An American football coach once said rugby was like American football for tough men, with the passing skill of basketball and the fighting of ice hockey
Soccer is a gentlemen's game played by ruffians, Rugby is a ruffians' game played by Gentlemen.
@@tillposera bit of Oscar Wilde. I almost wrote that too👍
@@tillposerRugby League is a ruffian's game played by ruffians.
@@joyfulzero853 well said mate.
Never heard that. Love it though...
saying there's no strategy to Rugby is like saying there's no creativity to Picasso because he didn't paint by numbers
American Football is paint by numbers - the players simply follow plays to the rule. In American Football, the players are chess pieces which are moved by their coaches. In rugby, the players are chess pieces that move themselves.
No guys, tries are _not_ easy to score. This compilation makes it look that way because they’re a selection of exceptional tries. Usually you have a solid wall of meat and bone between you and the try line, and you’re absolutely hammered before you get anywhere near it.
Yanks…..
Literally I played a whole season and only had 2 tries 😭😭😭
There is something insanely enjoyable seeing a huge bloke built like a brick outhouse in full flight at top speed! Awesome!
Just so you know, you cannot tackle someone without the ball, which is why you sometimes see people kick the ball forwards for themselves to run on to. Also, you are not allowed to prevent a player from being tackled (blocking) as that is classified as an obstruction and will result in a penalty.
The New Zealand player (who ran over the top of the other player) is a man called Jonah Lomu. Jonah was one of the greatest rugby players of all time, who unfortunately suffered from kidney issues all his life and sadly passed away in 2015 at the age of 40. His funeral was one of the most moving Haka tributes there's ever been and I highly recommend you give it a watch. Jonah Lomu was a phenomenal player and is sadly missed.
Lomu was the reaaon I got into rugby way way back when. A phenomenal player 😢
He was nowhere near the greatest player of all time. Great going forward, not good on defense. Never was. Wilson and Cullen were far better than him.
@@kingy002you would be one in 100 billion who would even think of saying that. Every professional and amateur rugby player from every country acknowledge Jonah as the GOAT
@@KekeHimona
Cullen - 46 tries from 58 internationals = 9th in the world for try scoring.
Wilson - 44 from 60 internationals = 13th in the world for try scoring
Lomu - 37 tries from 63 internationals = 18th in the world for try scoring
The facts speak for themselves. No need to get all upset. I said he was good going forward, it is just that he wasn't so great on defense. That's all.
@@kingy002 Not upset at all. Jonah was one of the GOATs of all time…and that’s also just a fact
I feel like most NFL fans would like rugby. I am just a casual viewer and don’t know all the rules but the important parts to remember are that you can run in any direction while holding the ball, you can kick it forward but can’t throw it forward, your players must remain behind the ball while involved in play, you can only tackle the player with the ball, no blocking is allowed like in NFL.
There is NO blocking in Rugby Union or Rugby League JPS.
Exactly! Interfering with a player who does not have the ball is not allowed.
@@michaelmedlinger6399excatly.
@michaelmedlinger6399 Americans cannot get their heads around this no blocking bit, And they don't understand NO timeouts because some HERO tackled somebody. Oh, attacking team is the same DEEfencive team on the field. I understand it's difficult to comprehend but, please forgive them for they are Americans after all. Amen.
@@wallywombat164 I know what you mean, but the ref does call time off on occasion.
Let's teach them about offside in rugby, shall we? Shouldn't take more than a few months! 😄 Seriously, though, I've been watching rugby for almost 30 years and I still have a hard time seeing offside. I really don't know how the refs keep tabs on who is onside and who is offside. I have great respect for the officials.
Rugby players do wear protection - it's called a gum shield🤣🤣
The context around some of these tries is why they’re considered the greatest. Look at the score board at 2:37. The reason that try made this list is because it’s the first time Japan have ever beaten South Africa, and it was during a World Cup in Japan. It was an incredible moment in rugby history.
If I didn’t know that, I might not think the try was impressive
Fastest growing sport in America apparently.
