The answer to your opening question is as follows; the reason you get tired after eating a meal is that your stomach needs additional blood to digest the meal, so it takes it from your brain temporarily to do so. Your brain slows down a tad & you feel tired. The exact opposite happens when you get nervous before an exam or interview etc, is that your brain is under increased duress & requires extra blood to cope, so, takes it from your stomach. Hence you get butterflies in your stomach. I tell you, the crap I know! 🤪
I've always wanted Rugby to be pushed harder in the States. I genuinely believe you would have one of the most talented and entertaining back lines in International Rugby P.s happy to answer any Rugby questions you have
The arrogance of some of the American “that looks easy, we have NFL” have already been saying that they’ll walkover everyone with their more talented, fastest athletes. Well they got their comeuppance when they got knocked out of the rugby World Cup by the 2nd or 3rd tier Portugal team a few days ago.
@@joyfulzero853 i thought it was chile, Cause chile had beaten them for chile to get into the world cup funny they lost twice to a third tier countries to get into the world cup
You have selected footage which actually shows some great action, and shows how quickly a try can be conjured out of almost nothing - not just big hits, but great tries and fast action - it was great seeing your face as you watched, and you are clearly starting to understand the greatest team game in the world
Number 10 is a playmaker position. He's one of the two halfbacks, known as the fly-half, and on most teams he's the nearest thing rugby has to a quarterback. He directs play, sets up running moves, does most of the tactical kicking, and is often (but not always) the first choice placekicker as well. Finn Russell, Beauden Barrett and Marcus Smith are some good current fly-halves you should be able to find highlights videos of. The other halfback is the scrum-half, who wears number 9. His job is to be first to the ball after the tackle, scrum or ruck, and make the first pass or kick. On some teams, particularly in France, he has more of the quarterback role. Some top scrum-halves are Antoine Dupont, Faf de Klerk and John Cooney.
Great reaction!!! Since the Women's Rugby World Cup final has just been played, England vs New Zealand I highly recommend you try to find at least some highlights of this awesome match!
Agree with your faking injury comment. It's why I dislike soccer so much and enjoy watching rugby! No matter the injury where they are told to not play, they will do anything to get back onto the pitch. Seen it first hand in the sevens rugby series. These guys and gals are passionate and very team oriented.
Great video mate, I watched about 5 other ''American Reacts Rugby'' vids before this one and yours was the best by far, by showing a wider scope of the game, whereas the others seemed to be a seizure inducing montage of heavy tackling. It's great that you show longer sequences to show the set up, the skill and fitness required to play the game. Nice one.
Great reaction to some great tackles and tries, I was thinking it was going to be just hits again, but a good mixture in here. Some of these games are obviously from a few years ago because you can't just to into tackles with your shoulder, you have to be going low and attempting to wrap both arms around the legs or body or if would be a penalty or worse (yellow card - 10 minutes in the sin bin, or red card - sent off). Also these days they are trying to prevent head on head collisions so you can't just stand up and hit the player being just stood up, you have to try and get down into a tackling position, but it's not always easy. I don't always agree with the decisions but it is a tough sport and the players do need to be protected.
I was thinking the same about the tackle at the 6:45 mark, where the player tackled had jumped for the ball and was in mid-air. That would likely get the tackler a yellow card today.
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 yeah - that is a great example of why tackling a player in the air isn't legal these days - way too dangerous, someone might get hurt ! 🤔
@@javan7217 it doesnt make any difference, look at the red card of Antoine Dupont : he wasnt tackling, but he should've stepped away from the player that jumped before him instead of reaching for the ball, that's just the rules now, you cannot touch a player while he's in the air
The number 10, or fly-half, is roughly analogous to the quarterback. They are responsible for calling the plays, game management, and will usually be the designated goal kicker as well.
Numbers 1 to 8 are the forward pack, usually picked for strength over speed. The back line, lighter-weight and faster (but mostly still hulks!) are 9 to 15. 9 & 10 are the scrum-half (or half-back) and wing-half (or first five-eighth). The two wings (11 & 14) are, as the name suggests, close to the side lines. Between the halves and the wing are the inside centre and outside centre (12 & 13). Finally, 15 is the full back.
