The general tackle rule is 'It is illegal to deliberately attack the neck or head during a tackle!"..The head cover some are wearing must be made of a soft material, and is purely for protection of the ears! None of the tackles i saw in this video would be declared to be illegal!..In passing, you can always pick a Rugby player..We've all got bent noses, and no front teeth!
Soo basically rugby union is what you just reacted to is massive in England, south Africa, new zeland and Ireland but in Australia a different sport called rugby league is popular which Is similar to union but bit different. Rugby league is big in Australia New zeland and England and a bit of France. But ow there is a canadian team in the beetferd super league soo you should react to rugby league biggest hits
In answer to your query, when a player gets injured, a man runs onto the pitch carrying a sponge. He squeezes the sponge over the injured area and the player immediately gets back up and carries on playing. The sponge is called 'The magic sponge'.
as long as you wrap your arms around them, anything goes. like you can literally displace their soul from their body but as long as you're hugging them its all good.
Or get a cheeky late tackle if they had the ball in the last 2/3 seconds just smash them ref can’t really do much as you had already engaged the tackle when he had the ball!
False, the tackle has to be below the shoulders and or neck (depending on what ref you get) and you have to wrap up otherwise it’s illegal. And you can’t put their feet over there head which is a very dangerous tackle-
@@henchmonkey6824 the cap is slightly padded and is there to protect your ears from being ripped of during scruming ( a way to restart play after say a foul) also works well when you are the one tackling to protect your ears. you might also see guys with bandanas around there head, this is usually some form of tape they use to stick there ears to there head ( again dont want those ripped off).
The 'helmet' also helps when studs are scraped across the head! (For removing of ears) or when a player has stitches in the head... check out rugby league too! One is a gentleman's game played by thugs! The other is a thugs game played by gentleman!
They did a study somewhere, not to sure where, but they calculated that each tackle is the equivalent of having a fridge dropped onto you from about two Meyer in the air.
@Football Fan I mean they kinda do, there's a difference between rugby and nfl, NFL players wear gear and head guards, rugby players are taking some of the biggest hits without being fully geared out
Mostly true on the tackling, but concussions are fairly common. Got a few of those when I played rugby...good times.

