Those 5 drop goals remind me that when rugby was invented, the whole point was to get into a position to score goals. A try was only worth one point, and the main point of scoring one was to be in a position to take the conversion. That is why it was called a "try" - you could try to take the kick. 5 drop goals you would be the hero.
@@sionfitzgerald6333 Yeh, could not even remember what I had said! In my defence though, it was 8 months ago, that would be a concern if you had replied to a comment I made yesterday. Also, I would make the point that if I comment on something that happened a thousand years ago, all it means is that I can read history, does not make me Methusalah. But yeah, i do have first hand recollection of actual rucking, and the five eigths kicking out in full anywhere for field position, and tries being worth 4 points (or was it 3?), so I am quite old. Nobody wants to get old, but if you don't die before then, that is what happens.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding shithousery, so to clarify... Sometimes it's cheating, other times it's perfectly legal. Usually it's clever, often it winds up the opposition. Occasionally it's downright disrespectful, but it's always funny! P.S. great work Andrew, love these original concept videos.
Leith scrum half : I know it's naive but it's gamesmanship not sportsmanship. Once money crept into rugby it was as plain as the nose on your face that it would go the same way as football.
@@stevetaylor9846 As soon as money enters the arena, kiss honor in the game good bye. I was just thinking about how Rugby has been unaffected by the lure but I was wrong.
Well said Sir, notably by a scrum half. It shows rugby chaps have a well honed sense of humour. I used to play with a prop who carried lipstick in his pocket and would do his lips before the first scrum and then kissed his oppo. Some coped with it and some did not. The rest of us pissed ourselves laughing.
Naas Botha's five drop goals were better I think. ua-cam.com/video/xlrFHd-EHNE/v-deo.html Yes, it wasn't a RWC, but it was the most important tournament in SA in those days and both sides were packed with Springboks. The big difference for me, is that (a) they were taken more in open play i.e less organised (not waiting on a call in the pocket) (b) the old leather ball.
Jacques Hughes Never knew Naas Botha had already done that. Never got to see Botha play as his career was just coming to an end as I got into the game. Would have liked to have seen some of those Boks-Danie Gerber sounded an awesome player.
@@jacqueshughes3085 Naas's five were fantastic, true, but not in an international, so JDB takes the win on this one. In any event, I don't think anyone else has ever done that. Of course, drop goals are not important. They can't win you important matches like, say, the RWC final or anything...
To me thats tactics and playing to your strengths. The whole point of the game is to score points and keeping the scoreboard ticking over puts pressure on the other team.
Janie de Beer's five drop goals were not shithousery at all. Perfectly within the laws and he was just touched by the rugby gods that day. Totally brilliant!
In 2003 Johnny Wilkinson was on fine form for England and there was a lot of squealing that drop-goals ought to be downgraded. They weren't saying that when England were being kicked out of the WC in 1999.
Things is, I don't think you can particularly blame Phillips or Rees, and the refereee didn't see it, but I can't for the life of me understand how the assistant ref said it was definitely the same ball! That was mad.
One I can remember was Auckland vs Canterbury 2002. Canterbury kick the ball too far, Carlos Spencer watches as the ball rolls into their in goal area as Andrew Merhtens approaches. Carlos steps on the ball with his foot, acting as though that counts as forcing the ball. Then he casually picks the ball up and walks towards the 22, like he’s going to take a drop out. Merhtens falls for it and turns his back on Carlos, walking back to the 22. As soon as Andrew turns around Carlos runs and continues play, because you can’t force the ball with your foot 😅 Another one was with Adrian Cashmore for Auckland, in 99 I think. Auckland had a penalty 10m out or something like that. For some reason everyone assumed he was taking a shot at goal. The opposition team turned their backs expecting a shot at goal. Cashmore taps the ball and walks over for a try. Can’t remember who it was against.
