[@samgriffiths2901]

To score a try the ball has to touch the ground, that’s why they slide like that. You don’t have to slide but in a lot of situations it’s the best way to make sure the ball is down. They play on grass so you can get grass burns but Rugby players are tough so that’s nothing to them. Also the reason they chase them down past the try line is because until that ball is down a try isn’t scored but the attacking team wants to put the ball down as close to the centre as possible because they get to take a kick for an extra 2 points. The kick (called a conversion) is taken from somewhere in line from where the ball was put down, hence why they try and put it down as close to the centre as they can. A try is worth 5 points in Rugby Union.

In rugby union (the most played form of rugby), a try is worth 5 points, and you can then convert it (kick it over the posts) for an extra 2 points. It's called a try because back in the 1800s, tries were worth nothing, but allowed you to 'try' for a conversion.

[@MusMasi]

then if you are in range and you get a penalty you get a free kick at goal, from the place the penalty is awarded which is 3 points. Then there is a field goal, which is a drop kick from general play, it has to be a drop kick, if it goes between the posts it is 3 points.

You kick the ball over the crossbar and between the posts, not over them.

I love how you guys at the end were saying you'd go down with to avoid getting bruises... In rugby the 'play' isn't dead until there is a penalty, a score or the ball goes out of bounds. When someone goes down with the ball, the ball is free game for either side unless other players come in and effectively play lineman, stopping the other team getting to the ball, the result is usually a pile of bodies (called a ruck) that someone has to dig the ball out of for your team, and if you're at the bottom of that pile, it sucks, big time!

waaay back in the day scoring a try gave you an attempt, a try at kicking the ball over the goal, to convert it in to a score. Therefore you got a try to then convert it in to a goal 😊

[@lordomacron3719]

note the spot where the ball is placed down (and the ball is still in play until it is placed on the ground in the 'end zone) for a try (5 pts) determines where the conversion kick (2pt) after the try will be taken from on the 40-meter line. oh, and a drop goal or foul kick if kicked over the goalposts is 3pts.

[@adzcarter4014]

Just for you Info boys, the more towards the ‘field goal’ you get a try ie you put the ball down on the floor in the ‘end zone’ then you have a chance to shoot a conversion which is like a ‘field goal’ where you try and kick the ball through the goal posts

[@JJ-vr7gl]

Reacting to Football/Soccer Next

[@uknowamsaying]

Some basic rules about Rugby that will help you guys' understanding: 1. If you are passing the ball to your team mate with your hands, the pass cannot be a forward pass. It has to be sideways or backwards. 2. You are only allowed to pass forward with your legs, aka kicking the ball foward. This might sound easy, but because of the shape of the ball (it is not round), you have no gaddam clue where it will go if you kick it forward. Most kick forwards lead to a chase as your team mates tend to be behind the ball when you are with the ball. 3. You can pass as many times until you lose the ball or score a try. 4. If the opposition is tackling you (i.e. trying to get the ball from you), once you go down on the floor, they [the opposition] are only allowed to take the ball as long as the are standing and bending down. It is your team mates job to make it difficult for them to do this easily. The opposition aren't allowed to be scrappling on the floor with any part of their body (e.g. knees, hands or back) touching the floor to get the ball. 5. If you are on the ground with the ball, all the players (including yours and the opposition) are suppose to fall behind the line where the ball is, on your side of the pitch, as soon as reasonably possible. 6. When your team is not with the ball, you are not allowed to tackle or impede any opposition player not with the ball. You can only tackle the player in possession of the ball. 7. All your tackles should be with your arms and these should be aimed below the chest area. Not the head, neck or chest. Tackles are mostly supposed to be like you are aiming for a bear hug below the chest. 8. If someone is injured, medics are allowed to rush on the pitch to treat them even while the game is still ongoing. These rules make Rugby a game requiring a lot of tactics, formation and physical strength. You will see that when a player is running with the ball, his team mates all try to only run behind him, because if they are in front of him, he cannot pass to them.

[@allansbullet]

In the very first clip the guy who scored the try, number 23, is Ryan Crotty. He played all his junior and club rugby for our local rugby club here in Christchurch, New Zealand - the New Brighton Rugby Football Club, before he made it into the New Zealand All Blacks, the national team. The All Blacks, incidentally, have the best record of any sports team on the planet, winning nearly 80% of ALL the games they've played - since 1905 - and have a winning record against EVERY other country they've played!! THAT'S what you call dominant!! The New Brighton Rugby Football Club just celebrated its 100th anniversary on Easter Weekend 2021 incidentally. We love our national sport!!