Rugby players learn how to drop their shoulder when running and to catch and close the legs while driving forward when tackling. In American football it's just a joke how they throw themselves at each other like a catapult.
@@cristianmacc then your either playing w pussys when it comes to rugby or you don’t go for it in rugby. Iv played both. American football is a piece of piss when it comes to contact however your plays and shit are confusing. NFL is soft man’s Rugby
That "little helmet" is to protect your ears. Rugby tends to give you something called "Cauliflower Ears," that those stop it from happening. Inversely, it's found that wearing a head cap to protect against concussions tends to lead to more concussions because players think it's more protective then it actually is. In regards to injuries, if you're down and recieving treatment, sometimes you just play around the physio and the downed player. Rugby is fucking hardcore!
@@gauthiergimbert6614 hey bro im a kiwi . oh I remember him lol he was one tough bastard . I don't condone violence but that tough rough kind of game is whats missing in rugby . that's why ive always admired the French rugby side . That flair and unpredictability .
Lol I cracked up when I heard him say little helmet. It's a scrum cap bud and it does nothing as a helmet just there to protect your ears and temples. That's usually for us ugly guys up in the pack 😂😂
I love how he says OMG you're not allowed to hit the kicker and he doesn't even know the sport! Like, that is legal whoever has the ball they can hit even if they are kicking.
Yup. I've been a part of my college rugby club for 3 years and there's at least 1 hospital trip for every friendly held each year. The worst one was a guy getting his forearm snapped in two.
@Allijah Carpenter stop this insecure shit. Everyone knows that rugby players and american football players have a respect for each others. Dont make a rivalry because if you would be hit by tuliagi's brothers it would be probably a same hard shit as from your mentioned players. Anyway its still about how you react before the tackle and i think most rugby players know how to handle a contact.
@Daniel Burke That's a lie and you know that. Even an NFL lineman weighing 300+lbs runs at a speed of 15mph+ on average. Let alone guys like Aaron Donald. Larry Allen NFL linesmen measured 6'3 325lbs aand ran the 40 yard dash in in 4.86 sec. How many shorter agile rugby players can run that fast. Imagine that force running at you at full speed(Rugby players never run full speed because of the nature of the game). American football is a series of sprints. In the early 1900s when there were no helmets and pads 15 people died every year playing American football back when players were 5'5 150 lbs workers. Even our White guys will destroy rugby players every day of the week and twice on sundays with or without pads(btw NFL players play tackle football without pads in training which is like rugby but harder). Sorry but rugby is a child's play next to American football. Football has way more concussions than rugby. No forward pass and shoulder charge were made to make the game softer to please the posh people who played the sport. Our football was always played by working class populace who were tougher.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS FOR THE NFL IS CTE FROM CONCUSSIONS. FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE WEARING HELMETS AND STILL GETTING CONCUSSIONS. LMFAO. YOU THINK RUBY IS HARD HITTING? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@macshitstabber4035 well u get more concussions In white collar boxing than professional boxing that due to the head gear stopping outter damage but still rocking the head so the brain smacks against the skull that what causes concussion so a helmet wont protect against that
@@macshitstabber4035 I'd rather hit my head on the grass in rugby then hitting it in a helmet in football and having it bounce around like a fucking pinball for a moment before doing it again two seconds later. The helmet is the problem, not the solution
Mac Shitstabber has nothing to do with how hard it is, your head rocks in a hard shell making it more likely you get a concussion. Besides that in nfl they don’t have the same tackling expertise as they do in rugby.
Rugby is more like an australian and kiwi sport. Rugby audiences and players in England are mostly upper class. Things are changed for sure but rugby isn't nearly as popular as soccer in England. Rugby is as popular in England as ice hockey is in the US and ice hockey is the fourth most popular sport in the US
@@theterrar3566 me being a rugby player from England , football (soccer as you call it) is more popular than rugby but rugby is still very popular , in schools we play rugby and not soccer , New Zealand and Australia also play it a lot , but it is very very popular amongst 11-18 year olds in England
Americans don't like endurance sports, every american sport has constant stops, timeouts, even hockey has 3 different teams to rotate the players constantly, and then two 20 minute breaks during the game. NFL has around 12 minutes of game time even though the game lasts 3 plus hours. Then baseball, the just stand around for 3 hours.
Just watched the first half of the Super Bowl n it’s like, play 5 seconds, pause, chat, ads, ads, chat, play 5 secs, stop, ads, talk, 10 secs play, 5 min break. Like c’mon so painful to watch in my opinion
@@daveaglasgow why yall got to shit on my sport so much? We don't do it to you and it'd be nice if you could see that American football and rugby are total different sports
@@f_alcon2903 lol first of all you do it constantly. "Soccer isn't a real sport" etc. Second of all they aren't shitting on it, just talking about why for an average non American its unwatchable. Not the sport itself, the hl are very entertaining, but too much dead time and commercials.
The most important rules to respect when you tackle someone in rugby are : -you can only tackle the guy with the ball -Don't tackle above the shoulders -Don't tackle a guy while he is in the air -Don't lift the guy you tackle -hit someone with your elbow isn't a tackle and it's forbidden -if someone is K.O. The match is immediately paused and the guy is evacuate (it's called Concussion Protocol) Lots of those clips doesn't respect the rules...
Safe tackling is key and core to training. The modern game has seen a shift to bodychecking rather than leg tackling where skilled smaller players can stop bigger players
You can lift when you tackle but you have to follow the tackle through you can’t turn them upside down and then drop them on their neck You also have to make an effort to tackle you can’t shoulder barge you have to at least appear to attempt to wrap your arms
@@aidenbester8840 Well it's either that or crushing the windpipe. The aim for tackling is to go for the waist, but like with all contact sports, the heat of the moment doesn't allow you much leeway to adjust your tackle
The empty seats are smaller games . Watch international games.England. Wales. Ireland. Scotland. New Zealand. Australia.south Africa.oh and now Japan lol.ok maybe not Japan after south Africa showed them that your run was good but you'll only get so far until you meet a serious south African side. Ireland are a top side but new Zealand really took the piss.and france, well the red carded player cost them the game.Australia came up against the best side in the cup with new Zealand.England v new Zealand world cup semi finals will be the most important game ive seen since 2007 final.12 years i cant f****** wait.every rugby fan are you all looking forward to England v new Zealand and wales v south Africa? Send comments back on your predictions.
SPRINGBOKS! Can't leave out one of the top teams, more so than Scotland, Wales, Australia... even Ireland and England have nothing over SA. NZ though is abit of a headache for SA
Some of them do not even believe the earth is round. A lot of them do not know there are actually other civilized countries in the world. Most of them do not wanna know about or be bothered by the existence of other countries and cultures in general. I guess that pretty much sums it up.
U do realize American football is more dangerous. Y’all can’t even tackle someone in the air or above the shoulders. American football is more dangerous because they are able to tackle more ways. Y’all don’t hit head on either. It’s just way more reckless than rugby and that’s in the most un-biased way possible
Derek Caler / Don’t day you are being unbiased. Because your not, rugby is a much more dangerous sport, yes you can do more types of tackles but the padding is there to reduce the damage considerably. Rugby is more played around the world because it is a SPORT not a game (like American football). There is a bit of the game where both teams lock their heads together and fight for the ball, this is much more dangerous than anything in American football, people break necks doing this. Concussion and injury is much more likely during rugby, it is a real sport, and much more dangerous. You have no clue what you are on about, don’t defend your sport when you are factually wrong.
James Holloway ur dumb. Y’all don’t even get close to as many injuries as NFL players get. Do y’all tear acl’s before the season even starts? Didn’t think so. Rugby is tougher, but not more dangerous. Even a Rugby player said it himself in a TH-cam video that American football is more dangerous. Pads on a player are weapons. You guys don’t head hunt like NFL players do or get nearly as many concussions. Sit this one out kid
When he asks if they are normal tackles. HELL YEAH !! alot of them were actually quite delicate in comparison to some I've seen. Also yes concussions, whiplash, broken noses, broken jaws, lost or chipped teeth, broken wrists, dislocated shoulders. All very common injuries in rugby. Best sport ever
@@charlieandrews6944 I started at 10. But stopped after a few years cuz I didn't enjoy it due to being the scrawny kid on the field. I was only there cuz I was always a god at passing so I was scrum half
@@drewpenn7440 you should see some hard NFL hits too. They're both crazy sports and the hits are harder than football because they think they're safe with the equipment on
The one passing rule to remember is, YOU CANNOT PASS FORWARDS ONLY BACK.THAT IS WHY THEY RUN IN A DIAGONAL LINE ONE SLIGHTLY BEHIND THE OTHER. Makes it harder to get up field, you cannot just stand at your back line and lob it forward. They are all quite normal tackles which happen in every game, right from schoolboy up to International standard!! Injuries do happen, but not as many as you would imagine!!
Zaid Elashy lmaoo I would loveeeeee to seee our NFL players walk onto the field with some Rugby players playing rugby...then after a few weeks rest play OUR football and see what it’s like.....to start off it would probably be intimidating for rugby players because NFL players wearing no pads?? Their fast, tall, and big as it is that just gonna be worse for you rugby fans😂 god I wish
The impact seems harsh but as someone who’s been playing for the last few years the adrenaline keeps u from feeling it u feel a bit stiff after a game but usually nothing serious from a tackle like that
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------------------
@@JackRedmond then you epitomise a rugby player , versatile tough and go where your told . No argument because it's about the team and the boys .well done Jack.
Facts...rugby is world wide but football is mostly just based in the US...like I cant name even one other country that plays football besides America🤷🏾♀️(n by football I don't mean soccer)
"those dudes would get killed if hit as hard as playing footbal"... come on. theres no helmet, no chest or shoulders protection. theres no timeouts and little stops in a rugby match. no football player could run for 40 minutes (x2)
Tackle and blocking rules are different, smartass, how about you do research before talking? Both are far more free in football, which means far more concussions and injuries. If rugbiers were allowed to tackle like that without pads, deaths would start to be commonplace.
I’m from New Zealand where rugby is a big sport for us and one of my American friend said, and I quote “If American football players were to play against rugby players, American football players would definitely win because they’re stronger and better” and I’m like “tf. Rugby players don’t need anything to protect themselves and our tackles are pretty mad” 🤦♂️
For the tackling rule: -the guy you tackle must have the ball or receiving it or just having passed it, you can't check people at random. -you must "grab" with your arm, not go shoulder first. -you must grab under the shoulder ( you can grab over the arm but torso level not neck level) -you mustn't lift You can counter tackle by bracing shoulder first or pushing with open palm on the chest/shoulder
You can lift, but when you put them down they cannot be rotated (cos they would land on their neck) Also, if they jump you can't tackle them (off recieving kicks or high passes, etc. You need to wait for them to get down), but they can't jump into the tackle
In America, We like to see the shoulder put into the ball carrier. That's the way it's supposed to be done. Otherwise it's an "arm-tackle" that's easy to break away from and ineffective. You're supposed to lift and drive during a tackle. It's OK to put your shoulder into someones chest or shoulder to hit them. Everything I just said is shown in this highlight video, and it's the way Rugby should be played. There's way too many red card violations in Rugby which have effeminized and demasculinized the sport, and the same politically-correct "safety" nonsense has affected the NFL resulting in reduced viewership and aggravating the players as well as the fans. And that was BEFORE Colin Kapernick and his nonsense. If u wanna sell Rugby to Americans, it had better be rough and hard-hitting. End. Of. Rant.
