I would suggest watching a game ( not on TH-cam) . Any game from England v Scotland or Scotland v England, The first teams to play against each other in rugby union history... we have beef .. I'm Scottish by the way, it would really help , the commentary will explain everything.
First teams to play against each other in the history of international sport!
I’m English but I’ve enjoyed the Scottish resurgence in recent years. Finn is just great to watch, and it’s nice to have good sporting competition between us again - given the games I grew up watching (England battering Scotland 😉)
Keep up the videos. You're reactions are appreciated
i like that you watch the rules first, allot of people go with a hardest hits vid first and than doesn't know whats going on...
Also if your intrested in a full rugby union game than the biggest rivalry in rugby is south-africa vs new-zealand so if you can find any full match of these 2 teams playing against each other that always makes for a good game
As Rachel has said, you need to see the Atherstone Ball Game, it's the descendent of those medieval mob football games, there's only one rule.....Don't kill anyone.
Good rule I'll stay on balconies though
😳👍🏽😅
@@brianmarjerrison8940 same 😅
A balcony may still not save you🤕😸......."its the ball game innit"
@@nikkihayes5411 to give you some idea of what is going on in a rugby union scrum, A good international level pack of 8 forwards should get aroung 3,500 pounds of force. of course the opponents are trying to match this, so yes they are pushing against one another quite a lot, but also there is a lot more going on, the 3 players in the front row are also trying to twist and destabilise their opponents within certain rules
One reason for the ban on forward passing is to make the game more fluid, American football looks very static to us - the forward pass seems to end play. A couple of things I don't remember hearing here - the ball carrier is the ONLY person who can be tackled, players aren't even allowed to block the ball carrier's team mates (though it's OK to intercept of course). Also, when a try (touchdown) is scored, the place where it is actually placed on the ground is important as the subsequent conversion will take place directly opposite. So if the ball carrier manages to touch down between the posts that makes it easier for the kicker, if the ball is touched down on the wings (more common) it's more difficult. That's why you will sometimes see the ball carrier not touch down immediately, and tackles taking place after the try line is crossed. If the "defence" (that's not a specialised team, merely the team that does not have possession of the ball at that moment) manages to hold the ball carrier up and stop him/her from placing the ball on the ground - the try has not been scored - very entertaining to watch, as is physically picking the ball carrier up and throwing him/her into touch.
7:15 There was a tweak to how many points a field goal is worth in the National Rugby League, Australia/New Zealand's domestic competition, back in 2021 to reward players kicking. It's still worth a single point if the kicker has kicked it from inside 40 metres/44 yards of the goal but it's now worth 2 points if it's kicked from farther out then 40 metres because it's harder to kick.
Bless your sweet heart 😊 always a pleasure to join in your quest for knowledge and witness your amazement at the things we take for granted.
😊💗
Very good tutorial video. The guy sounds like Seth Rogun.
Sorry for my constant comments, we love a good ruckus ( haveing it large) ... Cheese rolling is definitely your thing, Cheese Rolling Contest U.K.
Don't be sorry about commenting!! I'll have to check that out 😅
@@Kayla.burlin Do you mean to say Americans don't chase cheese down a steep hill?
Gotta say... love the background noise...sounds like my neighborhood.
Sweet 😄😊
Hi lol i played full back , then wing then center then broke leg and badly dislocated shoulder love the game!!!
I played rugby for my county here in Ireland. It can be a rough game had some injuries but just some dislocated shoulders and lots of bruises. I've had my ear bitten in the scrum but nothing serious.
I have 3 words for the next sport to check out. Atherstone Ball Game...
Believe it or not it's actually warm and sunny in Wales today ☺
Absolutely... 100%
Mental old school Mob Football... though they spoilt it with the NO Killing rule 😂
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Bit of cheese rolling aswell
Love Wales great country love Yorkshire
One thing not mentioned is that there are no seperate offence and defence teams.
The same players stay on the field throughout the game unless they are seriously injured, dead or they want to give a substitute player some play time.
