    MLR, COLLEGE RUGBY, HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY! There are ALREADY people who play rugby in the US. It's great to see MORE people getting into the sport here in the US. However, as someone who loves playing and watching rugby in the US, it's a little annoying to pretend that no one in the whole nation plays this amazing sport. There is an amazing community of people who play and are passionate about the game here in the US all over the nation. I wish these videos would highlight that as well instead of painting the whole nation as newbies. Much love.

      Fair enough. I have known about Rugby for over 30 years in America. Growing up playing football until I was in my early 20s, I always wanted to play Rugby but never had a place or league to play in. I mean there was a league on the local Navy base, but I was unable to make it or could never find out where/when the practices were. You are right, While more people in America know about rugby it isn't as popular as NFL, NCAA football or basketball or even NHL Hockey. I am from the South and Football comes right after God and Family, It is a religion and will be hard to replace, plus there is more money to be made in all 4 major sports as a pro, so you would have to be brought up on Rugby to want to play just for the love of it.

    I played all the American sports with my brothers and friends growing up. Never played Rugby, but it looked like fun. I found myself in London in '90. I had just turned 35 y/o. I met some Rugby people through a friend and we hit it off, so my initiation and painful learning curve began! I had a ball though, loved playing winger when I started out and scored some great tries. Once I kinda knew what I was doing and stared initiating contact, they moved me in, to Flanker. The linebacker of rugby.....Then I played some Lock, as I joined the giants of the forward pack. When I came back to the States, I played for 5 more years with SFGGRFC, a top national club in the Bay Area. We had a lot of players who played most sports and we all loved it. Lotsa of lights out Kiwi's, Aussie's and Irish players who grew up in the sport as well. Plus, you have around 75 buddies on the team and the social part of the game is awesome! Not to mention the hotties really dig it and you too! Thanks for this vid!! I always thought USA could be a powerhouse in international Rug, so..... C'mon, Young American Men!! It's a blast!!

No one knew the sport was discontinued in the Olympics in the 1920's, but the USA had won the last two! Rugby being the father of American football and all.....Now Rugby is back and we have qualifying national Sevens teams playing for the medals.

    In my youth, 25 years ago, I quit playing American Football to play Rugby.. personally, I must say that playing Back at 🏉 requires much more athleticism than playing WR at 🏈 .. overall, I think Rugby requires more versatility than Football. Would be interesting to do the experiment in the opposite way - convert Rugby players to Football (remember when the Dallas Cowboys offered a contract to Jonah Lomu in the 90's?), which I think would be easier..

    • @puppethound
      @puppethound 2 года назад +1

      It feel it would be easier for NFL players to transition to Rugby and be successful than vice versa. I mean take the top 25 athletes from the NFL and teach them Rugby for a year, pit them against Rugby league/union team and while yes they will get destroyed, I think they at least score and make some big plays, while on the other hand if you took the best 25 players from say the English premiership and put them into the NFL, they would get smashed. The linemen (props and hookers) would be way under sized and most of the team would be so slow. I mean you have some fast players in Rugby, but they are small in size, the NFL on the other hand has fast, strong, and big players. The biggest difference I see when it comes to Rugby vs. NFL is that Rugby has more well rounded athletes and two-way players. While Tom Brady is an amazing QB, He would be such a liability on defense or anything else for that matter. He is so slow and can only throw the ball. Would be fun to see though, but while both sports have their athletes, I think the transition from NFL to Rugby would be easier for former's players.

      When the AB's played the US, one of the commentators called it correctly. He said the reason the AB's were so good was that the played and learned the game from the age of kids. Developing what could be termed "rugby IQ" takes time and the best training is to get them young and train them as they grow through the grades.

    As an American, I want this to succeed in America. Rugby is so fun to watch. I just recently started watching and I love it. It reminds me of what Football was in America in the 70s, 80s and 90s, so much action, always moving, no commercials. While the game is tough, it seems playable without all the intent to literally kill the other player and while there is respect in the NFL and NCAA, these rugby leagues and union players always respect each other and the refs and vice versa. Amazing game.

      There are many islanders born and raised in the US who play rugby. The USA National team has, and has always had, strong Islander representation. There are large Islander communities in California and Washington State.
      The all time record try scorer for the US national team is a Tongan born baggage handler at SF airport called Vaea Anitoni.

      @@croulantroulant3082you played rugby for 10 years, I played rugby for 30 years of my life and 15 years of it as a professional rugby player, it doesn't mean I can I see the future. US is the sleeping giant of the rugby world 🌎. They have the money and resources and abundant talents to take them through and completely change the rugby world. Japan 15's team were a losing team just a few years ago playing in the Pacific Nations Cup but now they're considered a tier 1 team competing in tier one super rugby franchise and even beating tier 1 world class teams like South Africa, Wales etc etc why? Because they have the money, resources and abundant talents to do so, build rugby academies, contracting top world class players to be added into their local rugby franchise, higher top rugby world cup winning coaches etc etc thus developing immensely locally and setting up rugby academies for grass roots level in junior high, middle school, college etc etc. Learning the skills, techniques, etc etc. USA most certainly can do the same and way much more

      @@sbrother176 Japan beat Scotland way back in 89. Wales in 2013. Their progress has been a long time coming. anyways I'm not saying the US will not get better, but they won't become a "giant" in rugby or football. Never. Because they don't have the culture at the heart of these sports. Money and athletic qualities is not enough. You have to grow up in that culture to really live and breathe the sport and excel.
