Tough sport, but what a spirit!!! Look at 1:45. After the tackle, a mate of the other team checks on the player and put him in recovery position right away.
Oh man, I still remember my last day of competitive rugby. Tried to tackle a 120+ youth national team guy (I was around 90 at the time). Almost static, aiming quite low, but the last things I remember is a blue sky and a free falling sensation :) Hit the field badly with the back of the head, blacked out for a few seconds, got substituted with an injury. Probably got a concussion, as it was really hard to focus on things like reading or computer for almost a month after. At the time, I just started to work as a junior researcher and decided to call it a day :) I just do not want to know how those hits feel :)
Rugby is not nearly as rough or tough as Australian Rules Football. They wouldn't be able to play 4 quarters of full contact football on a field 4 times bigger than a rugby pitch 😭😭👍👍
it really does get life changing 30 or 40 years down the line when you are wracked with arthritis and have enough artificial joints that you are worth a a few bob for scrap metal ;
In the mid 90's I got to experience playing rugby in the Fiji Islands in the south pacific with Fijians. Dam what fun that was, they were so fast too even barefoot, the jukes they did were insane. Fiji won the 7v7 men's championship several times, didn't matter which of the 300+ islands you went to all the kids knew who Waisale Serevi was!
I knew a guy that played rugby and he was saying basically the same thing. He said it hurt like hell but the adrenaline and excitement of laying someone out was one of the best parts
I played prop for a little, Canadian high school in the mid 90s. We sucked ass, but it was really fun. Sometimes I wish I watched rugby before I started playing rugby, but then watching stuff like this makes me think I`m glad I didn`t. These men are absolutely terrifying!!
I played grass roots rugby for 30 years, and I have made some big tackles, and I mean some big hits, but that first hit was criminal, that was brutal. I hope the guy got up ok.
@@DjSicEmI don't know about other countries, and maybe you are in England as well, but here we often use 'Criminal' just as a way of describing things, not necessarily because we think it's illegal. i.e. 'That smell is criminal'.
The best glorious head snapping, ko, crunching tackles I've watched ever, so far, doesn't get any better than the coverage shown on this channel, both codes and some awesome runaway trys, best sport in the world for full body contact in a team environment. Love it 💪
That's just because the game of football is designed such that it's beneficial to act as if you're in such pain that you'll get a free kick or a card drawn for the other. Which causes football imo to produce the most unsportsmanlike situations.
I know 2 football players ( not mates - mind you ) that on the Monday after the game, had to go to the tatto parlour, because their tats had been somewhat disfigured during a game - not that it's a contact sport....

@@happymess3219there's not one hit in this video that would be considered a hard hit in the NFL, just a bunch of pussies who stand up last second because they're scared of contact, these hits would never happen in the NFL because any player who does that isn't good enough to make it or is retired from injury before they do, the pads make them hit so much harder but it's much more direct contact with both players using great leverage so nobody goes flying backwards unless they either screw up or if it's a truly bone crushing hit
@@minecraftfox4384you do know that there have been some people who have died playing rugby in a match search up Tino Amato who was killed in a rugby match from a tackle
@@minecraftfox4384average bad take from someone who has never played a game of American football, if you ever were to make it far in American football you will quickly see that American football can become deadly in the matter of seconds. Go ahead and watch the hardest American football hits of all time and you will quickly see that even the average college American football player can hit harder than most skilled rugby players.
For context, this is VERY similar to American Football, but with a few differences that change the dynamic of the game, making it more cursive, with less interruptions, but also a lot slower. You can only pass behind, you are only allowed to tackle below the chest line (no arm grabbing or shoulder pushing) and you are not allowed to tackle opponents who don't have the ball. The player holding the ball IS allowed to push and tackle above, but only with the hand holding the ball(for example if he tucks the ball in his armpit, he can use that shoulder as a battering ram). For a touch down, the player has to place the ball on the ground, not toss it down, that's why you see them diving so much. Well, also a lot less protective gear and it's played by real men, but that's another discussion. You might not be able to tell, because they are all big and there's no reference, but they are all built like tanks.
To be fair, they are world class athletes who have worked impossibly hard to get to that point. To fall just short having been so close must be one of the most crushing experiences of their lives. It’s easy to criticise from the safety of your sofa, but you don’t get that good from accepting second place.
