@ItsjuuhsRome I'll say this. You need to watch some NFL hits, not taking away from rugby, I'm a fan obviously, but they ger vicious. Rugby players are much better at tackling. It's fun to see a former rugby player play in the NFL bc they are always punters. They don't just sit back and watch after a punt return, the get after it.
@daveandjessdivorced they aren't always punters. 90% of the punters are Australian Rules footballers, not rugby players (also a tough sport). There are also rugby players either currently in the NFL or previously in it, in other positions. Jordan Mailata is one of the best LTs in the NFL, for example. Rugby player. Haloti Ngata, pro bowler DT, grew up playing rugby. There's a few out there.
The thin helmets you see in Rugby Union are called scum caps. They are to stop your ears from getting ripped off in the scrum. They don’t offer much impact protection. This is Rugby league though. They are both tough games. League is quicker and hits are generally bigger. It is also an 80 minute game comprised of 2 half’s, of continuous play. No time outs, and all players play offence and defence.
People have been wearing scrum caps for about 100 years in rugby league and rugby union. It hasnt progressed beyond that. It's just to stop cuts or ear damage. It's not like the helmets in american football. It's always been an option for players to wear scrum caps. The funny thing is that most players just dont bother. Its not seen as important by most players. Different breed.
Rugby is for all sizes, and we start playing at a young age. It's also a massive international sport. Rugby is actually safer then NFL. Great reaction.
The headgear they wear is just to protect their ears in the scrum. They're called scrum caps. You can imagine a couple tonnes of people pushing against each other and if you're stuck in the middle you have bodies pushing against your ears. It's normally the hooker that wears em, who hooks the ball out of the scrum but other players wear them too if they're worried about cauliflower ears. The more modern ones are just ear protectors with smooth plastic headphones essentially, just no tunes.just stops the friction being an issue. I don't know if either of you guys have done jiu jitsu but every session I'd come back with burns around my neck from the gi.
@hanniosman1839 oh yea, I practiced under Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in my town, I got some injuries. The worst part.was rolling with a guy who's 350 lbs. Dude, you don't have to get me in a hold! Just get the F off me I can't breath. Tap.tap.tap
@davesworldreacts haha, weirdly I trained at a Gracie Barra gym too. They also did muay Thai in board shorts and t shirt but both bjj and mt were allowed in those sessions. I was too light when I started and trying to throw all the islands bouncers ended up with a load of broken toes on my part. They were mostly over 125kg when I only weighed about 80 on a heavy day. My spider guard was impenetrable and got a load of them to tap just by squeezing their ribs and holding them down so not to bash my brains in. I'm a long legged man. Think I'm about 6ft5 or two metres. I'm now at a competitive size but too late for a career in fighting, nor do I want to hurt people. I've got a brain I want to use for good. There's this mental Indian sport of it (tag in the us)called kabbadi where attackers and defenders score by crossing a line then running back towards their zone. It's played on a hard court that I'm pretty sure is a clay tennis court. Seen a few matches in my time in India and the viewing is electric. Well worth a watch.
@hanniosman1839 I'll have to.check.ot out my friend. I feel you about the grappling though. In 2019 with my daughter she took the anti bullying class and I rolled with the big boys.

Proper tackling technique is a core skill from early juniors up. Some of those hits are shoulder charges which is now banned due to the risk of hitting the opponents head.
American football is derived from Rugby only rugby is faster and harder and no pads. The game doesn't stop every time someone gets injured or tackled - it goes right on. They don't wear helmets, what some have on their heads is called a scrum cap, it's to prevent cauliflower ears.
@Morgana0x In the U S " scrum" means something COMPLETELY different. Haha, but I get you. Rugby is the best. The other big difference is the play calling on American Football. It's so complex. Even at the high school level. I remember having to study the playbook. ... Green Right X Shift to Viper Right 382 X Stick Lookie on 2.. WTF?? They get very creative.
In the NFL because they have big heavy helmets on they use them as a weapon and often lead with their heads, that's why there's a bigger CTE issue in the NFL than in the NRL.
@Schiltzenberger Agreed, but those guys are getting blasted too. You can get mild concussions from just riding a roller coaster, do these dudes are definitely getting head trauma

