop goals (worth 1 point), there are also penalty tries, which is when you have been fouled and prevented from scoring a obvious try, but they are very rare and score as a normal try. When a foul has been committed, depending on the infringement, you can have a scrum (where the 2 sets of forwards lock together and push each other as a player puts the ball in from the side and they have to kick the ball out of the back of the scrum to continue the game. If it is a penalty they have choice to kick for penalty (2 points if successful) or gain ground by kicking the ball upfield out of bounds on the sideline. The latter results in them having a lineout at the point where the ball crossed the line but the ball most not have touched the floor when it was kicked out otherwise the lineout is taken level with where the kick was taken. A lineout is when a player throws the ball in to 2 lines of players who compete for the ball by jumping in the air to catch it. You are only allowed to tackle the man/woman with the ball, there are a few rules on how you can tackle but basically those are for safety reasons as as you saw they don't have much protection. The ball must be passed backwards, although you can kick it forwards for you or your team to catch as long as all players of the team with the ball are behind the kicker when he kicks it. The one way of scoring I mentioned that I haven't explained are drop goals or drop kicks. These can happen at any point during the match and is when the player kicks the ball between the uprights (sticks) during live play. These normally happen towards the end of a match if the scores are level or close, and as I said before, you score 1 point. Each half lasts 40 minutes plus any added time if necessary. I think that should have confused you enough lol, but seriously once you start watching it and getting into it the rules and plays are not any more confusing as your American football rules which I only know partially :P
Friend of mine got me into rugby. Love the sport. Follow a few Rugby Union leagues around the world. Watch the best 3 minutes in Rugby video. Example of the open play it can be.
Lomu LEGEND!!!!!
*GOAT*
Love the reaction check out till I collapse
thank you! and I will have to take a look
This was a really good reaction
Love the reaction could you react to rugby hits till i collapse
thank you for watching. ill have to take a look!
Yesss! A good vid
You can play the ball until its knocked forward or the other team takes it away. You only stop when there is a foul otherwise you keep on playing and that's what makes it the best sport.
As a Australian Wallaby fan he was a nightmare! No one comes close!
Homegrown for yourself, Allure, are the fastest men in rugby. They are specialists in the abridged version, 7-a-side rugby. Carlin Isles and Perry Baker. You may fancy checking them out. Well worth it, the two more exciting players in the more exciting version of rugby.
JONAH in the NFL.....with blockers would’ve been like handing candy to a baby......he would’ve been prolific scoring touchdowns at will and with ease.......without blockers he is still dangerous...but with them he is a whole new BEAST!.....no one would’ve stopped him....and he would’ve won ring after ring if he had gone to Dallas!! - True Story......
There are certain players that become legends for rugby fans all over the world, and Jonah Lomu is without doubt top of the list. Others include Gareth Edwards, Jean-Pierre Rives, and Dan Carter. Please do check them out - you won't regret it!
Jonah was a freaking truck. You get in his way on the field and he'll run you over like a Prius. Off the field the man was a gentle giant, a teddy bear and always had time for the kids in the neighbourhood. I watch a documentary about him and anything to keep the kids off the streets and away from gangs, he was involved in. A true man of the people.
Not a ruby watcher but tbh this video I’m here for u cause idk shit about rugby lol but keep it up 😳
whatever keeps you coming back! lol thank you 😉
Yeah, RIP legend, Lomu was the first of a new breed of player! kinda like 200 pounds (not sure of weight in this measurement) and could run the hundred meters in like 11 seconds. massive, fast, astonishing and the first rugby superstar!! :))))
He was the definition of great!
I love your hair!!
You weren't sure about what 941 meant.
All Blacks are numbered. It started in 1884 with all Black number 1 and we are now up to 1181.
Johan was AB number 941
Johan was so exciting to watch. At 195cm and 118kg he was so strong and could run 100 metres in 10.7 seconds.
A beast on the field and a gentleman off it.
One off our greats.
Thanks for your input and the love its appreciated
Rest Easy Big Man
Jonah is the goat in Rugby, RIP 🙏 Jonah.
In rugby, touchdown means Touch Down. If you don't place it on the ground there is no score. You can only tackle the person holding the ball. To move the ball forwards you can either carry it or kick it. If you pass (throw) it to another player, that player must be behind you - you can't pass forwards. I think that is probably all you need for now.
From NZ our country is the best in the world at this sport
+Errol Tumarae really!? Well that's great! Im enjoying watching and learning
I begged to differ ....bokke bokke ! Elton janjkites is the best EVER ! lol
You should check out Fuifui Moimoi. He’s another star in Rugby League. An older version of Jason Taumalolo.