Julian Savea being called “not one of the bigger guys on the field” is the best thing I think I’ve ever heard. Sry mate, but his nicknames literally the bus. Great vid btw lad
You will learn a lot more about rugby from now on, by watching proper game play with commentary where you see how the different elements combine. Don't worry about the "soccer" coming out in normal talk; no 'grown-up' is that bothered about it.
i find most people are more annoyed about americans using the term football for a newer sport that doesn’t really have much “foot to ball” meaning they had to rename the beautiful game to soccer, so it’s annoying but not a first worl issue
@@symblitz699 I mean, soccer is short for association football, and is an English term originally. Rugby's full name is rugby football, and like American football it also is primarily running and throwing rather than kicking. Ultimately the names really aren't that important, what matters is people enjoying playing or watching whatever sports they find interesting
The tackle that you liked (AUS on SA) where you thought Mapimpi was going to score. But was tackled illegally. Watch highlights of the second match between them where the exact same thing happened but SA scored as the AUS guy had to actually try and use his arms to tackle and not just put his shoulder in.
This is Rugby Union which is one type of rugby. I recommend you watch Rugby League - so either Superleague here in the UK or NRL (National Rugby League) in Australia
In rugby no 10 is called a Fly Half, they are normally the first receiver out of the Ruck (wrestle thing after a tackle), so in a way they are the playmaker, they also usually take kicks. In rugby each number corresponds to a position.
You've got to remember numbers 1 to 8 are the forwards generally the biggest and heaviest on the field, taking them down takes good takeling technique and perhaps a little bravery, the wingers and backs are your speed and tacticians.
Even though Australia is just one of many countries that play Rugby, I think the term "go hard or go home" is appropriate description of both the attitudes of the Rugby players and the AFL players (only in Australia). Even myself, when I use to play Basketball, if I did not have a bruise at the end of a match, I was disappointed, because it would mean I was not going hard enough -despite being the only player in the team to never be subbed off.
Love your comment about faking to be hurt. In both rugby and football (American), players fake being not hurt when they are in fact hurt just so they can stay on the field.
on the kick and chase at 7:14 the wing (#14) who caught it and scored was legal because he was onside when the kicker actually kicked it; i.e. he was behind the kicker. If he had been in front then he would not be able to intervene until the opposition had played the ball.
At 6:53 if you touch a player who is up the air catching the ball then you will get a card . Whether it is yellow or red depends on the perceived intent and on the outcome of how the guy lands. You have to time your challenge so that both feet have landed before you hit him.
The clip you said is your favourite... I'm a rugby fan but even I am loving that hit! Gets an "OOF!" every time! This video does not have many big tackles to be fair... most of these are tickles.... 😁
You were wondering in some of your video who were the top teams in Rugby, as of today : Ireland is 01st, France 02nd and New Zealand 03rd. If you like brutal tackles and strong players, try to have a look at Sebastien Chabal, French player, monstruous tackler and very impressive physique, nicknamed the caveman ;)
When you say you're not sure if it's good on him or bad on the tackling. They are trying to hold him up over the line. No point chopping low if he's gonna fall over the try line anyway. Nice vid
So fun fact. When the NFL changed some of its rules on regards to whats legal and what isnt not so recently. Many of the franchise's started to hire rugby coaches to to help the players tackle better. A testament to how rugby is played and also how the NFL is kinda trying to limit its issues with brain injuries. Meanwhile rugby still out here crushing folks. You gotta wonder. If they ever changed it to be less than what it is. It would cease to be exciting. No arguing that rugby is the more contact heavy of the two. Plus...ehh. pads n that.
