One of the things I love about your posts Amanda is that you hardly interrupt during the film. You just let it happen chime in a couple of times and when it's finished you give your reaction❤
With rugby red cards, they get put in front of a board, and they determine how many matches that player will miss, it could be 1, but could be up to 15 or so. Sometimes a ban for life, but this is very rare, and it rarely happens in the professional game. Love your videos.
Thanks Jeremy! I appreciate you taking the time to explain. 😊have a lovely weekend !
@@AMANDARAEUK you’re welcome
In my 43 year rugby career I got one red card, it was so pathetic I had to down a pint of Guinness after the match as D!ck of the Day, not for the red card, but because the “punch” was so pathetic! I got a one-match ban.
@@keithorbell8946 This game changed my son for the best, its a brilliant game to be involved in even at junior level. Have watched my son progress through the juniors to a colt he's taken this year out but I hope goes on to the seniors. He's also been awarded "Dick Of Th Day", but that was for high fiving the subs as he was walking off after his red, for a "retaliatory" right hook. Coach was not happy Lol
The best bit about Rugby in my opinion is that teams will battle each other for 80 minutes and then sing songs and drink beer with each other afterwards in the Club Bar. Brilliant social occasion and likely the most memorable bit of the match - up until a certain point in the evening when it may become slightly hazy.
He is sadly no longer with us but you should check out a player called Jonah Lomu who played for New Zealand. The man was a machine.
RIP to the big man. He left us far too soon.
that time he was on ''they think it's all over'' is hilarious!
@@user-ne1kp8yo8n I had totally forgotten about that. What the host setup Chris Eubank to say before he came on was priceless. And look on Eubanks face... :D
I'm still convinced he was sent from the future to dominate Rugby. RIP
@@user-ne1kp8yo8n I'll have to look that up - TTIAO isn't shown in New Zealand!
Yellow- sin bin for 10 minutes
Red - end of that game + 1 game automatic ban
Red - if there are extenuating circumstances additional games can be added to the automatic 1 game ban
Ah okay, thank you!
Love Rugby! I've been to a few games at Twickenham supporting Exeter Chiefs. I've worn 'relink' and you can hear every bone-crunching tackle. It's a brutal game.
My favorite was Martin "Chariots" Ofifiah he never played for my local team sadly but was electric to watch, but of course the GOAT is Jonah Lomu, please do something on him, the man was unstoppable.
Also as an ex Rugby player at county level, sometimes you just commit to a tackle and they move the ball so quickly, so not all is done by malice. I remember my coach constantly yelling at me don't commit. Part if the game, and you'll notice none of the players getting hit roll around the ground like some footballers do.
Hi Amanda, One rather important rule is that if you lift someone up off the ground it is YOUR responsibility to see that they get down again safely: if you don't it may well be a red card. When I was a kid we were taught to tackle around the ankles, none of this high stuff. I have been a Munster (Irish team) supporter all my life. As to favourite players, Peter Stringer. There is a lovely video on UA-cam - from about 2006 of Stringer (5'7", 160 lbs) stopping the great Jonah Lomu (6'5", 265lbs) with an ankle tackle 🙂
When they're playing like gents, it's a wonder to behold and the tackles are brutal. When they turn that 200+ pounds of muscle and menace to spite - it can, as Vinnie would say, be quite emotional.
Edit:: Pads are like boxing gloves - they remove the real feeling, as such you don't know how hard to hit - you just throw everything into it, which without the pads/gloves you can't (for the most part..) without hurting/injuring yourself enough that the subconscious remembers. Power is nothing without control, as it were - the lack of pads teaches the control necessary to tone it down enough not to hurt ourselves. Adrenaline and machismo may at times make us forgetful..
Hiya. The other great things about the game is you don't have to keep the rival fans apart and you can take the kids/family with no qualms. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Definitely, everyone just supports the game (and their team)
I love that! That’s how it is in the US with sports 😊🙌
Hi Amanda🤩OUCH!!! I played a bit of Rugby at school, and usually ended up face down, flattened into the clards! (wet mud). The players play under a code, and will not argue with the ref, and they also call the ref Sir, can you imagine soft footballers doing that??? i follow England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales Rugby Union teams. Have a lovely weekend Amanda
I’ve heard that doesn’t happen, there’s a lot of arguing lol 😂
Hope you do as well !
