Rugby is one of the most inclusive, respectful, and emotional communities that I have ever been a part of. It's not just your team, everyone who plays rugby is family... wherever you go in the world.
Well said
So true , your team mates are becoming friends for life
Between players I'd agree, but when it comes to coaching I'd say not so much. Soccer is way more inclusive when it comes to terms of 'anyone can play'. I started playing rugby when I was 7 and because I was smaller I got put into scrum-half. But I was a way better full-back. I could read the game well and snipe but my passing was nowhere near good enough to be a top scrum-half. I was a way better full-back because I could tackle and added an extra option from kicking off the tee. But I never got a chance at any elite level because I was small. They just shoved me into 9 and then were disappointed when I didn't play well. I was a 9 when we were like 8-10 and playing mini-rugby when it was still like 10 aside or whatever. In the 15s game it's a whole different story. I jacked rugby in when I was 15 and started playing footy full time. I was playing with adult men when I was 16. Obviously not at professional level but a decent level nonetheless, considering I'd never played competitive 11 aside football before. Rugby is completely biased to players who are bigger. Sure, you get the odd anomaly- the exception that proved the rule so to speak but rugby is generally biased towards bigger players. It's 100% not an everymans game, unlike footy. I know it's a different sport but come on.
Except if you're an Australian eUgby player who is a christian like Israel Folau.
I disagree. There are so e players who are just mean. Period.
I liked playing against them.
When the first whistle blows they are your worst enemy, when the final whistle blows they are your best friends. So lives rugby.
That is probably the best way to explain rugby, they give each other hell for 80+ minutes but as soon as the game is over everything that has happened on the pitch is forgotten. And it's the same with the fans you don't see fights after a rugby game between fans
We always say a hooligans game played by gentlemen 😄
Especially after eating and drinking together
Win or lose on the booze
and because of the International/Professional nature of Rugby, many of the players can be on the same team for their country and a different team as professional. Truly incredible to watch them pound on each other one week and fight for each other the next :)
The man walking out at Murrayfield with the tartan (plaid) suit on is Doddie Weir an ex Scotland player who 7 years ago was diagnosed with MND and told he wasn’t expected to live more than 3 years, as I say he’s lasted 7 so far. He has raised over £7 million pounds for his foundation that helps to find a cure to MND. There was a documentary a couple of years back on the BBC and all he said was he wanted to last until he saw his 50th birthday and that was 2 year ago, I was in absolute floods of tears, I grew up with him as one of my heroes. He has been an absolute wonderful ambassador for rugby and the way that the rugby world has came together to help raise money for his charity not just within Scotland but all over the world has been nothing short of incredible.
Sports change our lives. And rugby changed my life. I respect you.
The one running on for the last 5 mins in a game of rugby league for Leeds Rhino looking upset is Rob Burrow who was also diagnosed with MND.
He now can only speak via machine. He has two little girls. 😔
I remember Andy Robertson discribing him as "6ft2 and 17 stone of runaway roadroller"
Well said. A legend on and off the pitch.
I bought a Scotland Tour T shirt of Dodie at Ballymore, Dodie and another Scotland player were selling t shirts around Ballymore prior to the Test Match.
All the best to you Dodie, you are a gent and a giant of the game.
Mike in Brisbane.
Rugby saved my life, I played rugby in school and when I went to England after school I found a club and love playing, when I got back to South Africa I was 22 years old, I was back only for 6 months and had a plane crash, the Dr's said I would never walk again, and when I accomplished that, they said my right side would always be paralyzed, I took me a year to start walking and about 2 years to get full use of all my limbs. Then I was about 26 when I went to a rugby field again just to start training, but the love of the sport was like a drug, looking back I should of never played again as I have 5 steel plates in me and my back was still not 100% as of broke the lower part, I won't lie, I took shots for pain and all sorts, but I also look back and if I never played, I probably would be using every excuse not to do anything and be a vegetable! It's because of rugby I have pushed myself in life
i just started at age 28 absolutly adore the sport. love the phisicalety. love the respect if this is adiction it is one i do not mind having
Rugby is not a game it is a war and we keep it on the battlefield and it is a war that has rules you respect your opponent because just like you he is putting his own blood, sweat and tears on that field. and that is why WE LOVE AND RESPECT THIS DAMN GAME!
If I'm not mistaken, the guy crying in the rain at 5:20 is because one of his relative died a few days ago, in 2019, of a heart attack. He was also a rugby player, his name was Ibrahim Diarra. The public pays tribute to him in the video at 4:14
And the guy crying is Djibril Camara (he was playing for Bayonne at this time but he played for Stade Français Paris most of his career) Ibrahim Diarra was his cousin, he passed away on dec 18th 2019.
