Sensitive American Can't Handle Rugby - Worst Hits of All Time

[@GarryCollins-ec8yo]

I miss rugby. Played for years in the 80s and 90s.

[@nikkihayes5411]

I miss playing rugby too.......I think 🤕

[@GarryCollins-ec8yo]

@@nikkihayes5411 I'm 65. My pains tell me you may be right.

[@Stevegrass]

Some of the most common injuries in rugby union are fractured collarbones as well as concussions and knee/ankle injuries

[@HannibalLekta-qg2ip]

Lol....the look on your face on some of these hits is a crack up......great video, bro...respect from NZ

[@John-i8k9n]

I played rugby in school and for my county. Never had concousion just some dislocated bones and lots of bruises. I dislocated my shoulder twice in one game it was popped back in twice. I was very annoyed I couldn't lift a pint of beer for a week without feeling pain. Rugby doesn't stop once you are tackled you have to release the ball to a team mate or opposition player.

[@alphacrusis2632]

This is rugby league. Once you are tackled tackler holds you down until the referee says either 'release' or 'play the ball' then the tackler will let you get up. League is different to union in that in union you have to release the ball when you get tackled and a ruck usually forms around you in order to keep the play going. In league each time you get tackled that is like a down except that there are 6 tackles before a handover occurs. Union is more kinetic but league stops and starts and is more predictable. Union is more popular because of the pace of the game.

[@xtongan_clown2944]

With league after a tackle u get up and roll the ball there’s only 6 runs but with union you get on top to protect the ball and you basically play until u lose the ball then it’s hand over

[@joyfulzero853]

A play does end when someone is tackled in rugby. Up to the point I watched (3:55) it is all 13-a-side Rugby League, rather than the much more popular 15-a-side Rugby Union. I don't think I saw a single tackle that would be legsl in Rugby Union, or even in Rugby League nowadays. You would be better watching a how to play video and then progressing to match so you can see the flow of the game, the tactics and the skill elements. I would recommend the Rugby England introduction to rugby, and follow up with Rugby explained to Americans. The second is good but it doesn't cover all the set pieces.

[@charliesadv8493]

This is Rugby League, which is a bit different from the Rugby Union rugby which is played more internationally. RL is played by a lot of Aussies and NZ if I'm not mistaken. However, Aus also had their own national RU team, called Wallabies. Unlike football, the game doesn't stop when a player is tackled. It just continues

[@Reviresco2]

Broken bones, smashed teeth, deep bruises, whiplashes. Helluva game, more fierce than American football.

​@@tobeskiLegend. Bring Back Buck.

[@skuxxdox1384]

Then beers with the other team after the game 😂

[@alexreid-wh9gq]

That was some Australian Rugby League. Watch some Rugby Union as well for hits. The big difference between the Codes is that in Union unlike League, in Union you get guys stomping in on the tackle area to win the ball for their side. Loads of clips on YT, including entire matches. A couple are: England v New Zealand Rugby World Cup 1995; & Scotland v England 1990.

[@Cactus-Jack69]

There are TWO CODES OF RUGBY…….Rugby Union & Rugby League! Most of the action you watching is Rugby League!

[@Wharto84]

Which is only a good thing!

[@dododoodoodo5400]

It still hurts my soul when they call nrl rugby. Lol

[@wallywombat164]

Hahaha. We have ' A tackle of the year ' every game. 😅😅😅😅

[@Arti-iChi]

Mouth guards have technology now to detect the force in a head injury..shows if a player had experienced a high level of acceleration which could lead to a head injury...then this would prompt the player to be removed from field to have a HIA (Head Injury Assessment)

[@Avfc-m4w]

Started playing when I was 12 in school great game.

[@Sonikgav]

The tackling thing... Footbal = Down by Contact Rugby = Down WITH Contact. You can't just knock someone over. If they're not touched while on the floor they can get back up and keep going. You will also see players go in to attempt to slow the player down from getting back to his feet. Because play never stops, the faster a tackled player can get up, the more fluid the attack can roll. By slowing to down they give their defense time to get set.

[@irreverend_]

Rugby Union doesn't stop play after a tackle, there's usually a ruck. Rugby League stops very briefly and players move back 10 yards and the guy who got tackled passes it back under his foot to another member of his team. There's more to it than that, but that's the general gist

[@amandinevancoppenole2002]

in rugby, game does't stop for takles exept for faults

[@DolphinsFanInVA]

Played rugby in college. One of my teams broke his c4-c5 in a game against u of Miami, paralyzed from the neck down. But, having grown up playing American football and picking up rugby in college, much more emphasis was placed on proper tackling techniques in rugby than in football. Also, football is about every inch, rugby isn’t so there is no real incentive to try and hit straight up all the time.