I've played football and rugby, and believe me there's nothing soft about football at any decent level. Although the average rugby player is obviously a lot bigger than the average football player, the average football player is a lot faster than the average rugby player and the closing speed for tackles is a lot higher, and on a more vulnerable part of the body. Both sports have left me in absolute agony (broken leg in football, broken ribs in rugby), but it's the football injuries which have done me the most long-term damage and mean I can no longer play any contact sport.
@@AMANDARAEUK Only the captain can speak to the ref. If someone else does it, they might get a penalty.
I’ve only started getting into rugby the last couple of years or so. Northampton Saints, for me.
😊👍🏻👍🏻
I used to play back in the day, and for all they blood, sweat and broken bones I endured, there isn't a day goes by when I don't miss it... Knocking lumps out of each other, but having a beer with the opponents after.
Michael Jones was probably my favourite player.
I’m French-Australian, so in international competition, I support both the XV de France and the Wallabies. In club competition I support the Waratahs and Biarritz Olympique (though I don’t follow the French league as closely). My favourite player has to be John Eales, he was the captain of the Wallabies when we won the World Cup in ‘99, and he’s Australia’s most successful captain. I also went to school with his son.
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺!!!.
That's one thing about Rugby, is you hear what the Ref says. That is what Football needs.
On the refereeing front it used to be said rugby was a ruffians game played by gentlemen , football the reverse . I like the referees explaining decisions and some of these were maybe accidental but others were just brutal . I share your concerns and there have been some changes to protect players .
I have a lot of respect for the ref and players 🙌
if you havent already, check out rugby ref videos. Especially Nigel Owens. shows the difference between Rugby and a lot of other sports@@AMANDARAEUK
This video includes the relatively new laws about head clashes. Even if you accidentally clash heads while trying to tackle this can now be deemed dangerous and a red card. They tightened the rules due to the number of concussion injuries.
In League an accidental head clash is not even a penalty because who can rightly say whose fault it was?
I suffered one of those slam into the ground on your head, I played on after relocating my shoulder. I was later checked out and it was discovered I had broken my neck in 3 places, the adrenaline blocks the pain. As a supporter now, yes you get pumped but you can sit next to a fan for the other team and rib each other with no risk of aggro - much like respecting the ref. It's part of the game
Great video again ❤️🇮🇹🇧🇪
In Rugby you are not allowed to hit or touch the ball carrier above the shoulders or when he's defenseless.If you pick up a player you have to make sure to bring him down safely. Means the player has to land on his back or lower.
ah I didn't know that, thank you :)
As an ex-referee for 30 years, I have seen many occasions where I have given red cards, and incidents where I issued a yellow but should (in hindsight) have given red.
The disciplinary meeting is held and the referee's report is discussed, the player's previous conduct is reviewed and a sanction depending upon all aspects is arrived at. If video evidence is available then it is also viewed prior to the decision of sending off sufficient (SOS) or a longer suspension. There are mitigations taken into account and depending upon the minimum and maximum tariffs available the suspension is arrived at.
As a Leicester Tigers fan, a lot of these players have been through our club, If foul is bad, then the player can be stopped from playing in future matches
Love rugby. Ealing Trailfinders. Only a few weeks until the start of the season. And we have the women's team as well this year.
So basically when a red card offense occurs at least in the Gallagher Premiership (Top Tier English Rugby), the referee will send the player off, and then after the game for the more intentional or severe acts the guilty player will be called to a disciplinary hearing with the RFU (The heads of English Rugby) and then one of a couple of things happen.
Firstly they see the red card is all the offense deserves and that is it (although usually an act bad enough to be called there usually warrants more so this is relatively uncommon from most cases I’ve heard of).
Secondly the RFU will ban the guilty player for a set amount of weeks, this varies depending on what they did, the third clip is this reaction for example, the guilty player was Owen Farrell, Saracens Captain, and England Captain, who is often criticized for his high tackles, or commonly leading with the shoulder and not wrapping the arms in the tackle. Farrell received a five game ban for this tackle with pundits who are big fans of him saying they couldn’t defend him on this occasion.