[@chumatyolo5925]

[@jjsamuelu1847]

That play where they kick it over the other players and got it back is referred to as a “Chip kick” because you chip the ball specifically but not as hard as a proper kick off so that you can make the distance and catch it or have it bounce and receive the ball back to make a play💯

[@Jaqueli9er]

the name try, as explained in wikipedia: The term "try" comes from "try at goal", signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.

[@HankD13]

There are two Rugby codes - League and Union (you are watching Union). American football came from rugby league - you changed the 6 tackles to 4 downs and then allowed one forward pass = American Football. Union just keeps going, after a tackle the ball must be released and then fought over - rucks (on the ground) and mauls (when standing up). It is also why you call your score a "touch down" because in rugby you actually have to touch the ball down. Ball out over the side lines results in a "line out" - which is where you saw them lifting the catchers up.

[@AGirlNamedVan]

Lol I'm getting all these rugby recaps and I'm loving it... Go south Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@crustydownunder]

"It's not a try if you make it"? Well then, how is it a touch-down if you don't actually touch-down???

[@BoldRam]

That guy at 4m40 was Jonah Lomu. Have a google about him guys. Great vids. Keep it up.

[@ichiwo1526]

The term "try" originally meant that once you pressed the ball down over the "goal line" you get a "TRY at the goal" in other words, you get a "free" kick at the goal posts without interference from the opposition team. It used to be 0 points, then gradually got more points as time went on. Once it reached like 3 points for a "try", some thought that a "try" was actually supposed to be "tri" as in "3" hence the three points. But since the early 1990s you got like 5 points for a try, 2 points for a conversion. A conversion is when you kick the ball over the posts after getting a try to "convert" it into the full 7. You get 3 points for kicking a penalty or "drop" kick at the goal posts. That's pretty much the rushed down scoring of the game.

[@newspectre]

i love how at 4:52 you said "hes a line backer" that is jona lomu he was the most devastating winger to put on a rugby union jersey. now a winger is rugbys equivalent to your guys wide receiver mainly built for speed but yeah jona was a big guy

[@Dgcgtff]

lifting the guy to catch the ball it how you restart when the ball is out of play - called a lineout..one guy throw in the middle and the tall guys jumped and get lifted to catch the ball..

[@kenhorlor5674]

5:45 They do that, slide in with the ball securely held to the body, so the ball cannot be dislodged during the scoring of a try. For a try (touchdown) the ball must be placed on the ground within the goal area with downward pressure on the ball by the body or hands, while the ball carrier is in control of the ball. Even though the player is in the goal area (end zone), play still continues, and the ball only becomes dead after the try is scored (or the referee blows his whistle for ball held up). This is unlike American Football where the touchdown occurs when the ball crosses the plain of the end zone (goal area). In rugby, if the player with the ball loses or is stripped of the ball, the defending team can run the ball back and score at the other end, and this has happened many times in the past.

[@cree878]

I’m not 100% sure but have been told that back in the day a touchdown was worth 1 point but the real value of the touchdown was it gave the team a TRY at kicking the ball through the posts for the extra points , thanks for reaction

[@MartyMolloy]

That is exactly right. There had been various games called "football" played in towns and villages in England for centuries, usually involving teams from neighbouring villages trying to move a pig's bladder into the centre of the other village's high street. There was no unified set of rules, everything was very ad hoc and the sport could be so dangerous that King Edward III actually banned "all forms of football" from being played on public holidays. That was back in the 14th century!!!! By the 19th century, boys' boarding schools, where the wealthy went, each had their own version of football with their own peculiar rules. Some wouldn't allow players to handle the ball; some would. The non handling game was eventually standardised and codified as Association Football in the 1860s or so and became known as Soccer for short. The handling version of football was based on the game originated at Rugby School and was therefore known as Rugby Football. The first rugby international match took place in 1872 between England and Scotland. Ireland played England for the first time in 1875. Wales joined in a few years later and France joined the annual International championship, which still takes place every year, in 1909. Italy joined in 2000. Rugby, along with cricket, also became the game of the Empire and was (and is) extremely popular in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands. (Soccer was never very popular in the Empire. In fact, one of the few things that all countries formerly ruled by Britain have in common is that they all suck at soccer, but I digress). As a game that originated as just another variant of football, the purpose of Rugby was originally to score a "goal" That is to kick the ball over the bar and between the uprights. For the first few years of international competition scores were just recorded as "goals". Touching the ball down over the opponents' goal line earned one a "Try at Goal", ie no points were awarded for the touchdown itself The team merely got the opportunity to kick a goal unimpeded. In 1891 the first approximation to modern scoring values was adopted. A try now earned you three points plus the opportunity to kick a "conversion" for another two. Kicks at goal from a penalty earned three points. And curiously, to today's thinking, a field goal which must be kicked as a dropped goal or half volley (not a punt) was originally worth four points. This reflects rugby's origins as a form of football with the highest value being placed on kicking a goal from normal play.. In 1947 the value of a field goal was reduced to three points. In 1972 the value of a try was increased to four points. In1992, the value of a try was increased to five points. Those are the values that pertain today.

