I started playing rugby at 11, I was taught to tackle and how to be tackled, I’m 70 this year and I’m still here! There are no downs; unlike NFL the game doesn’t stop when the ball touches the ground. Rugby is a continuous, flowing game and until there is an infringement the game continues. It can sometimes stop for an injury, but not always, then also if the ball goes out of the area of play and also infringements. Women’s rugby is excellent, very hard and fast. You’d be best watching a video of the laws of the game. The Six Nations tournament is on at this time (basically the European Championship), so you could catch up with that for interest.
The age depends on the school...my boy is 3 years old and started in the rugby academy. They learn basic ball skills etc. At age 7/8 it's full contact. Especially in countries like South Africa, NZ and Australia they start early...
Then we confuse them with the 2 different codes union and league 😂😂
Form tackling, though
Union's not free flowing, the ball's only in play for around 30 mins per game.
Same here, 11 year old kid on a half grass, half mud school field in winter. If in doubt, kick it out.
I grew up in New Zealand and rugby is big there so I am so desensitised to the violence and see it as normal 😄
The jumping up in the air thing is how the game restarts after the ball goes out of bounds called a line out
The lift-lineout became legal in rugby in 1999 - before that, the two lines of teams had to jump unassisted
The inventer of Basketball was from a Rugby background- so the lineout is very similar to the tip off
This Saturday Feb 24th at 16:45 UK time England play Scotland at Rugby as part of the 6 nations tournament which is currently taking place. This is also the Calcutta Cup game, the oldest international game in rugby. The 6 nations is an annual rugby tournament bewtween; England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France & Italy.
hi guys as a now 63 year old woman i played rugby from age 13 and the best match all year was the mixed boys and girls against the teachers . at 4 ft 9 and weighing 87 lbs the teachers called me the terrier as i always got their legs lol
Love Rugby. This version is called rugby union. There's also rugby league as well which has specified plays or downs as you call it.
In Rugby the team plays until they either score or lose the ball. Scoring can be done via tries (touchdowns) or penalty kicks at goal.
perfectly legal to drag someone by the shirt off the field . A score is called a try . And you then get to kick for a conversion similar to when you score a touch down and you get to kick for an extra point . Some basic rules . You can only kick forward, but when passing the ball from the hand, the pass has to be backwards from where you release the ball . Tackles have to be below the neck, and you have to attempt to wrap the opponent, which means you have to attempt to wrap your arm around the opponent as if you were attempting to hug the opponent you cant just do like a close line . Thats why they usually duck low to tackle because if you wrap the legs its easier to bring the opponent down . A scrummage is when you have the 2 packs from each team ( a pack consists usually of the 8 biggest men on each team ). They duck into like pyramid formation consisting of 3 at the front , 3 in the second row and 2 behind . The idea of the scrummage is the 2 packs push against each other and the ball then gets thrown into the middle of the scummage and the idea is to hook the ball backwards for your own team to then have possession of the ball . The ball can be turned over to the ooposition when a player is tackled he has to release the ball straight away the opposition can then lean over and pick up the ball but they cant step over the man who was tackled to pick up the ball he has to stay on his feet and try and lean over the tackled player to get the ball . Thats why when you see a player thats tackled he always tries to land facing his own team to give them a better chance of retrieving the ball and make it harder for the opposition player to retrieve the ball . Turn overs are quiet common in rugby because lots of fouls are committed in rugby, and that usually results in penalties, which then give the ball to the opposition .
Correction my dear sir. You can kick the ball in any direction, not just forward. Your arms are the only part of your body where the ball has to be passed back.
"KNOCK-ON LAWS": For a knock-on, the ball must come off the hands or arms, not any other part of the body, not the head, not the stomach, not the chest, etc.
Also, there are 2 players in the second row of a scrum (the locks) and 3 in the back row (2 flankers and the No. 8).
There's an Australian rugby league tournament being held in Las Vegas on March 2nd. There's a promotional video on RUclips where they explain all the rules for the US audience. This will be first class rugby and you guys should defintely give it a watch.
True and its easy to understand because its rugby for dummies so the rules are very simple
League stops all the time although not quite as much as American football.
