*State Of Origin highlights: NSW vs QLD*. Origin is I’m gonna say the biggest clash in Australian history and is a huge part of our culture, it consists of 3 games played throughout the year. A New South Wales (NSW) team made up of the best players in the National Rugby League (NRL) that started playing at clubs in the state of NSW and a Queensland (QLD) team made up of the best players in the National Rugby League (NRL) that started playing at clubs in the state of QLD. Highly recommend this as a video and would be interesting to see what your take on it would be
@@doggoranger4016nah mate get outta here with that. Both of them are extremely challenging. Entertainment value is opinion, but to say union is less of a physical feat is stupid
Great reaction, Joel. I love all three codes of football played in Australia - Rugby Union, Rugby League and Australian Rules. As for the biggest difference between the two forms of rugby, basically Rugby Union is more in-your-face brute force whilst Rugby League is more speed and deception. I know the blokes in Union are bloody BIG and the "collisions" look bad, but the players don't often end up with serious injuries. Somehow the tackles in Rugby League and Aussie Rules are pound-for-pound much more brutal and the injuries more severe. Aussie rules and Rugby League players are on average much lighter and have much less fat and muscle on them than Rugby Union players, and they run faster. These two factors - leaner bodies and greater speed - result in greater chance of damage when two players collide. Feel free to disagree. One thing I am sure everyone will agree with is that all of them are tougher than gridiron players as all the hits are made WITHOUT padding (Sorry Joel, I had to throw that one in). Keep up the good work.
@@listey @MGL Yes, I am willing to concede that Union has more injuries than AFL. I think the statistics show that there are 1.5 times more injuries in the former compared to the latter. In Union collisions may be more severe in terms of the energy that goes into them but big union players just tend to absorb it. In League collisions however, the momentum (mass times velocity) or rather the change in momentum, which is equal to force, is often greater which lead to more damage, especially when there is less control. But I could be wrong. It depends on what aspect of the game you are looking at. In League, the defensive see has to retreat 10 metres after each tackle, allowing the next charging ball carrier space to accelerate before contacting another player, whilst in Union the static force applied in scrums is very high, which can lead to neck and shoulder injuries. Both forms of rugby result in concussive injuries as the head is one part of the body that does not have any protection, unless one is wearing a soft helmet which some players do. On the whole, rugby collisions may be brutal but they don’t result in more injuries than other common sports.
Sometimes they are fender benders and sometimes write-offs in all 3 codes. Tough men putting their bodies on the line for sports and team mates they love! Props to all the players from all clubs all over the world for the roller-coaster of emotions you let us share with you😁👍
Yup that Australia vs South Africa, we have the same sporting colors green & gold but Australia is green on a gold background & South Africa is gold on a green background. Best way I can explain that. Also if you didn't realise the fights in the game of Rugby, then that might be a great next video the figh5s are full on savage. Keep up the good work, I enjoy you're content mate.
Hey dude, I've been absolutely loving your Australian reaction videos (mainly cause I'm Australian) and must say your actually pretty good with the pronunciation of our words- one that I'd like to gift you with how to say is Aussie but you say it like Ozzy😉 P.S you've made my list of 'interesting people I'd have lunch with if I could choose anyone alive in the world today'. Keep the good stuff comin!
Jps you need to watch and react to New South Wales v Queensland state of origin rugby league. Commenced in the early eighties a best of three series its's mate against mate,state against state. Check out out any series between 1985 to 2000,you won't be dissapointed.
You should react to state of origin. It's rugby with QLD vs NSW. Two states going head to head in sets. So it's best of 3. So 3 individual games of the same teams playing each other and it's the best of the best!
