What do you think of the skills on show? Let us know in the comments!
Can Alex come to Colorado please!?
Some were quite good 👍🏻 well others were...... questionable
@@elijahtchilembe-mpovie2715 I miss ya dude.
@Igs Mts every Tuesday
This series is really well made. I'm really enjoying it
What do you think is coming for Alex's troops? Any surprises along the way?
Why does the video have to be so short, i have been waiting a week. But still not disappointed, you can really see the skills as well as the passion for rugby growing.
Hey there's men's, women's, colleges, highschool clubs playing everywhere it's not new, just new to you! Go for it!
Glad you're enjoying it! What do you think will be the hardest transition for the group?
@@WorldRugby The practice going well i have no doubt they will all show great skill and dedication but i think the hardest part for them wil be an actual game. The opponents won't go easy on them, they have to make split second decisions and they wil have to do it for 80 minutes straight.
@@jancovanderbyl3024 Exactly. It all counts on the field at game day. There's an old saying, "Train like Tarzan, play like Jane".
Super show. I hope the rugby culture grows strong in the United States.
Pretty exciting to see athletes crossing over to rugby and really adapting quick. So Orene Ai'i is there. I still remember him being a big threat to our Fiji 7s team some years back. Waiting for the next episode. Wishing the boys all the best👌🤙✌️
These guys are awesome. Properly happy for them to have found rugby.
What do you think they'll find toughest about the transition?
@@WorldRugby well, aside from our amusingly complex book of Laws...
@@danielburges8176 🤣🤣🤣
@@WorldRugby strategy. apart from laws, they need to get the sense on how to initiate, counter etc.
A good idea would be for them to watch international games, see how it's played.
That wrestling kid has a huge potential for number 9 but he needs to learn what that role do (and there's a lot to learn). Maybe do also split watching according to roles with a coach next to explain what the player is doing. Pausing,rewinding as needed to the players.
yes, 2 types of videos sessions: one with everyone to watch the full game and one specific to their role with play/pause/rewind and detailed explanation about the role.
Once they have the general idea of their role, it will help for the real training too.
Sorry, I tried to be as clear as I could but I hope you get the general idea.
@@WorldRugby rucking is like nothing in any other sport. Nowhere else will you see 20 stone men competing for a ball on the floor, over another guy, while standing on their feet.
Imagine an intense rugby culture in the USA. It might change the international competition.
Thats what I fear
I cant see rugby ever overtaking football over there, but if you can even get a few million or so that watch it it'll be a nice addition to the world stage
It would be great, I am pretty sure that the comradery and farm culture there is in some states would be 100% compatible with rugby spirit.
@@mynames7664 Not overtake but defintely have a bigger impact with so much talent to filter into the American Rugby academies and into the American Eagles! It will grow the sport Stateside and better for Rugby as a whole!
@@WICKEDMAN85 ,true couldn't see the US dominating even if they took rugby serious
This series is legit. Rugby is the number 1 sport in Samoa but I follow American Football obsessively (GO RAIDERS!!). But to see some of this US talent converted to rugby is exciting. You guys should get another legend, Nate Ebner as another surprise guest after the legend himself Todd Clever!!!
Please create a full series with longer episodes. I'm really enjoying it
AAC looks extremely dignified as an attack coach
Those silver touches in his hair are very distinguished.
Enjoying this series, please keep it coming.
I’m in love with this serie, well done guys
More of this series and make them longer! Great work
Loving this series❤️
Really enjoying this series! Alex is a great host, and what a salesman for the game, getting these talented guys to try something new!
David it's not new, ask Google who's the men's club in your area. Call them or go to a live game an join the club an play rugby! No catches it's that easy! Spring season is coming an inquire with them now an you'll be told about practices. Just do it! You'll love it.
Agree, Alex is fantastic. A real natural on the camera.
I'm loving this they need to do more of this
*_Really_** enjoying this series. Well done WR. And AAC you legendary Silver Fox. The Man!*
This series are insane
great series! Keen to see them have some game time.
Love watching this I got to play rugby for the British army against a few teams in the states and u can tell they will really do well in rugby
Great to see AAC still contributing to Rugby, one of my all time favourite wingers... Looks like he could still strap on the boots and play a good 60 - 65 mins...
Feels weird calling him a winger, he could play so many different positions
I like this work and progress, I want to see more. Nice job
Leandro ask Google who's the men's rugby clubs in your area an go to live matches an even join the club! There's no catches just go practice an play. All players get a match on game day sat. Even two if you want more! Go for it, it's that easy! No catches!
Am really enjoying this series
sending much love and support from Springbok country South Africa. Hope to see USA and the Mighty Boks in a world Cup Final one day.
love this series keep it up
like these episodes...keep it up...
Really enjoying the show make it longer if possible
Loving this series!
Glad you're enjoying, what other things do you think we could see during the season?