The flowing game that we are watching here is rugby union.
@@Damoinion hardly like union is flowing rugby is it with scrums, penalties and lineouts all breaking play up. Then of course, you also have your kicking tennis that only happens in union which is an absolute snooze fest.
League a tiny spot on the international sporting scene. Las Vegas changed nothing in that respect
@@Damoinionreally ? How come the ball is longer in play in a league match .
A touchdown in rugby is called a try, but unlike a touchdown where you just need to run over the line, in rugby you have to place the ball on the ground with controlled downward pressure. I would recommend watching the rules of rugby for a complete understanding of the game. Awesome reactions you two.
My son when he was 12 played in the under 13’s local rugby. One of his team mates dislocated his finger. He came to the sidelines and asked the coach to reset it so he could carry on. The coach said I can’t I’m not allowed to it needs to be done properly by a medical person. He said show me how to do it so I can reset it myself. True story.
My eldest niece played rugby throughout her teens and early twenties she spent a couple of years working for Scottish rugby as a youth development officer traveling around schools encouraging other young girls to try the sport. The game helped Improve every aspect of her life she went from a shy nervous child who would always avoid confrontation to a confident and forceful young woman who could lead and train the young men and women she coached and played with and had no problem facing down male coaches twice her age and twice her size. The lack of money and career opportunities in the sport have since forced her to pursue other opportunities but she's still proud of her contribution and passionate about the game.
Excellent, love from Cymru
I played rugby league for under 6’s when I was 4 in Australia and played rugby when I was 6 in New Zealand and now I am fourteen
That was Gorden Tallis dragging the other player across the out line in what looks to be the state of origin rugby league match, and yes you can do that if your strong enough.
Kids in Australia can start playing rugby at around 6. It's all very different and safe of course but that's the start age. Loving the rugby videos. There are some great videos of people who can step and carve up the opposition too. Great work guys. So many great players to have a look at.
As a South African we both I think respect the sport to its core best game to play .
I played left flanker when I was younger. I was 10 stone and the fastest guy on the pitch, it was rare I got hit but i got flattened like a pancake whenever I did 🤣 that shit took the wind out of you
Were you a flanker or a wing? Because 10 stones apparently is 64 kg, and that's extremely light for a flanker.
I've played rugby since I was 7 in South-Africa. Played for about 20 years and only have 3 concussions to list on my injury sheet. Muscles protect better than plastic lol😅
Same here, just didn’t have any injuries in over 30 years playing but I guess having always been the biggest loose head on the field helped a bit preventing injuries.🇿🇦
@@silvertongue3003 yeah, I went the other direction 😅. Being the fastest on the field accomplishes the same goal 🤣.. Except for 3 times 🤣
Awe my bra
My son is 16 and 3 boys in his year have already had 2 concussions each. Rugby is much harder hitting these days than in the past. My son and many of his classmates all go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week. Players are bigger, stronger and faster than they used to be. Any slight miscalculation in the tackle can lead to injury or concussion. In my sons class, there have been the following injuries (among other less serious ones): broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, broken leg requiring surgery as well as the already mentioned concussions. The boys all play in the schools cup rugby competition. Notwithstanding the improved safety rules, It is truly more dangerous than it used to be because of the size, power and fitness levels of the players.
why plastic ?
Asia & BJ, please react to the Springboks on Die Hard Rugby, hailed as one of the most FEARED national teams in the 🌎, alongside the All Blacks...
Only feared because they have been the dirtiest major international team….
@@jonathanrichards4584 lmao...you mean the most prolific team in the history of the rugby world cup, yet having competed in less than the other nations
My boy is 3 years old and started the basics at the rugby academy here in South Africa.....they teach them ball skills and how to tackle at this age.....
