If you want to know how bad some of the head on collisions can get, check out Anthony Tupou's quadruple jaw fracture which happened when he got hit by Konrad Hurrell.... also know that despite his teeth literally hanging out of his mouth and the blood flowing, he wanted to continue playing the same game!
Legend.
Or watch the interview with Buck Shelford (I think) about his injury in the amateur era.
That hit was knee to the head tho
@@markyeadon7271 1986 "The Battle of Nantes" - Les Bleus vs The All Blacks. Wayne "Buck" Shelford (All Blacks) lost 4 teeth, was concussed and had his scrotum torn open, leaving a bollock hanging out. Got stitched up and went back in. Pulled out when he got knocked out for the second time in the match.

Don't google about the Testicle injury of Schoenfeld...
In Australia, we have four (4) different football codes that are played. Rugby Union (this video you are watching) - Rugby League (similar to rugby union with some different rules) - Australian Rules Football (a combination of many sports in one) - Soccer (Football). There is no protective gear worn in these sports. The soft headgear worn by some players has limited protection.
To introduce you to two of these football codes, I have included video links for both Rugby League and Australian Rules Football.
Rugby League (NRL) is played between 17 teams from the States of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and a team from New Zealand. Australian Rules Football (AFL) is played between 18 teams from the States of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia. I have included a video What is AFL - which explains the rules of the game and takes a while to understand.

I can remember in the early days of ESPN, they would show edited games of Australian Rules Football. I did not understand all the rules but as I pick up some of the basics AFL became a very interesting game. One worth investigating.
most of what i saw was union but league appeared at 4:41
I have 2 mates who played pro and represented their country in rugby league. 1 for the kangaroos and the other English lions. Both were retired by 32 neither can lift their arms above their head. One played 10 games with a broken neck before it was finally diagnosed.
😬
league might not be my cup of tea but major respect to the fitness of those lads, absolute athletes
@@benvanwessel1984league is far more brutal as that’s the way it was designed, instead of union where the players want a cuddle pile
@@kylewilliams6091rugby union is a way better sport. That’s why it has WAY more fans.
@kylewilliams6091 😂😂 league is for people who lack the skill and brains to play real rugby . League is a game for degenerates
This is an old video and many tackles shown (tackling a player who is in the air, piledriving, tackling in the air) can result in immediate sending off and suspension from playing for a period of time. Concussion is a major concern at the moment and some of the tackles shown would result in the player having to take time off the field for an assessment.
The men’s World Cup is happening at France later this year and should provide some good games.
90’s was when rugby was its best .
I actually started playing Rugby Union when i was 26 and i fell right in love with it . I played over 300 first grade and tournament games , at loose head prop for my team and played until my retirement at 43 years old.
It is worth noting that the player tackled, no matter how hard, will do their utmost to retain possession of the ball or recycle it back so that their team can continue.
The "wedgie" at 5:00 was because the defender, Chris Latham, was trying to carry the attacker into touch (with the ball) so there would be a 'lineout' with the throw-in going to Latham's team.
Later you see evidence of how difficult high passes are for players to take because it leaves them so vulnerable to heavy tackles.
In football the padding and helmets often give a false sense of security. People go in really hard with bad technique because they think they're safe. You'll find Rugby teams are heavily drilled on how to tackle properly to keep themselves safe, keep their heads in the right place. There's a big emphasis on the tackler keeping the tackled player safe. You have to wrap arms around them, you're not allowed to tip them so they land on their heads/necks, no tackling in the air, etc. A lot of the clips in this video were fouls, fair challenges that looked worse than they were, or unfortunate incidents. Also older clips are a bit more brutal as a lot of these tackling rules have come into effect over the last 10 years.
extra comment about the shoulder challenges in this clip, these were absolutely wrong, and are 100% considered fouls these days. Several players overused their shoulders, and should honestly have been arrested for assault because of it, as it's 100% done to hurt the other player (looking at you Sonny Bill Williams)
As with American football, Rugby sadly has a growing issue with MND and other neurological conditions caused by head trauma. It has introduced very strict rules around any head collisions and concussion
Used to play Rugby at school from the age of 12, always used to make you play it in winter when the ground was as hard as concrete.
