Hi Everyone :),.Feel free to show your support and buy me a haircut >>>> buymeacoffee.com/couchrugby
Currently watching the RWC with my dad and your videos have helped me understand the game a bit better.. thanks. Much love from SA 🇿🇦
Happy it's clearing things up for you :)
@@couchrugbysame here this guy should get a gig teaching basics to young boys. Explains it so well
What's a penalty. Do you have a video I can watch before the final so I understand
I'm so glad to have come across your channel recently.
I've been bingeing on your videos, because they have helped me to clear a fog I've always had about certain aspects of play, even after some attempts people made to explain to me.
Thank you for your great videos.
Full faith to SA for the World Cup. But whatever happens, I'll always be proud of our team.
New Couch Rugby video to start the weekend! YES! (loving the fancy new graphics, too!)
Thanks I am hoping it makes the examples easier to follow
I first played rugby in 1988, needless to say the game has changed a lot and I have forgotten a lot! This channel is amazing to brush up on whats what and also teach things I actually never knew. Having tons more knowledge about the game has made watching so much more enjoyable! And as a volunteer coach for U6s -U7s SUPER helpful! My colleague is absolutely new to rugby and has found this channel super helpful and very watchable! Thanks you so much! Please keep it up!
You are welcome! and thankyou:) Yes Rugby is always changing, but there are some things that never change either.
I commend you for coaching the young ones, happy the channel is helping clear some things up for you too. feel free to ask questions in the videos if you need things cleared up. I try to get to most of the comments.
I never played rugby at school and struggled to fully enjoy watching games due to a lack of understanding. This series have been a great help - very well explained in short concise parts. Lekker!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thankyou😁
That was great! Really helpful. Back when I first watched rugby, i was confused why it was always the same player who was collecting the ball. Great audio and didactic style
Thanks for your videos, full of great and easy to follow information that has made watching the Rugby World Cup much more enjoyable! Thanks man
You are excellent at explaining and importantly you understand it, and that combination makes a good teacher. I enjoy your posts as they increase my knowledge of the game.
I love this explanation. Very entertaining to watch but, as someone who is quite illiterate when it comes to sport, I now have a much better understanding of the critical role played by the number 9. Thank you so much for this. Now I really am going to be able to enjoy the Ireland / Scotland game today even more.
I've found these very useful while coaching, especially age-grade rugby, as it strips out the extra complicated facets. One video I would love to see is something on kicking for touch, the difference from inside/outside the 22, the 50:22, when the ball is bounces behind the dead ball line in-goal, etc.
This sereis has been really helpfull for me as I've started playing rugby for school and I didn't know the rules or how positions played but now I do! They also want to play me in fullback for the rest of the season so it would be helpfull to have a video on that if you have to time. Love your vids keep it up!
Thoroughly enjoying these explainers.
Great video! Thank you! 👍🏼
I have started playing Rugby for the first time and find your videos really helpful. Thank you! Could you make a video explaining the penalties? it is still something I struggle with during game time. Great videos and keep it up!
Great channel, I love your videos! I recently got interested in rugby, but here in Canada we almost never hear about it or see it on tv. The World Cup is playing now so I can watch matches, and your videos are helping me. Only complaint I have: in your logo you have a US football ball on the couch, c'mon man
I'm just getting into my first rugby season and I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this channel! Your videos have helped me grow a lot and made me play and understand rugby very well and very fast, keep up the good work!👍
PD: Could you make a video about the tactics of kicking? I am quite baffled on what all the back and forth kicking is all about during open play. I have found some old videos which give me a grasp on this matter but there aren't many good videos explaining it the way you do! Thought it'd be a good addition to the Rugby 101 series. Cheers🙌
Hi Moose 😁🤣
Stoked its been helping you!
Thanks for the suggestion, I need to have a think about where and how I will incorporate it, but it is a great topic to discuss
Really liked this different format. Definitely works for backs
Love your vids man I am a scrum-half from SA🇿🇦
great video, thank you
Very well structured and explained. Thank you.
Thankyou :)
Love the series! Keep em coming
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you!
Awesome video mate. Really well presented
Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the tutorials. I started following rugby after Netflix's Six Nations: Full Contact.
Great work - thanks !! I'm a Canadian living in DR ... My friend from England introduced me to Rugby this week (watching the World Cup) **. did not even know this sport really existed !! (Cannucks tend to live under the snow!!) ... This is an awesome game ... Kicks American football's ASS !! Thank you for your detailed explanations ... (who would of thought the player's number has a relationship to his position ????) --- Your method of explaining the game in it's simplest for and detail is great !!! Keep up the good work !!! ps. I'm 64 and just beginning to figure out this game .... thanks to you, I'll have something more to do then watch grass grow !! Stay on the couch dude !!! YOU are appreciated !! A new Rugby Fan !!!! whooo hoooooooo !!! Now, if I can only figure out WTF they make those shirts from, so they don't rip ??????? must be Fu8796g Kevlar !!!!
So good. Welcome to Rugby!
Your enthusiasm for your new found sport is just jumping of my screen. Love it!
You may also love to know that there is Rugby on all year round.
And thankyou, appreciate your appreciation.
Another great vid, is there any chance please you could do one on the various ‘offside’ rules?
Very cool. I learned my nephew is now a Scrumhalf after being a #10 for a couple of years.
Great video, comment for the algorithm
great video thanks . I would had added a few examples of 9s to jump from theory to practice, and let us know your personal view on some players a differences among them.
