lol, I remember all the training we used to have to do when I played at school. so much core work and leg work
Football (soccer) is 90 mins of the players pretending to be injured. Rugby is 80 mins of the players pretending they're not.
Hahaha Absolutely bang on 🤣
I love rugby as much as I love football there's no real reason to bash it. Footballers stay down because it's incentivised. The ref only pays attention when you hit the ground or are physically injured. Rugby players would do the same if the benefit of it was the same. With the increase of Tmo checks more rugby players are staying down after collisions because they will go back and penalise the other team
@t._dot no bashing here, it was a light hearted comment only to make people smile
@@juliaosborn5508 in that case... I take it all back😂

About the kicking: in rugby you cannot pass the ball forward. You call only pass sideways or backwards. The only way to pass forwards is with a kick.
And you have to be behind that kick in order to touch it afterwards if you're on the same team, otherwise you're offside
Tackling in rugby is more technical than American football.
You can't tackle above the shoulders, so no arms around neck or head.
You're not allowed to "shoulder charge" tackle - i.e. dive and use momentum to knock a player over WITHOUT wrapping the arms.
Basically, for a tackle to be legal, you have to wrap your arms around the opposing player.
That's why it's so darn difficult to get some of those big guys down.
You can dive and wrap your arms around the tree trunk legs if you want to, but you're risking a rising knee to the face or collar bone.
That is why most of the tackles you see are at waist/chest height.
A great reaction which shows a good understanding of the game. Just a couple of things. Many Americans don't understand how a player can run through the opposing team without being tackled because they don't realise how wide a rugby field is. Also, if you lift a player in a tackle then it is your responsibility to make sure that you do not tip the player beyond the horizontal i.e. they do not go head first into the ground.
This was amazing-- each clip clips was more unbelievable than the one before it! I like to've fell out when the player picked up his opponent and used him as a battering ram...and then ol' #3 made that unbelievable run, looking like he was supercharged and yet seeming to pick up even more speed as he ran...and it just kept on like that, getting better and better. Thanks! (I'm still laughing when I think of that battering ram thing...).
4:36 kicking the ball while in play you must kick the ball directly and only you or a player that was on side/behind may contend for the ball. If you are attempting to kick for goal while in play then the ball must touch the ground before kicking this is called a drop kick and if converted is worth 3 points.
"In rugby, the forwards are carrying the piano so that the backs can play it". What an epic sport.
The last world cup France vs the world champions South Africa 🇿🇦 was one of the best games I've ever seen
Easiest way to know who are the faster players is to check their numbers on the back of their jerseys. No 9 to 15 are the faster players on the team. 11 and 14 are the Wingers. They are the men with the jet shoes on. No 1 to 8 is the men that do all the heavy lifting and grunt work in the scrums and line outs.
An American here who has been watching rugby since the 1990’s. Also understand that they don’t have offensive/defensive/special teams. These folks go full force for 40 minutes, get a 20 minute half break, then go another 40 minutes. Non-stop. Most people who leave the field are because of injury. The don’t have an oxygen tank on the sideline to go take hits off of after one of those 100 meter runs.
“Give blood, play rugby”
Rugby players, especially those at international level like most of the ones featured here, are probably the best all round athletes in the world. They have strength, speed, skills and spatial awareness, as opposed to many or even most other sports where something there is lacking.
Also, the Olympics are coming up soon and Rugby 7s will be one of the earlier events so plenty of live rugby to watch no matter where you are!
Jona Lomu: RIP. One of the very best all blacks there ever was.
Yes
He was a good man on and off the field
One of the very best... period!
6' 5", 270lb and ran the 100m in 10.7sec. The stats speak for themselves.
@1:56 Antoine Dupont, best player of the world right now. A must watch highlights.
This guy barely makes mistakes and is totally amazing to watch.
Polo, I'd love to see your reaction to the New Zealand 'All Blacks ' rugby team perform the greatest Haka ever. Bet you'll love it.
The equivalent of a Touchdown is called a Try, but in Rugby you have to literally touch the ball down to score. "In Touch” means out of bounds. If you drop the ball forwards it’s called a Knock On, and the opponent is then awarded a Scrum Penalty.
