Rugby Positions Explained in 10 Minutes

[@Villafarrell]

Great job, if rugby wants to expand, these r the types of videos tht really help educate quickly

[@jukeseyable]

As an ex openside you missed some very important points, we are the only player on the pitch to whom the off side line doesnt apply. we also know more of the rules than any other player so that we can bend them to or if its a good day, past breaking points. we also have the job of handing the 9s their dummy when they have a toddlers type meltdown because their hair isnt quite perfict

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Haha, how could I forget those

[@glennfolau6959]

Well explained, I'm from NZ, and we still use the antiquated terms of 1st 5/8, and 2nd 5/8, and sometimes centre 3/4, although not often used these days. Our current number 10 is the mercurial Damian McKenzie , and Beauden Barrett has shifted to fullback. Not everyone is happy about it.

This is so helpful. I only understood 9, 11 and 14, I just knew what "forwards" are but noting about their roles in the scrum 🥲 I thought 10's were just there to kick till i saw that Ramos doesn't play 10 and then just gave up on tryna understand what the positions mean

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Glad it could help!

[@Dor150]

Great and very concise video!

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Natedawg38]

Perfect timing for the internationals next week

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Can’t wait for them to start!!

[@Anellll_S]

This is such a good explanation, thank you for the work you put in! The roles are nice and clear, with great examples.

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Thank you, I was a bit nervous about posting this because I wasn’t sure I’d explained it well enough.

[@cereal_chick2515]

Awesome! I've always struggled to think of how I would explain the flankers' and centres' jobs to a newbie, and now I can just direct them here! Thanks!

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Thank you, Great to hear! Honestly I was a bit nervous about whether I’d done a good job at explaining how the positions worked or not

[@benmiller483]

As a former 8 this is a great video. Perfect for those who like rugby but don’t quite get it.

[@chantalpieters5615]

This may be a dumb question but when a scrum is awarded on the opposite side of the field, does the 6 and 7 switch so the 6 remains on the blind side?

[@ConnorDoesRugby]

Not a dumb questions, yes they swap sides so that the 6 is always on the blind side

[@PcMExplode]

I think the number 8 should be called the wheel. Usually, at the back of the scrum, they are used like a wheel to keep the ballance of a scrum

[@gabe7194]

I’m an American Football player, and wear pads when we play. But it’s cool to see some of these guys not afraid to make contact in open space with no protection!

[@tsherwood2112]

Great video, but I have one critique. As someone who usually 10 or 15, I can say the kicking game is important. However, the hair game is even more important. Nothing brings shame to a fly half like rocking up on game day with a dodgy trim. It doesn't matter how good at kicking and passing you are. If I'm the coach, any back with a buzz cut might as well piss off, because they're not coming off the bench

Hello, I would like to add German audio to your video and then upload it to my KZbin channel. It will then serve as visual material for my grandchildren's rugby club in Germany. I would then indicate your channel as the original source under the video. I would be delighted if you would agree to the project. Kind regards, OPA 2.0

Less risky rugby? SA won the last 3 world cup matches with 1 point. Pollard only played those 3 games. Also how is losing rugby "Attractive Rugby"? Your bias in that comparison was clear

[@Faust_ZA]

Number 8 is calld 8th Man
