They don't call us Rugby World Cup Champions for nothing. Proudly South African, Proud Springbok Supporter 🇿🇦
yes my friend
Oooooo yes
Amen!
No lies detected 😍❤️🇿🇦
Rugby is in our blood 🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦
I didn't realise the rest of the world viewed our play style as brutal, I just thought that's how you play 😂 Proudly South African and love the Bokke
Yeah! We get fired up during a game and cheer them on and support them, but to others its brutal apparently 😂😂
🤣 🤣 Me too
It is what it is
As an englishman, the referee is there to control the game he can decide whats brutal or not Every team that plays SA should match their physicality nothing wrong with the way they play its a tough contact sport.....get on with it
in my country its a sport for kids who were too fat to play football at school
Oddly enough we don't really consider our style of play as brutal but efficient and effective.
Yea and with the best defence 🤌🏾
Lol yeah rugby is everything here in south Africa ELKE SKOOL HET DIT EN ONS OEFEN DIT VAN LAERSKOOL AF SO lol
@@gelobeep8188 Né😂
Exactly!!
Lol I see what you did there... Lure our opponents into a false sense of security....
The hit by Am at 0:32 and the Xhosa commentary is absolute perfection. Makes me smile every time
We’re taught to go for the kill everytime we see our opponents. In my coach’s words “tackle him so hard that he won’t wanna touch the ball again ” proudly South African 🇿🇦
Hahaha 😅 brilliant 👏
Lol our coach used to say the same thing🤣
W
At 3:52 he asks about a forward pass but it looks like it's forward becauskf the angle the camera is positioned at.
Just look at the lines on the grass😉
"Maybe." You should be focus on the anc. Because they are killing the farmers. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I broke my collar bone in a final. The medic told me to leave the field. My captain told me he needed me. I switched from right to left side of the scrum and played another 25+minutes to the end. I did not miss 1 tackle in that time. If you ever played the game you will understand. Loyalty and team work is everything
I broke ribs in a game and continued, also played the next weekend in a final which we won. Have also played with a broken collar bone. I was a lock.
@@emileplumstead1808i had to play with a broken thumb and torn ligament in my hand but i play hooker so i couldn’t bind 😂

Least psychotic flanker:
You cannot take someone out while they are in the air. You have to wait until they land before you smash them into next week.
For completeness, you can challenge in the air, but if you don’t have a realistic possibility of winning it you will be penalised.
For more completes
Challenge in the air mean both players can jump for the ball even if they collide.
But if you mis time, you jump and you make contact. Or make contact in the air recklessly. It's a penalty or a card.
What players do if they see they are not going to be able to jump and compete.
Is they time their run to tackle just as players toes hit toe ground.
Then, the supporting players will blast the ruck to try and gain possession of the ball.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 into next week
As a South African, watching this video makes me very. I am not a huge rugby fan, but I watched every world cup game and watching our boys in green bring home the gold was the best! BTW, watching your reactions was classic!
It's called the tri line. Where they dot the ball down determines where the ball will be placed for the kick over the poles.
That language was Xhosa (one of our many African languages spoken in South Africa) EVERYBODY - white or black - loves the Xhosa commentary team because they are so passionate and enjoy what they are doing
This is awesome lol th-cam.com/video/KPpVLIpt9eg/w-d-xo.html
You are correct. If I hear Joel Stransky, Bob Skinstad or Hugh Bladen, I just flip to Xhosa or Afrikaans. Our English commentators are generally so f****** boring.
Passionate kwinto yonke into esiyithandayo
I love the Xhosa commentary. It shows the true passion for Rugby.
Yep they are the best commentators 🤞😂😂everyone remembers the "loadshedding' line🤣
I love how people all over the world react to our boys in green and gold.Their mouth always hang open in disbelief 😲.
As a South African I am super proud.
Springbok Rugby Team is and always will be the greatest team ever in my book.
Proudly South African 🤪🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The one thing South African Players fear the most from High-School to the Springboks will always be other South African Players
You forgot New Zealand!!
