This is sooooo useful to me because I'm actually just joined a rugby league team and I wasn't so good at understanding the rules of the game, because I'm only 12 but because of this video, I will be able to play brilliantly the next time I play
Thanks for the comments Ward, I hope this video helped, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
So how did you go?
bro I play rugby league too!
I play rugby union but league does look pretty fun
Yh it’s that simple!
I'm a rugby union player and come to learn league. Thanks for the rules Ninh Ly! I can also see a lot of segregation between League and Union. To be honest, both are rugby and are both great sports. League is pretty popular in Australia (State of Origin, Australia considered the best at international...).
Thanks man - I urge you to check out my video czcams.com/video/sRUHxGwv_VY/video.html to find out why they are so different.
actually rugby league was created in Huddersfield
@@evanhughes2761 I don't think i indicated anywhere that I thought League was made in Australia, just it was pretty popular
@@naohaotingala6433 you said '(state of oragin)'
@@evanhughes2761 I was referring to the popular rugby league competition between NSW and QLD in Australia, aka "State of Origin"
Just a devastated Brisbane fan passing through. After all the hard work this season... Thanks a lot JT.
+Connor Munday I feel your pain ... I just watched Wigan last night drop their Grand Final to Leeds. Incidentally, I watched your Brisbane boys when they came to Wigan. Great game. Better luck next season for the both of us!
To both brisbane and wigan the grand final was there for you both , brisbane were far too conservative in the last 20 mins and should have went for the killer try , as for wigan taking the 2 points turned out to be a big mistake should have risked it and when for the try , however I think both of your teams are up an coming and should see them back next year
I can't believe it's been 10 years since we last won. Brisbane is a big club and deserves better imo. Hopefully, with the games overseas, the club can become fairly well known though :)
Matthew Boyle At the time, the two points made sense. In retrospect, it doesn't.
But the biggest game killer for us was Matty Smith dropping the ball immediately after we scored the opener to give them the levelling try.
I'm still convinced that their second try wasn't a try.
But you have to hand it to them. They were the better team on the day overall, with better ball movement, less errors, creating more chances etc.
+Connor Munday On your way now mate.. HAHAHA (sorry, felt fitting) .. but to the MAROONS !!
Thank you for sharing, My intro to rugby was a union game. My university (in California) has a team. But I’m new to rugby league and the more I watch the more I enjoy it. I’m currently watching the NRL match highlights. Eventually I’ll find my favorite team.
Melbourne Storm 😉
Mate you should download channel 9 on your phone then you can watch whole games

Thanks , I'm a Liverpool fan off to Anfield today to watch Eng V N.Z. with my RL mad father in law , this has helped me look less of an idiot now hopefully !
Ah cool! I was going to go to that one, but I'm otherwise engaged now.
Enjoy the game, should be a tight one!

Hi Matty (again). Cheers for the comment on this video. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who don't even know there are two different kinds!

I'm going to join the schools rugby team once I know the positions 'cause I now know the rules
Taeler Smith Hey man, good luck in your schools Rugby League team - I hope you do well. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
It's up to you mate but if I were you, I'd remake this video. it's not bad as a frist but could use an update.
Very informative. I knew there was Rugby League and a Rugby Union but what the differences between the two were I knew little about. Both look very interesting to watch.
Thank you! Yes, they're both interesting to watch and if you understand both sports, you'll appreciate them a bit more. Thanks for stopping by.
I now know more about Rugby League, thanks to this video - I've learned quite a lot! Thanks, Ninh!
Thanks for stopping by George, I appreciate the comments!

Great explanation! Very handy when I want to explain the game to some mates who don't know the rules!
Nice team you go for
Thanks for the comments man, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
I have used rugby league here in America to turn gridiron fans into Rugby watchers! One fella said he didn't like the game until I showed him League and explained its closeness to gridiron, and he fell in love with the sport. After that, introducing union to him was a piece of cake, (and showing him his first union match as being the '73 Barbarians vs All Blacks game helped a lot!) Therefore, you want to get Americans into Rugby, teach them about League, and maybe we can get something going over here!
Hey Ninh, as a fan of selected sports I am well impressed that there is an encyclopaedia on youtube with this type of thing. If only other channels were as professional as yours.
