This was my first actual international match that I've ever went too, and me being a VERY big springboks fan this was definitely a match I will never forget! HIER KOM DIE BOKKE!!!
The kick you weren't sure about - it was a penalty to Australia, but it was almost 60m away from the uprights, and it fell short. SA just kicked the ball directly into touch as it was pretty much the last play before half-time Also, the Rugby Championship is just a "small" tournament between the Southern Hemisphere teams (SA, Aus, NZ and Arg) - the World cup starts not long after the Championship finishes - that's what we're all waiting for. Hope you catch those games.
If you are going to get into rugby, this is a great year mate. The World Cup is just a few months away, and it is gearing up to be one of the most competitive ever!
Cheers for posting this Luke! Really interesting to see a perspective of someone more familiar with other disciplines. The kick you asked about - it was an attempted penalty kick from inside the Wallabies' own half. Usually penalty takers have a range of about 50 meters, but at altitude many can kick those 60+ meter ones.
this was an amazing game for south africa. really showed how strong their depth is. only 6 of 15 where the normal starting players. pollard is injured and the rest flew to new zealand to be well adjusted before that game
@@LeMerch lol brah not every country has the same depth in quality as the boks or all blacks. our 2nd string team is stronger than most teams 1st team. Boks can actually put 3 strong teams if they have to.
@@LeMerch I'd argue there are optimal starters for most of Ireland's positions. Some of the decisions get a bit harder if everyone's fit but Farrell's not much of a tinkerer. Front row, back row and back 3 are pretty much locked in, and the JGP/Sexton 9/10 partnership is kind of what the team is built around, even if neither of them are playing. (Byrne's our backup 10 because he plays so much like Sexton.)
I spent several months in America and really got into American football. Having watched both sports I think one of the most important things to note is the stop starting difference between American football and rugby. What American football call a play where there's a down so many yards to make etc and then they concede/or choose to punt if they don't do it within four attempts and cross the 10-yard line then it's the next teams go. Whereas in rugby we call it a phase and there is no stopping play they just carry on so you can get anything beyond 10 to 20 phases/downs of a team carrying on pushing non-stop until either a turnover happens or there is a penalty conceited or the ball is put out of play. So whereas in American football all the speed and stamina is designated to one play which can last maximum maybe a couple of minutes in rugby those players would continue and could last for anything beyond 5 minutes of continuous running and tackling. I hope you get to read this and comment on my input. And I suppose the most important point of all you can't pass forward so all metres/yards gained are from a player physically going over the gain line. However you can kick forward and then a player can run forward and gather the ball. When somebody is tackled and the ball touches the ground the ball is not dead the game carries on. I hope this helps.
Grew up playing soccer and watching football. Found rugby late in highschool and played it for the next 14 years. Perfect description of what makes rugby so special.

You can choose multiple ways to play a penalty, most commonly: keep on playing with your hands, kicking it out of bounds (what's called 'kicking it into touch' and you get a line-out from where it exits the field) or simply trying to kick it through the posts to get 3 points. They took that latter choice but it didn't got through. Love your vids and your journey discovering football!
It's been 10 years since my high school rugby days, but let me see if I can recall. When the ref blew, that was a penalty to Oz. So the Captain has a choice of a scrum, a free kick or a lineout, depending on location, the strength of their pack/forwards, quality of their kickers etc. So at the penalty, Oz chose to kick.
Also, playing in the highveld in Pretoria, the ball travels a lot farther with the altitude, looking at the kick now, he might have gotten a bit under the ball, giving it more height and less distance.
I understand rugby can be confusing so I will clear up what I can. In rugby if there is an infringement by the opposing team and play can still continue it will continue but you will play with advantage. This means you get the penalty once the play stops and you essentially get a "free play". Before half time Australia had an advantage and they infringed during the play while they had advantage meaning they got the penalty awarded to them. In a case of a penalty you have the option of kicking at goal to get 3 points which Australia did there however he missed. The two yellow card incidents are what we call penalty tries. Essentially, if a team infringes and that infringement prevents a certain try from being scored the 7 points from the try is awarded and the infringing player gets a yellow card which is a 10 minute time out. Both Australians in those cases prevented certain tries illegally so they were punished for it. Good video, I hope you give rugby a try cause it's the greatest sport on the planet.
Rugby players would dismantle NFL players like rag dolls. People have seen Boxers and MMA fighters in each others domains. I would like to see NFL players to try to just last for at least 15 mins without their stupid protective gear.
3:30 it was a penalty for Australia and you have 4 options 1 - tap and run 2 - kick (punt) into touch and take a line out 3 - kick off a tee at the posts for 3 pts 4 - scrum
The guy with the tries (#11) is one of the two 'wings' (along with #14), and they are often most likely to be on the end of fast attacking moves; they are selected for their speed and skill to exploit them.
