Rugby 101

Washington State University women's rugby team members explain the basics of the game. In the 2008-09 season, the Cougs took third in the nation for Division II women's rugby after going undefeated in league play and regionals. Read about their team and more about rugby in Washington State Magazine's Spring 2010 issue: wsm.wsu.edu/s/i...

Cheers from New Zealand. Women's rugby is massive in NZ. Great to see America playing with the same passion and community as we do. Look out AB's, American Eagles are coming.

Pro tip: DONT WEAR GODDAM JEANS TO A RUGBY PRACTICE.

[@johncannon7034]

That's what I was thinking

[@rasojuuu3860]

Yes😂

[@DieFlabbergast]

Jeans are compulsory in the USA, just like the hijab in Muslim countries. :)

[@argiberico]

it was for the video; they'd be on camera

[@aliyahvasquez3499]

I did once only because I forgot my uniform lol

[@TheRickacuna]

You ladies are awesome! Thanks for teaching me!

[@lowribrown8663]

@samantha George actually the forwards are the hard hitters and who get in the scrums and do most tackling and are the big guys and the backs are essentially the runners and smaller guys who get the ball down the pitch and are mainly the try scorers

[@vaughanwilliamson5401]

wrong there matey the backs do a lot of tackaling and they do get invoild in rucks and most are 6"2 plus

[@TimTheHermit]

So rad that WSU has women's rugby! 🏉 Go Cougs!

[@DiegoJordanA]

Great informational video!, I can only think they're wearing jeans , kinda like to promote the game? so that people can feel this is something you can play casually at your local park maybe without really planing it or without so much equipment as you need for AMerican Football (great plus) maybe?

[@GreezyN199a]

A knock-on is when you drop it forward, not pass it.

[@ElgrupoM-H]

it is not called knock on its called foward

[@maiinahhmayhem1269]

Brown Kreeper its also called knock on over here in nz we say knock on or knock forward

[@maiinahhmayhem1269]

[@DieFlabbergast]

It's called a "knock-on" (This is the term used in Britain, Australia, and South Africa. If you want to argue about it, argue with them. Good luck.)

[@rokopanga]

Guys (and gals?) when you pass the ball and it travels forward its called a forward pass. When a player receives the ball, either because it is passed to him/her OR received from a kick and the ball is dropped by the receiving player AND it travels forward THAT is called a knock on. In the same scenario but the ball travels back when dropped there is no foul and the game can continue.

[@lennongalla1412]

rokopanga Terms vary depending on your country. There’s no hard and fast term used.

[@theraveanimal]

Thankyou for taking the time to explain the game of rugby... overlooked by the likes of the arrogant nzrugby (who feel they own the game and will jump at any ch$nce, however detrimental to our planet.) Choose life.