+Jason Gorman Thanks Jason, I appreciate the comments. Whilst I've not covered every sport out there (yet) I'm slowly making my way towards encyclopaedianess ... if that's actually a word. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
This video has helped a lot as I am starting rugby soon in school in PE and I didn't know anything about league but now I can understand. Thanks for the video

Please could CZcams add a feature to turn the music off. I would have preferrred listening to what was said without also having to listen to music. In saying this I'm not passing any opinion on the music itself.
Memo - Need to show video to NRL Refs.
The NRL are a strange one, they interpret the rules differently - it's a lot more straightforward in England.
+ninh ly when my dad used to play professional (bradford ,leeds and Wigan) he had to compete in the scrum but they changed it because it wasted alot of time in the game and they were very very messy anyway I don't think there is nothing wrong with this video and I do appreciate you spreading the word of the great game rugby league keep up the good work buddy
Thanks Jack, I appreciate the comments! I think they should remove scrums altogether, as they serve no real purpose anymore. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
@@NinhLyUK This is NOT strictly true. By forming scrums, the main body of men gets congested into a certain area of the pitch; this adds a little extra variation into the game!
Conversion attempts do not have to be taken 20 metre out from the try line. They are normally taken around the 20 metre line but a goal kicker can choose to take the ball back as far as he wants to.
Hi Matthew.
Yes, I realise that a conversion can be taken from further back if needed - but to keep the video simple for beginners to understand, I made this approximation. Saves me answering questions about why someone would take a kick further back!
Thanks for the comment. Be sure to subscribe and share this video :)
Thank u for this video , I am playing league for the first time and I am 13 and my friend told me to try it because I play union and now I know how to play league a bit from watching this amazing video 😊👍🏾
Where u from???
I'm using your videos for my virtual PE classes!!!! Thank you!!!
Wonderful! Glad you find these useful!
Needed this. Watching State of Origin tonight with a few mates. GO MAROONS!
No worries bro, glad this video helps.
That's Super Legue in the video, club Rugby League over in England. But the rules are pretty much the same in other countries like Aus and France.
Some additional rules. The ball can float forward but it has to go backwards out of the hands. You can also strip the ball if you're in a one on one tackle. If you kick the ball past the opponent's in goal the other team starts from their 20 metre line and gets an extra tackle. You can lift players in tackles but their body has to be horizontal or less than that. Any closer and you risk them landing on their neck and you get penalised. Instead of draft picks there's a salary cap on all clubs. If an offside player tackles the opponent before their team is back onside it's a professional foul and they get a 10 minute sin bin. (In Australian club League, which is the NRL) Kicking out on the full means they the other team gets the ball right from you kicked it.
Thanks for the other rules. But I didn't include those mainly because this is a beginners video to explain to a complete newbie what Rugby League is. Gotta keep these things simple!
Yeah, I know. Just trying to help out.
I prefer league but union and league are actually 2 completely different sports so try them out before you decide do just go off what people say they are both fun to play
Yes, as explained here ... czcams.com/video/sRUHxGwv_VY/video.html
I played rugby in high school back in Zimbabwe. I now see we were playing by rugby union rules. Rugby league is interesting too. I wish they taught us both forms of the game. Thanks for the video
+walter ndoro It's very rare for schools to teach both, and given that you live in Zimbabwe, I'm not surprised that you learned Rugby Union. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+walter ndoro they did teach you league...they just called it touch rugby at the time...essetially the same thing...
+Ninh Ly In New Zealand it can happen. mostly because we have the top rugby team and we created league (poor mans rugby).
+Alfred M Actually touch rugby is not the same, it's a sort of rugby with rugby union rules as regards scoring and stuff, but you are not allowed to tackle as in rugby league or union. That's why there's no rucks or mauls in touch rugby as there are in union (at least the touch rugby I used to play in school. Since we were kids they limited the contact in the sport).
+welertgus In australia all schools in NSW and Queensland teach Rugby League as the main sport, other states were aussie rules is popular teach Union at private schools and League in public schools like Melbourne.
nice one ninh this really helped
plus not every part of the body deflecting it will be a knock on other than the the leg if you deflect it forward with any part of your body except your legs than it's a knock on
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the kind words.
But I mentioned in the video that a knock-on is 'deflecting the ball forwards with the arms or body' - which is correct.
