I'm from the states. This reminds me of American football (NFL). Interesting stuff. I wouldn't mind playing this myself but people in the states don't know anything about rugby.
But when a team is driving the field, and they are tackled, the line of scrimmage or "offsides" line is formed. So then the team in possession can pick the ball up and continue driving the field. How does the defensive team ever confirm a stop, or gain possession of the ball again? Are there no downs? Any help is appreciated.
@WarriorPoetAg The main way the defensive side can gain possession of the ball is at the breakdown. When the attacking player is tackled, the defensive loosies will usually try to close in on that player (if they wern't the tacklers anyway) and sieze possession of the ball. The tackler has an immediate right to the ball immediatly after the tackle has been made but before a ruck is formed. It's quite a complicated setup and it takes a bit of knowledge of the rules to get a good understanding.
@WarriorPoetAg And no, there is no number of downs that a team must or must not play. The game continues until an instance occurs where the referee must stop play.
Keep in mind that this popular and mopst common code of rugby is called 'Rugby Union'
If you want to see a code whereby the game is played with limited downs, then check out 'Rugby League'
Oh man im trying to understand rugby but im an american and thats twenty years of football i grew up with, so rugby is waaaaaaaaaaay more confusing to understand but im getting there.
@19EHF Don't pull your hair out over it. Most people don't understand the very finer points in the rules of rugby (and these are long time rugby watchers I'm talking about)
As great as rugby is there are still so many rules involved with the game and what makes it worse is that every referee is different - so every game is different. In recent years the IRB have changed several rules whilst Southern Hemisphere boards tend to enforce their own ones so it's a real mish mash.
Im considering playing recreational rugby this spring. im 18 and ive had 4 years of football expereince. im 6'2 225lbs. Should I play? I dont really know the rules but I wanna play real bad.
OK stop talking shit on football after watching this it seems they are very similar. Obviously football has pads n rugby doesn't does it make football players pussies? No. It makes them not want to die... Rugby is fucking brutal and I want to play.
@SammyKTA There is also rugby Leauge .And then theres Sevens which is being played at the Olympics but is so different to Rugby Union i wouldn't even compare them.
@shinobi765765432 i know how u feel, im on swim team, i play lacross, and im thinking about rugby, but let the ignorant pethetic americans only focus on baseball and football.....
I'm from America and after seeing this I can say that football isn't shit compared to rugby. They play with basically no protection. I hate how my country is so close minded with sports.
I dont know the exact origin, but it was the foundation of Football. Notice how in order to score you must TOUCH the ball DOWN to the ground? Touchdown?
@mhulley7 but in football, the protective equipment allows for greater speed of impact. Plus, in football you have a designated person that fields the ball for each play...no passing it backwards in traffic...you take the full impact.
Why is football played in London, but no rugby in America? That should answer your question. However, I will say that rugby players are some tough boys no doubt!
Rugby is the gayest sport I have ever seen. Football=harder hits, more athletic players, and most importantly, more goes into football. Football is like a game of chess. Rugby is a grass fairy sport like soccer. Stupid europeans.
@GeeyFeeg Football has harder hits? You've got to be kidding. And soccer has just as much strategy in it as football, if not more. Get your facts straight before spewing bullshit, bitch.
"grubber" kicks are so exciting. I played in college and our best wing kicked it the length of half the field perfectly, picked it up, and scored. Was incredible.
I have played Canadian football since i was 8 until this year and volleyball in the off season, but this year i think i will play rugby instead of volleyball.
@packerfan748 you don't actually drop the ball onto the ground - with a grubber kick, it has to hit your foot first so when it next touches the ground it's off your foot, not your hand.
If you went to do a grubber (or any) kick, dropped it forward and it hit the ground first that would be a knock on and they would award a penalty
I love how even though your the one making the racist and sexist jokes. whenever someone calls you on it you direct it back at them and make them look like the racist one. Also this has nothing to do with rugby, you just changed the subject because a troll like you realized that you were wrong and Rugby came 200 years BEFORE American Football and is way more manly. Football is for boys, Soccer is for wussies, but RUGBY is for men. Something your obviously not.
@iwatchvids520 Not true at all. The pads aren't there to relieve pain, they're there to prevent serious injury. It hurts like shit to get hit with someone wearing pads. I would personally rather play American football without pads, it hurts less and people instictively dont hit as hard. Ever felt the surface of a football helment? Getting hit by one of those is like have a boulder chucked at you.