Because its a faster game with far less stoppages.
The New Zealand All Blacks featured in many of these tries are the single most successful sporting team in world history with a win record of around 80% over 120 years. Watch them do the Haka (Māori war dance) before any of their international matches! Gives you chills!
By the way - rugby does not have "rules", much less "guidelines"! The game is governed by LAWS!
So it has rules then
@@dylanprice5397 No - it has laws. 😉
@@michaelmedlinger6399To its detriment in some games..
Scrum resets again and again, continual stoppages of play.
2:26 Jonah Lomu was a legendary NZ rugby player. He was as big and powerful as a 10-tonne buffalo, so he could barge through the opposing players even when there were lots of them. It would be worthwhile reacting to a video about Jonah Lomu specifically (including his funeral)
I was watching that match against England when he just flat ran over the poor English player to score the try. World Cup 1995 in South Africa.
He had an insane sprinting speed. Never seen anything like him at his peak
We were blessed he played for cardiff blues 💙 🎉🎉🎉
RIP. He was amazing
His funeral was sooo moving; such was the nation’s respect for him. The Haka performed as a final farewell tribute was truly emotional. ❤️
The laws regarding tackling have changed, today any tackle above the shoulder line is deemed dangerous, and will result in a yellow or red card, depending if there are any mitigating circumstances.
NFL - classical music. Highly structured. Everything in it's place, a place for everything.
Rugby - freeform jazz. Highly improvised. Seemingly wild, reckless abandon.
10:26 - I was at that match. Still have the ticket stub.
Lomu was such fun to watch. For such a big guy he was fast and could turn on a sixpence. I'm Scottish and we were outclassed by the All Blacks but you always knew it would be a good game. The passion of the Scots, the talent of NZ and big Lomu going through us like a train. 😆
Amused you recognised Scotland against England, but none of the Welsh sides. Rugby is our national sport. Check out some footage of 70s Welsh games. Bit more brutal in those days - and Amateur as well. Check out our Welsh winger, Louis Rees Zammit. He's got some speed! Enjoyed watching. You missed the Rugby World Cup, played recently. South Africa won it.
Mon the Welsh 🫡🏴
George North was my hero growing up
As a Scot I have to agree. the 70's were the best with JJ, JPR Phil Bennet et al.
Scotland versus England rugby is the oldest international contest in any sport of all time… It's almost 130 years old now.
Two games of Round 1 of the NRL (Rugby League) will be played in Las Vegas on Saturday 2nd March 2024 and will be shown live on Fox Sports 1 across America, South Sydney Rabbitohs will play Manly Sea Eagles, and Brisbane Broncos will play Sydney Roosters.
The remaining games of Round 1 will be played the following weekend in Australia.
It is a BIG promotion for Americans to watch and follow the NRL.
No helmets, No pads!
There is probably a whole highlight reel (best tries of) Jonah Lomu, there are several Jonah runs over someone tries
You’d be surprised at how much strategy and set piece plays there are.
you should watch some highlights from the rugby World Cup it finished like a week ago
American “Football” wouldn’t stand a chance against these lads
Highly highly recommend Sports Explained’s Rugby Explained for American Football fans (and his two Cricket ones too). You’re missing a lot of context of how the game is played and viewing through a football lens, it’s a great enjoyable video for a reaction either way 😁
The Wales 🏴 try 🏉 at 11:07 👌🏻
That’s one of the greatest for sure! Usually voted as THE best as it goes.
A slightly different code - but Rugby League is similar and the State of Origin is a massive competition in Australia which gets very heated between the two Rugby League states - NSW and QLD which is similar to Michigan/Ohio except theyre all professional players who play in the same league and sometimes in the same team against one another who get into massive fights. This is rugby union, which is a more gentlemanly sport.
One thing to know if you're new to this great sport- kick forwards, pass backwards.
Organised Chaos is usually a good way to describe it
Watch Jonah Lomu's funeral and the haka - usually done as a war dance before a match but also can be a sign of great respect - phenominal and very moving
There are plenty of low score games, you have to understand how the scoring works to see how low things realy are.
