A great reaction which shows a good understanding of the game. Just a couple of things. Many Americans don't understand how a player can run through the opposing team without being tackled because they don't realise how wide a rugby field is. Also, if you lift a player in a tackle then it is your responsibility to make sure that you do not tip the player beyond the horizontal i.e. they do not go head first into the ground.
Football (soccer) is 90 mins of the players pretending to be injured. Rugby is 80 mins of the players pretending they're not.
Hahaha Absolutely bang on 🤣
I love rugby as much as I love football there's no real reason to bash it. Footballers stay down because it's incentivised. The ref only pays attention when you hit the ground or are physically injured. Rugby players would do the same if the benefit of it was the same. With the increase of Tmo checks more rugby players are staying down after collisions because they will go back and penalise the other team
@t._dot no bashing here, it was a light hearted comment only to make people smile
@@juliaosborn5508 in that case... I take it all back😂
@@mrimperfection1112 Starting creep into Union.
Small guys with good speed, such as I was and most of my grandsons are today, play at number 11 or 14. These are the wingers. We run like a bat out of hell because if we're caught we'd get squished like a cockroach. 😂
Easiest way to know who are the faster players is to check their numbers on the back of their jerseys. No 9 to 15 are the faster players on the team. 11 and 14 are the Wingers. They are the men with the jet shoes on. No 1 to 8 is the men that do all the heavy lifting and grunt work in the scrums and line outs.
About the kicking: in rugby you cannot pass the ball forward. You call only pass sideways or backwards. The only way to pass forwards is with a kick.
And you have to be behind that kick in order to touch it afterwards if you're on the same team, otherwise you're offside
Jona Lomu: RIP. One of the very best all blacks there ever was.
Yes
He was a good man on and off the field
One of the very best... period!
6' 5", 270lb and ran the 100m in 10.7sec. The stats speak for themselves.
Tackling in rugby is more technical than American football.
You can't tackle above the shoulders, so no arms around neck or head.
You're not allowed to "shoulder charge" tackle - i.e. dive and use momentum to knock a player over WITHOUT wrapping the arms.
Basically, for a tackle to be legal, you have to wrap your arms around the opposing player.
That's why it's so darn difficult to get some of those big guys down.
You can dive and wrap your arms around the tree trunk legs if you want to, but you're risking a rising knee to the face or collar bone.
That is why most of the tackles you see are at waist/chest height.
The number 9 making the “impossible” tackle at 1:06 is Antoine Dupont. He’s the best player in the world right now, and arguably the greatest ever. He’s world class in both attack and defence. If there’s one Rugby player you should watch, it’s him.
Saffa here, if anyone deserves a World Cup it's Dupont. The French deserve to put one in the trophy case. If ANY northern nation should hold the cup it's those fellas.
The equivalent of a Touchdown is called a Try, but in Rugby you have to literally touch the ball down to score. "In Touch” means out of bounds. If you drop the ball forwards it’s called a Knock On, and the opponent is then awarded a Scrum Penalty.
Which is really odd, because in American football the equivalent of a try is a "touchdown", even though they don't have to touch it down! Shows American football's origins in Rugby. In Rugby, originally you didn't score points for a try, but it did give you the right to kick at the goal, it was known as a "try at goal". Now the try is the main point scorer and the following kick at goal is known as a "conversion", giving extra points on top of the try.
Since there is no forward pass in Rugby, the kick is a way to move the ball down the field where anyone can recover it or to another player on the team.
This was amazing-- each clip clips was more unbelievable than the one before it! I like to've fell out when the player picked up his opponent and used him as a battering ram...and then ol' #3 made that unbelievable run, looking like he was supercharged and yet seeming to pick up even more speed as he ran...and it just kept on like that, getting better and better. Thanks! (I'm still laughing when I think of that battering ram thing...).
@1:56 Antoine Dupont, best player of the world right now. A must watch highlights.
This guy barely makes mistakes and is totally amazing to watch.
Nice reaction man. Into touch means out of bounds in American Football
"In touch" means it's out of bounds over the side line, (not shorthand for touchdown.)
welcom to the rugby family mr Polo, hope you enjoy every video mate!
The last world cup France vs the world champions South Africa 🇿🇦 was one of the best games I've ever seen
It's a try not a touch.. The sideline is called a touch line.. So they say into touch. Means the ball is out.
4:36 kicking the ball while in play you must kick the ball directly and only you or a player that was on side/behind may contend for the ball. If you are attempting to kick for goal while in play then the ball must touch the ground before kicking this is called a drop kick and if converted is worth 3 points.
