When you said 3.47 secs 'Can the Giants sign him' - he died from an illness which he played with quite a few years ago. He was offered a big contract with the Dallas Cowboys but said 'no, he just wants to play rugby with his friends/ team mates' R.I.P Jonah, IMO the best player to grace the sport but not my opinion, the first Rugby player to transend the sport and become a global sports superstar.
So you only score a try when you place the ball on the ground in the “end zone”, until then you can still be tackled. Also the conversion kick attempt after scoring is taken in line from where you place it down, so if you score in the corner your conversion is from the corner which is why they try to get as close to the posts to make the kick easier
Yes. Play is continuous until some kind of error is made or a try is scored. The conversion kick can be taken from any distance back from the try line, so long as it's in line with the point where the ball was touched down. As you probably know, the ball can be kicked forwards but cannot be passed forwards, only back.
Yeah you can kick the ball forward or even backward, to gain an advantage To use the halfway line as a guide if a player passing the ball was standing on the line, the player receiving the ball must catch the ball in the hand behind the line. Simply being behind the line but catching the ball forward of the line is deemed forward it can be a controversial fine line.
5:45 so the reason they turn and keep running after they are in the "endzone" is because, like in the NFL, after you score a try (touchdown) you then have a conversion (same as an extra point kick attempt, only in rugby its worth 2 points), however the conversion kick is take from the same latitude as the ball is touched down, so if you can get the ball closer to the center before touching it down it makes the conversion (extra point attempt) easier. Imagine in the NFL if you scored a touchdown right in the corner the kicker had to take the extra point kick attempt from right on the sideline.
The closer the try is to the poles, it determines from which angle you going to be kicking the extra 2 points from after a try. The closer the try...the straighter the kick...if you score the try further away from the poles, you get to kick a much difficult kick for the extra 2 points from a wider angle.
I will say this forever, Christian Cullen was and is by far the best fullback of the modern era. And that's coming from a South African. He was so entertaining! XD
They turn and keep running so that they can place the ball down nearer to the uprights. The closer the ball is the easier it is for the kicker to kick extra points because he will be lining up where the ball was placed.
These tries aren't really the greatest in their own right. They're mainly great in relation to the importance of the various matches, which isn't explained.
Agreed - many of these are fairly arbitrary plays, just pivotal in terms of the game they are scored in. These guys need to watch some games and give these plays context.
So the reason they run toward to posts in the end zone, is that it makes it easier for the kicker to convert as his angle would be better. If you score a try, 5 points, you get a free kick at goal for 2 points. Penalty kick and a drop kick ( the player has to drop the ball onto the ground first before he kicks it) are both worth 3 points. Can only pass the ball backwards, can kick forwards. Once you get into it, much easier.
The name 'Try' dates back to the beginnings of rugby when no points were awarded for touching the ball down beyond the try line, but it gave your team the opportunity to 'try' a kick at goal, which was worth 1 point. Nowadays a try scores 5 points, and still gives the opportunity to kick at goal, called a 'conversion' (you are converting the try into a goal), which is worth 2. The conversion kick can be taken at any distance from the try line, but must be perpendicular to the point at which the ball was grounded. So if the ball is grounded in the corner, the conversion kick must be taken from much further away (maybe 30 - 40 metres) to allow an angle on the goal for the kick, whereas if it is grounded between the goal posts, the conversion can be taken from as little as 5-10 metres away.
Ok guys now that we have seen your video of try's being scored the backs , you definitely have to do one of try's being scored by the forwards . As a former prop forward , both loose and tight head , there is nothing more spectacular than seeing the big forwards score
The team in the full black uniform are the All Blacks... the most successful international sports team of all time... with a win ratio of 74% across their 118 years of playing...
5:50 Where a team scores a 'try' [places the ball] over the try line is where they take the 'conversion' [a free kick between the posts]. So the further away from the posts, the harder it will be, so they try to get as close to being inbetween the two posts as possible.
In rugby when you score a try (touchdown), to convert the try (extra point, although in rugby you get 2 points for a conversion ), you kick from where the ball is touched down. It's not like American football where the extra point is always taken in front of the goal posts. Running around to get closer to the posts makes the conversion easier for the kicker. The opposing team are also allowed to run at the kicker when he begins to run in for the kick, similar to your system.
they run along behind the post (end zone) because where to ball is put down, is where the kicker lines up to try and convert the try. So closer to thepost make it easier to convert the try
To answer your question at 5:49. The conversion, which is the kick for extra points they take after a try (the equivalent of the kick for an extra point after a touchdown in american football) has to be taken in line with where the ball was placed down. So when they can they try and get as close to the middle of the pitch as possible to make the kick easier for whoever's taking it
You turn on the endzone if you’re clear of opponents to touch the ball down as near centre as possible. Be easier for the kicker to score the additional 2 points after your try (touchdown).
We run closer to the posts if we can because where you touch the ball down is where you kick from. Under post means you kick straight as opposed to from the sideline.
because when you score a try you are allowed a kick at goal for two points or a cornversion that is why we try and get as near to the posts because you kick in line with where the ball was touched down
5:50 "How come they keep running in the end zone?" The reason is that after scoring a try (5 points) you get a chance to convert your try (2 extra points), which means a kick at the goal posts. They way that works is you have to kick from in line with wherever you scored the try. So if you scored way out in the corner, you'd have to kick from next to the touchline (but can take it as far back as you like). If you scored under the posts, you could take the kick right in front of the posts. So scoring nearer the posts is preferred as it makes the conversion easier. Hope that helps!
In rugby where you score the try (touchdown) is the position on the field where you have to attempt the extra point. That's why you see the players running to the middle....to make the extra point easier
It's called a Try because, in the "olde days' you did not score any points for touching the ball down in Goal. What you got was a chance to kick for points. You got a TRY at GOAL. Now, lets talk about where that attempt was/is taken from. The kick is taken from anywhere along a line perpendicular to the Goal Line through the point where the ball was touched down. In other words, if you touch the ball down 3 millimeters inside the right touchline, you can back up as far as you like but the kick is taken from 3mm inside the right touchline. This can be a very difficult kick because, from way over there the posts look very narrow. Players turn towards the center before putting the ball down to give their kicker a bit of a break.
