Rugby is a sport that has constant rule changes. In this video we take a look at the differences between the game in the 70s and now. #Rugby #RetroRugby #RugbyClassics
Thanks for this video. If you're still looking for video suggestions, i think it would be cool to see a complain of trick plays/sneaky set pieces. Also a compilation of chip and chases, interceptions, and charged down kicks. Those could all be a video of there own or you can do a series of them where each video has one or two of each and then the part 2 has a few more and so on. Thanks again :)
yeah scrums never need resetting now it always comes out clean and refs never penalize scrums anymore. And what is wrong with competing at the lineout?. at least in the 70s you couldn't confuse between the 13 aside code either....evolution my arse...
OLD I was rarely beaten in the air at lineouts. NOW players can be lifted. OLD A player on the ground would get rucked out of a pile up along with the ball (it was like going through a threshing machine but fun). NOW you 'd be sent off for stamping. OLD You never went off, even with an injury, as you could not be replaced. NOW It has turned into a squad game.
Or the proliferation of head injuries and the yawning sameness of play or the disappearance of rucks and mauls as defiined by the Laws but lost in translation by referees, or the lack of space in which the ball may be run or passed, etc. I played for 19 years. I would not allow a son/daughter of mine to play what is now a game taught as "collision" first and skills a very distant second.
@@Winnepausakee "yawning sameness" lol meanwhile old rugby scorelines regularly ended 3-6. Look at any rugby match until the mid 90s. It was all complete helter skelter. Nothing but ill-placed kicks, half the passes are dropped, and half the play results in a scrum.
ruclips.net/video/P7I2bor8aw8/видео.html Case in point. Line out, scrum, kick, repeat that 6 times, then 2 phases, knock-on or turnover in the ruck, kick, line out, scrum, repeat some more. And this is supposed to be a classic match. No wonder rugby league became a thing.

Also size has got bigger. Each players looks much heavier than back then.
You watch the french defence in the opening minnutes of the 1976 grand slam decider with Wales .....Ferocious is a understatement.

70’s rugby more open today size matters I could never play rugby today,apart from being 75!!!! I just would not be bulky enough
fights are much better with today's high definition 😂

scrums use to be a good part of the game now they're killing it

Imagine a game between a modern team vs a 70’s team 🤣
The modern rugby team would be crying in the punchups
Is basically the same but without roids
The kick offs
Funny to make a comparison and not talk about tackles

Players' bodies have become taller and narrower in the last two or three decades.