Which is really odd, because in American football the equivalent of a try is a "touchdown", even though they don't have to touch it down! Shows American football's origins in Rugby. In Rugby, originally you didn't score points for a try, but it did give you the right to kick at the goal, it was known as a "try at goal". Now the try is the main point scorer and the following kick at goal is known as a "conversion", giving extra points on top of the try.
They may not use pads, but they have to make sure the tackle is legal. American Football needs more regulations in tackling, Steve Young had to retire early because of concussions and many more players are practically crippled upon retirement.
This is why American football never caught on in Europe and other rugby playing nations.
In rugby, kicks are not only a matter of pass or freeing the ball from a defender wall. One of the big tactics in rugby is to kick "in touch" (out of bounds), so that the game will be displaced at the exit point of the ball. But if the ball exits before touching the ground, the lineout sequence is done at the kick level, not at the exit level!!! So, this kind of kick is an art by itself, almost a golf shot, to approach the goal line. Considering the fact that the ball is oval, chaos is a parameter too!
Defenders in rugby have a tremendous work to do, they must thwart numerous tactical contexts AT THE SAME TIME: full speed runs, side passes, brute force, organized mauls (multiple players, on their feet, bound with the ball carrier), drop kicks, in-touch kicks, etc. And they can easily take a penalty, by being offsides, being dangerous, disturbing the game, etc.
In touch means they basically went out of bounds. A try is when you score or the equivalent of a TD. You’ve also seen some clips here where it’s actually 7s I.e there’s 7 men on the field instead of 15 - this is more fast guys and the ultimate test of endurance as the field is the same size!
I would actually say Rugby is more strict on tackling so you must use your arms and everyone is taught to tackle low.
We had a rugby team in high school, no football but soccer and rugby. Yeah you got hit really hard with no protective equipment. I remember playing football in the Navy, I remember jumping up to catch a pass when I was hit by a guy who used to play for the Michigan state and he nailed me when I was in midair. I remember hitting the concrete and my head bouncing up where I caught a microsecond glimpse of my teammates going crazy because I had amazingly caught that ball. I woke up 2 hours later in the Naval hospital with a severe concussion. Point being you play on concrete your going to get hurt. Hey bring it on.
Loving these rugby reactions - "in to touch" means out of bounds in American football terms, not to be confused with your 'touchdown' FYI a 'touchdown' in rugby is called a 'Try'
Since there is no forward pass in Rugby, the kick is a way to move the ball down the field where anyone can recover it or to another player on the team.
"In touch" means it's out of bounds over the side line, (not shorthand for touchdown.)
Hi Polo! Welcome to Rugby.
The number 9 making the “impossible” tackle at 1:06 is Antoine Dupont. He’s the best player in the world right now, and arguably the greatest ever. He’s world class in both attack and defence. If there’s one Rugby player you should watch, it’s him.
Saffa here, if anyone deserves a World Cup it's Dupont. The French deserve to put one in the trophy case. If ANY northern nation should hold the cup it's those fellas.
You should react to Cheslin Colbe,the guy is a stepping machine.
Small guys with good speed, such as I was and most of my grandsons are today, play at number 11 or 14. These are the wingers. We run like a bat out of hell because if we're caught we'd get squished like a cockroach. 😂
don't forget us little 9s trying to stay away from front rowers😁😁
6:41 Christian Cullen - The Paekakariki Express. Check this guy.
About passes and kicking: the general idea is that the ball must be accompanied by players at any time. In this context:
- hand passes must always be done backwards.
- a forward kicked ball must be caught either by the kicker himself (so he must run the same distance as the ball) or by any teammate that is behind him or at the same level as him at the time of the kick.
So, no forward pass, no kick pass to a "placed" player.
This ensures that the man that carries the ball, at any time, has done all the job. The trajectory of the ball is given by muscle only 😅
Nice reaction man. Into touch means out of bounds in American Football
Should check out some Jonah Lomu highlights. He was the hottest thing in rugby for a long while. Speed AND power. Drag the whole opposing team down the field
More rugby reactions bro🤗🤗🤗🤗. You are doing a stunning job.
welcom to the rugby family mr Polo, hope you enjoy every video mate!