On the Little/shoe thing, I can well remember a Swansea v. Ponty game @ St Helen's when a mislaid Ponty boot was bunged into the Bank crowd by a certain Swansea & Wales player. After a short(ish) game of pass the parcel in the crowd it eventually made its way back to the pitch, but not until after that phase of play was over!
I'm unable to use Super Rugby footage or Rugby Championship footage, so I don't think I'll be able to make a de Allende tribute to a standard that he deserves I'm afraid as a lot of footage will be missing.
@@AndrewDavidForde Yeah, O'Shea was the head coach, but Venter was the defense coach and he was the one who came up with the idea. It's typical mischievous Venter. Google it - there's a Guardian article from early 2018 where they interviewed O'Shea, Venter and Parisse about it.
After the ref had instructed John Smit to speak with the team. I'm pretty sure that was the refs last international match - or very close to it, pretty much ended his test career as it should have. Ronan O'Gara was involved from memory - always give me great pleasure to watch him get run over on the way to a try, make stupid decisions then take the man out in the air to snatch defeat from the draw at the end of the 2nd lions test in 09. I don't believe in Karma, but damn he definitely deserved that.
Italy was tactical because the ruck was not formed so it was open play the lenster try counts because it was a penalty he has 4 choices to pick a scrum kick for touch tap and go of kick for goal
I love Nathan Hines for managing to hold 3 players in the ruck. Being honest though, I hated being held back and always saw it as twatty play. A one off in an important position I could forgive, but a player doing it on a regular basis is just wrong as far as I'm concerned and deserves a punch that doesn't get noticed by the officials.
I never understood Italy's offside defence but I really respected their pinash as a newcomer to the 6 nations. They weren't just there to make up the numbers and every year after England they're my favourites.
It was a "loophole" in the laws that they had obviously discussed with the ref beforehand. Before anyone complains about the use of loophole there, yes I know it wasn't a loophole really, but the IRB obviously thought it was against the spirit of the game as changed the rules the following year to stop it happening again. As much as it was entertaining (unless you were an England fan), it's not the sort of thing you want being replicated.
I would also like to suggest people jumping when receiving a pass to avoid a tackle. They should be sin bined but no that's always punish that committed tackler.
Why? They were attempting to charge him and disrupt his place kick, so he just pointed it out. EXACTLY the same way as a scrumhalf steps back from a ruck or a scrum and throws his arms up: "hey ref, do you believe what they are doing here?!"
Obviously it’s being good at rugby, most of these are just being good at rugby, but that’s another level, the disrespect that they just kept slotting the point every time they entered the 22. England had zero response.
I think before or early part of the professional game I remember hearing drop goals just wearnt done or respected. Only trys mattered. I remember people complaining about the English 03 wc victory and we only got it due to wilko boot and didn't play proper rugby. Now people just say fucking impressive but the game is evolved a lot
@@BooshisLoose1 100%agree. To refer this as shit is totally disgusting and disrespectful to a world record. Jannie's 5th drop goal must be one of the best ever. Let's not forget how the WC was won in 1995 & 2003.
Re. Pienaar taking the full 90 seconds - in football they have a rule of 'Ungentlemanly conduct' - don't know if there's something similar in rugby but he should have stopped the conversion and ordered the re-start.
Although Hayden dived and it was definitely skullduggery that’s not what the penalty was given for so had no effect on the game, unlike those in this vid. However, he did succeed in making himself look like a goose.
Loved a lot of them. That lift for the conversion 🤣 Only 2 I would say I was not a fan of was the England Italy game was a joke. Clever but it ruined the game. The other being Wales try against Ireland. I wish that could have been reversed.
I'll never understand why people moan about Italy changing their tackle technique to find a new way of defending and avoiding an offside line forming at a ruck. It was genius, and it was up to England to find a way around it. They ought to have realised that they should just pick-and-go, the advantage Italy exploited wasn't the laws, it's that England's players were dense. It's the only match ever between the teams that's worth watching.