@@aussiekat6379 Rugby Union suggest it now and again but there really isnt the public feeling for it. Besides, every year in Super Rugby, the first game in Australia always seems to be NSW v Qld.
yeah rugby is a hell of a sport, one time when I used to play me and another big kid had a collision which resulted with both of us out for the rest of the game, I got a dislocated shoulder and he couldn't get off the floor for a good 10 min, probably my highlight tackle of my 6 year career
This clip you are watching is Rugby Union & there are plenty of Rugby Union clips around online, if you also like to see another Rugby clip I think is more brutal than this clip, it's called Rugby Hits "Till i collapse" this clip is of Rugby League all the teams you see in "Till i collapse" are all Australian Rugby League teams have a look if your interested. Till i collapse video is all nothing but fights & brutal hits.
u gotta watch rugby league highlights, its a different mordernised version of rugby much smoother and easier to understand. It is extremely popular in australia and much more exciting. rugby union (what you just watched) is on the decline while rugby league is on the incline in australia.
It only just happened last night but I’d love to see your thoughts to the tragic event yesterday in Queensland from an Americans perspective. We had 4 police ger ambushed where 2 died (execution style) as well as a member of the public. It’s so heart breaking and so rare to happen; it’s a nationwide crisis. Deep condolences to the families ♥️ RIP
This event will totally change our interaction with other's in Australia 😶 Unfortunately trust shall become more systematic 😪 Awesome that you have brought this to attention & hopefully your insights are acknowledged 👌👍
@@darrenmarney8577 yes definitely, my dad is a senior constable in Australia (30 years on the job!) so it really hits hard after hearing the news, they were so young. We are suppose to be a happy and safe nation, all the push and hard locks we have on our guns and the laws felt as if it was thrown out the window yesterday 💔
Those sovereign citizen conspiracy theorists are friggen nutters. They should be taking down names for a watch list with all of the absolute arseholes I’ve seen commenting today about how they deserved it
It wasn't long ago that JPS made a video about Australia's gun laws, and how Australia hasn't had a mass shooting since 1996. This isn't a mass shooting, but it's still shocking that there is still gun crime out there.
Used to play this at school (primary and high) until my 5th left knee dislocation. Low and high tackles, eye gouging, punching each other in the scrum was all stuff that happened a fair bit (and a few small fights breaking out).
Hi - a suggestion - please watch our State Of Origin Rugby League videos from 1980's to the '90. These were played before the game started caring about head injuries etc.. lots of fights and very hard tackling. Cheers from Australia 🙂
I showed this video to an American friend that had never seen rugby before, but a big NFL fan, his first words where "dude? They all forgot to wear their pads??? The hell??" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed my ass off, told him we dont play sissy ball mate we dont need no pads 😜🤣🤙🇦🇺
I think Rugby League has some crazier highlights. Look up biggest hits, craziest tries or biggest fights in NRL. That's 3 videos of content right there aha. Great vid!
Rugby vs AFL is like army trench warfare vs air force jets dog fight. Rugby is a grind of constant pressure and explosions. Aussie rules is all motion and 360 degree maneuvering. Getting tackled or hit in Aussie rules is generally bad, in rugby getting hit and then laying off is an important tactic inside the game.
Tina Turner could not believe how our Aussie’s play Rugby without any protective clothing and so used her song Simply The Best for advertising the game. You should watch that ad.
What I have always found funny is in rugby the ball needs to hit the ground for a try or touchdown and yet in American football they call it a touch down yet the ball never hits the ground.