There is no pulling back if you go into a tackle with anything less than 100% intent you can end up injured, and there are much less injuries in rugby due to the focus on correct tackle form from when you're 6-7 years old
@richardstuart3882 yea USA football lost that somehow. Although the high school football game last night had some good solid wrap up tackling. Those boys played hard.
The headgear in rugby league is more of a sponsored fashion accessory. A player will generally wear in thier whole career. It does nothing to stop concussion, nor do helmets.
We welcome you guys to rugby. First, there's two types of rugby. Rugby Union and Rugby League. Rugby union is the more popular and most widely played form. -15 players -More technical and complex -Top international teams are South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland and England.

The helmets have been around forever it was originally the some forwards used to wear them when you use to push in the scums to stop their ears, tearing in the scrums or the use the strip of electrical tape to push the top of their ear against their head Now some wear it to stop head knocks and some are made to wear it if they have had to many head knocks to close together. Rugby League is mich faster and more aggressive than Rugby Union.
@peterlinsley4287 Then we'd like the more aggressive league, which is pretty much what the shoe here in the US, when you can find it. I usually have to go to my former college if i want to see rugby, where they are loose on the rules.
@CLMonster1 It's reversed now in the NFL, they lay shoulders and don't tackle correctly anymore. Saw a travel show where an NFL linebacker went to Australia and tried to learn how to play Rugby; he could keep up, the rugby players ran circles around him.
As long as you compare Rugby to American Football, you will never come close to understanding what rugby is about. Instead of watching silly crap like as you call them hits ( we don’t hit in rugby we tackle) the important things to watch and learn is the flow of the play and the movement of the players that support the ball carrier at any given time. The formation is constantly shifting whether in positions or not, rugby is not broken down into offense and defense because the ball is always live. When your watching rugby just view it for what it is and learn to enjoy the subtleness of the ball movement and how both teams constantly ebb and flow opening gaps if in possession and closing them if your not. A rugby players mind never stops adjusting to the movement on the pitch.
@patrickdevine1085 Well said sir. I love a passionate fan. Unfortunately, the only time I get to see it live is if I go to my former college during the season.
CTE in rugby league is only now being investigated years after NFL. So many of our greats are now suffering because the lack of our concussion process. Only in the last 4 years we've had propper concussion protocols
So with the helmets we’ve always had it. And instead of rugby being similar to American football it’s the other way around American football started off as rugby but then you guys changed the sport to what it is now
@@rooman3334 Where is Union played? AUS, NZ? Do they play different seasons? Also, someone mentioned Australian Rules Football, which I thought was NRL.

@@davesworldreacts I mean the main goal of the scrum cap is to protect your ears from ripping or getting cauliflower ear, but can take away a little impact from head collision I guess. It’s thin and soft though

@user-cu7gk3vr6n yea, by a couple of years, either way football was almost banned in the . President Teddy Roosevelt, the mad man he was, saved it by forcing the Universities to make it safer because kids were getting killed. No him..no NFL.
@iaindavidson2363 yep you're right! 2 great games came from one dude from England. You gotta live this NFL uniforms though, helmets, team uniforms. You won't see a 450 lb man playing rugby. You can almost say all shapes and sizes welcome, but even necessary. Ant rugby is the shit. NFL is corrupt. Just watch last year's superbowl.
Rugby league is not the same as Rugby (union). Rugby league is basically like rugby light. Check out the Springboks, the South African national team, back to back World cup winners if you wanna see some brutal men.
Man you blokes are green. Rugby LEAGUE has tried to ditch the RUGBY name for 100 years. It should have been called Rebel League. Americans can not get past the word RUGBY. A shame that because the USA showed they could shine in LEAGUE. ua-cam.com/video/CHsgys-EJT8/v-deo.html

You're the first rugby fan who actually thinks they hit harder than NFL players. Sorry, but you're in a dream world dude. No offense to rugby, I love it I watch both, but you are sooooo wrong. I'd rather be hit by a rugby player than a 6ft 7 400 lb lineman. Or a 6ft 5 inch 275 lb linebacker. You ain't getting up from that.