Rugby is all about creating space or dynamic overload… You’re trying to get space for your fast guys, or your huge guys running at little guys (the fast guys are usually little)… If you’re truly blessed your team has players like Jonah Lomu or Ndolo who was enormous and rapid so it didn’t matter who was in front of him
Polo, I'd love to see your reaction to the New Zealand 'All Blacks ' rugby team perform the greatest Haka ever. Bet you'll love it.
You can only pass the ball back by hand to a team mate, but you can kick it forward and chase it.
The two wingers are usually the fastest players, but usually plays revolve around punching holes or finding gaps in defence. Everyone support each other, so even the fastest winger will have a support runner near them to take the ball if needed. Players will sometimes deliberately delay the pass to draw in the defenders, before offloading the ball to a team-mate to break defence and score.
You also often see the biggest and slowest guys on the team score, unlike NFL, every player have a chance to score
To bad they didn have Chris calling that end to end run - "He could go all the way!"
Hi Polo! Welcome to Rugby.
Yeah the passes are more to keep a teams momentum going forward & giving the ball to a player in better space gives the receiver that split second longer with the ball in hand to do something special on attack
In touch means they basically went out of bounds. A try is when you score or the equivalent of a TD. You’ve also seen some clips here where it’s actually 7s I.e there’s 7 men on the field instead of 15 - this is more fast guys and the ultimate test of endurance as the field is the same size!
I would actually say Rugby is more strict on tackling so you must use your arms and everyone is taught to tackle low.
"Rugby is a game played by real men with odd shape balls"
Rugby started in England when someone picked up the ball and ran with the ball whilst a soccer match was being played.
Yup it started in England and finishes in New Zealand. Best rugby team in the world for ever
A myth. Football was played at Rugby School for decades before the Football Association was formed in 1863. Running with the ball was part of the early Rugby game and became more popular through the 1830s.
@@newremote Thankyou for that. I like getting factual history correct so when the conversation comes up around a table of friends I can be as correct as possible 🤜🏼🤛🏾
@@newremote I like myths
We had a rugby team in high school, no football but soccer and rugby. Yeah you got hit really hard with no protective equipment. I remember playing football in the Navy, I remember jumping up to catch a pass when I was hit by a guy who used to play for the Michigan state and he nailed me when I was in midair. I remember hitting the concrete and my head bouncing up where I caught a microsecond glimpse of my teammates going crazy because I had amazingly caught that ball. I woke up 2 hours later in the Naval hospital with a severe concussion. Point being you play on concrete your going to get hurt. Hey bring it on.
Rugby's got everything from other big field team sports combined. Every body type has a place, everyone gets to touch the ball and run with it, everyone gets to tackle. Speaking of tackling, none of the NFL style hits and 'spearing' are allowed at all, and will be penalized, so learning how to actually do a proper tackle is required. And those guys mean mugging each other on the field will be hugging and buying each other round after round of drinks after the game. Best sport in the world, and a true brother/sisterhood beyond that.
6:41 Christian Cullen - The Paekakariki Express. Check this guy.
4:30 the idea with rugby is that different positions have different sizes and skills, so it's often about trying to manipulate where people are to get mismatches or overlaps. Imagine it as being like in the NFL, but if a tackle is made, there is another snap IMMEDIATELY or the other team gets the ball, and so whoever gets there first has to react accordingly. Each play is called a 'phase', so when a team keeps control of the ball for a long time it's called 'going through the phases'. It's why the scrum-half (#9) tends to be small and quick, because they are the main passer on the team so they have to get to those tackles fast to set the next move. Get the right plays and formations and you can end up with situations that would be like William Perry running short yardage at the opposition's punter, or Calvin Johnson going deep in man coverage against a lineman.
"The kick thing" is complicated, as there are a number of rules around it, but the basic thing is that essentially, you can advance the ball by kicking and both teams can compete for the ball once it's been kicked - however from the kicking team, only players who were behind the ball when it was kicked can play the ball. Everybody else is offside, but they are put back 'onside' when they are overtaken by somebody who was behind the ball when it was kicked. Because there is no blocking in rugby and you can't throw the ball forward, there are different types of kicks to advance the ball - from the 'grubber' (like an onside kick style), the 'crossfield kick' (essentially a kick pass from one side of the pitch to the other) and the 'up and under' or 'Garryowen' (a high hangtime kick designed to create a jump catch situation where both teams can fight for the ball upfield) are attacking kicks. Teams will also just kick the ball away similar to going three-and-out in American Football, but because of the way rugby works, they will simply do this when the attack has stalled, and this could take anything from one play to twenty or thirty. Or even none, because, with no blocking, the deep-lying player fielding the kick might see no good option ahead of him and just punt back. It's very common to see the scrum-half kick directly so that the coverage can get a running headstart and put pressure on the catching team, this is equivalent to a QB pooch punt, and is called a "box kick".