@@jmi4754 czcams.com/video/uk_bnp43fHQ/video.html
@@jmi4754 At the end of the game between Bayonne and Brive (France - 2019), the captain of the second team, Saïd Hireche (N°7), came to hug Djibril Camara to share his sorrow and express his heartfelt condolences. Hireche was a friend of Ibrahim Diarra.
As a South African who grew up around rugby ...
Rugby brought a big underlined peace within our nation.
Thank you for the real RESPECT you've show to those Athletes.
🇿🇦👑🇿🇦❤
for sure
That is so very true. South African to the bone !!
The fijian players held up the ball girl before the final of the Hamilton 7s a couple of years ago, because they felt she had as much right to be on the field as themselves, was a awesome gesture, the crowd went nuts!🏉👊👍

And to Jonah Lomu
As a kid playing rugby in a small New Zealand town, we were taught to respect the other team. Sure, we knock them down as hard as we can. But if we lost, we would line up and clap the other team off. Sometimes if we beat a team, we would walk "the tunnel" of the other players, then do the same for them. It was an amateur game (and even though its pro now, its heart is amateur), and it taught kids how to sacrifice their needs for the needs of their team, how to look out for each other, and to respect one another. That is why we hold the game in such high regard, and why we hold the All Blacks in high regard, they are epitome (or should/try be) of all that we value.
And here on the other side of the world in England I was taught the same values . You are there to win so play hard but fair and at the end of the game regardless of the result leave what happened on the field and shake your opponents hand they deserve your respect .
Same thing is South Africa mate ,respect your oponent ,but dont give him an inch on the pitch
@@oldtighthead2459 yeah, my hero as a young player was Michael Jones. Honourable, lovely guy.. mess with him on the field and you'll get nailed in the hardest tavkle you've ever been hit with... nothing illegal, just no mercy :)
Played rugby as a child in Portugal, and the values that were passed to me are my base as Human. And still it's my favourite sport till today
Yes here in Wales we play by the same standards.. respect everyone in the game and the ref also...the game is a way of life...builds friends family and community
When you are a rugby player you are apart of a worldwide family, you can go to any rugby club in the world and you are always welcome.
"third half" in rugby means...
Post-match socialization with the opposing team, often involving traditional songs, drinking and food.
For context 11:46 thats Sonny Bill Williams... the kid ran onto the pitch when the all blacks were applauding the crowd having just won the world cup... Sonny Bill just gave the kid his world cup winners medal and walked him back to his parents
That kid tried running up to the team from the stands but was stopped by a security personnel. He ran back towards the seats but then vaulted over the fence and ran toward the AB team and was tackled by another security guard just as he reached the AB. Sonny Bill diffused the situation with the security guard. He gave his gold medal to the kid when they reached the kid's mom.
This is why I love Rugby Union. They are killing each other during the match but when it's over they just get over it and salute each other. And the way the players respecting the referees is just special.
Rugby has many traditions, one in particular applies especially to club and school level all around the world, which is to provide your visiting team with a cooked meal after a game. There are also speeches from captains in the clubhouse or school hall. It's about friendships and camaraderie. Rugby clubs are usually run by families. This is why this sport is unique.
Yeah that definitely doesn't exist in Australian school/club rugby. Maybe in social rugby sure.
I’ve played rugby in NZ, England and Australia. Aussies are the only country that didn’t have this tradition which I found a bit of a let down.
in my country it a tradition even at the highest level youu can play
Respect comes from within the man, that's why you don't see idiots playing Rugby.
Keep on enjoying
Well, there's idiots everywhere... check out the sunday leages haha, but yeah, way more respect in Rugby than in 99% of the Sports I ever watched
Trust me, there are plenty of idiots that play the game.
Not so many in the pro game, but they still exist, it's just not tolerated by the majority.
I’m a Kiwi, I started playing rugby at 5, officially stopped playing at 50. In that time the overwhelming majority were good blokes, the others either got a dealt to by someone. But when the final whistle went, all was forgiven and ended up laughing about it in the changing sheds. The best part of rugby really is the spirit of the game afterwards.
It's a big sport for big men in every respect.
There is an old saying that “soccer/football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans and rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen”.
Don’t ever hear any asshole rascist chants in a rugby match not saying it’s everyone in football but you seem too have a better class of people in the stands and on the pitch in rugby.
@@jakeyb6453 Respect is baked into the culture of rugby. I think a big part of that comes from the obvious relationship between ref and player... Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Japan has taken to rugby so well, given how respect is so central to their way of thinking.
thugs not hooligans
These guys don’t play for money ,they play for the love of the game ,love of your country for the love of your team mates, for the love of the competition ,for the love of the supporters.