In elementary school those cold winter mornings and concrete fields were played barefoot too
@@christopherdewet2836 Yep, or if you forgot your kit made you play in your underwear, never get away with that now lol
There is two different Rugby coads. Rugby Union and Rugby League which have different rules . They are seperate competitions. The games have many similarities. You can only tackle the man carrying the ball. You can only pass backwards. You can kick forward and regain the ball . Both are fast tough games.
Just to put into murican, the backwards passes are what you call laterals in football.
If you want to see the worst side of rugby, watch "rugby till I collapse" which is 99% made out of illegal tackles.
Good call👌
YES. That video is another level. Be warned you'll probably have to mute the audio track or replace it but it's definitely worth it.
Yeah, I was half expecting it to be this video. Made the ones in this video look tame in comparison.
It's old many rule changes
Not all were illegal... remember most the no arm tackles were back when the rules were different and legal at the time
There are great videos of best tries and rugby skills, the reason I watch rugby. They've tightened up the laws around head contact
My brother was 17 and a very good school player he was being watched for a future playing for Scotland. His girlfriend ( who had bad eyesight) and I were watching a school at home, he was tackled and his knee cap turned 180°, a team member was sick, but the funny thing was the paramedic was the sister of a guy my bro had broken the arm of in a machine just the week before. He has a full leg cast for 6 weeks, well he would have done if a friend had not crushed the cast with his car, thanks to the cast my bfrinds car had a imprint (full leg) on his cars wing for ages. 2 cars damaged my bros leg ok.
Love rugby.
Played club rugby here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 loved it!
What i love about Rugby union is the respect for the referee he is the boss and you are taught that in grass roots rugby "if the ref is right he is right" "if the ref is wrong he is still right" 😉
The greatest showpiece and pinnacle for any rugby playing nation or anyone that follows the game will take place this September when the 2023 Rugby World Cup kicks off and believe 💯 it will be the greatest tournament on the planet as each nation produces their best form in the quest to lift the William Webb Ellis cup and the title of Rugby World Champions.
Enjoyed this 😊 you should check out Joe Westerman when he played for Castleford Tigers he dislocated his knee in a game and slapped it back in on the pitch, stood up waved the physio away and carried on playing. Edit, my mistake he was playing for Hull FC at the time.
Some tackling laws:
You're not allowed to
1. tackle a player without the ball. Fractionally late is normally allowed
2. tackle a player on or above the shoulder line
3. tackle a player who is in the air
4. tackle a player without at least attempting to wrap your arms around him
5. tackle a player and lift him through a 90 degree angle (spear tackle)
A ball carrier may
1. fend off a player with his hands
2. barge into defenders provided he doesn't lead with his forearm or elbow and hit the defender above the shoulder line
Depending of the seriousness of the offence these could result in a penalty, a yellow card (off for 10 minutes) or even a red card (off for the rest of the game and a potential ban for one or more games)
"His stomach went one way, the ball went the other" lol
Great reaction thanks guys. I've been waiting for this one. I suggest Nigel Owens retired rugby ref. Check him out he takes no shit.
Glad you enjoyed it Holly! Thanks being patient :)
@@barsandbarbells2022 Definitely check out Holly's suggestion!
@barsandbarbells2022 womens rugby is brutal too. I wanted to play because my 3 older brothers play and I played tag rugby in primary. I'm 5'2 and 8 stone. I would have been crushed. My dad said no.
Chabaaaaaal 👍
Just a quick summary from a referee:
First of all, this was a good video to react to as it was actually mostly legal hits.
And now to the contact rules (actually called laws in rugby). There aren't really that many things to know about what's legal or illegal. You can't take out a player in the air (fair contest for the ball where contact happens is ok though!), you can't obviously take out a player without the ball (finishing a tackle that you were already committed to before the ball carrier gave away the ball is ok), contact above the shoulders (neck and head) is illegal and the tackler must always at least have the intention to wrap the arms around in a tackle.