You should react to Cheslin Colbe,the guy is a stepping machine.
Taking nothing away from Derrick Henry but the most memorable of his stiff arms tend to be on 180-200lb corners (think Josh Norman).
Furlong (green 3 and the All Blacks) is probably dropping 250-80lb players there.
The physicality of these guys has me wondering how many NFL draft picks would be better suited looking at the rugby teams.
The main thing would be just not knowing how to play the game as good as someone who’s grown up with it, I think there are plenty of Rugby players that could make the switch and NFL players that could also but it’s not a question of physicality or athleticism but a question of adapting to a different game! They have some similarities but at the end of the day are very different games!
Rugby players, especially those at international level like most of the ones featured here, are probably the best all round athletes in the world. They have strength, speed, skills and spatial awareness, as opposed to many or even most other sports where something there is lacking.
Also, the Olympics are coming up soon and Rugby 7s will be one of the earlier events so plenty of live rugby to watch no matter where you are!
Awesome reaction bro. In Rugby you can only tackle the player with the ball, so when rugby players kick the ball you cant tackle the kicker. its another way to get behind the defensive line🫡
Dog eat Dog … It’s shark week 🤣🤣
And no padding either!
Another guy who's obviously never been hit top speed by a guy who is wearing armor. Try getting hit in the knee or shins wth a metal helmet. Or having your fingers between 2 helmets smashing together. That's why there were that stuff. Faster and hard hitting.
They may not use pads, but they have to make sure the tackle is legal. American Football needs more regulations in tackling, Steve Young had to retire early because of concussions and many more players are practically crippled upon retirement.
i would definitely watch you react to a whole rugby game i’d love to see that😆
This is why American football never caught on in Europe and other rugby playing nations.
Should check out some Jonah Lomu highlights. He was the hottest thing in rugby for a long while. Speed AND power. Drag the whole opposing team down the field
Polo, If you want to watch a full game that is absolutely nuts, you should watch the England vs Scotland match from 2019. It's availble on youtube because during covid full repeats of games were getting uploaded for free (you'll have to skip past some rubbish chat at the beginning, though). Or the highlights are out there if you want a shorter video to react to. it's the highest scoring tied game in the history of international rugby. No more spoliers from me.
5:40 Faf de Klerk
5:56 Tadhg Furlong
loving this rugby content. You can kick the ball at any time. But obviously you lose posession. The only people on your team that can then go for the ball that you kicked, must of been behind you when you kicked it. If you see space in behind the defence and youre running fast, you can kick it yourself and hopefully the defence has to spin around and you can burn them to go and get the ball yourself. But they should have their full back behind there. He is typically the last line of defence, but they arent always there. Takes good vision to kick it and collect it yourself
More rugby reactions bro🤗🤗🤗🤗. You are doing a stunning job.
Watch the beginning of a game with New Zealand.
If you're interested, and love near to Washington DC, scotland are playing the USA at Audi Field on July 12th.
11:14 Duhan Van Der Merwe
4:30 nah man, its a true team sport. there might be a lebron in there, but its just one more link in the chain.
Try to find some clips showing after a brutal defensive tackle where in union the tackled player gets piled on by multiple players and still tries to get the ball out backwards to a team mate, once the pack gets off he immediately re-joins the attack or if they lose the ball is immediately in the defensive line. Rugby league is different where multiple players will brutally get the ball carrier to the floor, as soon as he he hits the floor the defenders must immediately get off him but he MUST immediately (unless seriously hurt) get to his feet to play the ball. Theres no rest regardless of what happens. If an injured player isnt seriously injured he must hand the ball to a team mate to keep the game going and either get off the pitch himself or get medical assistance on the pitch away from the action.
Some big international matches coming up in the next few weeks, if you want to see whole games. Ireland are in South Africa for a couple of test matches - the first is this coming Saturday. Arguably the two best teams in the world right now. It's going to be huge.
Generally the quickest players on a rugby team are likely to be the wings (11 and 14), but other backs (9, 10, 12, 13) ought to have decent pace. The one back is the full back (15) who is the last line of defence, must be a brave defender, but real pace makes them a great full back who can counter-attack with the wings. A really quick 'back three' is a headache for the opposition.