I played a game in a tournament about 30 years ago. I was hit so hard in that game that I can STILL feel it today! 😂
Rugby may be brutal at times but I still think it's safer than the nfl when it comes to brain injuries. Pain is a natural response and allows you to gage your limits, but when nfl players clash helmets they don't feel the physical effects until its too late
A touchdown in Rugby is called a try and they actually have to touch the ball on the ground to score, unlike a touchdown which you dont actually have to touch the ball down. The reason it is scored a try is because in the early days of rugby the try did not score anything all it did was enable you to take a kick and try to score a point by kicking the ball over the posts from opposite where you placed the ball on the ground(we now call that a conversion). now a try scores points and the conversion also scores points
In Rugby 🏉 anything above your chest is a “Hospital” catch! It’s not a touchdown it’s called a “Try”. Greatest team sport to ever exist
LOL 😂
it is a TRY when they score
Yes it is.
It comes from the history of the game, originally, you wouldn't score points with a try, you were only allowed to try to convert it with a kick (like in gridiron football), which was scoring the points..
So you needed to make a try, and then convert it to score.
The game evolved over the decades and now the try is worth 5 points (but still called a try) and the conversion is worth 2 points.
Played rugby league and union since i was about 6, at higher ages and open age to is a requirement to wear gum shields to help limit shock to your neck n spine and obviously teeth when you have a big collision. One of the first things you get taught is HOW to tackle and HOW to take a tackle safely. It is a very fun game to play and helped me alot with controlling agression.
Rugby for beginners: a guide to the rules of rugby union ( England Rugby RUclips channel )
i highly recommend you to watch above mentioned video so you can better understand this beautiful game. when you watch this type of video (biggest hits,tackles,skills) again you will see that some of the tackles in these videos are illegal. most of the times rugby player fights happen when illegal contacts/tackles are being made. you guys are awesome and wholesome.
A number of countries have so much depth and talent every game is 100% or you arent selected to play again. These guys star young, get good base fitness, good physique, good awareness, good skills. It's from this pool stars are born, countries outside USA people dream to play Football, Rugby (Union or League), Basketball, Cricket just to name a few. When you are young you quickly learn which one is meant for you I competed in a few sports at top level in New Zealand. In all sports I suffered by pushing myself to extremes knowing the others were also, it wasn't about money it was collective suffering for the team you suffered you knew dam well the others in the team were also. Good coach, good players the dream lives on.
A touch down is called a try, but the ball has to actually touch the ground whilst 'under control' so you have to actually touch the ball down over the try line (score line)
I started playing rugby when I got to secondary school,I was 11, and I played until I was in my 50's, it gave me fitness,discipline and friendships that have lasted.
Watched last years world cup for the first time and i was blown away. What a great sport.
The move where people lift each other up is a line up. From the side lines. It’s after the ball get lost over the side line. The scrum half (who feeds the ball in to the scrum) throws it and the rest of the scrum players jump. There are set calls to indicate where the ball is going to be thrown. It’s like the throw in UK football - socket. The scrum has three at the front row - a left and right prop ( the biggest players on the field usually) with a slightly smaller player in middle. The hooker, his job is to hang between the props and hook the ball rear of the scrum to be picked up and played to the wing. The second row has four big buggers with one in the Center back of the formation. He can sometimes grab the ball and peel off if the field is open. A dominant scrum wins the game. The scrum is given in the event of a foul or knock forward ets.
Look up Rugby scrums, rucks and mauls. Players 1 to 9 are the scrum and are the key, dominance in this is the game winner.
I started playing in grade 6 and continued until 2 years after high school. 2 concussions, fractured thumbs, dislocated shoulder, fractured ankle and a slipped disc in my neck.
Only reason I stopped playing is because of the slipped disc, otherwise I'd still be playing.
Rugby is physical, violent and the best team sport you'll ever find. Besides, you're putting your body in a car wreck every weekend. It's awesome
PLAYED RUGBY, BACK IN THE '70S. GOOD LORD IM NOT SMALL, BUT I WAS KILLED EVERY WEEK! IM 75, AWSOME EXPERIENCE
Even the announcers are aggressive 😂
That's because all of them played rugby. Remember that aggression is part of the game and encouraged. It's not violence, which is not tolerated in the game!
@@garethm4800 I never said it was violence. I was just laughing at how into the game they are and I like it.
@@Letha-Mae I know you didn't... Just wanted to clear that up for any new viewers to this great game, lol.
