I signed up for my highschool rugby team today and I have no idea what I'm gonna do. I played defensive end for my football team so I might be a forward. Wish me luck boys
Yes, if you're a defensive player - you're better off as a forward.
If you like to push people around, the 'lock' position is probably best to suit your skills.
Declan Hegarty true, would like to know
howed it go
Bro in the winter season I play rugby as a flanker or prop, but in summer I just signed up with my local grid iron club and is training to be a defensive end

Noww I get it. I never understood why play never ends after someone is tackled. It actually made me mad. Rugby is cardio intense, my god.
It certainly is. But rather confusingly - there's two different kinds!

I was also wondering why it was never a foul when they handled the ball
I started rugby at 5 years old now I'm 15 and I know the rules perfectly, just notice it took me 10 years to learn them all 😂
Great!
Yes a 15 year old would never admit it took them 10 years to learn a game.
watching Ireland and England play today. my first time watching so I tuned into you to get some idea of what the heck is going on! I love watching this...I'm a new fan from Ohio, USA !!
Awesome, hope you enjoyed the game! Glad this video helps!
Best one I've ever seen. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you! Will be sharing this with others coming to watch our matches.
I have to say, thank you so much for your videos! I'm a person who can really get into watching any sport, Australian rules football and rugby union were sports that looked interesting but as a North American previous attempts to get into the sports failed because I didn't know the rules. But your videos have helped a lot and now I am looking forward to watching rugby union and Australian rules football!
Iran-Japan-Africa-America You're welcome! I'm glad that you find my videos useful. I try and make them as easy to understand as possible so that people can watch and play these sports. The next stage is to actually watch a few games and then the rules will become clear. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Thanks for the video. I am South African and have watched a few rugby games over the years but I never got all the rules. After this, I will enjoy the game even more than I do right now (and Yes, the video was helpful)
+Naamy1989 Thanks man, I'm glad this helped! I know how much South Africans love their rugby! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Just what I wanted - explaining rugby to a friend. Nice clear language, good video clips. Well done!
You finally added Union footage of the drop goal, good on you Ninh! aha
xAlexHDx1 I did!
I remade this video after I spoke too fast in the last video and I had better footage this time ... including an actual Union drop-goal.
Aha fair play!
My first rugby explainer. Very clean and beautiful--I will watch it again. a great foundation. Thank you!
Cool, thanks! Glad you like this video.

Thanks for another great video. I think us new American fans struggle with some of the more advanced rules of the game. In no particular order I think the rules that draw the most questions are: (1) what goes on at the bottom of the ruck and what governs the counter-ruck, (2) the different types of kicking into touch, and (3) why certain penalties are called when a scrum breaks down.
That doesn't just confuse Americans, it confuses any casual rugby watcher of any nationality. The scrums and rucks have become far too complex and they can often stop the free flowing nature of the game.
The ruck has a few simple rules:
- Don't use your hands to dig the ball out of the ruck
- Stay on your feet if you want to be involved
- Only enter the ruck from the front
The way to win the ball in a ruck is to push opposing players away from the ball and/or dig it out with your feet
There's three types of kicks into touch:
- kick during play: if you kick the ball into touch during live play, the other team gets the throw in at a lineout at the spot where the ball crossed the touch line
- 50-22: special type of touch kick where if you kick into touch from your own half into the opponent's 22, you get the ball at the lineout at the spot where the ball crossed the touchline.
- At a free kick: for any penalty more severe than a knock on or forward pass, the team awarded the penalty has the option to free kick down the field for territory gain. A free kick into touch awards the ball at the lineout to the team awarded the penalty.
The scrum has a bunch of penalties, but the main ones are
- no standing up
- no falling down/stay on your feet
- no "wheeling" the scrum: when a team pushes harder on one side more than the other and it results in the scrum rotating
Ya this one is great! I taught PE based on the NZ and Aussie 2015 World Cup final. I understood most of it but the ball placement in the ruck and scrum. Thanks much.
+jimboondawg Cool, thanks man. I'm glad this helped you out in your PE class. Any further questions, just ask. I (or any one of my loyal followers) will be more than happy to help! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Im from Hull and love football. But also like Rugby. Rugby League is awsome because of the two Hull clubs. But I prefer Union style of play as its similer to football. I'm very conflicted.
Don't be. It's very common to appreciate all kinds of sports, so long as you understand them.
I just started watching rugby and this video was very helpful,I know understand a lot more,thank you
Cool, glad this video helps!