As for the wedgie five minutes into the reaction, though not illegal (grabbing an opponents clothing is allowed) that play had other elements in it that should have been penalized. You can't dive on a player on the ground or prevent a player with the ball from getting up from the ground if there hasn't been a tackle (in this case there hadn't).
Former New Zealand rugby player, Buck Shelford lost a testicle playing for our national team (the All Blacks) against France back in the 1980s.
All in the timing...and the tonnage of the tackler that makes a good "SMASH EM' BRO"🤣🤣🤣
One of the lads I played with in my school rugby team back in the day broke his collar bone about 30 minutes into a game and still completed the full match. I think we were about 15 years old at the time.
So yeah, you've got to be an absolute nutter to play rugby, but by god is it fun.
The last commenter (@Ozzcaddy) mentioned that this video is of rugby union, the first of the 4 codes of football he mentioned. I think it is mostly rugby union with a few hits from rugby league games. The wedgie part is funny but there is actually a logic to it beyond just trying to embarrass the guy. The tackler was trying to lift him into touch (get him out of bounds with the ball in hand) so that his team can have the advantage of ball possession in the next play. Hope you enjoy your journey discovering the game of rugby.
I played rugby from the age of 9 stopped playing when 35 other than a few times I broke ribs , was all good lol . 57 now both my knees are fxxxxd my shoulder movement not the best . But loved the game and the gamesmanship on the field , an amazing game played world wide ..
the clip not shown of jonah lomu a real beast running over our defence underwood, andrew et al was a serious wake up call for us english.
A player friend of mine used to say "if you've only broken six or less bones - then you're not a professional".
I played through the (brit equiv of) high school and into my second year of college... Back then, a lot of techniques that are illegal now were totaly fine. As a result I'm short of a few teeth (got my face stood on more times than I can count) and have permanent metalwork in my left forearm (padding the posts is a bit of a "modern thing" and getting tackled INTO them tended to hurt a bit. The one where they had to rivet my arm back together was the career-ender) :P
I wouldn't have missed it though. The game is a total blast to play, and the craic after the game, once both teams are off the field and all buddies again was amazing. I think the intensity of how we played it was one of the things made the sportsmanship so strong.
Sometimes, you just got no choice, this brick sh*thouse of an opposing forward is pounding down at you and you know he's going through you like crap through a goose... but you have a go at him anyway. Then you pick yourself up out of the dirt, do it again, and buy each other a couple of pints in the bar after the game.
I would come home from school with a black eye and loads of bruises and cuts. My mum would ask "Rugby or fight"? It was almost always Rugby. 😂
I heard somebody say once, "Football(soccer) is a gentlemen's game played by thugs and hooligans, whereas Rugby is a Thug's game played by gentlemen".
Respect found in your reaction. Best Wishes from Western Scotland.

My younger cousin played for Bath University Rugby. He made one wrong move on the Rugby field and ended up in a coma for 4 weeks. Rugby is like ballet. Practice, practice, practice. One wrong move and you're done for. Kinda like one wrong ballet move and that's an ankle broken.
When you talk about throwing it to a teammate who is about to get drilled... that called "a hospital pass" (because you're going straight to the hospital).
This was quite tame for Rugby. There are much more hardcore videos out there. 👍
Love the game, played it for years. Best team game in the world. Some of the tackles shown are now illegal as the tackler can't make contact with the ball carrier's head. Depending on the circumstances the tackler may be given 10mins in the Sin Bin or sent off for the remainder of the game.
I luv American football, but these r real men. TBF ones a hitting game, the other a tackling game
Most important rules are. No head contact at all. Must attempt to wrap the arms (can’t just shoulder charge) can’t tackle someone who’s in the air. Must tackle below the shoulder line
My brother in law was th Polish Olympic hammer thrower , shot out and did a power lifting event, just massive dude built like these guys and he played club rugby after moving to my state after marrying my sister so we’d go watch his matches and man,..6’4” 280lbs of liters solid muscle with Olympic strength and he’d charge opponents full sprint same from them and just absolutely destroy these guys and I jsut don’t understand how they don’t get sos severely hurt. I played football (American) all of my schooling and the power /impact level in a BIG10 school I went to was rediculous ,..with pads on and helmets! And it steps up from there in pro and Rugby , just unreal what the human body is capable of.