@@garethm4800 oh you're fine thank you for letting me know
At minute 4:26 u guys miss the moment..in rugby if you hold and drop it in front it will be fumble and penalty will be given to the opponent. The only way you can send the ball forward is by kicking so he caught the ball on the line at top speed, accidentally drop the ball so kick it before hitting the ground so it would not count as fumble and caught it for a 5 point try. That's an awesome move right there
To score a "Try" ( Touchdown ) the ball must be placed over the Try Line with downward pressure
One of the good things about rugby is that there is a position that you can play at no matter your size forwards tend towards big and strong backs need to be fast.
When the ball is placed over the touch line, it’s a try (TD). Where they lift, the man high in the air is called a line out.
When I played ‘local rugby, my skipper had a mantra “if you’re on the ground, you are the ground” a shoeing was a regular occurrence, and as a back rower a bit of a ‘badge of honour’!
Ireland is an island with roughly six million inhabitants. Ruby is maybe our third major sport, as Gaelic sports not played outside Ireland are one and two. Yet we were number one in the world for a while, right up until recently. Not too shabby for a small island. It's how you build them.
No doubt but you guys have had more than 100 years of practice and you're not the only island nation to rank number one in the world🤷🏽♂️
I was never that great at rugby but made the high school team as a flanker. Still remember being in a hell of a lot of pain a week after the game lol😂
3:39 absolutely legal providing you don't release them, you can tackle & take out of bounds to force a turnover... It could be a "high tackle" but absolutely if you start the tackle low & don't release it's fine.
I played rugby from age 11 until I was 27. I'm 68 now. I played before it turned professional. I had to retire when I broke my back. Luckily, the spinal cord was not damaged and I made a full recovery. In all the years I played I only had three serious injuries. Of course I had quite a few minor ones like a broken wrist, broken ribs four times, broken nose three times, broken fingers and a couple of lost teeth and so on. Apart from the back, the other two were a broken leg (Tibia and Fibula) that required a plate and screws and a broken elbow which also required screws. Fantastic sport to play.
As a kid in New Zealand, it's almost like second nature to take up Rugby. We do it for so long our bodies become conditioned to the heavy contact. And at one stage, it was kind of legal to stomp someone with your boots/cleats if they were lying in the way. 😂😂
Most of these hits / tackles would be yellow or red cards in todays game. Need to see more rugby from Super rugby and the All Blacks if you want to see some of the best!
This comment is for Asia , in New Zealand young children play a non-contact version called Touch Rugby which has become popular with adults as well often with men and women playing together on the field, there is no tackling and is great for developing fast footwork dodging other players. Basically if the opposing player taps you with their hand the game stops. Full contact rugby is discouraged for most children under 10. The UK and Australia have something similar as do other countries no doubt so you would not have to be worried about your child getting injured . I played cricket and hockey as a kid not rugby butt it is a wonderful sport for keeping fit and having fun with team mates no matter your age
The team In Green dragging the other dudes around like that are The Springboks. South Africa. We've been Rugby World Champions since 2019. We start doing that at age 6 in Bulletjie Rugby (Little Bulls Rugby.)
A while back we played a particular style of rugby called Stampkar Rugby (Bumper Cars Rugby) which was pretty much big hits, bashing the opponents senseless and just plainly dragging them around just because we could. But World Rugby quickly changed the rules to make most of that illegal because the other teams started crying a bit😂
I started playing rugby at 5, in the 70s there weren't rugby boots small enough so we played barefoot, I played until I was 20, had kids, I started playing again at 33yrs and into my mid 40s, I stuffed up a tackle and shattered c5 c6 c7 and had to retire playing
Aussie here...also have a look at NRL farewell Tribute to Greg Inglis one of the bestu I have ever seen.
One of Australia's Greats in any code.
Started in 1980 I was 6 we learnt early and played as long as we could. And now we watch it, love it, live it, and we will play again in heaven.
I'm 32 years from South Africa still playing rugby only broke my right wrist, broke collar bone & 2 concussions still playing now
hello a touch down is called a try in rugby, that jumping part is a line out which happens when the all goes out the sideline, play keeps going until there is a penalty knock on or the ball goes out, it is physical but you get your body used to it playing all the time, but damn you feel it the next day when you get hit hard!!
"Most brutal sport in the world : rugby."
