Rugby is the best thing that ever happened to me and my life!!Made so many friends and helped to get me over a serious problem!
Me too bro me too
Same man. I am from India and I got introduced to it by the Rugby 08 video game. I am amongst the handful of Indians who watch the sport and every world cup I watch it alone and scream at my tv screen all by myself. Thankfully, this time I managed to convince 3 of my friends to follow the world cup and guess what, they are hooked now.
Welcome to Rugby World Cup 2015!
#fabworldcupopeningfilm Best Ever.Huzzah! well done, lads!
+World Rugby can new zealand win the 2015 rugby world cup?
+Yong Geun Song ..... ummmm YES!!!!!!!!!!
Based upon rebellion...
As Lucifer rebelled against God.
.....What's up with 23/9?
+ChristsSaved 1823 => 923 ;)
skull and bones
falling at 3:33 => 333
light at 23'
I was in the stadium watching this video it gave me goosebumps! In the context of the whole atmosphere etc. One of the best moments of my life. To all the guys who said the opening ceremony was average or worse, it definitely was a case of you had to actually be there!
love how they put the "I vow to thee my country" and the Rugby World cup anthem together. From what I recall, the two anthems are both played to the exact tune.
So the next rugby World Cup will mark 200 years of rugby
2023
To who it may concern,
First of all, I'm trying to be more polite as I can because I'm trying to use this to direct a message to the World Rugby. I live in Brazil and we are over 200 million people very passionate about sports, as you can see by soccer. However unfortunately not the same about Rugby yet. So I'm here to make an appeal to you guys from the World Rugby to help people to know Rugby in Brazil and get in love for this amazing sport. What i'm here to ask in simple, could you try add some subtitles in Portuguese to some of your videos, doesn't need to be all of them just a few such as the opening ceremony would be great to start and it will make everyone knows more about rugby
kind regards
Very polite
Victor Gerheim football*
they call it soccer
wow you very polite
u dont have a brazilian name?
Played rugby from the age of 5 up until my late 20s and even had a few games in my 30s I’m 35 now but I’m glad I got to experience the greatest team sport in the world.. so many memories wins and loses emotional times and very happy times so many bonds created with friends playing rugby
Whos here waiting for tokyo 2019

This is just beautiful, il look back on this in fifty years and have a tear saved for that moment, when realised I was lucky to play the greatest sport in the world 🏴🌹🏉
Lomu at full pace gave me goosebumps.
RIP big guy
Jona a world class rugby player a brilliant All black loved by Newzealand but well respected in Wales A good player and a good man we miss you Jona R I P
I still remember watching Samoa vs Japan and France vc Canada in Milton Keynes and I don't think much will ever top that, especially with my mate performing before one of the games with his band. What a time to have seen it
I live 10 minutes from Rugby town and love being there, come on England!!!!! proud! X
waiting for this comment hahahh
@@breadyboy6961 waiting for this comment... 5 years later?
@@sophiedavis1406 better late than never :)
I'm from Mallorca but I did a trip to Coventry a few years ago, and going to visit Rugby was a must do. I had to be in the place where rugby was born by all means.
It was worth it!
Ps: you still living next to Rugby?
@@macflow14 lol I got a scholarship to the school
@@maxosiatynski9987 haha how is it then?
Rugby union is among my favorite sports.
It's among my favorites because I liked the tackles while trying to score points, 2019 was the first time I got much involved in rugby union 🏉, in India once in 4 years rugby is telecasted (only during men's Rugby union World Cup). Lots of memories created in 2019 World Cup for me.
Love from India 🇮🇳
Keep watching my friend Rugby is for the world to enjoy and one day India can have their own team and compete
Who is here after Japan 2019
Best mistake in history

This year's 2023 Rugby World Cup in France marks the bicentennial (200 Year Anniversary) of the 'invention' of the sport itself of 'Rugby Union', that it is STILL today by the once young 'William Webb Ellis'!
HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT?!
🏉
Webb ellis was the real inventor of rugby union but his sport was overshadowed by rugby league 72 years later.
@@MisterPolitical1 AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA rugby league? What's that?
@No Name rugby league is a breakaway rugby football code formed in 1895.
@@MisterPolitical1 I know, I was joking because nobody knows or follow it, except in Australia
@@NoName-hg6cc nz, png are other top countries
When the owner of the ball gets pissed off but everyone else still wants to play
Incredible story!!!!!! Rugby our game is too !!! Best wishes from Georgia!