Rugby is a brutal sport, with a lot a testosterone and adrenaline flying around, but 99 times out of 100 these tackles aren’t intentional or pre-meditated, usually a rush of blood to the head and nothing more.
Sorry for the long comment but hope this sheds a bit of light ☺️
St Helens is the nearest team to me, they rock :)
😊👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Amanda i actually used to play Rugby and absolutely loved the game. I prefered it to football because i was right in the action of the game seeing as i played Lefthooker in the scrum so was a forward. Yes the knocks were hard but it toughens you up.
The game is hard but unlike footy players a rugby player doesn't get pissed off to the extreme that they show it on the pitch. A Refs dicision is final and if you get a card you follow the direction. The saying goes Rugby is a thugs game played by Gentlemen.
If the players in a rugby game disagreed with decisions and a fight broke out between two forwards weighing 18 to 22 stone and on average around a minimum of six ft tall think of the damage that could be inflicted upon the game and the players. This is why the rules are so hard line
I played hooker, only in secondary, but it was full contact, like you said, you were taught first and foremost, its the refs pitch, respect his word or dont step on, being the smallest guy in the scrum was always a fun place to be tho lol
Also, and i think it is a part of what makes the ref so respected in Rigby, is that he has at his disposal a whole arsenal of possible sanctions, whereas other sports only have the cards, and not any other way to really punish anything not directly foul related... And most of said sanctions have an impact on the team in the play, so nearly everyone knows better than to piss off the ref, or he might also piss off all his teammates
There's four levels of sanction in rugby, going from lowest to highest they are
1. Free kick - Usually awarded for technical infringements for instance at a scrum where one team starts pushing before the ball's in... free kick.
2. Penalty - Awarded when there's an act of foul or dangerous play. For instance offside, pulling a maul down, late or high tackles... or as you've seen here... tackling a player in the air. A penalty is usually given when there's no further sanction required for an individual.
3. Yellow Card - Awarded for repeated or serious acts of foul or dangerous play. A prime example would be where despite the referee warning a team that they're commiting too many instances of foul play... e.g. repeated offsides, continually going off feet at the ruck, deliberate knock ons... or for tackles in the air, where the player lands on their back or side following contact in the air. A player receiving a YC during a match will be cited for it and may face further disciplinary action for instance a ban or fine.
4. Red Card - The ultimate sanction for severely dangerous play. A player who is tackled in the air and lands on their head or neck results in a red card to the offending player. Deliberate head contact as a result of a dangerous tackle... Red Card. Abuse the ref physically or verbally - Red Card.
The difference between the yellow and the red is the time... Yellow is sitting on the naughty step for 10 minutes. Red is permanent.
Rugby. A thug's game played by gentlemen. They know its a red card and except it. Respect to the players.
🙌🙌
"A thug's game played by gentlemen."
If they were gentlemen, they wouldn't be risking seriously harming their opponents. When I was a player, I always tried to stick to the rules, but both codes of the sport are full of violent thugs and in the end I decided to quit because I didn't want to end up with serious injuries because somebody thinks it's OK to tackle at head height or throw a sucker punch. Trying to injure somebody else and then accepting a red card doesn't make these people gentlemen.
Rugby is a hooligans game for gentlemen, they always respect the referee. There's a South African player called Faf De Klerk, he's tiny! But strong and will tackle anyone! Known as the giant slayer!
Great reaction amanda, i have to point out though how english you sounded when towards the end you said " unreal " 😂
I had heaps of red cards when I played rugby in new Zealand I miss
Ed heaps of games
I'm a proud All Blacks supporter
Saracens (Premiership Rugby)
Glasgow Warriors (United Rugby Championship)
Stade Français (Top 14)
Melbourne Rebels (Super Rugby Pacific)
Seattle Seawolves (Major League Rugby)
London Broncos (Super League)
Melbourne Storm (National Rugby League)
Just for context Amanda
You cannot tackle someone on the neck/head
No shoulder charge
No elbow charge
No throwing of fists
Cannot tackle anyone in the air
Cannot scissor a guy. Lift him in the air and throw him down
No tripping of opponents
No head butting
Great vid of a wonderful sport. Best Wishes.
Favourite rugby player for me: Maro Itoje. Mostly because I'd be playing in his position. (I'm 6ft 3 and currently building muscle as best I can 😅)
Nice one! 👍🏻good luck !