MMA be like : 😏😘
I mean it's brutal but you should watch MMA/Muay Thai sometimes.
4:20 it's called a Try and worth 4-5 points depending union or league.
We have rugby in primary school (6-12 Years )... High school (13-18 Years) and in University.. Play only stops when a try is scored, a foul/penalty is conceded or the ball crosses the dead ball line. Training is everyday and the team compete against each other every weekend...
The tackel where the player was dragged across the field was only legal due to the dragged player not stopping movement, the tackle is complete once movement has stopped, big gordon tallas clowned the man with that drag across the out of bounds line, was great to watch
If your recording with OBS you can separate your MIC and Desktop audio, for when you put it on the timeline of your editing software. So in Audio Mixer, click on the 3 dots and click advanced audio properties, then you should see tracks with Box's 1-6, both for MIC and Audio Untick 2-3-4-5-6 for MIC and Untick 1-3-4-5-6 for audio.
So MIC should only have Box 2 ticked and audio should only have Box 1 ticked, now after recording, when you place the recording on the timeline, you should see both audio's, SO.. any copywrite music or audio you find, you can cut out.. with out losing, your MIC audio.
NZ All black Sir Wayne "buck" Shelford will always be a rugby football legend because of the 80s game against France, 10 mins into the game he went into a "aggressive maul" where he lost 3 teeth and a French boot tore his scrotum, leaving one testicle exposed, he went to the sideline to have it stitched up and went back on to continue playing
I played Rugby union for my school at the age of thirteen a long long time ago.And I played for my works team at the IMI Birmingham hear in England. A works team, sometimes also referred to as factory team and company team, is a sports team that is financed and run by a manufacturer or other business.Have a look at Rugby for beginners: a guide to the rules of rugby union.Cheers and stay safe.
PeterDay81: Was that the IMI in Witton, by any chance? I worked there for a while.
@@liamoconnor9487 Yes it was I'm originally from Erdington.That was back in the 70's.
@@PeterDay81Small world. I moved to Slade Road in the 70s. Used to drink in the Stockland pub.
Started playing full tackle rugby at age six in South Africa. It is no wonder that we have hardest defence team in the world.
The "lifting thing" is during a lineout, like a throw in in football(soccer) there are also rucks and mauls, they`re all part of the contest for the ball.
Started playing when I was 9....stopped at 22....injured.....what a surprise! Check out Jason Robinson......England / British and Irish Lions who only tour every 4 yrs.....to Aus,NZ or SA......a mix of Scotland,Ireland, Wales and Enland players.......amazing highlights put there...
It is called a try,which equates to 5 points. It must be dotted down in the touch goal area, which we call after the try line.
Mother of 3 rugby boys here. All 3 started playing when they were 3. My eldest twins played in what we call the u/20 currycup (south African provincial teams playing against one another), they were also in a very competitive rugby school. Both still play aged 21. Both are props. The worse I jury any of my kids ever had, was a broken arm, due to falling on it during a tackle. That's it. No concussions, maybe some stitches here and there, but really nothing major. There bodies are trained for this. We have a saying that they have to be match fit, meaning if someone comes back from an Injury, they first have to do certain rehab to get them ready to actually play in a game again.
I started when i was 12 from South Africa, I was in the front row, "tight head". My coach just told me to grab the ball and just run the opposite direction. Stop when you hear the whistle. Ruby is the best Spring Boks are the world camps. The GREEN and GOLD.
If you are lucky, you will start playing at 5/6 years old. The earlier, the better! Seriously, it's got to be the best team sport in the world. The culture is all around humility, good sportsmanship and manners! As cannonballing as it looks, when the final whistle blows, hands are shaken and drinks are shared with lots of smiles and laughter!
Basic rules....
Pass sideways or backwards.
When tackling or being tackled.....you must release the ball or man straight away
When tackling...you must wrap your arms....no shoulder barges
When kicking.....your own player must be behind you before playing the ball
Plenty more.......
I played rugby in high school 30 years ago, and even that was rough. Bleeding was pretty common.