I've been watching the Six Nations to try and get my head around the rules before the World Cup but I still get slightly confused about why players sometimes deliberately kick the ball out of bounds. Is this some sort of tactical thing or what?
Hi Henry 52
Excellent question!
If a player is awarded a penalty (but they're too far away from successfully scoring), they can choose to kick the ball in touch (out of the playing area).
The rules stipulate that after a Penalty, the team with the Penalty will retain possession of the ball. In this case, after the ball is kicked into touch - they are awarded a Line-Out from where the ball left the field of play.
Hope that helps? Be sure to share and subscribe :)
Ninh Ly Thanks for clearing that up, love all of your videos
Henry 52 Any time!
Henry 52 Additionally, if you're on your own side of your own 22 meter line ("in your own 22"), you can kick the ball out and get the lineout from where it went into touch, even if it's not a penalty. You'll see teams doing this quite often. However this only applies if the opposition brought the ball into your 22 to begin with. The most common time you'll see this is if the opposition kicker messes up and the ball doesn't make it into touch, the defending fly half or fullback will usually return the kick rather than run with the ball, as it's safer (unless he's a Kiwi. New Zealand will run with the ball in most circumstances because even their fullbacks are built like tanks).
You're not allowed to run back over your own 22, then kick the ball into touch. That'd be a lineout to your opponents from where you kicked the ball.
Hope that's not too confusing. :)
and sometimes territory is just more useful than possession
So well made, quick and easy to digest

Started playing rugby recently at/after school, very useful, I only vaguely knew the rules.
Ninh Ly the video of the penalty isn't a penalty, it is a conversion. Why? because when there is a penalty the players of the opposite team can't move.
I don't understand in touch
Thanks for the video! My state just got their first pro rugby team.
Cool - glad this video helps you understand the rules.
Wow! 😯 This is the clearest explanation of the basic rules of #Rugby. 👌 Thanks! 👍

Watched a game late last night (Highlanders Vs Blues or something like that) I work nights here in the US. Didn’t really understand what was going on but it was fun.
Very well explained
Thanks bro, much appreciated!
You should make a video about how top Rugby Union leagues and competitions are structured, and which are the top leagues. It can be very hard for outsiders (like myself) to make heads or tails of how that works
I'll consider it!
Thanks a lot man now i get a clearer perspective of the game

Cool - yeah Northampton Saints are alright. I'm not really a Premiership Rugby fan but this is a pretty cool picture to use.

@@stefanberg7929 Ummm who lost the last couple of derby's
As a high school rugby player in America this video will help me when someone asks: “isn’t it just like football?”
Great video. Especially at world cup time!