3:30 it’s called a place kick. Taken when a team is awarded a penalty. If the kicker believes he can kick the distance he has to kick the ball so it clears above the horizontal bar and between the vertical posts. If the kicker can’t kick the distance they normally kick the ball directly into touch closer to the opponent’s try line - out the field without a bounce and they win the line out if no bounce inside the field before going out occurred. Another way of taking a penalty is when they tap it on the foot and run from the spot.
With Rugby it works like this; When you Score you get 5 points. ( Scoring is like a "touchdown" ) Then you get the opportunity to increase it by 2 points by kicking over. But you can also kick to goal in game or if you get a penalty which will give you 3 points. What happened here was a penalty. @3:25
Hallo, I am from South Africa, what happened at 3:18 is that , along with commentary which is a bit confusing is that one of our SA rugby players were offside in trying to intercept a pass, so that's like 1/2 in awarding the free kick penalty, another one was the offence of a forward pass, so that ticked the referee into making the call. So, Australia were awarded a free kick. They had 2 options, to kick it out on a tap and kick, or to go for the poles, in which an event takes place where we have to adhere the kicker in freedom , if the kicker kicked over it would have been 3 points. That's in short. At 5:09, in rugby, you are not allowed to "play" the ball when you are not on your feet, meaning that when the Aussie pulled the SA player down, he was holding the ball and player off the ground and he himself were not on his feet. Thanks yall for the awesome video!
American football was developed from rugby not the orher way around...it is tame compared to rugby, with pre-planned set plays and protective padding and helmets. Rugby is a violent contact sport and there can be serious injuries. I'm an elderly South African and I remember a couple of lovely young Provincial players from my yourh who were paralysed from neck injuries. Nevertheless an exciting and popular international sport. Anerican football is unknown outside the US. Afraid to say that the rest of the world regards American foitball as a tame version of the real thing!
Please go in depth with the rugby tactics you will be fascinated on how technical it is you might actually fall in love with it. There are rumors that the Springbok coach Russie Erasmus took some ideas for Liverpool manager Klopp who you might be familiar with. For how rugby teams play and use strategies check out youtube channel called Squidge Rugby.
You can kick a field goal while running with the ball as long as you dont throw the ball forward. This is called a drop kick. You can kick a field goal off of a penalty by placing the ball on the ground and kick for the posts. You can kick a field goal after a try(touch down) and the placement of the ball on the ground will depend on how close to the posts the try ( touchdown) was scored. You can also punt the ball ( called an up and under)You can kick the ball if its dropped on the ground towards the opposition's territory along as the ball is not lost( dropped or thrown forward) you can never lose or throw( pass) the ball forawrd will incure a penalty.
There was a penalty, the team that was awarded the penalty can choose to "kick for posts" for 3 points, or kick it out for a line-out or run it at the other team, they were kicking it for posts and they missed it.- to answer your field goal question
3.12 The kick. The referee was playing an advantage for a penalty to Australia. In Rugby, we play 2 x 40 minute halves, BUT the half only ends when the ball goes dead AFTER time's expired. A penalty doesn't make the ball dead, so Australia opted to kick a penalty for 3 points. The kick was short so South Africa caught the ball and then kicked to touch to make the ball dead and end the half.
You have kicks in rugby for territory and then you have kicks at goals, conversions of tries and penalties. A conversion is worth an extra 2 points after a try has been scored. A penalty can either be chosen to play for field advantage or take a kick at goal which is worth 3 points. Finally a drop goal can also be done, where a player can attempt a snap kick at goal which is also worth 3 points. Not however a tactic favoured in the modern game.
Good time to start getting back into it. It is a World Cup year. Will be in France with the hosts favorite. The Springboks are probably in the best shape they have ever been.
HIGHLY recommend checking out Rugby Explained for American Football Fans by Sports Explained - it’s one of the best out there and goes into detail about the history and connection with football without being overwhelming His two Cricket ones are perfect too (and use Baseball as the reference point)
I'd suggest watching a full march if you had the time for that kind of thing, you seemed to enjoy the big lad crashing through the line and a full match has a lot more of that
The kick (punt) was a penalty kick. Where the penalty was committed is the point from which the kick is taken. The kick can be tapped and run, kicked at goal, or kicked for position. In this case the kick was for points. The kick did not go above the crossbar and between the posts, so it was not completed, no points. The ball is still live though, so the receiving team player kicked the ball off the field as time had run out for that half. That ended play for that half.
