Rugby players do wear protection: almost everyone on the field wears a mouth guard.
and the odd few have a scrum cap for those who care to much about the ears lol

So now you can understand why American Football doesn't travel well over seas, British people at least, cannot get accustomed to the constant stopping and starting.
No one else in the world likes the constant starting and stopping in American sports.
And all the fancy dress that goes with it,,,mind u ide gladly watch cheerleaders in rugby
@@sparkiegaz3613 At halftime, or during the actual game? Coz I may want to look at them, but I don't want distractions...
@@sparkiegaz3613 If I go to a sports event I want to see sport, not dancers filling in all the time when there is no sport to see, which sadly is a huge percentage of the time.
my only issues with american sports, are commercials and its global ignorance
One of the reason I can’t get through American Football matches is the constant stopping and starting. In rugby they never stop and it’s so much more exciting for it.
It seems to be getting like that unfortunately though... I get its mostly for safety, but the list of reasons for the ref to blow the whistle seems to grow all the time.
that's what I like in American Football lol :)
Same, I tried for a year when Jarrod Hayne went over to the 49ers. But damn! The match just went on and on and on and on… and nothing was happening except in 3 seconds bursts. Half the time I missed the action because there was so much nothing I ended up doing something else.
Rug y pretty much goes for 40 mins each half, and the ‘stoppages’ aren’t anything like American Football.
Honestly it was a waste of time watching lol. I’d get more from a short highlights package then watching hours of that. I’d rather watch soccer! And that’s saying a lot 😂
Exactly this. I've only watched a couple of American Football games and it agitated me! They barely start playing before they're stopped. It happens way too much. Rugby is exhilarating to watch and brutal at times! The athleticism these guys have is everything.
All American sports is like this.. guess it's so they can run commercials and sell hotdogs
That wasn't Russia vs Japan at 6:10, it was South Africa i.e. one of the greatest rugby nations being beaten in the last second of a World Cup match by Japan, at the time not considered a particularly good side. It was especially amazing as a minute before, Japan had the chance to basically do an easier play and draw the match, but they decided to take the risk of losing and played for the win. An incredible match from start to finish and one of the biggest upsets in sporting history!
Not South Africa's proudest moment!
I loved watching that game. One of the best and most emotional games ever - as a true minnow beat a powerhouse. Of course being a kiwi watching the boks get beaten like that was just extra thirlling.
Paul, Paul, Paul .....
Just accept it that we THE SPRINGBOKS are the best.
At least you are not as bad as the Aussies.
If you want I'll send you some tissues.....😂😂😂😂
@@paulprice1705being a Saffa almost wept! 😂
See what I mean...there we go again...but Springboks ARE THE BEST...end of story.
Jonah Lomu (RIP) an athletic freak and master of the Maori sidestep (running through the tackler not around them)
'an athletic freak' that' what his mum used to call him too.
And to think he did all whilst not at 100% cos of kidney disease, the man will forever be the GOAT
I remember seeing him for the first time in the 1995 RWC and going WTF?! Never seen anything like it..
Hi is a god
He was a human freight train with the agility of a rabbit. One of a kind.
The sudden realisation that American "football" is not as good as they think.
😂😂😂
American football should be called throw ball. The clue is in the name… foot-ball, which involves the feet connecting with the ball!!

The Rock did say Rugby was the hardest game he has ever played
@@mista2621 the rock says, the rock says……
One of the best things that rugby has over NFL, is that when you leave college/university you don't have to give the game up. As far as I can tell, there are no amateur teams in the US. After college, if you are not drafted, you basically have to give up the game altogether. In rugby, people play in hundreds of clubs all over the countries that play, until they want to retire. But there is nothing that forces them to give it up.
I can only imagine the deep sadness of not being drafted, finishing college and knowing that you just played your last game ever.
well theres the canadian football league, also the USFL which is like the second tier of American football in the US, then theres a few minor leagues.
a USFL player will make around 50k a year so, still you can make a living i guess.
But in rugby pretty much every town has an amateur league where you can play for fun in organised competitions and leagues.@@Writeous0ne
About the scoring - a rugby score is actually literally a 'touch-down', you need to put the ball on or behind the white line with downward pressure - most slide in, to not lose the ball but you can just put it down pressing downwards on the grass...and you can only convert your score in line with the angle from where you touched it down, so best is to score as close as possible to the posts/uprights
The best thing in this video is the when the guy commented, "We get it. You've got free health care" haha
My taxes say it's not free...

Yes, constant running. There are less concussions in Rugby, because players actually know how to tackle and not lead with their heads like football players.
As a Rugby Fan, that has recently started watching NFL, it certainly seems that the pads and helmets inspire too much confidence and a more reckless (often less effective) style of tackling by just throwing your body at your oponent.
Was Just about to explain this very point
Its more that the pads and the helmets in American Football are used as weapons. I had this debate before with people, when you start using the pads as weapons, it changes the whole dynamic of the tackle (for the worse).
Rugby tackles are completely different from those in American football. Football tacklers only have to knock the ball carrier off his feet whereas rugby tacklers have to take him down by wrapping him up enough that he can't get back on his feet and keep carrying the ball. No such thing as being 'down by contact'.