Hard honourable men everyone of them.
Sportsmanship at its best 😁🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
It's a community, that's what it is coach. Everyone has to look out for each other in the end. No matter what.
Coach, another Kiwi here now living in the USA. The game of rugby is actually a big worldwide community. It’s truly an international sport and a lot of these guys you see playing against each other have at times played with each other. There’s always an after match function even after international matches where these guys chat and drink beer and reminisce and tell stories and salute the chosen “player of the day” usually by raising their beer n cheering. The referees are expected to attend these after match functions and usually indulge in conversation and drinks with the players. One of the great things is that the referee is the sole arbiter of the game and on occasions does make mistakes, therefore at the after match function often times has to put up with some ridicule, joking and lighthearted banter about the way they performed during the game. Rugby clubs are the heart and sole of many smaller communities around the world with young men moving to power house countries to improve their game and get an overseas experience. As an example, a lot of Pacific Islanders go to New Zealand and get put up in group homes and supplied jobs to play for smaller provincial clubs for both experience and to improve their skills and provide numbers for smaller community teams. Many players in New Zealand at the end of their careers go to Europe to cash in on long illustrious caress. As part of the rugby community if you find yourself in a foreign country and need somewhere to go, if you find a rugby club you will always be welcomed with open arms and generally treated as part of the family. When you get the chance CZcams Rugby World Cup highlights n you’ll get to see some of the minnows of the game going up against the power houses. The USA are at the world cups and always do themselves proud. Also watch another version of the game Rugby 7’s where there are only 7 guys on each side instead of 15 played on a full sized field. The USA have been 7’s global champs. Happy watching mate 👍
Hangi’s back home are amazing at local clubs after a game. But getting a hangi cooked in Acton here in London a few years ago at the London New Zealand club was awesome. It took me right back home and reminded me of my Maori Grandad laying down many hangi’s over the years and always having a great time having good company, good laughs and good Kai after a game on a cold Wintery New Zealand afternoon.
Lovely message that but I don't think the USA won a 7's series, have they?
Hi David here Rugby is a great game where respect is number 1 I myself played for 40 years as player, coach and Ref. I'm glad you showed this video because it made me proud being part of this beautiful Rugby family worldwide.
Here in the UK the respect in our two national games, at all levels, are so different. Having played both football (soccer) and rugby for over 20 years the difference between the two is laughable. The soccer players dive and roll around if touched as if there was a sniper in the crowd. Rugby...well you are hit all game long and unless genuinely hurt you don't even go down let alone scream, cry and try and cheat your way to an advantage. Rugby is a self policing game, any idiots soon find themselves pinned, unable to move at the bottom of a ruck and then justice would be meted out, sometimes by your own team if you've been that much of a fool. Rugby is always about respect, soccer, well there isn't much left in my opinion.
Ive always played rugby and got asked to play a couple of matches of Sunday league football because they were a man down. I couldn’t believe how they spoke to the referee; coming from playing rugby and saying ‘sir’ and having that level of respect is just engrained in the sport and hope it never changes.
And that is why I cannot enjoy the game soccer. I respect their skills, but not their attitudes.
UK is not a country... how can it be a "national" sport if the UK is not a nation mate
Thats probably because footballers runs an average of 10 km a game. Rugby averages 6 km a game. They go down easy to take a break
@@HellStr82dumbass
hey man - i think now you are one of us :D thx for this emotional reaction
You catch it man, you now are one of us to. Love it. Rugby fan from Portugal here.
"That face " was Ritchie McCaw, arguable the greatest All Black captain, ever.😊
You’re not talking about 5:50 are you?
Because that’s quite clearly TJ Perenara.
I had the great priveledge to be in the company of Sean Fitzpatrick a few years ago.
I asked him what it was like to captain Jonah Lomu.
He smiled and said:
"He's a pussy cat".
Says it all I guess.
@@goldboy150 no not that time stamp. Ritchie Macaw is in there shaking hands
Rugby: A Hooligans game played by Gentleman. Soccer: A Gentleman's game played by Hooligans
Sorry to correct you, but it goes Rugby is a game watched by gentleman and played by hooligans, whilst football is played by gentleman and watched by hooligans.
@@adriansmith3427 Ah yes the gentleman footballer who flails about on the pitch at the merest breath of wind hits them at a odd angle or being looked at funny and complains about not being paid enough money to play even when all sectors of sport is taking hit right now, these glorified babies are demanding more money to play.