As I'm sure you already know the shirt numbers denote playing position, not players, so in general numbers 1-8 are the forwards. The forwards are the big, heavy ultra powerful players who perform in scrums, mauls, lineouts, and all the 'heavy-lifting' as they say. 9 and 10 are half backs (scrum half and fly half); the major playmakers; 12 and 13 are centres (or centre-threequarters in full), they are the essential midfield, solid in attack and defence. 11, 14, and 15 are the two wings and the full back; who more often than not were/are the lighter guys but the greyhounds of the team; fast in attack but they have to do their bit in defence as well;' the full back is the last line of defence and you need balls to play there. If a back is in possession with a forward in front of them they regard it is a mismatch they should win. But if the forward has the ball that may be another mismatch; they may not have the power to stop the ball carrier.
10:27 you are revisiting a try-saving tackle on Makazole Mapimpi (South African winger) by Marika Koroibete (Australian winger). Many players in professional rugby could be described as muscles with eyes, but Marika is a bone with eyes. He is one of the hardest running, hardest hitting, most destructive back line players in the game. He has many highlights apart from this one, worth a look. A similar destructive try-saving tackle is one by Michael Hooper (Australian flanker) against Julian Savea (New Zealand winger). Hooper's highlights are many, and a search on youtube will show you some.
Regarding getting tired after you eat.....additional blood is required to digest your food, less blood flow , less oxygen...sense of tiredness....if you eat fruit and vegetables the affect is less, as bread, pasta heavier foods take more blood.....little bit of trivia
7:18 "You can do that?"... yes, but only if the player who catches was behind or level with the kicker when he kicked it. Of course this includes the kicker himself, who is always allowed to catch it.
It's funny you talk about the soccer and football thing because rugby is actually called rugby football (hence where RFC, rugby football club, comes from) and players in rugby can be called footballers too.
Now check out Jonah Lomu, the greatest Rugby Union player ever. That guy weighed in at 265lb, could run 100m in 10.5 seconds, catch like a wide receiver and run like a running back. When he was still in his teens an American Football team wrote him a blank check to play for them. He went to a training camp and turned them down, at that time Rugby Union was still 100% amateur and getting paid for playing any kind of football anywhere in world landed you a lifetime ban from Rugby Union.
That tackle by 11 Aus (Yellow) on 11 SA (Green) should have been a yellow card penalty for tackling with the shoulder and NO ARMS WRAPPED AROUND. Subject to being sent to the sin bin for 10 mins
you want to watch an awesome match with some brutal play. aus state of origin game three this year. 2 ppl knocked out in the first 5 min. putting themselves on the line.
If you wanna watch live rugby there's some big tough international matches going on in the next 24 hours. England, Australia, Ireland, Samoa, Fiji, Italy, Wales, South Africa, France, New Zealand, Argentina. They're all fighting it out this weekend.
Rugby is a man's sport, US "football" is for a "special education" kids sport. Is how i always saw it, played it in middle school and High school and along with 4x100 metres relay it's my favorite sport.
The Last tackle on the Springbok winger Mapimpi was a no arms tackle that resulted I think, into a red card for the rest of the game and the tackler on AUS side had to appear Infront of a disciplinary committee the following week, don't know the outcome and if he was banned for a couple of games or weeks!
Don't apologise for calling it soccer. I was born in Europe but moved to Australia, I call it soccer. What Europeans don't always appreciate is that "football" means like 5 different sports outside of Europe: Aussie Rules Football, American Football, European Football, Rugby is sometimes called football (Union and League), and all the touch variants. All of those sports are popular and watched in Australia. If I say "I'm going to watch football" people have no clue where I'm going, whereas soccer is unambiguous.
7:38 You can only touch it if you were behind the player that kicked the ball forward at the time he kicks. Otherwise you need to stay at least 10m away from the ball.
The tackle on Impi was an improper tackle, You must watch the rematch of the Springboks (Green & Gold) vs Australia(Orange & green) ruclips.net/video/iOU-Mi-DJX8/видео.html
The tackle on Mpimpi from Sa by the Oz guy was TOTALLY ILLEGAL. It's called a shoulder charge, no arms. And should have been a yellow or red card offence. very blatant.
You've chosen to watch the wrong code. There is rugby union which is what you've reacted to and rugby league. League has a different set of rules, faster and harder impacts as the defensive line has to be further back after each tackle.