@@philipleaning9355 Right but it's literally easier to just tackle the rugby way with good technique than it is to try and bring someone 'down by contact'. From what I can gather the actual reason is that you have such an absurd obsession with the advantage line and refusal to give even the slightest gain in yards that you have more people than not basically risking missing a tackle and giving up a first down or a touchdown in order to save one or two yards, even when it's 3rd and ducking 10. It's the same reason laterals aren't utilised as much as they should. There isn't a decent reason, it basically boils down to literally everyone being like "uuuuhh just cos, that's why". NFL badly needs their Billy Beane to come and fix some of this dumb shit. I actually don't mind the stop and start aspect of it. What makes it unwatchable for me is what I just highlighted, the literal refusal to update tactics/techniques and ya know, THINK. Idk if you've played contact sports but trying to line up someone and dive in to them at full speed and actually hit them is really, really fucking hard compared to planting yourself in front of them, grabbing their legs and falling back.
"They just keep going" - that realisation was hilarious. They need to watch 32 phases on the try line with a turnover or unforced error on the 33rd phase!
That would be torturous 🤣🤣
Otherwise known as the Leicester Tigers pre Borthwick
The Seattle Seahawks actually studied rugby tactics in order to reduce concussions a few years ago. The theory is, similar to bare knuckle boxing, is that the more padding you add to a player - the more risks you're willing to take and therefore more injuries. It kinda adds up.
I remember a rugby player walked on the pitch wearing American football shoulder pads the ref sent him off 🤣
Rugby gams are amazing, mixed crowds, taking the piss out of each other. With no threat of violence. With shit loads of beer.
Lol i love it aye
And the culture; home team hosting the away team for a feed and beers after. Top stuff.
COVID really messed with my rugby in 2020. I think i'll try to go to Bloodfest in Austin
Rugby is a gentlemans game Sir ...
Best atmosphere. , great crowds
Love this sport and love your reactions. Your genuine admissions of knowledge gaps, your willingness to laugh and learn, and your positivity are refreshing. Also, kudos for your forays in soccer, too.
No such thing as soccer. It's called FOOTBALL for a reason.....FEET are used
@@adypendlebury3975 “football was named that way to distinguish it from sports played on horseback. Rugby is also a type of football
@@adypendlebury3975 except they also wear soccs
In order to score a try, the player needs to actually touch the ball to the ground in what you'd call the 'endzone'. That is why the players dive into the end. Where they touch the ball to the ground is where the conversion kick is taken from, so they aim to try and get the 'try' as central to the posts as possible to make the angle of the kick easier.
In the early days of rugby, the conversion was worth more points than the try. The "try" got its name because when the ball was touched down, you got to "try" to kick a goal. People realised that it was harder to score a try than it was to kick a goal, and the points system was changed to make a try worth more points than a conversion
@@billymac23454 Well, you learn something new every day (hopefully). Thanks!
Also the reason the kick is called a conversion is that a successful kick converts the try into a goal. That terminology isn't used any more though. Only dropped goals are referred to as goals.
Jonah Lomu is a phenomenon we'll sadly never see again...270 pounds of whipcord muscle moving like a frigging sprinter...
The incident shown here was in the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa when New Zealand played England in the semi finals. Mike Catt was the fullback that Jonah Lomu ran over.... He'll never live that moment down.
As an England fan it was devastating to watch Lomu take us apart but wow..... what a player 👏
As an England supporter I remember the round of applause Jonah Lomu got from the big screens in Hyde Park and all the local pubs.
We'd been beaten, but also seen a magical sporting memory In The making
@@necessaryevil3428 As a french, he crushed us quite a few times too but as you said... quite a player. RIP Jonah. Rugby fans will never forget you!
I remember the first time I saw Jonah play, it was an amazing experience, he was a force of nature.
6:55 "That's Russia versus Japan" Nope - RSA - Republic of South Africa
And they are like the top 3 counteies3in the world, current world champs
South Africa are current World Cup holders. The game shown here was the game in the World Cup in England when Japan, under Eddie Jones as coach, beat South Africa for the first and only time they have done so. It made headlines because it was in the World Cup and they were written off, and South Africa completely underestimated them.
I was there!
What that Japanese try represented was a small college football team beating a Brady led Patriots
Prior to that match, Japan had won 1, drawn 2 of their 24 World Cup matches.
They then won 7 of the next 9 beating top teams such as South Africa, Ireland, Scotland and Samoa (twice). In the 2019 World Cup they won all their group matches and qualified for the finals.
Thanks so much for having a go at British sport and culture in general. Respect!
I suggest they watch cricket 🤣🤣🤣
It's more popular in the US than many think. I have a pal in New Mexico who played rugby in college. I was in Aspen in Sept 1998, on a Saturday, and there were two rugby games, about half a mile away from each other, being played at the same time. The USA have been the reigning Rugby Union Olympic Champions since the 1920's which was the last time it was played for medals.
Jonah Lomu - The greatest rugby player of all time. When he received the ball, generally speaking, you were never gonna stop him. Gone too soon. RIP.
The guy who literally walked over the other guy to get the try,was Jonah Lomu, he was 6'5, 139KG,and could run 100M in 10.7. He passed away in 2015 from from a heart attack due to Kidney failure.
😔🙌
Mike Catt, a fine Rugby player, whom Lomu trampled underfoot asks that you don't name him as the "other guy" :-)
Back in his pomp ('95 or so) the Dallas Cowboys were seriously looking at him. Monster of a player.