@@JB_Shryke the saying is from around 1900, I'm pretty sure there was less of, if any of that back then.
Football
@@adriansmith3427 you could not be more wrong Rugby its a thugs game played by gentleman and football is a gentlemans game played by thugs that is how the saying goes
I came accross this video just by accident . Rugby has given me everything . It’s moved me to a different continent where I now have a family . Every rugby club globally is the same brotherhood . It’s the first thing I think about each day . The values it’s given me and my friends and family keep us all
Safe and focused
It’s a good video man; from grassroots the idea of respect and sportsmanship is drilled into you at rugby clubs (you might throw down on the pitch, but you drink and laugh afterwards).
Some of the big clips from this are from championship games/retirement games, some of the players have given their entire professional life to this game, and creating the world around it. It’s incredible, and glad you’re learning to love it as much as we do! From England
the PASSION of the game draws you into an entirely Brotherhood/sisterhood family beyond the Game....Well said Bro....New Zealand Brother..
Shout out from New Zealand. Our boys start playing when they are children. It teaches comradery & respect for each other. The background of some of those clips are great viewing. When Sonny Boy Williams gives the boy his medal, it still gives me chills.
I recommend watching Japan vs South Africa at the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
In terms of respect, with rugby the discipline of the players and the respect that they have for the spirit of the game translates to the fans.
Respect is fundamental to a violent game like rugby.
I am so thrilled you are falling in love with this terribly beautiful game.
I remember being 7 years old watching South Africa all the way through the World Cup in 1995, I remember everything about the finals, i remember when we went down by 3 points briefly and my eyes welling up with tears. It would not be till later obviously that I would play the game myself, as brutal and hard as it can be on the body, the sense of comradery and loyalty you feel from you team mates is one ive never felt from any other sport, and the more you put yourself on the line for them the greater it seems to grow and the more they will do it for you. We also always valued the other team, we were all there to win of course but in every difficult battle there is an undeniable respect that fosters and you are expected to show, and even against the teams that you completely destroy you dont rub it in their faces you learn to be humble in those wins because they came out to play the same as you did and for that they deserve respect as well. the hugging and the tunnels made by opposing teams for the other teams to walk through are all things instilled in us from our school days, its as much a part of the sport as passing the ball.
Football should learn very lots about simple respect education from rugby, in football for me it’s completely otherwise, everything almost toxic from matches, players to coaches, when one team lose in any match, that team is really upset and always blame, complain lots of things and very rude, disrespect the opponent
It’s been a fascinating experience to watch your experience of rugby, both the game and the culture. The emotion you experienced showed your understanding of the essence of rugby culture. Welcome.
Thank you for saying that, it really means a lot to me.
@@CoachTubeRespect given where respect is due, I've loved following your journey into the world of rugby and it was great to see you finally realise what the sport is about.
The stories of these athletes are often heart warming, heart breaking, soul destroying and life affirming.
Whether the tragic death of the awesome Jonah Lomu, or the slow decline and death of Dodie Wier or the daily struggle of the young players, these giants paint our world and light our lives in ways that cannot be described.
I feel privileged to have followed your journey, Coach... Respect 🤗🤗🤗
@@CoachTubeI don't know if you've already reacted to it, but as a coach you might appreciate "Fiji's Golden Fairytale: Rugby's greatest story?"
That game with the Springboks and Samoa kneeling in the circle was a fantastic game. Hard as anything, brutal but played in such good spirit. It was from one of the world cups . I cant remember which one. Thats a good game to track down to watch
You see the the New Zealand player Sonny bill williams put his medal around a kids neck. That was his World Cup winners medal which he gave this kid to keep
One of the greatest sporting moments ever ..
@@bloodhoundgang1642 it’s definitely right up there
When I saw the titl, I was hoping that would be on it...deserves longer...you got to be made of stone for that not to move you.
@@bloodhoundgang1642 absloutely agree BLOODHOUND.
This incident should be played at every event to show what sport is all about.
I admired Sonny Bill before, but now I love the bloke.
Ranks alongside Christiano Ronaldo for his empathy with the fans.
That young fan has bragging rights for the rest of his life.
Grass roots teams all have a clubhouse or team pub and after the game the home team hosts the visitors, usually a pie and a pint with some banter surrounded by families, friends ,kids and supporters. So that's where the friendly aspect of the game is seeded
A pie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stephenlennon7369 With baked beans lol
In addition to a comment below: at the 11.45 sec. mark in the video one of Rugby's high profile players - Sonny Bill Williams (NZ All Blacks) gives away his championship medal to the young lad in the video moments after the All Blacks won the 2015 Rugby World Cup in London.
