As a European, I love football (Soccer) and of course, rugby. It may not seem like it, but rugby has a lot of strategy combined with power. You can even compare it to a game of chess! It's an addictive sport because even when you're not scoring, there's always a lot of action and it's the details in those moments that make the difference between winning and losing.
There is one thing about rugby that you don't see in many other sports and that's they don't argue with the ref. What he says goes. Football (soccer to our cousins across the pond) on the other hand a player falls over if a light wind passes him by and if the ref doesn't believe him he'll throw a tantrum and start arguing. Regby players seem to have a lot of respect for the ref.
sebastien chabal ( a french player) has many nickname but one of his biggest is "the caveman" he is not a very good player on the technical side BUT on the physical side he is a " beast" (the beast is another of his nickname)! even for his huge body build he is extremely quick and his strenght is "demonic"!
Eben Etzabeth isn't an enforcer, Bakkies Botha on the other hand is the classic enforcer. In the words of one of his coaches, ' Bakkies was put on earth to cause pain '
Bakkies was a reliability even in his time, no one knew how long he would be on the field before shown a card, the Boks simply progressed with the times and Etsabeth was a breathe of fresh air in comparison.
@tonic8945 i Dont agree with your commend. The reason behind this is that bakkies came before Eben and the rules was different back then. Eben is 100% an enforcer and bakkies was also the enforcer, they play the same role and Eben does the same job as Bakkies but Eben has more rules to apply to not to get carded. SA has always had great physical players but these two sole purpose is to hurt/intimate the other players. Both does and did a great job.
The guy who headbutted the player he had just tackled to the ground in the back of the head - Bakkies Botha - actually decided to retire from rugby because he realised with all the new rules and technology implemented into the game, he’d be sent off every single game.
Rudby is not for the weak or the fainted heart. Those dudes are made of steel. Tuisova is a terminator and Chabal is a savage beast. Chabal appears scary on the fields but out of it, he’s like a big teddy bear and a really sweet guy.
A lot of what you see these big guys do in these older clips is now illegal. As in throwing, body slamming and spear tackling (tackling somebody by lifting them beyond horizontal) because of the amount of head, neck, spine injuries and concussions it was causing. Many rules were introduced to make it more safe to play. There's actually a board that annually revises rules, makes up new rules and changes them.
People are always talking about the no protective gear, body slams and tackles but no one mentions the knocks to the head and stomping on your feet in rucks with . That hurts like hell too.

@@jermaineabrahams2483yes different body types for different jobs on the pitch. Rugby union has become more civilised never see fighting, or much foul play and game is much safer in the last 20 years. Rugby League a similar sport to Rugby Union but is brutal 💪🏻
The green uniforms with yellow trim are the Australian team and the Black is the New Zealand team. Looking forwards to NRL rugby in Australia - starting in March 2024.
Rugby is an awesome game. I played till I was 46, dislocated my shoulder tackling a tank on legs, shoved my shoulder back in, taped it up and finished the tournament. Still miss playing though. Best personal physical challenge there is in a sport.
I came from Ireland and played for NY in the first season of the MLR and it was literally all dudes that didn’t get picked at the NFL combines. Absolute physical specimens. USA will have a powerhouse of a team in years to come when it starts to gain more traction in the states!
Rugby man... That's why the French are so into it. It's "soccer" (for the popularity), "football" (because you occasionally kick the ball), but without all the commercial BC that the US added to the game. Basically, it's a "manly" form of "soccer". And then "culture"... The after-game is "reconciliation", usually at the local pub. And like that, as hard the match was, all is well. Yes so-and-so dunked "you" during playtime... But "he" is amongst the one paying for the beers that afternoon. Just sayin' Played "college" Rugby 7 years here in France. Best years of my life.
I played rugby in the 80's. Once. Knickers to that! I used to work with guys that played rugby at the weekend and they would come in on Monday with assorted bits missing. I'm happy playing golf! Mostly, you can play a round without being seriously injured. Apart from the odd 6 iron to the shoulder when you forget to shout 'fore'. Apparentely!
4:13 (Bakkies Botha) he's the original Enforcer, you should do a reaction on him. He'd literally slap anyone that steps up to him. He always looked for confrontation... ALWAYS!
You just profiled 2 of the very best #4 ever Eben and Bakkies both played for "my" team Toulon. So did Gorgo #8 and Tuisova "14. Toulon's now rebuilding but they are 3X European Champions. RCT! RCT! RCT!
