I like that the US joined the international rugby arena. Can you imagine if it gained just a bit of popularity and had 10% of a NFL team's budget. They'd be massive. They already showed great improvement since their debut. US had a cricket team in the T20 World cup as well this year. I like it. Welcome to the world of sports USA. Now you can join real World Cups, not just local "World Series'"
I was always worried ... the US has around 500 times or more available players as in fit players, ok they don't play Rugby finish en klaar. Protection is the name of the game there. Scaredy cats they are.

That first stiff arm was definitely from Ironman, DDA, the best 12 in the world since 2014 to 2024. Born in my hometown, we schooled with his cousins and still hang out with them today. He is immense and we are so proud of him. DDA is the king of 12’s.
Honestly whomever suggested this video set you up bro 😂 The USA will get better as the years pass and the Sport Grows, since it has been growing at a rapid pace in the USA. The US Rugby team just needs to start pulling out some money and spend on getting the GOOD international coaches to coach the team if they want to start having some more success
As a South African, America has taken some massive strides in rugby over the last few years. They deserve their flowers - and if they keep at it, they'll keep going from strength to strength. And if there's one thing the USA isn't known for, is giving up when they set their sights on something.
The guy who scored the “5” tries is considered the fastest rugby player ever so don’t feel to bad, also this was years ago, USA rugby have improved significantly since then and if I’m not mistaken you recently got or is getting a South African coach and some players as well. As rugby becomes bigger in the US you will become a much stronger team

The big collection of players you were confused about at 2:43 is called a "Maul". Traditionally you see "Rucks" most of the game. This is when a player is tackled to the ground & both teams can compete over the ball/tackled player, with the attacking team generally retaining possession. A Maul occurs when a player is tackled but stays on their feet & at least 2 more players from the attacking team "bind" onto them & drive towards the goal/try line. There is a lot more details & nuance within both rucks & mauls but hopefully that helps! Mauls occur most often from a lineout (throw in from the sideline), as it can be a great attacking platform, especially close to the opposition goal/try line.
NO, u can't quit. Springboks is my team and i will always represent my country but the USA needs to get into this, u would become 1 of the greats. I think u guys have a hidden talent here but practice makes perfect. Rugby is for the toughest men and USA has lots of potential. U just need a passionate coach to push u harder
Many people have suggested that fewer teams (currently 20) should play in the Rugby world cup. They contend that the lower ranked teams have no chance anyway, and that the 'runaway' scores achieved by the top ranking teams against low ranking teams skews player stats. While this may be mostly true and upsets are rare, they do occur and make for incredible glory for those teams and their supporters. Japan, for example saw a lasting improvement in their rankings after beating South Africa once. In 1995 (West) Samoa made it to the quarter finals. In addition to following the Springboks patriotically, I also like to follow the matches of the underdogs - it's good rugby.

Everyone has to start somewhere, I'm a firm believer that America will become one of the best teams in the future. They are hiring a lot of the old Springboks to train the younger players, and that will definitely pay off in the future. Just for example, see how they have developed the 7s rugby team in the last 3 years. It's like day and night.
😂😂 You made me laugh. USA will get better, they still new in this, but really hope it will became a big sport like football there. Rugby is a very exciting fun game to watch, better than football in my eyes. GO BOKKE! 🎉Always very proud of our team🇿🇦❤
Love your sense of humour bro. "He got rammed like Riley Reid".... bwhahahaha! If I'm not mistaking the Rugby World Cup will be hosted in the USA in 2031. Personally I think the world should fear the day when the USA start taking rugby seriously. Greetings from South Africa.
USA is one of the newest countries to start Rugby. South Africa is like the Delta Force of Rugby teams. You should be proud of your boys, most teams outside the top ten go down 80 to a 100 points.
Sheeeeiiit! If the USA played today's Boks oh my we'd be looking at triple figures. For two years running now the current Springboks have only lost two games out of 13.
I like how fast you learned rugby. We start playing rugby barefoot at the age of 5 or 6. All the boks have known and played with and against each other through the schools, universities, provinces and the best become Springboks... our national tream
USA rugby is on the right track. A few years from now they will be playing in the World Cup. I was watching the NRL on ESPN and I must say I was quiet impressed with what I saw. Thanks for the reaction video🙏🏽.
This game was a warmup, reminds me of a time we beat a school so bad that we used to ask our teammates who didnt score a try yet and passed to that guy to give the try.
As a South African. I felt the same as you when I watched South African against Korea in the Baseball world cup A long time ago. 8 - 0 bottom of the 4th inning for Korea...
