Russell Crowe explains the rules and laws of rugby league | NRL - REACTION

The NRL just played their opening 2 game's in Las Vagas a couple of months ago at Raiders Allgiant stadium drawing a attendance of 41000. It was a massive hit & a lot of American sporting reactor channels have fallen in love with the game & have been constantly following it from then on. Multiple reactors have been dropping NRL videos daily & following it round by round by highlights or even game live streams. Needless to say these channels have developed a massive following from loyal NRL fan's around the world.

[@DavidGigg]

During a game they slot commercials in straight after points are scored. There is a short break while the kicker sets up for the conversion after a try. Also if there is an injury which stops play. Normally only one 30 second commercial can be fit in

[@Erizedd]

And the little banner commercials that pop up above the score occasionally.

[@djgrant8761]

When you say Rugby most people would think of Rugby Union this game you’re watching is Rugby League.

[@B-tr9kz]

Great game to watch, barely any ads and constant action and its over in two hours.

[@MrDee134]

Rugby League. The greatest game of all.

[@mattvaughan228]

Rugby league (NRL) is way more exciting, free flowing and easier to understand than Rugby (Rugby Union). Rugby League spawned from Rugby Union as a more working class people’s sport in England. The best Rugby League you can watch is in Australia (The NRL competition) and even better is the 3 game series every year between Australian States New South Wales vs Queensland which is called the State of Origin. This is the best and highest quality of Rugby League you will ever witness in the world.

[@Schiltzenberger]

Yeah, there aren't many ads. After a try they might throw in a 30 second ad. Half time is where they load up on ads, but the game itself is largely uninterrupted.

[@lynndally9160]

They have protection, they have mouth guards 😂. We breed 'em tough down here🇦🇺. Roosters to win 🐓❤️🤍💙🏆 Also, Russell Crowe is the owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, one of the NRL teams.

[@cjjoe2385]

Russel is also the Gladiator, from the move Gladiator

[@Rastusmishka12]

Great reaction mate! Rugby league is a much easier game for an NFL fan to understand than union when you're first starting. Now watch all the union fans come out of the wood work!! Lol!

[@williamhunt1643]

These are just the basic rules of the Rugby League and there are many more rules that are abit more complicated. Obstruction, escort, line drop out, scrum, etc. These basic rules should be able to let any new fans enjoy watching the game and learn the rest of the rules while watching the game itself. Every week I try to watch all the matches, gotta have everything ready before it starts. Once the game is on, there is not many ads/breaks..10 minutes break at halftime to use the toilet and back on the seat watching the rest of the match. It's awesome 👌

[@Jonwallachio]

There are two kinds of rugby, with different rules. One is called rugby league, that's what you're watching here. The other is called rugby union.

[@XiaoVeen]

It's a shame that Rugby Union and Rugby League, which are so different, are both called Rugby, it creates confusion, I myself thought there was only one kind of rugby.

[@NoEvidenceForGod]

Oh man it causes so much confusion. I also realised to Americans, "league" just makes it sound like a "league" filled with union teams all playing union. You'll say "nah this is rugby league, it's different" and they'll be like "oh it's a different league?" lol

[@summervincent7312]

@@NoEvidenceForGod It should have been called REBEL League 100 years ago. UNION is such a boring mess.

[@DRholmsey]

They should just call it Rugby 13s and 15s for the sake of ppl in the US

[@LuisNunes-ps4sl]

It's like soccer, all the commercials are at the 15 minute halftime. In Rugby Union, there's no limit to the tackles. If a team can keep possession, they can just keep adding more phases of play until they make it through or the other team can get the ball back.

[@a.jherbert5436]

They squeeze in 1 or 2 short commercials where they can between penalties, tries, and whatnot.

[@thedonfonz2481]

Near to no ads my brother! Only a 10-15min break between halves then back into another 40mins of footy! odd 30s ad if there is an injury - but that depends on what you're watching the game on. I stream it, so no ads until the half time break. But there are 2 (main) versions of rugby, which we call "Codes" Rugby League - more fast pace, 6 tackles before turn over, more similar to NFL and entertaining to a new viewer. Rugby Union - which is more globally played, no limit to "downs" - if a team could keep possession of the ball the whole game, they would. But the grit of the game is involved here, constant griding for possession AND territory. Can't tackle above the shoulders, so in that last video (til I collapse) has alot of tackles illegal then and tackles that would be deemed illegal today. Today, tacklers are expected to "wrap" when tackling to prevent "Shoulder" tackles which are devasting! lol - your commentary on the scenario if a friend asks you if you wanna watch some footy, was pretty spot on ! Keep up the content mate! watching all the way from New Zealand !

Just to let you know that the nrl signed a deal with the las Vegas gaming commission to bring the nrl to Vegas at the start of the nrl season on a six year deal this year was the first year.Ps forgot to mention they have 2 games each year of round 1 of the nrl in las Vegas

[@jughead4845]

5 year deal

[@matthewanstey5185]

Go enjoy

[@stevewren1079]

Thanks for posting. This sport is fabulous and it’s NOT rugby. It came from rugby 100 years or so ago as did NFL. It’s evolved into an amazingly dynamic sport. We probably should dump the name “rugby” as that sport rides on NRL’s coattails a lot and it causes a lot of confusion.

[@FredrickOa]

You should watch the NRL in Las Vegas next year in March again. They might be four or six teams including the women's rugby league team's coming to you guy's in L.A. So you might be lucky and have a fair idea about and impacts of it. It's just of the air. Take your family as well and go watch it's awesome 👍💪💪💯

[@gaston4403]

Those are the rules of rugby league, there is also rugby union which is the most widespread in the world, basically they change the points values ​​and some rules

[@HannibalLekta-qg2ip]

There's 4 more different teams coming over from the NRL plus two womens teams & two teams from the U.K.s Superleague in March 2025 to Vegas

You're first mistake was to call it 'Rugby'. That's a different game. This is Rugby League or as we call it here in Australia, NRL or just 'League'. The actual sport is Rugby League and is a different sport to 'Rugby' aka Rugby Union.