I'm now 63 I played Rugby league tbf it's a right of passage for someone from Wigan.. My Son is now a coach at Westhoughton lions amateur club.. Incidentally they made club history on Saturday as they have qualified for the play offs first time in their history oh and btw my Grandson plays too and my grand daughter is now in training..My grandson binned his headgear as it made it too hard ro hear instructions or warnings .. sometimes ppe is not the right way.
Interesting story about Gorgodze he use to bring a traditional Georgian knife to games. He use to play with it in the knife in the tunnel between the changing rooms while looking at the opposition.
RIP Jono Lomu, what a warrier and athlete. He garnered great respect amongst South Africans not only for his tremendous prowess but also as a great and humble person. He played rugby in the true All Black spirit, hard, fast and tough.

When you grow up playing rugby and enjoy every minute of it , you get to understand why people who don't play rugby are scared of it. Boy's me and my brother's have been playing rugby for over 25 years and we love it. I suppose it's all about what you are brought up with.
The French guy is only tough on the field, off the field hes gentle. I suppose it's the opposite for American football players or boxers is true? Or did no American never be a dick to another player?
Have a look at Australian 'Aussie Rules' football. I was 3ed team All-American in football and am now an Oz citizen. For a continent the size of America with a population of 20 million, these guts punch above their weight.
In rugby union punches are rarely thrown. That means a red card, and ejection from the game if you throw a pucnh. Followed by a ban from future matches. A minimum of 2 games, but usually more
,Never a punch thrown nonsense , did you play girls rugby ,I played rugby many years ago , if if one punch was thrown you all piled in , if someone was playing dirty as an ex boxer my job to calm them down . as the great Willy John McBride said when playing the All Blacks " right lads we will get our retaliation in first ". , the Rugby you re talking about when all can be seen on TV , stupid yellow and red cards and to many penalties killing the game . only ever seen one player sent off for punching too often .
Could you guys watch rugby explained for American football fans? I'm sure you guys know how y'all football works and the video I referenced is a great one. Uploader is Sports Explained
I recommend these guys watch some NRL hits - almost NFL speed and contact levels, much faster contact than in RU due to the gap between attack and defence on each run.
Lomu was a specimen... Something hard to believe, a 6'5" for around 220/230lb. who can run the Olympic 100m. in 10.7.... an impact force like that is something you don't wanna test
Farrell wasn't trying to smash him though, he was going for a choke tackle so his team mates could join in support and try to force a maul to hold the ball up and either slow it down or win a scum. Genge plays with him for England and knew what to expect, so it failed.
i have never seen this video, but i see Chabal in the thumbnail and i know it'll be good. Rugby Jesus When i saw Bakkies... i go t extra happy. And Lomu..... All i can say is, nothing that big, should ever be that fast!!!!
If you want to be really impressed watch fafDeClerk tackle guys twice his size ans 3 times his weight. Not a 'boks fan but that dude was crazy crazy brave
I had a Brit friend that played this and said that he broke almost every bone and dislocated his shoulder 7 times and had his ear lobe almost bit off twice. I said "Yeah, right!", then he took me to a game...
Guys in the old days they used to fight and legaly stamp on each other to get the ball called rucking youd see eye gouging punches the lot its got alot more tame in reacent years
😮😅 the dude with barb on thumbnails is "Sebastian Chabal". If a french top player famous for scarying his ennemi.. he s among top player.. But at a global level, he was great.. maybe top10 world.. but there are crazier/bigger monsters in world rugby fédération. Look "Jonah lomuh" is a F legends for exemple.. or "Serge blanco" in France for exemple
i didn't know that Henry tuilagi, what a monster , 285 pounds of true strength , when he was speed up and charge , you could tell a raging bull crushing everything...Jonah Lomu was dreadful too...
Rules are such that dangerous playing is sanctioned and it makes it less dangerous than football… I used to play it and had more injuries running track…
When I was 15 I was playing on mens teams ha I was and still am 5 foot 6 and a bit at the time I was like 10.5 stone thats less than 150lbs and I was centre back. I was one of the best at tackleing on the team even the mens team and even more so on the unders ha I have always been insanely strong. Now I can deadlift 240kg and squat 190kg thats 529 and 418lbs for each of the lifts.