@zzyzx0788 you wouldn't play football without pads on your self so doesn't hurt as bad and exactly they dont hit hard because if you go flying in head first without a helmet you will break your neck
@iwatchvids520 Most American football is played without pads. In backyard games, pickup games, etc. Pads don't keep a hit from hurting at all. Many bones are broken through the pads and the helmet. And the comment on "you wouldn't go flying in like that without a helmet you will break your neck..." First off, we do fly in like that without pads. if you are tackling right there is absolutely no risk to you at all. Helmets don't protect the neck anyway, hell, they don't even protect the head. cont
@iwatchvids520 There is even a wrning stating that it doesn't protect the head from injury on the inside label of the helmet. Pads are merely a show for the women folk to shut em up while the boys are out playing in the field. It'd actually be safer to do away with the pads as they cause so many injuries themselves.
I liked the part where people started arguing about which was the gayest out of rugby, soccer, and American football. Personally, I think they're all fine sports.
@LakersbeatBoston Don't football players tackle in the same way? Don't they wear pads unlike rugby players? Doesn't football not require fat only strength-oriented players for their lines? Doesn't football only have about 3-4 offensive positions that need to be able to run with the ball while rugby has all 15 players? You should really reconsider your uneducated and biased comment. For the record, I am an American. I just happen to have the ability to think and know what really is manly.
You over estimate your ability to think, American Football has 7 postions mainly geared towards progressing the ball forward. Quaterback (1) Halfback (2) Fullback (3) Tight End (4) And 3 Different Receivers & sometimes 4 Depending on the type of play called.
Also American Football is a direct bite-off of rugby, But the day the Forward Lateral Pass was adopted by a man named Walter Camp it all changed. From your comment I can tell your someone who clearly doesn't know shit !!!
@TheSliver74 Yes, but at any given moment, there are actually only 6 positions designed specifically for progression (5 linemen). Also, I said that only 3-4 players need to be able to RUN with the ball, not that they CAN run with the ball. Quarterbacks can be good without running abilities because the only necessary skill is throwing. Tight ends (catching and blocking) and fullbacks (blocking) can be good without running abilities. That leaves only 3 players left that need to be able to run.
@TheSliver74 So you don't think that I know that American football is a bite-off of rugby? Everyone that enjoys both sports knows that! It's called the evolution of association football. Soccer went to Gaelic football. Gaelic football went to Aussie rules football. Aussie rules football went to rugby. Rugby went to American football. And if I clearly don't know shit about sports, explain to me why the forward pass was legalized. I know, but do you?
@QBRebel16 You are truly stupid & don't know shit... So go do yourself a favor & look up a man by the name Walter Camp, Quite the legend... Also the first person to ever score a touchdown w/ a forward pass. Which at the time was against the rules, The Coin flip prevailed & the touchdown counted. Then some years later it changed the game forever ... That is fact & not some made up retarded fiction like you wrote, So please continue your incoherent rambling, its becoming quite entertaining
@TheSliver74 What fiction did I write? I never made up any thing! And about the forward pass, it was started because of safety issues. The US President told football officials that the sport would be banned if not made safer. Well, the main option was to widen the field. Harvard, one of college's powerhouses at the time, wouldn't allow that because they had a permanent concrete field that couldn't allow a field width change. The result was the addition of the forward pass. It's called history.
@TheSliver74 P.S.- You might want to readdress your definition of stupid. I assure you that, when it comes to issues that matter (i.e.- science), you wouldn't stand a fucking chance. By the way, are you talking about THE Walter Camp? The one who coached football from 1888-1895? If you are, you clearly don't know shit about the forward pass. The forward pass was illegal in football up until 1906. Walter Camp had already retired as a football coach by then. Look it up.
@TheSliver74 Yeah, excuse me. I didn't notice the "first person to ever score a touchdown w/ a forward pass. Which at the time was against the rules, The Coin flip prevailed & the touchdown counted." However, that doesn't mean that he had any true influence on the forward pass. He wasn't part of the committee nor was his incident any special. It had happened many times later. I highly doubt that he was truly the first person to throw the ball forward. He was only the first person recorded.