You need to learn to give at least five penalties away per game then.
It's funny when a couple of them just tried to maim someone then look at the ref and say "What, me ? ! " Don't have nightmares !
Some of the hits absolutely brutal, I love how they never argue with the ref, just take there punishment
The hassle with rugby union has come about since it was made professional.
When that happened, players "grew" because they could train and need no other job/income.
Before profesionalism was the case, the best players were just exceptions to the norm - they were taller, wider, faster, more committed to training in their own time, whatever, not relying on hours, and more, on the training field.
I love rugby union, but it has lost a lot since Bill Beaumont was playing.
if you get a straight red card in rugby it means you have to leave the field and go to changing room and no longer a part of that game
getting a red card also means you cant play in the next game and sometimes a ban for ever depending on the matter
Ahh okay, I didn’t realise that. Thank you 😊
@@AMANDARAEUK you are welcome
A Professional Rugby League formed in the US around 2017 (don’t remember exactly when heck I can’t remember my wife’s Birthday) and I’ve been to see some really fun matches. Oh I know it’s not on the level of Euro & Pacific Rugby but it’s really fun to watch.
if you want to see how seriously some of these reds have been check the longest rugby players ban, these guys don't mess about
Hi Amanda, I'm an All Blacks fan, and yup if a player gets a red card, he can and will face suspension and banning depending on the offence.
All players have to respect the referee's decision. If a player swears at a ref the player can face a 3 year worldwide ban. If a player hits a ref it can be a worldwide lifetime ban.
In rugby if you pick a player up, you're responsible for how they come down. Generally, any tackle where the tackled players feet go above their head is an instant red card.
The ban for a red card is variable, it can be one game or more, and the reason that the player does not argue with the ref is that his ban will be extended when the Board meets to examine the offence. Bye the way, I KNOW that you are an American, but I have to applaud you for accepting, and enjoying the British way of life. Big respect to you.
Hi Amanda, I wouldn't say I have a favourite team but one player I do find interesting would have to be George Gregan, unfortunately he retired back in 2007, he was an interesting guy though, he was born in Zambia to an Australian father and a Zimbabwean mother, internationally he played for Australia and he's currently Australia's most capped player and definitely one of their greatest if not their greatest overall.
Hey thomas, I've never heard of him but i will have to look him up. Thank you :)
I hope you're having a lovely weekend
Hi again Amanda, I had a very nice weekend, I went up to my parents for Dinner on Sunday, Dad made a Fry Up (Full English Breakfast) which is DEFINITELY one of his specialities!!!.
Check out a women's rugby game, it's just as rough! NZ Black Ferns are the ones to watch, won 85% of all test matches they have played an the only international women's team to have a winning record over all teams they have played.
It makes American Football look like a ballet. I used to play Rugby at school and it was just an organised fight with a ball. I think some of the more intentional hits get punished with fines and match bans. I used to watch Bath play. I don't support a particular team other than England and, of course, whoever is playing against Scotland.
American football is a totally different game. It employs an enormous playbook that a QB must understand in order to get his team to play effectively. Like I said, it's a different game. Strategy comes first before any physical force.
Amanda have you ever watched any Aussie Rules greatest tackles clips? They take things up another level 😵💫
You have done a few on the big hits and roughness. Have you done one on what are called the "skill" positions? Two suggestions: look up Johnny Wilkinson of England who was perhaps the best kicker. He could make conversions, penalties, and drops with either foot. It was discouraging to opponents. Then there was Shane Williams of Wales who was a 5'7" back with great speed and running ability. He even won a best player of the year trophy. There is room for small guys.
Also there are great players who became great coaches. The two best today are Ronan O'Gara who has coached a French club to two European championships and Fabien Galthié who coaches the French national team and brought it out of the doldrums.
Ronan O'Gara was actually born in California!!!, San Diego to be precise.
I seem to remember, vaguely, an interview with a team doctor. He said that some of the injuries he sees are similar to those sustained in 30mph car crashes.