[@zohan4394]

React to Danie Gerber one of the all time best Centers in the world. He use to play for South Africa current and 4 time world Champs Rugby Union

[@terryoconnor5262]

Love rugby

[@theophilussogoromo3000]

There are two codes of rugby: union and league. You're reacting to rugby league. There are more high speed collisions in league than in union. Union is more popular of the two though. P.S. in rugby league the tackler has to pin the ball carrier like they do in wrestling to complete the tackle-that's why they jump on the tackled player-otherwise the ball carrier can just get up and still play on.

[@Covaids]

Mate back in the 70's and 80's guys were literally having their heads off but the fights were something else.

[@kieranobrien7342]

The play doesn't stop on a tackle, you definitely should watch a rugby union game South Africa New Zealand Ireland France England

[@WilliamOCarroll-z9q]

In rugby union or rugby league the tackle isn't over if you hit someone you have to physically hold them for the tackle to be complete or the ball carrier can just get up and carry on goi

[@KevinDunford-h6q]

Remember there are two rugby games. FIRSTLY Rugby Union (known as Union) and Secongly Rugby a league (known as league or NRL). The games have different rules . YOU ARE watching Rugby League on this clip.

[@jackvicary2919]

Not til the ref called the tackle it’s still live

[@forget_me_not_xd]

You should 100% react to the most feared team in the world, springboks. Video is by Die Hard Rugby

[@HaveMonkeyWillDance]

League makes no sense to me, but it's tough as hell. That's for sure.

[@tobeski]

If you want to see huge poetry in motion then look up some footage of the late great Jonah Lomu. Huge man, very very fast. As Will Carling, the former England rugby captain said "The thing about Jonah Lomu is that you see him on TV and you think 'Yeah, I can handle him'. And then you meet him in person and think 'No. No I can't'"

[@frenchnomaamer1909]

Most of these tackles are now prohibited to preserve the health of the players. It' s a good time to get interested in rugby because there is a phenomenon like we' ve never seen before and he' s French. Have you heard of Antoine Dupont ? This year he is " just " French Champion 🛡, European Champion 🏆 and Olympic Champion🥇 in rugby 7.🏉 ;)

[@shazzzabanazz4789]

Yep my fella plays rugby broke his jaw and nose and kept playing

[@johngamba4823]

This is rugby league. It’s rugby for people who can’t tackle

[@DaveBartlett]

Though in the old 'cross-code' fixtures, the Rugby League representative team beat the Rugby Union representative team AT BOTH CODES nearly every year! It would seem that if Rugby League is for people who can't tackle, then Rugby Union is for people who aren't really any good at rugby.

[@supmikey123]

The difference with american football and rugby is the way the attacking players run and also the defenders. Its encouraged to use your head in american football whether you're the attacker or defender. We don't use our head in Rugby or Rugby union. Although head knocks do happen, as it is a full contact sport. We dont use our head to attack or defend. We are tilting our heads to the side of the tackle. In American Football you are using your head to push in offence or defence, which is why you see far more concussions and CTE issues than in rugby and rugby league.

[@anthonymakiha7523]

Trust bro, u need to watch 100 biggest nrl/league hits ever. It’s the best hits vid there is

[@phantomofficial870]

They get on top of the ball carrier to try and steal or intercept the ball from the opposition

[@andrewwarren3566]

You must watch the till I collapse video by die hard rugby this is still mild.

[@clemrota-tawha9011]

And most of them still hold the ball after hit lol ❤🎉😂

[@michaelwebster8389]

I think they're getting on them to try and get them to drop the ball.

[@alexanderjermaineabrahams1615]

there is a video on the rules of Rugby you would like and than theres is obviously the Most Feared team in the world video

[@petethetruckie]

The only unsurprising thing about this is that yet again an American can't grasp the difference between rugby league and rugby union. It's kinda like explaining the difference between Austria and Australia.

[@oagengliebenberg9219]

Play doesn’t stop after a player is tackled and the reason they pin them down is to try to steal the ball

[@jonathanhodgson2142]

Because unlike American Football the game does not stop just because the ball is on the ground, you play on.

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

They jump on the player because the tackle is not complete till the ref signals that That man on the ground - if he can can get up and continue the play Generally if the ball carrying arm is on the ground AND a tackling player has contact with you the tackle is complete Go Eels!

[@milesdust3465]

Check out Henry Tuilagi! hehehehe... 😀

[@danko-dankz8931]

Alot of the clips you watched are rugby league. rugby & rugby league are 2 different spots. but both dnt have pads

[@rudierasmus8162]

I think just watch a rugby rules explained for an american football fan, because these hardest hits vids many tackles are not legal In rugby union after a tackle the play continues, and there are no downs or limits to tackling, but rugby league is more like american football

[@Skizzores]

There are two different games/rules for Rugby. Rugby League and Rugby Union. The league version is similar to NFL in that tackles are limited in a drive (5th tackle similar to 4th down) but Union version is almost a complete free-for-all, it’s definitely a brutal game 🏉

[@steveg2024]

I played rugby union. It was phenomenal! One practice and I fell in love with the sport.