You just profiled 2 of the very best #4 ever Eben and Bakkies both played for "my" team Toulon. So did Gorgo #8 and Tuisova "14. Toulon's now rebuilding but they are 3X European Champions. RCT! RCT! RCT!
"Arturo gatii" vs "micky ward"
most brutal boxing trilogy ever

chabal .. got some speed for a big man
Ruby a sport for men football is for the boys that is from my father and older brother both played rugby. I love rugby both League and Union.
I'm now 63 I played Rugby league tbf it's a right of passage for someone from Wigan.. My Son is now a coach at Westhoughton lions amateur club.. Incidentally they made club history on Saturday as they have qualified for the play offs first time in their history oh and btw my Grandson plays too and my grand daughter is now in training..My grandson binned his headgear as it made it too hard ro hear instructions or warnings .. sometimes ppe is not the right way.
Interesting story about Gorgodze he use to bring a traditional Georgian knife to games. He use to play with it in the knife in the tunnel between the changing rooms while looking at the opposition.
Watch Fiji Rugby playing in the quarter finals in FRANCE 🇫🇷!
Watched Chabal when he played for Sale Sharks, he was defo impressive and a giant
R.I.P Jono Lumo. He did admit after 1995 final loss against SA that he struggle with our defense and cant break it
Lomo was something else. Just a beast. We in South Africa loved the guy although we didn't always admitted it. Wish we had someone like him.
RIP Jono Lomu, what a warrier and athlete. He garnered great respect amongst South Africans not only for his tremendous prowess but also as a great and humble person. He played rugby in the true All Black spirit, hard, fast and tough.
Also Lumo was on dialysis and still ran over players like he was playing against primary schoolers man was beast
Jonah Lomu
@@reconquistaahead1602 The spelling may be incorrect but the meaning stays the same...the man was a beast and a legend in his own time. Wish we had just one of him. From a Saffer
One to watch, Johna Lomu takes on half the England team and scores the try, goes through at least 7 players 👌
That the best French number 8 in the world in the background I see
Jonah RIP probably one of the best players ever and taken from us wayyyyyy too young!
here's the thing ..i'm relatively big boy ( keep in mind relatively ) .. some of my more dominant features - chest and shoulders . One thing is impression on screen , the other is when you walk into a store and there's one of em and his thigh is bigger then your chest??? feels like something went wrong with the matrix :D :D :D
awesome rugby reactions guys!
7:29 Yes. Chabal. Sébastien Chabal aka "The Caveman". 😂
Bakkies Botha he was the most aggressive springboks player in a history of rugby sound the world,he cause 95% of most horrific injuries to any team that plays springboks and he still hold that title up to this day.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
love you guys can you react to rugby big hits till I collapse
The 2024 season opener (2 games) of the Australian National Rugby League are being played at Allegient Stadium Las Vegas this year, Saturday March 2nd, 6:30PM kick off Vegas time. Its being fully televised on Fox Sports 1 or the Fox Sports app in the US
You guys should film a reaction 👍
jona lomu's was a genetic freazk at his time in rugby imagine a guy like kelce from KC with the speed of deon sanders in his prime
When you grow up playing rugby and enjoy every minute of it , you get to understand why people who don't play rugby are scared of it. Boy's me and my brother's have been playing rugby for over 25 years and we love it. I suppose it's all about what you are brought up with.
The All Black's (from Nouvelle-Zélande) and the Springboks (from South Africa) are the best for me and Chabal from France it's a gentleman the Goat
Best sport ever man , USA should be part of the world cup once you guys get a taste of the game you will love it
The French guy is only tough on the field, off the field hes gentle. I suppose it's the opposite for American football players or boxers is true? Or did no American never be a dick to another player?
The number 1 ranked team in the world Ireland are playing the Springboks the number 2 ranked team tomorrow.
Have a look at Australian 'Aussie Rules' football. I was 3ed team All-American in football and am now an Oz citizen. For a continent the size of America with a population of 20 million, these guts punch above their weight.
In rugby union punches are rarely thrown. That means a red card, and ejection from the game if you throw a pucnh. Followed by a ban from future matches. A minimum of 2 games, but usually more
,Never a punch thrown nonsense , did you play girls rugby ,I played rugby many years ago , if if one punch was thrown you all piled in , if someone was playing dirty as an ex boxer my job to calm them down . as the great Willy John McBride said when playing the All Blacks " right lads we will get our retaliation in first ". , the Rugby you re talking about when all can be seen on TV , stupid yellow and red cards and to many penalties killing the game . only ever seen one player sent off for punching too often .
