      Challenge in the air mean both players can jump for the ball even if they collide.
      But if you mis time, you jump and you make contact. Or make contact in the air recklessly. It's a penalty or a card.
      What players do if they see they are not going to be able to jump and compete.
      Is they time their run to tackle just as players toes hit toe ground.
      Then, the supporting players will blast the ruck to try and gain possession of the ball.

We can be a volatile country within itself, but if we stand together across all cultures, races and religions, we are a powerful nation, and that's one thing I'm proud of.

    No that last clip where you asked about if its the superbowl of rugby was the British and Irish Lions tour celebration. Basically every four years, England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland make a dream team called British and Irish Lions and they travel to either Australia, NZ or South Africa to play the best of 3. So for example 2001 they went to Australia, then 2005 they went to NZ, 2009 to South Africa, 2013 back to Australia and so the cycle starts again. Its a massive rivalry and its known for the bloodshed,concussions, ejections,punching and illegal hits above the neck(because there is no love loss between the former British colonies and the colonizers. The same way we celebrate July 4th(because we beat the crap out of the British haha). So in 2021 The B&I Lions toured South Africa and the Boks won the 3 game series 2-1. The Superbowl of rugby is the World Cup. Also happens every 4 years. The next one is next year 2023 in France. The Springboks are current reigning champions and will be looking to defend that illustrious trophy next year.

    With regards to the 'touching down' of the ball in the score zone, yes you are absolutely right, the ball has to be touched down for it to count as a try or 'score'. If you can manage to carry the player back across the line or even carry them over the 'dead ball' line, it won't count as a try. Also, you will notice that after the try has been scored a conversion will take place for an extra two points, now this kick will be in line with the area where the ball was touched down, that's why you'll see that given the opportunity, the player will try and touch down the ball as close to the middle of the goalposts as possible, making the conversion kick easier for their kicker.

      You can also prevent the other player from touching the ball down by getting your body or parts ff your body underneath the ball. This results in the attacking player being deemed 'held up' and traditionally it resulted in a 5 metre scrum for the attacking team but due to a recent law change is a goal line dropout for the defenders.

      @PhilipKloppers Год назад

      @@liamparker2590 You're correct that you could try, or make an attempt, for the conversion, but, initially at least, there were no points awarded for the actual try. This was likely a legacy of the roots of rugby being in football, or soccer, where you only score by kicking the ball into the goal. In the late 19th century tries started to score as well, going quickly from 1 to 3 points, and it stayed at 3 for most of the 20th century. Interestingly, the Afrikaans word for a try is "drie", which translates directly to three, reflecting the point value of the try. It was increased to 4 in the 70's and to today's value of 5 in the early 90's (it's still called a "drie" in Afrikaans though)

    That forward pass from SA n9 was slightly forward, but remember that there is momentum involved, so at a running speed the ball could be caught a bit in front of where a player was when it was thrown, so the general rule of thumb is that the hands have to go back and the ball should not be thrown anterior to the frontal plane.

    Hi love the reactions. Let me try and answer some of your questions.
    1. The pass was what the call a flat pass. It is a judgement call on behalf of the refs. If the initial pass when leave the passer's hands is backwards and Momentum carries it forward it is fine.
    2. In the scrum, as long as the players are bound to the scrum and the ball has not gone past the last player's feet, it is deemed still in the scrum and can be dribbled forward usually be the last player's called the 8th man or number 8.
    3. High kicks, no pleyer is allowed to be played in the air. The hit can only be made once they touch the ground. However an attacking player, like in the video, may contest for the ball in the air and the collision in the air is deemed fair play provided the challenging player has a fair to good chance of getting the ball. You cannot just jump and collide for the sake of knocking the other player away.
    4. The touch down (😁 see what I did there.), A try is only scored once the ball is grounded on or over the goal line. It must be done with control and clear downward pressure. The spot where the ball is grounded also determines from where the goal kick or extra points kick needs to be taken.
    5. The language you heard was Xhosa, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa.
    Just as a side note, the head on head collision you saw and commented on is definitely not legal and the player was red carded for it.
    I hope this helps your understanding of the brutally beautiful game we so dearly love.

    The 'boks are just built differently. Here in New Zealand they're feared, hated, respected, and loved in equal amounts as possibly our great rivals. They're the team we love to hate :) And yes, that try at 3:10 was disallowed for a forward pass. The later one (at 9:45) was "flat" (i.e., nearly parallel with the field markings), but not forward. It's illegal to tackle someone who's in mid-air going for the ball. And yes, you can stop someone scoring by getting your body between the ball and the ground (the ball is "held up" and no try is given). That last scene was after the World Cup final.