Clearly, the hallmark of a sport’s greatness is how much pain its players can endure. Such a noble metric. But why stop at no helmets? In the bush, real men play barefoot on gravel pits at 4pm in the height of summer. Bless the wusses, hiding behind the safety of impact-cushioning grass. Bloody wokeness is destroying everything. 🙄

@ianfinney7820 well I rounded it up but 46 years is fairly close to 50 I would say
More nrl

Rugby league is not the same as Rugby (union). Rugby league is basically like rugby light. Check out the Springboks, the South African national team, back to back World cup winners if you wanna see some brutal men.
@esof55 we'll check it out out. Thanks!
“Light” ?league over union everytime
That's all rugby League. 'Tis a silly game. Take no notice.
@@HaveMonkeyWillDance lol 😆. Ok , so what should we take notice of?
Man you blokes are green. Rugby LEAGUE has tried to ditch the RUGBY name for 100 years. It should have been called Rebel League. Americans can not get past the word RUGBY. A shame that because the USA showed they could shine in LEAGUE. ua-cam.com/video/CHsgys-EJT8/v-deo.html
@summervincent7312 Yeah? But it's called Rugby. If they can't get it charged after 100 years, don't think there's much hope brother. So Rugby it is.
Please state Union or league. Just makes life simpler. Txs in advance🇿🇦
@fridgeappliances914 I honestly don't know the differences or which league is the best. Sounds like their are opinions on both sides, kinda like the soccer league stuff. With rugby, one has to be more popular than the other baring national popularity.
@daveandjessdivorced there's a great explainer video on the history of rugby which explains history and differences between the 2 codes.
@@Rastusmishka12 that's what I need to know. I'll check it out. Thanks!

@Rastusmishka12 thank you 👍
Rugby League is the best, Union is dead...
😂😂😂😂 BS
haha sounded/looked like NFL hit/tackle get a f grip, these guys are naked running head on, and you talk about NFL with hugely gear in any kinda way, these guy go body to body, full smash,
@theishansen908 uhhh bro. They hit harder in the NFL or you're out of the league. The equipment gives them a false sense of security. So many concussions and career ending hits. You're the first rugby fan who actually thinks they hit harder than NFL players. Sorry, but you're in a dream world dude. No offense to rugby, I love it I watch both, but you are sooooo wrong. I'd rather be hit by a rugby player than a 6ft 7 400 lb lineman. Or a 6ft 5 inch 275 lb linebacker. You ain't getting up from that.
Watch rugby union. This is rugby league, the less popular and lesser known version of rugby. Rugby Union is where it’s at
boring
@@HangingDong we'll check it out. Thanks!
thats not true at all lmao, union is boring and a dying game.
@@timreserve lol keep telling yourself that 🤡 How many people tuned in for the union World Cup vs league? I’ll wait. Boring🤣 just because you don’t like the physicality of scrums, malls and rucks doesn’t make it boring. Grow up. You are being disingenuous if you believe that league is even close to union in popularity🤣🤡
@@ggg-heufhehdh73 which part you 🤡
Ah , the poor delicate Americans need pads and helmets in case they hurt themselves, bless 😆
@@andrewsims4123 yea, yea. 😉
Clearly, the hallmark of a sport’s greatness is how much pain its players can endure. Such a noble metric. But why stop at no helmets? In the bush, real men play barefoot on gravel pits at 4pm in the height of summer. Bless the wusses, hiding behind the safety of impact-cushioning grass. Bloody wokeness is destroying everything. 🙄