@@owentupua5962 South African rugby players don’t fear them, they respect them 😉👍🏻
@@KOTW.Adventures i like the way you put this😂🤝respect>fear
These guys have been playing rugby 🏉 from an early age 3,4,5 years old. Only the Best get to be a Springbok....
i got tackled hard in uk. after game i found out the guy was from pretoria boys high
Love hearing this about our boys in green and gold!!!!. Soo stoked to be South African
All passes when running forward travels forward because of your momentum running forward. As long as the pass leaves your hands in a backward direction it will be deemed flat or backwards.
si refereeeerefer moronnorom theeht whoohw DependssdnepeD
Blooming phone. Depends who the referee is. Some would blow that as a forward pass
@@danierossouw3803 Indeed they would ... quality of refereeing surely has dropped tremendously but I think this one specifically would be a tough call without tv (although I can see it's backwards, they may not from a field point of view) ... and I really don't want them going to TV all the time for something like a maybe forward pass, already happens so often for random other events already, delays the game ... All Blacks vs France 2007, a blind guy could see that was forward from a kilometer away so another story :P
That specific pass was deemed forward in the match upon review.
Was going to say this, and it does make the rule complex
I don't watch sports in general, but this was fun to watch, especially your questions/reactions to certain stuff we see as "normal", but I guess it's because as South Africans know struggles and failures, and that probably shows because of our dedication to succeed. We can be a volatile country within itself, but if we stand together across all cultures, races and religions, we are a powerful nation, and that's one thing I'm proud of. South Africans are amazing, especially with our diversity, and once we treasure that, nothing can rip us apart. I actually enjoyed watching this video despite not being big on sports though 😅
No that last clip where you asked about if its the superbowl of rugby was the British and Irish Lions tour celebration. Basically every four years, England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland make a dream team called British and Irish Lions and they travel to either Australia, NZ or South Africa to play the best of 3. So for example 2001 they went to Australia, then 2005 they went to NZ, 2009 to South Africa, 2013 back to Australia and so the cycle starts again. Its a massive rivalry and its known for the bloodshed,concussions, ejections,punching and illegal hits above the neck(because there is no love loss between the former British colonies and the colonizers. The same way we celebrate July 4th(because we beat the crap out of the British haha). So in 2021 The B&I Lions toured South Africa and the Boks won the 3 game series 2-1. The Superbowl of rugby is the World Cup. Also happens every 4 years. The next one is next year 2023 in France. The Springboks are current reigning champions and will be looking to defend that illustrious trophy next year.
well said!
moetie kak praati man thats the world cup clip
@@2ndELBB Nope.Look again you idiot. Afrikaans South African I'm assuming?
Beautiful comment
@@2ndELBB I was also thinking that, Siya Kolisi retired from national rugby before the British and Irish lions test
That forward pass from SA n9 was slightly forward, but remember that there is momentum involved, so at a running speed the ball could be caught a bit in front of where a player was when it was thrown, so the general rule of thumb is that the hands have to go back and the ball should not be thrown anterior to the frontal plane.
With regards to the 'touching down' of the ball in the score zone, yes you are absolutely right, the ball has to be touched down for it to count as a try or 'score'. If you can manage to carry the player back across the line or even carry them over the 'dead ball' line, it won't count as a try. Also, you will notice that after the try has been scored a conversion will take place for an extra two points, now this kick will be in line with the area where the ball was touched down, that's why you'll see that given the opportunity, the player will try and touch down the ball as close to the middle of the goalposts as possible, making the conversion kick easier for their kicker.
Was going to comment this but perfectly said man
You can also prevent the other player from touching the ball down by getting your body or parts ff your body underneath the ball. This results in the attacking player being deemed 'held up' and traditionally it resulted in a 5 metre scrum for the attacking team but due to a recent law change is a goal line dropout for the defenders.