Could you guys watch rugby explained for American football fans? I'm sure you guys know how y'all football works and the video I referenced is a great one. Uploader is Sports Explained
We did check out videos family thank for the comment
@@dunsonhouse oh you already saw it? My b
Boys boys you just earned a new fan ......Bokke all the way🇿🇦
I recommend these guys watch some NRL hits - almost NFL speed and contact levels, much faster contact than in RU due to the gap between attack and defence on each run.
Lomu was a specimen... Something hard to believe, a 6'5" for around 220/230lb. who can run the Olympic 100m. in 10.7.... an impact force like that is something you don't wanna test
10:15 Because he's Owen Farrell, lol. A top tier player, who is also infamous for disastrously wrong, or simply illegal, tackling techniques.
Farrell wasn't trying to smash him though, he was going for a choke tackle so his team mates could join in support and try to force a maul to hold the ball up and either slow it down or win a scum. Genge plays with him for England and knew what to expect, so it failed.
i have never seen this video, but i see Chabal in the thumbnail and i know it'll be good. Rugby Jesus
When i saw Bakkies... i go t extra happy.
And Lomu..... All i can say is, nothing that big, should ever be that fast!!!!
If you want to be really impressed watch fafDeClerk tackle guys twice his size ans 3 times his weight. Not a 'boks fan but that dude was crazy crazy brave
There's a rugby league player called Paul Wood - just read about him in the Super League Grand final in 20212. A real hard man.
Rugby is a fun game loved across the world. Even the Japanese play it. America is catching on.
I would love for you guys to check out
Sam Burgess. Or as he was known. “Slammin Sam”. A legend!
I had a Brit friend that played this and said that he broke almost every bone and dislocated his shoulder 7 times and had his ear lobe almost bit off twice. I said "Yeah, right!", then he took me to a game...
Yes ear bit off, eyes literally gouged out, and sadly people have become disfigured disabled and in some extreme cases have died
The thing I was ment too mention about the ball size. AFL ball is easily held on too cos it’s smaller. ❤❤❤❤❤
I miss old-school Rugby. They have sissified it in the modern era.
Ban rugby but keep. Your guns
😂
Its cool to see the origin sport of American football, or should i say American Rugby.
Guys in the old days they used to fight and legaly stamp on each other to get the ball called rucking youd see eye gouging punches the lot its got alot more tame in reacent years
Greatest sport on Earth. Go Bokkies!
😮😅 the dude with barb on thumbnails is "Sebastian Chabal". If a french top player famous for scarying his ennemi.. he s among top player.. But at a global level, he was great.. maybe top10 world.. but there are crazier/bigger monsters in world rugby fédération. Look "Jonah lomuh" is a F legends for exemple.. or "Serge blanco" in France for exemple
i didn't know that Henry tuilagi, what a monster , 285 pounds of true strength , when he was speed up and charge , you could tell a raging bull crushing everything...Jonah Lomu was dreadful too...
Rules are such that dangerous playing is sanctioned and it makes it less dangerous than football… I used to play it and had more injuries running track…
Buy the way lads. The touch down has too be made in one movement. ❤❤❤
you guys should react to a chabal compilation if you haven't already... he was a legit beast
Another Sport created in England, Football {Soccer} and American Football which the English used to call Rounders played by Children.
Totally agree the Jeremy Clarkson.
\o/ Sebastien "the caveman" Chabal powaaaaaaa !!!!
When I was 15 I was playing on mens teams ha I was and still am 5 foot 6 and a bit at the time I was like 10.5 stone thats less than 150lbs and I was centre back. I was one of the best at tackleing on the team even the mens team and even more so on the unders ha I have always been insanely strong. Now I can deadlift 240kg and squat 190kg thats 529 and 418lbs for each of the lifts.
So long as keep Hold of the ball and pass it back, NOT FORWARD. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Best game in the world. What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
@11:52 That's a grown man 🤣
The best reactions ever👏👏👏
Missing one of the greatest of all, Jerry Collins
Spot on, the terminator was the best, and such a humble man, we loved him in Wales, taken way too soon
Y’all should react to rugby steppers next
Rugby is brilliant, you don't need any money to play.
Gridiron has a lot going for it , but is heavily commercialised.
I hope this spot never never be illegal