If USA with all their resources and great althletes took rugby as seriously as they did football, they would be crazy good. They do play rugby and their 7's team are really on the up. But what really sets SA apart, is the fact that our 5 year old start with something called rip rugby. So our kids learn from a very young age, and rugby is a HUGE thing in our schools.
The try scorer is Brian Habana. The highest try scorer in Springbok history, also one of the fastest runners. The Ironman guy is Bismarck du Plessis. His name says it all. 😂 and btw the Springboks was between 2015 and 2018 in their worst form in Springbok history… But I like the USA 🇺🇸 team. They play with a lot of spirit and are disciplined to almost never get yellow or red cards.
The USA only recently started with their profesional legue called MLR. Also we are on of the best teams in the world and currently the best so maybe cut your guys some slack they did try and bring the game to us in 2015 but simply couldn't crack the best the defence in the world
That guy's usually the initial receiver and it turns into a maul when they gather 'round him. That could develop into a rolling maul when it starts to move, usually in the direction of the opposing team's tryline
I’m an American living in South Africa, USA playing SA IN RUGBY is like South Africa playing us in basketball- they are the best and we are decades behind
I am a South African and had more laughs at your comments than other games u have watched. I amend a team can bring a team of coaches to improve the USA game.
To be fair, USA put up a pretty good defensive effort ,all things considered. And in recent times the USA have improved their Rugby alot. Nowadays the Springboks are ranked at the Nr 1 team in the world, with back to back World Cup victories.
Look as a South African I always say. If the USA starts taking rugby more seriously they would be a force to recon with. The amount of talent and athletes in that country is unsurpassed by smaller nations like SA. However because of their NFL being somewhat of a religious following it will take years for them to take up more rugby. I also have to add the 7s is bringing the fans in USA something they like. Honestly it would be nice seeing the larger nations take up the sport. Just a last note. I think it was in 2007 world cup. The guy that you said scored 5 tries is Brian Habana. He was known as the fastest man in rugby at the stage and the USA winger outran him for a brilliant score. The USA winger was a zimbabwean but he scored for the Eagles none the less
Great video reaction, man ! You should check out the original speedster Bryan Habana , I believe he has scored the most tries for South Africa , especially in the world cups
"why can't we throw a ball to each other?" 😢😢😢😅😅😅😂😂😂 If the US prioritized rugby a bit they woukd be quite a force... I mean some of those NFL prospects could do something if they played rugby and American football from day one.
If you think they were good then, you should see them now. Two world cups back to back and magnificent performances after that against good teams. If only we could govern South Africa like we play Rugby.
As a S.A.'n I burned my springbok jersey in 2020 when the players were forced to take a knee. Our people are so patheticly in love when it comes to their sport that they would sign over their freedoms as long as they can watch the game on weekends...
South Africa is one of the best teams on the planet. It’s our sport. 😂. It’s like Europe and Football. Our local divisions (lions, sharks, bulls) are teams that win again against countries/national teams.
I would love to see the USA top Foot ball team play rugby against the Springboks in Rugby. Love to hear what the players would say about the different between the two sports
Don't right yourselves out just yet! I've been watching Major League Rugby and you guys have got some pretty solid US players in your ranks playing in teams like the Houston SaberCats, New England Free Jacks, Seattle Seawolves and Nola Gold. US rugby will become a force to recon with. With a little time and effort, Team USA could be in the top 5 world rankings.
The USA has the potential to be a real force to be reckoned with in Rugby. You just need to invest more and sign on a decent coaching team that has great experience. You have good players but they don't have someone that can assist in developing their rugby skills. The USA sevens rugby team is already doing a good job because it seems a lot of focus and attention went towards the sevens rugby tournaments. They just need to do the same with 15-men rugby as well.
God you are so freaking funny. Things have gotten better for the Land of the Free. Surely now they can hold their arm, not beat the Springbok but they can give them a run for their Rand.
The world cup belongs to 3 countries, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Rugby worl cup will always be won in the Southern Hemisphere that is what the legend says.