What a great sport this is, Love RU from India ❤️
Same man. I am also from Kolkata, India and I got introduced to it by the Rugby 08 video game. I am amongst the handful of Indians who watch the sport and every world cup I watch it alone and scream at my tv screen all by myself. Thankfully, this time I managed to convince 3 of my friends to follow the world cup and guess what, they are hooked now. This is the best sport and I have no problem saying it albeit I am a massive football fan (Mohun Bagan).

Soccer naturally leads to Rugby. I used to be goalkeeper at my school in Switzerland and one day felt the desire to run across the field with the ball still in my hands. Of course, the opposite team players started to do the same. Ever since Rugby became part of the curriculum and I like to believe there is now a Rugby Union Club in my old town ;)
I have a feeling that you’re lying
Really well rounded video using a little history and advancing through time to the modern era in a beautifully striking display to really inspire rugby fans and flame their passion of the sport. The only thing I would've liked to have seen added is the ball returning to Earth transforming into the modern Gilbert ball. Other than that this is one awesome video.
still get goosebumps watching this
LOL was that Clive Woodward throwing his hat down?
Did anyone spot all the former international players in the crowd on the pitch side?
That was Clive Woodward the guy throwing his hat down
Yup
Goosebumps ❤️
Love how he passes it to ghosts of a distant past legends.
Asa Butterfield ❤❤❤❤❤
As someone who lives in rugby i remember everwhere was just the world cup, the library opened w tonne of new stuff and i find it hard to believe that its almost been 4 years
My favourite opening to this day.
"Don't worry Jonny that will never take off" 😂😂😂
Lol
Great !!! I'll probably show this to my pupils on monday... A good introduction to Rugby.
本当素晴らしいＲＷＣ… 2015年は伝説の年
Johnny Wilkinson sees someone refusing to kick and instead runs with the ball “what’s he doing?” 😂
Underrated comment 🤣🤣
He's has a cameo role being a groundsman
This was such a great World Cup.
Let us meet again in 2019.
One of many sports that were developed in the UK in fact there is no doubt this is the home of modern sports , the country that first put sports into the schools curicculam .
Lomu. What a legend. Rest in peace sir
Rugby é meu esporte favorito
One word thanks for this video
More than amazing!
This is Rugby! Bravo!
Prince Harry been a gardener tho hahaha 😂😂😂 and say this will never catch on omg hahah
+Katryn Stewart Was that Gerard Butler as the other one?
+SchwarzeWitwe2 yea it's was
+QU3STION5 very true
Jonny Wilkinson
katryn stewart because he is English and it was the opener for the world rugby cup in England and absolutely Johnny Wilson was near him to English famous people because Johnny plays for England so that is why he is famous and prince Harry too is famous but does not play
Awesome intro!!
great!!!
A+ !!!!!
Remind me why Harry wasn't cast as Lady Chatterley's Lover?
+GotLostProductions Robb Stark
Negativebunnyhunters
Awesome
I am excited for this!! :) This and American Football :)
Four years ago tomorrow!
amazing !!!!!!!
Wonderful stuff! :D
I'm so Happy
I remember watching this
awesome intro
Good Luck to South Africa, wish all the best boys
Japan 34-32 South Africa 😂
+Oliver McCall (wingding341) that's b*******
+Long Leather Coat Haha 😂
+Oliver McCall (wingding341) I couldn't believe that the Springboks lost to Japan oh well hope Japan makes it to the knockout stages and it's coming from an All Black fans
+Long Leather Coat Same here, coming from a Home Nations fan! 😂
It's back again 8 September 2023.
This is how they created the beautiful sport that we love called rugby
Yes rugby there is no other game I love it!
Best intro ever
Been waiting too long. RWC!!!!!!
This should’ve been used at the RWC opening this year if this tournament is celebrating 200 years of Rugby
Yeah!!!!
hola es un honor mandar esto yo juego al rugby ace 2 años y es un juego de respeto y honor
why is there black people if this is 19th century england
because - shock horror - this isn't a video of what happened its an imagining which is inclusive to encourage more diversity in those viewing.
Because times have changed and Black people have the same rights as white people now.This isn't the 19th century anymore it's the 21st!
The black man is Serge Betsen, who played in the french national team for 10 years, and for the wasps at the end of his career. Nevertheless, I did not recognize the others...
+God of War And yet the video is clearly set in the 19th century so the question stands.
+God of War Yeah.... but it's set in the 19th Century....
rugby is great games
my best commercial
Is that the boy from Merlin?
Absolutley brilliant!!!👌👍
"come on England" the birthplace of great sports🌷🌍🏆🏈💪👊☝
+DJ Peepin Tom Was a good win.Come on England!
