Rugby is the best thing that ever happened to me and my life!!Made so many friends and helped to get me over a serious problem!
Me too bro me too
Same man. I am from India and I got introduced to it by the Rugby 08 video game. I am amongst the handful of Indians who watch the sport and every world cup I watch it alone and scream at my tv screen all by myself. Thankfully, this time I managed to convince 3 of my friends to follow the world cup and guess what, they are hooked now.
Whos here waiting for tokyo 2019

To who it may concern,
First of all, I'm trying to be more polite as I can because I'm trying to use this to direct a message to the World Rugby. I live in Brazil and we are over 200 million people very passionate about sports, as you can see by soccer. However unfortunately not the same about Rugby yet. So I'm here to make an appeal to you guys from the World Rugby to help people to know Rugby in Brazil and get in love for this amazing sport. What i'm here to ask in simple, could you try add some subtitles in Portuguese to some of your videos, doesn't need to be all of them just a few such as the opening ceremony would be great to start and it will make everyone knows more about rugby
kind regards
Very polite
Victor Gerheim football*
they call it soccer
wow you very polite
u dont have a brazilian name?
Best mistake in history

So the next rugby World Cup will mark 200 years of rugby

Qui est là grâce à son ou sa prof d'anglais ? (For English people watching this comment, here is my official translation : Who is there thanks to your english teacher ?)
Who is here after Japan 2019
I was in the stadium watching this video it gave me goosebumps! In the context of the whole atmosphere etc. One of the best moments of my life. To all the guys who said the opening ceremony was average or worse, it definitely was a case of you had to actually be there!
why is there black people if this is 19th century england
because - shock horror - this isn't a video of what happened its an imagining which is inclusive to encourage more diversity in those viewing.
Because times have changed and Black people have the same rights as white people now.This isn't the 19th century anymore it's the 21st!
The black man is Serge Betsen, who played in the french national team for 10 years, and for the wasps at the end of his career. Nevertheless, I did not recognize the others...
+God of War And yet the video is clearly set in the 19th century so the question stands.
+God of War Yeah.... but it's set in the 19th Century....
LOL was that Clive Woodward throwing his hat down?
love how they put the "I vow to thee my country" and the Rugby World cup anthem together. From what I recall, the two anthems are both played to the exact tune.
Prince Harry & Johnny Wilkinson are cameo groundsmen
Prince Harry been a gardener tho hahaha 😂😂😂 and say this will never catch on omg hahah
+Katryn Stewart Was that Gerard Butler as the other one?
+SchwarzeWitwe2 yea it's was
+QU3STION5 very true
Jonny Wilkinson
katryn stewart because he is English and it was the opener for the world rugby cup in England and absolutely Johnny Wilson was near him to English famous people because Johnny plays for England so that is why he is famous and prince Harry too is famous but does not play
When the owner of the ball gets pissed off but everyone else still wants to play

Did I just see Asa Butterfield?
so there was a black guy in the first 1823 rugby game?
This isn't a documentary you know.
Cause it's an Advertisement you Mong
That's Pelē
Did anyone spot all the former international players in the crowd on the pitch side?
That was Clive Woodward the guy throwing his hat down
Yup
This year's 2023 Rugby World Cup in France marks the bicentennial (200 Year Anniversary) of the 'invention' of the sport itself of 'Rugby Union', that it is STILL today by the once young 'William Webb Ellis'!
HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT?!
🏉
Webb ellis was the real inventor of rugby union but his sport was overshadowed by rugby league 72 years later.
@@MisterPolitical1 AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA rugby league? What's that?
@No Name rugby league is a breakaway rugby football code formed in 1895.