Australia’s traditional sporting colours for international events are generally green and gold fyi We’re not the only country to favour them but we are sometimes referred to as the green and gold The green is for the forests and crops and gold for beaches and wheat I believe
This was great lol I hadn't seen this compilation, you should check out "till I collapse - rugbys greatest hits" and i love a good blue so check out "State of Origin - best fights"
Hello Joel. This is Rugby Union, more popular in NZ, winners of the recent women's World Cup, which you could look at. In Australia Rugby League is more popular. They won the recent men's and women's World Cups. England won the wheelchair version. I kept asking you to check this in comments. There is a video explaining the difference between the two codes on TH-cam that Midwest Americans reacted to, which I reckon you should see as Rugby League is different and more in line with the character of down to earth Aussies and Northern English folk
Yes, there *are* a lot of rules in rugby, unlike AFL where v often there don't seem to be any, but here's the good news: you don't have to pick a favourite, because for the better part of 6 months of the year (when all three sports - yeah, there's another major ball-related code you haven't seen yet, and it isn't soccer/football which, while popular, is a distant enough 4th sport that it gets played in a hotter time of year) they are more or less scheduled that if you can't literally watch them all live, a replay isn't too far off for whatever one you missed. Which is probably why we don't take our politicians anywhere *near* as seriously as we take our sport...🤔
You know the old saw, "Rugby is the ruffians sport played by gentlemen. Football is the gentlemen's sport played by ruffians". Respect for the ref, and for opposing players is important in rugby, which is why foul tackles are uncommon. Tackles are below the shoulder; in junior schools below the chest level. So serious injuries are far less common than in football. In three generations, from me to my grandsons (22 boys in all), all have or do play rugby. Not a single broken bone. Serious injuries have happened, but in football, equestrian sports, lacrosse, surfing, and skiing - never in rugby!
There is Rugby the World form and NRL which is the National Rugby League of Australia. The 2 games are different insomuch as NRL is a faster free flowing affair.
I'm not really into rugby league but it's huge in Australia. People love it. What is worrying though is that there are no helmets in this sport unlike American football and as you can see some of those tackles are crazy. There should be some kind of rules with helmets or some type of protective head gear. Many have been injured or suffer the long term effects of having head injuries from the sport.
@@listey please let me know where you read that they cause more harm than good. I've just done a quick google to see if that was true and studies done by the NFL and on am edu.au govt website that says it does protect. I can't see where there are studies that say they do more harm than good and if it was true they would ban them.
@TaraSmithson sorry but you're wrong. A helmet doesn't stop brain trauma. It doesn't stop your brain from smashing into the side of your skull during a tackle. The above poster is correct, wearing a helmet is responsible for higher rates of brain trauma. The wearer will instinctively think they are protected so do less to mitigate impact, and the person tackling him thinks the same, they see the helmet and think it is protecting the head and will tackle harder because of it. It's a reverse cause and effect situation. People make the claim that NFL guys require a helmet and padding because they tackle so hard, the reality is they only tackle as hard as they do because they think the helmet and padding is going to protect them. The NFL has already admitted they have high levels of brain injury within their players. There was even a movie made about it, Concussion.
@@bennybooboo6789 can you please state where you have seen the research for this. Where it's been studied. Are you saying that they NFL studies and other official studies are wrong and that they are do more harm than good? It makes no sense that a game like NFL that makes ridiculous amounts of money and is a business would continue with helmets if they do more harm than good.
@TaraSmithson makes perfect sense when you realise the NFL knew about the excessive brain trauma and kept quiet about it because the brand makes a lot of money. The movie Concussion is your starting point.
One thing a lot of non aussies get confused with is 2 rugby football codes played in australia. Rugby union "Rugby" and Rugby League " NRL" . League is more popular than "Rugby"
The one where you asked if it was Australia. The two teams in that video were the South Africa springbok in the dark green and the orange yellow colour one is Australian wallabies. The black shirts are New Zealand All Blacks.
Need to do a reaction video to the NRL Australia’s rugby League New Zealand has a team in it too. They have hard hits both in the tackles an the fights. The women look like they hit harder the the men in some instances. Rugby league State of Origin between Queensland an New South Wales is a must see
you should suss Aussie TV shows, the 2 best of the best are "Housos" and "The Big Lez Show", man it would make my whole year if you reviewed either of them they're hilarious and you would love them
You want to see big hits watch State of Origin series. It's rugby league here in Australia with the best players in the NRL teams picked to represent their state. It's News South Wales "the blues Vs Queensland "maroons". You think this is hard just watch the State of Origin. It's best out of 3 games each year.