The kick you were talking about is from a penalty, when you are rewarded a penalty you have the option to tap and go, scrum, kick to the line for a line out or kick over the poles for 3 points.
It was our B team as the Australian captain said. Well for a B team we did really good. Wonder what the Australian captain has to say now. Loosing against a B team. Our A team is in New Zealand. #gospringbokke. We are all proud of you guys.
We take great pride in our rugby here in South Africa, Springboks are top notch players and our main competition is the All Blacks from New Zealand. Hope you enjoyed the rugby game & there is no ignorance to be found in enjoying a good sports match, thank you for watching & enjoying it by drawing lines of similarity to USA football, the games aren't that different but each has its unique method of playing, nr 1 rule for rugby is no passing forward, other than that, its brutal & fun.
3:20 they had a penalty advantage for something off camera (prolly tackler not roling away), ref stopped the wallabies play because there was a runner in front of kicker (punter), so ref said 'no advantage' and went back to earlier penalty
The punt you were referring to is a really long penalty. He just missed so it looked like he just gave the ball back. I think the ref said is the deliberate knock on, which is a penalty and not a scrum. Crazy that he went for 60 years punt tho. Should have kicked for the corner to get a better attacking position from a line out hopefully in SA 22
in the highveld the ball travels further than most grounds. 60m even on a angle is more attainable up in Pretoria than in Durban or Cape Town. aussies had been crap with set pieces and forced errors so I understand why he decided to go for points just before the break
The punt as u called it was a penalty against SA which gave Auss a kick at the poles for 3 points...which he missed...it was short...and subsequently kicked into touch at the halftime whistle.
There was a forward pass by SA, which is a penalty. Australia can kick, run or take a penalty kick. They tried the penalty kick, but it fell short. Unlike NFL the ball is kicked where the offence takes place, and the extra point in line where the actual "touch down" was touched down. This is Rugby Union, 40 minuets of non stop play each way. If you can keep possession, they other team might never get a look in. American Football came from Rugby League - the 6 pass rule became 4 downs and a single forward pass was added. Simplified Rugby League.
There's punts in rugby. That Aussie player was attempting a 3 point conversation penalty goal from way back. In the old days of this sport a try meant 3 points but nowadays it's 5 points followed by 2 points for a conversation goal. You can also get a automatic 7 points for a penalty try. I know in American football it's 2 points for a field goal, 6 points for a touch down & followed a 1 point conversation.
Rugby has the post-try conversion (2 pt), the drop-kick goal (1 pt), and the penalty kick (3 pt). The drop-kick can be taken from anywhere on the pitch by the guy in possession. The penalty has to be taken from the spot of the foul. Rugby is the game American football evolved from, and what it shares with Association Football is the flow of the game. There are continual changes of possession, stoppages occur only on fouls or when the ball goes out of touch, or when a try is accomplished. I've watched a bit of rugby over the years including Tri-Nations and Six-Nations championships and it is every bit as absorbing as soccer. I still like American football, though I tend to gravitate a lot more toward the high school game these days where they play to the basics: emphasising the run, solid defence, and possession. THAT is football as I knew it growing up and it was a much more interesting game than what the NFL delivers today.
3:11 He missed a penalty, drop goals=field goals which happen in open play and if successful result in 3 points,while penaltys=place kick due to infringement, high take ect. Result in 3 points if successful And conversion=place kick after a try is scored which if successful results in 2 points. Hope u found this helpful👍
No 2 pulled the maul down just before the goal-line, hence the Boks got a penalty try (7 points) because they would cerainly have scored a try and the offending player got a yellow card (out for 10 minutes).
3:15- penalty advantage was being played and then they brought it back after the forward pass by Australia/Wallabies. It's a field goal attempt from 65 metres that was short not a punt. Read a rugby rule book.
At ~3 min. You asked what happened, so before the showed footage SA concede a penalty, but because Aus have possession the play continues with advantage for a penalty kick. What we do see is Aus break out but then because of a forward pass the play is stopped and instead of an SA scrum, we returned to the penalty call from before. Aus kicked for a penalty goal but fell short, meaning the ball stayed in play. SA chose to kick that out because it was the end of the half, but in fact they could have run the ball and kept the play going until some other stop would have ended the half.
Nice to see you come back to rugby Luke, watched all your footy vids, you should react to Saturdays game New Zealand vs South Africa. They are the best rugby teams ever
A lot of people don't know this but the organiser of The Rugby Championship is SANZAAR but SANZAAR is just an abbreviation for South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina.
Not a punt called a place kick, he went for a penalty kick valued at 3 points, there is a conversion which is given after a try, which is valued at 2 points, both are taken by place kicking off a kicking tee
Kick at goal. On a professional foul you are awarded with a penalty. You can run, kick into touch for field gain or kick at goal. Successful kick os 3 points. As well as a drop-kick during any time of play. Scoring a try is 5 points. And successful kick at goal after a try (conversion) is additional 2 points.