Rugby union is among my favorite sports.
It's among my favorites because I liked the tackles while trying to score points, 2019 was the first time I got much involved in rugby union 🏉, in India once in 4 years rugby is telecasted (only during men's Rugby union World Cup). Lots of memories created in 2019 World Cup for me.
Love from India 🇮🇳
Keep watching my friend Rugby is for the world to enjoy and one day India can have their own team and compete
Really well rounded video using a little history and advancing through time to the modern era in a beautifully striking display to really inspire rugby fans and flame their passion of the sport. The only thing I would've liked to have seen added is the ball returning to Earth transforming into the modern Gilbert ball. Other than that this is one awesome video.
Played rugby from the age of 5 up until my late 20s and even had a few games in my 30s I’m 35 now but I’m glad I got to experience the greatest team sport in the world.. so many memories wins and loses emotional times and very happy times so many bonds created with friends playing rugby
What a great sport this is, Love RU from India ❤️
Same man. I am also from Kolkata, India and I got introduced to it by the Rugby 08 video game. I am amongst the handful of Indians who watch the sport and every world cup I watch it alone and scream at my tv screen all by myself. Thankfully, this time I managed to convince 3 of my friends to follow the world cup and guess what, they are hooked now. This is the best sport and I have no problem saying it albeit I am a massive football fan (Mohun Bagan).
Remind me why Harry wasn't cast as Lady Chatterley's Lover?

@@sophiedavis1406 better late than never :)
I'm from Mallorca but I did a trip to Coventry a few years ago, and going to visit Rugby was a must do. I had to be in the place where rugby was born by all means.
It was worth it!
Ps: you still living next to Rugby?