Was coming to say the same thing . Needs to go an look I Rugby League here in Australia , specially the state of origin series of em all. Hard hits both in tackles an fights . My cousin used to play for New South Wales
The rugby (both union and league) have changed a lot over the years... first were the blood rules in the 1980's, I mean I watched a match where they showed the team doctor literally stapling a guys forehead shut on the sidelines (lmao) but that all stopped, then they adjusted and enforced legal tackles (have to be below the shoulders and no pile driver tackles)... I too enjoy the sport more now.... there used to be a lot of 'biffo' back in the early days..... I'd much rather watch skill (still enjoy the occasional argy-bargy though lol). The referees/umpires can be legends too, taking absolutely no crap lol
Youre right New Zealand are ridiculously good at Rugby, the always produce class players, eg early 2000s you have Carlos Spencer (brilliant player) then hes replaced by Dan Carter (even better)
2:50 I was at this game It was payback for the guy in the clip previous The guy in yellow basically switched roles and got smashed by the South African causing fights
I live in Sydney and I've never cared for AFL, Rugby is my preference. Through the year I'll be cheering for my team, Penrith Panthers, but during the State of Origin I'm rooting for my State, New South Wales (AKA the Blues/Cockroaches) but then globally I root for Australia (The Wallabies, Green and Gold) especially love to watch South Africa and New Zealand as well
Hi Joel. Thanks for this. I really enjoy your channel. You might like to check out Joshua Tuisova and Jonah Lomu. Absolute legends and very fun and exciting to watch.
You have to remember these guys wear a thin laying off padding & when they get hit they feel it , not like NFL , which they have to much padding but they still feel it don't get me wrong , but it's not the same... AARON ROGER'S (GO PACKER'S) make me proud Jason from Australia , all the best & Merry Christmas to everybody & be safe ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I’m from WA and I’d say that AFL is a better sport (but we’re not really a rugby state). But to watch and comment on I’d say a sport that is solely Australian-Australia wide and that you don’t know the rules to, would be way more fun to watch 😅
just so you know this is rugby union the one thats really big in Australia in rugby league they are very similar to each other but league is more like nfl as in there is a tackle count
If you were to watch even a small part of a rugby match, you’re likely to fall into a coma due to extreme boredom. React to rugby League. Similar concept but much more exciting.
It's like your NFL but without the pads and helmets. Not big in my state but huge in two, New South Wales and Queensland. Those guys are heavy and fast.I really don't understand it.
This is international rugby union. Nrl is the more popular Australian sport being rugby league and the has always been the best national rugby league competition in the world.
Re: "was that against Australia?" Yes, yes it $!&# was....🤬 And not a club game - that was an international against the Springboks, which is the affectionate name for Sourh Africa. Australia is similarly known as the Wallabies and, as you picked up earlier, New Zealand's annoyingly talented national team are known as the All Blacks for their team uniform, and many other things for their consistent mastery of the game... skillful bastards....
Rugby is not very popular in Australia,Rugby league or NRL is popular a very different more brutal and rudimentary game. Rugby is big in Kiwi land AFL is big in the southern states and NRL big in NSW and QLD .To be fair you need to check out some Rugby league.
rugby shits all over AFL and thats coming from a guy who played both while growing up.i also played rugby league but union was my prefered sport simpley because its the best sport in the world
Suggest you get away from the cities and into the real Australia - the Outback. Here's a good story to react too: th-cam.com/video/5Op-eTY1Fbw/w-d-xo.html
You want to react to Rugby *League* not Rugby Union which this is. Rugby *Union* isn't popular in Australia but Rugby *League* is very popular. Till i collapse NRL big hits should be your next reaction. NRL is the Nation Rugby League competiton played in Australia. It's the equivalent to AFL while the stuff you are watching isn't.

Go Queensland !!

It makes no sense that a game like NFL that makes ridiculous amounts of money and is a business would continue with helmets if they do more harm than good.