So I'm not sure what you're getting at?
like i'm saying any part of your body EXCEPT for your legs is a knock on
So, pretty much what I said in the video just worded differently.
pretty much

Dude I love your videos so much. I’m trying to learn more sports than just the few basic American ones we have. When I find a new sport I want to learn and follow you are the first one I go to. I’ve actually watched your videos again when I get confused during games. Thanks so much and keep doing great work.
Good quick summary of the game. As a ex-Union player I'm embarrassed to admit that I did not know the six tackle rule.
Bro why would you leave Union for this. I thought you were better than this bro
Don't worry, an nrl ref didn't know it either. Not to mention the 2019 NRL grand final or anything
This should help a lot of people learn the game good job👍
Thanks.
i have officially watched every ninh explains video
Great!
THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL!
Coming up to the seven year anniversary of this video by watching it again!
Its funny how you see a soccer video or basketball and its all kids arguing about which sports are bad and which are good.. It seems rugby fans are much more mature and can actually converse about what sports they like around the world! Good to see!
You're seeing different thing than I do
I was watching Tekken vids before this and thought I had one still going in the back ground 😂
Ha, that's cool.
The video that made me subscribe years ago. How time flies.
Time flies indeed!
Ninh, you're the best. Hope you're doing well and still rockin' Texas A&M!
As someone who grew up playing American Football , I do appreciate this much grittier style of Rugby. But it can get annoying with refs sometimes - can get way too technical…
I was watching the AFL - and I much prefer that style of Rugby. on a huge (cricket) pitch , which is more similar to traditional football (soccer).
I like aspects of both . Personally, I would take the best of the two styles -it would be a perfect blend..
in what situations would a six tackle set turn into a seven or four tackle set?
Usually when the other team commits a penalty, and the team with the ball gets another set of six.
You can take less than 6 tackles if you want to, but your positional play has to be good in order to limit the damage from the other team. Hope that helps?
In Australian NRL rules you get a seven tackle set when the other team kicks it out past the field of play or if a player catches a kick from another team in his try zone, the seven tackle set will start at the 20 metre line, I think when they introduced this it added a big element of tactics not seen before and now kicking has been much more important.
@@NinhLyUK 6 again can be waved as well if the other team touches the ball for some reason and you get the ball back
Do they really retreat ten meters after a tackle? I was watching some league, and sometimes it looked like after the tackle, the player who was tackled just put the ball on the ground and a teammate picked it up and ran with it, without retreating.
Those two players do not retreat.
As mentioned in the video, once the ball carrrier is tackled, he must stop and play the ball back to a teammate.
These are the only two people who don't retreat 10 metres.
The rest of the team MUST retreat 10 metres, which the referee will be standing.
They must all be parallel to the referee when the ball is played back.
I GOT IN TO MY LOCAL TEAM BECUASE OF THIS THANK U SO MUCH
New to this lovely sport because of the pandemic. Been betting it quite often now. Can someone explain the “ Set Restart”? Drives me crazy when the opposition gets 6 more attempts.
If the other team commits an infraction, but stopping the play would negate the advantage that they have (i.e. ball in possession), they can award another 6 tackles to the other team.
Ninh Ly Thank you. Had to google the infractions of a NRL game. Found out the one driving me crazy was “a player must be released immediately after a tackle”. But this seems so random as I see a player being held down almost every play. Very confusing but still a great game nonetheless.
@@fins6191 Thank you for the response. As a newbie Im learning more and more each game. Your explanation is perfect. The reasoning makes sense and I love the pace of play. Even more so than the NFL which is my favorite sport out here in the States. Now I must pick a team lol. Thanks for welcoming a new hardcore fan.
@@fins6191 I know the feeling as a New York Giants fan. I've watched every NRL game and I will say the Roosters have been the most exciting team to watch. Love the Eels they have won me the most money thus far. I just watched Newcastle have a tough outing today, but I do see their potential. Thanks for all the recommendations. A true joy to watch
@@fins6191 I completely agree. NRL is not covered here at all. I will do my part to spread the word
im watching this before im tring to get in to my local team
I just joined my colleges rugby team and we have the first practice tomorrow so this was useful
Oh hello there! Thanks mate I’m 12 and all my mates were playing football and I had no clue how to play so once again thanks
I didn't realize just how similar this is to American football, especially the old version before forward passes were allowed.
Why still bother with scrums if they're now uncontested? Can't they do something else?
Great video-just note there’s no pushing in a rugby league scrum. They’re uncontested.