@@maxosiatynski9987 haha how is it then?
"Don't worry Jonny that will never take off" 😂😂😂
Lol
*Asa Butterfield*
I still remember watching Samoa vs Japan and France vc Canada in Milton Keynes and I don't think much will ever top that, especially with my mate performing before one of the games with his band. What a time to have seen it
2019 rugby world cup japan just beat scotland
Yeetwch y Baban and japan just lost to the springboks 😂
@@ayo76600 and wales are gonna beat the springboks
Ooooo bold claims
UGH IM SCOTTISH DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT MATCH
This is just beautiful, il look back on this in fifty years and have a tear saved for that moment, when realised I was lucky to play the greatest sport in the world 🏴🌹🏉
Incredible story!!!!!! Rugby our game is too !!! Best wishes from Georgia!
Johnny Wilkinson sees someone refusing to kick and instead runs with the ball “what’s he doing?” 😂
Underrated comment 🤣🤣
He's has a cameo role being a groundsman
It's back again 8 September 2023.
Not bad,but without Hugo Porta this intro is deeply flawed.
Gracias por recordar al GRAN Hugo Porta.
The video is sensationnal ! And I also love the music : what is the title of it ?
Thanks
+bibiche7717 It's the Rugby World Cup them called "World In Union"
+cariadaberboy Thank you ! :)
+cariadaberboy I Vow to Thee My Country
+rob poynter it's a section of 'Jupiter' from 'The Planet Suite' - Gustav Holst.
True. But I think most people would know it from 'I vow...'
Who’s now waiting for France 2023
-only just realises Asa Butterfield was at my school-
Nice of those Toffs at Rugby school to allow their black servants to play and stand on the touchline.
For all of you complaining about the historical inaccuracies due the fact that there are black people in this video, speaking as on of the black actors featured in this video, if you were really annoyed about the historical inaccuracies then you would all be complaining about the fact that William Web Ellis has been portrayed as a member of School House where as original he was a day pupil, a member of Town House; so don't pretend like you really care about the historical accuracy of this video by complaining about how many black people are in this video and how political correctness is ruin history just to cover up you're racist complaints. Thank you.
P.S. I am a member of rugby and I enjoyed filming every second of it :)
+Babacar Ndoye get in there babs
I know you make a film on the history of rugby and what do people have to bring up the fact there were black people in the video honestly you'd think we haven't evolved at all in the last 200 years
+Babacar Ndoye
Well I did not know that William Web Ellis was a member of School House. Thanks for telling us; so now we have two historical inaccuracies. But in any case, some inaccuracies are far more noticeable than others. Because there WERE NO BLACK CHILDREN IN BRITISH SCHOOLS IN 1823. Besides, think about it; even if there was (and especially if there was) we ought to be taught or shown by the folks who made this film a bit about him - for example, who he was, what he studied, and what happened to him when he grew up... Just so that we can be sure that he wasn't thrown in to propagate a ridiculous, revised understanding of British history to convey a mendacious, and frankly pathetic idea of how tolerant and diverse our country has always been. And given how little information there is about him - honestly I haven't seen anybody on this comments section give his name - it's obvious that he was picked for the latter reason.
True and moreso the whole story is proven myth by the time Web Ellis was in the school rugby was already a sport. He was not the first person to pick up the ball. It is a good story though.
was it actually at rugby school?
Is the captain the kid from the boy in the striped pyjamas
Goosebumps ❤️
jerusalem should be our national anthem
+Frank Roberts Indeed, though the song played at the start was 'I vow to thee, my country'. At certain parts they sound similar.
+BRob 2015 I vow to thee my country and Jerusalem are good choices.
Frank Roberts IT IS NOW
Jerusalem wouldn't make sense being England's national anthem. I vow to Thee should.
KingEdwards the problem with I vow to thee is that it is the music of world in union which is the official RWC song
Hey! Black kids went to Rugby Public School in 1823. I didn't know that! Or is this history re-written for the sake of over-zealous political correctness?
+Ray Tate And Prince Harry doing manual labour, oh the humanity for the inaccuracies in this video
+Ray Tate I think the producers may have received some advice from Departments P or B of the BBC.
+Ray Tate this country has gone cookoo! suicidal political correctness runs deep in our populations veins its only right we go out of the world cup nice and early!
+The ToyCave Yes, given the current political situation you have to wonder whether allowing anybody (in any context) to rewrite history is a good idea. The dogma of over-zealous political correctness seems to be leading us towards cultural and political catastrophe. As for the rugby, like all professional sports it has become saturated with pointless spin because spin generates more money for the people at the top of the game. Ho hum...
Honestly who cares it's a history of rugby not bloody prejudice
Who's here after Tokyo 2019
☝️
One of many sports that were developed in the UK in fact there is no doubt this is the home of modern sports , the country that first put sports into the schools curicculam .
a black kid in a rugby team in 1823? yeah thats BS lmao
Anyone else see that guys mustache all messed up at 1:33 ?
Ian McGeechan grew a moustache especially for this (no he didn't).
William Web Ellis being portrayed as a school house member! No, no, no. What were they thinking? He was a day pupil.
Soccer naturally leads to Rugby. I used to be goalkeeper at my school in Switzerland and one day felt the desire to run across the field with the ball still in my hands. Of course, the opposite team players started to do the same. Ever since Rugby became part of the curriculum and I like to believe there is now a Rugby Union Club in my old town ;)
I have a feeling that you’re lying
lol at the casual black people in Victorian era England. Not in anyway racist but that's a bit rich.
+Ty bot Serge Besten cameo.
*****
I'm not English.
If you haven't noticed, all those extras are former or current rugby players. The whole thing is just meant to be a laugh. Even this story of the origins of rugby is just a myth
Henry Nnajiuba
Yea I know but it's still funny.
It's not a historical documentary, relax man, be happy, your white.
Rugby Union is better than association football aka ⚽️ to watch.
Rugby is played with hart and soul Football played for money and no hart
@Shaun 30-3 it's heart but soccer = greed
Love how he passes it to ghosts of a distant past legends.
Haha Prince Harry
What an average opening ceremony. Was expecting more of a spectacle. NZ's was much more better. This pales in comparison..
lol thats what i thought...still ok tho but yeah not a memorable openning
+luchiboy To be honest, I hate all the pomp and ceremony, I don't think it has a place in Rugby.
I don't like the pomp either! but the English are classy we paint a picture with words, don't need over sell just facts and a cuppa ;)
Clark Randall True words.
Do you realize how much time and effort this takes to make? I was at the opening ceremony, and the first part itself took a whole day's filming and frustration. For all the 150 people who were there.
How one of the worlds greatest sports started from a bunch of school kids playing 30 a side football.. 😂😂😂
Lol
Is that Bruno from The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas as the captain?
日本とのセンスの差を感じる
Britain created it. New Zealand perfected it.
Asa Butterfield?
still get goosebumps watching this
lmao Asa Butterfield? is that you, m8?
No one knows at this time that an incredibly hot tournament will be held in an Asian island country four years later, overturning the common wisdom of the world. That Asian island country is ... "Japan" Japanese just by recognizing that it is at the forefront of technology. I didn't know the people
"Holding in Asia? It will fail" "I know Japan is a great country, but the rugby culture may not have matured enough to hold the Rugby World Cup" ... The first holding in Asia and the host country where such voices are heard here and there Japan ... I didn't know the world yet ... The Japanese said, "The Rugby World Cup is being held in Japan!" "Top players from all over the world are coming!" "If so, let's get ready and welcome!" And Kitakyushu City Then, at the time of the first practice of the Welsh national team, "Let's sing the Welsh national anthem!" "Let's gather volunteers at the Kitakyushu stadium and sing!"
And even if 15,000 citizens gather at Kitakyushu Stadium on the day of the first practice and the plan to sing the Wales national anthem has begun ... And it "overturns the common sense of the world" "The common sense of Japan is the insane of the world" "It must be in Japan What you can't do ”... Nobody knows yet
wow better than rugby leabgue
The bokke won 🇿🇦let go
Johnny Wilkinson...
Who is here just for ASA?
Meeeeeeeeee
Does anybody know what that song is at beginning
I vow to thee my country
1:04 stop the cap!
Harry took a lowly part in the video. That’s our humble Prince!
I can’t...
😦
They play rugby with pants :(
Perhaps mention the host country and founder of Rugby in the video ? its ENGLAND. I get the feeling the woke brigade got their tentacles into the opening ceremony. Reigned in the patriotism.
That's the guy from that show on Netflix
Dressed up I saw Bill Baumont, Will Greenwood, Jason Leonard, Ian McGeekan, Serge Betson (I don't recognize who was beside Betson), Clive Woodward, and of course Wilkonson and Prince Harry.
Wasn't Magne next to Betson? Also I think that's Maggie Alphonsi next to Sir Clive.
Otis?!
Brilliant intro but the players should have been running through the grounds rather than parts of the town/city, just my opinion though
Good Luck to South Africa, wish all the best boys
Japan 34-32 South Africa 😂
+Oliver McCall (wingding341) that's b*******
+Long Leather Coat Haha 😂
+Oliver McCall (wingding341) I couldn't believe that the Springboks lost to Japan oh well hope Japan makes it to the knockout stages and it's coming from an All Black fans