Gordon Struth - to be fair, it wasn’t England being dense it was the law being applied inconsistently during the game. Haskell even asked the ref for clarification and the ref brushed him off with that pathetic ‘im not your coach’ line. Funnily enough, Italy still lost.
About the Italy ruck episode. I understand at that time the rules said no ruck is formed if one team is not putting players into it but what I can't understand is why they don't just tackle the English number 9 , if no ruck is formed then it's open play isnt it ? Why wait for the 9 to pass the ball
to play you have to go through the gate . This being the tackled player . If you go through the gate you would make contact with the English and thereby create a ruck , which they did not want.
The kicking motion/run up has to begin so u can’t move before then and he would just argue that the stationary movement was just part of his warm up for the kick
Absolutely agreed! What do you reckon about Super Rugby Aotearoa? Golden Point introduced and all of a sudden more drop goal attempts by NZ teams in one weekend than in the last few years of Super Rugby 🙄 I like the idea of a clear winner, but all these drop goals can be a bit ridiculous!
@@rukaks Mate I'm all on board with the Golden Point. Nothing worse than getting to full-time and having a draw. Adds a bit of tension and excitement to the end. But I reckon it's good to see it come back into the arsenal. Had a bit too much pressure on the boys over the last few years to always go for a try when just punting one over and resetting would have been a better option. That said, I don't want it to become the default option. It's not in our DNA though so should be OK.
Against "how we play in NZ"? Really? I submit for your consideration one of the most famous drop goals ever, by one of the most famous All Blacks: Zinzan Brooke v England in the RWC 1995. But of course, a Kiwi would never even contemplate such a thing.
Before they changed the rules the offside line at a ruck would only be formed once a player from either side compete. Italy don’t compete at the ruck, therefore there’s no offside line. As long as they don’t play the 9 (illegal) they can stand anywhere they want
Italy found a loop hole in the rules. The loop hole was that the offside line is created when a ruck is formed. Italy put nobody into the ruck which means there is no ruck and therefore no offside line. Since then the rules have been changed and the offside line is created when a tackle is made.
The conversion kick is taken from a point in line with where the ball is touched down, so the closer to the center the better the chance for the kicker to get the extra 2 points
Some great shenanigans! I think you have to be innovative, but it’s clear by actually knowing the laws you can turn them to your advantage... every caught ball while keeping your foot out of touch for example. Think K Read knocking the ball out of Johnny Gray’s hands in 2017 was pretty shitty, but what I would love to see again was a penalty right on the try line and the tallest player on the team *headed* it over the defence for someone to run round & touchdown!! Is this still allowed in either code do you know?
I'm amazed Hines didn't get cracked for that. If they'd at least hit his arms the ref would've been fine with it- like getting raked for holding. You cheat and the ref can allow certain actions to go ahead.
What’s wrong with the lions using lifters, the five drop goals, the Nathan Hines holding 3 grown men, madigans quick try, the racing quick try and the last one, all perfectly legal and a great use of initiative to win the game.
the 5 DGs just highlight the fuckwittery that is rugby union's 3pt for a DG rule. it'd be a far better sport reducing it to one point and penalty kicks to two points as per league.
The thing that most Munster fans overlook is the fact that Peter Stringer dummied the put-in to try to draw the penalty from the Tigers pack. Which is cheating! This is why the ref missed it. Stringer made the motion of putting the ball in and the ball went in! albeit in the direction of the tigers tight five. If Stringer hadn't cheated Backy wouldn't have had the opportunity. Oh and to be fair any decent No. 7 would do the same thing. If you think you're favourite no.7 wouldn't you're kidding yourself. P.s. That was my best trip to Cardiff ever.
The hand of back. i was in the stadium that day, it was practically the last play of the game, munster had an attacking scrum and it had all the signs of a try coming to win the game, the heineken cup final. jesus we were raging. gotta say though, thats rugby!! you do what you can so cant hold it against neil back, it was cheeky but he got away with it.