I love how people are fight ping if football or rugby is more dangerous,in my opinion they are both dangerous but rugby is more cause of those high ball catches and no gear
Rugby is painful. My memories of playing as a kid revolve around pain and I admit to fear too. I recall some of the guys loved ever damned second of it and absolutely loved smashing into them as hard as possible. Can't explain to the wife that yes, they loved the battle, loved the violence, despite the injuries. This video isn't really showing big hits and is very restrained, to my eye.
a long long time ago, back in the 1800's; Football and Rugby were the same sport. But didn't fractions couldn't agree on the rules, so they split into Football and Rugby. A little brief history for ya kid. btw kid, stop being so hard on yourself, you're young, you're trying and still learning and as long as you're doing that and Honestly giving your all/your best then there's no need to be so hard on yourself - live and learn. Though its if/when you're not giving your all/ your best that you kick yourself in the ass until you are giving your all/ your best, again. If something is worth doing (and if its Honestly "right to do" and you know it in your heart) its worth giving your all/your best and if not (Honestly) worth it and give your all/your best - then why do it at all. I don't care who it is kid - if you ain't got "Heart" (and a good strong one and I'm not talking physically) then you ain't got shit and nothing worth having! True in sports, true in life, true in Love - Universally True in everything! Take care of yourself kid and be well!
I played Rugby Union from pre-teens in the 70's, but after a really bad motorcycle accident at 23 I had to stop & trialled for the Windsor Monarchs because 'american football' is softer - you wear body armour & the tackling is like schoolyard tag.
I love rugby when the game is flowing well but it can be just as frustrating when its slowed down by the scrum and too much kicking. When they run like this its amazing you would be on your feet.
the one when you ask was it good on him or bad on the tackling the first hit was good the when 2 guy tried to sop him it was bad on the tackling so a bit of both but he should have been stoped
This is nothing I would say you should have seen the Tackles put in By JPR Williams for Wales and actually see what sort of Injuries this Doctor played on with on the Rugby Field for Wales,.
rugby is pretty similar to american football but rugby is played by man
we don't need padding 💪🏴
Lol..totally
Rugby and American football are both be played by men or women
American FOOTball, where they throw the ball around with their hands 🤦 Rugby doesn't allow forward passes.
@@whosasking0o They throw the ball with their hands for rugby football too

that step, its cooled the 'goose step' the most famous person for it is david campeze
If you wanna watch live rugby there's some big tough international matches going on in the next 24 hours. England, Australia, Ireland, Samoa, Fiji, Italy, Wales, South Africa, France, New Zealand, Argentina. They're all fighting it out this weekend.
And all done WITHOUT padding and a crash helmet !!
The end clip he shifted his weight just before contact ☝️
I love how many of these have Kiwis in them or are from kiwi teams or championships!
Rugby is a man's sport, US "football" is for a "special education" kids sport.
Is how i always saw it, played it in middle school and High school and along with 4x100 metres relay it's my favorite sport.
why he has voltaire's portrait in backyard ?
We play this game in schools in the uk :) just like this no protective gear
The Last tackle on the Springbok winger Mapimpi was a no arms tackle that resulted I think, into a red card for the rest of the game and the tackler on AUS side had to appear Infront of a disciplinary committee the following week, don't know the outcome and if he was banned for a couple of games or weeks!
Hit @ 2:05 was an illegal shoulder charge that didn't get called. That was the same match where the ausie 9 auditioned for his hollywood role.
Hahahahaha deadset. Such a twat
Not a chance, wrapped the arm. Just he was moving at such high pace his chest hit him first.
@@joshwhittingham5790 oh the hit was fair imo. But the disgraceful penalty baiting was shameful for Aus
Yeah, 9 and 10 are the playmakers (sometimes 15 is the main playmaker). 10 Is Also the goalkicker.
any number can be the goal kicker...
Jonah Lomu...Six five, 250 lbs, 100m in 10.3 and he runs into you at full speed. There is probably an equation for that!