Yup getting in front of someone like Jonah Lomu will have that effect
Hi, Amanda I understand why your reaction on Rugby Union, this sport is brutal and tough to watch. The players who play the game is taking risk for either win the game or entertaining the fans. Thank you for your reaction 😊
The red card works the same as in other sports: the player is expelled and will no longer have the possibility of playing again. After the game, the play is analyzed and it is studied whether it deserves to be sanctioned for more time. the Yellow is given for serious infractions, a cautioned player leaves the field for 10 minutes and his team will play with one less during that time.
Sadly many top players have gone on to develop dementia or Motor Neurone Disease in later life due to too many hits to the head, the idea is to tackle below the waist and these professional players should know better, a red card usually means a ban for so many games and they can be fined too.
Love the reaction 🤗 as for my fave team I'm a rugby league fan and from Yorkshire, so I'll support any Yorkshire team so long as they are playing a Lancashire team 😂 , But from Leeds so I like to see the Rhinos do well. You should check out Joe Westerman for Castleford Tigers getting his knee dislocated while playing and slapping it back in place and carrying on.
Don't forget Hunslet. 😀
@@andrewward2010 my dad said back in his day before the super league Hunslet were the team to beat 😁
@@andysawyer9949 From Hunslet, lifelong Rhinos fan, not sold on the rebranding but at the time Hull KR were the team to beat
@@helvete983 well me dad was born in Hunslet but grew up in Rothwell. I would not say I'm a fan of a particular team rather a fan of the sport. But I do like the Yorkshire team to win 🤭
@@andysawyer9949 I used to go to School (different years) with Karl Pratt and Chev Walker who played for Rhinos. Also my Mams 2nd Cousin Matthew Duncan played Rugby Union for Scotland in the Late 80's/Early 90's
Plenty of oohs & ahhs for this one but no snorts of laughter. Head injuries are no laughing matter
I agree with your reactions Amanda i thought this was a mixture of rugby and wrestling im surprised how they manage to get up after
Lol I wouldn’t be able to 😂😂
I don't follow Rugby but if I did I would probably follow Leeds or Hunslet which is an area of Leeds near where I am from. Sometimes players do have safety equipment as sometimes they wear head protectors or gum shields.
No gum shield or as we call them mouth guard , you don't get to play. That is in all contact sport.
The referee's decision is absolute....you cannot behave the way you do in football.
As a player (at schoolboy kevel) it's amazing how hard you hit each other and get up smiling
I do recall as 15 year olds we played our teachers...back then posts weren't on springs they were solid wood. A teacher pushed 1 of our team into a post which broke and speared him right through his thigh. He was helped off the pitch waiting for an ambulance but the game continued (yep times were different back in the 70/80',s).
The teacher who shoved him into the post thought he was clever...next time he got the ball i hit him and hit him high (that's the dangerous way to hit people)
He went down hard and every single member of our team joined it punching and kicking him till we were dragged away...he went off to the nurses office and i got sent for a shower (not sent off just to cool tempers) the game continued to the end.
When at school (mid/late 60's) the years teams were challenged to an annual Rugby match by the girls Hockey teams and vice versa, the girls were brutal in both and always had more players left on the pitch at the end. Not just illegal tackles but intentional to get us carried off the pitch often in agony, the ref. almost always seemed to be blindsided and not see them. They nearly always managed to win. Unpadded posts and Hockey sticks hurt and broke bones.
"you cannot behave the way you do in football."
I've seen far worse violence on the rugby field (as a player and a spectator) than I ever have in football. I honestly don't know where rugby fans get this sense of moral superiority from... "so, I punched in the head repeatedly, but then when I got sent off, at least I didn't argue with the ref. I'm far too much of a gentleman for that."
@@johnnyf6617 The violent and illegal tackles have become far more prevalent in Rugby Union since becoming professional, money being the root of it in the win bonus. It was all pals together in the bar after a match when amateur. That being said still less rule breaking than FA or Premiership Football. This video just highlighting the worst. Some of the best Rugby can be enjoyed between the UK Armed Forces teams.
it's an attitude thing, Rugby players will tackle an opponent and get on with the game American football players will tackle an opponent and do the happy dance over his injured carcass because they're arrogant
They get looked at after the match and they are given bans as to the severity of the tackle
I HATED playing rugby at school, I wasn't exactly one of the tallest people and I just couldn't stand it. Watching this makes me realise that I was very much in the right 😂
These are all professional players,and even between them there’s some very short dudes. They look even shorter when compared to the man-mountains at their side,but there’s plenty of people under 170 cm that play professionally.
