How to Play Rugby: Advanced : Advanced Rugby Pop Passing

[Vein109]

very advanced indeed. fucking noobs

[DamnColdBeans]

when i started playing rugby i didn't need technique..... i just popped the ball.......

[guy3535]

if you dont know how to pop a ball your a retard

[DaBigCheeseLuigi]

My retarded cousin could do this and she's 2. (She's not actually retarded but she runs into walls and stuff :P)

This should NOT be called advanced stuff!

[Rightleggedleftback]

@DaBigCheeseLuigi Oh come on! that's highly normal!!! My 2 year nephew? He eats soil. literally. He craws to our flower pot and eats it like brownies... ;p

[Samax13]

for all the people who think that americans suck at rugby, our best high school teams are incredible. Gonzaga tours Europe every year and sticks with some of the best teams their age in Europe. As soon as we make the pre-high school programs really popular, fifteen years from then we could easily make far into the World Cup. We have the athletes, better than most countries. We just lack the instincts and knowledge.

[12Jackman12]

@Samax13 i live by highland and united, the two best high school teams in the nation. neither of which would do well overseas at all. american rugby really isn't very good comparatively yet.

[Daniellewis08]

lol....just lol

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

lol that first pop was the worst pop i've ever seen

[benjishikari]

thats horrific....

[qpfc]

another point is that it should only really be forwards who use pop passes, they are quick and effective, as you are usually no further than a couple of metres away from your teamate. backs should only use it when they are playing against a tight defense who are all charging up simultaneiously. hope this helped, because i know that video doesn't. If you need any other rugby tips dont hesistate to send me a message

[qpfc]

or if you are holding it like they are in your finger tips- it can get simply punched out of your hands. The whole idea of a pop pass is to be Extremely quick ! no matter how you catch the ball you want to throw it immediatley so dont bother trying to ajust your grip. adjusting your grip on a ball looses time and momentum. also try flicking your wrists when you throw like your just shoveling the ball to the player beside you.

[qpfc]

i feel sorry for these two guys, the video is a waste of time- but my comment wont be if you guys need help passing.

First of all ignore everything you just saw in the video. you dont want to through it up like that, because in a competitive game the opposition can easily intercept the pass.

[RazerSharpToes]

Them 2 are fucked when it comes to playing properley

[mangamaddness187]

those are terrible passes. and wrong. no good passing like that in the wet the ball will slip

[Mightybooshswat]

Americans dont deserve to plat rugby they suck ass at it!

[jeffhardyjohncena54]

they call that advanced?

wow they make my little brother look good at the game

[BroomeBlocker3]

Yeah you think they would say when a good time to do a pop pass is, Grillaver's comment below is more informative than this entire clip. Should show how to draw the tackle and actually have the person running onto the pass, a pop pass should be popped up as you are hitting it at speed and should land on your chest. The pass should not be down around your knees like they are showing in this vid

[GolfQC]

pffff the americans suck ass at rugby.

[alwaysallblacks]

very true

[Esotrepid]

@GolfQC That's funny, because America has the most Olympic gold medals in rugby.

[DJSillzor]

@Esotrepid lol rugby isn't even in the olympics anymore though?

they have never been to far in the world cup.

p.s i'm not hating, i made that last comment on a different account when i was young thought i was mad and shit :)

[adriandzi]

@Esotrepid Thats funny, it is no longer an olympic sport. And the olympics never attracted the best players. Sports like rugby have year long competitions they would rather play at.

[grillaver]

you pop with your elbow high and your shoulder ready for contact . because the only time you need 2 pop is when off loading from a tackle

[stroketheboat]

@grillaver or when you're carrying out a scissors manoeuvre.

[RL13DF]

these videos should not be called advanced this is very very very very basic stuff.

[GolfQC]

lol agreed.

[stroketheboat]

@RL13DF they're American. Ergo sum: ANYTHING not to do with eating is considered quite advanced.

[12Jackman12]

@stroketheboat eating is advanced too. anything not to do with eating self prepared meals that aren't too hot is advanced.

[gwar13]

i started at 15 from school and i live in the us

[Ceremma]

League or Union?

[ninjamunky]

Most players in the US only start around 18 or so, I started first year of college. Some schools have high school (secondary school) teams also.

[tristanthorn]

omg i'm glad i aint the only one i've seen a few of these its utter bollocks its no supprise the yanks are shit at rugby and have to make up a simple imitation in american football, its like rugby without the skill and 100lbs on pads

[swissftb4real]

we suck at rugby cuz the only ones that usually play are the ones that suck in football...but its starting to get bigger over here slowly...i got my son playing u10's for the first time and i can see why we suck at the world cup level...competiton is just horrible...my son's team has all but one, 1st year players...but they're all good football players...and they are just dominating the teams that been together for 3 to 4 years...

[swissftb4real]

btw...it takes alot more skill to play football than rugby...actually you dont need much skill to play rugby...just speed, power and stamina...

[ilikecakemorethanu]

football just requires speed and power without the stamina. . .only about half the players on a football lineup even touch the ball more than once in a game

[gangsta078]

id like 2 c u play agenst any england player if you just had speed power and stamina not skill. it takes skill to actually win, if you cant handle a ball well or get through tackles using skill your fkd in rugby

[GolfQC]

hahaha you're a dickhead.

no skill my ass.

[swissftb4real]

yeah...im a dickhead that youre suckin on...beatch

[jclvscc]

yeah uh what?

almost every position is a skill position....not just anyone can play....

[mangamaddness187]

most of all you need a brain

[jumbo2200]