This looks closer to American football than Union I feel like I actually understand it

...and according to the music, it implies that in order to be of any worth to your team, you need to move like you got the i-frames of Jin Kazama's Electric Wind God Fist...which probably explains why players are seemingly intangible when they're in The Zone.
Does rugby have a designated conversion kicker or is the kick made by the player who scored the try?
In theory, anyone can take the kick - but they usually have a player who they designate as their best kicker to try and secure the points. Thanks for the comments, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Hi Ninh, I've just discovered and enjoy your various videos. But just one correction on the distance that a conversion kick (in both codes of rugby) is taken, is not 20 m out from the goal line but as far back as the kicker deems necessary for him to be able to effect a conversion. You might also have added that the kick is taken from a spot which is in a line drawn perpendicular to the goal line and at the distance in from the touch line where the ball was grounded.
Another correction, in rugby league you don’t push in the scrums, they are uncontested
Technically you CAN push in the scrums in the Rugby League but nowadays no one does that, because in Rugby League the ball is fed into a tunnel and rolled straight to the back of the scrum so that the team awarded a scrum can get the ball possession easily.
Most teams have a designated kicker but anyone can have a go
So far I would say I like and understand Rugby Union Better. Well not understand but definitely like. It's far more interesting JMO!
Each to their own I guess. Be sure to check out my other video on the differences between League and Union, and also about Rugby Sevens. Cheers.
Love the fact you have Wigan player as the picture to the video
Warrington*
@@njm1259Leigh know
I hate all the union players talking trash about league. People do it at school and my dad said to me to tell them don't knock it till you try it. Do you agree?
I absolutely 100% agree!
League gets a bad rap from Union fanboys.
And most of the time it's because they just don't understand or have never spent more than 2 minutes trying to understand Rugby League.
I think it's a great sport, for sure.
Thanks for stopping by.
Rugby league is like checkers and rugby union is chess. You just have to pick the one that suits you intellectually
Yes
Rugby Union is soo bad
I’m a union player but I like to watch league as well, rugby league is still rugby and that’s good enough for me.
I enjoyed the video. :)
Thanks Marline, much appreciated!
Subscribe and check out my channel for more content like this! :)
To be honest, I love both types of Rugby, but I think I like League a bit more. It's faster, stronger, tougher, easier to play (funner), and a not bunch of perks to it. So to all the Unioners who wish to be snobby, weak up, because League gives Union a run for it's money.
I also wish Aussie was more popular. It's sad how the most boring sports are considered the "world sports", rather than the funnest ones which are less popular. The world sports should be American Football, Aussie Rules, Gaelic Football, Hurling, and Baseball. I also wish League was the more favorited one. It's rather stupid how soccer, cricket, tennis, gold, and land hockey are the most popular.
This is coming from an Irishman, lads.
I like Union too, though. No offense from earlier.

wake up*
favourited*
Robert Henderson Hey man, thanks for the comments.
It's interesting to watch people argue for and against League, especially on my other video.
It's like Leaguers are the spawns of Satan or something?!
And I think Aussie Rules has done a great job in trying to expand the game across the world. It'll still never be as popular as Football, but at least they're doing something about it.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for favouriting! :)
Ninh Ly Haha, no bother at all.
Eh.
Np.
You mentioned Six a lot and since Toronto is the 6ix, is this the kind of Rugby the Toronto Wolfpack play?
Yes, the Toronto Wolfpack is a Rugby League team ... and they tore it up this season. They obliterated everyone!
But the fact that Six is a key number in Rugby League and Toronto is the 6ix is purely coincidental.
Ninh Ly Illuminati confirmed?
Common misconception. The number of the beast is actually 616, not 666.
Ninh Ly Oh wow! Didnt know that!
I've just started watching Australian rugby league and I'm confused by one thing. It seems like every time a player is tackled and down on the ground they often keep wrestling around for a few seconds afterwards. I don't understand why. It always looks like nobody is really moving but they are still pushing down on the ball carrier. Can someone explain that to me?
Yes, you have to make sure that the referee knows that you have tackled the ball carrier. Merely bringing him to the ground does not count as a tackle, you also have to impede forward motion. Once the referee has indicated so, you can stop the tackle and release your opponent.
@@NinhLyUK Thank you, that makes sense. So I may not be able to hear it during the game, but the players will continue to press until they hear the referee call it down. Is that correct?