Lets go man we have the same last name
It was called a try because you got 5 points and you could "try" for the conversion kick
@@liamparker2590 You're correct that you could try, or make an attempt, for the conversion, but, initially at least, there were no points awarded for the actual try. This was likely a legacy of the roots of rugby being in football, or soccer, where you only score by kicking the ball into the goal. In the late 19th century tries started to score as well, going quickly from 1 to 3 points, and it stayed at 3 for most of the 20th century. Interestingly, the Afrikaans word for a try is "drie", which translates directly to three, reflecting the point value of the try. It was increased to 4 in the 70's and to today's value of 5 in the early 90's (it's still called a "drie" in Afrikaans though)
Southern Hemisphere rugby in general (that’s South Africa, Australia & New Zealand) is very physical. When those teams play it’s a party 🍻
We are a Rugby 🏉 nation. Strength is our weapon 💪💪💪
Well said
We like braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet. We are black, we are white, we are, we are dynamite. Oops sorry sharks 🦈 your song fits in so well with Springboks too.
street violence also is your strength to be fair
@@stilllmkp and racism
@@stilllmkp buddy I'm both an Italian and South African citizen, grew up in Kraaifontein Cape Town one of the roughest places in the country, and everything you're saying is exaggerated. You aren't going to go into the townships now are you? Please my guy, you're more likely to get mugged as a foreigner in London than in Cape Town
The pass at 3:15 was forward, they disallowed the try. Although the rule is that the ball just has to come backwards out of the hands, but due to the player's momentum could still go forward, so some refs might've allowed it. Still an insane run from Lukhanyo Am
@@rvlng7265 Yeah u right it was ruled an obstruction, I remember now. Still was a forward pass but I think the obstruction was Hendrikse on Sam Whitelock, not Etzebeth
Hi love the reactions. Let me try and answer some of your questions.
1. The pass was what the call a flat pass. It is a judgement call on behalf of the refs. If the initial pass when leave the passer's hands is backwards and Momentum carries it forward it is fine.
2. In the scrum, as long as the players are bound to the scrum and the ball has not gone past the last player's feet, it is deemed still in the scrum and can be dribbled forward usually be the last player's called the 8th man or number 8.
3. High kicks, no pleyer is allowed to be played in the air. The hit can only be made once they touch the ground. However an attacking player, like in the video, may contest for the ball in the air and the collision in the air is deemed fair play provided the challenging player has a fair to good chance of getting the ball. You cannot just jump and collide for the sake of knocking the other player away.
4. The touch down (😁 see what I did there.), A try is only scored once the ball is grounded on or over the goal line. It must be done with control and clear downward pressure. The spot where the ball is grounded also determines from where the goal kick or extra points kick needs to be taken.
5. The language you heard was Xhosa, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa.
Just as a side note, the head on head collision you saw and commented on is definitely not legal and the player was red carded for it.
I hope this helps your understanding of the brutally beautiful game we so dearly love.
Regards
I appreciate the time you took. Immense effort
Springboks' physicality is our trademark. That was isiXhosa language, also spoken on Holywood's Black Panther movie. Thank for the review 🖤🇿🇦
In south Africa we have 11 official languages the one that you were asking it was Xhosa language in South Africa we are multilingualism which means we speak 2 or more but the minimum is 2 English is a medium of instruction. We different cultures, I myself I am a Zulu from the know as Shaka Zulu and all this languages in terms of culture/religion/ language we have common activities. We are like a rainbow with 7 colours which means we are the rainbow nation
I speak 3....
Sawobona madota....
That's such a beautiful way of describing your country and languages spoken and the unity of your people!
Molo, Good day, Goeie dag. When it was declared that we are going to have 11 official languages a few people said this is absurd. I think it's amazing because our kids and kids to come will ALWAYS speak more than 2 or 3 languages which some called first world country's people aren't able to do.
