I love how 90% of the comments are either Americans shitting on other countries' sports or other countries shitting on american sports. I feel we've really made progress as people. *Slow Clap*
Start at 26:35. to get to the 2nd half where the action picks up a bit. You're welcome. :) Tennessee Titans fans will know Dan's pain about 10 minutes after that mark in the video.
As a New Aussie I'm actually interested in this game and can understand more! WOO! Though I think I'm only Rugby League right now, gotta work up to the craziness that is Rugby Union. (Go All Blacks! :p )
The banter between Danny and Dan is priceless. Danny: You have twelve more minutes in the game. Dan: That would be a lot easier to figure out if it said 12 instead of 68... Danny: Yeah I know... Subtraction is difficult. :-D
While we at each other throats on which sport is the best, (in my opinion it's mostly base on which sports you grow up watching and cheering for. For example, American it's football (NFL), baseball, hockey and basketball and for Great Britain it's futbol (soccer refer by the US), cricket, both of rugby institutions and darts) like to ask what your views on Australia Football?
2:46 It's 68 teams, Dan. 10:32 Chips, Crisps, and Dan asks a question that explains more about Dan than anything else he could ever say. Other highlights: 12:0215:5129:3633:1733:41
TheBlockaddict Are you really that much of a loser that you have to attack sports in other countries to make yourself feel better? The MLS is getting better every year, especially with regard to the Sounders and Galaxy, and to outright dismiss the league is to both undermine football/soccer in general and be ignorant of the current state of football/soccer in the United States.
I feel like this game doesn't represent rugby well enough, it does not enforce passing enough which must happen in rugby do come close to making line breaks. The defensive players follow to make the tackle but the first thing you are taught in rugby is to spread out wide not rush up and follow. Rouking does not work as stated and that foul play rule is ridiculous, mauling is quite an often thing but not one happened in this game. There is no clear separation between backs and forwards and the difference is never even mentioned, it's this reason rugny has not spread as much to America, as the sports other media e.g. games just don't have the polish or funding. I've played rugby since I was four and am in my ninth season and this has always irritated me!
LMFAO !! Americans'reaction, hahaha ! Had lots of fun listening to the commenting ! Rugby, the real man's football. Go Go Cheetah's (South Africa, Super 15 team).
American football (how often does your foot touch the egg anyway?) was invented for posh boys at ivy league universities to show their ''toughness'' as the wars within America were grinding to a halt so they had no way to follow in the footsteps of their forefathers. Many of the plays - throwing the ball forward etc, were introduced by a school of native Americans, along with a lot of the rules which were there to prevent some of that teams new tactics. It is also the most conservative - military set up, men only etc and at the same time the most progressive - new rule changes every year. Possibly why it is so popular in the U.S. The fact the teams are franchises is as American as it comes. It is a business as much as it is a sport. It also costs a lot of money for the equipment just to play. Which is the difference between it - as an elitist playing sport (as it costs what most can't afford), and football (how often does your foot touch the round ball?) as you don't need to buy any equipment, not even a ball - you can make one out of all sorts of rubbish lying around and use a couple of sticks as goalposts, making football the World's game. The Superbowl, the biggest game in the NFL calendar had an audience of 140 million, many just to watch the adverts/half time show, but not bad numbers. A run of the mill English Premier League game the next day had an audience of over 800 million. That surprised even me. American football is militaristic. Football is tribal. Both are distractions. Rugby is for toffs in Southern England, but is for the average man, Joe Public, almost everywhere else in the world. I was hoping pre-game the New Zealand team would do the Haka. If you have never seen it I would highly recommend you have a look at it. And check out Jonah Lomu in his prime. Beast mode!
