french players are known for their flair and showy tries, but usually their defence and discipline lets them down, the former wales defence coach shaun edwards has taken over the french defence and now they are one of the hardest teams to score against, lots of people are tipping them to win the next world cup which is in france so they have a home advantage as well.
Not sure if you have seen it but England v Scotland 2019 six nations is possibly game of the decade
Antoine Dupont is always where he's supposed to be. No mistakes, high game IQ, not especially flashy or some, but key player.
BTW France defense is now considered as one of the toughest to beat.
Goal line defense being one of the most dramatic and suspens moments in a match, whatever you're supporting the attacking team or the defensive one.
Defender being tackle in his try zone means dead ball. Reset and kick from the 22's.
Note that the rule has changed, from now if a defender is tackled in his try zone and ground the ball the kick is done from the goal line.
Being a Wales fan, this was the hardest defeat I’ve ever had to take. I could’ve said the 2011 World Cup semi but I was too young to remember it
about your question at 7.23: scrum for Wales at 5m of the line
I'm welsh .... gutted should have won this game , but fare do to France worthy winners . 2022 best side in the tournament.
Looked like a definite French hand under that Welsh try holding the ball off the ground to me to be honest.
Yes it was, but British nations are arbitrated by British referee
Tackled outside their try zone, ball carried back in by attacking team into their own try zone and grounded, 5 metre scrum to the defence.
Ball kicked forward into the try area by the attacking team and its grounded by the defence in their try area, 22 drop out kick to the defence.
Ball carried into opposition try area but Ball held up by defence, goal line drop out kick to the defence.
Defending players tackled behind own try line -
Tackled and ground the ball then defending team restarts play with drop kick from 22 line
Doesn’t ground ball attacking team gets scrum put in 5 metres out
Defending player over own try line and gets tackled 5 meters scrum regardless of whether they touch it down or not ( attack put in)
The red card was to Willemse the French Lock they did not show it very well here but I remember it being shown from the other side. He came in at the side and 'cleared out' the Welsh captain, Wyn-Jones, from the ruck with an illegal 'neck roll' AND made contact with the prop’s eyes as well. Either of those offences is a red card offence and there are no replacements for players sent off.
A yellow card leads to a player being sent to the 'sin bin' for ten minutes of actual playing time. The one given to Toby Faletau around 71 mins for offside was probably an 'accumulative' offence. When Liam Williams was yellow-carded it meant Wales had no full back.
If it is a front row forward sent off, you are permitted to take off another player and bring on a replacement front-rower, because only players who are trained and registered as front row forwards are permitted to play there. If a team runs out of uninjured front row forwards then the referee calls for 'uncontested scrums' which is awful, but fortunately doesn't happen very often.
Wyn Jones isn’t the Welsh captain
@@coreywilliams8768 He was captain in the 2017 6 ,Nations.
Ps. I'm not talking about the prop Wyn Jones who was not in the 2017 Welsh squad
@@rocketrabble6737 the prop is the only one named Wyn Jones in the Welsh squad
@@coreywilliams8768 I think he is referring to Alun Wyn Jones rather than Wyn Jones 🤣
@@leonbrooks2107 I know he is. It’s just bugs me. Most capped player ever, one of the most successful European players ever and people can’t even get his name right!
the red was because when "cleaning" the opposition, he did catch the opposing player by the head (hand to the head = red) and worse, he had his finger in the eyes of the player
Nice to see how much you're getting into it. It's nice to see someone enjoying the game and not just the big tackles. You might like some of the videos around the sportsmanship in the game as well as it really shows the respect that the players have for each other, the referees and the game.
Hey i'm late but the answer to your question at 7:14 is : in this match it was a 5 meters scrum for the offense if you ground the ball in your try zone if the ball was already in, if your go into your try zone with the ball and then you ground it, it's a try for the other team. If the ball goes over the field through the try zone, it's a dead ball and then it depends of who put it out :) Another new rule that you need to know is that since august 2021 if you can prevent the opponent to ground the ball and mark the try, you take the ball back and make a 22m drop kik (the ball need to touch the ground before you touch it with your foot). Since august 2021, if you ground the try in your own try zone, it's a 22m drop kik too. These new rules reward good defense.