Sad news, chum, very sad indeed-my condolences.
119 kg .. keep the legend honest
A try is like a touchdown, the biggest difference is that you actually have try to touch the ball down on the ground to score, unlike a touchdown that no one ever touches down. Originally a try never actually scored any points, the act of touching the ball down over the opponents line actually only gave you the opportunity to "try" to kick a goal and score some points. these days you get points for the try plus the opportunity to try to kick a goal (conversion) as well
When the kick is taken, it’s taken from directly back from where you touched down-they want it as close to the centre of the uprights for angle. You don’t want it 20’ either side, much harder kick.
Sorry Paul K, that's not right. 'Try' stands for 'three' - it used to be 3 points for a touch-down, now it's 5
@@ricellisfrost620 No you need to check your history, originally when rugby was first played you did not score anything for a try touching the ball down over the line gave you the chance to kick for points. This is the origin of TRY touching down gave you a TRY to kick for points. this soon changed and then you scored 1 point for a try (it was still called a try even then long before anyone thought about 3 "tri " points)and 2 for a conversion.. it was then increased to 2 points for a try and 3 for a conversion. It was only in 1893 a try was changed to 3 points for a try and 2 for a conversion and it was called a try long before that. later it changed to 4 for a try then later still 5 for a try. A penalty used to be 2 but was later changed to 3 points.
How do I know this, well in the words of Max Boyce because "I WAS THERE".
obviously I wasn't really there, just wanted to get the Max Boyce reference in.
@@paulknox999 Well Paul, it seems I stand corrected. I see your explanation repeated across the internet, so it must be true :-) Cheers
@@paulknox999 tnx for info,always wondered why they name it a try and team celebrates so that adittional kick was the key to score any points...now it makes sence
As an Englishman, it's so satisfying, when Americans realise how savage the UK is 🤣
English man giving a shout out to the Aussies and the Kiwis etc 💪🏉💪
“We get it, you’ve got free health care” hahaha. Genius. Although it’s a hard played game, players are taught to tackle in a way that (theoretically) shouldn’t damage them too much. Kids start playing between 5-7 years in the uk (I think it’s similar ages in other countries too). No messin’. Football is a gentleman’s game played by thugs, rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen. Please react to the best rugby ref ever, Nigel Owens (mahoosive players mumbling apologies to 5’8” boss).
Fatal mistake watching Rugby, if you’re all about American Football.
Rugby is very similar. Except faster paced. Except non stop action. Except more intense. You’ll struggle to go back to the NFL now.
As an european, i've tried NFL once, the superball just to give it a try. Man after one hour I was sleeping.... nothing happens, ever. You wait for i don't know how long, and then they play for a few seconds, and you have to wait again ^^
And under the shirts is all muscle rather than padding
American football is a derivative of Rugby. When you cross the Try line, they dive to place the ball down. That's actually where the terminology "Touch Down" came from.
Also the concussion rate is a lot lower. If you aren't wearing pads and a helmet, you must use proper technique. Tuck your head on the right side etc..
Also... Thanks for the vid 👍🏾
No illusions of protection here so it's all technique
A few basics points:
Most of the team of 15 play a full 80 mins in two 40 min halves, there are subs
They dont need or get oxygen!
The heavy guys, called forwards, are 8 in a team, have avge weight 230-280lbs, are in a different fitness class to any American footballer
Tries are 5 pts, kicked conversions of the tries are 2 pts, kicked penalties and open play drop kicks (can be tried at any time if you are close enough, generally inside 50 yds), are 3 pts.
The longest penalty kickers with a dead ball will have a success rate of c.80%+ inside 50 yes, and they will be taken from where the offence happened, ie, from sideline to sideline, so could be at 45 degrees to the post
Enjoy!!.
Lomu. An absolute legend of the game. Responsible for making rugby a professional sport. A giant on and off the field. RIP Jonah. Gone but not forgotten.
Wait... agreed on everything but how was Lomu responsible for rugby becoming professional??
@@thomas_corbet as the teachers, dentists and farmers that practiced twice a week couldnt compete with a player like him.
@@Henry_Bergkamp yeah... I think you got your facts wrong.
Pro rugby "officially" started in England with Mike Catt being the first pro player in history. Didn’t have anything to do with Lomu.
@@thomas_corbet rugby turned professional in 1995 coincedently the year Lomu burst onto the scene. Mike Catt may have been the first orof player but the reality is that the prof era started with Lomu.
@@Henry_Bergkamp again, no.

Here.’s an idea boys.Put yourselves on the little screen and the two teams and the Ref on the big screen.Then we can all see what’s going on.Just a thought.
i 2nd that
😆
The issue with that is you then have a chunk of whatever you're trying to watch covered up, and something important may happen in that space.
Jonah Lomu - an absolute legend of the game. I’m pretty sure everyone who played against him saw their life flash before them seeing him coming at him. When the news first broke about his illness practically everyone in NZ got tested to see if they could donate a kidney to him.
Wow thank you for putting this information, it’s AMAZING to hear. Did he get his transplant?
Unfortunately he passed away far too young. An absolute legend of the sport. Michael Jordon/Muhammed Ali/Pele levels.
@@dannytonnessen6896 Yeah he did in 2004 but unfortunately he passed away in Nov 2015.