I speak 3 and learning a 4th
World Cup Champions for a damn good reason. Very Very proudly South African.
yep, you have to touch the ball down over the line for it to be a try...Note, where you touch it down determines where the conversion attempt after the try is taken from ..i.e. if you score a try under the posts then the conversion will be right in front of the posts, if you score in the corner then you have a really difficult conversion from out by the sideline
I consider the Kiwi's to play a rough game. Every time the 'Boks are pitted against them, my stress levels reach fever pitch. Rugby players are big, strong athletes. I was at Ellis Park one day and I landed up in a throng of spectators - an amateur rugby team who travelled to watch the match - never before have I felt so dwarfed by other people. Huge!
Proud South African 🇿🇦 South Africans is very strong we don't mess around lol. Love the Springboks.
The 'boks are just built differently. Here in New Zealand they're feared, hated, respected, and loved in equal amounts as possibly our great rivals. They're the team we love to hate :) And yes, that try at 3:10 was disallowed for a forward pass. The later one (at 9:45) was "flat" (i.e., nearly parallel with the field markings), but not forward. It's illegal to tackle someone who's in mid-air going for the ball. And yes, you can stop someone scoring by getting your body between the ball and the ground (the ball is "held up" and no try is given). That last scene was after the World Cup final.
What I love about Rugby is that even if you are not a fan or follower of the sport. They will show some highlights of that days games on the sports section of the news and even though you might not understand what is happening, the rules or the scoring, it will be a video where you think to yourself "Wow, that was pretty good"...
Us south Africans take great excitement in rugby even though not all want to play it makes us very proud watching the springboks play and win.thnx for reacting to my country 🇿🇦
The pass at 3:40 was deemed backwards, or "flat", by the TMO. You can't pass forward. However this try was disallowed because of apparent obstruction by Springbok 9 earlier in play.
also I think if you hands are moving in a backwards direction when you pass, your pass is deemed flat or "legal" even if ball does drift forwards naturally because of forward momentum.
You can pass perfectly laterally (it doesn't have to be outrightly backwards).
In this case, I think the camera angle on the video misleadingly made the pass look a bit forward, but I don't think it actually was.
Two yards forward based on the lines on the pitch.
American Football would be a better spectacle for having to actually place the ball over the line rather than just limply running over it.
It would have been called forward but they didn’t even look at it because of earlier infringement
To answer your question about the 1 tri being done in the centre of the "endzone"; it's being done because, the closer the tri (touchdown) is to the centre , the closer your kick will be towards the posts.
Head on head is automatic ejection from the game these days. Modern era is very focused on safety of players given the high number of concussions. The small guy you refer to is Cheslin Kolbe, one of the best players in the world. And the second highest paid.
@McJibbin The reason they run after crossing the "goal line" is, wherever the ball is placed inside the goal line, determines the angle of the kick to the poles that happen after a try is scored. So, the closer to the poles they can get when scoring a try, the easier the kick. 2 points for a kick really matters in tight games
Spot on re touching it down. When tackled you can make one final movement. This explains the offloads to a supporting player, reaching for the line for a try.
Yes, but he also ran it closer to the post for an easier kick (kick is made perpendicular to the spot the try is scored), so it's not really a brag.
To me, the best rugby games played in my era, was the games in the 1995 RWC, the games between Springboks and New Zeeland, with legends like Jona Lomu, Os Durant, Naka, Pienaar, James Small etc, last named probably the smalest guy playing, and gave some of the hardest tackles on Lomu
The last video South Africa are the current world champions. They are 3x world champs tied with their biggest rivals New Zealand who are also 3x world champions.
We live rugby in South Africa, the reason they keep running past the tri line is to try get under the “goal posts” because after a tri you kick in line with where you touched the ball on the ground, so when they keep running it’s not to show off but to touchdown under the posts
Xhosa, the commentators are hilarious.
Love love it,they the best
they are the best!🤣
The reigning, defending Champions of the world 🇿🇦
the thing about the pass nowadays is that it only needs to be coming backwards out of the hands. If inertia brings it forward as in that case then it is okay.
It all depends on the direction of the hands at the time of the pass, if they are facing backwards it is legitimate.