NFL is only played in the U.S. Rugby is a true international sport with genuine physicality and grit. No body protective and gear. More difficult is that it is a backward passing game, unlike NFL forward pass, easier game play. There are so many other matrix and dynamics abt it which supercede NFL. THIS IS A NO BRAINER. Get any NFL player to swop a game wuth a Rugby player and do an honest postll game interview 😢
At 3:00 I'm confused too. Not about the kick but I am confused. There's no such thing as a 'punt' in rugby. Anytime you kick the ball in rugby any player that is onside has the option to retrieve and play the ball.... no 'punts'. What you were looking at was a "penalty kick'. Most penalties give you a kick that, if you wish' you can place kick at goal (3 points). Yes there are 'field goals' in rugby. In open play you can even drop kick at goal (3 points). What confused me was the fact that the whistle went at all. Clearly the Wallabies were on the 'advantage' and had clear possession and an open field ahead. Why did the ref stop them to give them a penalty so far out from the post with no time remaining?
3:28 So what happened there was South Africa were penalized and Australia has 4 options 1-Kick out and have a line out closer to their try line 2-Tap and go 3-Scrum 4 kick for poles and score 3 points (similar to a field goal)
Ruby Championship 2023 is over, but the Rugby World Cup kicks off on Saturday. This is possibly the most exiting world cup yet - so many teams bringing so much talent. Don't miss it! Here's a bit more Springboks vs All Blacks - some outstanding playing ruclips.net/video/bjKVlCyUznQ/видео.html
there is no reason to enjoy both football and rugby. Especially with the Rugby world cup in September. I think american football is brutal. But I dislike the lack of fluidity. A play is made, then the game is stopped. Imagine what it would be like if american football was constant movement. with the teams playing one team on attack and then defence.
Yeah, I grew up with the American game. I love the tactical aspect of American football. It’s a very strategic sport. (Less improvised) it’s basically a battle of set pieces. An American football play book could be upwards of 60 pages.
The attempted penalty kick at 3:08. The S. Africans gave away a penalty, the referee allowed the Australians to play advantage, if no advantage accrues they go back to the original penalty and, unusually, they opted to kick for goal from a very long way back and the kick fell just short, so they gained nothing from it.
The punt was south africa kicking the ball into touch because the hooter to end the first half had sounded. Kicking into touch kills the ball and thus time is up
There's the upcoming rugby world cup in September in France. And American football comes from an early form of rugby, not the other way. Rugby 🏉 itself is an evolution of football ⚽ that was then exported to the USA in the late 19th century.
There was a penalty, the Ausies elected to kick for 3 points, but failed. There is no "in zone" the lind is a Try line, and the player must PLACE the ball on the ground behind the try line.
The long range kick was a penalty kick off the tee, not a punt. With the editing it wasn't clear what it was awarded for; perhaps it was playing advantage for a penalty offence not shown, followed by a forward pass? The only thing was, that it was not a forward pass, so advantage should have carried on from a very favourable attacking position. Penalty kicks at goal are normally taken from a kicking tee but a kicker can also choose to take it as a drop kick (as in a field goal). Alternatively a penalty can be punted into touch for an advantageous lineout and the kicking team also get the throw-in, or they can opt to take a scrum and have the put in.
in rugby ur only allowed to pass backwards, so at 3:11 australia passed forward and got a penalty so south africa got a free kick which means they can kick the ball through the poles to get points but they missed (disclaimer: im not a huge fan of rugby and dont know the rules properly this is js what ik)
By the way, this match took place in Elon Musk's hometown (and my hometown) Pretoria. It's the capital city of South Africa. I also went to the ssme high school he did (Pretoria Boys' High School) but many years after him.
Rugby World Cup coming to USA soon, good time to really get into it. Its an awesome game, so is NFL but nothing comes close to rugby for me, its not just the game, its the sportsmanship and camaraderie that makes the sport shine
At 3:15, Australia awarded a penalty and chose to kick for goal. They could have kicked for touch outside the 22 and got the put in at the scrum.. they had options and chose the poorest one
You should check out the Major League Cricket being played in Texas and give your opinions on cricket as someone who probably only understands baseball. Thanks for a nice video!