The best Rugby comentry was years back about the French team it vas unish fortunate when "Condom gets right in there" yep that was a players name, OMG i'm such a kid.
I remember Jean Condom playing second row for france back in the 80s.
It always wise to back NZ when they play - for decades they (called the all blacks) have been a dominant force in rugby.
Love that game .❤❤
Have to love the great Jonah Lomu. RIP Jonah. ❤
A bit of history. Rugby and Rugby league were both played in the US only neither code really caught on. However American football emerged by mixing the two codes together and adding some new rules
Burning the candles JPS? You looked like you were going to drift off!!
Some of those are great tries because of the situation rather than the technical skill of the try. For example the one at 2:33 was in the world cup and Japan, which is a tier 2 nation in rugby, beat South Africa who are one of the best
Rugby 80 minutes long divided into 40 minute halves. Gridiron the numbers on how much live action takes place during an NFL game (3hrs) varies, but it is generally between 15 and 20 minutes, with 18 viewed as the average. On average, rugby union players cover around 6 miles per game. On average, Gridiron players only run around 1 mile per game and they only actually played for an average of 11 minutes whilst rugby players play for a full 80 minutes. When a rugby player is tackled, the ball must be released, making it live and available for both teams to play. Whenever a player is tackled in Gridiron, the play is over, and time is given to call/run another play.
I would love to see American footballers against rugby players 😂
They wouldn't last 15mins.
They would be gassed after 10....throwing up at 15
Love rugby and the women’s is really good xx
Best game ever, as intricate as chess, but with more moves - I’m biased, of course.
The Rugby World Cup has just finished about a week ago. Maybe you can react to that.
Point of order… You're not allowed to block people in rugby. The reason why a lot of these tries on grape is because you have to get up off the floor and get caught up with the play to be available to be passed Two while the opposition is still lying on the ground 40 yards back
A lot of the tries shown were not necessarily the greatest, but when you take into account the match itself and the importance of the try, they become memorable (for example, Japan getting the game winning try against South Africa).
I would like to see your reaction to the Haka - its a short war dance that these Southern hemisphere islands do (like Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, etc) before the game. Just a 2 minuite warm-up but really sets the mood.
It's amazing. Always love watching the Haka.
A three score game would be 21 points in American football (assuming PATs) so soccer isn’t necessarily that low scoring, it can feel so because a tie is more common and you only get one point every time you score
The tactics, game plan, in simple terms is, your big guys are usually strong but slower, forwards. They can use their weight and strength to push the ball over the score line. The backs are usually smaller but faster, mobile so they use their speed and maneuverability to run in trys.
The trick is to attempt a miss match so you have a fast guy, back, running around a slower forward or forwards taking down the fast players and freeing their own backs.
For me Jonah Lumo was and will always be the greatest
Just before the scotland england game was wales and england. An even greater rivalry
Can't tackle above the neck.... an old dentist of mine from the valleys 🏴 actually broke his neck chasing the egg 🏉 as a young man. Another bad injury I witnessed was a dislocated hip being relocated and trapping a testicle. Never heard howls of pain like it 😬🙈🙉
Holy hell the speed of that guy at around 2:00
Christian Cullen, aka The Paekakariki Express, there is a whole video on here of him, was a sight to behold when in full flight.
The small country of Wales were once the best rugby team in the world.
But mostly it has been the small country of New Zealand that has dominated, although most recently it has been South Africa.
England and France have also had their share of the limelight.
More non - English speaking countries are competing in Rugby, such as Chile, Portugal, and Romania.
Yet, the tiny Pacific islands of Fiji, and Samoa, are punching well above their weight.
These guys are big but have speed and fast footwork. I love this sport. You should try watching some of the Rugby 7s games. They are played at olympics etc now.
When Fiji won the Gold in the olympics the goverment made a $7 dollar note. Still legal tender
There are very strict rules on how and when you can tackle but mostly regarding technique as in safety
Look up the Greatest Try Barbarians v New Zealand 1973. I'm old enough to remember this on the telly as a kid, a wonderful game of rugby.