Apéritif 420 I don't find someone who's proud and vocal about it entertaining. For me that's pure annoyance. He can be fun when he doesn't try so hard and act like a smartass.
tajvader Sure, each to their own. I think he's at his best when he's acting as a foil to Jeff. Dan's more upbeat, and I enjoy Jeff's reactions when Dan says something stupid.
Corey Shaughnessy Thanks for your insightful comment and your misuse of the word weeb. I guess your are one of those close minded dumbasses like Dan, if you needed to comment about someone's profile pic. Because that's really relevant.
Corey Shaughnessy Yeah, how dare I have a profile pic of a dumb face from a dumb anime I like. And that other guy whose pic is some blue paint? Yeah, fuck him too! And 99% of people on youtube. All of them are weird assholes! Now for real, are you trying to make a point?
Well the game looks really unpolished. If anyone is in the know, is there a good rugby game? looks fun. I love danny man.. "Has this been a good game of rugby?" "It's been horrific" The game cant even figure out when someone is being tackled from behind..
Let's be honest, no sport is a real sport with World champions if it involves more than one of the World's countries. It's obvious. Take the World Series for example, don't need the whole World to compete. Or even anymore than one country.
29:55 I'm glad Danny finally says something about Dan's utter ignorance when it comes to anything non-American.
Although I'm not sure Dan even understood half of what Danny just said to him.
I love how 90% of the comments are either Americans shitting on other countries' sports or other countries shitting on american sports. I feel we've really made progress as people. *Slow Clap*
29:35 Brilliant Answer
Dan Ryckert is an international incident waiting to happen. And only Danny O'Dwyer has the power to stop him, haha.
"Why is every country that isn't America confusing?" - Dan Ryckert.
Holy shit it's apparently very easy to get people riled up by saying a sport is dumb.
Start at 26:35. to get to the 2nd half where the action picks up a bit. You're welcome. :)
Tennessee Titans fans will know Dan's pain about 10 minutes after that mark in the video.
That was the best rugby match I have ever seen. Okay, it was the only one I've seen.
The turning circle on these rugby players is amazing. Haha! That would be amazing if real rugby was like this
Pretty sure Jeff just asked Danny if Sinn Féin was a Rugby term...
I thought he was Lord Voldemort.
Slabs I think that's the guy who wears the makeup in NXT.
The most exhilarating last five minutes of a match I've seen.
Lol, is Jeff trying to say sinn fein at the start of the video?
Danny really owned Dan hard during this quick look. Well done, Danny.
Lou Rugby should be Jeff's new wrestling persona when Dr Tracksuit finally OD's
One of the best videos I've seen in awhile.
As a New Aussie I'm actually interested in this game and can understand more! WOO! Though I think I'm only Rugby League right now, gotta work up to the craziness that is Rugby Union. (Go All Blacks! :p )
Video games based on Rugby always make me wanna watch more Rugby..
The banter between Danny and Dan is priceless.
Danny: You have twelve more minutes in the game.
Dan: That would be a lot easier to figure out if it said 12 instead of 68...
Danny: Yeah I know... Subtraction is difficult.
:-D
12:40 of course the northern hemisphere guy tells them to go for drop goals, smh
The American spirit will pull through. Now throw that ball, flippidy floppidy.