Just to put it into context, Australia only plays rugby thru its private school system,theres no real grassroots movement or community like other countries like south Africa or new Zealand has where its a passion and number one sport played in public and private schools. The vast amount of Australian talent play afl or nrl which is played in public and private schools. So always take it with a grain of salt Australias performances,we may not have the strongest domestic competition,but we'll compete and be competitive like we are with any sport out there
Most Americans don't know that American Football stemmed from Rugby 😂gets me every time

Also, playing in the highveld in Pretoria, the ball travels a lot farther with the altitude, looking at the kick now, he might have gotten a bit under the ball, giving it more height and less distance.
3:10 Basically, the ball has to go over the posts to score the penalty, but it was short. So SA kicked it out as it was already half-time.
Great time to start watching again with the Rugby World Cup final starting September in France
I understand rugby can be confusing so I will clear up what I can.
In rugby if there is an infringement by the opposing team and play can still continue it will continue but you will play with advantage. This means you get the penalty once the play stops and you essentially get a "free play". Before half time Australia had an advantage and they infringed during the play while they had advantage meaning they got the penalty awarded to them. In a case of a penalty you have the option of kicking at goal to get 3 points which Australia did there however he missed.
The two yellow card incidents are what we call penalty tries. Essentially, if a team infringes and that infringement prevents a certain try from being scored the 7 points from the try is awarded and the infringing player gets a yellow card which is a 10 minute time out. Both Australians in those cases prevented certain tries illegally so they were punished for it.
Good video, I hope you give rugby a try cause it's the greatest sport on the planet.
Rugby players would dismantle NFL players like rag dolls. People have seen Boxers and MMA fighters in each others domains. I would like to see NFL players to try to just last for at least 15 mins without their stupid protective gear.
What you said at 5:18 doesn't make sense because rugby is older than American football
There's a big game this Saturday. New Zealand vs South Africa.
Australia is just grateful that this was NOT the Springbok ‘A’ team.
🤣😂🤣🤔🤣😂🤣
a real mans sport
Women play rugby as well there are world cup for women as well
3:30 it was a penalty for Australia and you have 4 options
1 - tap and run
2 - kick (punt) into touch and take a line out
3 - kick off a tee at the posts for 3 pts
4 - scrum
The guy with the tries (#11) is one of the two 'wings' (along with #14), and they are often most likely to be on the end of fast attacking moves; they are selected for their speed and skill to exploit them.
3:30 it’s called a place kick. Taken when a team is awarded a penalty. If the kicker believes he can kick the distance he has to kick the ball so it clears above the horizontal bar and between the vertical posts. If the kicker can’t kick the distance they normally kick the ball directly into touch closer to the opponent’s try line - out the field without a bounce and they win the line out if no bounce inside the field before going out occurred. Another way of taking a penalty is when they tap it on the foot and run from the spot.
With Rugby it works like this;
When you Score you get 5 points. ( Scoring is like a "touchdown" )
Then you get the opportunity to increase it by 2 points by kicking over.
But you can also kick to goal in game or if you get a penalty which will give you 3 points.
What happened here was a penalty. @3:25
Hallo, I am from South Africa, what happened at 3:18 is that , along with commentary which is a bit confusing is that one of our SA rugby players were offside in trying to intercept a pass, so that's like 1/2 in awarding the free kick penalty, another one was the offence of a forward pass, so that ticked the referee into making the call. So, Australia were awarded a free kick. They had 2 options, to kick it out on a tap and kick, or to go for the poles, in which an event takes place where we have to adhere the kicker in freedom , if the kicker kicked over it would have been 3 points. That's in short. At 5:09, in rugby, you are not allowed to "play" the ball when you are not on your feet, meaning that when the Aussie pulled the SA player down, he was holding the ball and player off the ground and he himself were not on his feet. Thanks yall for the awesome video!
American football was developed from rugby not the orher way around...it is tame compared to rugby, with pre-planned set plays and protective padding and helmets. Rugby is a violent contact sport and there can be serious injuries. I'm an elderly South African and I remember a couple of lovely young Provincial players from my yourh who were paralysed from neck injuries. Nevertheless an exciting and popular international sport. Anerican football is unknown outside the US. Afraid to say that the rest of the world regards American foitball as a tame version of the real thing!
Rugby is an International stage, America deserves to be there in the future.
Love your videos, Ive seen a couple today, new sub from Argentina. Keep it up!
Please go in depth with the rugby tactics you will be fascinated on how technical it is you might actually fall in love with it.
There are rumors that the Springbok coach Russie Erasmus took some ideas for Liverpool manager Klopp who you might be familiar with.
For how rugby teams play and use strategies check out youtube channel called Squidge Rugby.