Unlike American foot ball where there is minimal use of the feet except for running and a touchdown where you dont have to touch down in rugby you can kick forward but not pass forward.When scoring a try in rugby you need downward pressure on the ball on the ground.Number 11 and 14 is the wingers on the outside on both sides.They are the fast guys and you want to get the ball to them.
Loving the rugby respect 🙏
Do yourself a favour and watch early 2000's Australia vs New Zealand. Huge rivals, awesome skills on display. The All Blacks Haka is the absolute highlight.
Welcome to rugby, no going back now. It’s an epic global sport!
I like hearing your reactions. I recently subscribed - any chance of hearing your reaction to "Stay" by Shakespears Sister?
The Video itself is interesting....and the song itself..I'll let you judge that
Titans or Titians? The former, one would suggest. A Titian is an Italian painter.
Bro, I love that you're doing these. Played rugby in college, and it's by far my favorite sport. Check out All blacks greatest, The NZ team(All Blacks) is regarded by some as the best in rugby.. Best Haka(NZ does a war dance before every match). You're welcome in advance, and Jonah Lomu greatest too, while we're at it... Keep fighting the good fight, bro. You're one of my favorite reactors. And I hope you make all the money.
Check out Australian Rules football. One player was asked if any penalties were called, replied I guess if someone brought a weapon onto the pitch.
You may hv been missing out my man😢 but there's plenty of time to make up cz this amazing sport 🏉 ain't goin' no where.
It's here to stay 🫡
at 4'45" the cut action comes from the 2021 France - New Zealand (All Blacks) match

the full match with English commentary is also on CZcams
😊Aracaju-Se--Brasil😊
It's like American football but without being sterilised to death. Also you can't pass the ball forwards, unless you kick it.
Love your beard
Will any of them be able to have kids?? I understand they don't wear cups!
Tough guys
Again, you should check out women's rugby, its insane
I'm Jane's Addiction
Kia Ora hello Polo from Aotearoa new zealand how ya doing brother?
It might give you a better idea about the game overall if you watch an entire match - I'd recommend any game between either Australia or South Africa and New Zealand. Those matches are almost always very skilful, very passionate, and very brutal!
When you watch a few games the commentators will catch up with the rules.
You should watch a video on side steppers (i think this is what you mean when you say duking) and skills. You should also give womens rugby a watch as well
what do you mean 'if you miss tackling in football' , they removed tackles, i don't watch sports but i did used to play around 20 years ago,.. has tackles been remove from football ?
Rugby is trench warfare (in a nutshell). But if you can skip over the "trenches" with beautiful passing and beautiful tap-kicks to score a try - that's what dreams are made off. Also what you guys call a "juke" - is what Rugby players call a "dummy" Also - no you can't pick someone up lifting them from their feet (illegal tackle).
Please react to the most feared team in the world the Springboks
Please watch the Shaun Johnson video. The man can dodge rain drops
What in the name of he'll is a Duke?
Oh! For f'ks sake - there are NO 'plays' in rugby, the game is continuous. This means things are very dynamic and spontaneous. Also, all players stay on the pitch for the full game (inless injured or sent off). So your phrase "the defense ......." doesn't mean anything, we are all attacking or defending during the game . Lastly, you will notice the player numbers start at 1 and assend. Players 1 to 8 are usually the biggest and strongest and 9-15 are smaller but faster. Lomu was the exception, he was big and fast
Please react to : the vicious side of women rugby
React to Cheslin kolbe currently best player in the world
Picking a player up in a tackle is now illegal.
No it’s not, it’s illegal to tip someone past the horizontal line now! As long as they land on their back it’s fine
Yeah I don't see the point of American footie, all the stopping. Lomu was a bloody god.
MARILYN MANSON
You asked if they are all fast.
I think you know the green Irish prop that dismissed the attention of 3 All Blacks is not fast.
But the fast player have on chance of bench pressing what a prop.
Mate, you are just in time for the international games for the year.
Pick a country and watch a full game, you will get SO much more respect for the pace of the game.
Personally I love the All Blacks (New Zealand), but I'm an Aussie.
Our us football looks wimpy in comparison
its not like soccer
Not even close to touching the physicality. Watch 40 minutes and not 2 seconds.
Get a grip on the basic rules and you'll enjoy it a whole lot more.
I don't know how NFL players would fare transitioning the rugby. NFL training is all about 5-10 second bursts of energy, with the "plays" being directed - rugby is pretty much full-on for 40 minutes, with the entire team largely thinking on their feet. They're superficially similar, but fundamentally quite different.
