    The player you were asking about is Timoci Tavatavanawai. He's from Fiji and plays for Moana Pasifika in the Super Rugby Pacific competition that features the best teams from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa (including players from Tonga). In the 2022 season he lead the competition stats in defenders beaten: 73 in 8 games.

    The skull caps offer little to no protection from collisions its mainly so you dont get cauliflower ears

      I always write head gear as an adult. Over ten years of playing it probably saved me from a couple of concussions but maybe also a dozen cuts from head on head collisions.

    Half of these would be red cards in today's rules. Much rather prefer to see big legal hits. But nice to see an American appreciating rugby!

    Tackle Head down and to the side of the body is how rugby players are taught to tackle, it is to protect you

  • @hankgoldenshaft

    Helmets just increase head collisions, it’s like a false sense of security. I’m a rugby player, and when I watch the NFL every hit has the sounds of helmets colliding, it’s nuts. I would love to play a game of American football though. It’s gotta be fun hitting someone wearing all those pads, with the understanding that runner isn’t going to pass the ball (like rugby). You must be able to just line him up and smash-em. Brutal.

    That was a good reaction, Rugby League isn't just about the big hits there is also a lot of skill. Can you do a reaction to Shaun Johnson The Lightning Footwork Warriors he plays NRL and is known for his side stepping (jukes) he played for the New Zealand team the Warriors here is a link th-cam.com/video/o9d_d_FbKGU/w-d-xo.html you will like this as he is also a playmaker and kicker, has the highest points for New Zealand in international games and also Warriors highest point scorer, enjoy.

    In rugby its tackling is totally different. Because rugby is a sport for all shapes, you are taught to go down low to try and stop your opponent the first time. Rugby players alao generally think about getting hurt, they just go in. Its a great sport

    4:38 that's what happens if you keep your head up and in the wrong place in rugby union or rugby league.
    Nfl is a totally different sport when tackling and because of how the game is played the different types of tackling techniques required given the different types of tackling opportunities. Rugby you have to put your head down but positioned on either side of the attacking player because after all most rugby tackles are predominantly made head on and obviously without any helmet or protection gear.
    If you where to keep your head up when executing a front on tackling in rugby you'd be more inclined to do yourself a neck/spinal injury.8:17 great example of how a head on tackle should be made.

    8:16 Illegal. Leading with the shoulder is a dangerous cleanout at the ruck. A clear yellow card minimum. Direct contact to th ahead is often a Red

    I played rugby all through high school. I've got two shoulders that dislocate on a regular basis to this day. Nothing feels better than putting a big hit on someone. The general rule is the harder you go the less you get hurt. Yes us Aussies are crazy 🤣 The Rugby union fellas are even crazier!

    Incroyables le nombre de chaines d'Americains ou de joueurs de football americain, qui commencent à s'intéresser au rugby... Ça n'était pas concevable avant.. Je trouve ça génial... Mais vous ne pouvez pas comprendre le rugby, tant quand vous n'aurez pas posé vos fesses sur des gradins..... Venez à Toulouse ou assister à un match de coupe du Monde...
    Le HAKA, ça fait frissonner même les adversaires et tout le public... C'est à vivre au moins une fois.. Les Hakas des Équipes féminines est peut-être encore plus impressionnants, on les croirait possédées et elles le sont sur le terrain en plus.. Je préfère le Haka Samoan pour ma part : je le trouve plus étrange. Peut-être parce que j'ai plus vu celui des blacks.

    You should look into Rugby 7s too. It's tournament play. Multiple matches a day and more spread out and faster pace. It's 7v7 for 2 7 minutes halves a game. It's also what you see in the Olympics. Usa had the 2 fastest players to play Carlin isles is probably faster than tyreek hill and perry baker

    At 9:02 number 2 in the pink is the Tongan Thor. You say that the other guy isn't a wall, but he won: the bump was enough to cause Taniela Tupou to put his foot on the touch line, which is out. The black team now get the ball.