@@timmycrw91 Tackles can be perfectly good without any lifting at all, I would argue that the best tackles you will ever see do not lift the attacker up at all. The tackler's shoulder should be low and their arms have to wrap around at least a little for the tackle to be legal, otherwise the tackles will degenerate into the disorganised shtty tackles that you see in other sports such as nfl (although there will be bigger hits more often, there will also be a lot more missed tackles), which is why technique is so important. In rugby, the aim of tackling is, at the end of the day, to brinng the other opponent down in the most efficient and consistent way possible, which is why the techniques taught at a young age are used, with minimal lifting. The only reason to use a lift in a tackle is if you want to discourage the opponents into running into you again (not literally, think getting big tackles first up as what i mean there), NOT to please the crowds or the americans
We have had players paralysed. The NRL had to implement the “blood rule” because our players will play with blood and/or broken bones if we let them. We had a player continue to play after he tore his balls. We also have ambos on standby at the side of the field for every game.
@@loveboxinglucky1716 just think about the dominions in the world wars. They’re bigger, stronger & far more keen than the British & Americans. When there isn’t war, there’s rugby. There’s also still rugby in war
Quin Stephens there’s more people retiring from nfl because of concussions or head injuries as apposed to rugby, then again rugby players suffer from shoulder injuries a whole lot more tho
Those “little helmets” are scrum caps to stop ur ears rubbing in the scrum and them being destroyed. Not really for protection. And if a tackle is above shoulder height it is a foul
Yeah, I wanna see him react to Cheslin Kolbe and Faf de Klerk. Two smallest players with the biggest impact, especially when they are on the field together
It’s because this is a proper sport for proper people.. also in nfl , if you have to wear that amount of protection it is not a good sport.. finally American football is soccer and what you call soccer is football
Michael Nelson as Someone who’s played to both sports American football is harder hitting that “armour” makes hits even harder, we also have to catch the ball so when players are jumping up like that it makes sense to have a helmet as well as on line
@@michaellegg3430 well to be fair to them, baseball isn't only played in America. It's enormously popular in Asia, particularly Japan and South Korea. But they don't allow Japanese and Korean teams to play in the world series so yeah it's still dumb. Juet not quite as dumb. They buy loads of Asian baseball players to play in the MLB. So they do get to play in the world series if they're good enough. Kinda like South American football players playing in the champions league, which only European teams can enter.
@@jackcappaert5268 tbf it isn't as dangerous obviously but he was probably defending the fact that because like 7 players flop sometimes there are genuinely career ending injuries I mean I would know I've nearly had 6 before I've even got to amateur level
Triple Tael man I know it’s just it’s state so it’s not popular i whear one because I play for county but a lot of people don’t cuz they only play school
I can’t believe this guy thinks that Football is safer than Rugby, in Rugby you actually get penalized if you hurt somebody but it Football it’s fine. All the clips he’s seeing are clips where people get hurt when that rarely happens
Even the crowds are significantly different, football fans regularly cause fights and property damage in the streets, the police are usually on standby... but at rugby games, the crowd are usually very polite, very few incidents occur... well from what I have seen working in security for these sort of games XD
@@eskhaphey2873 Football (soccer) fans are also notorious for being a recruitment meat for neonazis. Pretty much every nationalistic organization gets their recruits and foot soldiers specifically from football fans.
Concussions aren't the problem. The protocols for dealing with concussions were the problem. So the rule changes in Rugby and American football were unnecessary, and, of course, always under the BS pretext of "safety". So here's the deal : If a player gets a concussion, they shouldn't practice or play til they're healed; no time limits. But if a player practices n plays before healing, they will get repeated concussions, and later in life may get CTE. So the concussion protocols needed to change, but not the rules of the games.
@@zackhopkins3938 It's extreme for Americans because many have never seen, let alone played, Rugby. They don't expect to see stuff like this without helmets and pads, so it comes as a shock to many.
isn't it the helmets that cause the concussion in NFL tho. i mean it's the brain hitting against the skull that causes it. the helmet is more so you don't crack your skull open.
To be fair, some of the hits were illegal and it rlly pisses me off (not only this video, but other compilations as well). There are more than enough big hits which are legal without having to show the illegal ones
Depends on the code of Rugby but rules basically no hits above the shoulder are allowed. You can't hit anyone when they're off the ground. You can't tackle in away that the feet go above the head. You must use you arms in a tackling technique so no ice hockey style checking. And in League, not sure about Union, you can't tackle in a way intended to manipulate a player's joints. Examples would be a chicken wing tackle or a cannonball tackle.
As long as the ball carrier is running with the ball, the defenders can tackle the ball carrier in any way possible, as long as it's not above neck height. If a ball carrier kicks/passes the ball right before the tackle, the tackler won't be penalized for making the tackle as that technique is called off-loading, and is done to give the ball to another runner right before one gets tackled so that the team can get extra meters. So yes, the tackle off the kick at 1:40 is completely legal, and so is the tackle at 1:08. The tackle at 1:08 is simply an example of moving up fast so your opponent doesn't have time to start running/accelerate. In rugby, these hits are normal A tackle is 100% legal as long as it's below neck height
every american says football is better cause they tackle each other But they're forgetting that rugby involves tackling each other But without helmets or soft pads
Colin, that was at least part of my point, the other is the way womens American Football is portrayed, women playing rugby wear essentially the same kit as the men, in American football the womens kit is cut to show cleavage and ass.
@@colindickson8034 tiny shorts bc they choose to wear it and generally we only wear tiny shorts at training, we get the opportunity to wear kit that isnt halfway up our asses constantly
The best way to describe Rugby is "Controlled Violence." As in there are rules in the game, but unlike in the NFL, the play doesn't stop due to no forward passing. Players do wear protective gear, it just usually consists of a groin box and gum shield. The helmets they wear are more to protect their ears from damage aka Cauliflower Ears, rather than impact protection. Also because the play doesn't stop as often as in a NFL game, players have to keep going despite being hurt from a tackle.
The tackles you see when the players where hit with out the ball are perfectly legal because the player had already committed to the tackle (committed to tackle is when they won’t be able to stop to avoid hitting the player that doesn’t have the ball)
from europe watching nfl : why do they have padding on? why is there a break every time someone hits the ground? oh and thats no helmet thats a cloth headgear with protection for the ears that tend to be crushed in the melee
They have padding gear on because without them players will literally be dying..... Before there was pads, there was literally a bunch of deaths happening all the time in American football. That's why they was implemented.
Heres some rules of contact in a tackle: 1) ABSOLUTELY NO NO NO NO SPEAR TACKLES!! - a spear tackle is when you lift the offensive player up off the ground in the tackle and invert him before forcibly driving him into the ground. If you tip any player beyond the horizontal mark it is highly illegal and will mostly be punished with an instant red card (kicked off for the whole game) and may even result in investigations, suspensions, bans, and fines depending on the severity of the offense. This is due to the serious risk of the tackle which has in many cases caused severe head injuries and concussions, spinal damage, dislocations, broken bones in the shoulder or neck, and even death. 2) No "head-high" tackles - basically just no direct hits to anywhere above the shoulders (if the player with the ball deliberately ducks down low right as he goes into contact causing the defender to make an accidentally head-high tackle then there normally won't be a penalty awarded). This rule also only applies to defenders, while the player with the ball can "fend" which is when they stick out a stiff arm to block and fend off their defenders and in this case head high contact to the defender is allowed. 3) No shoulder charging - a defender has to wrap their arms around the player they're tackling (or at least make a decent effort to) and can't use their shoulder to make a concentrated initial contact on the offensive player with the ball. Sometimes a shoulder charge is combined with a head high hit (when a defender makes concentrated contact with the offensive players head using only their shoulder) and is a lethal blow which will be penalized similarly to spear tackling. 4) No tackling the player when he's in the air - if the player has to jump to catch a pass or a kick you can't hit him until he's in contact with the ground (if he jumps for no reason just before going into contact with a defender it's his own fault and it'll be his funeral) 5) No tackling the player if he doesn't have possession of the ball - if you tackle a player when he doesn't have the ball it's illegal (although normally if a player releases the ball in a pass right before being hit by a defender who's already head down and fully committed to the the tackle then he can get away with it but it varies a little bit with every referee so it's still a risk). So you can get away with it if the player has just barely released the ball, but you won't get away with it if he is just barely about to catch the ball. After releasing the ball gets a small bit of lenience, before receiving the ball gets none at all. That's pretty much all I can think of as far as tackling rules go...then of course there's all of the rules of the ruck which would probly out-number the word count of a bible so I won't start on them. Lets just say there's a hang of a lot of rules!!
LMFAO. 330 AMERICANS VS A BUNCH OF POOR SHITHOLE COUNTRIES AND MORONS LIKE YOU. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NFL- MOST PROFILE LEAGUE IN THE WORLD. 😂😂😂 FOOTBALL HITS OVER 3X HARDER THAN RUGBY. 😂😂😂😂😂 FOOTBALL REQUIRES MORE SKILL. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
1. In tackling you have to tackle below the neck and you have to use you arms e.g you can’t just run in with you shoulder. But you youse your shoulder and arms in combination. Also you can’t tackle someone when they are in the air. You can only tackle or come into contact with someone who has the ball. 2. Rugby is a very popular game but there are many leagues that are on tv so some of the much lower league games are not as well supported. 3. Concussions are a problem in rugby but not as much as football, all of the rules on where can you tackle and when can you tackle them means there are much less, also the rules are very strictly enforced e.g. you would be given a red card and sent off for tackling someone whilst they were in the air. 4. Those helmets are called scrum caps. They don’t protect your head from concussions, there jobs is to protect your ears when in a scrum and prevent you from getting cauliflower ear, and to prevent your head from being cut. Hope this helps you out. I can answer any other questions
Just saying mate, but whatever rugby you play, you arent playing it right. You tackle with your shoulder, you can run in with your shoulder unless it's a maul
Jon S ... and a dirty grub, who can’t tackle unless he uses his shoulders to stop players. Felt soooo good when Cheslin Kolbe made him look like an amateur with that try. Everyone, and I mean everyone except English fans was so stoked when he had his smile wiped of his cocky face.
I feel like if someone’s gonna react to a rugby video they should actually do a bit of freaking research before so they’re not just asking questions to the camera the entire way through and have a slight clue what’s going on! Completely put me off the video!
As with any sport how full the stadium is, is dependant on who is playing, what competition it is and what the level of the teams are. Unlike American Football, rugby is international, meaning more competitions in many countries with different rugby culture and different levels of popularity. For instance international matches and competitions draws the most, then inter-domestic competitions (such as Heineken Cup/Super Rugby), then Domestic Comps (Top 14/Mitre 10/Currie Cup) then grade rugby (University/U20/School Boy). All of those can draw full stadiums or empty stadiums depending on the country, team and comp where its being played