Proudly South African, even though, I am not into rugby. Hardloop hulle plat Springbokkies🙏❤️😍🇿🇦😅
GO BOKKE! 3 time world champions! To answer your question at around 10:50. The further outside of the tri-zone the further away you are for a conversion kick (it's more challenging). The closer you are to the center of the field means the conversion kick is easier because the kick will be basically right in front of the posts. That's why you see them running and putting the ball down for the tri as close to the middle as possible. I hope that makes sense. I tried to summarize it as best as I could.
As a South Africa who has watched rugby many times, the springboks and other South Africa rugby players and teams fight with the determination that if we win, loadshedding will disappear-
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 loadshedding part took me out
This comment is everything! LMGAaaaaaaaa🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That celebration at the end was the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The next one is next year- hope you catch some of the games
2021 British and Irish Lions SA tour. There were a couple more people in the stands at the World Cup final.
I loved watching this video and your reaction. If you think the team is brutal then you have most definitely not seen the fans yet 😆😆 We grow up with rugby, whether you're a boy or girl. Go bokke! 🇿🇦
The Springbok team combines piano carriers with piano players. That is why they are the greatest rugby team in the world.
😂
Proudly south Africa. Love my country ❤️
At 11:06 the reason he ran further in once he passed the tryline is because wherever the ball gets put down is the angle where the conversion (kicker) has to kick the ball from. So if the players are able to they will try get as close to the middle of the polls as possible
To answer your question. The closer you put it down to the poles the easier kick you will have for the conversion which is an extra 2 points when kicked over.
When you asked what language is that, the commentator was speaking isiXhosa, one of South Africas 11 official languages and an official commentator language for Rugby🇿🇦
Hey man, to answer your questions:
Q1) You are correct, all passes must be backwards, the pass you were referring to... It looks like its going forward, but if you look at where the ball was released before the "line", the ball was caught by the receiver also before the quarter line.... technically it was a "flat" pass.
Q2) The scrum-try, as long as the ball is still part of the scrum/in the scrum (meaning it hasn't gone pasts the 8th man's legs) and there is forward movement for the offensive team, they can scrum the entire length of the field and over the try-line.
Q3) If a player tackles another player in the air, or pick him up off the ground in a tackle and slam him down, it's illegal/dangerous play and the guilty player will will be sent off with a red card. The player will then appear before the rugby union and they will determine how long he will be expelled from the season.
Q4) All tries MUST be grounded. No try will be awarded without "grounding" of the ball.
Q5) The strange language is Xhosa.
Q6)That was the World cup, 12 countries competing to see who is the best: South Africa, New Zealand, England, Wales, Ireland, France, Australia, Japan, Scotland, Argentina, Fiji and Italy.
The forward pass rule is that the hands have to be angled backwards as the ball is released. Obviously when two guys are running full speed, the guy passes the ball and it will most likely land on the receivers chest AHEAD of where it was thrown from. It just happens that way because you are running forwards as you release the ball. It’s angled backwards but because you are running forward it still traces downfield in the air - that’s unavoidable. The longer the pass the more like a forward pass it looks, but the ball was never THROWN forward.
spot on and great explanation. Some physics involved.
After the ball was passed, although it originally travelked forward, it curved backwards and was caught behind by the team mate of the first player who threw the rugby ball.
Therefore, deemed not forrward as the second team mate caught it behind his first team mate or player who originally passed by throwing a curved ball traveling backwards.
Well said
As a proud kiwi growing up in the sport Respect to south Africa always great matches to watch 2023 letsgoo
When I was young playing school rugby my father told me this. if you can't run around the opponent run over him. That's basically our mentality.
Big shout out to you too for this reaction. Those are our sports giants 🙌🏽🇿🇦
Hey there Connor ... Regarding min 3.50 -" forward pass" - if you look at the 22m line in front of Am {passing} and Mapimpi {catching} is about 5m in on release abd 5m in on catch...
to answer your question about the ingoal area. yes they have to put it down on the ground because the point on the ground determines the line the kicker has to use to score two more points after a try and it is still possible to loose the ball in the ingoal area
Nice video Yankee boy, props, seriously! I don't give a crap about rugby but you got me feeling national pride for the SA team!