A sport played by Gentlemen that used to Gaffa tape their ears to their head in a hope they would still be there 80 minutes later. Best sport ever, except for Irish Hurling of course (it's the only kind).
So much to say about this wonderful game, especially in the excitement following the World Cup that has just finished (although -😢 - the All Blacks didn‘t win)! It is well worth watching. Playing? Do you enjoy having a torso that is a solid mass of bruises? 😂
Touch Rugby is an option to start.
It doesn't hurt whilst you are playing so much, it's the next two days or so that hurt. But what the hell, by the time the next weekend comes you can't wait to do it again.
Great to see the US represented with the Ngenwya try!
These tries are not necessarily "Greatest" because oh the skill and athleticism displayed. Some of them are here because of their place in the history of the sport.
2:28 possibly the most outrageous moment in rugby history possibly, japan knock south africa out in the red (games over, plays till ball is out.) South africa sit around 1-3 in the world rugby rankings at all time japan ranked 13th. in rugby only the top 4 teams really compete you wont see much upset. which makes this moment incredible
The world Cup was disappointing again from the northern hemisphere.
A low rated England team was the best we could muster up.
The only team to make the semi finals.
We French also frustrated that we lost and were kicked out in the Quarter Finals.’plus We hosted that Tournament
The composition of the pools was a disaster! How could they put the 4 strongest teams into the two pools that would play each other in the quarterfinals? Either France or Ireland would have easily made it to the final if they had not had to face NZ and SA in the quarterfinals, while MUCH weaker teams went on through to the semis.
At the time the draw was created those werent the 4 strongest teams. also its done by random draw. are you suggesting its fairer for stronger teams to get easy paths to the finals?@@michaelmedlinger6399
@@michaelmedlinger6399Couldn’t agree more with you. The Pools was awful. The 4 strongest 🇿🇦🇳🇿🇮🇪🇲🇫 was put Group A and B. My French team could have made to the Final. Even the Irish.
I’m not surprised if Argentina made to the Semi final. They were in the luvky Pools C and D
@@michaelmedlinger6399 it was done on older rankings apparently.
Either way, to win it you have beat the best to win it.
In the End, rugby's two best nations reached the final, so I suppose they got it right in that way.
The All Blacks are the greatest rugby team in the world and have one of the most winningist records not only in rugby but in world sport. Their greatest foes are South Africa, big brutes, Australian is the Team the All Blacks love to beat the most and France is loved because they have a similar way of playing to the All blacks, open expansive running. England is the most hated team in world rugby because they only win if they have a good goal kicker, Wales are the loved by many because of the greats in their past.
You really really need to watch all the great tries by 🏴 Wales. We actually invented the game and in the 70s were unstoppable we won the Triple Triple Crown and were on top of the world. At that time it was mainly Wales England Ireland and Scotland that were against each other. If you beat all other Countries you then got the triple Crown if you were bottom you get the Wooden Spoon
Unfortunately, most of these superb players are either dead or very old but boy did they play great. JPR was actually a Doctor lol No helmets gum shields pads for knees or elbows etc just top shorts and off to go
Interestingly Princess Anne the late Queens only daughter, her daughter Zara is married to and has family with a English Rugby player. Must be interesting at family dos with Prince William being the Prince of Wales and his father the Prince of Wales before that 😂😂😂😂. You really should watch the games that got us the triple triple Crown. Magnificent!!!!! Oh of course I’m from Wales 😂😂😂😂
first time iv'e seen Americans not sitting mouth wide open at the fact no players are wearing padding
Watch rugbys biggest hits. Some tackles hit as hard as a 30mph car crash😂
Guys, it's not all improvisation. Rugby also involves set piece plays. And keep in mind that in Rugby, you can only tackle the ball carrier, and cannot deliberately obstruct defensive players (deviate from your 'line' to prevent defence from tackling). For a video on set piece trys: th-cam.com/video/ILLcrpYQ3Kc/w-d-xo.html
Rugby boys are tough as nails padding that's for babies
boys 99% in rugby moves and tactics are trained and repeated every training session just like your AFL moves. What might sometimes look like passes left right all over the place is actually what they train. choreographed if you like. At professional level all runs and moves or combinations of kicks and passes are trained to the level that you just know where your mate suppose to be which ever way you go. You can see that with a lot of passes that reach no one - because your team mate is just not in his position - when you watch grass roots rugby or the lower provincial leagues. The chaos is mostly down to situations like intercepts where both teams suddenly change direction and the forwards and backs are all mixed up or someone misses a pass and the whole herd turns again. when you start watching grass roots and work your way up through the different leagues to the top pros then you see how the choreography slowly becomes something like a well oil Swiss clockwork.