It's in the attackers best interest to get up and play the ball as quickly as possible to catch the defence out of position. For the defence it's in their best interest to slow the attacker down and keep him on the floor as long as possible so their defensive line gets set.
The ref will say move to the defender when he's got to get up and allow the attacker up, if he takes too long it will be a penalty to the attacker.
"If you can count to six then you understand rugby league". Ha, clever way to give me confidence
I just started playing rugby here in the states. I would say union to me is amazing if you have a football background. Hit, hit and hit some more.
Quite the opposite ... League is good for hits. Union you have to be good at the ground game.
I guess not having a physical ruck is different for me.. most American football players I know love the physicality as well. But this video is great thanks. I'm new to rugby so I didn't know there were different types. LOVE THE GAME
Hi Ninh,
Love your videos. Just wondering if you have plans to do a video on Touch Rugby? Cheers.
Thanks man. If I get enough demand for it, sure.
How come some trys are awarded 6 points?? Is this with the conversion but we don't see it?
Yes, sometimes you don't see the conversion, but a try is always 4 points. The conversion is 2 points but sometimes they don't televise it because they're doing an instant replay or something.
@Warren552011 That's not a penalty try. A penalty try is worth 4 points, followed by a conversion kick from in front of the posts. This only happens when a try _isn't_ scored, but it would have been scored if not for foul play.
When a try _is_ scored, _and_ there is foul play, the try is worth 4, the conversion is in line with the spot of the try, and then there is a penalty from in front of the posts. This is referred to as an 8 point try if both kicks are successful, or a possible 8 point try.
czcams.com/video/uERq3GZUpSw/video.html
thanks that helped with the 40-20 rule
Thanks.
Good job. Thanks. I am now a fan.
I used to be a person that disliked how Rugby League works due to their uncontested tackles and how the scrum works... To this day I still find fact that they stand in formation and roll the ball through them kinda silly. But what got me to have more respect for the game is how much more simple the game is and how much more faster the gameplay is.
Sorry to keep commenting in your stuff mate... But just a note that the 40/20 rule description here implies that you hand the ball over from where you kicked it if you 'get it wrong' - you can get it wrong and kick it straight to the fb or winger, and it's okay on. I guess what I'm trying to say is my specify if it goes out on the full?
Or is that too detailed for a beginner vid?
slyclaypool Like I said to another user: there's a lot of rules I didn't explain.
I say this to a lot of other people, but this is a short beginners guide to get them up to speed on the game, and is not meant to be an encyclopaedia for experts.
I try and keep all my videos short and easy for a complete beginner to understand.
Thanks.
So, you get to be tackled 6 times, and if you didn't score you lose posession ? Isn't it like American Football that you get a new set of tackles (or downs) after you've gained a determianted amount of meters ?
No. 6 tackles to score ... and that's it. After the 6th tackle, ball is awarded to the other team, so most teams kick the ball away to make it more difficult for the other team to score.
@@NinhLyUK most times, guys like lockyer would go for the field goal or a 40:20 on the last
What is with the scrums? Whats the point? They always just throw the ball to their own side rather than down the middle for an actual scrum.
That is one of the downsides to the scrum yes.
Unlike in Rugby Union where the rulebook specifically states that the ball must be rolled down the middle between the two packs of players, in League there is no such requirement.
This results in League scrums being almost useless, and the opposing teams know this, so they don't even try and contest for the ball.
Rugby Union seems more fluid. I prefer that.
Indeed, league was interesting but union have more free flowing gamplay instead
Ninh Ly I love your videos especially The Difference between Rugby Union & Rugby League and The Rules of Australian Rules Football videos, especially the latter, the comment section with the various debates on whether or not Gaelic Football influenced Aussie Rules Football were great. I'm Irish and to be honest I prefer Rugby Union. That's just my own personal opinion on the matter and I'm not knocking Rugby League. I've seen a few matches on Sky Sports anyways I have a quick question for you. Are there any differences between the ball used in Rugby League and the ball used in Rugby Union? sizes, dimensions etc.
Wolfe Tone1798 Hi. Thanks very much for the comment on my video.
To answer your question: there is a difference to the balls used by each sport ... but not by much.
A Rugby Union ball can be 28cm - 30cm long with a 58cm - 62cm circumference, and the most popular ones are made by Gilbert - who have the iconic 4 point design.