@mattyburr760 No, not really. If you can't accept a defeat, then you don't belong in sports, simple. They lost, they should accept it with grace, and not act like a bunch of a-holes. That is basically the essence of sports. Somebody wins, and somebody loses. Unless we want to create a world of participation trophies....
Wellll my friend!! Coming from a man who’s national food is a spud, your talking an awfully big game. If only you knew the amount of effort these lads have put in to this game. To be with in reach of such a title and to come where they were was an amazing piece yes but these fellas dedicated months of their lives to this game and for them too lose is simply heart breaking. A little bit like when you’re in a relationship (just try to imagine) and you spend hours upon hours of commitment just for her to turn around and say “oh I just don’t really want a relationship right now”. I know this whole girlfriend business is a little strange to you but just try to imagine the pain they are going through!
@@TomyGriff Lol! good effort mate, but sadly your 'not-so tongue in cheek insults' only seem to describe your personality. But be that as it may, ( I still love you ) , you seem to be missing the point. I have no doubt they worked hard, and trained like beasts, and to make it all the way to the final (without loosing a pool game, I might add) was a top effort and well deserved. But my point still stands. . . be gracious in defeat. . . what kind of example are they setting. . . Lot's of young ones are looking up to them, and to act like that after loosing a match. . . seriously, you think that is what is good for Rugby, or any sport? And your 'girlfriend' example (Still googling what that is, thb) How come other teams over the years have been able to accept defeat when they were outplayed, after also putting in months and years of training and dedication? o and BTW, our national food is Braaivleis en brannewyn ;)
You do make a good point but sometimes when it’s such a big thing and they have put so much on the line they can’t help how they feel! I’m sure that they were trying to be gracious but sometimes emotions can be so overwhelming that you can’t help it! No hard feelings but just think a little before you go insulting others teams and discrediting their achievements!
Yankee football is like a game of ring around the rosies with these boys. I'd like to see any one of them try to tackle Caelan Dorris, Alex Dombrant or prime Jonah Lomu(RIP beast).
There's a reason why you have to waer gear in American football.. Rugby isn't for the weak, but compared to American football it's not as brutal.. and honestly it's not even close..
@@user-hi2ss9ky9f There's been plenty players go from American football to rugby and handled it just fine.. reason why you don't see it much is because the money is way lower.. the national average for a rugby player is 300,000.. the national average for NFL is 3 million.. so yeah pretty easy choice..
They are both tough sports.. and I respect both.. not sure who that is you named but I'm sure he would find his match in the NFL.. the NFL has lots of big tough guys as well.. don't underestimate it..
@@wise__mind Different types of sport. NFL is based around a series of pre-planned moves and is based on 10 seconds of dynamic/powerful play (if that). Rugby guys have to run around while physically tired and worn out for 80 minutes - power meets endurance. Also, the helmets and padding (and rules) allow ferocious tackles in the NFL - remove the helmets and padding, etc, and remove attack, defense, and specialist teams and then you'd have something more similar to rugby and comparable. Imagine if NFL team was halved in numbers and that players had to play the entire game and play unprotected - they'd soon change their style of play and players. Likewise with rugby, if they had pads and helmets etc.
I knew a girl who dated an All Black. She said even after practice he felt like he had been hit by a car. These guys put themselves through a lot of punishment!
If you think about it American football hits just as hard but people don’t really think about it because they have pads on I still have massive respect for rugby players doing this stuff with no protective gear on other than mouth guards
These are soft hits by American football standards they look alot worse because of poor leverage, in the NFL they would be laughing at the dude for trying to hit while standing straight up not admiring the other dude because he didn't do anything a gentle breeze could've knocked him over like that, the much better use of leverage in NFL along with wrapping up and tackling in the most efficient way you could possibly bring another human being down to the floor without tripping them leads to the average hit looking less impressive because they kinda just cancel each other out but make no mistake these arent even average NFL collisions and the pads only allow the tackler to hit harder the breaks only allow the tacklers to run faster, and obviously the seasons are so short because the contact is so extreme they cant handle more games, the nfl had 8 game seasons before it got padding, and players still couldnt play full seasons because its just that much more intense
The ammount of people standing around watching in these clips is a testament to how much more contact filled football is. Everyone is blocking or getting cut in the legs rugby is a game of avoidance football is a game of strength and drive
In rugby you don’t get breaks after every play though, so there needs to be some time for the players to rest whilst the ball is on the other side of the pitch
Bullshit. Perfectly legal fend and a perfect example of why you shouldn't stand stationary perfectly upright against a bigger stronger dude running g full tilt at you.