The best page if you want to know more about sports😍😍
just a note for people who don't really play rugby, you can play touch which instead of tackling is just touching the person below the waste area.
Just finished watching NRL Panthers vs. Broncos... and somethings was off... I thought rugby had changed the rules or somethings.... good to know it was only Australians being Australians.
It was a good game.
I signed up for school rugby for next year wish me luck lads
Good luck
Very nice! Now I understand some British books better.
Very informative and useful
Im a forward and love a good scrum
New rule changes have made things a lot simpler.
Every forward loves a good scrum I'm a forward to and I love it
awesome video! Thanks a lot!
I’m watching rugby more and more. It’s much better than NFL style football. Exciting, fast paced and most networks broadcast it without commercials just like soccer.
Yes, that's one of the benefits of watching Rugby.
Very helpful video, thank you.
Hi. Thanks for making this nice video! I still don't understand why sometimes players will just randomly kick it to the other team, when they have plenty of room to run it up the pitch.
An example of what confuses me is shown at the end of this video. The teams are kicking the ball back to the opposing team even though the player with the ball has plenty of room to run it upfield. Will you be kind enough to shed light on this? :)
Hi Kelly Delinger. Excellent question!
The 'kicking back and forth to each other' is very confusing for complete beginners to understand.
In Rugby Union, sometimes better field position is better than possession of the ball.
Teams will try to force the other team back in order to make them make a mistake at their end of the field (resulting in a penalty), in order to try and win the ball at their end of the field and having a shorter distance to run and score, or to give their team time to change formation going forward.
The kicking back and forth is almost like a little chess game to see who can get better field position or who can make the other team make a mistake (for example: knocking-on, which is common when catching kicks).
Hope that helps? Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
That helps immensely. Thanks very much for your speedy and thorough reply!
Kelly Delinger You're welcome! Any more questions, be sure to ask! :)
Thank you awesome sauce bro
I can die in peace now after I knew how does rugby work!
thanks for the video!
+saurav singh You're welcome man, I appreciate the comments on this Rugby Union video. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Having to memorise this for a Summative. Watched this 15 times now lol.
Can you please make a video on the finer rules of Rugby Union that are different to League?
I kinda did in the last video that you commented on, though probably not in as great a detail as you'd like. There isn't much of a demand for it, but if I get more I'll certainly consider it.
Questions. If a player doesn't have the ball and gets tackled (deliberately), is that allowed? And scrums are essentially only done when the ball goes in touch? Are rucks/mauls not also (technically) scrums?
You can not tackle a player without the ball. Doing so is dangerous and could result in you getting sent off the field with a ban.
A ruck and maul are very different to a scrum. A scrum only happens whena forward pass happens or when the team knocks the ball on. Then the 8 bigger players of each team lock together in a scrum which is a much more structured play. A ruck and maul happen in the middle of open play and anybody can join them. There can be any amount of people that compete in a ruck or a maul, but a scrum must have all 8 of your teams players in it and only happes after a stoppage of play.
Thanks, that helps a lot
!!
Helpful to new fan. Thanks
Great video thanks!
Thank you
Small correction mate, but conversions are taken from any distance in line with where the ball was grounded; it does not have to be 20m away. That might be Rugby League rule?
+Adi Mehta Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I used the 20m line as rule to keep things simple for a complete beginner to understand. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
No cricket
No football
No hockey
Only rugby....this is the sport which requires both mental and physical ability higher than any sport...fan from India.
Fair enough.
Well done👍
Thanks bro!
I'm an American and a rugby match is coming to a stadium very close to where I live. It only says "Rugby", not "Rugby Union" or "Rugby League". Based on another of Ninh's videos, simply "rugby" is probably union. That said, would I enjoy myself if I went to the game?
+Christopher Allen I think so. You have to keep an open mind about Rugby Union, as it's NOT like American Football. After watching a game or two, you'll appreciate the raw power it takes to play the game solidly for 80 minutes.
Now if you watch Rugby League - it's virtually a non-stop version of American Football ... kind of.
Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Christopher Allen Rugby is generally Rugby union... and you would LOVE a game... it's extremely physical and demanding. I play competitively at 57 years old... the second oldest in our club... and it takes a huge amount of work to stay in condition for it.
Cheers this helped as a beginner I didn't. Know much
No worries, glad this video helped!
Thanks
Perfect!
Thank you!
nice!!
Thanks bro.

Great vid
I find the number of rules that are not applied in rugby, most interesting. I played first class rugby in the 80's at position hooker. A. I recently read the rule that the ball should still be thrown into the scrum in the middle and straight. It simply does not get applied. Today the scrumhalf's can just as well throw the ball straight to his backline. This is funny. No art for the hooker to win a tight head. Teams should select three props. B. The rule is when any player throws the ball into a line out, his feet should be outside the playing field. I saw some players standing inside the line when they throw the ball in. C. At kick offs players are almost always in front of the ball, without action from referees. D. If the spot where a receiver of a ball receives the ball, is in front of the spot where the player passed the ball to him, it is a forward pass. Some "clever" people reason that the direction of the hands establish a forward pass or not. That is not the rule. It seems like a bit of chaos to me. Every rugby match I watch, these rules get broken all the time.
Best video

This is a crash course in betting super rugby due to America stopping ALL SPORTS due to the corona virus.. Now I gotta learn quickly on how to bet rugby!
There's better ways of making money on sports betting. Google 'court-siding'.
question, lets say theres a ruck, can the opposite team try get the ball off the team that has the ball?
U can but u have to enter from the front of the ruck and thats a place u don't want to be when the opposing players are protecting the ball.
I still don't understand what scrum is. He says that anyone can get the ball with that, but only if you push harder? Or if the ball just go out by your side?
How about videos explaining the positions of sports?
Not a bad idea. If I get enough demand, sure!
I’m sure that will happen once you post the first video. :)
cheers
Cheers

I play rugby league but I want to play union next year
You'll find that your skills will instantly be transferable. It's a different ball game and mindset though. Good luck with that bro!