The young lad had jumped onto the field as the players made their walk around the stadium and ran over to hug his idol (Sonny Bill Williams); security guards accosted the lad and tried to have him removed but Sonny Bill intervened and surprised everyone by rewarding the lad with his RWC Championship medal.
That was such a beautiful moment to see and shows why rugby is a family no matter what.
Played for 30 years still hav friends from early days of the game it gives u a strong belief of friendship and respect greatest game on the planet
4:50 - I love that he walked past all the kids reaching forward asking for the boots and gave them to the little boy *not* begging for them.
Estimado Coach. Fuí jugador de rugby desde los 10 años hasta los 32, luego me dediqué a entrenar niños. Aqui en Argentina, mantenemos el espiritu del rugby amateur, aún en este mundo tan profesional. Siempre el respeto por el adversario, el Referí y por las leyes y el espíritu del juego. Incluso, se mantiene la tradición del tercer tiempo. esto es, una vez finalizado el partido, el equipo local invita al visitante a compartir una comida. Esto fomenta el respeto y la amistad entre los jugadores de diferentes equipos. Tambien quiero decirle que su canal es fantastico y fomenta el verdadero espriitu deportivo y la caballerosidad, tan olvidada hoy en día. Saludos desde Argertina.
saludos de francia
The key fundamentals behind our game is what makes it the true 'beautiful game'. Respect, integrity, dedication to your team mates and the shirt you pull on before running out on the field is unique to rugby. 80 minutes of beating the crap out of each other is put aside in the club house over beers and a good old sing song with traditional rugby songs. If the fundamentals behind the game could be transferred to wider life, what a world we would live in
Once upon a time I was a tight-head prop and I was mental :D
Never played dirty, but I went to war. Rugby is the closest thing to war and there is always respect regardless of what happened on the pitch, off it.
I'm Welsh and played rugby since I was 7. Retired now but it gave me a respect of my peers. I have played some hard games, hit people very hard and have been hit very hard. But after the game it's done. You cross the white line and it's over. I'm happy that the world cup is coming to your country, ruggby is a growing sport in the US and it contains all the same plays as Football, but it's faster. I think rugby could be huge in the US and with with such a potential player pool, it's a great opportunity to grow the game.
as a french fan of rugby i must agree
100& on the field you try and inflict as much damage to each other without serious injury then shake hands and have a drink off the field.
@@rrw_au9584 Thats how I was taught. Remember watching Wales play the Boks back in the day in a pub in Cardiff. We had a scrum against a South African Youth team in the middle of the pub, as we were all with our team mates. Our 8 packed down against them. It was great fun.
@@TheMikethoth I've seen some scenes on match day in Cardiff but I'd love to seen a full scrum going down in the pub. Bet that was amazing
Rob Burrows story is so sad. The guy that came so far, achieved so much and beat everything rugby had thrown at him. Now being beaten by the most horrific debilitating disease, MND. We all send him love ❤️
Great video, thank you 🙏
I love rugby man ever since i was little i played i made some lifelong friends in this beautiful game when I was 17 I had a car crash and was rendered disabled I was in an wheelchair for a while and I went back to my club I was overcome with emotion my old coaches and teammates were there and they greeted me with love they had a band there and there was drinks and a BBQ they played one of my favourite songs (Dakota by stereophonics) and I was sat there in that chair and I wont lie I cried, it was one of the saddest and happiest moments of my life and I wouldn't trade anything for it not even being able again, it truly is a game for kings makes for some serious battles of physical ability and faith in your team and yourself, its a beautiful sport played by beautiful people.
These highlights are all Rugby Union and these guys are world class.
The player that you questioned was not GI he plays Rugby League.
The biggest difference between our rugbys and NFL, from an outside perspective is our players are still accessible. We interact with them on a more personal level they will stay with a club in financial hardship because they are family. Many or rather most clubs are not owned by one rich person, however that needs more knowledge than I have. But i know in Australia majority of clubs are supporter run and funded.
At least one was rugby league. English super league to be precise with Rob Burrow from Leeds Rhinos.
@@peterhodge4607 Hope Rob is getting better, last time I saw him he was not too good.
Fiji Sevens from Heaven is a great short video that you should watch.
The fijian rugby 7s team journey to a gold medal in Rio. Amazing story from a team who doesnt have the wealth like other rugby nations.
Keep up the rugby vids, much respect from new zealand.
Man.. much love mate, from a mate here in NZ!
Oh that player with the face, doing the Haka - thats TJ Peranara, the ABs Half Back (No. 9)
Would love to see your reaction to the Haka that was done for Jonah Lomu at his funeral. Tribute Haka!