i can tell you almost everything about rugby if you want
Average American you are the biggest idiot *helmets* they are scrum caps plus THIS IS NOT AMERICAN FOOTBALL NUMNIUTS
The general tackle rule is 'It is illegal to deliberately attack the neck or head during a tackle!"..The head cover some are wearing must be made of a soft material, and is purely for protection of the ears! None of the tackles i saw in this video would be declared to be illegal!..In passing, you can always pick a Rugby player..We've all got bent noses, and no front teeth!
Average American they hit each other as hard there are just more rules when it comes to tackling
Soo basically rugby union is what you just reacted to is massive in England, south Africa, new zeland and Ireland but in Australia a different sport called rugby league is popular which Is similar to union but bit different. Rugby league is big in Australia New zeland and England and a bit of France. But ow there is a canadian team in the beetferd super league soo you should react to rugby league biggest hits

In answer to your query, when a player gets injured, a man runs onto the pitch carrying a sponge. He squeezes the sponge over the injured area and the player immediately gets back up and carries on playing. The sponge is called 'The magic sponge'.
It's the human version of those white sponges that you can buy for cleaning your cooking pans. 🤣
it genuinely works. Ask any kid who ever played rugby. Sponge and deepheat spray.
Magic I tell ya.
Eh? It's not the sponge: it's the water in the sponge.
God bless the magic sponge
as long as you wrap your arms around them, anything goes. like you can literally displace their soul from their body but as long as you're hugging them its all good.
Also it can't be above your neck
Yeah and they have to have the ball or at least have the ball when the tackle was started