Rugby is all about creating space or dynamic overload… You’re trying to get space for your fast guys, or your huge guys running at little guys (the fast guys are usually little)… If you’re truly blessed your team has players like Jonah Lomu or Ndolo who was enormous and rapid so it didn’t matter who was in front of him
Taking nothing away from Derrick Henry but the most memorable of his stiff arms tend to be on 180-200lb corners (think Josh Norman).
Furlong (green 3 and the All Blacks) is probably dropping 250-80lb players there.
Polo, If you want to watch a full game that is absolutely nuts, you should watch the England vs Scotland match from 2019. It's availble on youtube because during covid full repeats of games were getting uploaded for free (you'll have to skip past some rubbish chat at the beginning, though). Or the highlights are out there if you want a shorter video to react to. it's the highest scoring tied game in the history of international rugby. No more spoliers from me.
Yeah the passes are more to keep a teams momentum going forward & giving the ball to a player in better space gives the receiver that split second longer with the ball in hand to do something special on attack
Awesome reaction bro. In Rugby you can only tackle the player with the ball, so when rugby players kick the ball you cant tackle the kicker. its another way to get behind the defensive line🫡
It's a try not a touch.. The sideline is called a touch line.. So they say into touch. Means the ball is out.
loving this rugby content. You can kick the ball at any time. But obviously you lose posession. The only people on your team that can then go for the ball that you kicked, must of been behind you when you kicked it. If you see space in behind the defence and youre running fast, you can kick it yourself and hopefully the defence has to spin around and you can burn them to go and get the ball yourself. But they should have their full back behind there. He is typically the last line of defence, but they arent always there. Takes good vision to kick it and collect it yourself
If you're interested, and love near to Washington DC, scotland are playing the USA at Audi Field on July 12th.
Will any of them be able to have kids?? I understand they don't wear cups!
Again, you should check out women's rugby, its insane
You can only pass the ball back by hand to a team mate, but you can kick it forward and chase it.
To bad they didn have Chris calling that end to end run - "He could go all the way!"
When you watch a few games the commentators will catch up with the rules.
And no padding either!
Another guy who's obviously never been hit top speed by a guy who is wearing armor. Try getting hit in the knee or shins wth a metal helmet. Or having your fingers between 2 helmets smashing together. That's why there were that stuff. Faster and hard hitting.
4:30 nah man, its a true team sport. there might be a lebron in there, but its just one more link in the chain.
The two wingers are usually the fastest players, but usually plays revolve around punching holes or finding gaps in defence. Everyone support each other, so even the fastest winger will have a support runner near them to take the ball if needed. Players will sometimes deliberately delay the pass to draw in the defenders, before offloading the ball to a team-mate to break defence and score.
You also often see the biggest and slowest guys on the team score, unlike NFL, every player have a chance to score
"Rugby is a game played by real men with odd shape balls"
Welcome to rugby, no going back now. It’s an epic global sport!
I like hearing your reactions. I recently subscribed - any chance of hearing your reaction to "Stay" by Shakespears Sister?
The Video itself is interesting....and the song itself..I'll let you judge that
Watch the beginning of a game with New Zealand.
4:30 the idea with rugby is that different positions have different sizes and skills, so it's often about trying to manipulate where people are to get mismatches or overlaps. Imagine it as being like in the NFL, but if a tackle is made, there is another snap IMMEDIATELY or the other team gets the ball, and so whoever gets there first has to react accordingly. Each play is called a 'phase', so when a team keeps control of the ball for a long time it's called 'going through the phases'. It's why the scrum-half (#9) tends to be small and quick, because they are the main passer on the team so they have to get to those tackles fast to set the next move. Get the right plays and formations and you can end up with situations that would be like William Perry running short yardage at the opposition's punter, or Calvin Johnson going deep in man coverage against a lineman.