I have a feeling you are going to get loads of Kiwi followers. You have another New Zealander (living in London) loving your reactions. Keep up the content. I’m loving your genuine love of the wonderful sport of rugby. There’s no game like it.
Watching SBW give that kid his winning Rugby World Cup medal was something truly special, what a magnificent human. There is a reason Rugby is called the Gentleman’s Game.
Football is a game for gentlemen, played by animals, while Rugby is a game for animals, played by gentlemen :)
The kid that Sonny Bill Williams ( NZ no 12) had his arm around, jumped the fence after the world cup win to meet his hero. Got tackled by a security guard. Sonny got the security off him picked him up and escorted back to his parents. He then gave the kid his winners medal. Legend
In Rugby, most of the players are on the edge of performance. It's 80 minutes of crashing, bashing, running, and hard physicals. At the end of 80 minutes, the guy next to you has often earned that respect, handshake and a beer in the bar after the game, be he team mate or oppo. If you are outside, you won't realise the fitness levels required, and a lot of these guys are huge human beings. Its worth noting that in game, its often war. No quarter expected - nor given.
Its a special game.
respect for coach... from chile, from a guy who loves rugby, for this kind of thing, friendship 4 ever
Watching Welsh and especially Fijians singing their national anthems is pretty moving as well
Certainly is, but watching Murray field erupt with "flower of Scotland" takes some beating, especially when playing either England or the All Blacks🤔🏴🤔🏴🏴
@georgefuters7411 For a little bit there I was thinking who is Murray Field?🤣. Your right, I would have mentioned the Scots if I had thought about it a minute longer. Since I was a wee boy I have always loved hearing Scottish and Welsh rugby crowds in particular. The passion and full throated power is every bit as impressive as the haka in my humble opinion.
And I'm a proud Maori bro ( who also has some Scottish heritage).
The Fijians having tears in their eyes is what gets me invested in them doing well.
@@THP999 typical! Spell checker screwing things up...Murrayfield... Scotland's national rugby stadium 🤔🙄🥴😂🤣😂🏴🇪🇺🏴
Absolutely stoked that you've just watched the beautiful side of Rugby.. small story.. I'm England supporter and for some unknown reason I ended up sitting in the middle of the Argentina supporters..it was one of the BEST experiences of my life..We couldn't understand a word of each others language but I ended up having loads of selfies taken with them and them 'asking' me to take pics of them too and sharing sweets!
If you understand the history of UK and Argentina then you'll realise just how unbelievably beautiful my experience was..
Rugby fans are a different breed and im proud to be one..I will never forget that experience as long as I live. ☮️💓🇬🇧
I'm french and I started when I was 5 and that the first rules : respect that's all and after in the game that could be a war but after the time you have to give some respect to your direct opponent and all the teams, your opponent push you to do more, the best! That's why respect is so important!
This is the spirit of rugby, so happy you get it. One day you must come to the UK and see a match, any match - school, club, international it’s always the same. Great reaction.
There are times in life when things go wrong. I found myself living at the other end of the country once from all my friends, family, etc. My first thought? Find a rugby club. Everything was easier from then on.
The Maori players of New Zealand do a tribal greeting and display before every match that is legendary, and truly a sight !
If there is one game you need to watch that will bring almost every emotion out of you and has the most amazing ending - it's the 2015 RWC opening pool round between South Africa and Japan.
There needs to be a movie made about the lead up and that game, it's one of the most amazing stories of a team's growth I've ever heard of in sport.
That was a brilliant match never forget it 🏴👍👍👍👍👍
Then everyone wrote South Africa off but we came back and won it.
@@cassyvorster466 NZ won that year mate, but SA did well to pick up the 2019 RWC for sure.
Sir, you summed up the game of rugby, the players, the referees and the fans in one word. RESPECT.
Fantastic post Coach. We love the game in a England and although we get a hard time there is still the respect. Keep them coming 🏴🏴🏴
I played Rugby Union for years still miss it. No matter how brutal the game was, no matter how hard fought it was, you always applauded the opposing team off the pitch at the end of the game and went for a drink or a meal with them afterwards. Respect.
This is why Rugby is the best game..You have all the off field support too.The people who run the clubs all around the world ,that is grass roots of the game.. this is were these players started
will...n.z
Rugby is huge on respect and community, and welcomes all players regardless of ability
It’s why I sorted playing again at 44 (46 now)(only vets and social)
Both my boys play 13 and 10 years old
We play for our local club Melksham RFC
All players even the youth from 3years up are treated as members of one big family. The social side is also massive with family events
Even the top teams in the UK involve local communities
Here my eldests team got to train with professional side Bath at their facility
He’s the one at the end beating Welsh international Toby Faleteau

I was about 15 when South Africa won the 1995 Rugby world cup final. I watched it at my mums, a day Ill never forget. I have never known a single sporting event to actually unify a country in such dire need of that unity. Im 42 now and it still puts a shiver down my spine. I really hope that other sports can pick up the impact Rugby has had on our rainbow nation.