    @McJibbin The reason they run after crossing the "goal line" is, wherever the ball is placed inside the goal line, determines the angle of the kick to the poles that happen after a try is scored. So, the closer to the poles they can get when scoring a try, the easier the kick. 2 points for a kick really matters in tight games

    GO BOKKE! 3 time world champions! To answer your question at around 10:50. The further outside of the tri-zone the further away you are for a conversion kick (it's more challenging). The closer you are to the center of the field means the conversion kick is easier because the kick will be basically right in front of the posts. That's why you see them running and putting the ball down for the tri as close to the middle as possible. I hope that makes sense. I tried to summarize it as best as I could.

  • @silvertongue3003

    We live rugby in South Africa, the reason they keep running past the tri line is to try get under the “goal posts” because after a tri you kick in line with where you touched the ball on the ground, so when they keep running it’s not to show off but to touchdown under the posts

    The forward pass rule is that the hands have to be angled backwards as the ball is released. Obviously when two guys are running full speed, the guy passes the ball and it will most likely land on the receivers chest AHEAD of where it was thrown from. It just happens that way because you are running forwards as you release the ball. It’s angled backwards but because you are running forward it still traces downfield in the air - that’s unavoidable. The longer the pass the more like a forward pass it looks, but the ball was never THROWN forward.

    At 11:06 the reason he ran further in once he passed the tryline is because wherever the ball gets put down is the angle where the conversion (kicker) has to kick the ball from. So if the players are able to they will try get as close to the middle of the polls as possible

    Hey man, to answer your questions:
    Q1) You are correct, all passes must be backwards, the pass you were referring to... It looks like its going forward, but if you look at where the ball was released before the "line", the ball was caught by the receiver also before the quarter line.... technically it was a "flat" pass.
    Q2) The scrum-try, as long as the ball is still part of the scrum/in the scrum (meaning it hasn't gone pasts the 8th man's legs) and there is forward movement for the offensive team, they can scrum the entire length of the field and over the try-line.
    Q3) If a player tackles another player in the air, or pick him up off the ground in a tackle and slam him down, it's illegal/dangerous play and the guilty player will will be sent off with a red card. The player will then appear before the rugby union and they will determine how long he will be expelled from the season.
    Q4) All tries MUST be grounded. No try will be awarded without "grounding" of the ball.
    Q5) The strange language is Xhosa.
    Q6)That was the World cup, 12 countries competing to see who is the best: South Africa, New Zealand, England, Wales, Ireland, France, Australia, Japan, Scotland, Argentina, Fiji and Italy.

    Regarding the running in the try area or "end zone", the goal is to place the ball as close to the poles as possible when scoring the try, hence making the angle of the kick easier for your goal kicker. Also yes, they can tackle you out of the try zone if you have not placed the ball down on the ground in a controlled manner.

    10:27 The ball has to be grounded in order for a try to be awarded. The objective is to score, obviously but in order to convert the additional 2 points that come after, the closer you are to the posts means your kicker has an easier job of making said conversion. So if you're always grounding the ball close to the touchline, in a tight game it makes those conversion kicks harder for your fullback.

    I was in one of the most well known rugby schools in South Africa...Paarl Boys High. The way we played our rugby was just the way it is, we didn't know any different ,but funnily enough we agreed at the time (late seventies) that the physically hardest team to play against was Boland Agricultural School. We'll win against them but we were really happy when the game was over . Those boys came at you hard man.
    In the good ole days the up and under was very popular. The idea was to intimidate people, especially the fullback. They'll kick the ball high and the idea was to just plough him having the ball in hand or not . After the game become professional (1995 onwards) and they start to play a lot more games, they also changed the rules to make it a lot safer. Before that it was a free for all and brutal. Now the player that is about to catch the ball normally jumps into the air and then the attacking player must give him a moment to catch the ball. It is a judgement call and not always easy to decide on.

  • @RuanMartinsfunerals
    @RuanMartinsfunerals Год назад

    a few answers for you on your questions:
    after a try is scored then there will be a conversion kick for another 2 points. so the reason for the player pressing the ball down behind the inzone is because the destination of the kick is calculated according the where the ball is placed in the inzone, usually the best place is closest to the posts.
    you are not allowed to tackle a player in the air, you are allowed to compete for the ball in the air, how ever if you fail to compete while in the air and injuring in doing so, then you will definitely receive a red car or if you are lucky, a yellow.
    there is also such a thing as a flat pass in rugby, meaning those long passes you saw actually didn't go forward, the ball actually was flat with the guy that was passing, the teammate just had to run up to receive such pass, as they are usually placed a few meters behind the guy passing.

  • @fusionbim

    Hey @Conner, Francois here. At @10:10 you have to touch the ball down past the "try line" (but still inside the "end zone" / try area) for it to count as a try (score).