Check out Faf De Klerk the south african / English League player the giant killer a short guy that takes on the big guys!
Don't apologise for calling it soccer. I was born in Europe but moved to Australia, I call it soccer. What Europeans don't always appreciate is that "football" means like 5 different sports outside of Europe: Aussie Rules Football, American Football, European Football, Rugby is sometimes called football (Union and League), and all the touch variants. All of those sports are popular and watched in Australia. If I say "I'm going to watch football" people have no clue where I'm going, whereas soccer is unambiguous.

7:38 You can only touch it if you were behind the player that kicked the ball forward at the time he kicks. Otherwise you need to stay at least 10m away from the ball.
Cool reaction!
Yes the fly halve 10 and no 9 scrumhalve play makers in backline.
But ultimately the then is the play maker
The tackle on Impi was an improper tackle, You must watch the rematch of the Springboks (Green & Gold) vs Australia(Orange & green) ruclips.net/video/iOU-Mi-DJX8/видео.html
The tackle on Mpimpi from Sa by the Oz guy was TOTALLY ILLEGAL. It's called a shoulder charge, no arms. And should have been a yellow or red card offence. very blatant.
You should search out some of the old footage of Jonah Lomu, he was huge but he was fast
you should do a hit for hit comparison who hits harder, Rugby V American football
No bubble wrap for these guys 🤣
You've chosen to watch the wrong code. There is rugby union which is what you've reacted to and rugby league.
League has a different set of rules, faster and harder impacts as the defensive line has to be further back after each tackle.
I love how people are fight ping if football or rugby is more dangerous,in my opinion they are both dangerous but rugby is more cause of those high ball catches and no gear
Rugby is painful. My memories of playing as a kid revolve around pain and I admit to fear too. I recall some of the guys loved ever damned second of it and absolutely loved smashing into them as hard as possible. Can't explain to the wife that yes, they loved the battle, loved the violence, despite the injuries. This video isn't really showing big hits and is very restrained, to my eye.
That looks painful! >~
a long long time ago, back in the 1800's; Football and Rugby were the same sport. But didn't fractions couldn't agree on the rules, so they split into Football and Rugby. A little brief history for ya kid. btw kid, stop being so hard on yourself, you're young, you're trying and still learning and as long as you're doing that and Honestly giving your all/your best then there's no need to be so hard on yourself - live and learn. Though its if/when you're not giving your all/ your best that you kick yourself in the ass until you are giving your all/ your best, again. If something is worth doing (and if its Honestly "right to do" and you know it in your heart) its worth giving your all/your best and if not (Honestly) worth it and give your all/your best - then why do it at all.
I don't care who it is kid - if you ain't got "Heart" (and a good strong one and I'm not talking physically) then you ain't got shit and nothing worth having! True in sports, true in life, true in Love - Universally True in everything!
Take care of yourself kid and be well!
I played Rugby Union from pre-teens in the 70's, but after a really bad motorcycle accident at 23 I had to stop & trialled for the Windsor Monarchs because 'american football' is softer - you wear body armour & the tackling is like schoolyard tag.
7:35 catched it ??...lol oh deer...
When I used to play rugby when I was was 9 I got tackled into a post and now I can’t feel one of my toes on my left foot
I love rugby when the game is flowing well but it can be just as frustrating when its slowed down by the scrum and too much kicking. When they run like this its amazing you would be on your feet.
Check out Rugby league my friend. Much faster than Rugby union.
the one when you ask was it good on him or bad on the tackling the first hit was good the when 2 guy tried to sop him it was bad on the tackling so a bit of both but he should have been stoped
New Zealand All Blacks ON TOPP !!!
Lol, just call it Soccer Football and don't stress out about it 😉
number 10 is regarded as the general on the field, so yip the play maker
Yeah you can catch the ball after it's kicked by your team if you're behind the kicker when he kicks it
This is nothing I would say you should have seen the Tackles put in By JPR Williams for Wales and actually see what sort of Injuries this Doctor played on with on the Rugby Field for Wales,.