At 9:26 you can see that the french player put his finger into the eye of the waIes player, so red card even if it's not volunteer
I hope you understand what I wrote, I'm watching you from France ;)
There's another game between France and Wales during the 6 nations 2018 which lasted up to 100 minutes. The last play of the game lasted 20 minutes ! You should take a look ;)
France v Scotland 2021 6 nations, great game also. I am a Wales fan Scotland win at the death and Wales win 6 nations championship.
That amazing kick was from Justin Tipuric, who plays open-side flanker. It’s rare for a forward to kick, especially as well as he does. He has all the skills to play at centre. As rugby has developed forwards are now expected to have much better ball skills than the old-school brutes did. Backs are bigger now too, so the positions are becoming more generalised.
71% of the Earth is covered by water, the rest is covered by Justin Tipuric ;)
Nice analysis
As a Welshman it was heartbreaking but we still won the Six Nations in the end so have definitely moved on.
5:20 - The chip n chase tactic, looks great, but you're playing the odds that the ball is going to bounce favourably when it bounces. it can either bounce well like it did in this instance, or it could shoot off in some other direction the kicker isn't expecting, making it potentially unplayable, or giving posession to the other team.
6:45 - If the Welshman can get the ball away from the Frenchman legally, and place downward pressure on the ball, it's a try. But if the Frenchman gets tackled and he dots the ball down himself, it goes for a 22m drop kick (by France). However, there's 1 thing that can also happen - if the French carry the ball over their own try line and then dot it down, it'll be a scrum at 5m to Wales, as you can only dot the ball down in your own try area if the ball came off the opposition
9:30 - The French are now down to 14 men for the rest of the match, but they can send someone in as a replacement if the person who was sent off is in a vital position (like Hooker - #2, or pretty much any of the forwards, as they're needed for scrums and other set-pieces). But they're still only allowed a maximum of 14 players, and the one sent off for a red card, is not allowed back on, and most likely (depending on the tournament) will receive a 1 match ban as well. Yellow cards, you're off the field for 10 mins of playtime (stoppage time not included). If the game has less than 10 minutes to go, they just go straight to the changing rooms.
Also, as a side-note: Wales tend to scramble like crazy when they lose 1 man, never mind 2, so they start making unforced errors, and this gave France the way in. If it wasn't for that penalty with 3 a minute or so to play, they would have gone on to win.
Heineken cup 2010. Perpenan vs Scarlets
u can find the full game on youtube im pretty sure
Liam Williams given yellow card and replay shows harsh decision as he was not off his feet. Unfortunately, these decisions wins games. The recent rule changes with rugby they are losing many fans. France now has the best defence coach in the world, the former Wales defence coach Shuan Edwards was the catalyst for Wales success for 10 years.
Of course
Getting tackled behind your own try line is also one of the big differences between league and union. In league it means 6 more tackles for the attacking team so it is a common play for the attacking team to trap you behind the line for sustained pressure
Watch wales v england 2013 wales were awesome but the ground atmosphere you'll never find anywhere was there hair on the back of my neck stood up m8
"What would happen if..."
It depends, who put the ball in goal.
If the attacking team puts the ball in-goal and it is grounded or made dead by the defenders it is like a football "safety" but there are no points awarded. The defending team is allowed to drop kick the ball across the 22. The attacking (field position) team can stand at the 22 and without crossing it attempt to block the kick. Usually the kickers stand back when they kick.
If the defending team puts the ball into their own goal and it becomes dead the attacking team is awarded a scrum 5M from goal inline where the ball became dead.
The TMO's decision here is based upon what the ref asks. Say the ref believes a try was scored (like here) he ask, "Is there any reason I cannot award a try?" In this case the TMO needs clear proof the ref was wrong.