Here is the link of how the Springboks won the World Cup in 2019

You can kick a field goal while running with the ball as long as you dont throw the ball forward. This is called a drop kick. You can kick a field goal off of a penalty by placing the ball on the ground and kick for the posts. You can kick a field goal after a try(touch down) and the placement of the ball on the ground will depend on how close to the posts the try ( touchdown) was scored. You can also punt the ball ( called an up and under)You can kick the ball if its dropped on the ground towards the opposition's territory along as the ball is not lost( dropped or thrown forward) you can never lose or throw( pass) the ball forawrd will incure a penalty.
There was a penalty, the team that was awarded the penalty can choose to "kick for posts" for 3 points, or kick it out for a line-out or run it at the other team, they were kicking it for posts and they missed it.- to answer your field goal question
3.12 The kick.
The referee was playing an advantage for a penalty to Australia.
In Rugby, we play 2 x 40 minute halves, BUT the half only ends when the ball goes dead AFTER time's expired. A penalty doesn't make the ball dead, so Australia opted to kick a penalty for 3 points. The kick was short so South Africa caught the ball and then kicked to touch to make the ball dead and end the half.
You have kicks in rugby for territory and then you have kicks at goals, conversions of tries and penalties. A conversion is worth an extra 2 points after a try has been scored. A penalty can either be chosen to play for field advantage or take a kick at goal which is worth 3 points. Finally a drop goal can also be done, where a player can attempt a snap kick at goal which is also worth 3 points. Not however a tactic favoured in the modern game.
Good time to start getting back into it. It is a World Cup year. Will be in France with the hosts favorite. The Springboks are probably in the best shape they have ever been.
HIGHLY recommend checking out Rugby Explained for American Football Fans by Sports Explained - it’s one of the best out there and goes into detail about the history and connection with football without being overwhelming
His two Cricket ones are perfect too (and use Baseball as the reference point)
be consistent bro, make it part of your life, find you a team that you can support and follow, for the love of the game, bokks all the way 💪🏼
I'd suggest watching a full march if you had the time for that kind of thing, you seemed to enjoy the big lad crashing through the line and a full match has a lot more of that
Hey Luke, commenting here again…Barça Socio from New Zealand…Make sure you check out the All Blacks take on the Springboks just this weekend gone 😉
3:30
The game is 40 minutes a side. The South African player kicked the ball out to end play for the half time break to be taken.
The kick (punt) was a penalty kick. Where the penalty was committed is the point from which the kick is taken. The kick can be tapped and run, kicked at goal, or kicked for position. In this case the kick was for points. The kick did not go above the crossbar and between the posts, so it was not completed, no points. The ball is still live though, so the receiving team player kicked the ball off the field as time had run out for that half. That ended play for that half.
The kick you were talking about is from a penalty, when you are rewarded a penalty you have the option to tap and go, scrum, kick to the line for a line out or kick over the poles for 3 points.
It was our B team as the Australian captain said. Well for a B team we did really good. Wonder what the Australian captain has to say now. Loosing against a B team. Our A team is in New Zealand. #gospringbokke. We are all proud of you guys.
We take great pride in our rugby here in South Africa, Springboks are top notch players and our main competition is the All Blacks from New Zealand.
Hope you enjoyed the rugby game & there is no ignorance to be found in enjoying a good sports match, thank you for watching & enjoying it by drawing lines of similarity to USA football, the games aren't that different but each has its unique method of playing, nr 1 rule for rugby is no passing forward, other than that, its brutal & fun.
3:20 they had a penalty advantage for something off camera (prolly tackler not roling away), ref stopped the wallabies play because there was a runner in front of kicker (punter), so ref said 'no advantage' and went back to earlier penalty
The punt you were referring to is a really long penalty. He just missed so it looked like he just gave the ball back. I think the ref said is the deliberate knock on, which is a penalty and not a scrum. Crazy that he went for 60 years punt tho. Should have kicked for the corner to get a better attacking position from a line out hopefully in SA 22
in the highveld the ball travels further than most grounds. 60m even on a angle is more attainable up in Pretoria than in Durban or Cape Town. aussies had been crap with set pieces and forced errors so I understand why he decided to go for points just before the break
I'll be up at 3:05 am this Saturday for NZ vs SA
Can't wait for the US to host the RWC. You guys are going to kick ass. I guarantee the US will be rugby power in the next 10 years.
The punt as u called it was a penalty against SA which gave Auss a kick at the poles for 3 points...which he missed...it was short...and subsequently kicked into touch at the halftime whistle.
There was a forward pass by SA, which is a penalty. Australia can kick, run or take a penalty kick. They tried the penalty kick, but it fell short. Unlike NFL the ball is kicked where the offence takes place, and the extra point in line where the actual "touch down" was touched down. This is Rugby Union, 40 minuets of non stop play each way. If you can keep possession, they other team might never get a look in. American Football came from Rugby League - the 6 pass rule became 4 downs and a single forward pass was added. Simplified Rugby League.