@TaraSmithson makes perfect sense when you realise the NFL knew about the excessive brain trauma and kept quiet about it because the brand makes a lot of money. The movie Concussion is your starting point.
At 6:52 , the game was South Africa in green vs Australia in yellow.
7:00, yeah that's Australia Gold jerseys. Our national team the wallabies.
One thing a lot of non aussies get confused with is 2 rugby football codes played in australia. Rugby union "Rugby" and Rugby League " NRL" . League is more popular than "Rugby"
If you want some rugby fights (league, not union) do a search for State Of Origin fights. Some good compilations around.
The one where you asked if it was Australia. The two teams in that video were the South Africa springbok in the dark green and the orange yellow colour one is Australian wallabies. The black shirts are New Zealand All Blacks.
It's totally a great game of chess 👌
Need to do a reaction video to the NRL Australia’s rugby League New Zealand has a team in it too. They have hard hits both in the tackles an the fights. The women look like they hit harder the the men in some instances. Rugby league State of Origin between Queensland an New South Wales is a must see
You need to watch some Rugby League (NRL) videos
we play rough down here in the south pacific lol
Hey man you should check out Rugby League, which is also big in Australia
you should suss Aussie TV shows, the 2 best of the best are "Housos" and "The Big Lez Show", man it would make my whole year if you reviewed either of them they're hilarious and you would love them
You want to see big hits watch State of Origin series. It's rugby league here in Australia with the best players in the NRL teams picked to represent their state. It's News South Wales "the blues Vs Queensland "maroons".
You think this is hard just watch the State of Origin. It's best out of 3 games each year.
Was coming to say the same thing . Needs to go an look I Rugby League here in Australia , specially the state of origin series of em all. Hard hits both in tackles an fights . My cousin used to play for New South Wales
Depends also if you are watching Union or League.
The rugby (both union and league) have changed a lot over the years... first were the blood rules in the 1980's, I mean I watched a match where they showed the team doctor literally stapling a guys forehead shut on the sidelines (lmao) but that all stopped, then they adjusted and enforced legal tackles (have to be below the shoulders and no pile driver tackles)... I too enjoy the sport more now.... there used to be a lot of 'biffo' back in the early days..... I'd much rather watch skill (still enjoy the occasional argy-bargy though lol). The referees/umpires can be legends too, taking absolutely no crap lol
Should check out the State of Origin (NRL) if you haven't seen anything on it already
Youre right New Zealand are ridiculously good at Rugby, the always produce class players, eg early 2000s you have Carlos Spencer (brilliant player) then hes replaced by Dan Carter (even better)
2:50
I was at this game
It was payback for the guy in the clip previous
The guy in yellow basically switched roles and got smashed by the South African causing fights
This is Rugby Union aka “The Running Game” This is the game they play in Heaven.
I live in Sydney and I've never cared for AFL, Rugby is my preference. Through the year I'll be cheering for my team, Penrith Panthers, but during the State of Origin I'm rooting for my State, New South Wales (AKA the Blues/Cockroaches) but then globally I root for Australia (The Wallabies, Green and Gold) especially love to watch South Africa and New Zealand as well
Hi Joel. Thanks for this. I really enjoy your channel. You might like to check out Joshua Tuisova and Jonah Lomu. Absolute legends and very fun and exciting to watch.
You have to remember these guys wear a thin laying off padding & when they get hit they feel it , not like NFL , which they have to much padding but they still feel it don't get me wrong , but it's not the same... AARON ROGER'S (GO PACKER'S) make me proud Jason from Australia , all the best & Merry Christmas to everybody & be safe ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Gotta suss the punch ons they have in NRL there wild
@ 6:40 was South Africa v Australia... I'm sad that you didn't recognise the Green jerseys of the current World Champions 😞
i suggest NRL highlights or big hits just aussie team playing at each other
Dude should react to "Doing a Hopoate" video.
I’m from WA and I’d say that AFL is a better sport (but we’re not really a rugby state).