The Red Card
You cannot intentionally go off your feet in the vicinity of a ruck. Especially when you bury the ball.
You're watching highlights.
You have no idea, other than scoring, what play has been like. I don't remember but, if France had been penalized for this often, had been warned to STOP doing it, yet here they are doing it again, what's a ref to do?
Here's a nice 'story' about rugby in the USA
th-cam.com/video/qorAUOrKIH0/w-d-xo.html
There is a game which has, arguably, the best ever try in rugby. It was scored by Gareth Edwards in a game for the Barbarians against New Zealand in 1973. The whole game is a treat to watch, too.
5m scrum if you are tackled behind your try line, I think.
Sorry typo on last point, meant to say carried back over own try line
You have to watch the last France vs New Zealand bro!
France vs Scotland 2021 is a really good match also
Plus an absolute classic from 2019 England vs Scotland 35-35 what a game that was!
When I saw Wales/France I thought it would be the one of +100 minute from 2017. Can't remember if the game was any good, just that I couldn't sit down for the last 20 min.
9:25 the red card is because the french player grabbed the face of the Wales guy (and by the same time put his finger near/ in his eye) and that's considerate as a dangerous play, and as now referee have been told to be sever with dangerous plays, it's a red card
If a player is tackled behind his own goal line it is a scrum down on the 5-metre line with the put-in to the attacking team
@@deeperanddown If the attackers take it over the line (except for penalty or drop attempt) and a defender forces it, it's a goal-line drop out. Doesn't have to be under the posts.
@@deeperanddown It depends on how the player came into possession.
Franch are a strange rugby nation at their best they can beat the ABs and Boks but for a nation with so much rugby talent they haven’t ever actually achieve that much
Check your facts, mate. 3 WC finals, including one stolen by the referee in 2011. France also won 25 5/6 Nations since their first win in 1954, no one does better (Wales : 21, England : 16, Ireland : 6, Scotland : 6).
Hey mate I like what you are doing. Watch more games especially test rugby. The reason why you are seeing more defensive lines is that is a test match and it is Northern Hemisphere Rugby. Southern hemisphere Rugby tends to be more attacking. The French can be the most attacking team in the world. But they can be very ill disciplined.
Attacking team tackled behind try line is now a line goal drop kick, defender tackled behind own try line lose possession and face a 5 meter scrum.
If you start with the ball in front of the try line and get driven back and forced to place the ball in the in-goal it's a 5-metre scrum for the other team.
You must watch the England v Scotland game played in 2019
I already did lol what a match!
Hello buddy, Ive been really impressed with your enthusiasm for the game and really enjoyed your reactions. I would suggest maybe looking into some of the rules surrounding the break down (when a tackle has been made). I think it would help with understanding a lot of the penalties which are extremely important in rugby. Also look into the terminology i.e. the difference between a ruck, maul and scrum as the distinction is crucial in union and you misname the forms of contact quite often. Perhaps make a video explaining this. Anyway, keep up the good work!!! I will look forward to your next upload.
There are plenty of Full Matches on You Tube, from 6 Nations, World Cups and Rugby Championships. It's the best way to learn more about the game as you can enjoy it without the editing and with usually good commentary.
Wales v ireland 2012 was a game exactly as intense as this match. Wales v scotland 2010 wasn't overall a classic but the last 10 min of the match you couldn't script and the noise level was deafening till the last whistle was blown. Cant remember the year but scotland v England 38 - 38 game was a great watch. Wales v England in 1999 was an amazing ending. Not a full game but there's 2 videos which show back to back incidents between a penalty they are listed as wales epic defence part 1 and wales epic defence part 2.