Great reaction thanks, female rugby can be just as rough as mens rugby.
I started playing rugby when I was 8 and stoped at 21 due to injuries…. Have trouble walking in my 20s due to the injuries.
But you can play rugby from 7-60
When an indestructible object meets an immovable object ........... You have Rugby beasts
Why the wedgie at 4:40 ? It's actually quite tactical : the touchlines in rugby work the opposite way from the NFL, and going out of bounds while in possesion of the ball results in a turnover.
As such, by wedgiing Blue 10 out of bounds, Purple 15 is trying to force a turnover for his team. And that's why Blue 10 releases the ball (or tries to) just before being out of bounds.
Hey guys if your interested try Rugby League from Australia.
Rugby League is 13 a side where as Rugby is 15 a side.
Both running games but completely different rules.
Rugby League is more open with less players on the field at once.
State of Origin is the pinnacle of our game and brutal.
Check it out guys as I believe there are NRL games in Las Vegas early next year.
I can let you know some rules if interested
Should watch "rugby hits till I collapse" love the content guys love from a rugby lad from Ireland currently mending a broken leg lol 💚
5:04 lol
from the age of 11 to 45 I only had concussion once... and that was following a knee to the head in the scrum (illegal) ,,, tackling is its own skill
I played for +/- 10 years. Greatest sport ever.
As a ten years old i got a detached retina by a bad tackle, i had just been knocked down and was in a sitting position, when i was hit at the back of the head by a diving shoulder strike, and that was the end of my rugby days, retinal dialysis would put a stop to my boxing years later, not sure if the hit in rugby was partly responsible or just bad luck
Hit me up. Glad to guest spot and give some insight to the madness.
NICE HUGGS LOL !!!!!! i payed rugby in my youth and im only 5ft9" and 159lbs so i was of course in the smallest of my team and notice that the game never stop unles the ball is out or if there is a foul commited
Collar bones and ribs are the most common injuries as tackles usually involve the shoulder hitting the chest at speed
I don’t know why we enjoy playing lol
The women’s rugby is worth a look too. Those girls are brutal.
Some of the clips you watched were school boys playing in a school competition in South Africa. We breed beasts in South Africa.
Played it for 9 years before bad injury. And I was hospitalised for 2 days with a concussion. I still think it was the right year... everyone says different
OUCH... OUCH... OUCH.... craziness.... 🤪
This is Rugby Union. AKA “The Running Game”. This is the game they play in Heaven.
-----According to those same English Public Schoolboys who introduced it to most of the world. They gave up the Empire and moved on to higher things apparently.
@@petegarnett7731yeah that would explain why they are so garbage at rugby 😂
Rugby league is played in heaven union is played in hell
@@unkown2096 In that case I can’t lose.
I understand why 'American Football' is so popular, especially in the age of television, (you need breaks for all the commercials). But some of the terms amuse me.
First there's the name, 'football', when there's only two times when a foot and the ball actually make contact.
Second is the term 'touchdown'. In rugby the ball actually has to be touched down, not so in AF.
As for rugby, in both codes, and in AF, the basic rules of pass back kick forward apply.
High tackle above the shoulder , straight arm tackle upper chest and above
The rules since 2000 have made Rugby softer. The players used to punch each other in the face back in the day.
that wedgie! you don't see a lot of those in rugby, in fact this one clip is the only time I have ever seen this happen and I'm from a strong rugby nation, New Zealand and there are a few of these videos out claiming to be the full of the hardest hits or something similar...most of these don't seem that bad or hard at all...there are some shockers out there though 😅. . . thanks for the company
I’d gladly take a big hit front on at least you know what’s coming but the ones you don’t see hurt the most. Shout out to the league and union fans who play up the front with the big boys 💯
Buck Shelford had his testicles ripped open by some boot studs. He went to the sideline, got it stitched up without any drugs and went back on the field. BEAST!
not sure if anyone mentioned before, you have to play on defence & offense in Rugby Union & Rugby League
America is hosting the 2031 Rugby world cup, for the very first time.