There's punts in rugby. That Aussie player was attempting a 3 point conversation penalty goal from way back. In the old days of this sport a try meant 3 points but nowadays it's 5 points followed by 2 points for a conversation goal. You can also get a automatic 7 points for a penalty try. I know in American football it's 2 points for a field goal, 6 points for a touch down & followed a 1 point conversation.
Rugby has the post-try conversion (2 pt), the drop-kick goal (1 pt), and the penalty kick (3 pt). The drop-kick can be taken from anywhere on the pitch by the guy in possession. The penalty has to be taken from the spot of the foul.
Rugby is the game American football evolved from, and what it shares with Association Football is the flow of the game. There are continual changes of possession, stoppages occur only on fouls or when the ball goes out of touch, or when a try is accomplished. I've watched a bit of rugby over the years including Tri-Nations and Six-Nations championships and it is every bit as absorbing as soccer. I still like American football, though I tend to gravitate a lot more toward the high school game these days where they play to the basics: emphasising the run, solid defence, and possession. THAT is football as I knew it growing up and it was a much more interesting game than what the NFL delivers today.
3:11 He missed a penalty, drop goals=field goals which happen in open play and if successful result in 3 points,while penaltys=place kick due to infringement, high take ect. Result in 3 points if successful And conversion=place kick after a try is scored which if successful results in 2 points.
Hope u found this helpful👍
No 2 pulled the maul down just before the goal-line, hence the Boks got a penalty try (7 points) because they would cerainly have scored a try and the offending player got a yellow card (out for 10 minutes).
why do highlights of rugby get blocked😮
Luke, please do the Rugby World Cup. There's going to be a lot of exciting, fluid play, especially if France and Ireland do well as expected.
And every year the cup goes to the southern hemisphere 😉
3:15- penalty advantage was being played and then they brought it back after the forward pass by Australia/Wallabies. It's a field goal attempt from 65 metres that was short not a punt. Read a rugby rule book.
At ~3 min. You asked what happened, so before the showed footage SA concede a penalty, but because Aus have possession the play continues with advantage for a penalty kick.
What we do see is Aus break out but then because of a forward pass the play is stopped and instead of an SA scrum, we returned to the penalty call from before. Aus kicked for a penalty goal but fell short, meaning the ball stayed in play. SA chose to kick that out because it was the end of the half, but in fact they could have run the ball and kept the play going until some other stop would have ended the half.
Nice to see you come back to rugby Luke, watched all your footy vids, you should react to Saturdays game New Zealand vs South Africa. They are the best rugby teams ever
A lot of people don't know this but the organiser of The Rugby Championship is SANZAAR but SANZAAR is just an abbreviation for South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina.
Not a punt called a place kick, he went for a penalty kick valued at 3 points, there is a conversion which is given after a try, which is valued at 2 points, both are taken by place kicking off a kicking tee
Good day from South Africa.
5 point for a try
2 point for conversions ( goes with try)
Use to be 3 point for penalty kick now 2 points
Kick at goal. On a professional foul you are awarded with a penalty. You can run, kick into touch for field gain or kick at goal. Successful kick os 3 points. As well as a drop-kick during any time of play.
Scoring a try is 5 points. And successful kick at goal after a try (conversion) is additional 2 points.
Kick at touch - sideline - is field gain and your throw in at the line out.
NFL is only played in the U.S.
Rugby is a true international sport with genuine physicality and grit. No body protective and gear. More difficult is that it is a backward passing game, unlike NFL forward pass, easier game play. There are so many other matrix and dynamics abt it which supercede NFL. THIS IS A NO BRAINER. Get any NFL player to swop a game wuth a Rugby player and do an honest postll game interview 😢
Carter Gordon has the sickest mullett😊
I was there and the atmosphere was amazing
At 3:00 I'm confused too.
Not about the kick but I am confused. There's no such thing as a 'punt' in rugby. Anytime you kick the ball in rugby any player that is onside has the option to retrieve and play the ball.... no 'punts'.
What you were looking at was a "penalty kick'. Most penalties give you a kick that, if you wish' you can place kick at goal (3 points). Yes there are 'field goals' in rugby. In open play you can even drop kick at goal (3 points).
What confused me was the fact that the whistle went at all. Clearly the Wallabies were on the 'advantage' and had clear possession and an open field ahead. Why did the ref stop them to give them a penalty so far out from the post with no time remaining?