Nothing to have to do with sexism!
True
They can tackle whoever the hell they want, as long as the player has the ball.
Or get a cheeky late tackle if they had the ball in the last 2/3 seconds just smash them ref can’t really do much as you had already engaged the tackle when he had the ball!
Except for the ref : )
@@jacqueshughes3085 linesmen are fair game
You have to have the ball weak you can just tackle and knock over who you want in football
False, the tackle has to be below the shoulders and or neck (depending on what ref you get) and you have to wrap up otherwise it’s illegal. And you can’t put their feet over there head which is a very dangerous tackle-
Did anyone else cringe when he called a scrum hat a “helmet”
scrum cap
it's called head gear i'm pretty sure
Yup
Sean Gautusa no it’s a scrum cap/scrum hat
Yep
The “little helmets” are to protect your ears from ripping in the scrum. They don’t really help with concussions
In junior school they made all of us wear them, including the backline. Does it not help at all with softening blows?
Nestor Walsh It has padding yea, but its main use is to stop you from getting “cauliflower ears” from the scrums
Just gotta day we’ll played and congrats on getting into the final. Tbh I hope u beat South Africa. This is from a Welsh man 🏴🏴
Always thought the guys wearing scrum caps were wimps at school. Never realised it was for ear protection until it was too late.
@@nestorwalsh2406 no in your case it is psychological
The little helmet is to prevent your ears being ripped off
Scrum cap
@@henchmonkey6824 the cap is slightly padded and is there to protect your ears from being ripped of during scruming ( a way to restart play after say a foul) also works well when you are the one tackling to protect your ears. you might also see guys with bandanas around there head, this is usually some form of tape they use to stick there ears to there head ( again dont want those ripped off).
The 'helmet' also helps when studs are scraped across the head! (For removing of ears) or when a player has stitches in the head... check out rugby league too! One is a gentleman's game played by thugs! The other is a thugs game played by gentleman!
Not really it’s a scrum cap so in a scrum it help their head w the amount of pressure on it, to stop ur ears being ripped off they tape them
And also to prevent cauliflower ears

