Wow ! Nice video ! But how big is the USA community ? Not that much it seems. By the way, if you want to defend USA in the rugby field, you may start online ! It may raise interest about rugby in the USA. There are about 60 managers from the USA on an excellent rugby manager game called RugbyMania and the USA's national team ranks 11th out of 32, come on to fight for your country ! ;)
I think Rugby not being popular in the States shows that they don't dislike Soccer because it's non-contact but because they hate sports they can get hammered at by other countries,that's why they only play team sports between each other.If they were that concerned with being 'manly' surely Rugby would take priority over NFL,Basketball and Baseball.
@DustyAndPistolPete Thats just a bunch of made up crap, dude. Rugby and soccer are just not popular here simply because they just are not popular. We like our sports and seems the rest of the world hates the fact that we went another direction in what we play and make stuff up like you just did to put us down. Manly? Boxing is popular in the u.s and now its being taken over by mma, and whats more manly then that? But we have both rugby and soccer teams so we still play.
@91gt306 I was talking about team sports.Maybe I was a bit harsh...but I do think that Americans would be more interested in them if they were competing better at them internationally.
@DustyAndPistolPete Ok, I apologize for my harsh comment. You are right its very possible that the U.S would embrace rugby more if we had a little more success, unfortunately kids are more prone to want to become the next nba,nfl or mlb star.
I think rugby will pick up again in the states,,, our version of football evolved from it and replaced it, Two very different games, The athletes are the same with the exception that Rugby is more cardio. as far as athletes cross over from one sport to another the only exception would be that NFL linemen do not have the cardio to play any position in Rugby. t
That being said the Average Rubgy Forward would get smashed trying to do an NFL lineman's job. Lineman are 280-325 pounds ,
For God's sakes. America definitely has the tools to create amazing rugby players. I'm an Australian and I was impressed with the Eagles performance.
One small question. And you guys please create some sort of competition with Canada and Argentina. It doesn't make sense for Argentina to have to travel half way across the world for test matches. The time zones aren't as different. Plus with you all get more exposure to test rugby. Could be the Americas Tri-Nations.
@capowable it will just take a while for rugby to hit the mainstream stage. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, track, swimming, wrestling, tennis, hell squash is more known to most americans than rugby. Whenever i meet people and they find out i play rugby I have to explain to them what it is. It'll take years but hopefully some day it will become a common enough thing - hopefully big enough to do a western hemisphere version of the trinations
One day we can win against the All Blacks? Get in line USA! that means you would have to beat South Africa and OZ first! There wouldn't be much left after those 2 i tell ya!
@rugbygirl34 Yes you are so right, and i dont mean it like "we're the best team you can't beat us eva cause we're the best" i mean like we have worked our way up for 120 years so they have a long way to go, and sorry we are the best team, World Champions! (finally)
I'm from New Zealand, and i'm pretty sure that if the USA were as obsessed about rugby as they are American Football, that they would absolutely obliterate the rest of the world at it. The NFL consist of some of the best athletes in the world, and with a bit of technique, they could be great at Union.
@BrookTank i think "obliterate the rest of the world" is a bit of a far stretched statement mate, in other words your saying anything the yanks become obsessed with they will win at?
@BrookTank If those NFL powerhouses tried to last 80 minutes of intense rugby they'd die (literally). Even if those american's got their fitness levels similar to that of international rugby players, their strength levels would also go down by some margin.
A game of rugby is not won by the team that collectively has the best bench press figures..
Did the Promo just say that they plan to beat the All Blacks??? HAHAHAHA! Maybe in the next 10 years and when they recruit from New Zealand and the Islands for players then MAYBE they can put up a fight, but til then, there is no way they will last against the AB's.
@NobleTwoSeven Americans like to bring up how they saved Europe, Europeans like to bring up how the Americans didn't do a thing until the end when it was Britain and France who did all the fighting and Russia who won the war.
Also, if it wasn't for Europe, specifically France, there would be no America to begin with :).
