      Interestingly, the Irish rugby team represents both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and fairly recently they stopped singing amhrann na bhfiann (the Irish national anthem) in favour of a song for the whole of ireland. Many ppl in the north think that the irish national anthem is a tad militaristic.

    The Welsh are famous worldwide for their singing - and their national anthem is a glorious piece of music. A crowd of Welsh people singing their anthem is something filled with pride and passion (what the Welsh call "Hwyl"). To actually be in the crowd is something amazing. The two emblems on the pitch are the badges of the English and Welsh rugby teams - a red rose for England and three ostrich feathers (from the coat of arms of the Prince of Wales) for Wales.

    4:32 The rose is the symbol of the English rugby team, and the "flower-thing" on the red background are the Three Feathers of the Prince of Wales, the emblem of the Welsh rugby team.
    6:31 The cream is petroleum jelly, which protects against "cauliflower ears" - a disfigurement caused by pressure and friction on the skin of the outer ear. Cauliflower ears are an occupational hazard for rugby forwards, who spend a lot of their time in "scrums" with their ears pinned between their opponents' heads, or clamped between the legs of their fellow forwards.

    • @ianpark1805

      The petroleum jelly doesn’t work on really hot days. As a rugby player with a decided shortage of hair, I smeared the stuff on my pate to seal any collision caused scratches or cuts, but if you got really hot, you’d be blinded by a river of molten petroleum jelly. Similarly on long distance runs Vaseline in and above the eyebrows to deflect sweat away from your eyes worked until the critical temperature was reached and the whole lot poured into your eyes! Fortunately in Britain it’s rarely that hot!

  • @robertwilloughby8050
    @robertwilloughby8050 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    And the shot of the guys with the dodgy ears is why I soon decided to wear a scrum cap - and I was a scrum-half, so I technically didn't need one! BTW, the Six Nations means the six nations of Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and the recent addition of Italy. And height? Well, if you're small, fast and lithe, you're a winger. If you're slightly bigger, and not quite as fast, you're a centre, although there are centres that are built like brick toilet blocks. If you're small, rather clever and quickish (I wasn't, but I had quick hands!) you're either a fly-half (usually the guy that does the tactical kicking for possesion) or a scrum-half (the guy from the backs who looks after the forwards who are the ones that scrum down, also does a bit of tactical kicking of his own - see if you can find Robert Jones's performance on TH-cam where he tied down England in the corner with little tactical kicks to defend a small lead in 1989!) and to complete the backs, the Full Back, usually a bit taller than a winger (he often has to catch high balls), meatier but just as fast. Now we come to the forwards. These are the guys in the scrum. We start with the hooker (no laughing at the back there!), who "wins" the ball in the scrum, who is not amazingly tall, but is stocky to say the least. Then there are his supports, the props. The Props are slightly bigger than the hooker - usually a prop hovers about 6ft dead - and are very stocky indeed. Then there are the locks, that "lock" the scrum together, and also win the ball at the lineout. These guys are HUGE! Anywhere between 6ft6 and nearly 7ft, and like the props, not known for their speed (the hooker is a bit faster!) then there are the Flankers, who are on the outside of the scrum. A flanker is what happens when you've got a lock that's on the small side, but with real pace - since 1995 some flankers have been converted to wingers to take advantage of a big, heavy bloke running over you! Finally, we have the Number 8, who is the guy at the back of the scrum. These guys are big, fairly fast and often SUICIDALLY BRAVE!
    Hope that clears a few things up!

    Daffodil is the national flower of Wales. The Welsh emblem is the three feathers - the Rose is the English emblem. The vasoline is just because forwards ears get cauliflowers from the contact in scrums and rucks - just like the boxers it helps reduce this issue. 👍

    The 2 flags at the beginning are the Emblems of the Welsh Rugby Union (Three Feathers) and the English Rugby Union (Red Rose). The other flower you will see is the yellow daffodil which is The national flower of Wales. The New Zealand All Blacks emblem is the Silver Fern.
    Welsh people are usually small and dark haired, but obviously population can vary a lot description wise.
    The tape on the ears is alternative to fully wrapping tape around your ears/wearing a scrum cap. It is generally worn by forwards and it protects your ears in the scrum.
    Ireland plays as one nation in the 6 Nations. And the player it keeps panning to is Alun Wyn Jones he is the Welsh Captain and has represented Wales 148 times so far...

    In rugby, tall strong players are usually the players who bind and push in the scrums, and the really heavy-set players are the front row of the scrums. The shorter, faster players are the back line who distribute the ball away from the scrum. In the scrum, players can easily get cauliflower ears, so a lot of players tape them :) And those weren't the team owners, they were the coaches.

With South Wales having a make up similar to that of the basque region and north Wales having a make up similar to those in the Baltic region.

    To Wales rugby is a lot more than a sport, it’s in the blood. It’s a sense of national pride, it brings us together and that unity is what makes it so intimidating. When wales play the country stands with them. Amazing video but the only way to experience welsh rugby is to be in a pub/bar/club or the national stadium and feel the atmosphere

  • @nicholasjones7312

    Rugby is designed so that any body size can be accommodated within the team of 15 players. The forwards tend to be the stronger and bigger, whereas the backs are faster and more nimble, therefore tend to be smaller than the forwards. However, some forward positions lend themselves to being short, but stocky.

    The flags of the two nations are displayed whilst the anthems are being played. The red rose is the national flower of England. The national flower of Wales is the dafodil. The reason for the ear protection is for when players get into the 'scrum' or the 'ruck' (better explained by watching a match). The suited men are the various coaches for the teams. Yes, WRU does stand for Welsh Rugby Union. The Welsh Rugby kit is made by Uner Amor. The one you say has the most camera time is the Welsh captain, Alun Wynn-Jones.

    The Six Nations Championship is a rugby tournament played every year between February and March.
    Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Italy participate playing each other once and being awarded points for winning and/or scoring a certain number of tries (touchdowns). Points can also be won by the losing team if they keep the score within a certain margin.
    Once every nation has played against the others, the nation with the highest points total wins the Championship. If a nation wins all their games with no losses, they win the Grand Slam. Hope that helps!