@@WorldRugby injuries
Great Series
Come to South Africa for a month...it'll be a buzz
Adam Ashley cooper the legend
Keep em comin guys 👍
Let's go guys. Huge talent is there. Can't wait to see you guys have your first game 🎯. Much love from all of us in the rugby world 🌎 USA is the sleeping giant of rugby.
I'm hoping so, we senior rugger's have been thinking that for 30yrs! Horaaa RUGBY!!!
Great stuff!
Think that it's a great idea ...they all deserve a massive 👏 we've grown up playing rugby 🏉 Union , from the non-contact in primary school, I was lucky enough to have attended a high school that already had an established girl's team, which is common now but wasn't in the 90'S ... but they're going to experience a totally different was of making sure that they are both focused on how they tackle can tackle and to get timing right..... 🏉 rugby looks like a rough sport but it's one of the best contact sports to play ,.... the guys who already play football ...Will make great wingers ....the chip and chase at speed is one of those amazing skills and looks 👌 👏 ....
actually really enjoyable this series ye
Donnie looking like a flyhalf or fullback, Jayson can play prop but I think he's dynamic enough to play 8th man, Van Horne is definitely a center/fullback
Guy with the frizzy hair was good
He has a really high natural affinity for rugby, his handling is consistent and his feet are slick. He'll be a valuable member of whatever team he plays for
C'est assez incroyable comment il se font confiance plus vite que nous, voyez leurs passes alors qu'ils sont débutants!
Good job guys 👍!
So much fun. I wish I played when I was younger. Heard about a club in college but didnt check it out. Regret. These guys are lookin good!
Never too old mate
@@LB_die_Kaapie do they have clubs for rickety 65 year olds?
Yo Mota man ask Google who's the club on your area an go catch spring matches! They're being played everywhere!
@@jamescrawford9643 thanks! I'll try it!
@@motaman8074 look for "touch rugby"... a little easier for old farts like ourselves and still fun
Good progress 🏉
I truly think it's awesome to have local talent to get them in and have a run and get a feel for it.
Awesome
Big raps to LA Giltinis, how much do you think an experience like that will impact the players?
Make longer episodes! Put it on Netflix!
I've just found this as an ex club player now living in the US and I agree, there's amazing pool of talent that has never found rugby or been exposed to it.
You should check out some Major League Rugby matches this upcoming season
Rugby is now becoming the growing sport.
The SA v NZ test last weekend was trending number 1 meaning more people were tweeting and talking about that game on social media than anything else.
Will they be playing in a comp soon
As soon as Ivan started talking in the first ep I thought "halfback" ha
Defence wins the games
Would be great to see Rugby grow fast in the US.. Just imagine the amount of money it would bring to Rugby !
Is that what happened to orene. Man was slick back in the day
Orene, Ashley-Cooper & Hoiles... not a bad crew to learn from.
9 minutes an episode isn’t enough 😫
That guy with the afro is a natural baller 🔥
Looks like a 10, but lacks physical stature for the game at a glance unfortunately.
Hey boys, how about targeting a trip to New Zealand playing club teams throughout our beautiful country. You will be loved and looked after. Go All Blacks for 4th world cup 2022.
I think the level gap might traumatise them so it’s better if they progress slowly but surely.
@@therugbyfanatic3379 haahaa
Who was that at the end?
As an a.b's fan, i cant wait till the u.s catches up with the upper tier of world rugby
My uncle is buying me a Dallas Jackles Jersey, probably the only man in Ireland with one
Definitely the best name for a team
Ivan looks like TJ
Looking forward to the real development of rugby in the USA. A lot of talent to be dug up.
America could become a powerhouse if they played
They'll never come close, but I'm hopeful, so that South Africa can teach them a lesson that'll guide them on their journey
if you are the very best; using one hand is more then enough...
May be good for lineouts, because basketball can jump high. I will put them second rows
Only good for locks
*Queue Kylo Ren: "More!!!"
Are these guys training for 15 man or 7 man rugby. And the MLR league , which format is it, 15 man, or 7 man ?
MLR is union, so that's the 15 man game. I know nothing about this video series, but based on the numbers of players in training I wonder if they'd be more suited to 7s. Either way, both games play by the same laws on the same field with the same ball, and it's definitely a great opportunity to train with professionals
@@seanwalker494 living in South Africa and growing up with 15 man union rugby, to me The 7 man game is not " real" rugby. It reminds me of the games we used to play as kids, throwing the ball around and running. 15 man Union is the only real rugby came, and played hard, to me at least.
@@seanwalker494 This is a USA rugby promotion to get more players in the US. Union Rugby is called 15's world wide. League Rugby is a diff than union, it has only 13 players an is the original professional rugby outta Europe. There's some similarities to American football but still no blocking. Actor Russel Crowe owns a League Rugby Team don't know they're name ask Google. League Rugby is a bore! USA Major League Rugby is 15's an why they titled with League in there seems stupid an has me baffled. They could a used US Major Union Rugby would be a better fit! Google for rugby an you'll find club's!
