Lol I feel you I'm an NFL fan and after this I'm staying an NFL fan😂
Lol
After seeing so many videos of Rugby Rules, I can say this is one of the best ones: simple, clear and really for beginners. Thanks a lot 👻👻🏉🏉🏈🏈
LAWS of the game, is the book, not Rules.
@@tonyhenderson991 They’re literally the same thing
Look at the title of this video

you forgot to explain to our friends in america that we play the second half on horses
Some Americans, like me, actually enjoy rugby and wouldn't be fooled.
yeah, the learning curve was hella blast. Appreciate the humour 'round rugby with it's total 360* improv.

Got sent here for homework.
Well done for being part of the first piece of PE homework I’ve ever gotten!
Ella Harris I’ve got sent here for hw too
Great video, didn't think rugby would be this fairly easy to understand. Looking forward to the Six Nations next year
footbal has rules, rugby has LAWS, do not foget this, we,are not. footbal PLEBS
Rugby players horse around?
@@robertsnowdon4293 who hurt you?
Such a well detailed video for a parent (new to Rugby).
My 11 year old son has just started playing and now I understand it so much more.
Thankyou 🏉
It's great you are trying to understand it for him. I know it's what parents should do, but a lot of parents sadly don't try to understand what their children like, like games, music, drama etc.
currently learning rugby so that i can talk to him abt his favourite sport
Lame
Good luck 😉
Where is the lie tho
Do you really exist?
@@faceless_fables i like to think i do? why?
**This is the clearest explanation of a maul, ruck, and scrum I have seen. Thank you for putting this together!
Roll the ball straight into the scrum??? Now that right there is comedy gold.. never happens
The scrum portion just became a lot more fun for me knowing now that they have to kick it around to get it to the waiting player. I had no idea what the purpose of it was about but I initially believed it was a territory thing and not a possession.
Why does the voice over sound like the Tesco self checkout 🤣
Learning about rugby because I've given up on American football for 7 years now and finally found a reliable media provider to watch Rugby of any league. I don't understand a single bit of the rules but by God is it fun to watch! I haven't got a favorite team yet, but the Exeter Chiefs vs Harlequins is the first match I'll be studying. Cheers from America.
2 years late but im in the same boat (as an American.) Once I watched Rugby and saw how fast paced the games are I couldnt watch american football anymore. I didn't even realize in american football just how much down time there is between each play, but its a solid chunk of the game just watching everyone meander back into position to start another play. The entertainment as a viewer in rugby is far more enjoyable imo
I'm an American disenchanted with the NFL so decided to check out rugby lol. I've been watching a ton of videos about union rules and yours is the best by far. Thanks!
Without, unfortunately, knowing very much about this obviously fantastic sport, i would say that this introduction gives a good overview. If we had a club in my area when i was young, it might have been my sport. I am looking forward for the quarterfinals.
I wasn't born in Wigan but live here currently and my family isn't big on rugby. But living in Wigan, it's rugby mad. All Wigan Warriors fans except for 2. So 3 years later I've decided to get into it and will be going to my first match in under a month!
@@JDS07 howd it go
I'm playing rugby this spring for the first time, thanks for the help!
Same I got invited to play for London Scottish
We'll be praying for you! Lol!

The most helpful video I’ve found so far! Very easy to understand. Thank you for your time and energy into making this!
Apart from the back pass rule, the other big difference between Rugby and Gridiron is that you can only tackle the man with the ball in Rugby.......so in Gridiron you have your team mates taking out members of the opposition for you to clear your path to run and pass effectively. In Rugby when you have the ball the whole opposition is coming straight for you and you rely on your team mates to run with you to support your position for an effective pass or to push you on in a maul.
Gridiron - When the ball is in your possession, team mates off the ball run forward to find space and clear your path.
Rugby - When in possession, team mates off the ball get behind you and support your path.
