American REACTS to BEST RUGBY TRIES of 2024!

[@gloriatshabalala3619]

So true about a rugby game all day long❤

[@TheHiltonblake]

South African, here.. Yeah - rugby IS a lot of fun!.. So, keep watching, brotha'!..

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

you lads play super rugby it's joy to watch. Hopefully Ireland can achieve a world cup victory. Until the next world cup

[@andrionusthemage1016]

I hope you appreciate that the tries came from all over big teams little teams and not just the money making teams

[@Chaddington98]

I noticed that! Very cool

[@keimahane]

@1:46 Arendse is currently playing for my local Rugby Team in Japan, Sagamihara Dyna Boars. He scored two tries within the first 9 minutes of this weeks game. Incredible talent.

[@robinboyes9675]

Well Done sir, you have come on a long way with your knowledge and appreciation in a short time. Chuffed your enjoying Rugby. Well done.

[@mirandahotspring4019]

Good to see an American getting into rugby. There was a game in 2021 for the 1874 cup, named for the first recorded game of rugby to be played in the USA. It was played in Washington DC between the US Eagles and the NZ All Blacks. It's on KZbin, I think you can guess the outcome. But the US did score their first ever try against the All Blacks, and their second one as well.

[@thekiwinomad]

I'm a kiwi (a person from new Zealand). Rugby is our national sport it's great to play and to watch. Although it is very hard on the body with limited playing time. General once you reach 35 it's pretty over for playing. But still a great sport.

[@secotioid]

They have to hold the ball for as long as possible before passing to draw the defender and make sure they commit to a tackle, thus leaving less defence available and opening a gap.

[@RossoVerdeNero]

It's great watching the likes of Portugal (second tier team in the world hierarchy) scoring an awesome try against South Africa, currently the best team in the world.

[@bobgoodall1603]

The high kick is usually referred to as a Garry Owen after the Irish club that introduced it to the game

[@gvigary1]

I love rugby now I don't have to play it 😁(as a child who was always smaller than his peers)!

[@ironside210]

Passing just before "being taken out" is to ensure that the defender is also "taken out". Passing too soon sees defender shift focus to the next ball carrier. A good Union game is a joy to watch, as you are finding. For an American, note that there are few stoppages, so 80 minutes of action in about 90 minutes on field. Stamina required!

[@GoneJoka]

Best part about rugby is watching "props breaking the line"

[@ZA_Troglodyte]

Even better: the look on a prop's face when he just broke the line and realises he has to run with the ball, with probably 29 players on the field who are faster than him 😂

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

The really high kicks are called 'bombs'

[@Chaddington98]

haha I think that's what I called it!

[@andrionusthemage1016]

[@raymonddixon7603]

There are a lot of grinding, grinding low score games too man. From Ireland 💚💚🤍🤍🧡🧡

[@deaddoll1361]

It's not the world's best sport, but it's way better than whatever it is that Americans call football.

[@TIDYJOKER]

I'm loving your appreciation, and analogy. Ive grown up with all the jargon, and it's nice to hear a fresh look at the sport

[@neptuneajax]

I highly recommend you have a look at Rugby League. It is very similar to Union, but is even more accessible to those who understand NFL. It is also more exciting and the rules make a bit more sense.

[@proskipper1]

Note Player try to place the ball ( touch down) under the post if poss to make conversion kick easier.

[@BP-kx2ig]

Ausome!😊

[@WilliamOCarroll-z9q]

In rugby if you have the ball running down field you will purposely draw in the defense so that you assisting runners can have a clear run to the try line

[@avandy3]

In the old days a high,short kick was called "an up and under".😊

[@henryglurpenshtorpe6543]

Noice! Rugby is a cool game

[@ruanniemann1678]

As a kid you're told to "swing it" pass the ball, let the ball down the work. Modern defensive patterns make it a lot harder. You should react to a Squidge Rugby video to understand the level of planning and preparation that goes into these moves.

[@burningheart11]

Hi Chaddington, if I can make a suggestion to exchange the screen size of the rugby footage you are reacting to with the screen showing you - it makes for a better watch along experience for your audience

[@clivegilbertson6542]

G'day Mate! Have you had a look at the Sevens tournaments? World Sevens is pretty exciting stuff... Cheers!

[@ClubRugbyWales]

Best game in the world, really hope the MLR in the US goes from strength to strength too, can only be a good thing for the game.

[@leechgully]

Actually that little chip kick pass from the Frenchman was pretty good.