@@jamescrawford9643 I've played for two different local clubs for the last 15 years, I know where to find rugby around here! I'm also in a unique situation where I could play rugby in the Canadian rugby off-season with a 20 minute drive across an international border, where there are a dozen or so clubs within a 3 hour drive.
As far as league goes, I only know of one or two clubs in my local comps that have league teams as well. If you think union is a niche game in the North American market, try finding a league team!
@@seanwalker494 Good for you Sean sounds like a rugger's dream! The hard part with rugby has been finding new players is just my promotion like the video's. Our West coast rocky mountain chain is rugby heaven! Like you I love the game an being that fit to play. I'm retired but I did kit up for 25yrs an wouldn't trade it for the world! Play on mate!👍
"This is the big leagues, this is the MLR."
I like MLR, but Super Rugby, United Rugby Championship, Top14, and the Premiership are light years more competitive.
They obviously meant in the US, smooth 🧠 🙄
The dwarf with the scrap metal in his nose will soon be wishing he removed it.
@3:08 a quarter what?
I've always said if Americans can pick up rugby, it will take the world game to a new level. They love a contact game and should be good at it. They just have to learn to take the pain and hits without the pads and helmets 😉
And the funny pants they wear.
Haha, rugby is a contact sport, football is a collision sport.
Main advice for basketball players :
Don’t dribble with a rugby ball !
Second advice :
Don’t tackle above your opponent’s shoulders, which means don’t tackle above your waist!
you really should have numbered the episodes in the title.. I kind of want to watch this but just keep finding random episodes
They need to work on Defense too, that's what has been killing the USA Eagles as of late.
We’re next up watch out we’re coming .
guys!!!) need to put together the World Team vs US !!! World Rugby!))))) will wait
There is no way any US team is ready to take on a top tier team, and a world team would run up such a big score against the US that it would be a sick waste of time. You can wait for this, years of wating.
In rugby every player handles the ball, runs with the ball, passes the ball, eats the ball, muscles the ball and SCORES with the ball! No ball hogs in rugby! Good rugby is a cohesion in positioning where 8-15 less or more passes are done the length of the pitch to score tries is good F..king Rugby!!!
Unfortunately I don't think much of it. The American Raptors are already doing this exact program.
Before I have a rant to myself, what's the goal with this group? Is it to find pro players, or get several guys into playing Saturday afternoon rugby?
This series isn't for the guys on the screen - its for the guys watching on the couch. It's the 'hey I could do that' factor. That is quite a cross section of sports and body types that Alex has assembled - in the hope that people watching identify with one of the guys on screen.
This is about engaging the wider public about the game, if someone develops further from this series then that's great.
@@mossyslopes Great comment.
@@Sulu-sw3zo then I think this series will fail miserably. Noone gets interested in "the wider game" kids need heroes, mythical larger than life figures. Mine were the all blacks. They were bigger than us, tougher than us, their bones were stronger than ours, and then you see them play and thats it you're hooked for life.
Stop trying to build up your local Saturday league and then get them to watch pro rugby, improve the presentation of Pro rugby first and the interest will follow. They kids will play the game of their heroes so they can emulate them.
@@jeffjefferson3364 Yeah cool, this is a CZcams channel buddy, it's part of larger comms plan from World Rugby.
Corbs has gone full on American!
For some reason the way he speaks is very similar to Gerard Butler
Demasiada infraestructura para poco talento. Cuando en argentina lo único que hay es un campo y una pelota... y obvio mucho talento.
Is that an English spelling of offense??
he sounds Ausy / kiwi but he is an english man
Perdón alguien con algo de neuronas, me puede explicar porqué el título "americanos ", cuando sólo se habla de los estadounidenses.
D USA is spoiled wt TALENT its hopelessly unfair!
How are d rest of d world going to compete against that.
Truly d home of d conveyor belt of products.
e.g:
The World - 1 Habana
Usa - 10 Habanas
Hahaha long way to go
Omg...why did I think AC was dead??? Honestly I thought he was....I'm going mental I swear
AC had significant health issues and it’s great to see him here, looking healthy. Long may it continue
@@stevenkingsley7781 what health issues?
Only 8 guys?
No 15 for matches this is just a promotion to get more US rugby players. There's rugby clubs everywhere ask Google of clubs in your area.
They don't look like total newbies tbh.
C'est sympa mais c'est quand même sacrement scénarisé...
bro find a big as islander and ur team is fininsh
They dropped both islander props after the AB loss to SA in the first test and brought in Maoris and white boys and won the second test lol
Nous les français, nous sommes toujours copié par les anglo-saxons c'est ouf serieux. Et apres ils font genre ce sont les inventeurs mdrr
Et en plus il font tout en trop et ca devient ridicule, ils detruisent les fondamentaux des choses simple.
No. 1 it’s not ‘offense’ it’s called ‘attack’. Way better.
Union doesn’t deserve to be more popular than League in the US. Americans should be playing league.
Too much talking, not enough rugby