The 2 point conversion (kick through the posts) is attempted after a try is scored. Imagine a straight line being drawn from where the ball was placed down in the goal area to in front of the posts. The kicker (usually a 10 but sometimes a 9 or 15) can kick it from anywhere along that imaginary straight line. Further back means more distance bet less of an angle. Obviously if the try scorer put the ball down in between the posts, the easier the conversion is as it can be any distance away and straight in front like an NFL conversion. Nowadays the top tier kickers hit 85% of kicks wherever they are on the pitch and often hit a high percentage of the conversions or penalties , even if they are placed on the side line.
Two of the best tries i have ever seen , was the solo try by Rodrigo Fernandez for Chile against the USA in Chile and the try by the Italians against Wales. Both those try's were scored from a long way out but Fenandez's was definitely the better ,as he did in in pouring rain, while scything through nearly the whole US team
I'm convinced if the US took this seriously,they would be just as athletic. Rugby is a much faster game and no where as many stoppages as American Football. Apparently,Rugby is the fastest growing sport in the US as the guys already used to carrying the ball could transfer their skills plus the recent Rugby World cup showcased some stunning games and was watched by a lot of Americans.
The guy you asked if the Giants could sing was named Jonah Lomu, he was an outstanding rugby player, the GOAT, and unfortunately he passed away in novermber 18th of 2015
There are 2 codes of Rugby Wigan are League This is Union Different rules... They continue to run in the in zone to get closer to the uprights to make the conversion kick easier.
The reason they keep on running is that the conversion, rugby's version of P.A.T. is taken in line with where the ball is placed down. Not straight in front of the posts like American Football
One of the clips showed Jonah Lomu of New Zealand All Blacks steamrollering over four or five England players. No surprise there, he was around 6’5” and 260lbs. And he was a natural sprinter. Immensely strong and athletic.
I didn't see this one on the list... Ireland winger Denis Hickie vs Australia, collects a crossfield kick about 3m from the try line, steps inside the first tackle, steps inside the second, spins the third and ducks under the fourth to ground the ball. Very fast and agile player! ua-cam.com/video/asoNVLyEQlM/v-deo.htmlsi=mlT1y0VIPorOnvwG Also, I never agree with intercept tries being on greatest try lists because 99% are due to an error from the other team and capitalising on errors is a very basic part of the game. It's exciting but the skill level is similar to a forward who runs at a back, crashes through the tackle and makes a few metres.
Rugby has the teamwork and hand-skills of basketball, but with the aggression and athleticism of NFL. When you score a try (5pts), you get a conversion (2pt feild goal) directly perpendicular from where the try is scored. The more central to the feild the try is scored, the easier it is for the kicker to get the conversion, because they will be right out front. If you score the try in the corner, the kick will have to be taken beside the sideline, which is much more difficult.
You do have a national team! I believe a proper MLR programme is being invested in to grow the game. Your sevens team has had some notable scalps. The 2031 Rugby World Cup is being held in the US which should see it grow. I was at a few of those games, 2 memorable ones was the Chris Ashton try Eng v Aus, and was in Brighton to witness the greatest rugby shock in history, captured in this video, where Japan beat South Africa!
@cityboysarchive Jonah was one of the greats and his size and power changed the game forever... however, this guy was even more remarkable as he was a 'little guy' in a game of giants... Shane Williams - definitely, absolutely one of the greats and I guarantee you'll enjoy watching his skill and pace! 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/FCHneg9kyzM/v-deo.html
Yeah Polynesians ( NZ maori, Tongans Samoans) are born rugby places. They're the biggest ( in terms of body size) race on the planet and are naturally athletic. Think of Stephen Adams in the NBA
Rugby is played worldwide - even the US has a team (though admittedly they are not a tthe level of even much smaller countries) I often wonder why the US does not play at a really serious level some of the most popular sports in the world. With the US population they should be seriously competing at the highest level in sports like Mens Football (soccer), Field Hockey, Rugby etc, which are played worldwide. Yet the two most popular sports in the US are really only played in the US - I often wonder if it is down to the TV companies because most sports played around the world have long periods of play with a break at half time so there are very few ads whereas US sport seems to be interrupted by ads every few minutes
3 hours long's with stoppages & commercials every few minutes, there's offense, defence, special teams all in one team makes it boring...Rugby Union & Rugby League...one team, you have to attack, defend & anyone's allowed to kick the ball no stopping 'cept for injuries...two 40 minute halves with a 10 minute half time break..& it really does bring people together no matter who you play for or support
The "greatest" team try ever isn't even on the video. Gareth Edwards try for the Barbarians against the All Blacks back in 1973. ua-cam.com/video/BXUdGPjJHkc/v-deo.html
You watched a New Zealand compilation. New Zealand will categorically refuse to admit that South Africa can play good rugby... In South Africa we have a standing joke about New Zealand fans when they lose to the Springboks. What's the difference between a New Zealand fan and a jet engine? The jet engine stops whining at the airport. Have a look at South African tries or South Africa New Zealand games.
The Try Hilights-Video you guys are watching is quite ancient and most of those guys are retired now you should watch more recent Hilights the reason being because these Athletes just get better so I really urge you to watch more recent Hilights-Package for instance we just had the 2023 Rugby World Cup you should look at the South African Springboks (World Champions vs France (Hosts of 2023 Rugby World Cup) & Ireland vs New Zealand..... These are Quarter-final knockout Games so who-ever loses these Games does not qualify for Semi-finals they get knocked-out & hve-to Go Home & these were x2 of the Greatest Games of Rugby Your ever likely to see!!! But do yourself a favour if your unable-to watch the Full-Game (which is probably the Best-thing to do) then @least try to find the Extended Hilights-Package of both Games as the Regular Hilights do not do these Games Justice @All!!!!
10 times more exiting than what you call American “football” 40 minutes each way without interruptions apart from a half time break. The single referee has to be addressed only as SIR. Why do you say “football” when the feet are NOT involved by the field players ? Your goal kicks are directly in front of the posts which a 4 year old could convert.
Steroid would also be really bad for rugby players as they swell your muscles. If you punch someone on steroids in the biceps it kills. Useless in a physical game
This must be a pretty old video, and from someone who only watched southern hemisphere rugby. Pretty weak. Alot of the so called amazing skills, are pretty standard in the modern game. You need to watch a more recent video