I absolutely loved your respect and emotions during your thoughts at the end so great mate
Just wanna say may GOD bless you couch...my brother died in rugby at the age of 22 we love you...to all the couches out there...
These men put their entire body on the line, only true warriors show respect to an opponent.
In this sport, we are not afraid to cry or die. We play hard and fight hard. But above all is respect. Respect for your team, for the opposition and importantly the authorities. It`s 80 min. of war and afterwards it's the rest of the day drinking with everyone regardless of team. Love this sport.
I've enjoyed more than a few of your videos on one of the sports I love & used to play. Respect is an integral part of the game. You have a new subscriber.
One of the journey’s I've enjoyed and think you may too is the rise of the Cherry Blossoms (Japan), into a solid team.
The first Asian team to make the quarter finals at a world cup, They had a rugby miracle against South Africa at RWC 2015, which earned them a lot of respect. Fast forward to RWC 2019 hosted in Japan and the improvements were clear to see, a fantastic work rate and great ball handling skills exciting the home crowd and spanking a few of the established teams in the process.
The respect between the team and the fans is clear to see. I even loved the fact that there was a crowd of 15,000 Japanese fans to watch Wales train and they sung the Welsh national anthem. Just Amazing.
My coach of our small town Rugby Union team said, I played for this town in 3 sports, Soccer, Rugby League, and Rugby Union, the difference is in Soccer you didn't speak to your own team mates, in Rugby League, you talked to your team mates only, in Rugby Union you were more likely to speak to the opposite team as well as your own as you enjoyed their company and they were decent people who loved a beer, its a drinking team with a Rugby problem. People say the rules of Rugby are hard to follow, there is only one rule, trample the injured, hurdle the dead. The rest are Laws of the game. The game they play in Heaven. Greg Inglis played Rugby League formally for Russell Crowes South Sidney Rabbitoes, A rabbitoh is someone that sells rabbits on street corners during the Great Depression, they wore green shirts and they were stained with the blood of the rabbits, it is a different game than Union. Soccer turned into Union, Australian Rules and American Football at Rugby School in England in 1823, League was an offshoot of Union at the start of the 1900's, they get 6 tackles per set, or 'down' in American, Union get unlimited tackles but it is contested each tackle, if you get the ball it is yours till you drop it or give it away, but the game doesn't stop unless the the dead get in the way.
My son has a difficult few years but he's found rugby and it's done him so much good. Unfortunately he's broken his wrist so can't train right now.
Rugby to me is a social coming together, regardless of who you are or your background or the level you played at the game brings out respect.
I took a train from Glasgow to Edinburgh that was full of England fans, as the only Scott in the carriage I was subject to a barrage of banter and at the same time understood that I was perfectly safe to give back any banter I wanted. By the time we reached Edinburgh we had all had a good laugh and a few beers together
The core values of Rugby Union - Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship - are essential to an understanding of the game and how it can, literally, transform lives. These values are actively encouraged at all levels of the game, from the amateur to the elite professional. And it is this which makes it such a marvellous sport that can be enjoyed by players and spectators alike. I last played many years ago now, but the abiding memories are of being part of a common enterprise and of putting myself to the test, both physically and mentally, playing to the best of my ability, dealing with winning magnanimously and learning how to lose with grace. The game is becoming increasingly inclusive, too - the growth of the women's game and the profusion of rugby clubs which welcome players of all ages, orientations and physical abilities is proof of its power to bring people together for the simple joy of playing and being part of the rugby 'family'. To say I love this sport is an understatement!
Your videos and reactions are brilliant. Respect!
And I really appreciate the respect for the officials too - its at the heart of the game. Can you imagine if you have some of the 120kg/300lbs players yelling at the ref the way some of the soccer players do... its shocking!
I love my sport, I played from the age of 13 to 30 and respect is one of the first things we learn, at any level of the game at any age. I miss playing
Brillant video! Appreciate very much Ur kindness, Ur feelings and what U're saying! Hope U're fine, regards from Munich 🏉
Hey coach! Keep it up, watch all the international rugby and premiership rugby you can 👍👍
These are the gladiators of modern times. Fierce, determined, brothers to stand together but humble and respectful, and compassionate in victory or defeat
Comming from South Africa Rugby 🏉 means so much it's not just a game it's a part of out history ...