Some tackles are hard definitely and some they are use to and know how to fall. But we generally know a bad tackle, no high swInging arms/ clotheslines allowed, no more picking guys up off their feet and drilling them into the ground like back in the day. Surprisingly they have tried to tidy up the game recently, some would say there's too many rules now, but league and rugby still an exciting game!!!! Great reaction guys!!!!
a line out is the throw in, both teams line up. but youve already set up which person is due to catch. so you lift them up
Started watching your videos the other day randomly, The Last of Us reactions but saw you posted this Rugby one. I have been playing since 12 and stopped a year ago after I turned 40, the old bones could not take it anymore
Like I said, we were trained in the mosh pits of metal and punk concerts, so you don't feel the pain, but sometimes you will break bones or lose teath, true, but scars make a man beautyful .
Every scar is a victory...
Growing up in a country where Rugby is the main sport you don't even think twice about playing it, it's just in your blood, I was small and thin and I also ran middle distance on track too so I was more about using my speed to get past and around people than smashing though anyone, but there's nothing quite like the adrenalin kick you get from a rugby game, it's so exhilarating.
In france and most europe all the cost of healthcar are almost free and everyone has personal insurance as a citizen so hospital is not a dreaded place ;)
there is not even need a special insurance for the sport , the life already cover it all :)
Watch primary school rugby south africa. Those were the best times. Your kids would love it and learn a lot of values. They will come out better/stronger kids at the other end.
I started at age 10 till 18 in Australia and wore either number 7 breakaway / flanker or 11 winger , we used to arrive early at times to watch the tiny under 7s kill ball matches... they were a sight too. :) btw i stopped at 18 after a team mate died on the field coming out of a ruck , no one knew he had a heart condition and neither did he . :( .
I grew up in Twickenham, the Home town of English Ruby.
Your reactions are hilarious. I've got one nephew, 2 sons, and loads friend that play. We love Ruby. It's A thugs game played by Gentlemen.
I'm a native born American. I took up Rugby when I was 24, right after I got out of the navy. I LOVED it. there's two parts to the game; the game, which is rough and tumble, and the drinkup- where the home side (team) hosts the visiting side (team). No matter how tough and brutal the game was, you party together and have fun. Lots of drinking and nasty songs. The drinkup starts by "coronating" a Rugby queen(usually an unsuspecting girlfriend).
In rugby, you never disrespect the referee, always address him as sir. I'm 72 now, when I played it was rare to meet an american who even knew what rugby was.
I played for my town and county as a teen in the 90s. I played for the under 18s at 16, but i never went any further as the rave scene, girls and drugs put a stop to me playing, lol.
I'm ok with that though. I doubt I'd have cut it as a professional.
Asia asked about when the tackle ends. Unlike American football (where I think the tackle is done if any part of your body touches the ground besides feet) in rugby league and rugby union the tackle doesn't end until you lose momentum while under a tackler's control. So when guys hit the ground then jump back up it's basically coz no one is there to hold them down to complete the tackle.
And BJ, in rugby union there's no tackle count, you just hold onto the ball for as long as you can (but usually punt strategically). In rugby league there's 5 tackles (like 4 downs) so you'll usually punt on the last one just like NFL. But unlike NFL you can't get more tackles/downs by gaining yardage. You get 5 tackles, that's it, you punt. That makes it a constant arm wrestle for yardage and field position.
Check out some friends of mine they’re all one family called the Tuilagi’s the best people you could meet but absolute monsters. To put it in perspective I played professionally when I was younger I was 6ft 273 lbs and wasn’t considered big. In fact I was the smallest guy in our front 5 😂
they wear gum-shields now but a lot of rugby players look like extras from fight club by the end of the season. No it`s played from age of 10, there are forwards, backs and half-backs , the forwards are big, huge, the backs are big but fast the halfbacks are smaller but quicker, more agile as they tend to boss the game, they train hard for the hits so they don`t require padding or helmets, greatest game in the world, fluid and tactical.
A Score in Rugby Union or Rugby League is called a 'Try' its the same as a touchdown in NFL! A try is worth 4 points and a goal attempt is awarded after scoring a try! If the goal goes between the posts, it's worth 2 points in Ruby League and 3 points in Rugby Union. You can also score a field goal which is a drop kick between the pots which is 1 point or an attempted penalty goal which is awarded for foul play by the referee. If successful its worth 2 points. Hope this helps
A Union try is worth 5 points, and it's 2 points for a successful conversation.