@@jacquimaclennan3254 I absolutely loved watching Jonah Lomu play. I remember seeing him on tv when he became ill and I couldn't believe it.
I'm English, not Kiwi and i think Lomu is probably the greatest ever. He is the reason i got interested in rugby. Legend isn't enough to describe him!!
The OMG reaction is how rugby fans felt the first time they saw Lomu. Incredible athlete.
Jonah lomu was that special that even all of us England fans watching him demolish us still applauded him and were heartbroken when he passed away
So my favourite quotes from you guys in this;
"If there was ever a video to make you feel out of shape, this is it" - this made me laugh.
"We get it, you got free healthcare. We will never have that here, we will always have pads" = I thought I was going to wet myself laughing.
Great vids guys, thanks.
Im from the U.K. a and played top level rugby through high school and college and it’s absolutely exhausting, I was a tight head prop and we played 80 mins, it was absolute hell but one of the most incredible sports ever , had to quit rugby after 9 + bad concussions over 7 years and yes you’re right . We don’t stop apart from fouls and ball going out of play, it’s insane !!! Loved the reaction btw
In the 1990s I was at the gym in Wellington, NZ. I was on the rowing machine and decided to try to outpace the little guy on the machine next to me. Then I looked across and saw it was Christian Cullen - the tryscorer at 14:54 . I stood up and walked away.
One of our best
Pound for pound one of the strongest All Blacks to ever play the game. In my opinion, the greatest All Black fullback. I used to hate watching him play against us (SA), but what a beautiful sight to see him glide across the paddock.
The All Blacks are awesome - controlled aggression combined will skill and speed. However how long will it be before the d heads start complaining about their name?
@@vancouverbob100 lol as soon as America get into rugby
@@vancouverbob100 they wont any time soon, because the rest of the world isnt quite as stupid as america
I've seen so many videos like yours, but what I like about you guys is that, even though you don't know that much about rugby, you aren't reacting like a lot of the ignorant NFL fans that I have seen before. Brilliant job guys I love your reactions!
Huge love to you guys. im a Kiwi (new Zealand) and this is out national sport and watching your appreciation of it make me smile
Sadly we lost Jonah Lomu far too young, a legend a beautiful human being. He will live forever in our hearts, not just us Kiwis.
Those hard pads and helmets and things are what cause the heavier injuries to a human body whilst protecting them at the same time. Only hard things to run into in Rugby Union are heads knees and elbows, and you learn how to keep your head safe during tackling.
A try is 4 points but then they get the full 6 if they get the kick through the goal post after the try. You can also get 2 points for a field goal. If your team has the ball you get six "plays" before it get turned over but on the 5th play they always kick it and if they can get possession of the ball again they get another 6 plays
@@TheAussieSamurai
Nice explanation of rugby league.
This however is rugby union.
Haha League and union will confuse the fcuk out of Americans...then add aussi rules and galic football lol
A try = 5 points
Conversion (kick after scoring a try) = 2 points
Penalty = 3 points
and a drop goal is 3 points.
also this is for rugby union. different from rugby league.
@@levi-samsontago419 We don't worry about Rugby League!
@@rocketrabble6737 im ok with that statement
Also the conversion is kicked in line with where the try was made . I.e if the try is made between the posts the ball would be placed infront making the conversion really easy . If the try is made in a corner the angle of the conversion is tighter
a converted try is called a goal
Just "Subscribed". Watched a few of yours and enjoyed them all! well played gents and a tip of the cap from Yorkshire.
Soccer is 22 men constantly feigning injury, Rugby Union is 30 men constantly feigning that they aren't injured.
I love it when tough-guy Americans realize that their national expressions of toughness (in this case American football) are not as tough as they thought.
Yeah - turns out that they're just big girls' party frocks!😉
As an ex player we had to learn to tackle safely, head positions etc..you can't take them above the shoulders..(high tackle) I think (my opinion only) that with helmuts they think they are safe but probably have neck and other injuries more than rugby.. Don't get me wrong concussions do happen, I never had one and I was part of the pack..so I was constantly tackling and being tackled. I played at club and university.. Love your reactions 💜. I played rugby union, there is also rugby league.. Some of your clips will be showing a mix of both...
They use their helmet to hit. Without a helmet you don't do that. I played too, hooker and prop, and only once I have a head to head collision, obviously not planned. But in NFL they do it many times. Yellow flag? Bah.
Yeah not having a strong helmet and body armour, you know a lot more about the tackle. I'd argue that American football players could improve their game by adopting more rugby style tackling. The whole style of tackling is designed to bring players down to the ground.
Also look up tap tackles, a beautiful skill when pulled off
@@stuie382 Tackling is a technical thing. Imagine a 300 pound man coming straight to you at his max speed. You only weight 210, what do you do? A good tackle. "Se placa ABAJO" they teach me. ·You have to tackle DOWN. In that situation, put your shoulder below their knees and he will fall.
@@victorjba ua-cam.com/video/ck8VgxbuXE8/v-deo.html
What you say is true for head to head, but a significant amount of tackles are side on though? Definitely true for rugby, and for a lot of NFL if the QB gets the pass away?