But for American football fans it just looks like chaos all together. It's pretty much what your sport would look like without stopping for every tackle to have some commercials running over the home screens and having Taylor jumping up and down in the corporate box on national TV. If your are just after knocking your opponent of his feet -neck breaker or not - then you need helmets and pads to just do that. pretty sad actually, now that I'm thinking about.
I highly recommend a brilliant film aka movie lol, called 'The Grand Slam'...about a group of Welsh fellas who travel to Paris in 1978 to watch Wales v France for the 5 nations championship......and the adventures they have...its hilarious. its one of the best films to come out of Wales....during a time when Wales had the greatest team on earth...the golden age of Welsh rugby!
Its on youtube...its a masterpiece. Only about an hour long
Watch some old soccer hooligan videos aka football hooligans from back in the 80s that will shock you to how violently passionate football ment for the fans
You should also check out some of the women's rugby games
Also womens AFL
High tackle (neck area, is an illegal rugby move, resulting in the player being sent off.
I love rugby 🏉 rugby men are tough don't have much padding like your American football does think they should all wear head pads though most only mouth guards but I do think the American football players look hot well done are x
Hi lovely Lads.🏴
JPS I know this has nothing to do with this clip but I need to hear your opinion on George Michael singing a tribute to Freddie Mercury doing your favourite song Somebody to Love...🤞
Please do a reaction video to “super league biggest hits” that is a English rugby league divison and some amazing tackles and defence
yo! you guys need to review beard meats food from leeds uk.... eat it..enjoy!!!!
Respect 🇳🇿 new zealand
to get the full context yo need to watch the whole match. Look at some of the quarters, semis or the final from the last world cup
Nah i felt as an 4 time world champion country that was kinda harsh saying its inprove and that its easy to score alot players work y3ars to beat one country like SOUTH AFRICA just saying its easy to score is like say its to play two football games back too back without any stops or breaks😢😅
Only countries with something akin to the NHS can really take to rugby!
I'd love to know what the criteria is for being one of the greatest rugby tries. I've seen hundreds that I'd consider equally as good as these. The try that includes Simon Zebo's heel flick is tops for me but never makes these compilations.
reaction video for the final of the recent Rugby world Cup 2023
You should react to Rugby explained for american football fans by Sports Explained. Highly recommend. Please and thank you 😊
Watch Jonah Lomu highlights you won't regret it!
A few nice ones...
Tackling can only be done from waist down, if u tackle high, you could be punished and get a yellow/red card.
Tackling somebody's neck is a big no no, automatic red card.
You can wrap someone up around the torso, but anything above the shoulder is, as you say, a huge no-no.
Where's Arturo? Surely not banned for saying the F-word.... Is he Joel?
No tackles above the waist, neck is a red card
A great player? Yes. One of the greatest? Nope. He was just a giant.
I love rugby beats football every time
Americans wake up😂😘✌️
Your not allowed to tackle above the shoulders
das why you let the ground take their head, the ground doesn't get a red card
Has Stefan watched women's rugby.
Check dan carter
Wait until they watch the woman's rugby.
You should show him some cricket Joel
Only 1 play of South Africa it's a shame there's way better plays out there..
Jps is gorgeous ❤