One always gets bruised, cut or chunks taken out of them, sometimes slightly concussed, but the injury has to be pretty bad for someone to leave the field.
I played at school and the teacher had to order me off the field because my eye was completely closed and swollen after taking a knee to the face.
Nobody wants to leave the field.
Come home from school and mum is horrified, but dad just says "had a good game then"?
And a fun day was had by all.
🖖🏽❤🇬🇧
I think also the only players who can be substituted and then bought back on are the front row.
Wayne "Buck" Shelford, All Blacks v. France, Nantes, 1986:
Lost several teeth early in the match, and ended the match with severe concussion and one testicle hanging out of his scrotum. In his own words, "These things do happen and you’ve just got to play on."
Nobody wants to leave the field...
Watch Rugbys Greatist Hits, to give you some context of the game. Love your channel.
Thank you😊
Just keep watching and learn as you go
I'm English, in my 70s, and a lifelong Rugby Union devotee. In the last 5 or 6 years, I have really embraced women's rugby union and love it. It's very competitive and skilful, but also played with the right sporting attitude, which has always been a big part of rugby union.
The biggest games in Women's Rugby Union are England (Red Roses) versus New Zealand (Black Ferns), or either of those versus France. Just this😮 week, Canada have overtaken New Zealand in the world rankings with their first ever victory over them. So currently, the top women's teams are 1) England, 2) Canada, 3) New Zealand, 4) France, 5) Australia, 6) Scotland, 7) USA.
I would definitely recommend you checking out Women's rugby union.
You should see how far these players can kick goals and field goals.
Just to be clear when he says Rugby School he’s talking about an actual school not a college or university. Rugby is a famous private boarding school for students aged 13-18(all boys prior to 1975).
You should check some of the big hits videos.
Rugby is basic trench warfare. Any player must pass the ball backwards so each inch of the ground must be gained by someone carrying the ball.
If a kick is made; it is in opposition territory and any fellow player must come from behind the kicker.
That’s the basics.
Glad you enjoyed that. Now you need to watch a video on the laws of cricket.
Hi, you said back in medieval times of football it looked like they are tearing each other apart,, well in the UK there is still such a game, it is called Royal Shrovetide Football, originally played with a head from an execution it is now played with a ball. there is really only one rule, you are not allowed to kill anyone. There are two teams (with no limit to the amount of players) the goals are 3 miles apart and they will play up hills and even across rivers and i think it is over two days. The local shops board up their windows for the event. At the end when the hooter sounds if the score it tied then the team that has possession of the ball wins, so they will defend the ball at all costs, Here is a link to a video of a game, th-cam.com/video/OhKcw27Hf7I/w-d-xo.html We have lots of silly games over here, Cheese rolling competition, bog snorkelling and shin kicking to name just a few lol.
😳👍🏽😅
Several towns play their own version. In the middle ages the variant of folk football played in East Anglia was called camp ball. It was banned because of the high number of fatalities.
glad you are doing well. All good here also.
Good to hear😁💗
You MUST check Australian football!
No don't go there, it's total crap
@@vtbn53 that’s harsh!
@@steveb1972 Sometimes the truth is unpalatable.
Australian Football is amazing, and I grew up playing Rugby
The distances they kick the ball and heights they jump to take marks is insane in Aussie Rules.
