just like to add that most bad injuries in any contact code dont come from normal contact but from freak events like a head clash or you get hit on the wrong angle ,or your leg gets trapped and broken,generally ts just bruising or grazing or winded,sometimes its from dirty play though, like once I dived on a loose ball and a prop kicked me in the jaw I was using a straw to take soup for three days after and he was a cop
Yes I have and I have to say that rugby is by far the tougher sport, at least from a physical standpoint. In rugby, you play with minimal breaks for 80 minutes - in football you run for 60 minutes with breaks every play. On any decent rugby team, the big, slower forwards can run just as long as the quick backs. In football, a center or offensive lineman can't run for a couple of minutes without taking a break, let alone keep up with a running back.
Everyone needs to quit comparing American Football and Rugby. They are very different sports. Just because they wear pads, doesn't make them "pussies". They wear pads because they would probably kill each other if they didn't. Rugby tackling and American Football tackling are so different from each other. Unless you've played American Football before, don't call it a pussy sport. Nonetheless, this was an awesome match. Samoa is one of my favorite Rugby sevens teams!
Rugby tackling is how you tackle someone without pads, the only reason those dangerous tackles in the NFL are allowed and tolerable is because of the huge amounts of padding they wear, it’s like an egg, if you drop an egg from the sky it’ll break, so you don’t drop an egg from the sky, but if you use loads of padding and a steady dropping vehicle, then you can drop it from the sky
IF YOU 100% FIT YOU CAN DO ANY THING IN THE FIELD,BUT IF YOU 80% STILL NOT TO SURE I MEAN 100% NO PAIN NO GAIN ,WORDS FROM THE CHAMP,YOU CAN SEE HALF TIME SOME BOYS JUST WALKING NO FIT.
Maybe you'd just played Rugby in America!!! If you want to really prove your point and experience real pro Rugby. Come over to Australia or New Zealand. Find some people like the Tongans, Fijian, Samoans, Maoris, Aussies and ask them to have a training sesh. Fuck I doubt you would last 30 minutes in their. A whole'nother level here. 16 -18 years old are already playing like pros.
harder? since when is taking breaks every 10 seconds hard? You have specific players for defense and offence, in rugby you play non stop. Every player needs to be able to take down every player. Football is seriously stupid. Requires next to no communication between team mates as all your actions are given to you on a plate by someone else, in rugby your team is left to their own devises when they take to the field. Also rugby isn't corrupted by money.
This is the next great Samoan winger. I like how he played. Very fast, great defender, and just all around great player.

I grew up in America, played 6 years of football and loved it. Got to college gave rugby a try, now I don't ever know why i messed with the pigskin.
Nice throwback game here. Manu's awesome running game👌🏾 #3Alafoti and Iosefo ..Seki a!
Uh Beast Game Manu...🇼🇸❤💯

Impunity!

IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT, IT'S THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG. Iosefo is the man..He will be the force to recon this year.
After Pesamino, the next greatest Sāmoan rugby winger is Tom Iosefo, that mans speed was so clutch👌and then the strength and power of Faosiliva 🤌
lolo lui smashed that dude @ 8.24....BOOOOOM shot samoa
Samoa beast tackles 👌💪🤣
whats the name of the number 3 of Samoa
THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE TONGA ALWAYS EYES ON THE BALL AND THEY DELIVER THE BALL. WHICH IS 100% GOOD.
7:55 crunch time poor Tongan
Tokouso. Good game guys
was very nice this rugby match
6:36 Tongan player should have passed to his left he had two players against one. Brave game by the Tongans against a great Samoan side.
Never underestimate your opponent. Samoa learned it the hard way.
Tonga still lost 😂
7:55 - "WHAT THE TACKLE IT WAS!"....another fresh production
what happen to Pesamino!??
classic island play!! running rugby at its best and hard tackles awesome game
And why tonga can't continue to on to HSBC sevens.?
corruption
was a great game (RUGBY'S THE GAME)
congrats to England. Was a very entertaining game. Don't worry usos we get them next time. Go Samoa!!!!
The head coach of Tonga 7s is he related to Jason taumalolo
played football 4 years in high school did 1 season of rugby in college and god damn my knees are beyond fucked
I agree 100%.

Rugby's a gentlemen's game. As a fan representing the game you're defending-you should act like one.
i went for samoa i was born there my mom went for tonga cause she was born there - hahaha i won
We have a Jack Lam. Tonga has a Jack Ram 😂😂🤣😭 what are the odds
I played rugby once I loved it
@Aquastream92 very true! very unfit for this leg of the 7's but they are quality athletes.
IF YOU 100% FIT YOU CAN DO ANY THING IN THE FIELD,BUT IF YOU 80% STILL NOT TO SURE I MEAN 100% NO PAIN NO GAIN ,WORDS FROM THE CHAMP,YOU CAN SEE HALF TIME SOME BOYS JUST WALKING NO FIT.
what was the fijian doing just standing there letting the tongan guy run right past?? 2:03
Hente paham permainan iye
blind side what wllie lose?, you need glasses
Great game, both sides
#3 for samoa is - Alafoti Faosiliva
This was a good game
Who's still watching this 😂
Why Tonga put up a good solid game with the Manu and they can't beat lowest teams?Tamasii (Tonka ) It doesn't work that way !!!Mentally n physically.
vaikaimi la poo le ah le leva ole po e kaalo ai le Manu e feala uma le akuguu.
#3 of samoa can run!
Fabrice Prevost jr indeed he can check him when he 1st kicked off his career..ran over and round lots of players
Well I'm 100% Tongan!!
god damn iosefo has mad speed uce!
TOKOUSO 🇼🇸🇦🇸🇹🇴
now i like rugby and football, but football players wear pads and helmets because its far more physical and dangerous than rugby,
number 4 is my cuzz!
hhhhhhhhhhh
Samoa number 3 is strong as fuck
Samoa did not respect Tonga. They played well.
New song
the mistake that all you guys are doing is, football is a game played with a ball not shoulder pads and helmets
This is rugby shut the fuck up

Hong Kong should lose the 7’s because of the Chinese interference in its politics. Not a safe place for anyone believing in democracy!
WOW. lol
Damn my poor Tongan ;')