In short, the injury toll is high in both Rugby Union and Rugby League, certain positions are more combative and therefore have a higher attrition rate. The longevity of a player playing both professional codes is not long, those who achieve 100+ first class matches are the exception.
About concussion. I’m 40 and played professionally for 6 years I personally know 7 lads with early onset dementia who are my age.
Remember the smallest person on the pitch the scrum half probably 15 stone,the south sea islanders are all massive and extremely fast
Moot point there are less injuries in rugby ( statistically) than American football despite the fact that rugby is played world wide including the us
your rugby player in South Africa starts at 9yrs old but the numbers drop as they get older your top players can go on to their late 30s
Sabaton reaction, En Livstid I Krig, live in Gothenburg. Its incredible. Also Evanescence: Lithium. Those 2 are an absolute must.
Yes you could really need to watch There are 2 different games of Rugby. Rugby League and Rugby Union they are similar but not the same the majority of the difference is what happens after the player is tackled. But the huge difference between both code of Rugby and US football in US Football you have an attacking lineup (team) and a defensive line-up (team). The Rugby There the one line-up dose both and the game goes for 2 x 40 minute halves with a 20 minute break for half time any other stop is only 2 minutes here and there for a penalty or a kick for goal after a try. So the players are pretty much well running for the hole 40 minute half have 20 minute break a and run for another 40 minutes.
Superbowl seems kinda silly after that
“They have no padding” atleast they have a mouth guard 🤷🏽♂️
Have you Deen a “haka” from the new zealand rugbyteam? That is also impressive to watch
Talking about the damage to your body, I played high level D1 football and rugby in college 11 years ago. I was diagnosed with arthritis at 21 in both my knees, my left shoulder and fun bonus, in my left thumb. I'm okay, but it flares up every once in a while.
rules are: you're only aloud to tackle below the waste, get the ball to the try zone.you're allowed to kick the ball forward but you can only chuck it backwards
I would say there are more injuries in American football as players lead with their heads and the only thing holding your head up with that helmet on is your neck, most rugby tackles even the hard ones lead with the shoulder, you can hit harder with the shoulder than the head.
American (and Canadian) football evolved from pre-codified Rugby. Rugby has the same basic objectives as North America Football. A touchdown is called a Try (and has to be grounded). There's Conversions after a Try. Penalty goals, field goals (via a drip kick).
Rugby split into 2 codes in the 1890s, along class lines over professionalism. The upper middle class stuck to amateurism with Rugby Union, the more globally popular of the two varieties. Union (which is the version shown in this video) only went professional in 1996, before that one could be banned for professionalism. Union has 15 players a side, meaningful Scrums, rucks, mauls, and Lineouts to bring the ball back into play when out of bounds. When in play, the ball is always contestable by either side. Rugby Union has a strong focus on the International game. New Zealand (All Blacks) is historically the most dominant nation, followed by South Africa (Springboks). Australia (Wallabies), England, France also dominant. Currently Ireland has reached the top of world rankings. Wales was dominant in the 70s. Argentina and to a lesser extent Japan have emerged to top ten nations these days. Later this year is the Rugby World Cup in France with the hosts and Ireland going in favourites, South Africa are the reigning world champions.
The other Rugby is Rugby League. League's traditional heartland was the industral North of England, specifically Lancashire and Yorkshire. The working class couldn't afford to play by the strict amateurism enforced by the Rugby Football Union. The northern english clubs split from the southern clubs in the 1890s to form the professional Northern Rugby Football Union, which became the Rugby Football League. As their version evolved away from Rugby Union, it began to be refered to as Rugby League.
