This guy is probably the best referee in any sport EVER!!!

You always have to remember, these guys might be fierce rivals on the pitch in an international match, but best buddies on the same team when playing for their club. Even if they're not, players & fans always respect the opposition, & acknowledge their skill. 2015 Rugby world cup, England v Australia @ Twickenham (the home of rugby). I'm standing right next to the Aussie fans, & queueing with them for beers. The Wallabies destroyed us on the pitch, but it was a privilege to watch a master team completely outplay us. I had a great laugh with the Aussie guys & thoroughly enjoyed the day (even if it was the wrong result for me).

Salut à toi et à tous les Américains ! Regarde la défense de fou d'antoine Dupont contre l'Irlande ! Tu comprendras ce que la volonté peut faire au delà de la force ! Amitiés

coach you need to watch some rugby league like great britain versus australia in a test match, will open your eyes much faster than union and a lot tougher

One thing missing on the video about scoring a goal. The ball must be kicked. It can't be touched by any player on the field and you can't score an own goal like in soccer. If the defending team kicks it through the goal. It is a behind. The score line in the video is 20- this is the goals and the 10- is the behinds. 20x6= 120 + 10 behinds = 130.

The kick on goal during the play and not after a faul or a try seems easy... but the difficult part of it is that during the play to score in that way the ball has to touch the ground and you have to kick it just after it bounces. It's called DROP KICK.

Love him saying this rugby not soccer let’s act like it. Nigel is true the best at what he does because he explains why he did what he did and commands respect not because he asks for it but by his actions he’s so fair any country verses any other country will be. Refereed the correct way.

Proper no nonsense ref he'll be missed by everyone, firm but fair.

Too complicated for us northerners. If ur American, watch rugby league. Easy to follow, and number one sport in Australia. Pure athleticism.

3:47 this specific kick scoring calls a drop goal. The kicker drop the ball to the ground and kick with the first bounce to travel between the post for 3 points. The kick after a try score is called a conversion which gives 2 points

Rugby teaches respect and team spirit. There are no stars in rugby, just the team. Good play from either side is applauded. The referee is god and is there to protect the game and the players. We support the game first and the team second.

Imagine if American football players learned to lateral as well as they pass in rugby union! They would have to work on the stamina but aiming for longer plays would really throw out their opponents

A humble and beautiful soul gone way too soon.

In NEW ZEALAND Rugby is NOT a game, its a Religion

AFL was created as a way to keep australian crickters fit during crickets off season, waaaay back in the 1850's

NZ born and raised... of Tongan heritage

AFL codified 1859. Rugby codified 1845.

If you want to see pure respect player to player look at why Rob Burrows of Leeds Rhinos (Rugby League player from England)is so respected.

One moment that wasn't captured was the moment before the Ireland v New Zealand game at Soldiers Field, Chicago. Most will remember it, but for those who don't, when the All Blacks lined up to perform the Haka, the Irish squad formed a perfect Number 8 on the other side of the half-way line and then held that formation, in honour of "Axel" Foley, the Munster former player and coach, who had died suddenly just a few days earlier. And then the Irish went out and beat the All Blacks for the first time in history. Now THAT was respect. That was a major milestone in the development of what, in recent years, has become consistently a team in the top three or four in the world. ruclips.net/video/nTIVGM9OxWs/видео.htmlsi=DcYfQNMIs_oaK7B5

Why did the makers of that video choose to include the smirking Owen Farrell in a video about respect? That short clip stood out like a sore thumb. He showed NO respect in that moment.

Unlike American football it is an "actual sport" it has endurance, real running, talented passing, fast passed action, real universal skills (by all players) and two teams that are "fighting" each other non stop to win the game! No time outs, no separate clean uniformed offensive and defensive teams that get subbed in and out, no pads and no helmets with little their little cloths on their wastes to wipe their hands or a dedicated kicker who only comes on to kick a ball directly in front of the posts!