[@timothyjones4696]

You have probably noticed that the NFL has not caught on outside the USA, whereas Rugby is played all over the world, the USA even has a team. If Rugby players wore pads it would lose its popularity. And now we have the women's Rugby as well (they don't wear pads either). You Americans can keep your pads and the NFL we don't want them ...

[@furudanuki6835]

Football (Soccer) is 90 minutes of players pretending to be hurt. Rugby is 80 minutes of players pretending not to be. I played rugby in college (lock and sometimes prop) and have the bad knees and ankles to prove it!

[@cameronwenban3369]

Rugby league

[@zohan4394]

They don't have padding and also play 2 half of 40min nonstop with 10 min break. Most of the hits in this vidio is Rugby league witch is mutch more like American football, instead of 4 downs you have 5 takes befor turnover, Rugby Unions is a mutch more flowing game and you can contest the ball on the ground and you also have Scrums in Rugby Union.

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

This is rugby league the less popular form of rugby.Except for Australia where it is popular.

[@jasonwall5012]

Rugby League shit, Rugby Union is where its at.

[@stevewren1079]

Dear Lord in heaven. PLEASE PLEASE. it’s rugby LEAGUE.!!!! massive difference. I know we should rename the sport because the confusion is understandable but the dynamic of the two games is so far apart these days rugby league is THE contact game because these things happen all the time. Essentially, you have six downs or tackles to score a touchdown.

[@JaniSmit]

React to south Africa rugby team

[@DavidSamiuJosephsamiu-c3j]

If you go to New zealand everyone would know what it is even little kids

[@wallywombat164]

Once somebody is tackled, the ref doesn't blow his whistle to stop the game. Just get on with it.

[@paulforryan4253]

Why so many high tackles?

it's safer without padding. body to body how nature intended

This is probably one of the better videos explaining the rules of " Rugby League" (which you just watched). narrated by Russell Crowe. Might be easier to understand than Rugby Union because of similarities to NFL game play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHuzga2Ko7qNsJY

[@toddjames7]

You're watching rugby league not rugby and you've got to finish off the tackle.

[@SovrinWealth]

Rugby League - the rugby you want to watch is Rugby Union....

[@rudybrink7942]

not rugby in the beginning, rugby has scrums.. thats the diff....

[@GeckoMTGA]

You watched league... if you really want to watch monsters, you want to watch Union, Rugby league guys are tiny in comarison. What you want is to watch the Srpingboks and the All blacks...

[@yazeedcariem5684]

There are x2 Formats of Rugby this is Rugby-League (played predominantly by Australia & New Zealand) & then there's Rugby-Union which is more of an International-Game as it's more of a Global-Sport (there are also Club-Games & other formats).... Rugby-Union is the bigger Sport Globally!!!!

[@rittherugger160]

There are two types of rugby. Rugby League (this video seems to be all league) and Rugby Union. League is a spin off from Union. In the world it is a very minor player, played in only a handfull of countries. Union is played in over 120 countries. The major difference between the two is what happens after a tackle. In League, after a tackle there is no competition for the ball. A team gets an number of uncontested 'downs'. In Union possession of the ball is always contested.

[@shazzzabanazz4789]

Try being girlfriend pn the side line just watching bloodspray with every tackle

[@mondek5482]

You were watching a mix of Rugby Union and Rugby league. Two different forms of Rugby. Rugby union the ball is almost always live and kinetic sport so there is no break in play after a fair tackle.

[@SirZanZa]

Rugby Union the ball is always live. so you pin them down to stop them getting up and running with it again. most of this video you've watched seems to be English Rugby league which is more popular in Australia and Northern England. Union is more of a free for all and is the most popular rule set both types of rugga can be brutal though.

[@BrianGreene-rn9uz]

This is Rugby league of course, league is faster that rugby union. Americans would like league over union. Union is stop start, penalties all the time, f'en boring.

[@88Eoghan]

Counterargument: league is simplified compared to union. A lot of Americans like their football because of the strategy and tactics involved. Union has a much greater depth as it is more complex, so this will have that same appeal. Also, crucially, union is truly the sport for all shapes and sizes as it has a big variety of roles among the positions.

[@Arti-iChi]

Have to disagree.... League is boring because it takes out the physicality of what rugby is supposed to be....true rugby enthusiasts do not watch league...they know union is the truest and best form of rugby

[@chrisbrennan1017]

@@Arti-iChi Don't think it's fair to say it takes out the physicality, most League players are much more athletic than Union players just due to the speed , nature and continuity of the game (which I mean in no way as a criticism of Union players, they train to an elite level to suit the code they play, if they trained in League from youth level they would no doubt have that athleticism as well).

[@ROTAHUBMAZDATVNZ]

chur brother they hold them down for the count on waht number tackel .....so its only to hold them down to complete the tackel