[@tgbabcoc]

Where they lift them is called a line out and it is a way to restart the play. You also have to slide to score. Has to be touched down.

[@kenpercival]

it's called a try because back in the 1800s the touchdown allowed that side to kick a field goal. Scoring in those days was confined to the kick after touchdown, a field goal or a drop goal. In the early 1900s the rugby decided to give the try/touchdown some points value which started off at 3 points with conversion after the try worth 2 points. In 1971 the try was upgraded to 4 points and in the late 1980s to 5 points. All other kicked points apart from the conversion after a try are worth 3 points. A penalty try (automatically worth 7 points) can be awarded by the referee.

[@ewandavidson6603]

The reason they chase you over the “end zone” is because of three reasons: 1) they can still push you out of bounds either at the side or the back - the dead-ball line; 2) they could still theoretically take the ball from you before you touch it on the ground for a try; 3) where you put the ball down determines where the conversion kick is taken from, and they want that to be as far away from between the posts as possible, so it makes it more difficult for the kicker to score, and a conversion kick is worth 2 points. General scoring: 5 for a try; 2 for a conversion, which is kicked from the ground; 3 for a drop-kick; 3 for a penalty kick. Drop-kick can be from any player while the ball is in play, punting the ball from their hands to their foot between the opponent’s goals; a penalty is given for a foul and if it is within kicking distance the chosen kicker can aim to score between the posts with the ball on the ground. Alternatively, a drop-kick or penalty-kick can be aimed to go out of bounds at the sidelines in order to necessitate a line-out. This is the throwing of the ball to the group of players who line-up side-by-side and can lift their teammates to catch or deflect the ball to their side. Whilst the opposing team may have deliberately put the ball out of bounds with a kick, the defending team throw the ball in. The gambit from the attacking team is moving the play closer to the opponent’s try line.

[@ArtemisTherion]

When they lift the guys up and catch the ball that's called a line out. It's a restart of play from a penalty. In rugby the sideline is not your friend you always want to cut back in. If you go out of bounds it's a turn over ball for the other team at the spot where the ball went out of bounds. The team with possession picks the number of people involved in the lineout with equal sides. They then throw the ball in between the two sides where you can have a jumper get lifted in the air to catch it above the other side. Usually the jumper will either quickly pass it down to the remaining back line, or come down to start a maul where the players in the line out bind together and create a large battering ram driving through the other team.

You can kick the ball anytime you like. (Remember: this is still a form of football.) You just can't throw it forward at all. You can't even tap it on. When you kick the ball, you or anyone on your team behind you when you kick can catch it and advance it. The kick is used in rugby in the same way the forward pass is used in American Football.

[@WilfChadwick]

It's called a try coz originally the conversion after the ''try'' was worth more points therefore a ''touchdown'' or ''try'' meant that you could ''try'' to get a conversion, hence ''a try''. Points scoring has changed but the vernacular hasn't.

[@kikifletcher3087]

In rugby, it's not "down by contact." You are considered tackled when your forward momentum is stopped. You can get up and keep running if someone takes you down but can't hold you, and you're still moving forward.

The reason for the name "try" is the progenitor of rugby ( which was not soccer BTW). In that sport when you touched the ball behind the line it gave you the opportunity to kick a goal. As the game evolved the touch down became more important, hence 5 points for the try and only 2 for the conversion (kick over the posts). Hope this helps

[@tomeullabres5288]

They keep following the player in the end zone because the try gets scored when the player touches the ground with the ball while holding it and not when he enters the end zone like it happens on ameican football. And the guy who has the ball tries to put the ball on the ground as centered as possible because where you put the ball down determines where are you going to take a kick for an extra point.