A Rugby League ball is exactly 27 cm long and 60cm in circumference, and the most popular brands are made by Steeden and Rhino, both have varying designs that make the ball LOOK different, but are largely the same.
To be honest, if you blindfolded a rugby player and asked which one was a League ball and which was a Union ball, I doubt they would guess which is which.
Hope that helps? Thanks for the comments, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Fun Fact: The normal, improvised running of the ball in rugby with the added stipulation that you can only pass it backward or sideways has a smaller equivalent in American Football, but with a difference. It's called the Lateral play, and just like Rugby it is not executed by design. It is a split-second decision by the ball carrier at any given moment while a play is being run to abandon the playcall and go for broke with the Lateral to another player behind or alongside him. Unlike Rugby, it is usually only done at the end of the 1st half or end of the game as a last ditch effort to score a game-winner, therefore it is usually one long play. Because of the way a Lateral is used in games, being tackled during it rather than scoring is considered a failure. It is a low-percentage move, has a low-probability of success. In the film "The Longest Yard" with Adam Sandler, the Lateral is referred to as "Schoolyard Bullshit" because of its freestyle nature appealing to kids just playing American football without any rules growing up. I guess Americans technically could pick up Rugby rules rather seamlessly.

Whilst that's correct - I'm not sure what that has to do with teaching Rugby League to people who haven't heard of it?
@@NinhLyUK Not as much as i'd like, apparently. I just thought of mentioning it as a fun fact...
Does Super league have the 7 tackle rule where a Team kicks the ball dead in goal?
Not that I'm aware of?
That's a good rule.
1979RayDay Yes we do it's known as the Zero Tackle Rule here. The only differences between Super League and NRL rules of the top of my head are the automatic sin bins for punching in NRL and the Free Play advantage rule in Super League which basically means if someone knocks on and the opposing team recovers without being tackled they can go for a miracle play knowing that if it doesn't come off they'll get the head and feed in the scrum at the spot of the knock on.
1:52 got to see
Six, six, six...nice homage to Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail...
Well spotted! You're the only person that realised where I got that from. Nice one!
Thank you so much my first game is in 2 days and I am so nervous
Scrum makes no sense in rugby league! They should replace this with something else!
I think every Rugby League fan agrees. Either make it relevant or remove it in favour of a tap restart.
I disagree. The modern rugby league scrum retains ties to the tradition of playing the game. They were revised to make them cleaner to restart play. Also redeveloped due to the amount of injuries to players because of collapsed scums and also how sloppy and uncontrollable they were during the scrum feed. They are an alternative to a tap restart and can provide backlines with an opportunity to execute set plays. Also offers variation to just a tap restart which could become boring, repetitive and tiresome.
For a knock-on or forward pass it's fair enough. Scrum makes no sense when the ball goes into touch.
Yeah like a tap for a knock on instead of a scrum
Scrum should be removed in union too
Because everything they scrum 5min waste
Thanks you! Will you be making more vidoes in the future?
I'm trying to ... been horribly busy with my day job!
I notice that players pass the ball underhanded. Why could they pass( throw the ball overhanded as long as it is backwards or sideways? An overhanded bullet pass would really move the ball across the field faster and conceivable open up the play..
Believe it or not, it actually wouldn't be faster. A rugby ball is not an American Football. When you raise the ball above your head, it's slower to offload, you risk losing the ball by dropping it or losing it in a tackle and you risk knocking the ball on. It's more efficient (and quicker and safer) to pass the ball underarm in the Rugby spiral. That's why they do it.
That's not to say they don't do it ... they definitely pass the ball overarm from time to time, but it's better underhanded.
Ball is too big for that, two hands gets the ball moving faster if ti was the same size as the NFL ball I would agree though.
A Mix between Rugby League and American Football would be nice.
Which is the more popular format, Rugby league or Rugby union?
Union is more popular worldwide.
Is that 40-20 rule in Australian rugby league
Yes, the NRL also has the 40-20 kick.
Does the defending team always have to release the tackled player with the ball. Can't they try to win the ball by a turnover in the ruck?
Yes, they must let go of the player.
There is no ruck in Rugby League as a result of this, as the ball is not contested for at this point.
Rucks are a feature of Union, not League.