Great series. I have an idea for a video. One on all the signals the referees use. You have been pointing them out when needed, but a video on just this topic would be nice.
That is a good idea. thankyou will add it to the list.
I thought I new how to play rugby because I've watched it for a really long time, but I just joined my college club and I realized how little I know lol. Your vids are helping me bridge the gap
Amazing! Yes, seeing and playing is a bit different isn't it. Playing is a lot more fun though.
Thank you so much sir. You explained it super well and that's the part that I least understood as well as what constitutes a penalty in rugby
So am I correct saying a loose analogy is that the 9 is like the equivalent of a traditional 6 or 8 in olden football. Literally orchestrating play between defense and attack and the 10 is like the showman and headline act of the team like Zidane, Ronaldinho, Del Piero etc
Using my analogy above so who is the rugby equivalent of a centre forward in rugby like a Raul, Harry Kane, Kluivert etc. Doing minimal but gettkng the points. It can't be the rugby 10 as you said he runs the atgackyso he is like a playmaker isn't he
Thanks so much
Anyone watching please quickly give me brief breakdown of a penalty and when it's awarded
Cheers lads regards from Zimbabwe
Can you do a positional video for NRL. I like how you explain things so even an American can understand.
Love it. I’m a 9
Thanks for the video. I have heard the #10 described as similar to and American Football Quarterback and I can see why. That said, it is really hard for me not to see the #9 as a QB type as well because how much he or she handles the ball. Is that a fair comparison? Also, really like how you use videos showing men, women, and even kids playing rugby!
Thanks Patrick, yes I feel its important to show Rugby is not only for big bruising men.
In regards to your understanding of the 9, you are not wrong. The 10 is Rugby's version of the QB, but because rugby offence/attack is carried out over multiple phases before a stoppage, rather than stop after one phase or down as it is called in American football and resetting for another set play, its hard for a team to solely rely on one player to control the game. The team still need to be able to run the next phase while the 10 is on the ground or at the bottom of a ruck for example.
So it really is a team effort between the 9 and 10 to control, the 10 is just higher in the pecking order in most teams.
@@couchrugby Thanks for the response!
At the risk of asking a sporttalk radio question, what's a better analogy for the scrum half, basketball point guard (my view) or gridiron footbal quarterback?
mmm my understanding of basketball is limited, but if the point guard is the smaller player used to carry the ball up court and then tries to set up the taller players?💁♂️
Then i would say they are more like the point guard in basketball while the Flyhalf is more like the QB in American football.
I’ve seen a 6ft 1 half back an 116 kg an he never got tired controlled the forwards an won the rugby game with his perfect passing an fast thinking an his mentality an physical attributes with his huge fend - I just think it doesn’t matter how you look- just matters if you can pass off the ground an you can just pass good all round, box kick an it’s just upto the individual
Thats what makes Rugby great, the blue print is very flexible. I have also seen locks that look like props and wingers that look like number 8s.
even though i have watched rugby for donkeys years, this was v informative, thanks
winger vid pls
I'm not quite sure I understand the point of the scrum if the scrumhalf is just going to roll the ball straight to their teammates anyway. What purpose does it really serve?
And mate, your hair is gorgeous!
Hi Edgar
Fair question. It's not so much about winning the ball anymore, but rather about front foot vs backfoot ball. It is very hard to attack of a retreating scrum yet amazing to attack of a scrum moving forward, especially as the backlines defensive line has to also fall back as the scrum is moving back, they have to maintain a 5m distance from the hind most feet in the scrum until the ball is out.
So if its your put in, your are scrumming for front foot ball, and if its not your put in, you are scrumming to put your opposition on the back foot. If you win the ball against the put in, its a bonus.
and Thankyou :)
@@couchrugby Thanks for explanation! I'll be looking for a video all about the scrum to get more details.
Justin Marshall
Does it matter significantly if i am a bit taller then an average 14 year old because i love to play scrum half but the only problem i have is my height
There have been tall scrumhalves. It just means you will have to work harder than the average 9. With the right conditioning you can mitigate that a lot, but you will always have to prove that you are not hindered by your height. So your fitness will be key.
4:25 Ben Youngs taking his time…..as usual.
The scrum half doesn't have to feed the ball down the middle. The law states that he/she can stand with their forward shoulder in line with the middle and then put the ball in straight. This means the ball lands on their team's side of the tunnel. The hooker must then strike for the ball or will be free-kicked. It's true that refs are sometimes lenient, but many fans don't realise that it doesn't have to go down the middle.
What is a good free website to access and keep up with current rugby news? Thanks, from an ignorant American.
Hi Walter. I find the best place to keep up to date is to join the www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/ subreddit.
All rugby information and updates from all websites around the world finds its way onto the subreddit very quickly.
I honestly do not believe there is a stand out website, they all have their pros and cons. especially as Rugby is so global, the best place to get your news and stay up to date is to join the global community o Reddit.
Thanks. Will check it out. Also, sounds like half of Australia is on a cruise ship off the coast of France right now. Could be an invasion. @@couchrugby
Thanks. I'll check it out.@@couchrugby
Faf de klerk seems like the most number 9, number 9
Facts
The scrum-halfs start the agro, then hide behind the second rows.
*Does something important*, They annoy
I can't stand Faf de Klerk.
Why 😂😅 Us in Africa love him to bits.
Is he a bit too much for opposing fans😂
Regards and enjoy the final sir
@@GrumpyTinashe thank you, I will.
You must hate him even more after the final 😂