[@kevinaddeh92]

Basic rules...team is split into forwards and backs ...forwards are bigger ...backs are faster & smaller ...pass backwards or to the side... everyone can run with the ball ....ball needs to be touched to the ground in the endzone to score a TRY.... after a TRY is scored a conversion kick is given (field goal)... in most cases they try it's 5 points and a conversion is 2 points.. you can kick the ball at any point but you give the risk of losing possession of the ball.... it's basically a game of keeping lines and finding gaps

[@KevinPugh-hq8rc]

The pitch use to be just grass, now the grass is reinforced by plastic/nylon thread to wear better in wet weather. The scrum ready does break up just a grass pitch. The game is free flow - because you never know when a gap will open to you. As soon as one player 'goes' the rest of the team races to support the player. You do not need to dive to touch the ball down, you can simply touch it down on the ground. If you kick the ball, then any team member in front of you must retreat back. And the kicker runs forward to put his team "onside" - or simply the the ball defines the onside/offside line. So, when the ball is kicked, the point of the kick is the onside/offside line. You can slide over the line to get a try, which we call momentum, but you cannot crawl on the ground to get the try. I played Number 8 and wing forward - 6 and 7. A try is 5 points, and if the kicker converts the try you get another 2 points. A penalty conversion is 3 points. A drop goal is 3 points. The passer tries to ensure that he takes out as many opposition player by timing the pass ... or by throwing a pass, but not letting go and do a side step. There are 8 forwards (they make up the line out and scrum). The backs are 10 to 14. Number 9 is the scrum half and basically runs the forwards. The backs are run by the fly half - number 10, and the last line of defence is the number 15 - the full back. Yes, we have names for each position and all players are attackers and defenders - as I said - a free flow game. The first game of the 6 nations is 4th of Feb 2023 - Wales vs Ireland in Cardiff.

I played tight end when I played football(gridiron) in America. I played a little Hooker in New Zealand where I still live. I'm telling you the atmosphere in Auckland City downtown during the 2011 Rugby World Cup was amazing. I stood at the top of Queen Street and looked downhill and all I saw was a sea of people from all over the world having celebrating.

We play all of our best sports here in Australia on grass, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Australian Rules Football (nothing like soccer) and also cricket. Crickets good to, you can bowl a ball at a batsmen at 100+ MPH and legally hit him from his toes to his skull and all in between

[@IrelandBrian1970]

It's called a TRY from when the game started back in the day, you crossed the line meant you get to (TRY) kick for the points, missed no points, then later changed to kick for extra points, to convert (conversion). Was 4 + 2, now 5 + 2. Drop goal/Penetly kick 3 points.

[@barrynichols2846]

Rugby was scored by goals when it started. You scored a try, then you kick for goal. A try for goal. They started giving points for the try when someone scored 8 tries to one, and they kicked one goal with their 1 shot and won a goal to nil. This was 1890.

[@tonybrown3910]

@Sam Griffiths And as a bit of history, it's called a Try because originally in the game, touching the ball down over the goal line didn't get you any points at all, but it gave you the opportunity to Try and score by kicking the ball through the uprights - the conversion.

[@siegeupon5894]

Grass! Pass back, kick forward and where you touch the ball down in the try line is where you take the conversion (kick)

[@cheslyn8614]

Hey guys. I really love your reactions. Got me cracking up. You should seriously do a reaction video on 'when rugby steppers humiliated opponents' you'll really enjoy it. I'm from South Africa so I obviously support the Springboks, current RWC Champions. You should do a reaction on a player called Cheslin Colby, his awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@TheScouseassassin]

Or watch how England beat the boks in November 2021 (just) ;-)

[@eruantien9932]

So, *way* back when, you didn't get any points for touching the ball down over the line, instead doing so allowed your team to "try" to score by kicking the ball over the bar (basically a place kick field goal). These days you do get points for touching down and for a field field goal. The most common rule set internationally is Rugby Union, in which a try is 5 pts. If you score a try you can still try to "convert" it (a place kick field goal), the conversion is worth two points - like Canadian football, rugby football has open field kicks (you can kick the ball at any time), and drop kicking the ball over the bar (a drop goal) is worth three points. A field goal from a penalty (also a place kick) is worth 3 points.