What they lack in size they make up in speed and agility. As a big dude myself I hated small players,cause they could run laps around me before I got a chance to catch them
Bans can vary after a red is awarded so yes those that were more intentional would get a longer ban.
A Red Card is not only the player out of the game but his/her team must now finish that game one player short.
Usually the Carding will be reviewed by a panel and other penalties may be imposed.
When I was reffing for the Eastern Rockies Rugby Football Union players that had been carded were automatically suspended for the next two weeks and the Referee Society might impose a longer sanction.
Your point about the unintentional acts and the deliberate ones are what the panel looks at when deciding the severity of the sanctions imposed on the culprit.... Oh, history. Does the player have a history of other previous Cardings?
I try to love Blackheath. They're my local team, the first ever open Rugby club and have a great bunch of loyal supporters but there still seems to be a pathological aversion to success on the part of many of those running "The Club". My favourite Premiership club are Saracens.
Most capped player for years Jason Leonard last played for the Harlequins.
Punishment depends on the severity of the action and the players past record. In higher standard games there will be a citing official will watch the game...but will also review the game afterwards to see if there was anything missed by the officials at the time, they can 'up' a sanction from yellow card to red. The player will be ordered to attend a panel where they will asked if there is anything they wish to say about the incident. Usual punishments are anything up to 3 games but have been as much as 6 games.
Hi Amanda One good thing about rugby everyone that plays knows the ref is the boss on the field and has the final word if you agree or not
As I former rugby union player; school rugby union team as a fly-half. Anything above the neck is dangerous and a red-card
If a tackle is deemed bad enough and deliberate they can be,sited and that goes before the governing bodyy for a review and can result in a longer ban
Clubs can Cite a player if it is deemed serious enough. That can lead to suspensions or match bans. Saracens are the best club for me!
There's a sanction short of a red card, a yellow card, which means the player leaves the field for ten minutes. They're currently trialling a system where if the referee shows you a yellow card, a video review official can upgrade it to a red if it's particularly serious, and then you don't come back. A player who get a red card will then have a hearing to decide whether or not he gets suspended for more games. The rugby authorities are very worried about head injuries and their long term effects, so impact to the head is refereed very strictly. There are also compulsory head injury assessments for players who take impacts to the head, and their team can bring on a temporary replacement on while they're being assessed. If there's any sign of concussion they stay off and the substitution is permanent. The main rules on tackling are (1) you can't tackle above the shoulders, (2) you can't tackle a player who's in the air, (3) no shoulder-charges, you have to at least attempt to wrap your arms, and (4) if you lift a player into they air you're responsible for bringing him down safely.
One very clever rule rugby has had for a long time is, only the team captain can speak to the referee. If the referee wants to speak to another player, the captain has to be present. That removes a lot of the backchat you see in other sports.
My team is Ulster, where I'm a season ticket holder. If you want to react to any of our players, I'd suggest Robert Baloucoune, Stuart McCloskey, John Cooney, or one of the smallest players in world rugby, Michael Lowry.
The ones where the guy gets flipped over are dangerous hence the red card. You can’t hit someone without the ball. ❤️👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
Rugby is considered the sport of gentlemen. Played as part of the 'character forming' sports curriculum in Private fee paying schools, at least in the UK.
Meanwhile in the plebs schools up north, we just play it for fun.
the ban depends on the severity of the "crime" it could be just for that match or if it's really bad 3 month ban
South Africa is the best team in the world 3 world cups in 7 attempts and in 2023 we will Make it 4 world cups a record breaker as South Africa and new zeald have 3 cups each.
Not a red card thing, but years back, Wayne Shelford, playing for the All Blacks, had his scrotum torn open in a ruck. He came from the field, had it stiched up by the team doctor, and ran back on and played the rest of the match. Rugby Union is an awesome game played by very tough men and women (you should check out some women's rugby games - as tough as the blokes).
Maybe I remember wrong, but I seem to recall he stitched it up HIMSELF being a doctor! Or maybe it was another dude from his era?
When l was young l played scrum half for rugby league.
Still think it was harder than Union but not being very tall it may be a biased view.