To answer your question if a player is tackled behind his own try line what happens? It depends if the team with the ball take the ball behind their own try line and is then tackled then it is a scrum 5 meters out to the other team but if say the other team kicks the ball behind their try line and is tackled that would then be a 22 drop out for the team with the ball but this would rarely happen because they team that collected the kick would usually just tap the ball down on their own try line which out give them the 22 drop out anyway without getting tackled
You should watch the follow up game of France vs Scotland. And watch Squidge Rugby's video on it to explain more
Should I watch the highlights or squidges video?
@@BlakeHC squidge would give a very in depth analysis of the match, as well as some backstory. So it might be worth it
Ur welcome mate
The extended highlights of the France vs Scotland game from a week after the Wales match is well worth a watch, though at 17 minutes might be a bit long for a video. If so then just watch the last 5 minutes, I believe the game is avaliable pirated on TH-cam.
Highlights link: th-cam.com/video/6kbT6Rc46LQ/w-d-xo.html
Full match link, go from 1:51:00: th-cam.com/video/fNRQh4wz4YU/w-d-xo.html
Those extended highlights are better so you can get more gameplay/tactics. You should try and watch one of the full games in the Autumn nations between the big teams. Also, you might already know this but just in case: you have a choice of what to do in a penalty. You can kick from the tee for 3 points or you can kick for the touchline out of hand and you get the ball back because it’s a penalty so are able to advance down the pitch. (You can also opt for a scrum or tap the ball and just start running although most the time this isn’t as beneficial as the other two.
6:56 Wales would be able restart play with a scrum 5m back from the try line
Best back and forth game is tricky. But certainly England Vs Scotland. 6 Nations 2019. Try to find the longest highlights, it is really fantastic. I love watching it.
I've already reacted to this one 😎 Go check it out bro!
@@BlakeHC I saw! Doh!!! Thanks for the reply
6 nations 2021 was a great tournament with lots of tight matches, although the pandemic meant empty stadiums they are good games for newbies to learn from as you can pick up everything the ref says.
As a Welsh fan this was hard to take.. But somehow losing this type of game to France doesn't seem so bad as we have stolen plenty
of games off them like this! I went to the toilet thinking we would win came back and we had lost😁😁 But we still ended up Champions after a truly awful year!
You see a lot of good plays come out of the chip and chase but at the exact same time it wouldn’t make the highlights if it wasn’t a good play and when you watch it in an actual game it works about 50% of the time it’s just the other 50% doesn’t make the highlights
If you ground the ball behind your own goal line, the rule up until this year had always been that the other team would get an attacking scrum 5 meters out (ie they get to put the ball into the scrum) which is a very good attacking position, good chance to score off it.
This year, however, they've changed that rule (it's experimental mind you, so it may revert back next year). The new rule is what's called a line drop out. It's actually what they do in League, so rugby has essentially borrowed it from league. Very simple - if you ground the ball in your own in-goal area, you must drop kick it from your goal line, under the posts. The kick needs to go 10 meters at least (I think - can't actually remember the exact distance.... it's kinda irrelevant, teams just kick it as far as they can).
Also, I notice you referring to rucks as scrums. Important to distinguish the 2. A ruck is what happens when a player is tackled and there are bodies on the ground. Every time a player is tackled, basically, a ruck is formed. These are not scrums. A scrum is a set piece, like a line out. A scrum happens after a knock on or forward pass. A scrum involves all 8 forwards from each team essentially crashing into each other at the ref's command. Then one team puts the ball into the middle for their hooker to hook back on their side.
Hope that made sense.
The kick doesn't have to be from under the posts. It can be anywhere along the goal line.
@@newremote Didn't realise, good to know. Do you know how far it needs to go?
@@Youre It has to go 5 metres. The 22 drop-out is only after the ball is forced following a missed penalty or drop goal attempt.
One to watch - Bristol bears vs Harlequins, semi-final 19th of June
I suggested Eng vs Scot 6Ns from 2019. But this game is also incredible. Watched it live and it was fabulous.