You make them look like real warriors!
They are. Felt the impact at high school level and that's nowhere close to national level.
You should react to the video of Bakkies Botha the enforcer, also played for the sprinboks, but was a tough guy to play against
If you were wondering, we have 11 languages.
Forward pass question - they look at whether the ball leaves your hands going backwards, if you're moving at the speed these guys move at then inertia will always force the ball to 'drift' forwards, so there is an element of judgement involved.
The Springboks is not brutal as depicted in the headline, the just will not back down ever against people taking chances. They are a regular world championship winning team.
“Regular” jeeez🤣 we’re a very very physical team maybe thats why they say brutal
🇿🇦🇿🇦Americans are brutal bru
That’s some hard cope right there. There’s a reason why only NZ and us have won the WC 3 times and no one else is even close. End of the day, we’re the 2 juggernauts of rugby because we’re both the most physically dominant teams
Former pro players have even said it’s a good thing they separate the Tri Nations from the Six Nations. That if either SA or NZ were part of northern hemisphere rugby, 90% of the time it wouldnt be a fair competition and we would just dominate.
Sorry to break it to you, but unless you’re a New Zealander, you’re not in the same league of talent and power as us
@@davidstafford4533 lol you high boss? MSP
Go say that to Bakkies Botha’s face!😂😂😂 Just have someone film his response and pick your hospital in advance…!😂😂😂
He didn't pass it forward, he passed the ball flat. As in to say he passed along his line, directly next to him, that's the closest you can get to a forward pass while keeping it legal
Smaller guys can truck bigger guy with timing and explosive power. If you accelerate at the right time, you mess up the defenders timing. In this clip the French forward to (6) would have wanted to be leaning more forward, but Kolbe was jogging and then accelerated and exploded into him, so it messed up his timing. Kolbe is also very strong for his size and add the speed...
a few answers for you on your questions:
after a try is scored then there will be a conversion kick for another 2 points. so the reason for the player pressing the ball down behind the inzone is because the destination of the kick is calculated according the where the ball is placed in the inzone, usually the best place is closest to the posts.
you are not allowed to tackle a player in the air, you are allowed to compete for the ball in the air, how ever if you fail to compete while in the air and injuring in doing so, then you will definitely receive a red car or if you are lucky, a yellow.
there is also such a thing as a flat pass in rugby, meaning those long passes you saw actually didn't go forward, the ball actually was flat with the guy that was passing, the teammate just had to run up to receive such pass, as they are usually placed a few meters behind the guy passing.
Check out Bakkies Botha! An absolute beast!
Love your reactions, especially when you ask "Is that guy ok??" 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Springboks are the best!!!!
You can't pass the ball forward but there's a momentum rule, you have to put the ball down on the grass whilst still touching the ball to be given a try, for advantage it's better to score near the post, it makes the conversion easier. You can't tackle a man in the air, you have to wait for his feet to be on the ground, you can all compete to catch a ball high in the air. But no tackles without the ball, no obstruction or offsides.
10:27 The ball has to be grounded in order for a try to be awarded. The objective is to score, obviously but in order to convert the additional 2 points that come after, the closer you are to the posts means your kicker has an easier job of making said conversion. So if you're always grounding the ball close to the touchline, in a tight game it makes those conversion kicks harder for your fullback.
Well, your flyhalf ... but sometimes the fullback ;)
5:25 its a scrum and the the scrum is moving (more like crushing) thus the ball is protected until the scrum stops moving, if it stops moving, they have to use/play the ball.
We don't only want to play we want to hurt, its just culture
1) if you release the ball with a backward motion the pass is not deemed to be passed forward.
2) the object is to score a try as close to the posts as possible because this determines where the conversion (kick) will be taken from...ie. score in the corner, attempt the conversion from the corner
@McJibbin I also noticed you did not react big enough to the absolute out of this world insane pass behind the back from Lukhanyo Am at 7:31 😝
Superb...!!!