@@Hereford1642 Looks like first contact washing to shoulder regardless either way it was marginal at best and the true fault for being smear on the ground lies with the idiot defender.
These are literally average at best NFL highlights 💀 go watch ray Lewis highlights and Mike alstott highlights RN and you'll see what I mean pay attention to the leverage too most of these hits are slow but the person bounces because of poor leverage while that's incredibly rare in the NFL and players onky bounce off when the other dude can squat a bus
Until a few weeks ago the last rugby match I watched the whistle was blown 4 times! The one I watched a few days ago they had to change the whistle several times as the pea had worn-out 😂

3:07 was 🔥 straight disrespectful 💪💯
6:35 Carlin Isles got Stepped 😮😅
That first tackle is utterly brutal, in fact it’s dangerous…. Tus videos son una locura amigo, 10/10.Saludos desde BSAS..
Then why wasn't I penalized?
These are two different games: rugby and rugby league. Arguably, rugby league has bigger hits due to more direct running.
Who cares?? They both still rugby
More like the amount of shoulder charges and overall dangerous techniques in league making it look bigger
I have literally never watched Rugby and have no idea what is going on (American). Definitely about to go down this rabbit hole.
I live in the u.s and let me say.. this has nothing on nfl.. these guys are brutal
😶
i think you probably meant, 'the nfl has nothing on this'.
but i'm american too and i agree.
next to boxing and mma, rugby is one of the most brutal, violent sports ever invented.
@@happymess3219rugby is like tag compared to football. It's a weak sport for weak men.
@@happymess3219there's not one hit in this video that would be considered a hard hit in the NFL, just a bunch of pussies who stand up last second because they're scared of contact, these hits would never happen in the NFL because any player who does that isn't good enough to make it or is retired from injury before they do, the pads make them hit so much harder but it's much more direct contact with both players using great leverage so nobody goes flying backwards unless they either screw up or if it's a truly bone crushing hit
@@minecraftfox4384you do know that there have been some people who have died playing rugby in a match search up Tino Amato who was killed in a rugby match from a tackle
@@minecraftfox4384average bad take from someone who has never played a game of American football, if you ever were to make it far in American football you will quickly see that American football can become deadly in the matter of seconds. Go ahead and watch the hardest American football hits of all time and you will quickly see that even the average college American football player can hit harder than most skilled rugby players.
Very good vidéo.
Великая Игра Настоящих мужчин
For context, this is VERY similar to American Football, but with a few differences that change the dynamic of the game, making it more cursive, with less interruptions, but also a lot slower. You can only pass behind, you are only allowed to tackle below the chest line (no arm grabbing or shoulder pushing) and you are not allowed to tackle opponents who don't have the ball. The player holding the ball IS allowed to push and tackle above, but only with the hand holding the ball(for example if he tucks the ball in his armpit, he can use that shoulder as a battering ram). For a touch down, the player has to place the ball on the ground, not toss it down, that's why you see them diving so much. Well, also a lot less protective gear and it's played by real men, but that's another discussion. You might not be able to tell, because they are all big and there's no reference, but they are all built like tanks.
Nothing I love more than seeing the English backline being made a fool of. . . Ever since their 'graceful' accepting of their medals at the last RWC
To be fair, they are world class athletes who have worked impossibly hard to get to that point. To fall just short having been so close must be one of the most crushing experiences of their lives. It’s easy to criticise from the safety of your sofa, but you don’t get that good from accepting second place.
@mattyburr760 No, not really. If you can't accept a defeat, then you don't belong in sports, simple. They lost, they should accept it with grace, and not act like a bunch of a-holes.
That is basically the essence of sports. Somebody wins, and somebody loses. Unless we want to create a world of participation trophies....