This guys tryna escape the fact that rugby has harder hitters
They did a study somewhere, not to sure where, but they calculated that each tackle is the equivalent of having a fridge dropped onto you from about two Meyer in the air.
@Football Fan I mean they kinda do, there's a difference between rugby and nfl, NFL players wear gear and head guards, rugby players are taking some of the biggest hits without being fully geared out
Imagine manu tuilagi, SBW and Jacques burger on the same team😂😂😂

@Football Fan yes they do yous all wear gear and maasive helmets and rugby players would out strength any nfl player in the world
We don’t wear helmets, they are called headgear
We don’t get as many concussions because we don’t headbutt each other
its always been a scrum cap to me

They are helmets you clown... And pure utter padding. Would not last long with this boys.
@@Anglo-Brit the scrum just to make ears not being coloflowrr ears search it up
there's probably less concussion issues in Rugby due to the fact that we tackle correctly and don't lead with the head.
Reqa nope
Concussions are one of the most common things to get
Mostly true on the tackling, but concussions are fairly common. Got a few of those when I played rugby...good times.
Rugby players learn how to drop their shoulder when running and to catch and close the legs while driving forward when tackling. In American football it's just a joke how they throw themselves at each other like a catapult.
Ur only allowed 3 concussions the no rugby for a few years

Yea that’s hella tru
That "little helmet" is to protect your ears. Rugby tends to give you something called "Cauliflower Ears," that those stop it from happening.
Inversely, it's found that wearing a head cap to protect against concussions tends to lead to more concussions because players think it's more protective then it actually is.
In regards to injuries, if you're down and recieving treatment, sometimes you just play around the physio and the downed player.
Rugby is fucking hardcore!
Jake Gray I wore a helmet for 3 seasons got 6 concussions but yah boys ears are fine ahahaha
It is made for the people in the scrum. It gives the player no head protection
Cauliflower ears similar to other athletes in other contact sports e.g: wrestlers

I've gotten concussed but it's only U16
Snapped humerus and dislocated shoulder all in one tackle (Im a right wing and tackled a prop....badly obviously lol)
Concussion isn't as bad as NFL because they actually tackle with technique rather than relying on pads and helmet.
Those pads make it worse, and the concussion awareness is much better in Rugby
*Farrell has left the chat*

@Daniel Burke That's a lie and you know that. Even an NFL lineman weighing 300+lbs runs at a speed of 15mph+ on average. Let alone guys like Aaron Donald. Larry Allen NFL linesmen measured 6'3 325lbs aand ran the 40 yard dash in in 4.86 sec. How many shorter agile rugby players can run that fast. Imagine that force running at you at full speed(Rugby players never run full speed because of the nature of the game). American football is a series of sprints. In the early 1900s when there were no helmets and pads 15 people died every year playing American football back when players were 5'5 150 lbs workers. Even our White guys will destroy rugby players every day of the week and twice on sundays with or without pads(btw NFL players play tackle football without pads in training which is like rugby but harder). Sorry but rugby is a child's play next to American football. Football has way more concussions than rugby. No forward pass and shoulder charge were made to make the game softer to please the posh people who played the sport. Our football was always played by working class populace who were tougher.

Mac Shitstabber has nothing to do with how hard it is, your head rocks in a hard shell making it more likely you get a concussion. Besides that in nfl they don’t have the same tackling expertise as they do in rugby.

The most important rules to respect when you tackle someone in rugby are :
-you can only tackle the guy with the ball
-Don't tackle above the shoulders
-Don't tackle a guy while he is in the air
-Don't lift the guy you tackle
-hit someone with your elbow isn't a tackle and it's forbidden
-if someone is K.O. The match is immediately paused and the guy is evacuate (it's called Concussion Protocol)
Lots of those clips doesn't respect the rules...
Safe tackling is key and core to training. The modern game has seen a shift to bodychecking rather than leg tackling where skilled smaller players can stop bigger players
You can lift the guy just not past the horizontal
Depends ik the Aussie rugby's different
I'm a big rugby fan though I played for like 3 4 yrs
You can lift when you tackle but you have to follow the tackle through you can’t turn them upside down and then drop them on their neck
You also have to make an effort to tackle you can’t shoulder barge you have to at least appear to attempt to wrap your arms
“Like what are the rules of tackling”
Me: “there normal tackles”
Btw the actual rules are you have to be anywhere under the neck
And you have to try and use your arms
Not in america the refs call high tackels if you hit the chest at times
Wrong the actual rules bellybutton bellow
You will break ribs if it’s under neck
@@aidenbester8840 Well it's either that or crushing the windpipe. The aim for tackling is to go for the waist, but like with all contact sports, the heat of the moment doesn't allow you much leeway to adjust your tackle