Perfect timing :) 6nations!
Hi *****
I felt compelled to re-make this video, after I did the last video so badly. Also, Six Nations and World Cup coming up too.
Thanks for stopping by.
Bruh this sports sound fun and easy asf lol
Fun, yes.
Easy? Not so much.
I subbed and liked and rang da bell
Hell yeah!
Thanks bro.
Can anyone tell me what's illegal? Hits, scrum stuff, mauls stuff, punching, kicking etc...
There's a lot that's illegal, might be quicker downloading the rulebook rather than have someone explain it to you.
Hey Ninh, Is the Rugby ball can be use for Rugby League and Union?
Yes, they can both use the same ball.
As concerns the ruck : If a player steps over a ball and does not immediately engage an opponent he then MUST play the ball.
Yep.
Well actually you do need to slide on the ground with the ball you could just run and tap the ball on the ground
2:15
why would you keep kicking the ball away to the other team?
ninh who is your favourite ruby team
+michael mcmahon reilly
Rugby League - Wigan Warriors.
Rugby Union - I don't mind so long as they're entertaining.
+Ninh Ly rugby union Ireland rugby league I don't watch it more into union
Nice explanation! Although I don't fully understand the "knock on" rule :( Could you please say a few more word on this? Thank you
+Lev Levjesrcni Yes of course!
In Rugby (both kinds), you can run forwards with possession of the ball, and you may kick the ball forwards.
But any time the ball goes forwards that's not a kick or running with it, is considered knock on (which is against the rules).
So if you drop the ball and it goes forwards, it's a knock on.
If the ball bounces off your chest and it goes forward, it's a knock on.
If the ball is deflected off your arm from a bad pass and it goes forward, it's a knock on, etc.
Hope that helps? Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly
Thank you! All clear regarding "knock on". ...However, I have one more question. Is there a situation in rugby similar to an off-side in soccer?
Lev Levjesrcni
Yes there is. There's several situations where there is offside in Rugby. Just type in 'offside in Rugby' and you'll get diagrams explaining this. Hope that helps?
@@NinhLyUK The ball must come off the hand or arm to be a knock-on. Law 11:3 "A player must not intentionally knock the ball forward with hand or arm."
I like rugby union around the world to XV Team
I’m here for homework from my pe teacher (he’s extra ) thx for the video

If I lived in the England, this would be the sport for me. It looks like the most interesting and toughest sport that English people plays. I just think they should start wearing helmets, looks like they can get some serious head injuries.
+Michael Willuz Believe it or not, the debate about helmets has been occurring more recently as concussions have been more commonplace. Having said that, it'd take a monumental change of attitudes to allow Rugby players to wear hardened helmets like they do in American Football. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Michael Willuz Helmets will never be worn...
England? Union is played on all continents at high levels.
Why do teams kick the ball long to their opponents like at 2:20?
Sometimes field position is better than possession of the ball.
They'll boot it away to force the opposing team back.
Looks exciting but I'm still confused. Lol. Still can't tell who has the advantage or when there about to score cud they just kick down the field to the other team. Lol
+BlazetheCreative I replied to one of your other comments regarding this fact. To an outsider - teams booting the ball back and forth to each other seems pointless - but they are jostling for field position. And as earlier mentioned: field position is sometimes better than possession of the ball. Hope that helps? Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly I started getting by the end of the match or game. It became more exciting the more I understood. Thanks for your help
BlazetheCreative You're welcome, be sure to share this video!
You should have explained the more subtle rules like offside or not rolling away or or not releasing the ball or player being off his feet and obstruction, to the untrained eye it would seem that rugby union is all about doing that
My videos work because I keep it simple for a complete beginner to understand - and I do this by not explaining every rule and nuance.
If you know what offside is, then you really don't need this video.
@@NinhLyUK yeah that's right, I get your point mate, good job on the videos mate, good info for beginners