Harvard university and Mcgill university were the first schools to play rugby in America in14 May 1874. Rugby was very popular in the early 1900s. Oddly, this was because American football at the time was deemed too violent and by 1905 American football was in crises. At the 19020 summer Olympics in Antwerp an American team beat France to win the first ever gold medal. They then beat France again at the Paris Olympics in France. So, America actually has to Olympic Gold medals for rugby and by memory I think that they may be the only country to hold this record as the only country to win a medal for a full-size rugby team. I say that because there is a 7 aside version that has 2 7-minute halves that has been played in the Olympics since 2016. Bothe the American men's and women's teams do well in 7s and have taken some big scalps. Rugby history in America is on TH-cam as well as the 7s games. The American teams are known as the USA Eagles. Rugby has had a growth spurt in the last few years and recently signed a deal with Fox sports. Rugby League was played in Las Vegas about 2 months ago, which is also on TH-cam
1- Forward pass in rugby is like "what are you doing mate?" (you can move the ball forward only by running or kicking it)
2- A ruck is very much comparable to a snap in NFL but without commercial advertisement and team switching after the tackle. Directly after the tackle, on the fly, set plays can happen here. (League not using the Ruck and probably a reason why Union is more popular, the Ruck is a very technical and vital aspect to the pace of the game) Looks messy and chaotic but is in fact the opposite (technically, again)
3- You can tackle only the ball carrier. No blockers, remember ("what are you doing mate?")...
These are the main differences between Rugby and USA Football. Fundamentals changes that make the two sports very different, so it's not "like football but without pads" it's Rugby.
I can enjoy both and will not trash NFL cause it's a very thought sport still, but I could bet a testicle that a NFL fan can become crazy about Rugby, when a Rugby fan won't about NFL despite respecting it.
Vive la France.
Your hair is gorgeous. At last an afro rooted woman who doesn't wear stupid wigs.
any way better start by learning a bit of the rules, than by watching "most brutal hits and tackles in rugby" like the usual.
Next step would be match highlights better than entire matches. You can do reaction videos and appreciate what you learnt here. Rugby Union of course.
So you know about the scrum, all the players (they are called forwards) must remain bound together until the ball is released or it will be penalty, also watch any Scotland V England game (I am Scottish), it is brutal.... the best team in the world is in fact New Zealand
Yea it looks brutal 🤕😅
Best team is South Africa recently, as much as I don’t like that as an Englishman. Best teams to watch are France, Fiji, Scotland, NZ.
Mostly the things that were mentioned are correct, television in the U.K show rugby league games is mainly clubs competing, rugby union is mainly country's competing. American has a rugby union team , not very good because its not very well known. Love the channel. U.K.
This is not true the rugby union club game is by far the most shown game of Union on British TV. International rugby games have the largest TV audience though.
Watch the Atherton Ball Game they had to create a rule no killing anyone.
theres two types of rugby, League and Union, roughly the same but still different, league tends to be faster, unlike american football there are few breaks
Someone please connect her to Springboks 🇿🇦
Hi like your channel you got po box yet send you some treats I no your new so you maybe wait a while don't no how much they are keep going anyway Brian from West yorkshire England take care
America has national men and womens teams. x
I had no clue 😅
But they are terrible
One thing i think the otherwise very good video missed, is that unlike American and Canadian Football, you can not block the opposition in either Rugby. Thats called obstruction, and is a penalty.
The schism of Rugby along class based lines is core to each sports lore and identity. Both very rich, yet i believe a net negative which has hindered the growth or appeal of the 2 sports.
Its said that Rugby Union is Chess, Rugby League is Checkers.
Rugby League is certainly a streamlined sport, which to Union fans is a bit too bash and crash monotonous.
Rugby Union has a wider variety of body shapes playing. It is certainly the more complex game. Sone love it for that, while many other find its amount of rules frankly byzantine. Rugby Union's complexity has been causing issue were there is debate about amateur era laws not keeping up in the bigger faster professional era. Many love the technical game of the forward packs, while Union loses many other viewers to League because of the constant delays, scrum resets, extended advantages, penalty shootouts etc
Modern football is similar to mob football only you’re not allowed to bring a knife 🔪😂
😳🤣🤣
@@Kayla.burlin trust me it was insane in the mediaeval times there were very little rules when it came to how you were supposed to play.
JUst watch Rugbys greatest hits, see how they fare. lol.
By trying to compare American football, Rugby League, and Union, I found it too much info.