"The kick thing" is complicated, as there are a number of rules around it, but the basic thing is that essentially, you can advance the ball by kicking and both teams can compete for the ball once it's been kicked - however from the kicking team, only players who were behind the ball when it was kicked can play the ball. Everybody else is offside, but they are put back 'onside' when they are overtaken by somebody who was behind the ball when it was kicked. Because there is no blocking in rugby and you can't throw the ball forward, there are different types of kicks to advance the ball - from the 'grubber' (like an onside kick style), the 'crossfield kick' (essentially a kick pass from one side of the pitch to the other) and the 'up and under' or 'Garryowen' (a high hangtime kick designed to create a jump catch situation where both teams can fight for the ball upfield) are attacking kicks. Teams will also just kick the ball away similar to going three-and-out in American Football, but because of the way rugby works, they will simply do this when the attack has stalled, and this could take anything from one play to twenty or thirty. Or even none, because, with no blocking, the deep-lying player fielding the kick might see no good option ahead of him and just punt back. It's very common to see the scrum-half kick directly so that the coverage can get a running headstart and put pressure on the catching team, this is equivalent to a QB pooch punt, and is called a "box kick".
That's a good explanation. Another reason for an attacking side to kick is for field position. If the team with the ball isn't making much forward progress and they are stuck back in their half of the field, a kick into touch (the sideline) means that a lineout will occur at the point the ball leaves the playing field. At the lineout, the two teams can then contest when the ball is thrown in by the team that didn't kick the ball out. Polo - you should check out some lineout highlights if you can find some.
The physicality of these guys has me wondering how many NFL draft picks would be better suited looking at the rugby teams.
The main thing would be just not knowing how to play the game as good as someone who’s grown up with it, I think there are plenty of Rugby players that could make the switch and NFL players that could also but it’s not a question of physicality or athleticism but a question of adapting to a different game! They have some similarities but at the end of the day are very different games!
You may hv been missing out my man😢 but there's plenty of time to make up cz this amazing sport 🏉 ain't goin' no where.
It's here to stay 🫡

You should look out for the next Rugby World Cup. I'm always supporting Fiji--they only have a population of around a million, so half a million dudes, but I swear those dudes must be made for rugby, they're immense! And man, they were unlucky in the last world cup, they barely lost to England in the quarters, who barely lost to South Africa in the semis, who squeaked by the All Blacks (NZ) in the final. Should've been Fiji!
Bro, I love that you're doing these. Played rugby in college, and it's by far my favorite sport. Check out All blacks greatest, The NZ team(All Blacks) is regarded by some as the best in rugby.. Best Haka(NZ does a war dance before every match). You're welcome in advance, and Jonah Lomu greatest too, while we're at it... Keep fighting the good fight, bro. You're one of my favorite reactors. And I hope you make all the money.
Get a grip on the basic rules and you'll enjoy it a whole lot more.
I don't know how NFL players would fare transitioning the rugby. NFL training is all about 5-10 second bursts of energy, with the "plays" being directed - rugby is pretty much full-on for 40 minutes, with the entire team largely thinking on their feet. They're superficially similar, but fundamentally quite different.
At 6:00 when big green boy throws off multiple All Blacks, pretty sure its Brodie Retallick, 6'8 260lbs+
Generally the quickest players on a rugby team are likely to be the wings (11 and 14), but other backs (9, 10, 12, 13) ought to have decent pace. The one back is the full back (15) who is the last line of defence, must be a brave defender, but real pace makes them a great full back who can counter-attack with the wings. A really quick 'back three' is a headache for the opposition.
Loving the rugby respect 🙏
Do yourself a favour and watch early 2000's Australia vs New Zealand. Huge rivals, awesome skills on display. The All Blacks Haka is the absolute highlight.
Mate, you are just in time for the international games for the year.
Pick a country and watch a full game, you will get SO much more respect for the pace of the game.
Personally I love the All Blacks (New Zealand), but I'm an Aussie.
Rugby is trench warfare (in a nutshell). But if you can skip over the "trenches" with beautiful passing and beautiful tap-kicks to score a try - that's what dreams are made off. Also what you guys call a "juke" - is what Rugby players call a "dummy" Also - no you can't pick someone up lifting them from their feet (illegal tackle).
It's a combination of speed from the back and the brute strength of the forwards. Add in the play making from the halfs and centres. American 7s team have some amazing pace. Check out some highlights of Carlin isles.
You got to watch world cup rugby USA takes part, don't be disappointed by their placing as theyre fairly new to it and surely keeping their own and theyre playing against countries who live and breathe rugby ❤
"In touch" or "into touch" means out-of-bounds. Probably because even just touching the line with the edge of your foot means you are out of bounds.