@@stuie382 Well, I was a forward (the fats) and most of the situations are head to head, fat men don't try to escape, they lower their shoulder and go straight, using their weight and their strenght. If you have to tackle by the side or by the back you have a problem, your opponent is breaking the line of defense. And side tackles are easier to make than frontal tackles. In the open field there are more side tackles because the backs try to escape using their speed
The player at 6:00 is the legendary Jonah Lomu, who played for the New Zealand All Blacks. He's not with us anymore, sadly passing away in 2015 but he was known for almost never getting tackled - he just kept on going.
Hello chaps, from London.
I was always a bit too small to play rugby, but I played football (soccer, to you).
Even for my style of play, I was too small.
I should have been a Baggio, or a Zola, but my feet weren't skillful.
But I was fast as f&ck, and was happy to put my body on the line.
And I grew up in Twickenham, in earshot of the stadium - the home of Rugby.
And I grew up watching defensive play from Italian football, & rugby.
And this French rugby player defined my play. He was a giant & a monster, & I translated his rugby into my teenage soccer.
I was the smallest, but the hardest player on the pitch, because I learnt from watching this guy.
I never got booked, and my opposition always respected me, and my teammates were happy that I was on their side.
Being an under-sized central defender, amongst tall opposition forwards, it was Chabal's full-on physicality, and Paolo Montero (Uruguan soccer central defender) , and Moreno Torricelli (Italian left back) that I learnt that I could stop anyone that came up against me.
I was a terrible footballer, but a really efficient stopper. You couldn't get past me.
ua-cam.com/video/8akRA4muQAw/v-deo.html
SEBASTIAN CHABAL
I haven't found good enough videos of Montero or Torricelli that show their play to the right respect, but here's some CHABAL, that I hope you'll enjoy, to understand rugby, and the mindset of someone that will destroy their body for the team and for the win.
Thats why, after waiting up to watch my first Superbowl a few years back, I had to turn it off after a half hour, couldnt believe all the interruptions.
Especially when used to fast paced Rugby
Old enough, to have looked forward to the first ever tv transmission of the superbowl, beamed live to our tv sets at whatever'o'clock it came on during the night. Came in from the pub, offie-takeaway.
''When is it ever going to start?'' became 'When ever is it going to end?'
I'd love to see one of those NFL stars like JuJu or OBJ actually try to play rugby to see if they would still dance after taking a hit by a 120kg prop without any padding or helmet to protect them...
Juju’s favourite sport is rugby, but he picked the nfl as it’s more money
@@meirionlloyd6549 I once saw a promo for a Rugby tour of the USA. The first photo was of NFL plyers with the helmets and all the padding, and caption read "when boys play football" the next photo was of a rugby player, blood streaming from his ear, black eye, shirt stripped and all together a bit worse for wear and the caption read "when men play football"
@@terryjeisman7550 That is a pity posters like that do nothing for the game. The "me tarzan" idea is a total load of nonsense. Two totslly different games. I would love it if macho crap of how brutal rugby is would stop. Time to post some 10 year olds playing. Make no mistake NFL dudes do not train tha same as rugby likewise rugby players train for extended play so the stop start would be a huge disadvantage for rugby players however I recon if Nfl trained more like rugby things would be different. Having said that why would you want a NFL linebacker to run for 80 minutes his job is to be an brickwall. Two different sports completely!
@@terryjeisman7550 .... 🤦🏻♂️
bwahahaha watching your face when the lineout happened was gold (17 ins in). Pure GOLD!
Guys, Rugby is a thing in the US. The USA national team is ranked 17th in the world and they compete in the rugby World Cup every four years.
You may also be interested to know that there is no supporter segregation during the match. Opposing fans sit together usually with a beer in their hands and after the game they party in the same bars. At the end of the match, both teams line up forming a tunnel, and applaud the other team as they walk off. This is the tradition. After knocking the crap out of each other for 80 minutes, both teams will share a drink and a meal later. Respect for each other and the game of rugby is huge. It’s all about the love of the sport and not just the love of one particular team.
The vast majority of rugby players around the world are amateurs, however, the elite international players that you see in these clips are professionals. Rugby players are also the most accessible professional athletes anywhere. Freely sharing time with supporters and often found in the bars after the game. Rugby is a global brotherhood. Dave -Scotland.
You're learning fast.
Gotta give respect to the GOAT, Jonah Lomu, even though he destroyed us (England) many times... Nobody stopped the great man.
As big as American footballers, but almost no padding.
Yep, the world feared Jonah as they rightly should have, so did the South Africans. However they denied him a try in the 1995 final which was no mean feat to say the least.
Jonah Lomu never scored against South Africa
Even though I respected Jonah Lomu. Realise he never scored against the Springboks, both Joost vd W'huizen and Japie Mulder tackled him properly in the '95 final.
A try, like others have said, is like a touchdown. It scores 5 points. You then get a chance to convert from a kick for an extra 2 points.
It's called a try because, in the olden days, you never used to get a point for it. All it would do is allow you to have a "try" at goal from the kick conversion.
I never knew that, cheers
you also need to realise that the Conversion Kick is generally taken from the 22 meter line, but in line from where the try is scored. If you score a try under the posts, you get an easier lick in front. If you score in the corner, you get a harder kick.
Also, In Rugby, your Kicker is part of the team. There are no special Teams in Rugby. The try at 13:59, by Carter, was followed by the same player making the Kick. He also directs the Backline, So I gues he's also the Quarterback. (I was at that game, in the crowd)
It is called a try because it used to be worth three points.To get the guys to score more trys and make the more interesting they upped the score to five points.
