@1:46 Arendse is currently playing for my local Rugby Team in Japan, Sagamihara Dyna Boars. He scored two tries within the first 9 minutes of this weeks game. Incredible talent.
It's great watching the likes of Portugal (second tier team in the world hierarchy) scoring an awesome try against South Africa, currently the best team in the world.
Good to see an American getting into rugby. There was a game in 2021 for the 1874 cup, named for the first recorded game of rugby to be played in the USA. It was played in Washington DC between the US Eagles and the NZ All Blacks. It's on TH-cam, I think you can guess the outcome. But the US did score their first ever try against the All Blacks, and their second one as well.
I'm a kiwi (a person from new Zealand). Rugby is our national sport it's great to play and to watch. Although it is very hard on the body with limited playing time. General once you reach 35 it's pretty over for playing. But still a great sport.
They have to hold the ball for as long as possible before passing to draw the defender and make sure they commit to a tackle, thus leaving less defence available and opening a gap.
Passing just before "being taken out" is to ensure that the defender is also "taken out". Passing too soon sees defender shift focus to the next ball carrier. A good Union game is a joy to watch, as you are finding. For an American, note that there are few stoppages, so 80 minutes of action in about 90 minutes on field. Stamina required!
I highly recommend you have a look at Rugby League. It is very similar to Union, but is even more accessible to those who understand NFL. It is also more exciting and the rules make a bit more sense.
Even better: the look on a prop's face when he just broke the line and realises he has to run with the ball, with probably 29 players on the field who are faster than him 😂
Hi Chaddington, if I can make a suggestion to exchange the screen size of the rugby footage you are reacting to with the screen showing you - it makes for a better watch along experience for your audience
In rugby if you have the ball running down field you will purposely draw in the defense so that you assisting runners can have a clear run to the try line
can you check out the NRL, its rugby leagie, similar to this which is rugby union, its faster paced than this rugby so i think youll enjoy it more. The NRL had Russel Crowe make a promo for it directed at Americans becaue last year they started the season in vegas and sold over 40k tickets. theyre going to be back this year so get into it before the season starts. ps nearly all reactors that react to both rugby league and rugby union, majority of the time they prefer league
If you care, NRL and AFL are australias 2 biggest sports, but its based off where in australia you are. if youre interested in learning about it theres a video called "The Barassi Line - Australia's Great Sporting Divide" it explains it
Yeah check out the NRL. Its the biggest club Rugby competition of either code. Its the most watched sport in Australia and is big in NZ and the pacific.
As a kid you're told to "swing it" pass the ball, let the ball down the work. Modern defensive patterns make it a lot harder. You should react to a Squidge Rugby video to understand the level of planning and preparation that goes into these moves.
@markpaweena781 Yeah , AFL , is a non stop , 120 mins of brutality , fast , athleticism is a other level , no using hands leap on the shoulders of a 210 cm giant , that's some leap , 70 meter kick , Common, frantic , the tempo is awesome , no breaks , an add after a goal 30 secs , no goals no adds , no time out , and players must get up straight away , a 2 on 1 will cost a goal , it has no off side , so 360° legal , it'll catch on , and is oldest Codified football game on earth, Codified by MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club) In 58/59 , then in. AEF Codified Soccor in 1863 , 1870 first FA Cup, then in 1871 FRU Codified Rugger and Gridiorn who took a lot from Rugby, as Brits were in America , and was codified in 1973 , the IAA codified Gaelic Football in 1884 , so it's a very old game , the first with rules , Copyrighted , and an American came to Australia saw Australian Rules and invented Basket ball . it's a ripping game footy , cheers
Rugby as far as football codes go is a minor sport in Australia. With game attendances of up to 100,000 the Australian Football code (AFL) dominates. Especially not just men, but women and children excited to attend as it maintains their interest throughout the game with non stop athletic action.
@ 😂🤣😂 Rugby average crowd attendance in 2024 was 20,100. The AFL average of 38,300, nearly double. Television viewers are both average just under 800,000 per game. AFL finals viewing 1,400,00 compared to NRL 1,057,00. Foxtel keeps it’s set-top box viewers a secret so viewership relies on number from channels seven and nine making comparisons very difficult.
@ are you talking about Rugby Union? Rugby league had an average of 3.4m viewers for each State of Origin match with a peak of 5.4m for game one making the series the highest rating TV show in the country ever. Game 2 and 3 were second and third. More people go to AFL. But more people watch NRL.
On the try when you complain about the defence. Look back to where the run started, both teams were on the other try line. They are all running back trying to get into defensive positions
For comparison: an American football field is 91.4m long; a rugby field is 94-100m in length; a soccer field is 105m; an Australian football field for professional games is 155-185m long.
@@Chaddington98You are now an official Bok supporter. Welcome onboard 🤘 I watch many "American reacts to Rugby" videos, and I really like the way you appreciate the game and various skills. No over the top "They're going to kill each other" and "no pads" like some reactors. Just a pure appreciation of our beautiful game.
Compared to Rugby sport, American Football is like rugby for female debutants!!.. in USA i don't understand why they get all excited and encourage baseball while ignoring rugby.

