How to Play Fullback in Rugby | Rugby Skills Tutorial

[@patospodcast4493]

"And even if you miss that last tackle, they don't give a fuck" 😂😂 pretty much sums up 3rd XV rugby

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Haha that's it bro, I wasn't talking about top rugby that's for sure.

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

The problem with all the swearing is that it won't be seen on restricted mode and is not recommended to age grade kids who want to learn about positions.

[@breadieboi9189]

Hey this is awesome advice for a person that’s switched to fullback or someone that wants to play fullback like me thanks man

[@TmhwkHD]

Nice video m8. I'm 17 and been playing fullback for 3 years now. Wish this could have been uploaded when I started playing. I need to say that having nice hands is very important as well as some speed and intangibles

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Hey man thanks for watching! Sorry I couldn't bring the video out sooner haha but glad you got something out of it. A good pair of hands is vital you're right. Even then, one pass at the back and you can be the hero or the villain in a second :)

[@treyy9567]

had trials today and absolutely smashed it. I watched this the night before thanks man

[@orlando3ish]

this is great i would love to see something more based on the defensive side of being a fullback and positioning if possible

[@wpracy]

Positioning is also vital. Staying in line with the ball carrier makes it a lot easier for when they do break the defensive line, so you won’t be sprinting across the pitch to make tackles

[@miamidolphinsfan]

excellent chat & I encourage MORE rugby stuff on your channel :)

[@dudeg6967]

Lol im doing all the research possible as I joined 2 weeks ago for my school (grade 9/10) and we have our first games in 5 days. Thanks for the vid.

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Good luck bro

[@orbitexe2052]

Dudeg6 I know that feeling, I had no clue about it but I joined and did as much research and I made B side

[@ThisHandleIsAlreadyTaken839]

The same thing is happening to me,any tips?

[@b.e.e11]

Same that’s what I’m doing right now 😂 I’m playing tomorrow wish me luck 😅

[@GeorgeSmith-cr3cd]

Great one mate i play fullback for school. I wanted to play second row or centre but coach made me go fullback because i am fast the whole team blames if the other team scores a try am not good catcher not good tackler too coach say i run too fast whdn chasing someone or catching the ball hate playing fullback i used to live rugby and its a nightmare

[@stiffywilly58]

Thanks never played rugby and I’ve been put in fallback after one training session for school, so wanted to learn the rules

[@haydens7712]

This happened me

[@iyanrubui7172]

Can you please do a video about playing in the wing. ...

[@bigbyrome]

It's an obvious position you can learn from just watching a match just call for the ball, run and/or pass

[@AJ_Edits_11]

Thanks bro I just got assigned to fallback in my first full field game and I hope to use your tips!

[@fittergrady]

I've enjoyed your videos, especially your reactions to American football. As a Yank who knows little to nothing about your game, it's fascinating. I took the time to watch All Blacks versus Ireland (Erin go bragh - my distant cousins won). The more I watch, the more I am coming to understand what our game first looked like. The American version of the game closely resembled Rugby Union in its infancy. In fact, our scoring vocabulary took its name from rules in rugby - touchdown... as in the player was required to TOUCH the ball DOWN to the ground after crossing the goal line. Obviously, players simply need to break the vertical plane of the goal line and are no longer required to ground the ball. The verbiage, however, remains. Your game has a limited following here and live matches are difficult to find. But you've made a budding enthusiast out of me.

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Hey man, awesome to hear! Makes me so happy to hear that I've made a budding enthusiast out of you XD I feel there is room for both of our sports here on my channel and I will continue to merge them in any way I can. So epic that I am connecting with like minded people, on the other side of the pacific. Thanks for reaching out again and plenty more content to come.

[@fittergrady]

Jacob McDonald If you're interested in seeing a style of offensive attack that more closely rugby, I suggest you watch videos of the American service academies' football teams. In our vernacular, it's called the triple option. The play starts with the quarterback, as nearly all plays do. His first option is to hand the ball to a back running directly upfield. His second option is to run parallel to the line of scrimmage with an aim to isolating a single defender with a second offensive back trailing him. If the isolated defender moves to tackle the quarterback, he may then pass the ball laterally or behind himself to the trailing back. In the modern game, it's considered to be an outdated style of play. But it is lethal when well executed. The timing and discipline it requires also work well with players who are used to military culture. The University of Nebraska used the triple option to devastating effect in the 1990's, when they won three national collegiate championships in four years. The video may be grainy, but highlight films of the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers are worth a look. Most students of the college game acknowledge that team as the greatest ever in the college game.

[@JacobMcDonald27]

That DOES sound like a similar looking move to rugby! :D That's awesome, I'm trying to imagine it now lol. I have seen a couple of really small passes in some of the highlight videos I have been watching, kind of like what you are describing. Maybe they were using the triple option and gave it to the trailing back who then sliced through the gap that opened. Epic stuff mate, thanks for sharing. I'll have a look :)

[@evanmouton3993]

Great position to play mate, good luck out there!

[@RXS_breezet]

[@hedgesfreeston5750]

[@thobanizuma4987]

Great video indeed, can you please do the one for scrum half Jacob 👊🏽

[@JacobMcDonald27]

But I've never played scrum half in my life lol!

[@thobanizuma4987]

You sure can make a plan brother, lol or feature someone who does play scrum half on one of your videos (This is now a video idea :-) )

[@rowannewbury6594]

Thanks that video really helped me seeing as I play fullback for our u13 a team

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Thats great bro, have a good season!

[@jeremiahmoce2439]

[@barrymacleod711]

Thanks buddy from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@taylor.c-fangaming5]

Great video really helped me out

[@JacobMcDonald27]

No worries man!

[@-mona8276]

How do u improve your kicking game

[@yaboiliphe3813]

My coach just switched me from playing center to full back

[@chickennbacon6646]

Where do you move in general play when it’s not set piece and your own team has the ball

[@ethanmoua49]

If your team has the ball then you join the other backs.

[@romanvaoga2439]

That freaks me out playing fullback and I'm kind of alright at attack but when defence comes that's when I start to thinking but I really really hate it when they chip and chase over me and I really hate it when they try and bump me off but it funny cause I tackle the strong one not the fast ones so yeah I'm kind of improving I think?

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Keep going brah! Always a good feeling taking someone down as the last line of defence.

[@dominictinnelly6648]

Roman Vaoga I get you man I find it easier to make the tackle when someone tries to run through you instead of stepping you

[@Razeesports06]

If you switched to fullback can you still score tries

[@gorankellett732]

thank for that. although I would not kick it every time I'm in the 20s. I like to keep the ball, as then we can score and not the opposing team

[@gustavocastrejon1202]

i use to play wing but i want to play fullback now i’m 5’7 and 160 pounds would i be good

[@JacobMcDonald27]

+Gustavo Castrejon You'd be a star

[@gustavocastrejon1202]

thanks mate , i’ll talk to my coach at practice about playing fullback

[@gvin9464]

I’m 16 and I play my first mens game and I’ll be at fullback and I need this lol

[@DouggieF]

i have been pretty confused about this rule. So if im full back and in my own 22 if i kick it straight into touch is it then my line out or the opponents?

[@JacobMcDonald27]

The opponents line out, but if you kick it out on the full whilst outside of your own 22, then the lineout is brought back to the point of the kick. So, best to kick out on the full if inside own 22, but if outside own 22, make sure to have it bounce in field of play before going out

[@petertelford5338]

This was very useful

[@cam1294]

Fullback to centre to flyhalf back to fullback now play flanker 😂

[@youngboii_just8124]