You are correct. A try is like a touch down, but you must place the ball down.
When there is a break down, as long as the attacking team has the ball in a break down and still going forward, you can still use the ball.
As for padding, we have had some players come out with broken necks and one or two actually die.
We also have women's rugby and one of the best players is a women named Porcher Williams
@@jasontamanui5857 I get the feeling that the word "touchdown" comes from the fact that in all codes of rugby (and American football is a a derivative of rugby), you must literally touch the ball down at the end zone for a score to be counted.
One of the more enjoyable and authentic reactions.
Three basic rules to rugby: you can only tackle the man with the ball; you can only pass backwards; and you must stay ‘onside’ i.e. your side of an imaginary line which moves with the ball.
Hi Gents, from what I hear in the UK , once you finish playing in High School in the USA, if you don't play in College there are very few outlets to play Adult " Football " at a " semi-professional " or amateur level, am I correct ? In the UK, there are over 2,000 Rugby Clubs who field up to 5 teams each weekend where you can play at a standard that suits you. The game at the top level is seriously professional, but also there are many who work 9-5, train once or twice a week and then play and have a few beers afterwards.
At any level, the game is physical, and its ethos is based on RESPECT ..... Respect for the game, your opponents and the referee .. you will see players from opposing teams buying each other drinks in the Clubhouse, less than half an hour after battering the s**t out of each other on the pitch ! ( An aspect of the game I suspect you two Gents would enjoy !! )
I'm 57 and long retired, but my oldest and best friends all go back to my Rugby days, some for over 40 years. We used to talk about fast cars and pretty girls, now it's more knee replacements and Grand-children, but such is life !!
It's the 3rd game in the UK after Soccer and Cricket, but in South Africa and New Zealand it's virtually a religion ! Enjoyed your video, and keep safe and well ..
Ditto. Couldn't have put it better.
@Donald Sinclair As ever, never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a golden ray of sunshine .... only kidding !!
Rawshri - it's 'the religion' in Wales, Rugby is, and when you think about small size of Wales and that there are fewer people living there than in London, the fact that Wales is up there with England, France and NZ, RSA and Aus in the league tables, it's amazing. Speak of punching well above their weight ...
Its NOT a Religion? Bloody hell , nobody told me!
My cousin spent some time studying in California a few years back. He said there's quite a strong Expat Rugby society growing on the West coast. He was sharing a "rugby" house with a bunch of Aussies/Saffas and regularly played matches against other clubs.
I like watching usmlr(US major league rugby), it's cool because it's a mixture of ex pros joining up with young guys and a lot of players from around the world.
Interestingly, there are as many rugby players in the USA as there are rugby players in NZ. The USA could be a rugby powerhouse if more resources were devoted to it.
Okay guys. I'm an American who started playing Rugby in 1978 at Mississippi State University. Since then, I've played the game all over the US, in Korea, Kuwait, UAE, and England. So, as an American convert, I'll clue you in. A Try is 5 points. Crossing the goal line doesn't count. The ball must receive downward pressure from the hand, arm, or upper body in the try zone to count. A conversion, which is taken straight out from the point where the ball is touched down in the Try Zone, is two points (think PAT). The goal posts are on the goal line (like the NFL years ago, and the CFL today) and a kick (penalty kick, or a drop kick during open play) through the posts are 3 points. As for injuries, there are far less injuries in Rugby and far, far fewer concussions. With no helmet, you protect your head. Also, tackles above the chest are illegal and will get you ejected from the game, and your team plays short a man (like in soccer, sort of. A yellow card is 10 minutes, a red card is for the whole game and leads to a judicial review).
Just found your videos recently, and you're reactions are so genuine and funny. As a South African, where rugby is as close to a religion as any sport can get, just the fact that you show respect for the toughness of the game, makes me like you guys even more.
Won't comment on American football, because as you can imagine, it's not big here at all. You will get your ass kicked if you run on a rugby pitch with that amount of padding on.
Love your reactions and videos
I really like watching reaction videos of Americans watching Rugby... and you guys are the best 🤘 Free health care 😂 new subscriber here from Wales 🏴
It's one of the things I love about watching rugby (though admittedly find tough when I play) is the continuous play - phase after phase after phase of relentless attack. It's much more exciting that football (soccer) because you don't have the option to sit and aggressively defend when you have the lead (or when a man's been sent off), you have to keep pushing forward and attacking because if you don't, the other team will.
The umpteen-phases thing is especially exciting (read: heart-attach inducing) as a Scot - we seem to specialise in always having our phase count in the teens
You convert a try when you ground the ball on the other side of the opposing team's goal line. But you have to do it with your hands on the ball, it's not a try if the ball just lands there.
A try is worth 5 points and allows you to kick to the posts, if the ball passes through the middle of them they are two extra points.
In addition to those points you have penalties, if a team commits an infraction, the judge sanctions a foul and the beneficiary may or may not choose to kick the posts, if he hits it is 3 points. Or they can also kick the posts during normal play, and that's also worth 3 points.
It's a joy to see the realisations about a sport that is an absolute pleasure to play and watch
Rugby in america is called ' MLR , Major league rugby .. San Diego legion is my favorite team
As an English man I'm looking for an American team to support. What you recommend?