some of them are just tongue in cheek, some of them are quick and clever thinking, but some are pure cheating that should not exist in the game
You've missed out Haden's dive against Wales in 1978. Massive omission.
Although Hayden dived and it was definitely skullduggery that’s not what the penalty was given for so had no effect on the game, unlike those in this vid. However, he did succeed in making himself look like a goose.
Loved a lot of them. That lift for the conversion 🤣
Only 2 I would say I was not a fan of was the England Italy game was a joke. Clever but it ruined the game. The other being Wales try against Ireland. I wish that could have been reversed.
I'll never understand why people moan about Italy changing their tackle technique to find a new way of defending and avoiding an offside line forming at a ruck. It was genius, and it was up to England to find a way around it. They ought to have realised that they should just pick-and-go, the advantage Italy exploited wasn't the laws, it's that England's players were dense. It's the only match ever between the teams that's worth watching.
Gordon Struth - to be fair, it wasn’t England being dense it was the law being applied inconsistently during the game. Haskell even asked the ref for clarification and the ref brushed him off with that pathetic ‘im not your coach’ line. Funnily enough, Italy still lost.
Does Ronan O Gara scoring a try against the Springboks, after the ref told John Smit to talk to his players count? ... Or is that more in the ref?
Also, Carlos Spenser walking to the corner flag to score when he could've scored under the posts... And still getting the conversion
Not a Rugby fan.
UA-cam: Wanna watch this?
Sure ...
2:47 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How about Maro Itoje pulling a players jersey inside out over their head whilst trying to clamber over a ruck.
He inspired me to do it myself 😂
About the Italy ruck episode. I understand at that time the rules said no ruck is formed if one team is not putting players into it but what I can't understand is why they don't just tackle the English number 9 , if no ruck is formed then it's open play isnt it ? Why wait for the 9 to pass the ball
to play you have to go through the gate . This being the tackled player . If you go through the gate you would make contact with the English and thereby create a ruck , which they did not want.
De Beer’s drop goals against the English haha. People in glass houses…
de beer - a typical Sth African excitement machine ...
Ian madigans quick penalty was funny cause he now plays for ulster
What the hell is De Beer's 5 drop goals doing on here? Genius, not sh*thousery.
It should really just be 20 examples from the All Blacks only!
Clearly the Boks pack didn't fancy it, that day.
nice vid
one question: were do u get ur vids cause i was thinking of making a channel too
Tbf the Carbobel one (I think, the French u20 conversion one) of he moves aren't they allowed to charge?
The kicking motion/run up has to begin so u can’t move before then and he would just argue that the stationary movement was just part of his warm up for the kick
Seeing all those drop kicks just crushes my soul. Can't fault him for it, but it's so antithetical to how we play in NZ
Absolutely agreed!
What do you reckon about Super Rugby Aotearoa? Golden Point introduced and all of a sudden more drop goal attempts by NZ teams in one weekend than in the last few years of Super Rugby 🙄 I like the idea of a clear winner, but all these drop goals can be a bit ridiculous!
@@rukaks Mate I'm all on board with the Golden Point. Nothing worse than getting to full-time and having a draw. Adds a bit of tension and excitement to the end.
But I reckon it's good to see it come back into the arsenal. Had a bit too much pressure on the boys over the last few years to always go for a try when just punting one over and resetting would have been a better option.
That said, I don't want it to become the default option. It's not in our DNA though so should be OK.
Against "how we play in NZ"? Really?
I submit for your consideration one of the most famous drop goals ever, by one of the most famous All Blacks: Zinzan Brooke v England in the RWC 1995.
But of course, a Kiwi would never even contemplate such a thing.
@@interestedbystander196 I stand corrected. How could I forget the number one skill required of all loose forwards; droppies.
@@mikedangerdoes Doesn't matter what position the man was playing in, it was a brilliant drop goal in a WC semi final.