I'm originally from South Africa, so union is the code I know, but I recently got interested in league since the RLWC. But let's say the ball carrier loses the ball because of the impact of the tackle, can the other team then try getting the ball? League looks a bit strange for me at the moment, but I really enjoyed watching it. I live in Belgium, where rugby is totally not popular at all, and definitely not rugby league. Would be nice to give league a shot. PS: I'll subscribe, I enjoy watching your videos

Yes, if they drop the ball and it goes backwards (for example) - the opposing team can just pick it up and run with it, as technically nobody has possession of the ball.
If it deflects forwards, it's a knock-on just like in Rugby Union.
If you like Rugby League, check out the NRL in Australia - those guys have it down to a fine art.
Thanks for the comments and subscription :)
Are the rules of rugby league the same in world 9s? I see they are similar but the try zones look different? Would really appreciate some explanation!
Kind of yes, depending on the organisation. But in large, it's a smaller version of Rugby League.
Jin kazama..... Woahhhh
Well spotted!
I just watched a rugby league match and one thing I don't understand is offsides. Is that similar to an offsides in soccer? Also, how many players can be on the "sin bin" at once?
It's complicated, but to put simply - a player has to be behind the ball if his team has possession.
If a player is in front of the ball when it's played and then touches it - this is offside.
Also - players in the sin bin can be unlimited, though this rarely happens anyway. Offences worse than sin-bin usually result in ejection from the game.
Very good video 👌
Thanks bro 😎
Soccer is mainly popular in the European countries but rugby league is popular in Australia
New South Wales and Queensland that is, a joke everywhere else in the country
You didn't mention the zero tackle rule during tackles
Benjamin McGowan There's a lot of rules I didn't explain. Like I said to a lot of other people, this is a short beginners guide to get them up to speed on the game, and is not meant to be an encyclopedia for experts.
I try and keep all my videos short and easy for a complete beginner to understand.
Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Good video
.
ninh can you do the rules of kronum
Ordinarily I would do, but the Kronum League already did a rules of Kronum video.
They've explained it exactly as I would have done and all I would have done is regurgitate it word for word using the same footage.

@@NinhLyUK What do you think of the game? Will it ever be popular? I thought it was cool but also very stupid
Hey Ninh please make a video on rules of athletics
Okay
Good video 👌
.
Maybe a stupid question... but, A team can win (W), lose (L) but on the league table i often sea (B). What does that stand for. Also... there are 2 league tables...the NRL telstra premier league and the NYC Holdon cup.. what is the difference? The winner from both table play against each other for the league cup? Thnx for the video, greetings from the Netherlands
The B on the table refers to byes the team has had (each team get 2 weekends off a season while the other teams play). Holden Cup is an under 20s competition and Telstra Premiership is first grade and the main competition in Australia. They do not play each other
thnx bro
There's also Super League (European League 1) Championship (European League 2) Betfred League 1 (European League 3), French Elite 1 and 2.
Well the nrl season is already started and I hope paramatta eels win the next cup. I hope they can still play good without their best fullback Jared Hayne.
Eels to win the cup? I dunno ... it'd take a lot for them to beat the Rabbitohs or the Bulldogs this year.
Especially seeing as though Jared Hayne has left for the NFL - I don't see them playing better than they did last season.
NRL is good to watch though.
Ninh Ly well we got to give them credit for winning against the rabbitohs last night, hopefully they can keep this up in their next game
Erving Johnston Did they?! Wow, there's hope yet!
Erving Johnston Parramatta are an awful side right not. I don't see them win anything in the next five years.

please do RUGBY LEAGUE NINES ,TAG RUGBY and TOUCH .
Can u do the rules of futsal I love futsal
I'm really confused by one aspect of rugby league. When a penalty is given, does the tackle count reset? I can't find any consistent answer for this.
You can either kick in to touch and tap in line of where it went out (set restarted at 0), kick for 2 points or tap where the penalty was conceded (set is restarted at 0)
@@tomhall799 Ah, thank you. That is what I had thought, but I questioned myself because I never saw this in any set of rules that I read. But it makes sense so I'm glad you clarified.
2:37 = one of the reason we let Briscoe go⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Briscoe wasn't that bad ... he's better at Rugby League than I am!
+Ninh Ly yeah that's why he's a professional😂 he became a liability towards the end
Well that is your teams loss because he has been pretty good for us. He even went and scored a record five tries in a challenge cup final.