Niice. Be cool to look into that
C'mon Rugby ATL
With the magnificent Chris Robshaw playing for them, what’s not to like? 🙂
@@willfoster578 next year they get the Irish hooker I forget his name
Concussions is a bit of a problem in rugby but its not as common as in American Football. The rules around dangerous collisions (that cause concussions and broken necks particularly) is updated regularly and enforced quite strictly. This means that generally speaking there is a big emphasis on tackling technique.
Last time I checked, no spearing or chopping, nothing above the neck or below the knees
In American Football, for a "touch" down the ball needs to be in the endzone in the hands of the scoring team. In Rugby, for a try the ball actually has to be touched down. In rugby the ball must be passed backwards. The "field" goal posts are just called goal posts - Another fun fact - I'm actually in the video in one of the teams
Always great watching outsiders witness our culture, keep it up lads.
Thw world needs to be like this...sharing each others cultures instead of fighting...great video guys...from a football (soccer) fan in Scotland who was at a Dodgers game and enjoyed it many years ago.
You will be pleased to know that rugby has come to your shores! and is doing quite well, a long way to go but it's there mate.
One of the most iconic moments in sport was when the South African Captain Francois Pienaar was presented the Rugby World Cup trophy (at home, they won it in South Africa) in 1995, by Nelson Mandela.
In summary fellas, run for 80 minutes, take full physical contact, pass the ball backwards and understand hundreds of rules. Rewind to the 70s and we had punches and fights too. Watch Jason Robinson if you want to instant speed and agility.
First time I've seen your channel guys and I loved your reactions. Rugby is played all over the world and America really ought to be a part of that with your resources. I'm not sure who would pay the hospital bills though. They're all free over here in England.
iv played rugby for 20 years and I love seeing american football fan's enjoy it, best sport in the world
there's actually less injuries in general and very rarely are there serious injuries because rugby players get taught how to tackle properly, not only to protect themselves but the person they're tackling. Also with the "High Tackle" rule you aren't allowed to hit the head with shoulder, arm etc. So there's actually a lot less CTE cases in rugby.
Saw USA play England recently. An English player went over the try line to score. An American tried to tackle him but only managed to rip his shorts and jock strap off so as the ball hit the ground all you could see was a massive bare arse 😂
"it'd be a damn blood bath" an understatement in rugby history. 😛
the thing about rugby players is that they are build like tanks but still has the speed of Olympic sprinters.
Glad you guys liked it; it is a wonderful game that you will appreciate so much more once you get someone to explain the fundamentals of the game.
I think I've watched this 6 times now. Doesn't get old!
No a "try" isn't a goal. It gives the opportunity to kick the ball between the goal posts. Johnny Wilkinson was one of the best for transforming a try into a goal, from very difficult angles.
I have never played rugby but im pretty sure I know the basics right:
- No protection is used in rugby but not all tackles are legal like in american football, and you can only tackel the player who has the ball
- The game doesnt stop if the ball touches the ground
- All passes need to be backwards
- You can kick the ball forward at any time
- To score you need to touch the ground with the ball while the ball is touching you at the same time
Yep, that's about right
Yup bang on except that when passing the ball it must not go forwards. Other than that you know the basics.
Close for sure.
There is protection but it's optional and far less 'armour' as it is a bit of padding in your base layer or a bit of tape around the ears to keep them 'pinned back' and out of harms way.
If the ball touches the ground outside the play area or has been dropped forwards then play does stop. The exception to this is 'playing the advantage' where a team is allowed to play on because their opponents dropped the ball forwards but they now have the ball. So we'll let you play on until there's no clear advantage.
Passes must not be forwards. That means a pass can go exactly sideways and be legal.
Kicking, yup, you got that one pretty much spot on.
To score a try, you must place the ball down over the try-line with constant contact. If the ball ever leaves your hand before it touches the ground it is considered 'dropped'. It must be your hand that is touching the ball, an arm or leg or head will not count.
Also points may be scored by kicking a penalty goal or a drop goal, neither of which involve the whole touching a ball down thing.
In Rugby Union there is no tackle count. They are called phases and if your team is good enough can control the ball through numerous phases. Each time a person is tackled to the ground they must release the ball, called a ruck. As long as the opposition come from their end of the field and not the side, they can steal the ball and the game continues. After the initial tackle, the referee will indicate that no hands can be used, so you can only 'ruck' the ball out using the studded boots.
If the player drops the ball forward it is called a knock-on. The forwards will hold a scrum. Ball gets rolled into the centre and the 2 packs push against each other to gain the ball. The tight 5 are specialist positions due to the risk of neck injuries. This is where I played. If the ball goes out then a line-out happens.
Play only stops if there is a penalty, knock-on, try, or ball out of bounds. Best game ever.
@@watkinsrory it can go forwards but not relative to the players who pass it. Usually when running a flat pass will travel forwards relative to the ground.
May I recommend the best of Nigel Owen. He's a rugby referee and legend of the sport. See how the game is managed on the pitch, it's very entertaining.
"I'm straighter than that line out" - what a man nigel owens is
Its a great selection of videos however, most of them a very situational. You need to appreciate that some are world cup finals, teams that haven't beaten their opponents in 100 years or more, big upsets, last minute tries to win finals. Only few of them are actually special team/individual tries. Would love to sit down and teach you!! haha. Keep learning, and watching Rugby is a complex but great sport! As a fan of NFL too, they are completely different and special in their own rights.