Also as a south African like you guys play NFL we do rugby we are known as the most feared team in the world. If I may go look at rugby big hit takkels and springbok rugby fights. Oja that helmet is not a helmet just a soft padding around the head it's a choice if we want to play with it the same with a mouth guard is a personal choice if we want to play with it or not
@ 2:32 you ask 'what is this guy in the middle?' Well better question is WHO? That is Bismarck Du Plessis, probably the best hooker (nr2) ever to play the game, also 1 of the hardest ever to play the game. Also, that guy that like you say scored 5 tried, that is Bryan Habana, probably the 2nd best ing of all time JUST behind Jona Lomu, he is the Springboks all time highest try scorer in tests and the all time 2nd highest test try scorer of all time
You've got completely the wrong reaction to the game. This was a huge learning opportunity for the USA team. The Springboks are right up there among the top two or three teams in world rugby, and at this moment (November 2024) are world champions. Rugby is not just the national game in South Africa, it's almost a religion. The USA had nothing to be ashamed of. They played with passion, they were all heart. But their skill and power levels could be no match for the Springboks. It won't always be like this. Rugby is gaining great popularity in the USA, and its only a matter of time before the national team starts achieving significant results. I've seen it happen with Italy and, even more markedly, Argentina. Rugby is a terrific game which unites nations, fans and players in camaraderie, unlike soccer which seems to end up with fans fighting eachother (in England and Europe anyhow).

As a S.A.'n I burned my springbok jersey in 2020 when the players were forced to take a knee. Our people are so patheticly in love when it comes to their sport that they would sign over their freedoms as long as they can watch the game on weekends...
In Rugby if there is a 5% difference in the teams that percentage seems to grow exponentially as the game goes on..
south africa my home we is good
South Africa is one of the best teams on the planet. It’s our sport. 😂. It’s like Europe and Football. Our local divisions (lions, sharks, bulls) are teams that win again against countries/national teams.
Oof sorry bout that bro 🤣, funny thing is I'm South African and never heard of this match till now but yeah, that was slaughter lol 👀
7foot has good vibe🙌✨🇺🇸
Springboks!! They are our Gladiators in Green & Gold 🇿🇦🇿🇦
You should watch the USA rugby 7’s team, they are actually pretty good!
Rugby getting bigger the world over, the US will be a behemoth in Rugby if you can promote it over in the states. Love....South Africa.
I would love to see the USA top Foot ball team play rugby against the Springboks in Rugby. Love to hear what the players would say about the different between the two sports
Don't right yourselves out just yet! I've been watching Major League Rugby and you guys have got some pretty solid US players in your ranks playing in teams like the Houston SaberCats, New England Free Jacks, Seattle Seawolves and Nola Gold. US rugby will become a force to recon with. With a little time and effort, Team USA could be in the top 5 world rankings.
The USA has the potential to be a real force to be reckoned with in Rugby. You just need to invest more and sign on a decent coaching team that has great experience. You have good players but they don't have someone that can assist in developing their rugby skills. The USA sevens rugby team is already doing a good job because it seems a lot of focus and attention went towards the sevens rugby tournaments. They just need to do the same with 15-men rugby as well.
God you are so freaking funny. Things have gotten better for the Land of the Free. Surely now they can hold their arm, not beat the Springbok but they can give them a run for their Rand.
"Gyaaat, look at that guy"....😂
The world cup belongs to 3 countries, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Rugby worl cup will always be won in the Southern Hemisphere that is what the legend says.
"Couldn't catch Couldn't if he tried" 😂😂😂
The irony is that 2015 was possibly our lowest point in Springbok history. We only started picking up again in 2018 and continuously improving.
That no 8 is "THOR" VERMEELEN... 😂
Also as a south African like you guys play NFL we do rugby we are known as the most feared team in the world.
If I may go look at rugby big hit takkels and springbok rugby fights.
Oja that helmet is not a helmet just a soft padding around the head it's a choice if we want to play with it the same with a mouth guard is a personal choice if we want to play with it or not
This was like a comedy show😂. I applaud America for trying.
@ 2:32 you ask 'what is this guy in the middle?' Well better question is WHO? That is Bismarck Du Plessis, probably the best hooker (nr2) ever to play the game, also 1 of the hardest ever to play the game. Also, that guy that like you say scored 5 tried, that is Bryan Habana, probably the 2nd best ing of all time JUST behind Jona Lomu, he is the Springboks all time highest try scorer in tests and the all time 2nd highest test try scorer of all time
You've got completely the wrong reaction to the game. This was a huge learning opportunity for the USA team. The Springboks are right up there among the top two or three teams in world rugby, and at this moment (November 2024) are world champions. Rugby is not just the national game in South Africa, it's almost a religion. The USA had nothing to be ashamed of. They played with passion, they were all heart. But their skill and power levels could be no match for the Springboks. It won't always be like this. Rugby is gaining great popularity in the USA, and its only a matter of time before the national team starts achieving significant results. I've seen it happen with Italy and, even more markedly, Argentina. Rugby is a terrific game which unites nations, fans and players in camaraderie, unlike soccer which seems to end up with fans fighting eachother (in England and Europe anyhow).