I would love to see rugby become popular in America. They have the potential to do so much for the sport. If you look at the amount of effort invested in America's National sports, both on promotion and player development, if this was directed at rugby, both globally and nationally they could bring a huge amount to what is already a great sport. Oh, and to Haters on both sides of the NFL v Rugby argument, just grow up. Do you seriously think players of either sport sit and bitch about the other
Rofl I'd love to see an nfl all star like Adrian Peterson or Patrick Wilson crush in the world cup... But sadly they don't give a fuck about rugby. IF the U.S. cared about rugby or soccer at all theyd dominate. Read up on some stats before you speak
@Michaelslash09 Yes. Notwithstanding the fact that rugby isn't the main sport in the US, it's funny that a nation of nearly 300,000,000 gets whipped by a nation of 6,000,000.
@kcirdrab Clearly, you have never played American football. As I have seen many a conscusions, broken bones, and other gruesome hits. We don't grow up playing rugby like ya'll do, so it'd be stupid to think that we would have the same playing ability. It is quickly becoming more and more popular in the states. So when we grow up playing like ya'll do, then we will see who is dominating who...
@BodybuildinginTX ... well, u know what they say about us English public school boys : D
In this situation tho it was meant in a chummy way ... not a "come & get some of this" way .... along with Rugby 1 day you colonials might get the hang of conversational nuances too
@kcirdrab Actually i have no idea what they say about yall, but alright. Colonials? Are yall really still bitter we wiped the flooor with yall all those years ago? In America guys don't wink at other guys... well not in Texas, maybe California or New York...
@BodybuildinginTX Well, I don't think we're that chuffed about being stabbed in the back while we were fighting a war with France
As for floor wiping, check a good book on the revolution, Team Red did most of the wiping whilst the revolutionaries did the flooring (& then terrorized into submission large numbers of their neighbours who disagreed with them via the services of people like "Judge" Lynch).
I'm not from Texas, maybe u could learn something from England/NY/Cali, like a sense of humour
@kcirdrab Ya'll most certainly were not currently fighting the French when the war broke out. The French aided us, primarily in the naval side of the war. We had no trained army at the time, only a vague militia. We actually lost about a third less men than yall did, but if you don't call that a substantial difference, check these numbers out. American population a little over 2,000,000. Population of London alone at the time was over one million. We literally did not have a navy and still won.
If rugby becomes huge in the US with massive sponsors etc, I really do think that they could become a challenge for the WC. Alot of people will do anything for money and NZ can't really compete with that. *shrugs.
Great vid! Soo true. Except USA will never ever be able to beat the All Blacks. LOL.
Rugby is way better than any other sport. Tried to watch your American Football but good god is it long and boring. Rugby is very fast pace and exciting :) Go the ALL BLACKS (RWC 2011).
@ac35ta23 I agree. Coming from the US I would say the NFL is not what you call non stop. Only in North America is where it's at its peak in popularity, but I for one think its nothing compared to Rugby. As for the Eagles Vs. the All Blacks, however...well dude, you never know..LOL. Great country NZ is though.
i would love to see the usa get into rugby like we do in nz. only problem is it seems to be a sport for the rich just like in england, so the real natural talent in the high schools wont get a chance to try the best game on earth. can you imagine guys like the shaq playing? hell! i would love to go to compton high and start a team. rugby league too
Th eonly usa game worth watching is basket ball.. Nfl copied rugby. Baseball copied cricket. Nascar is a dumb reinactment of f1 and dont get me started with pro wrestling......
@jkurtweaver He was NOT a "Rugby" coach. He was a Physical Education INSTRUCTOR. Look up the games history and the man himself. I dont knnow where you got that nonsense from.