Innit
U do realize American football is more dangerous. Y’all can’t even tackle someone in the air or above the shoulders. American football is more dangerous because they are able to tackle more ways. Y’all don’t hit head on either. It’s just way more reckless than rugby and that’s in the most un-biased way possible
Derek Caler / Don’t day you are being unbiased. Because your not, rugby is a much more dangerous sport, yes you can do more types of tackles but the padding is there to reduce the damage considerably. Rugby is more played around the world because it is a SPORT not a game (like American football).
There is a bit of the game where both teams lock their heads together and fight for the ball, this is much more dangerous than anything in American football, people break necks doing this. Concussion and injury is much more likely during rugby, it is a real sport, and much more dangerous.
You have no clue what you are on about, don’t defend your sport when you are factually wrong.
James Holloway ur dumb. Y’all don’t even get close to as many injuries as NFL players get. Do y’all tear acl’s before the season even starts? Didn’t think so. Rugby is tougher, but not more dangerous. Even a Rugby player said it himself in a TH-cam video that American football is more dangerous. Pads on a player are weapons. You guys don’t head hunt like NFL players do or get nearly as many concussions. Sit this one out kid
James Holloway a rugby player named James Haskell even said American football is more dangerous
When he asks if they are normal tackles. HELL YEAH !!
alot of them were actually quite delicate in comparison to some I've seen. Also yes concussions, whiplash, broken noses, broken jaws, lost or chipped teeth, broken wrists, dislocated shoulders. All very common injuries in rugby. Best sport ever

The one passing rule to remember is, YOU CANNOT PASS FORWARDS ONLY BACK.THAT IS WHY THEY RUN IN A DIAGONAL LINE ONE SLIGHTLY BEHIND THE OTHER. Makes it harder to get up field, you cannot just stand at your back line and lob it forward.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Tackle and blocking rules are different, smartass, how about you do research before talking? Both are far more free in football, which means far more concussions and injuries. If rugbiers were allowed to tackle like that without pads, deaths would start to be commonplace.
Perfectly normal in rugby
@@MrAlepedroza kids play American football with helmets and paddings🤣 Real men of steel play Rugby
Weak.
I’m from New Zealand where rugby is a big sport for us and one of my American friend said, and I quote “If American football players were to play against rugby players, American football players would definitely win because they’re stronger and better” and I’m like “tf. Rugby players don’t need anything to protect themselves and our tackles are pretty mad” 🤦♂️
Imagine if American football players didn’t wear helmets against rugby players they would die instantly
@@hpvrstuff3659 that’s what I’m sayin
For the tackling rule:
-the guy you tackle must have the ball or receiving it or just having passed it, you can't check people at random.
-you must "grab" with your arm, not go shoulder first.
-you must grab under the shoulder ( you can grab over the arm but torso level not neck level)
-you mustn't lift
You can counter tackle by bracing shoulder first or pushing with open palm on the chest/shoulder
Rémi Marchese you can lift as long as it doesn’t go over a certain point of vertical
You can lift, but when you put them down they cannot be rotated (cos they would land on their neck)
Also, if they jump you can't tackle them (off recieving kicks or high passes, etc. You need to wait for them to get down), but they can't jump into the tackle
You can lift as long as you do throw him down
In America,
We like to see the shoulder put into the ball carrier. That's the way it's supposed to be done. Otherwise it's an "arm-tackle" that's easy to break away from and ineffective.
You're supposed to lift and drive during a tackle.
It's OK to put your shoulder into someones chest or shoulder to hit them.
Everything I just said is shown in this highlight video, and it's the way Rugby should be played.
There's way too many red card violations in Rugby which have effeminized and demasculinized the sport, and the same politically-correct "safety" nonsense has affected the NFL resulting in reduced viewership and aggravating the players as well as the fans. And that was BEFORE Colin Kapernick and his nonsense.
If u wanna sell Rugby to Americans, it had better be rough and hard-hitting.
End. Of. Rant.
@@timmycrw91 Tackles can be perfectly good without any lifting at all, I would argue that the best tackles you will ever see do not lift the attacker up at all. The tackler's shoulder should be low and their arms have to wrap around at least a little for the tackle to be legal, otherwise the tackles will degenerate into the disorganised shtty tackles that you see in other sports such as nfl (although there will be bigger hits more often, there will also be a lot more missed tackles), which is why technique is so important.
In rugby, the aim of tackling is, at the end of the day, to brinng the other opponent down in the most efficient and consistent way possible, which is why the techniques taught at a young age are used, with minimal lifting. The only reason to use a lift in a tackle is if you want to discourage the opponents into running into you again (not literally, think getting big tackles first up as what i mean there), NOT to please the crowds or the americans
Him reacting like OMG and every rugby player be like ahhhh what’s so bad that’s normal 😂😂

99% of hits dont cause concussion .. I love how much you freak out over this .. most of these hits are very, very standard
True
Concussions aren't the problem. The protocols for dealing with concussions were the problem. So the rule changes in Rugby and American football were unnecessary, and, of course, always under the BS pretext of "safety". So here's the deal : If a player gets a concussion, they shouldn't practice or play til they're healed; no time limits. But if a player practices n plays before healing, they will get repeated concussions, and later in life may get CTE. So the concussion protocols needed to change, but not the rules of the games.
True that he is saying that these are extreme but they are just not
@@zackhopkins3938 It's extreme for Americans because many have never seen, let alone played, Rugby. They don't expect to see stuff like this without helmets and pads, so it comes as a shock to many.
isn't it the helmets that cause the concussion in NFL tho. i mean it's the brain hitting against the skull that causes it. the helmet is more so you don't crack your skull open.