[@garyrobets6147]

Rugby v America Football. Only one winner... Rugby has it all and more

[@Mrharryprosser]

Rugby as far as football codes go is a minor sport in Australia. With game attendances of up to 100,000 the Australian Football code (AFL) dominates. Especially not just men, but women and children excited to attend as it maintains their interest throughout the game with non stop athletic action.

[@AverageAussieBloke-r1z]

Rugby Union.... Rugby League is AFL's equal

[@Mrharryprosser]

@ 😂🤣😂 Rugby average crowd attendance in 2024 was 20,100. The AFL average of 38,300, nearly double. Television viewers are both average just under 800,000 per game. AFL finals viewing 1,400,00 compared to NRL 1,057,00. Foxtel keeps it’s set-top box viewers a secret so viewership relies on number from channels seven and nine making comparisons very difficult.

[@AverageAussieBloke-r1z]

@ are you talking about Rugby Union? Rugby league had an average of 3.4m viewers for each State of Origin match with a peak of 5.4m for game one making the series the highest rating TV show in the country ever. Game 2 and 3 were second and third. More people go to AFL. But more people watch NRL.

[@br4dy1998]

can you check out the NRL, its rugby leagie, similar to this which is rugby union, its faster paced than this rugby so i think youll enjoy it more. The NRL had Russel Crowe make a promo for it directed at Americans becaue last year they started the season in vegas and sold over 40k tickets. theyre going to be back this year so get into it before the season starts. ps nearly all reactors that react to both rugby league and rugby union, majority of the time they prefer league

[@br4dy1998]

If you care, NRL and AFL are australias 2 biggest sports, but its based off where in australia you are. if youre interested in learning about it theres a video called "The Barassi Line - Australia's Great Sporting Divide" it explains it

[@br4dy1998]

the only thing left out of that videos is that the nrl has a huge pacific island audience and players from there whereas the afl dont have many at all

[@B-tr9kz]

Yeah check out the NRL. Its the biggest club Rugby competition of either code. Its the most watched sport in Australia and is big in NZ and the pacific.

[@markpaweena781]

Depends on your sporting preference AFL will challenge pretty hard for the title

[@vtbn53]

AFL? Total crap! It's only played by Mexicans

[@Ducatirati]

@markpaweena781 Yeah , AFL , is a non stop , 120 mins of brutality , fast , athleticism is a other level , no using hands leap on the shoulders of a 210 cm giant , that's some leap , 70 meter kick , Common, frantic , the tempo is awesome , no breaks , an add after a goal 30 secs , no goals no adds , no time out , and players must get up straight away , a 2 on 1 will cost a goal , it has no off side , so 360° legal , it'll catch on , and is oldest Codified football game on earth, Codified by MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club) In 58/59 , then in. AEF Codified Soccor in 1863 , 1870 first FA Cup, then in 1871 FRU Codified Rugger and Gridiorn who took a lot from Rugby, as Brits were in America , and was codified in 1973 , the IAA codified Gaelic Football in 1884 , so it's a very old game , the first with rules , Copyrighted , and an American came to Australia saw Australian Rules and invented Basket ball . it's a ripping game footy , cheers

[@kolerick]

a good team will use the holes in the opposite defense... a great team will shake the opposite team to create the holes

[@entropy-is-all]

You must watch the videos on Nigel Owens to see probably the best rugby referee. PS: watch 'Nigel Owen's being Nigel Owens' first

[@geoffw8565]

Chaddington, watch the 9 minute You Tube video of All Blacks v Barbarians 1973 Just sublime rugby by both teams !

Great reaction! You should definitely react to the #1 men's international team, the Springboks! :)

[@scollyb]

On the try when you complain about the defence. Look back to where the run started, both teams were on the other try line. They are all running back trying to get into defensive positions

Rugby League is a faster game than Rugby Union and is a much bigger sport in Australia. Check out the top tries in that.

[@martinwhite3559]

This is Rugby Union, it is quite complicated to learn all the rules. We also play Rugby League in Australia, and it is much easier to learn and a much faster game. Not as popular as Rugby Union around the world but a better spectator sport.

[@Ducatirati]

AFL , the BIGGEST football code in Australia , the oldest Codified football game on earth , yup AFL Codified 1858/59 by Melbourne cricket Club ,MCC , then EFA CODIFIED Soccor 1863 , RFU CODIFIED RUGBY IN 1871 ,then Gridiorn 1773 , And IAA CODIFIED GAELIC FOOTBALL IN 1884 , then you should watch non stop , Australia Football, it's awesome , Rugger league is ok , but AFL next level . Honest , 121 , 696 ppl at a G F. not bad , 4 th largest watched sport per capita on earth , coz it's outstanding, no off side either , cheers GO BLUES RARARA