In rugby everyone has the height of respect for the players and the supports... no hacking no mouthing off and most certainly never when a kick is been taken..
Kia Ora, how are u coach, i played the game 4 30+ years, i love Rugby Union, i have made so many friends, & have so many memories, a hell of alot of them, bloody good, my friend captains USA, Tony Lambourn, what i'm trying 2 get 2, is yes it's rough, but it is so so rewarding, i love the reaction 2 Rugby videos u are, that is why we play this great game...
Your comments at the end of this video were so valid and true about the game of rugby -- try to watch Catching The Sun 1 + 2 to see what happens behind the scenes. Thank you for this.
Humanity, sportsmanship, love for the game , something that is lost today in the world, something We can teach our kids and next generations that come. Thank you for your honest and beautiful reaction to this video.
Saved me as a young one.....taught me respect
My grand niece (11yrs) is playing Ripper Rugby and after every game each team goes over to the opposition supporters, takes a knee and chant "three cheers for..." and then give a prize to who they think was player of the day. Sometimes the home team will host and provide an after match meal, which gives a chance for the players to get to know each other. The All Black you were referring to poking his tongue our during the Haka is TJ Perenara
The backstory to Mapimpi doing what he did at 6:59 is so heartbreaking. Nene (Uyinene Mrwetyana) was a 19 year old university student who was raped and killed at her local post office. This triggered massive protests about gender based violence in South Africa. This happened just before the start of the world cup. Mapimpi had a mother and sister who were both affected by gender based violence, and who both had passed away. When he did that it showed exactly what type of person he was, a true legend and hero. He also that year launched a campaign and foundation against gender based violence focused on getting men involved in the cause.
By far the best sportmanship belong to this game. Proudly 🇿🇦
a little bit late to the party, but I just want to say, this is the first time I have come across your channel, I appreciate your emotion and showing the coaches side of things, we as players often neglect to realize what the coaches go through for the team and I as a rugby player will make it my mission to go and thank every one of my coaches for the hard work and effort they do for the team. thank you, sir.
respect from south Africa.
The game you asked about was a game between brive and oyonnax (in the second division of french championship)
Bayonne brive
nothing better than knocking lumps out of eachl other for 80 minutes then going to the bar afterwards and having a laugh, a joke and a sing song all with a split lip or lost tooth or broken nose. Thats rugby in a nut shell
03:05 some background that is Rob Burrow the magnificent 7, he was a star in rugby league. Imagine he was only 5 ft 5 in and 145 lb playing in a sport where the average player have 6ft 2 in and 220 lb with speed and therefore lots of power, but he still manage to be one of the greatest of all time. people where afraid he get badly hurt but never happen, he played 16 years at top level winning and been most of the games the best player in the match and becoming a long last legend of the sport. After retirement he discover he have motor neuron disease and his team honor him putting him in the opening match of the season.
2 good reasons I can think of there's this level of respect in the game. 1, it's part of the long traditions of the game (losers clapping winners, then winners clapping losers for eg), and is actually encoded in the laws, such as players must be given time to tie their laces, arguing against a penalty results in losing ten metres etc.
2, all the players and refs know that it is only a high level of respect for all concerned that keeps the players safe.
Us rugby fans bang on about the level of respect in the game, but it is played in a more sportsmanlike manner than any other sport I can think of.
Rugby is simply summed up, it’s for "the love of the game".
Ibrahim Diarra was a French player who passed away in 2019 at the age of 36.
Oh man that is so sad 😔
Amazing player. ❤❤ RIP
4:11 that man right there is alun wyn Jones in my opinion one of (if not the) most respectful and hard working captains on any sport team I've ever seen.
Hey man, great video! I've been struggeling with depression and other shit... Rugby really helps me trough it, my team is just amazing to me and all help me. Keep it up 💪🏻❤️
Cheer up Tom.
Chat with your rugby family, they are all on your side.
Have a few beers.
It's NEVER as bad as you think.
Cheers mate.
That is probably the most respect i have ever seen from someone across the pond bless you mate
At least the guy realised he spear tackled thr opponent which is a total no no in rugby, and to see them together at the end one knowing it was wrong and the other realizing it was a deliberate action
I think it stems from the fact the players all know how hard you have to train and how tough the game is and thats why they respect anyone who pulls on a rugby shirt both before the game and once the battle is over.
They all know what it takes to reach the highest level , you put your heart into being the best you can be , I was at a players reunion recently and the only word to describe it is love , love for people you may not even like as people but you respect deeply and have a bond .
Cheers, mate, cracking video, sums up Rugby to a T.