I read they play Rugby Union at West Point and Annapolis

You should have a look at rugby sevens. It's got a bit more pace than league or union

I met him in 2005 when he visited the Cardiff Kidney unit, very humble, very nice and absolutely massive. Nothing was too much trouble and all the kids loved him, RIP Jonah 🙏 respect Jako 🙏

From playing barefoot league in primary school, all the way up to international level, the losing team will always make a tunnel off the field and clap the winners through. These would then form a second tunnel and clap the losing team through. You will never see this after a football (soccer) match.

Nope both the same in league and union. No wimping pads I these games.

Blood? That's okay the game is ritualised battle.

Soccer (football) players spend the entire game trying to convince the ref that they are grievously injured because someone stepped on their shadow, while rugby players say they are fine and can play on, this blood leaking from somewhere is no big deal.

Another great part of the respect that players show for the game, the opposition and the referee, is the respect that the supporters show for each other and this togetherness spills over to the supporters. After a game, it is quite usual that the respective supporters all go to the same bars and pubs and share the experience together.

Christopher !!

4:50 - "Ah - Christopher!" _stares_ "Thank you."

You play hard, but the moment the whistle goes at the end of the game....It teaches respect for your opponent and the referee, discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork and self-confidence. Well, it did all of those things for me

Subscribed in hope you check out some Rungby Leaguebas well not Jusy Rugby Union

Is a single sentence...Rugby is family❤😮

Nigel Owen’s is and has always been an English hating racist. However this inadequate little man has been allowed to make his non stop racist comments and get away with his racism absolutely stuns me. You only need to see and to listen to the many non stop racist comments he has made towards English rugby players. No decent fair minded person will say his comments are not racist.

It states in this video that Hurley is an Irish sport ... which is true ... partially. Hurley IS the Irish version of an ages-old Celtic sport. The Scottish version (played without the sissy helmets) is called Shinty. The stick used in Shinty is a completely different and is called a caman. It's a man's game and played mainly in the Highlands and on the west coast. ruclips.net/video/Os7jvv36Yfk/видео.html

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen unlike football/soccer that is a gentleman's game played by thugs.

Sportsmanship and mutual respect are a given expectation in Rugby ( etc) any player who looses self control or violently attacks anyone will not only be dealt with by the refs,his team mates,fans n club...( career ending!) but if irrevicable damage done t opponant it is possible f police t charge n prosecute the aggressor! Honourable conduct in sports is prevelant in the u.k. psychi !

You want dazzling skills ? Look at some clips of the England Women’s Rugby team (“the Red Roses”) !

Rugby has a place for every body type. The fat kid ( prop,) the lanky tall kid ( lock) the strong kid loosie. The fast kid, wing, the kicking kid 10. The passing kid 13 As a coach often the 3 smartest kids who can play are 2 7 and 10

A game to watch you ask? Try watching a Showdown, it is currently one of the most intense rivalries in the game.

My dad has a great story from his university days. The rugby team he played for played a pretty rough side from the countryside. At the end of the game, one of the other side approached Dad's teammates and wanted to fight him. Unfortunately for the guy, Dad's teammate was a champion boxer at school and laid him out with one punch. Dad's team was making a quick escape when the guys from other side laughed and said "Hey, guys, no hard feelings, come and have a few beers". The aggression stays on the field.

These guys are all fit. 2x40 minutes of running and tackling. All different sizes and specialities, no stars, only a team. The best thing is that the referee is God! What they say goes.. Without rules, this game is lethal, this is why the ref’s authority is seldom challenged.

Its rare to see rugby players argue with the ref

I believe America has over 2000 rugby union clubs.

Watch Australian State of Origin league games, New South Wales vs Queensland, for 40 minutes a half for insane intensity and aggression from the first play.😱

Rugby isn't tougher than American football, it's multiple times tougher. I played school rugby and in the second team, in a lower league, and still broke bones, dislocated joints, stitches, scars and head injuries... tell me this happens anywhere else BUT rugby and I will laugh.

Rugby is a gentleman's sport. Tradition and respect are key.

Watch the Barbarians try v New Zealand. Considered the best try ever by some.

Awesome ref . That's all the info required. Here in rugby his personal life is his and only his . In rugby we care about what a person does and how well they do it . .