Neil Back 😂😂😂
can someone explain tf going on at 6:13 England vs Italy???
Before they changed the rules the offside line at a ruck would only be formed once a player from either side compete. Italy don’t compete at the ruck, therefore there’s no offside line. As long as they don’t play the 9 (illegal) they can stand anywhere they want
No, I am not the coach.
Italy found a loop hole in the rules. The loop hole was that the offside line is created when a ruck is formed. Italy put nobody into the ruck which means there is no ruck and therefore no offside line.
Since then the rules have been changed and the offside line is created when a tackle is made.
I thought it was pretty clever.
But I expected England to have a response after half time.
WRU286 literally the only reason if jones hadn’t of complained it would never have changed that season
why they tend to run into the center of the scorearea to score? Why not just run straight into the area and then score?
The conversion kick is taken from a point in line with where the ball is touched down, so the closer to the center the better the chance for the kicker to get the extra 2 points
Some great shenanigans! I think you have to be innovative, but it’s clear by actually knowing the laws you can turn them to your advantage... every caught ball while keeping your foot out of touch for example.
Think K Read knocking the ball out of Johnny Gray’s hands in 2017 was pretty shitty, but what I would love to see again was a penalty right on the try line and the tallest player on the team *headed* it over the defence for someone to run round & touchdown!! Is this still allowed in either code do you know?
It’s still considered no knock on off the head in both I’m pretty sure, not entirely sure tho. Definitely qualifies as shithousery
_Is it illegal to block a penalty going over the posts by using a lifter?_ 🤷🏼♂️
I think it is *now*.
Why is Dan Biggar doing the entire macarena before every kick not on here?
Wouldn't really call de Beer's drop goals shithousery, more like opportunism.
I'm amazed Hines didn't get cracked for that. If they'd at least hit his arms the ref would've been fine with it- like getting raked for holding. You cheat and the ref can allow certain actions to go ahead.
Nothing like a bit of raking and stamping if guy is offside in the ruck too!! As long as it’s not his head that is😀
What was shit about England loosing by 5 drop goals when thats exactly how they won the world cup
Maybe Cudmore’s from Quebec
Cheeky one by Neil Back
What’s wrong with the lions using lifters, the five drop goals, the Nathan Hines holding 3 grown men, madigans quick try, the racing quick try and the last one, all perfectly legal and a great use of initiative to win the game.
Nathan Hines was clearly not legal they’re ur not allowed to hold a player in the ruck after the balls lefy
I don't think you understand what shithousery means.
So holding people illegally in the ruck is now know as using initiative? I don’t think so
the 5 DGs just highlight the fuckwittery that is rugby union's 3pt for a DG rule. it'd be a far better sport reducing it to one point and penalty kicks to two points as per league.
Neil Back, just cheating.
I sense a butthurt Munster fan - sincerly, a tigers fan😂
A Dirty, Low down trick and to be honest that is what I remember when I see or hear Neil Back's name.
@@marathonman51 Funny, the first thing I think when I hear his name is world cup winner.
The thing that most Munster fans overlook is the fact that Peter Stringer dummied the put-in to try to draw the penalty from the Tigers pack. Which is cheating! This is why the ref missed it. Stringer made the motion of putting the ball in and the ball went in! albeit in the direction of the tigers tight five. If Stringer hadn't cheated Backy wouldn't have had the opportunity.
Oh and to be fair any decent No. 7 would do the same thing. If you think you're favourite no.7 wouldn't you're kidding yourself.
P.s. That was my best trip to Cardiff ever.
The hand of back. i was in the stadium that day, it was practically the last play of the game, munster had an attacking scrum and it had all the signs of a try coming to win the game, the heineken cup final. jesus we were raging. gotta say though, thats rugby!! you do what you can so cant hold it against neil back, it was cheeky but he got away with it.
No it's cheating and a yellow card offence!