@MrBaddestofthebad maybe - depending on the player, I Personally find Cricket harder than baseball. Cuz baseball is pretty Easy ( the ball doesnt Spin on the ground and Change direction ) so ya its an OPINION
@joshebizonline pro wrestling isnt a real sport. Look up college wrestling, a video like metcalf vs caldwell. i got no beef with rugby but dont bag on american sports
@joshebizonline Lol sounds like something you and your buddies came up with when trying to keep from feeling inadequate. Sorry, americans aren't a bunch of followers.
I guess it is a tough order to promote Rugby in the U.S when the top 5 team sporting bodies the NFL,NBA,NHL,MLB, and MLS take to cream of the sporting talent. which leave the rest to consider different sporting codes.To my understanding Rugby is only played in the top end private schools alot like the U.K used to be.but it is great to see alot of local clubs starting to form and compete in states around the U.S. The Rugby W Cup is the 3rd largest sporting event only to Fifa WC and Olympics.
@MrDnile actually the assumption of only the high end private schools in the US playing Rugby is false. Most of these schools are the American Football powerhouses. These schools want nothing to do with Rugby because it would steal football players away because it is way more fun, as it did to me and the football coaches were not very happy.. Most high school rugby teams do not have any affiliation with the school. US has tons of Mens and College teams, but a very small high school age group
@tomahawking Thanks for you insight and thoughts about this. Interesting what you said about that' most Highschools rugby teams have no affilation with the school', which is a real shame, Im from New Zealand and a large core of the Rugby talent here comes from High School 1st XV a high profile team within the school system. From here it leads onto Club and Rep Honors. Funny a Nation like NZ of just over 4 million can produce a strong base of talented players..
Awesome Promotional Rugby Video ....Good luck USA in the Rugby World Cup.....The All Blacks will win the 2011 Rugby World Cup........Go the Mighty All Blacks
I'm Irish and I would love to see the USA take rugby into their hearts , it would be great for the sport and America . Our ex coach eddie o Sullivan is now coaching USA . He's a fine coach and a good man . I hope the USA do well in the upcoming world cup , but not too well , we re playing them ha ha
@devoymoe i play rugby at my college here in the us and its a great sport. i love it....but luckily it is slowly becoming more popular here....so in the next 20 years or so you will see a huge change
I think what the video is doing by showing the other countries is saying: hey look at these bad ass rugby countries! look what they are doing.. if we pull our head out of our ass we can play this sport because we have the ingredients to be the best: diversity, speed, skill..etc we just have it all spread out among different sports if we can combine everything we would be the best.. which is true just takes time.. this is like a rugby 101 recruitment add for the us
Wel I gues it's good to see the game promoted in the USA but as if they cld take on the allblacks we are hundreds of years ahead and the best in the world it's like saying newzealand could beat USA in grid iron haha no chance bud go the mighty allblacks this year is our year to shine
@in4mis1234 It is beyond imagination almost that New Zealand could ever beat USA at Grid Iron, no mater what effort they put into it. However, were the americans to make a go of it, it wouldnt be suprising if they became good before too long.
@murphman300 .......sure as an American football player and rugby player. I won't admit rugby is better but I definitely prefer football due to the velocity and collisions. However, to say which sport is better is entirely subjective.
Hahahahaha USA eagals how about stop making gay fucking names for your teams like minisota magets wtf USA will never make it they dont have what it takes the british empior has been playing it for 300 years dont think you can just start now lol
well done lads. good see USA is getting more into the rugby these days. im from wales and moving to california for a while. hoping to join a club over there and enjoy mixing it up with the local lads. Cymru am Byth - cmon wales 2011!!!!
@datKidwilliaM you have to put the ball on the ground over the line so people slide as it reduces the chances of getting tackled, however you can walk over it and put it down (not like in NFL where they like throw it lol)
@Torontoswimming either or, itd still make the US more recognized to the world in the game of rugby. Pretty awesome though how since the last RWC how much rugby has grown in the USA. Cant wait to watch the games this summer.
Rugby is a unit. Move as one. This game personifies true American grit better than their American Football does. Its a culture rivaled by no other, if you're a rugby player anywhere on Gods green earth, then you are family, belive that!