A clarification--in Gridiron, this clearing of the path is called "blocking" and is not the same as a tackle, even though the defensive players may be knocked down by a block. Actual tackling (wrestling someone to the ground) is limited to the person in possession of the ball, similar to Rugby. There are many rules around tackling and blocking that can result in penalties in Gridiron--these rules are there to improve safety. Ultimately, Gridiron derives from Rugby, so there are many many similarities in the basics of the game.
@@unrelativistic Amendment A. I agree that I'm not well schooled in American Football. This is more of an observation than something that has been taught. Yeah, blocking is the correct terminology I believe.
What ia gridion? Lol
@@MylesTuggleMylesofglass Who said gridion?.......we was referring to Gridiron (Grid Iron) which is an archaic name for American Football. I'd assume because the pitch is like a grid and they wear a type of armour. I was using that term because it was shorter than saying American Football and so no one was confused if I just called it Football..........................unfortunately, there are always people who are confused by something, and I can't help them all I'm afraid.
@@unrelativisticYes that's correct, in Gridiron (or American Football), offensive players cannot wrap their arms around a defender in the form of a rugby tackle to clear a path. That would be a "Holding" penalty. Players are taught to keep their hands in so it's more of a pushing motion. A rugby-style tackle is only permitted when you are tackling the ball carrier.
I'm watching the Rugby World Cup for the first time and trying to learn more about the rules. It's nice seeing such a positive discourse between Rugby and Gridiron fans here, and that it hasn't immediately devolved into which sport is "best", or which sport is "tougher". Both are good in their own ways and the comment above makes a good point to illustrate that!
This video is excellent. I've always thought I would love rugby if I could only understand it. Well, now I do. Thank you!
Thank you so much for creating this video! I watched so many different guides, but they were very confusing... This helped a lot!
Great video! I’m an American and new to rugby. So much more exciting than any of the sports we have here in the states.
Check out videos of Gallagher premiership rugby some good tries scored in the competition top English league Bristol Vs Harlequins semi final worth a watch
Thanx a lot.. Excellent beginner's guide to Rugby!
What a great viedeo! Now I understand what rugby is and I can't wait to see a rugby game myself. Well done with the cartoons and everything!
Thank u for uploading this amazing and helpful video for RUGHBY !!!!!
Thank you so much, I am doing contact rugby tomorrow and I don’t even know how to play, but now I do!
How did you go?
Thanks for this Overview to this Sport!
It helped me a lot, i think with watching more Games it will become easier to understand whats going on! Thanks :)
Loved it! Good job!
The best video explanation yet.......thank you
Very useful, thank you for uploading it!
Very good video.
Explanation is great and the voice of the lady that is explaining is suited great for this video. :)
I'm using material from this video to teach my Japanese high school students about Rugby in their English class. Most of them didn't even know the world cup was happening in Japan...
You have to look up from your smart phone or manga magazine to notice things like rugby.
Thanks for the help! I’m starting Rugby this season for the first time, at least now I know the rules!
How’d it go mate? Enjoying it?
@@ryanqueenan8796 Yeah mate, how'd it go?
Excellent video, basic but very good.
Un video very didactic, thanks from Spain✌👏👏
My 12 year old son joined rugby last year. I'm more of a football ⚽ guy but I watch this so I could understand the rules of the game. I have zero knowledge of rugby before this. I'm slowly trying to learn. Thank you for making this video. Very informative 😊
Thank you for taking your effort and time to make this vid because i am starting rugby this season so now i know how to play thx:)
best demonstration and through explanation thanks
Nice use of animated and actual video to illustrate concepts.
Thank you for explain me the rules of Rugby 🏉

Thx for using your time and effort to make this vid i am very appreciated thx. This is my first season of rugby can t wait to start playing and now that i watched this vid i know how to play thx:)
he died
I've managed to get well into my 6th decade and have never watched a game of rugby but..whilst eating my tea ( or dinner if you're posh), I watched TV coverage of most of the last two games of the 2020 Six Nations (France v Wales) and latterly France v Scotland. Until now all I understood was how a Try and Conversion are scored and how many points are awarded. Anyway, I really enjoyed the games and though I've left it late (both in life and in the Rugby Season), I intend to start watching the game more. I'm English, and follow my football/soccer team (Tottenham Hotspur), and also like the NFL, following the fortunes of the Atlanta Falcons. So thanks for uploading this and can anyone suggest a team for me to follow? Thanks guys. Oh yes, also, I was really impressed with the discipline and sportsmanship of the players. The injury feigning and disrespect in Association Football appalls me more and more these days but the rugby players were real men in both their gameplay and character. Hats off to them all.