I remember that try. Frieking amazing pass lol
True story. The Springbok training camp had to invest in new and Heavier weights to push Eben during training. Apparently he asked what he was supposed to do with those small weights when he first walked in. The heaviest weights at the time were 40kg dumbells, 88lbs.
Who ever watches your channel please go and watch Chasing The Sun Netflix Springboks and you will understand how much this Game means to us in South Africa 🇿🇦 love ❤️ your views on schoolboys Rugby because there is we’re we start
Chasing the Sun is hard to get here in the US. It seems that no major US distributor is willing the license it, so it's not available through Amazon for example. I was fortunate to catch couple of episodes on TH-cam, but these were quickly taken down unfortunately.
It wasn't a forward pass - it was probably on the line.
But your reaction of Kolbe (the small guy) running that guy over was classic!
From South Africa.
It was a mile forward.
If you struggle with the rules of the game I honestly suggest watching a full game with someone that does understand them, you will learn a lot 👍🏻
Where you place the ball when scoring a try determines the line from which you get to kick. If you place the ball closer to the posts during a try, the goal kick follows the lateral line from where the try was scored.
Never underestimate us South Africa for life
It's where you put the ball down in the goal box is where you take your kick goal from, so if you touchdown in the left corner that's where you that the field kick goal from , that's why they always run it too the center to touch it down so they get a clean easy shot through the goal posts
I was in one of the most well known rugby schools in South Africa...Paarl Boys High. The way we played our rugby was just the way it is, we didn't know any different ,but funnily enough we agreed at the time (late seventies) that the physically hardest team to play against was Boland Agricultural School. We'll win against them but we were really happy when the game was over . Those boys came at you hard man.
In the good ole days the up and under was very popular. The idea was to intimidate people, especially the fullback. They'll kick the ball high and the idea was to just plough him having the ball in hand or not . After the game become professional (1995 onwards) and they start to play a lot more games, they also changed the rules to make it a lot safer. Before that it was a free for all and brutal. Now the player that is about to catch the ball normally jumps into the air and then the attacking player must give him a moment to catch the ball. It is a judgement call and not always easy to decide on.
My school (framesby) is matching up with Paarl Boys and basically every top 10 rugby school next year and i know that it will never be easy in rugby wether your the fullback scared for your life when the other teaming is rushing towards you or the center afraid of an interception or being spear tackled out of the game and that is exactly why i love playing rugby the adrenaline keeps me going and on my toes imo. Best sport ever.
Hey dude. Thank for spreading our sport. Especially the Springboks. To score a try (touchdown) the ball must be dotted after the line for 5 points. The kick/ conversion for an additional 2 points follows. The kicker places the ball in line with the spot where the try was scored/ dotted down. The closer to the poles, the easier for the kicker.😉
Loved your video!! I'm from South Africa and the Springboks are our team. We've had some amazing players!! Please do a video on Bakkies Botha and Schalk Burger. You'll be amazed at these South African players!! 😊
Schalk our own Robobok
4:56 was a scuffle because the yellow winger had carried out a shoulder charge without arms (and illegally and dangerously) for a second time in two weeks, the first one causing a try to not be scored and the game to be lost. He tried it again this time and got the try scorer in his face.
Going to become the 2023 champions here we come! Proudly South African 🇿🇦
Got to beat Ireland, France or All Black yet. You've already lost to Ireland once in group stage
@@cathalodiubhain5739 can't win everything 😁
@@jay616 I have a funny feeling the Boks will make it to the finals for sure, not sure if we ( Ireland) can, hopefully we will. If so can we beat the Boks a second time?
@@cathalodiubhain5739 everything can happen 😁 it's all open game at this moment may the best win 🙏🏽
@@jay616 exactly, best of luck to yea
U are correct. In rugby you may not pass forward. Some of those did look a bit forward.
Previous it was sort of allowed, but with new rules and regulations you may not play the player in the air. The player that cathces the ball needs to land safely.
Yes. If if you are behind the try line. You need to make a try (controlled placement of the ball to the ground).