Depends on the code of Rugby but rules basically no hits above the shoulder are allowed. You can't hit anyone when they're off the ground. You can't tackle in away that the feet go above the head. You must use you arms in a tackling technique so no ice hockey style checking. And in League, not sure about Union, you can't tackle in a way intended to manipulate a player's joints. Examples would be a chicken wing tackle or a cannonball tackle.
same in union about the joints rule
Michael Scott forward pass to g
I play under 12s rugby and the tackle line is the nipple line
As long as the ball carrier is running with the ball, the defenders can tackle the ball carrier in any way possible, as long as it's not above neck height.
If a ball carrier kicks/passes the ball right before the tackle, the tackler won't be penalized for making the tackle as that technique is called off-loading, and is done to give the ball to another runner right before one gets tackled so that the team can get extra meters.
So yes, the tackle off the kick at 1:40 is completely legal, and so is the tackle at 1:08.
The tackle at 1:08 is simply an example of moving up fast so your opponent doesn't have time to start running/accelerate.
In rugby, these hits are normal
A tackle is 100% legal as long as it's below neck height

The best way to describe Rugby is "Controlled Violence."
As in there are rules in the game, but unlike in the NFL, the play doesn't stop due to no forward passing.
Players do wear protective gear, it just usually consists of a groin box and gum shield.
The helmets they wear are more to protect their ears from damage aka Cauliflower Ears, rather than impact protection.
Also because the play doesn't stop as often as in a NFL game, players have to keep going despite being hurt from a tackle.

Same B team rugby
The tackles you see when the players where hit with out the ball are perfectly legal because the player had already committed to the tackle (committed to tackle is when they won’t be able to stop to avoid hitting the player that doesn’t have the ball)
from europe watching nfl : why do they have padding on? why is there a break every time someone hits the ground?
oh and thats no helmet thats a cloth headgear with protection for the ears that tend to be crushed in the melee
They have padding gear on because without them players will literally be dying..... Before there was pads, there was literally a bunch of deaths happening all the time in American football. That's why they was implemented.

Heres some rules of contact in a tackle:
1) ABSOLUTELY NO NO NO NO SPEAR TACKLES!! - a spear tackle is when you lift the offensive player up off the ground in the tackle and invert him before forcibly driving him into the ground. If you tip any player beyond the horizontal mark it is highly illegal and will mostly be punished with an instant red card (kicked off for the whole game) and may even result in investigations, suspensions, bans, and fines depending on the severity of the offense. This is due to the serious risk of the tackle which has in many cases caused severe head injuries and concussions, spinal damage, dislocations, broken bones in the shoulder or neck, and even death.
2) No "head-high" tackles - basically just no direct hits to anywhere above the shoulders (if the player with the ball deliberately ducks down low right as he goes into contact causing the defender to make an accidentally head-high tackle then there normally won't be a penalty awarded). This rule also only applies to defenders, while the player with the ball can "fend" which is when they stick out a stiff arm to block and fend off their defenders and in this case head high contact to the defender is allowed.
3) No shoulder charging - a defender has to wrap their arms around the player they're tackling (or at least make a decent effort to) and can't use their shoulder to make a concentrated initial contact on the offensive player with the ball. Sometimes a shoulder charge is combined with a head high hit (when a defender makes concentrated contact with the offensive players head using only their shoulder) and is a lethal blow which will be penalized similarly to spear tackling.
4) No tackling the player when he's in the air - if the player has to jump to catch a pass or a kick you can't hit him until he's in contact with the ground (if he jumps for no reason just before going into contact with a defender it's his own fault and it'll be his funeral)
5) No tackling the player if he doesn't have possession of the ball - if you tackle a player when he doesn't have the ball it's illegal (although normally if a player releases the ball in a pass right before being hit by a defender who's already head down and fully committed to the the tackle then he can get away with it but it varies a little bit with every referee so it's still a risk). So you can get away with it if the player has just barely released the ball, but you won't get away with it if he is just barely about to catch the ball. After releasing the ball gets a small bit of lenience, before receiving the ball gets none at all.
That's pretty much all I can think of as far as tackling rules go...then of course there's all of the rules of the ruck which would probly out-number the word count of a bible so I won't start on them. Lets just say there's a hang of a lot of rules!!

We have to get up because the play doesn’t stop for you
Rugby players are beast ...they can take a hit so dont comment something if you dont know anything of it
1. In tackling you have to tackle below the neck and you have to use you arms e.g you can’t just run in with you shoulder. But you youse your shoulder and arms in combination. Also you can’t tackle someone when they are in the air. You can only tackle or come into contact with someone who has the ball.
2. Rugby is a very popular game but there are many leagues that are on tv so some of the much lower league games are not as well supported.
3. Concussions are a problem in rugby but not as much as football, all of the rules on where can you tackle and when can you tackle them means there are much less, also the rules are very strictly enforced e.g. you would be given a red card and sent off for tackling someone whilst they were in the air.
4. Those helmets are called scrum caps. They don’t protect your head from concussions, there jobs is to protect your ears when in a scrum and prevent you from getting cauliflower ear, and to prevent your head from being cut.
Hope this helps you out. I can answer any other questions
And this HIA thing has really minimised serious aggravation of head injuries. A + in my eyes.
Just saying mate, but whatever rugby you play, you arent playing it right. You tackle with your shoulder, you can run in with your shoulder unless it's a maul
I do agree with all your statements tho 😂
Also when tackling if there is an element of lifting, then it's an illegal tackle (referred to as a dump tackle)

As with any sport how full the stadium is, is dependant on who is playing, what competition it is and what the level of the teams are. Unlike American Football, rugby is international, meaning more competitions in many countries with different rugby culture and different levels of popularity. For instance international matches and competitions draws the most, then inter-domestic competitions (such as Heineken Cup/Super Rugby), then Domestic Comps (Top 14/Mitre 10/Currie Cup) then grade rugby (University/U20/School Boy). All of those can draw full stadiums or empty stadiums depending on the country, team and comp where its being played