Wellll my friend!! Coming from a man who’s national food is a spud, your talking an awfully big game. If only you knew the amount of effort these lads have put in to this game. To be with in reach of such a title and to come where they were was an amazing piece yes but these fellas dedicated months of their lives to this game and for them too lose is simply heart breaking. A little bit like when you’re in a relationship (just try to imagine) and you spend hours upon hours of commitment just for her to turn around and say “oh I just don’t really want a relationship right now”. I know this whole girlfriend business is a little strange to you but just try to imagine the pain they are going through!
@@TomyGriff Lol! good effort mate, but sadly your 'not-so tongue in cheek insults' only seem to describe your personality. But be that as it may, ( I still love you ) , you seem to be missing the point. I have no doubt they worked hard, and trained like beasts, and to make it all the way to the final (without loosing a pool game, I might add) was a top effort and well deserved. But my point still stands. . . be gracious in defeat. . . what kind of example are they setting. . . Lot's of young ones are looking up to them, and to act like that after loosing a match. . . seriously, you think that is what is good for Rugby, or any sport? And your 'girlfriend' example (Still googling what that is, thb) How come other teams over the years have been able to accept defeat when they were outplayed, after also putting in months and years of training and dedication? o and BTW, our national food is Braaivleis en brannewyn ;)
You do make a good point but sometimes when it’s such a big thing and they have put so much on the line they can’t help how they feel! I’m sure that they were trying to be gracious but sometimes emotions can be so overwhelming that you can’t help it! No hard feelings but just think a little before you go insulting others teams and discrediting their achievements!
How is this not the most popular sport on Earth?
Because humans are not psychopaths strength is not everything spread love not brutality and this sport is for animals 😅
There is some guys that need to learn how to do a tackle
RWC 2023, cant wait!!!
That Gordan Talis one is from like at least 20 years ago mang.
Yup on Hodgson
0:47 what game???
I’d love to see these guys come to the nfl they would wreak havoc
sick vid
Yankee football is like a game of ring around the rosies with these boys. I'd like to see any one of them try to tackle Caelan Dorris, Alex Dombrant or prime Jonah Lomu(RIP beast).
There's a reason why you have to waer gear in American football.. Rugby isn't for the weak, but compared to American football it's not as brutal.. and honestly it's not even close..
@@user-hi2ss9ky9f There's been plenty players go from American football to rugby and handled it just fine.. reason why you don't see it much is because the money is way lower.. the national average for a rugby player is 300,000.. the national average for NFL is 3 million.. so yeah pretty easy choice..
@@wise__mind no 6'6 170kg Eben bullying other players in NFL for 80 minutes
They are both tough sports.. and I respect both.. not sure who that is you named but I'm sure he would find his match in the NFL.. the NFL has lots of big tough guys as well.. don't underestimate it..
@@wise__mind Different types of sport. NFL is based around a series of pre-planned moves and is based on 10 seconds of dynamic/powerful play (if that). Rugby guys have to run around while physically tired and worn out for 80 minutes - power meets endurance. Also, the helmets and padding (and rules) allow ferocious tackles in the NFL - remove the helmets and padding, etc, and remove attack, defense, and specialist teams and then you'd have something more similar to rugby and comparable. Imagine if NFL team was halved in numbers and that players had to play the entire game and play unprotected - they'd soon change their style of play and players. Likewise with rugby, if they had pads and helmets etc.
I knew a girl who dated an All Black. She said even after practice he felt like he had been hit by a car. These guys put themselves through a lot of punishment!
Ah yes, playing tag feels like being hit by a car. Lmfao. Rugby players proving they're pussies
When the lights are off that’s when the game of life starts. Life is not a 10 minute highlight clip 😊
If you think about it American football hits just as hard but people don’t really think about it because they have pads on
I still have massive respect for rugby players doing this stuff with no protective gear on other than mouth guards
They hit as hard but they are also protected from those hits is that difference.
@@bobbobertbobberton1073 still doesnt protect from cte
@@p1TCHONEEE So...