The reason they sometime run across the try area is because where the ball is placed/tried dictates where the line from where the kicker must kick for convertion, thus they run nearest to the post for an easier kick.
Haha I was at one of those matches. SB destroyed us 😅
There has to be downward pressure of the ball onto the turf in the in-goal area before the try is awarded. Players will often attempt to touch down under the posts or as close to the posts as possible in order to make it easier for their kicker to convert the try into a goal (7 points. 5 points for the try and and additional 2 points if the try is successfully converted.) The ball is placed anywhere in line (perpendicular) with the spot where the try occurred. If the try is scored under the posts, then the kicker can place the ball anywhere he likes in order to convert the try by kicking the ball between the uprights and over the cross-bar.
The only thing that makes me proud to be a South African at the moment...
When a kick at the poles is taken, the positioning depends on where the ball touched down behind the try line when the try was scored
Hey dude, with regards to your question about the long pass, that was a side pass. In rugby, you’re allowed to pass it sideways or backwards. Not forwards. However, in motion like that, at the time of when he threw it, it was sideways as his team mate was behind him so he was on side. And he calculated that with the length and angle to throw it to his team mate, it was going to land perfectly on his side when he received it so that he would be on side and could run the ball further to score. The referee’s see this and confirm with TMO and in this case, the throw was sideways and good. Therefore, the try would be awarded.
In terms of your scoring question, yes, just because you cross into the try zone with the ball without grounding in it, doesn’t mean you have scored yet. You need to ground the ball on the ground in the try zone for the try to be awarded. If you don’t, the defending team can stop you from doing getting the points.
While this game is rough and the most brutal game on Earth, it is also very technical and the players are exceptionally well trained with their strategies and game plays perfected in order to win it. You need to make 6-9 decisions in 1 second when you have ball possession.
It’s a brilliant and tough game and we South Africans, are the masters of it.
P.S. we don’t wear pads or helmets like in American football, our muscles and strong bones and being “contact fit” are our pads. We eat our meat and drink our beer to keep up our strength on the battlefield as it’s not a game, it’s war.
Regarding the running in the try area or "end zone", the goal is to place the ball as close to the poles as possible when scoring the try, hence making the angle of the kick easier for your goal kicker. Also yes, they can tackle you out of the try zone if you have not placed the ball down on the ground in a controlled manner.
So, not sure if anyone's answered your questions yet but I will just in case...
* No forward passing is allowed whatsoever. The ball must leave the players' hands backwards. Not sure if that try was awarded or disputed.
* The ball needs to be grounded (touched down) over the try (goal) line. Running over the line doesn't constitute a goal. The opposing team could ground the ball and then there's no try.
* That language was Xhosa and, though I don't speak it myself, is so much fun to listen to. The guys get so into it!
* Jumping for a high ball is super dangerous and there are often penalties involved.
* That "head on head" bump actually resulted in a broken jaw and suspension of our player. It was not cool at all.
So glad you enjoyed watching our boys!
The forward pass rule:
So in Rugby the ball will always move forward during a pass so long the players were running forward at least.
So a forward pass is when the player passing has his hands forward when releasing the ball.
Even when the ball is the released the player catching will be in front of the point of release
So the goal is to get the try (ball touching the ground) as close to the middle of the goal posts as possible, because every try needs to be converted with a kick to goal post. The kick happens perpendicular to the position of the try... So the further to the side the try was scored, the more acute the kicking angle will be. I think with the passing of the ball, the person you are passing the ball to only has to be behind you at the moment of passing and it has to happen with a backwards motion.
When the TMO checks for forward passes, they almost always look out for the hands of the player that passed the ball.
If he releases the ball where his hands are going backwards the pass is usually fine.
They obviously sometimes make wrong decisions as well.
That try that blew your mind regarding the forward pass was checked by the official and disallowed..so you were correct
If you over the "try line(goal line)" if the opponent gets the ball and taps if before you, it's considered what we call "game reset" but can only be done whilst the ball was carried over the "try line" by the team whas to score in set area