'League is somewhat closer to North American Football, in that the ball is not contestable and their are 6 downs before the ball is turned over. Scoring is the same as Union, but the points allocated are different. There are 13 players a side instead of Unions 15 a side. There's no rucks, mauls, or lineouts. League has meaningless Scrums as a legacy to its past. League is much more a posession and running game, while Union has much more field position and territory kicking in open play.
League's international presence is pretty thin. Australia (Kangaroos) is utterly dominant. Historically team Great Britain was an equal rival. As GB fell away, New Zealand (Kiwis) emerged, and they compete well. France historically had periods of competitiveness, though French Rugby League never truly recovered from the French Rugby Union's treachery in WW2. With the latter convincing Vichy France's gov that League was a hostile foreign actor, so the sport was banned and all its assets given to French Rugby Union.
The annual interstate series between Australian states New South Wales and Queensland (State-of-Origin) is arguably the highest standard of Rugby played by either version. The Australian national team may be selected from the series but League internationals seldom reach the intensity. Comparatively equivilent Rugby Union is not played at the same intensity or ball handling skill (and i prefer Union).
Warriors woman's and man's in Rugby sport ❤
i see kids at the park playing this 💀
Hi if you want to see any skilled player's one to look at is called Cheslin Kolbe he is a South African international rugby Union player & he can get past any defense with his footwork skills he's very fast really good to watch take a look at him.
If you want really hard hitting and lots of blood, as there wasn’t a blood bank. Go back too the 70’s and 80’s. That’s when they started changing some of the rules 😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
This video you reacted to is actually two different sports one being Rugby union and the other being Rugby League.
Yea, Rugby makes AFL looks like children on the playground.
I have a new respect for this sport.
All the best.
Cheers.
HEY IT'S TRISTAN TATE!!!
There is alot of rules to this game, but it is the hardest game to play, no protection except for a head guard that only a few wear
Give Aussie Rules and GAA sports, Gaelic Football and Hurling, a look.
shoulder charges are illegal too.
These players started playing at approximately five or six years old.
I posted a short today of my son's hit at U11 last year 💥 and some tries 😊
I live in leeds uk we have leeds rhino,s ruby and leeds united football teams many happy hours lol 😂😂😂😂😂
no hits above the shoulders
Their two types of rugby shown with different rules if you notice some pile in on top of tackled player
This is ruby union they do that to protect the ball from opponents and remain in control of the ball
It only stops if a penalty or goes out of bounds then they scrum for penalty and make a line and throw the ball back in from side lines and both teams try to catch the ball for possession
In the other game it called rugby union and they have a 6 count tackle after 6 tackles you have to hand over the ball umpire will call 5 tackle so players know and only way they can maintain possession is kick the ball high and try to mark as you seen in clips and the other way is if opponents cause a penalty the umpire will star the 6 tackle count again regardless of how many previously counted or during a scrum which is the same in each but in this one when player tackle it stops and opponents have to retreat 10 mtrs then umpire calls play
The one where you see him carry guy over line was to get a penalty by taking him over side line then they scrum for ball you would've notice he released the ball back for team mate before he got carried out but they still lost ball as it rolled out so the carrying him out still worked
I played union where you try to protect the ball and pill over your player with ball it was call pile driving you only get a rest if goes out or penalty other was your takling or protecting the ball for 40 mins and games go 80 mins total other then injury time
They where the head padding by choice normally guy who been concussed several time or at higher risk
You where on the money with helmets as they tend to crash into each other more then without its not that common to be hit around head
As when I played you where trained to tackle the legs
But rule changes have changed that your only allowed to tackle between shoulder and hips now and the shoulder hit are out now
You can use shoulder but only if using arm to tackle at same time which then leave tackler open and can't hit as hard
I accurately suffered more knock injuries in Aussie rules football
Cheers enjoy learning 🦘🇦🇺👍
Some bad ass women playing this too! :)
Watch the rugby GOAT - Jonah Lomu Lord of the Wings - Enjoy greatness!
Should watch rugby league biggest hits (nrl) Australian rugby league
Broke my neck playing high school rugby. Luckily l got fixed