These are soft hits by American football standards they look alot worse because of poor leverage, in the NFL they would be laughing at the dude for trying to hit while standing straight up not admiring the other dude because he didn't do anything a gentle breeze could've knocked him over like that, the much better use of leverage in NFL along with wrapping up and tackling in the most efficient way you could possibly bring another human being down to the floor without tripping them leads to the average hit looking less impressive because they kinda just cancel each other out but make no mistake these arent even average NFL collisions and the pads only allow the tackler to hit harder the breaks only allow the tacklers to run faster, and obviously the seasons are so short because the contact is so extreme they cant handle more games, the nfl had 8 game seasons before it got padding, and players still couldnt play full seasons because its just that much more intense
I play for Aldridge rugby club and I don't wear mouth guards when I play rugby.
The ammount of people standing around watching in these clips is a testament to how much more contact filled football is. Everyone is blocking or getting cut in the legs rugby is a game of avoidance football is a game of strength and drive
Football ? 🤔....Oh you mean American Rugby
In rugby you don’t get breaks after every play though, so there needs to be some time for the players to rest whilst the ball is on the other side of the pitch
People talking about the first tackle like the dude at 1:17 didn't join NASA's space program 💀
Lol
This is the UFC of ball sports
More like wrestling. They all have wrestler's physique
The attacker at 22 seconds forearm smashes the defender and should have been sent off. Very nasty play.
Bullshit.
Perfectly legal fend and a perfect example of why you shouldn't stand stationary perfectly upright against a bigger stronger dude running g full tilt at you.
@@garywebster3044 No, he led with his forearm. That is quite different to a straight arm hand off.
@@Hereford1642
Looks like first contact washing to shoulder regardless either way it was marginal at best and the true fault for being smear on the ground lies with the idiot defender.
agreed...
The last tackle was the best!
Man they truthfully make the NFL players look like real softies.
It's literally the same as NFL just without pads 🤦🏾♂️
These are literally average at best NFL highlights 💀 go watch ray Lewis highlights and Mike alstott highlights RN and you'll see what I mean pay attention to the leverage too most of these hits are slow but the person bounces because of poor leverage while that's incredibly rare in the NFL and players onky bounce off when the other dude can squat a bus
@@felixlara2945only an American or a retarded person would actually really believe that, so cute. Stick with your pads lady
Some off the ultimate sports... Rugby.. MMA.. world rally championship.... Isle off man tt...
they should show this at all NFL halftime games aka the National Fluff League
310 exellent run great footage
its crazy cause Ben Simmons came from playing Australia Rugby and bro soft asf in the NBA
He's only an average rugby player at his best
Because rugby isn't that intense that's why their seasons are so long
Until a few weeks ago the last rugby match I watched the whistle was blown 4 times! The one I watched a few days ago they had to change the whistle several times as the pea had worn-out 😂
If a scotsman stares u down... always back down. Important survival skill there lol
I played football in highschool for 3years liked it but when I switched to rugby oh 10x more intense but good bare Knuckle fights for sure😊
Proper men’s sport. The yanks player American Football 😂 that’s a lightweight version of Rugby. Funny enough our girls and ladies play netball (Basketball) and rounders (Baseball) oh well.
Lightweight yet faster paced and way stronger, majority of these boys are fat guys running like 5.5😂
Da yank lmfao. American football is a lightweight version of rugby hahaha who is this guy. Funny our girls play netball ( basketball) well no they actually do play basketball lmfao. And rounders Baseball) our girls. They literally just had two sellouts at London Stadium and at trafalger square. Which rock are you under. 😂😂😂😂
This is the kind of stuff I expect from NFL. It would be sooo much more interesting to watch. An arena of gladiators with a ball
These guys have balls of steel
They don't have balls that's why they play tag. Oh, sorry, you call it rugby
game has changed a lot.
hail the lord!
NFL is like a pillow fight with helmets. Rugby is like rock fight with no helmets. 💯
The most brutal?
Calcio storico Fiorentino 👍👍👍
Nice.
Tiens Neymar ferait pas mal de regarder ce genre de vidéo et peut être qu'il réféchirait à 2 fois avant de pleurer pour une touchette xD
Rugby is for gladiators and fighters, NFL is for athletes.
Thats a real sport... not american hand soccer
Your mom

You say that, but gridiron football (or American Football) actually evolved From rugby.
Football is a real sport
rugby is just how kids play football