Hey Blake, tomorrow at around 3pm in USA, the All Blacks will play USA. Just in case you want to catch some Live rugby, light up the grill and crack a few cold ones its tradition 😉
1:05
You've got to watch this one: th-cam.com/video/6imyND287jg/w-d-xo.html
SA vs NZ - 101st match between the 2 countries - last round of the Rugby Championship 2021. For a nail-biting game, you can't get much better than this!
I already have a reaction of that match out! Go watch and let me know what you think!
@@BlakeHC LOL. I don't know why I didn't remember that you did that one - I even commented on it at the time 🤣
New rules have changed with red cards ,
Yellow card , - a man down for 10 mins
Red card - a man down for 20 mins but a new player can be subbed on instead of player that was red carded
Not sure if the same rules are used in northern hemisphere.
No it's still the old "out with you, damn your team" rule
Dupont, the French scrum half, who scored the second French try was the player of the 6 Nations tournament this year.
i thought it was hamish watson of scotland, dupont is the best number 9 in the world at the moment though no doubt.
I think this would be useful to watch in your own time: th-cam.com/video/2TLdgmjhV_Y/w-d-xo.html. It explains the kicking rules quite nicely. Obviously it’s important to note on a Penalty you can kick it straight out from anywhere and you get the ball back.
France got the bonus point for scoring 4 tries, but Wales got a losing bonus point by being within 7 points of France's score. In the end that Wales BP put pressure on France to win their last game by a huge margin rather than France simply having to just win.
If you're looking for a full match from a time when rugby was an amateur sport, here is the 1975 test between Scotland and the All Blacks, also known as the 'Submarine Test." Surely one of the wettest tests ever played. th-cam.com/video/bVQTczeM4WA/w-d-xo.html You'll find the rules somewhat different; the scrums pack down incredibly quickly compared to today, for instance.
Hi Blake, I'm glad you enjoyed this game… it was a great game. I highly recommend you watch the one that was payed just a month ago between France and New Zealand (link below). This match is even more impressive in intensity, speed, and beauty. The best rugby match of all 2021 !
Enjoy!
th-cam.com/video/Y9svZmtwZy8/w-d-xo.html
wales should have won this, mistakes let us down
One of the better games if not the best game of the tournament.
Not sure if you do whole games. But the Japan Vs South Africa game 2015 is I suppose THE game to watch.
th-cam.com/video/gZ6g3uLxYRc/w-d-xo.html
It's with English commentary even though the text of the title is Mostly Japanese.
Cheers
Great match but a pity that so many of the tries were just short range pick and drive from a yard out. There's too many tries of this sort being scored these days.
Wales push France beyond there try line and France ground the ball on there try line oposing side will have a scrum 5
Watch England 10-France 53...
If frace take the ball over there own try line and tackled scrum 5 to the attacking side otherwise drop out 22
Yeah funny old game this was. If i can remember there was a bit of frustration with this game as we (Wales) were playing this for a Grandslam. But questions were asked with France as they broke lockdown rules meaning they couldn't play Scotland, so it got postponed meaning France had played one less game and actually had a massive recovery time over Wales. So Wales were playing their 5th and last game but France were only playing their 4th. The France v Scotland game was played later in the month after all other games had been played.
if tackled in your own end results in a 5 metre scrum for attacking team
Not sure if you've seen much rugby league but if you like cheslin kolbe then you'd like Shaun Johnson's highlights

Why don't you start playing yourself mate? You'll love it!
The French are very unpredictable and you never know which French side pitches up on match day. They can beat you by 20 points or they can lose by 20 points, it really is a coin flip with them.
This is 'historically" correct.
I have a feeling this French team plans on showing up every time.
Scary thought.
Shaun Edwards has definitely made a difference to them so far on the defensive side.
We lost 2 world cup finals, because we were not enough disciplined in defense, but, France was always the team who did the beautiful tries😂✌️Now, we are good in attack, and defense, and the World cup is in France in September 😂Watch it, we will win this time😂✌️Peace from France bro 👍
Watch France/New Zealand 2021
Yellow card 10 minutes out of the game