Yes what a great game and a good start for England. The best sports in the world were born on this island rugby, football, golf(Scotland i know) cricket etc etc the list goes on. With rugby we actually have a great chance at winning it espeacially on home soil... 🙏🙏🙏
👍✊✌☝☝☝
+DJ Peepin Tom And yet they suck at all of them... Also baseball > cricket. Football > Rugby. Basketball > soccer.
Just Getting By 11 cricket world cups, England has won 0. Rugby World Cups 7 England has won 1. That's not a very good record, especially since there isn't that many total countries that seriously care about these sports. How many countries seriously play Rugby? Like 6. How many countries seriously play cricket? Like 10.
Just Getting By USA isn't even in the same group as Tonga... But don't let the facts get in the way of your nonsense. We played Samoa and lost by 9..
Also Fun Fact Alert: USA is the two time defending Gold medalist in Rugby at the Olympics.
Also you are kind-of proving my point. In America we don't play Rugby. We have a national team, because we have a national team in everything. Yet we are ranked 15th in the world. That shows just how many countries actually play Rugby. It's around 10. To show how little we play Rugby in America, they aren't even showing the Rugby World Cup on tv.
There is probably as many countries that play baseball seriously as there are that play Rugby seriously. Baseball: USA, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama, Puerto Rico, Curacao, Nicaragua. These are countries where baseball is very popular.
La magie des chants anglais... 🤩
so proud to be a rugbeian
Here in new Zealand we call this the game they play in heaven...
Does anyone know whether the captain's speech contains any elements of historical truth ?
so there was a black guy in the first 1823 rugby game?
This isn't a documentary you know.
Cause it's an Advertisement you Mong
That's Pelē
For everyone, someone can tell me who is all the " old " rugbymen we see during the clip from the beginning to the end ? ( I know Serge Blanco, Jonah Lomu, David Campese, Jason Robinson, Brian O'Driscoll, but the others....I don't know them, sorry :) )
Thanks guys and enjoy the WC !
Cheers from Britanny, France.
i smirk when he catches the ball and then looks around
#RWC #2015 #LoveRugby
Billy Beaumont's wearing well!
YAYYYYY
Dressed up I saw Bill Baumont, Will Greenwood, Jason Leonard, Ian McGeekan, Serge Betson (I don't recognize who was beside Betson), Clive Woodward, and of course Wilkonson and Prince Harry.
Wasn't Magne next to Betson? Also I think that's Maggie Alphonsi next to Sir Clive.
I'm hoping for a rush victory this (Hardly)would love to see Samoa or Tonga Wong this year in 2019
Good video !!!!!!!!!
Nice hat Asa dude
The video is sensationnal ! And I also love the music : what is the title of it ?
Thanks
+bibiche7717 It's the Rugby World Cup them called "World In Union"
+cariadaberboy Thank you ! :)
+cariadaberboy I Vow to Thee My Country
+rob poynter it's a section of 'Jupiter' from 'The Planet Suite' - Gustav Holst.
True. But I think most people would know it from 'I vow...'
That kid is the kid who made the best sport ever
Gareth Edwards for Wales! What a legend.
He was the welsh barbarian that scored a try against all blacks at Cardiff Arms Park 50 years ago.
He was Wales best #9 pre 1996.
@@MisterPolitical1 What a game that was !
@@MisterPolitical1 LEGEND!
The best sport ever 🏴🏴🏴
That's the guy from that show on Netflix
Tokyo is so close now from September 10 2019
Prince Harry & Johnny Wilkinson are cameo groundsmen
A tribute to the 1800s lads in the Rugby schools and the 1300s towns mob in folk football.
2019 rugby world cup japan just beat scotland
Yeetwch y Baban and japan just lost to the springboks 😂
@@ayo76600 and wales are gonna beat the springboks
Ooooo bold claims
UGH IM SCOTTISH DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT MATCH
William Web Ellis being portrayed as a school house member! No, no, no. What were they thinking? He was a day pupil.
Asa !!!!!!!!!
Best opening ceremony ever!
Every World Cup Year l come looking for this intro and then make I Vow to thee My Country my ringtone
jerusalem should be our national anthem
+Frank Roberts Indeed, though the song played at the start was 'I vow to thee, my country'. At certain parts they sound similar.
+BRob 2015 I vow to thee my country and Jerusalem are good choices.
Frank Roberts IT IS NOW
Jerusalem wouldn't make sense being England's national anthem. I vow to Thee should.
KingEdwards the problem with I vow to thee is that it is the music of world in union which is the official RWC song
That speech tho!
sorry but y in the opening ceremony was john hays Ireland legend and not o driscal (bad spelling I know )
-only just realises Asa Butterfield was at my school-
alguém tem o vídeo com legenda!? em português..