I played on the wing. The tackles tend to be harder in league because the players have more space to run, and build up pace before colliding with an opponent. I'm pretty glad I quit when I was in my early 20s, given what we now know about the long-term consequences of head injuries in rugby.
What's brutal about rugby, lovely gentle game. Red cards do mean immediate ejection from the game, the card can be reviewed and will go towards a greater ban if severe. Dangerous play, esp the high tackles are truly frowned upon. As for fave team - has to be Scotland... player... so hard. And the arguments with the ref - for such a brutal and intense game, the players really do respect the ref. Makes football look like a kids' game.
It really is a beautiful game.
I agree 👍🏻👍🏻
You should note that usually the referee doesn't speak with the player that did the fault, but with his captain. This makes Rugby a special sport. The referee speaks with the captains, the captains (or skippers, if you want) speaks with their own players. Full stop. By the way, how a tackling of a player trying to catch the ball while on air (both the ball and the player) is punished on NFL? some 15 yards or a sent off? Another thing. Sometimes you see Polynesian or Melanesian players doing harsh tackles. It's not because they are bad, but because it's normal in their countries on amateur level. I know it's dangerous, but they are used to it.
They don't just speak with the captain or coach in the NFL. If the official feels the action was brutal enough, the player is fined AND ejected, possibly suspended for one or several games. The coach is also given the 3rd degree by the league.
@@badgerden7080 Thank you for the answer. But now I have two more questions: 1. How the ejected player receive the information that he's sent off? 2. What is the 3rd degree received by the coach?
BTW according to wiki, there have been 12 deaths in rugby union in the last decade. also in the last 20 years in New Zealand alone 119 union and 22 league players were admitted to spinal units wiyj 47 of them in wheelchairs. Rule changes are trying to decrease this event.
Kia ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand hay my favourite Rugby team is the English National first 15
THE WOMBLES
most of the red cards would be considered as normal play in a rugby game back in the 80's
All Blacks for the win tonight against the Aussies! 🇳🇿💪
had to watch twice i didnt see the tackles orriginally i was looking at your reaction
I hated having to play rugby at school , if I got the ball I threw it away as quick as I could because they ALL come running at you... ARGHHHHHHH
Please react to the springboks!
Ill add it to my list :))
Its all about protecting the head and neck.
Unfortunately there is a long list of serious spinel injuries in rugby.
Rugby players respect the referee, every time. It's a rough game, played by gentlemen. Or the opposite ! But the referee is the referee.
They have one bit of protection... :)
In rugby they do have more recpect for the referee than some other sports and tend not to argue when they know that they were wrong.
Hi again Amanda, sorry i meant clarts, me eyes are not what they used to be. Cheers Amanda
You should react to the Springboks are brutal beasts. The most feared rugby team in the world video from die hard rugby channel. You won't regret it. The South African team are the reigning world champions but the video covers highlights from the 2019 world Cup which south africa also won. It will give you a better comparison to the nfl.
One of the things that sets rugby apart from most other sports is that rugby is played with a great deal of respect. Respect for your opponent but also respect for the ref. In rugby you dont speak to the ref unless spoken to. Normally only the captain of the teams speaks to the ref. It's one of the reasons I cant watch football, seeing all those overpaid primadonnas flopping around at the slightest touch and then half the team charging the ref and shouting in his face. What example is that setting to kids playing football? Such an easy fix too if they would just copy how rugby handles that.
Leicester tigers my best team. 🥂
Rugby ... proper carnage.. Football... trip over a worm that's popped its head up, roll around on the floor as if been hit by a train, cry a bit, ...😂
a red is no more part in that game and then a referral to a judicial board
There is a review of intention afterwards, severety and intention are reviewed and possible life long ban be the worst
Players are taught from a very young age to obey the directions of the referee. Of course no one is perfect and some players are just AH but for the most part you will see players comply, none of the prima donna attitude from the round ball game.
Players typically know what they’ve done wrong, even if it was unintentional, so there isn’t any point to standing around having a hissy fit, you’re still going to be penalised and or carded, and if you do want to argue the point the ref will just march the team back another 10.
dayym 1:39 full on Goldberg spear 😅
It's only a Red Card if something you do would have killed a normal size 'Non-Giant' person.