The Ospreys are from Swansea in Wales haha
Fun Video. Rugby is insane!
2:46 It's 68 teams, Dan.
10:32 Chips, Crisps, and Dan asks a question that explains more about Dan than anything else he could ever say.
Other highlights: 12:02 15:51 29:36 33:17 33:41
68 teams.
+Kryzstof lol you're right. New rules. Updated.
I tried to watch American Handegg game once, it was coma inducing. Texas Hold'em is more exciting.
watching paint dry is better than handegg
Johnny Utah naw m8 1z fukin g8
I've had similar feelings when I'm watching football/futbol. But, I do like the chants and cheers at those games. :D
Yah like tennis, golf, bowling, soccer, curling, and every european sport ever. It's a lot easier to be entertained when you're into the sport
Points Jeff towards the 1975 Norman Jewison classic, Rollerball
I'm sorry Danny but why the hell would you not base a game's length on a countdown for any reason other than "stopwatches weren't invented yet?"
MLS isn't lame :( Support domestic soccer folks.
I love football so trust me. The mls sucks. its where formerly good players go to die
TheBlockaddict
Rest in Peace Gerrard & Lampard :'(
Among the Wolves my point exactly
Drew Maw I live in the UK. I support the BPL

Are you really that much of a loser that you have to attack sports in other countries to make yourself feel better? The MLS is getting better every year, especially with regard to the Sounders and Galaxy, and to outright dismiss the league is to both undermine football/soccer in general and be ignorant of the current state of football/soccer in the United States.
And Jeff continues to win at sports games. gg
America's Rugby Team: Almost as Good as the All Blacks.
I'll take it.
Good Finish to the match.
I feel like this game doesn't represent rugby well enough, it does not enforce passing enough which must happen in rugby do come close to making line breaks.

Dan has grown up alot recently though
I think interacting with Austin Walker for that year did him a world of good.
LMFAO !! Americans'reaction, hahaha ! Had lots of fun listening to the commenting ! Rugby, the real man's football. Go Go Cheetah's (South Africa, Super 15 team).

As having played both sports, american football and rugby. I consider football more fun but rugby a lot faster.
I love there sports stuff. There sports videos are the only good thing about sports games.
The American spirit will pull through... lol.
This was great
I'm just writing a comment coz the previous one was a year ago.
Yay! More of Dan and his uneducated opinions!
That's why he's entertaining. Also he counteracts a lot of Jeff's cynicism.
Apéritif 420 I don't find someone who's proud and vocal about it entertaining. For me that's pure annoyance.
He can be fun when he doesn't try so hard and act like a smartass.
tajvader Sure, each to their own. I think he's at his best when he's acting as a foil to Jeff. Dan's more upbeat, and I enjoy Jeff's reactions when Dan says something stupid.

Corey Shaughnessy Yeah, how dare I have a profile pic of a dumb face from a dumb anime I like. And that other guy whose pic is some blue paint? Yeah, fuck him too! And 99% of people on youtube. All of them are weird assholes!
Now for real, are you trying to make a point?
I once did a rugby with me and my girlfriend. It was a good night although she enjoyed it more than me. Too much reading as far as I was concerned.
Pass the rock
Isn't rugby generally a few rungs up the social ladder from soccer?
It depends, rugby league is considered a super working class sport
ahahahah that was a nailbiting finish
Halfway Into the episode and still haven't started....
lol what an ending!
mugging off rugby while hyoure making a video for people who obvs like it sick lad
The fuck is wrong with the Quins logo?
10:42 Jeff's repeating a line from the latest episode of Pretty Little Liars.
Well the game looks really unpolished. If anyone is in the know, is there a good rugby game? looks fun.
I love danny man.. "Has this been a good game of rugby?"
"It's been horrific"
The game cant even figure out when someone is being tackled from behind..
Was this Xbox 1
Dan Ryckert couldn't point to New Zealand on a map.
Let's be honest, no sport is a real sport with World champions if it involves more than one of the World's countries. It's obvious. Take the World Series for example, don't need the whole World to compete. Or even anymore than one country.
20:32 i play rugby im 14 i play on a u-19 team in washington state. how dare u say that
fack yeh men us good make game rugby game will be more good how
football, the game where you kick with ball with your feet is amazing, American football sucks!
"northern ireland which is technically part of the uk"
Great job danny now we get to see a shitstorm in the comments section
Thankfully everyone seems to be too interested in arguing that "my sport is better than your sport" to notice.
Oliver Gallimore I guess people in the comments would have to care about Ireland for that to happen which is a shame
Listening to Americans talk about sport is so cringey.
This is lame where is the DragonBall xenoverse quick look I want to know what Vinny thinks of it
Wow, that is a poor way to explain how to play a game. Hope there's a tutorial option or something.