If you're going to explain it to those who asked to know, please get it right!
A lot of americans need to understand that Rugby is in totally different compared to NFL. It's NFL is kindergarten and rugby is university. Much more physical demanding. Hardly any breaks etc.
You have "forwards" nums 1-8 and "backs" 9-15 the forwards form the "scrum" and compete in "line outs" they are the tanks of the team and the backs are the speed, forwards have the job of chasing the "pigskin" (ball) to set the play for the backs, when you get tackled you form a "maul" where the other team are able to steal the ball if they can, plays set again for the next run. The only time play is stopped is for "knock ons" the balls been fumbled forward, "forward pass" the ball hasn't been thrown laterally, "off side" the player is in front of the ball, for these they'll form a "scrum" and nums 1-8 will form a turtle, each team trying to push the other off the ball, plays set for the backs. A line out occurs when the ball has gone out of play, the team who had the ball lose the throw in. For major offenses penalties are awarded. The team can either "kick for goal" or "run the ball". You have to press the ball over the "try line" to get your points, then you can try to "convert" a kick over the "posts" for extra points. The opposition then "kick off" to start the next play.
To be fair, direct head contact will now result in a sending off unless there are mitigating factors. Having said that it's not a game for the faint-hearted.... massive hits and not much protection. Rugby payers, men and women are a special breed! 💪
I was 5 when I started playing touch rugby and now 32 and still playing love the sport and the watching the game
Don't know if anyone mentioned already, but there are two codes of Rugby. Rugby Union and Rugby League. Lots of similarities and difference.
I was in a service station getting a coffee, when in walked the Saracens rugby team. I was standing next to them in the line, the guy next to me looked like a Maori and he was massive, his legs were like tree trunks, a literal walking wardrobe.
There is 2 types of rugby , " rugby union , rugby league and there is touch rugby where children learn how to play the game without tackling.. rugby league your allowed to be tackled 5 times to try and score then you give the opposition the ball basically , rugby union, you play until you score or the opposition gets the ball of you .. there is more to the game but that's the basics .. enjoy your rugby journey

No, the Most brutal and one of the oldest Sports is Calcio Storico where the Teams of Florence in italy Play against each other 1 time in the year. The Most beatiful time to visit this great city
All those hits aren't allowed in rugby union now, because to many players are suffering from brain and head injuries,and the sport doesn't want to be sued
Which is fair enough,and it's going to be a sad retirement for ex player's suffering from injuries as they age
URC league just started they should watch a game or even super rugby game any rugby is good rugby , im going to watch club rugby this weekend in cape town between local clubs and its big support all across the Cape
I played for 22 years and loved every min i lost 5 teeth broke nose 3 times only protection i had was shin pads ,gum shield and electrical tape lol best part of rugby is the social life after both teams have a drink after the game all the violence all forgoten about
Rugby is the real deal its a huligans game played by gentlemen.Its a very masculine game full of hard tackles,fast pace n full of thrill watch Jonah Lomu stuff

I believe unless rugby players can verify, score is called a Try. Like Running Backs or receivers crossed the line for a touchdown.
What up guys. Please make the screen for the videos you're reacting to a bit bigger. We wanna see the action as much as your reaction. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Many of those tackles are illegal in rugby. Any contact above the shoulder is generally illegal and can result in a red card if there are no mitigating circumstances unless it is accidental. A tackle must be below the shoulders and the tackler must make an effort to wrap with his arms. Finally, Just using shoulders to tackle someone is illegal and will be penalised. In rugby these days, we also have what is called a penalty try. This is where a try is awarded because if the illegal act did not occur, then the player with the ball in all probability would have scored.
I'm an indigenous mother and I am glad my 6'3, 250 kg 32 years old son doesn't have a sporting bone in his body. They would have used him, just like they did with Aussie Rules Football with my youngest brother
The most brutal sport of all is the Florentine historical football.
My great niece plays rugby in primary (elementary) school, she turns 5 next month.