But to watch and comment on I’d say a sport that is solely Australian-Australia wide and that you don’t know the rules to, would be way more fun to watch 😅
Its easy, you dont have to have a favourite, you can have both lol
just so you know this is rugby union the one thats really big in Australia in rugby league they are very similar to each other but league is more like nfl as in there is a tackle count
Hi Joel agree with others. Take a look at Rugby Leauge games rather than Union. They are true gladiators in the sporting arena.😎😎😎
If you were to watch even a small part of a rugby match, you’re likely to fall into a coma due to extreme boredom. React to rugby League. Similar concept but much more exciting.
You have seen AFL and Rugby union! It is only fair you check out the greatest game of all: Rugby league. Like you channel also by the way.
Have a look at rugby league or NRL!
You need to checkout ruby league and the state of origin....
NRL is what you wanna watch on bro
Ruby till i collapse next
If you want to see some funny fights in rugby do some greatest fight complications of 1980s-1990s state of origin fights NSWvsQLD how good
Can you watch the fight between Gagai and Burton in the state of origin 2022 please
It's like your NFL but without the pads and helmets. Not big in my state but huge in two, New South Wales and Queensland. Those guys are heavy and fast.I really don't understand it.
U should check out state of origin
try Rugby League
React to nrl Aussie version
we don't wear helmets or shoulder pads either, it's all down to physical fitness and muscle conditioning.
Union? It's a private school boys game of rah rah. Real game is league.
Brutal game for thugs, I rarely watch Rugby! 😧 I'll watch some of this anyway out of respect! 🤨 Ok that was pretty skilful, and no blood! 😊👍
Come on Jen...everyone loves a bit of "thugby" and "footbrawl" every now and again😉
@@optimusmaximus9646🤔😁
🇿🇦South Africa though 😁
Watch the QLD vs NSW origin highlights
I think you need to watch Rugby League as opposed to Rugby Union - the hits are much bigger and brutal than Rugby Union or AFL.
clear of nfl im sorry but keep up the solid videos
This is international rugby union.
Nrl is the more popular Australian sport being rugby league and the has always been the best national rugby league competition in the world.
Re: "was that against Australia?" Yes, yes it $!&# was....🤬
And not a club game - that was an international against the Springboks, which is the affectionate name for Sourh Africa. Australia is similarly known as the Wallabies and, as you picked up earlier, New Zealand's annoyingly talented national team are known as the All Blacks for their team uniform, and many other things for their consistent mastery of the game... skillful bastards....
Rugby is not very popular in Australia,Rugby league or NRL is popular a very different more brutal and rudimentary game. Rugby is big in Kiwi land AFL is big in the southern states and NRL big in NSW and QLD .To be fair you need to check out some Rugby league.
You don't have to pick most Aussie's watch both
Actually we watch almost any sport🦘🇦🇺👍
8:59 react to josh addo Carr & latrell Mitchell
You need to watch “Rugby hits - Til I Collapse”. This version of rugby is soft compared to rugby league
rugby shits all over AFL and thats coming from a guy who played both while growing up.i also played rugby league but union was my prefered sport simpley because its the best sport in the world
100% agree, RU was always a bit more laid-back and less over-the-top for my liking..
Please react to the police shooting in Queensland Australia
Suggest you get away from the cities and into the real Australia - the Outback. Here's a good story to react too:
th-cam.com/video/5Op-eTY1Fbw/w-d-xo.html
The green and gold is south africa... They are the rugby World champions
Give me afl any day nrl Sydney Brisbane sport
You want to react to Rugby *League* not Rugby Union which this is. Rugby *Union* isn't popular in Australia but Rugby *League* is very popular.
Till i collapse NRL big hits should be your next reaction. NRL is the Nation Rugby League competiton played in Australia. It's the equivalent to AFL while the stuff you are watching isn't.
most winningest sports team in history btw 🇳🇿Aotearoa