Me and you both my brother,I think that means we had lives.
amazing video so simply and explicative thanks from italy
The confusion for me is when a try is scored the conversion is kicked from different parts of the pitch sometimes right in front other times at more acute angles....!!
Nick F Well let me explain to you. In rugby for the try,which is like a touchdown in our football, you must place the ball in the in-goal(like the endzone in football) for the try to count. If you place the ball in the middle you get to kick aligned with middle. Basically you want to place the ball in the middle so the extra points are easier. Wherever you place the ball you must kick aligned with the spot where you placed it,
+Nick F The kick is taken in line with where the ball was put down for the score.
Completely agree!!! I was looking for something like this. Even if I understood that offside is really complicate.
These rules seem utterly insane. But very British and it seems like a fun game
i am understand more from the help of this wonderful video thnx for upload mate.
Very cool video! Thank you :)
Great animation 👍
5:20 this information regarding the scrum is now out of date: there now has to be a 'strike' from the foot of a player in the front row.
If you would like a more detailed explanation about the game there is a new channel called "Couch Rugby" I have watched rugby over 40 yrs and he does a great job. He explaining very imported details about the game. Good luck with your Rugby Union journey.
thanks ,very useful
this will help a lot!
I will enjoy watching this sport even more having watched this vieo.
I've watched this video like ten times and I've played rugby for almost a year and I am still always confused :D
Thought of becoming a referee? Either that or take over from Barnes on TV.
Something tells me you score points for the other team
Great video 😊
Cool, thanks!
Thanks so much now I have somewhat of a clue on whats happening during the world cup!
Getting back in to weights after decades away. Found the workout ideal because you can easily vary your effort based on ability.
Thank you
I wish the video included information on how possession of the ball is determined.This is the most confusing part for me; when or how is the defending team allowed to take the ball.
If at any moment you manage to wrestle the ball from an attacking player it is yours. But this is not easy. You can also intercept a pass if you are not offside. At the ruck if you are able to stay on your feet and drive over the fallen players it is yours. Rucks are tricky as you may not use your hands in a ruck. Also if the opponent kick the ball to you it is yours. But often a kick is high and you will get hit as you catch it. When you attack and step over sideline or kick over sideline you lose posession. If you play fowl or make a handling error you lose the ball.
They can take it whenever provided they aren't offside. In the ruck they have to be on their feet, if this is the case they can take the ball at any point.
This helped me alot
This helped a lot! On my first time at Bromly Rugby Club i scored a try!
This helped so much
Thanks
well explain
I can kick the ball to scoare a goal whenever or wherever i like?
Thanks for the info. watched all the games at 4 30 am in the morning and the final game of this tourney is England vs South Africa. England was great aganist the All Blacks. Rugby is must better than US football that has more stoppage than action
Are you American? I've heard rugby is growing over there.
@@willbrown3694 no Canadian Our team lacks talent but our Cricket is improving due to the influx of Indians and West Indians . Much of the popularity of the sport starts with the sports scholarships and i dont know if any exist in NA for rugby.
@@gcmcknight a shame. The Canadian team has class though, even if they aren't that good. One of your players personally apologized to the opposition post match for a foul he committed. You don't see that everyday.
American football is a boring stop start game that drags on for hours.....YAWN.....
Merçi! C'était clair;)
awesome sport, i played for my school team but i didnt know the rules 😂😂 i was good at tackling and really bad at everything else lol
i am from india ,,,in india 99% people do,t know about rugby ,,thanks this chanel for help to learn,,,
My favourite part is where the front rows repeatedly fall on the ground and then the refs have to randomly guess whose fault it was.