@hopoi yer but theres only like 4 really good teams England, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa the rest are a bit too inconsistent or no where near as good tbh
@mr9396 Even with the all blacks in mind, If you've ever seen Jerome Bettis, Ray Lewis, Julius Peppers, Troy Polamalu, or better yet William "Refrigerator" Perry, I doubt you would be saying that sincerely.
Americas rugby is growing just wait, a few years ago ive never heard about it, now im playin and going to compete in the college tournament in vegas, big schools are givin sholars out now, just give it time and we will be there.
First things first!!.....American needs a pan american game. Canada, mexico, chile, uraguay, Argentina, Brazil, and any other american country who wants to play. That would be soooooo cool, 2 divisions. america canada and argentina of course would be with one other team with second division team playing for 1st division spots. Then you could have a north vs south game etc....think about it
I heard rugby is the fastest growing sport in the US - thats good to hear.Once they get good at the sport, i can imagine them having a similar playing style to New Zealand.
@TheNickNacker actually, basketball was invented in Canada. you guys did technicaly create American and Collegiate football, but those may be too close to Canadian Football for you to count.
@texashulligan it was invented by a canadian in Massachusetts because Naismith wanted an alternate sport when it was to cold to play rugby.... The usa was actually experiencing a growth in rugby in the early 1900s but the game was banned by Ivy league schools because of injury and a few cases death
@SUlax1017 american football was evolved not invented , and lacrosse was a NATIVE american sport , so unless the entire country of american is native american you didnt invent shit!
win my arse hahaha..lthough if they put as much money into rugby as they do nfl they probs would be the best in the world..im from sa and living in nz so i know rugby.o and i play and coached and im only 18
America boasts a hell of a lot! They'll never make it past the qualifiers, and to be honest they really should leave rugby to real men

I guess it is a tough order to promote Rugby in the U.S when the top 5 team sporting bodies the NFL,NBA,NHL,MLB, and MLS take to cream of the sporting talent. which leave the rest to consider different sporting codes.To my understanding Rugby is only played in the top end private schools alot like the U.K used to be.but it is great to see alot of local clubs starting to form and compete in states around the U.S. The Rugby W Cup is the 3rd largest sporting event only to Fifa WC and Olympics.
MrDnile 7 months ago
@MrDnile actually the assumption of only the high end private schools in the US playing Rugby is false. Most of these schools are the American Football powerhouses. These schools want nothing to do with Rugby because it would steal football players away because it is way more fun, as it did to me and the football coaches were not very happy.. Most high school rugby teams do not have any affiliation with the school. US has tons of Mens and College teams, but a very small high school age group
tomahawking 6 months ago
@tomahawking Thanks for you insight and thoughts about this. Interesting what you said about that' most Highschools rugby teams have no affilation with the school', which is a real shame, Im from New Zealand and a large core of the Rugby talent here comes from High School 1st XV a high profile team within the school system. From here it leads onto Club and Rep Honors. Funny a Nation like NZ of just over 4 million can produce a strong base of talented players..

I think what the video is doing by showing the other countries is saying: hey look at these bad ass rugby countries! look what they are doing.. if we pull our head out of our ass we can play this sport because we have the ingredients to be the best: diversity, speed, skill..etc we just have it all spread out among different sports if we can combine everything we would be the best.. which is true just takes time.. this is like a rugby 101 recruitment add for the us

@in4mis1234 It is beyond imagination almost that New Zealand could ever beat USA at Grid Iron, no mater what effort they put into it. However, were the americans to make a go of it, it wouldnt be suprising if they became good before too long.

datKidwilliaM 10 months ago
@datKidwilliaM you have to put the ball on the ground over the line so people slide as it reduces the chances of getting tackled, however you can walk over it and put it down (not like in NFL where they like throw it lol)

That would be soooooo cool, 2 divisions. america canada and argentina of course would be with one other team with second division team playing for 1st division spots. Then you could have a north vs south game etc....think about it