Over the many years of world sport (all sport) the winnerest team in the whole world the ALL BLACKS and by a big margin.

This is Rugby Union, it is quite complicated to learn all the rules. We also play Rugby League in Australia, and it is much easier to learn and a much faster game. Not as popular as Rugby Union around the world but a better spectator sport.
I hope you appreciate that the tries came from all over big teams little teams and not just the money making teams
I noticed that! Very cool
South African, here.. Yeah - rugby IS a lot of fun!.. So, keep watching, brotha'!..
you lads play super rugby it's joy to watch. Hopefully Ireland can achieve a world cup victory. Until the next world cup
So true about a rugby game all day long❤

The high kick is usually referred to as a Garry Owen after the Irish club that introduced it to the game
They have to hold the ball for as long as possible before passing to draw the defender and make sure they commit to a tackle, thus leaving less defence available and opening a gap.
I love rugby now I don't have to play it 😁(as a child who was always smaller than his peers)!

It's not the world's best sport, but it's way better than whatever it is that Americans call football.
There are a lot of grinding, grinding low score games too man. From Ireland 💚💚🤍🤍🧡🧡
The really high kicks are called 'bombs'
haha I think that's what I called it!
Gary owen
I'm loving your appreciation, and analogy. Ive grown up with all the jargon, and it's nice to hear a fresh look at the sport
Rugby v America Football. Only one winner... Rugby has it all and more
I highly recommend you have a look at Rugby League. It is very similar to Union, but is even more accessible to those who understand NFL. It is also more exciting and the rules make a bit more sense.
Best part about rugby is watching "props breaking the line"
Even better: the look on a prop's face when he just broke the line and realises he has to run with the ball, with probably 29 players on the field who are faster than him 😂
Note Player try to place the ball ( touch down) under the post if poss to make conversion kick easier.
Hi Chaddington, if I can make a suggestion to exchange the screen size of the rugby footage you are reacting to with the screen showing you - it makes for a better watch along experience for your audience
Best game in the world, really hope the MLR in the US goes from strength to strength too, can only be a good thing for the game.
Ausome!😊
a good team will use the holes in the opposite defense...
a great team will shake the opposite team to create the holes
In rugby if you have the ball running down field you will purposely draw in the defense so that you assisting runners can have a clear run to the try line
In the old days a high,short kick was called "an up and under".😊
can you check out the NRL, its rugby leagie, similar to this which is rugby union, its faster paced than this rugby so i think youll enjoy it more.

the only thing left out of that videos is that the nrl has a huge pacific island audience and players from there whereas the afl dont have many at all
Yeah check out the NRL. Its the biggest club Rugby competition of either code. Its the most watched sport in Australia and is big in NZ and the pacific.
Chaddington, watch the 9 minute You Tube video of All Blacks v Barbarians 1973 Just sublime rugby by both teams !
The Six Nations is starting at the end of the month!
As a kid you're told to "swing it" pass the ball, let the ball down the work. Modern defensive patterns make it a lot harder.
You should react to a Squidge Rugby video to understand the level of planning and preparation that goes into these moves.
6 Nations starting soon! Get stuck in, mate!
Depends on your sporting preference AFL will challenge pretty hard for the title
AFL? Total crap! It's only played by Mexicans

You must watch the videos on Nigel Owens to see probably the best rugby referee. PS: watch 'Nigel Owen's being Nigel Owens' first
Noice! Rugby is a cool game
Actually that little chip kick pass from the Frenchman was pretty good.
G'day Mate! Have you had a look at the Sevens tournaments? World Sevens is pretty exciting stuff... Cheers!

Have you watched any Finn Russell videos.

185m long??? jeeeeesus the cardio you must have to play!!

Rugby League is a faster game than Rugby Union and is a much bigger sport in Australia. Check out the top tries in that.
Aussie Rules Football is the best sport in the World. Any sport where you have to throw backwards is just stupid.
Aussie No Rules Football as it is better known in the northern hemisphere.
LMFAO. Nice try but football is BY MILES the best sport on Earth. Its not even close.