3:28 So what happened there was South Africa were penalized and Australia has 4 options
1-Kick out and have a line out closer to their try line
2-Tap and go
3-Scrum
4 kick for poles and score 3 points (similar to a field goal)
The 2nd game SA played against New Zealand and lost, but this last Saturday SA played against Argentina and narrowly won with just a single point
Ruby Championship 2023 is over, but the Rugby World Cup kicks off on Saturday. This is possibly the most exiting world cup yet - so many teams bringing so much talent. Don't miss it!
Here's a bit more Springboks vs All Blacks - some outstanding playing ruclips.net/video/bjKVlCyUznQ/видео.html
there is no reason to enjoy both football and rugby. Especially with the Rugby world cup in September. I think american football is brutal. But I dislike the lack of fluidity. A play is made, then the game is stopped. Imagine what it would be like if american football was constant movement. with the teams playing one team on attack and then defence.
Yeah, I grew up with the American game. I love the tactical aspect of American football. It’s a very strategic sport. (Less improvised) it’s basically a battle of set pieces. An American football play book could be upwards of 60 pages.
LOFTUS ❤❤❤best atmosphere and it is a big motivator for springboks.
The attempted penalty kick at 3:08. The S. Africans gave away a penalty, the referee allowed the Australians to play advantage, if no advantage accrues they go back to the original penalty and, unusually, they opted to kick for goal from a very long way back and the kick fell just short, so they gained nothing from it.
Take a look at the womwn's championship under way right now, the Pacific Four between Australia, Canada, New Zealand and USA.
rugby is just american football without 100000 ads
The punt was south africa kicking the ball into touch because the hooter to end the first half had sounded. Kicking into touch kills the ball and thus time is up
There will be Rugby World Cup in France this year, from sept to october
The punt was as a result of a forward pass I think and so he got a penalty kick which if it went over awards points
I want to see Ireland and South Africa!! That should be EPIC
There's the upcoming rugby world cup in September in France. And American football comes from an early form of rugby, not the other way. Rugby 🏉 itself is an evolution of football ⚽ that was then exported to the USA in the late 19th century.
There was a penalty, the Ausies elected to kick for 3 points, but failed.
There is no "in zone" the lind is a Try line, and the player must PLACE the ball on the ground behind the try line.
Will you be covering the Rugby world Cup that just started in France? Go Springboks! 🇿🇦💪
You should watch the Ireland v France 6 nations game. Cracking game of Rugby!!
Rugby is a warrior sport, American football is a softplay version of it
The long range kick was a penalty kick off the tee, not a punt. With the editing it wasn't clear what it was awarded for; perhaps it was playing advantage for a penalty offence not shown, followed by a forward pass? The only thing was, that it was not a forward pass, so advantage should have carried on from a very favourable attacking position. Penalty kicks at goal are normally taken from a kicking tee but a kicker can also choose to take it as a drop kick (as in a field goal). Alternatively a penalty can be punted into touch for an advantageous lineout and the kicking team also get the throw-in, or they can opt to take a scrum and have the put in.
Every time they score a try then they get a field goal which is two points.
Also they get a penalty kick which is three points.
Rugby is the original sport when it comes to American football
The funny thing is that the Aussies said that they are going break record but then springbok still it from them lol 😂 they were so good 😢😢 🎉🎉
SUIT-AFRIKA VER DIE WEN
If only he knew how brutal Rugby can be
in rugby ur only allowed to pass backwards, so at 3:11 australia passed forward and got a penalty so south africa got a free kick which means they can kick the ball through the poles to get points but they missed (disclaimer: im not a huge fan of rugby and dont know the rules properly this is js what ik)
By the way, this match took place in Elon Musk's hometown (and my hometown) Pretoria. It's the capital city of South Africa. I also went to the ssme high school he did (Pretoria Boys' High School) but many years after him.
Rugby World Cup coming to USA soon, good time to really get into it. Its an awesome game, so is NFL but nothing comes close to rugby for me, its not just the game, its the sportsmanship and camaraderie that makes the sport shine
At 3:15, Australia awarded a penalty and chose to kick for goal. They could have kicked for touch outside the 22 and got the put in at the scrum.. they had options and chose the poorest one
You should check out the Major League Cricket being played in Texas and give your opinions on cricket as someone who probably only understands baseball.
Thanks for a nice video!
"Its such a cool combination of football and American football." AMERICAN FOOTBALL DESCENDS FROM RUGBY xD
Just to put it into context, Australia only plays rugby thru its private school system,theres no real grassroots movement or community like other countries like south Africa or new Zealand has where its a passion and number one sport played in public and private schools. The vast amount of Australian talent play afl or nrl which is played in public and private schools. So always take it with a grain of salt Australias performances,we may not have the strongest domestic competition,but we'll compete and be competitive like we are with any sport out there
It's called a conversion when kick through sticks from penalty