Rugby's got everything from other big field team sports combined. Every body type has a place, everyone gets to touch the ball and run with it, everyone gets to tackle. Speaking of tackling, none of the NFL style hits and 'spearing' are allowed at all, and will be penalized, so learning how to actually do a proper tackle is required. And those guys mean mugging each other on the field will be hugging and buying each other round after round of drinks after the game. Best sport in the world, and a true brother/sisterhood beyond that.
It might give you a better idea about the game overall if you watch an entire match - I'd recommend any game between either Australia or South Africa and New Zealand. Those matches are almost always very skilful, very passionate, and very brutal!
what do you mean 'if you miss tackling in football' , they removed tackles, i don't watch sports but i did used to play around 20 years ago,.. has tackles been remove from football ?
love to see gridiron fans watching rugby. Both great sports with amazing talents, but rugby just slightly more raw and gladatorial I think. They can only keep it going because (as the famous quote says) the players are such gentlemen when the play stops.
It's like American football but without being sterilised to death. Also you can't pass the ball forwards, unless you kick it.
3:40 - That looked like a game of Rugby 7s. THey play this with 7 players per team rather than 15. It leaves the field much more open and is a very fast running game as a result.
Check out Australian Rules football. One player was asked if any penalties were called, replied I guess if someone brought a weapon onto the pitch.
Unlike American foot ball where there is minimal use of the feet except for running and a touchdown where you dont have to touch down in rugby you can kick forward but not pass forward.When scoring a try in rugby you need downward pressure on the ball on the ground.Number 11 and 14 is the wingers on the outside on both sides.They are the fast guys and you want to get the ball to them.
You can't pick someone up in a tackle and drive them into the ground, it's considered to be a dangerous tackle due to the very high chance of injury. Same with tackling someone who's feet are not on the ground. Can't spear tackle either. The phased these types of tackles out, too many serious injuries.
Some big international matches coming up in the next few weeks, if you want to see whole games. Ireland are in South Africa for a couple of test matches - the first is this coming Saturday. Arguably the two best teams in the world right now. It's going to be huge.
Try to find some clips showing after a brutal defensive tackle where in union the tackled player gets piled on by multiple players and still tries to get the ball out backwards to a team mate, once the pack gets off he immediately re-joins the attack or if they lose the ball is immediately in the defensive line. Rugby league is different where multiple players will brutally get the ball carrier to the floor, as soon as he he hits the floor the defenders must immediately get off him but he MUST immediately (unless seriously hurt) get to his feet to play the ball. Theres no rest regardless of what happens. If an injured player isnt seriously injured he must hand the ball to a team mate to keep the game going and either get off the pitch himself or get medical assistance on the pitch away from the action.
You asked if they are all fast.
I think you know the green Irish prop that dismissed the attention of 3 All Blacks is not fast.
But the fast player have on chance of bench pressing what a prop.
you need to watch Gaelic football and hurling, also physical and exiting sport
Yeah I don't see the point of American footie, all the stopping. Lomu was a bloody god.
You should watch a video on side steppers (i think this is what you mean when you say duking) and skills. You should also give womens rugby a watch as well
And no big shoulders and helmets. NFL ARE All WOOSIES 🤪
Rugby started in England when someone picked up the ball and ran with the ball whilst a soccer match was being played.
Yup it started in England and finishes in New Zealand. Best rugby team in the world for ever
A myth. Football was played at Rugby School for decades before the Football Association was formed in 1863. Running with the ball was part of the early Rugby game and became more popular through the 1830s.
@@newremote Thankyou for that. I like getting factual history correct so when the conversation comes up around a table of friends I can be as correct as possible 🤜🏼🤛🏾
@@newremote I like myths
Hilights wont allow him one to see the most major difference. There are no plays. It keeps going till the ball goes out, someone scores or someone makes a foul and in the case of foul the game will continue of the fouled against team have the ball, in thaf case they get like a free rewind to the foul for a time.
You should definitely check out rugby referee highlights extremely interesting too

Tough guys
Kia Ora hello Polo from Aotearoa new zealand how ya doing brother?
The one thing with rugby teams you need the big players and the smaller players everyone has their strengths that make it a great game
i would definitely watch you react to a whole rugby game i’d love to see that😆
touch is out of play. outside the touch line the side lines. touch does not mean goal in rugby thats called a try