[@louisscott6214]

Hey guys, enjoying your videos. Real funny. Worth noting that in rugby there are very few set plays, this is because the game goes through phases and the players react to what unfolds Infront of them. Worth checking out the basics on YT so you get a better idea of what's happening! It's an awesome game with so many elements to it

[@Ghoulza]

so in american football when you score it's called a touch down but you don't have to touch the ball down. rugby it's called a try but you have to touch the ball down. it's called a try because "The term "try" comes from "try at goal", signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal."

[@tauruswirihana1289]

in rugby there are 20-25 players on each team 15 are selected for each team to play the first or second half. TRIES: to get a try in rugby you much cross the line as the ball carrier and much place the ball down where every you wish but where you place the ball thats where you must get the conversion from so the conversion is when you score and you take a couple meter back then try your best to kick it over the post a try is worth 5 but a converted try is worth 7 a penalty try awards the attacking team 7 points, and no conversion is attempted. The offending player must be temporarily suspended or sent off. In rugby league, an 8-point try is awarded if the defending team commits an act of foul play as the ball is being grounded. you can kick the ball when every you want or when your team has a game plan. STRAIGHT OUT OF AOTEAROA/NEW ZEALAND

[@fullcream3724]

It's played exactly like this in school

[@brians2869]

Also dope that you have to hold that extra quarter-second, to then pitch it off and take all the pain

[@kolerick]

try = grounding the ball in the end zone hand pass = only to the rear can kick forward but only kicker and teammates that were behind him or overtaken by him can catch the ball defensive team can only tackle the ball carrier if you get the occasion, try watching the full matches of this year 6 nations... this was a great vintage and really worth it to "learn" about rugby. And if you want to learn in more depth about the technical of the games (tactics and how the plays were constructed), go and watch squidge rugby

[@kimdesmond3302]

The kick he recovered for himself is called a chip and chase they do this because you can't pass forward in rugby, they also play up high kicks called up and unders and spiral bombs , you can also kick a drop goal for 3 0oints a try is worth 5 and the kick conversion after a try is worth a further 2 points making a try and conversion worth a possible 7 point score 👍

[@syntaxxerrorr4673]

The player hasn't scored a Try until the ball has been firmly grounded in the "End zone" which is why the players tend to fall forward or slide because if you try to place the ball on the ground and get tackled in the process you will probably drop the ball

[@vittorioproli2903]

you can kick fwd and run for the ball, during the run no one can hit you till u catch the ball. Some of your team mates can get the ball as well but their run needs to start from BEHIND you. Not forwaerd the kicker. Cheers from Italy

[@Dgcgtff]

Called try because it used to count 3 points - conversion (field goal) must be taken in line with where the try was scored, so not always a straight kick, hope this helps. Try is 5 points conversion is 2 extra

[@dazzanomas9418]

Not sure if you have noticed guys but the ball is always thrown backwards, it's illegal to throw it in front of you. You can kick it forward but not throw it and the ball has to touch down in the players hands for it to be a try and thats why they always try and dive with the ball.

[@OriginalVenomZA]

The reason why they dive for the line, is cause a try needs to be scored by placing downwards pressure on the ball, behind the goal line, within the game of play. Sometimes the quickest way down is a dive.

[@Resonate19]

It's only a try when you ground the ball. The extra points are scored from an uncontested field goal that is directly in line with the spot where you put the ball down. That is why the action continues in the "end zone " because you want to be as straight into the goal as possible.

[@BLew657]

"He's strong". He sure was. The legend Jonah Lomu

[@michaellongyear4450]

You gotta do rugby’s greatest chase downs. Some unreal speed

[@Sonikgav]

Its called a Try because back when the game first started (and adapted from Soccer), you only scored points for Kicks at Goal and touching the ball down in the end zone gave you a "Try at Goal". Imagine the NFL if they played the game the way they do now, but Touchdowns didn't actually give any points.

[@MaikaIDB]

If you guys want to see some speed watch the "Epic foot race" series by Rugby Beast 🔥

[@allainangcao28]

Everything is basically laterals and you can kick the ball and get it back as long as you or a teammate can grab it before your opponent and the play is always live until the ball is trapped underneath a pile of people after a tackle. Everything is basically a 1st and Goal, score or give the opponent possession.