A football had a baby with a basketball - hah! Good description.
Lots of wonderful tries scored in this compilation but still for me the greatest try is the Barbarians against New Zealand. Phil Bennett with the side steps and Gareth Edwards finishing off the move. Utter brilliance.
Totally agree I can't understand why it was not included in the compilation. I had the privilege of watching it live; outstanding try. Well done for highlighting what I consider one of the greatest tries scored in top level rugby.
A try is the rugby version of a touchdown
No it isn't, a touchdown is the American version of a try!
@@stevemarks9360 An American educated me about the history of "Football" the other day ... they once did have to touch the ball down to score ... but it was during the days of very flimsy body armour and helmets, and there were pile-ups that caused serious casualities. So they made it that you just had to cross the line with the ball - no touching down needed.
@@stevemarks9360 QUITE RIGHT!!!
It's called a "try" as originally touching the ball down behind the score line was worth zero points but it gave you a "try" at kicking between the sticks, which was worth points
You comment that NFL linemen could not play rugby. Well, not as they are. 350 pounds is too big to run continuously for (up to) 5-7 minutes, non-stop. Slim down to 270/280 pounds of muscle and train for it, and they could be rugby forwards. That's about the size of many forwards these days.
"Im winded watching them" is the best comment I have heard in a long time. ;)
5 PTS for a try + 2 more for a conversion over the posts. 3 PTS for a drop goal, 3 PTS for a penalty goal. Where you touch down decides where the conversion is taken from (ideal is under the posts so the goal angle is less difficult). Best game best atmosphere on and off the pitch. Fans get on really well with opposition fans!! Love it!!
The diving over the try (think endzone) isn't just a custom. You have to ground the ball, either by touching it down if you're running with it, or if it's been kicked forward, by touching it on the ground, on or over the try line to score a try (for 5 points). The conversion (think extra point, but it's worth 2 points), is taken from any distance but in a direct line back from where the try was scored.
Where the ball is placed over the line is important too. It dictates where the chance of a conversion is kicked from. Extra points. Thats why you see them placing it between the posts if possible. Look at soe of the best conversion kicks too.
You can kick the ball forward because there is an eliment of unpradictability to its bounce so both teams have a shot at getting to it.
Less injuries in Rugby.
All the players have to be fit not just built like fridges to block. Over 200 countries play rugby so the world cup is hotly contested.
love yr passion brothers. from NZ 5 points for a try and 2 for a conversion and 3 for a penalty kick between the posts
Hehe, loved 1700 - wtf just happened??? A lineout (returning the ball to play after its "out of bounds") followed by a "chip ahead" - you can kick forward, but not pass hand-to hand forward. Great reactions guys!
love your reaction from a rugby fan perspective.
regarding the tackle, there are very strict rules, you can't do what you want.
Lomu the greatest player ever.R.I P.
A try is a touchdown, basically - but unlike a touchdown, you are actually required to touch the ball down.
Great to see some Americans actually looking into Rugby rather than palming it off as "just British Football". Totally different sport, glad you guys are enjoying it 👌
Still find the Sean O'Brien try at 2:45 as the best I've seen live. The work rate from an openside to make it from his 22 to score that beggars belief. Incredible.
Love your reactions guys, you should go and watch a game, its growing massively in the USA
I played rugby at school, I was a bit of a shorty but I could run. I took some knocks & bumps from lads with beards that my dentist still makes money from 47 years later.
On the adult & professional game it is much tougher. But there is rarely any conflict off the pitch.
"Here it is take the ostrich egg" ...BEST LINE EVer hahaha
There are actually three main types of rugby.
Rugby Union: This is probably the most popular form of the game, and is the one that you've been watching in this video. Often referred to as "A Hooligan's game played by Gentlemen" the basics are covered really well in this video - ua-cam.com/video/smnuRhNtT2E/v-deo.html.
Sevens Rugby: Has many of the same rules as full Rugby Union, although it's played by two teams of seven players. It has become increasingly popular since it became an Olympic sport, and many countries started taking it much more seriously, and it may interest you that the USA are one of the world's best teams atm. Games are short, and so tournaments such as the World Series are played over 2-3 days, making it a great tournament for spectators, and results in a real carnival (and often drunken) atmosphere. Here's a video of the basics - ua-cam.com/video/dhmj72KBRTY/v-deo.html.
Rugby League: Not as widely popular as Union, and is more of a crossover between American Football and Rugby Union. Basics here - ua-cam.com/video/vFwHtFJarhE/v-deo.html.
Personally, Union and Sevens are my preferred codes, never been a fan of League. :)
World series actually involves different countries competing against each other in knockout format.
So are you guys gonna give it a go? Give us that "Ross Geller" moment lol
They need to go 'Red Ross'.
Jonah Lomu. Good grief, what a legend!
Props for looking for new things lads, keepin an open mind 👍
To me the main difference is in rugby you only have 1 team for offense, defense and special plays, the team is then defined as "forwards" and "backs" with forwards generally being larger and stronger but not as fast or agile as the backs.
Its also alot stricter in terms of who and how you can tackle someone (only if they have the ball) and its generally a faster paced game, with less stoppages.