The illness he had that eventually killed him required him to have a Kidney Transplant. I used to work with the guy who donated a Kidney for him.

gareth edwards vs all blacks is the best try ever scored
all four of use take on a challenge from four of us same build and weight :) kiwi mana.

Look up Jonah Lomu tries
Your retirement game??

Yeah Polynesians ( NZ maori, Tongans Samoans) are born rugby places. They're the biggest ( in terms of body size) race on the planet and are naturally athletic. Think of Stephen Adams in the NBA

In rugby you can only pass the ball backwards.

My exact thoughts😂😂
He’s shit.
Agree. And a video of the greatest tries without any french tries is stupid...
Most people outside of the USA don't acknowledge the NFL 😢
There are good reasons. 😁
3 hours long's with stoppages & commercials every few minutes, there's offense, defence, special teams all in one team makes it boring...Rugby Union & Rugby League...one team, you have to attack, defend & anyone's allowed to kick the ball no stopping 'cept for injuries...two 40 minute halves with a 10 minute half time break..& it really does bring people together no matter who you play for or support
Most of these are against us, the springboks 😢

The Try Hilights-Video you guys are watching is quite ancient and most of those guys are retired now you should watch more recent Hilights the reason being because these Athletes just get better so I really urge you to watch more recent Hilights-Package for instance we just had the 2023 Rugby World Cup you should look at the South African Springboks (World Champions vs France (Hosts of 2023 Rugby World Cup) & Ireland vs New Zealand..... These are Quarter-final knockout Games so who-ever loses these Games does not qualify for Semi-finals they get knocked-out & hve-to Go Home & these were x2 of the Greatest Games of Rugby Your ever likely to see!!! But do yourself a favour if your unable-to watch the Full-Game (which is probably the Best-thing to do) then @least try to find the Extended Hilights-Package of both Games as the Regular Hilights do not do these Games Justice @All!!!!
These are old must watch a more recent video
10 times more exiting than what you call American “football” 40 minutes each way without interruptions apart from a half time break. The single referee has to be addressed only as SIR.
Why do you say “football” when the feet are NOT involved by the field players ? Your goal kicks are directly in front of the posts which a 4 year old could convert.
Steroid would also be really bad for rugby players as they swell your muscles. If you punch someone on steroids in the biceps it kills. Useless in a physical game
Too much southern hemisphere uughh!
This must be a pretty old video, and from someone who only watched southern hemisphere rugby. Pretty weak. Alot of the so called amazing skills, are pretty standard in the modern game. You need to watch a more recent video
American football? That's something our women folk would play if they didn't already have women's rugby 💪😂
No the giants can’t sign him, he’s dead!
These are definitely not the best tries of all time. A lot of these tries were average lmao.
Only one South African try? Think this is an All Black fans perspective on tries.....