I love Union. It's brutal, in so much as there's no respite. Check out Rugby Best Try's (scores)
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
The comparisons are trivial to all excluding thos with the most trivial brains
I played rugby at school from 10-14 years old, from 1982. My Middle School taught rugby, cricket and athletics, no football.
When I was 11 and playing rugby I received a kick to the face that resulted in losing some teeth and slightly splitting my tongue. My PE teacher’s response? Get up, spit out the blood and get back into the scrum! Lol
I had to give up aged 14 after knackering my left knee.
I’m 52 now, still missing a front tooth from then!
Oh wow that's crazy, I'd probably quit after that 😅😳...I was doing track and basketball at that age 😂
Rugby. American football for real men or women! Lol
you should react to womens rugby, they play as hard as the men, tackle as hard, no pads, alot of your american footballers, would find these girls a challenge here is the link

I'm gonna react to "big hits" today😳😅
@@Kayla.burlin good idea, then look at the womens next, i swear it will blow your mind,
@@seanmc1351 just by seeing the little clips in this video of womens rugby, I think I can agree with you 😅it's definitely gonna be mind blowing 🤯😳
@@Kayla.burlin women sports growing in europe now, football rugby and other stuff, still a way to go, all the big teams, have women's rugby and football, and national teams, better sponserhip coming, better pay, we have great female cricket teams also, league and national teams, Im going to be totaly honest, i prefer to watch womens sports, and see the growth
@@Kayla.burlin have a look at this link, i wanted to show you stuff and give the story over email, this is where i went on holiday from 2 years old till 16 years old, let me know when you looked at it and i will type in comments,

Check out Major League Rugby. Rugby is very alive and growing fast in the US :)
Rugby Union rules are hard to follow. Rugby League is a far better game to watch and understand the rules.
Rugby is definitely not known as football
Personally I'm more of a football (soccer) fan rather then Rugby. Rugby players are usually huge with no padding. Union is much faster as its continuous and is only 80 minutes duration overtime play can occur if one side keeps the ball in play after the hooter with the game ending when the ball goes out of play. Recommend videos of Rugby's hardest hits and greatest trys. Perhaps you should look into cricket and even the ladies game of netball, both worth watching 🇬🇧
I am Scottish...but I live in the town of...Rugby where the game was invented by a schoolboy called William Webb Ellis while attending Rugby boys school. If anyone were to visit Rugby they would be left in no doubt about it's connection to the game, there are statues of Ellis of famous players and of course rugby balls and of players tackling each other......quite frankly....I'm sick and tired of the bloody game!
😅 considering you live in the town where it originated, I don't blame you for being sick of it 😂😂 I live in a area where Lacrosse is huge (due to it being a Native Reservation) and I'm over it.. cool sport and all but sheesh 🙄
We have, in South Africa, a stadium called Ellis Park. Now I know where it comes from.
Isn't a lot about William Webb Ellis's invention of Rugby a myth?
Every word is fact!...If you want to bore yourself for a few hours go interrogate Google, you'll find chapter and verse on William Webb Ellis and how the game was created.
Your look very beautiful
Women's rugby is just as brutal but in my opinion more entertaining.
American football is closer to Rugby League, but rugby union is by far globally more popular.
the scrumis where they try to push the ball forward, its awful and dangeorus, often fails
I admire your interest in a sport you never knew existed. I'm a native of New Zealand called Maori/s. For your benefit I'll give you the closest words that sounds similar and a more authentic pronunciation and those two words together are "mole-ree". To ez yeh? Of course us Maori's like to keep it real k. But back to what I wanted to say and that is you must be super keen to sit through that blokes information overload. You're better off watching any womens team and it is real and both genders str8, religious or not, of many races, shapes, sizes, ages and last but the only two exceptions would certainly be if you're not breathing or born yet. If you were to be a pretty decent player you would quite possibly represent your country at the olympics and the Rugby World Cup. Well I hope this helps. Google or TH-cam are great sources as you well know. Enjoy.
union is a far far better game !
A good game of Union is better than a good game of League, while a bad game of League is better than a bad game of Union