go prince Harry
I am excited for this!! :) This and American Football :)
A tribute to the 1800s lads in the Rugby schools and the 1300s towns mob in folk football.
My favourite opening to this day.
Gareth Edwards for Wales! What a legend.
He was the welsh barbarian that scored a try against all blacks at Cardiff Arms Park 50 years ago.
He was Wales best #9 pre 1996.
@@MisterPolitical1 What a game that was !
@@MisterPolitical1 LEGEND!
I'm here just for my baby asa Butterfield💜
That was a progressive school. They had African people even back then.
Rugby is more popular and suitable than American football.
Seriously
Prince Harry is a Gardner in this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice hat Asa dude
Asa !!!!!!!!!
Asa Butterfield! :)
Does anyone know whether the captain's speech contains any elements of historical truth ?
There's Prince Harry ! :D
Here in new Zealand we call this the game they play in heaven...

funny how they use the all blacks as the defense getting stepped all thru the video....truth is all blacks gone smash england at their own hosting hahah,the opening and the haka macarena is all mind games but NZ will be laughing at you when we hold up the cup....the english not the humbliest are they
+frei reeder that wasn't the all blacks that was ghosts of players past you plum
Are you colour blind? They were ghosts of other players!
+Oliver McCall (wingding341) rightttt and they jus happened to be wearn black jersies with white collars....then made a macarena dance to humiliate the maori of nz and called it hakarena....no you guys are humble alright,but we see who comes out on top
+Danny Wilson its all mind games man cmon,the hakarena whats that all about? dont tell me its ghosts taunting the all blacks
Whereas your comment drips with humility.