And unless you play in the front row, you'll never know......... 😏
It's so dull at these times..switch off...
Thank you so much, i´m colombian, and i want to learn more about this sport, it´s a beautiful game and i leran english at the same time. I jus have a question. Wich leagues do you recommend me to wach rugby and where i can watch it?
check the TOP14 , Premiership, URC, SuperRugby
Argentina and Chile games if you want Spanish comments
Last one. If a maul happens near the try line and they move over the line, can they score a try from within the maul? Andddd. I don't quite understand the offside graphic, but I'll probably just Google that one because it seems to be more "complicated" then the other rules. *Going to my first practice this coming week and I don't want to be completely ignorant*
After this World Cup maybe the England players need to watch this for Tips! How throw a line out correctly and when to take a penalty kick!!
Scotty 78 they must have taken your advice. Grand Slam and unbeaten in 2016
@@Zkkr429
Nah...they got a decent coach.
Doing all right in the current world cup
@@Gambit771 not good enough
Good video 👌👍
Hi England rugby can I please use this video for my website?
Nice video 👌👌
There's no mention of a "knock-on" - is this term not used in the UK?
I love rugby
thx
I'd love to see some real slow motion examples of the intricacies of the ruck, with the poacher and cleaner and the timings better explained. I'd love to make a graphical video myself. Rugby needs it. It's so much better managed than Football right now.
Good, basic intro. Wish I'd seen this before the 2019 world cup.
Rugby is the best sport on earth
and the game that's played in heaven
*handegg
Yes the greatest game of all.
Yes😊
Football ⚽ is the best sport.
Very Nice. Can i get this for Cricket?
Played this for the school team, got a bit banged up but it was bloody good fun.
I need to do a presentation about rugby at school tomorrow and I think this video really saved my grades. (greetings from Germany 😊)
I'd pay to see a full contact game for the over 75s.
Wth?!
A very basic guide but useful nonetheless. Perhaps th 5 yard line in front of the try line could have been included and what happens when a defending player has the ball over the try line. Stuff about mauls starting after a lineout would have been goo too. And calling a mark...
My coach sent this to me I guess I gotta watch it
in the maul the team which was deffending at the time is getting the scrum
How can they ensure that the line out play ball is thrown in straight in the middle?
The touch judge (man with the flag) watches from behind the player throwing the ball.
new rugby fan here
Yes but is there cte?
And is there a penalty if the scrum half favors their team when they toss the ball into the scrum? (Ie. Tosses it more to their team's side as opposed to right in the middle)
There should be a sanction, but it’s never enforced for some reason.
I understand
Letting the ball go and releasing the tackled opponent is the rule in a tackling situation not ruck. Rucks usually happen simultaneously or subsequently but not necessarily
Which team takes the lineout? The team in possession? Which team has possession?
The team that doesn't send the ball out of the field throws the lineout (Supposedly in between of the two lines, but they usually try to throw it slightly closer to their line). The line who catches the ball is now in possession of it and will try to play it.
9:06 Help me out here, this seems to me to be more of an example of a double movement than of a ruck?
Still confused but I'll keep watching until I get it!
This is easy to follow. BTW what is a "breakdown"?
Also do TURN DOWN the volume of the highlights, it was pleasant to listen to the explanations till suddenly my eardrums almost burst due to the sudden extremely loud cheering from the highlights!
how can offense score points during a rugby match?
Joining rugby soon wish me luck
Where do you kick the ball from for the conversion?
wherever after the try line that the ball is touched down, in a vertical line from one side of the pitch to the other ( H-bar to H-bar ) is where the kicker is allowed to take the conversion from, usually wherever on that line he feels comfortable.
E.g: try is scored directly in between the H-bars, the conversion will be taken practically dead infront of the H-bar at any distance he wishes.
22 meter line
Any distance, as long as it is in line with where the try was scored.
When the video mentioned respect why did I laugh at the doodle of the guy sitting on the opposite player