@TheSliver74 Walter Camp was a legend, in coaching. He is in the College Football Hall of Fame, as a coach. He made innovations with the snap-back from center, the system of downs, the points system, the safety being worth 2 points, along with the introduction of the standard arrangement of offensive players. There is no record of Walter Camp influencing the decision to legalize the forward pass. In fact, it was a consensus decision by about 60 schools. Nothing more.
@TheSliver74 If anything, Camp only made the forward pass a more widely known illegal play due to his use of it in his career only once when playing against Princeton. He likely wasn't the first. Again, I bring back the original decision by the schools to legalize the forward pass. It was NOT the favored outcome. The forward pass was legalized only because of Harvard forcing football officials to figure out a way to stretch out the plays vertically, not horizontally.
@TheSliver74 To conclude my argument since I don't see anymore reason to address your existence, you have no more fucking right to call me "stupid" or to say that "I don't know shit." I clearly know more about the history of football than you ever will. So, get off your uneducated pedestal and leave the truly intellectual people alone. Your presence in this world is doing nothing but soiling the gene pool.
Fuck off. You're resulting comments will be ignored as the shit they truly are.
@QBRebel16 Believe in plagiarism ? You practically copied the wiki word for word about Camp.. Excuse you ? For what, being a total fucking degenerate who thinks 6 paragraphs of total plagiaristic bullshit equates to being intelligent !!! Seriously, Most of what you posted is word for word stolen from wiki pages and other people who posted here. Your concluded retarded argument is laughable... Your mom really should have swallowed, would have made a world of difference & one happy man.. lmfao
@Goethewrote Wow you really are an idiot. I am a huge fan of American football, and I will acknowledge that rugby came first. Where I believe Rugby MAY be more physically difficult I would not go as far as to say (A)Football is for boys where Rugby is for men. (A)football has its own side of finesse that Rugby does not. I think that (A)Football takes more skill. But anyone is more than welcome to disagree.
fuck this sport it's so damn complicated -_- but it looks like something i would love! i've been playing water polo for 7 years and it is a very physical sport and rugby would be just something amazing...only if i understood how to play it
My coach is a female and she plays just as a hard as any of the males, everyone who is talking smack, probably doesn't play rugby or hasn't played in club or anything like that
When girls play rugby, it's not pretty. Just because they're girls doesn't mean they can't play a brutal sport. They're actually tougher than those "big boys" who play football with their pussy-like pads and plastic helmets. I agree to girls' rugby, and I'm a male.
I played it for the first time in my life yesterday and im thinking about gettin into the college team! really tough shit!!! gotta learn all the rules tho
Honestly I don't see why people even compare Rugby with American Football in the first place.. The only thing that is simular is that you can run with the ball and you can hit the person with the ball. The style of movement, style of hitting even, is completely different. You can't compare the rules, and you can't compare techniques. I've played basic levels of both, and rugby is much more violent, and it doesn't stop every 10 seconds, which is why most people don't like American Football.
btw i play both football and rugby and in my opinion football hits do hurt more because the pads alow you to use them as a weapon and the pads are extremely hard and they creat a larger more powerfull collision on contact im not trying to create an argument just presenting my opinion and if you reply i wont get it until tuesday because i have an international rugny tour
@skull9111 That's true, the pads would disperse the impact instead of the impact of a rugby tackle that would focus it's energy in one area (Correct if wrong). So I guess it would hurt more depending on the person
@almario1402 that is true if you get hit where you have pads but the pads stop under your armpits and you have no pads under that and you often get hit there which means one person is hitting another person with rock hard plastic and the other person is getting hit where there is possibly no proctection people also seem to forget that in football you get hit almost every play you dont need to have the ball and a tackle in football is different it is more of an impact than in rugby because you
@almario1402 (continued) have a helmet which means you can place your head across the body in a tackle which means you can use a larger portion of your body resulting in more momentum being forced into the collision, dont get me wrong a rugby hit is still comparable its just different because of the rules and the ability you have with your body as apposed to someone with plastic weapons covering their body, rugby has more tackles per game but a football player generally gets hit more because
@almario1402 (continued 2) you do not need to have the ball to get hit and i know you get hit in the scrum and the ruck but its not the same thing because it is like a wrestleing match when in football you can run full speed and just collide with the guy, im not trying to diss rugby im just stating my opinion and trying to correct peoples false opinions and trying to level the playing field by getting people to think more than just saying one has pads and one does
I believe that rugby is a more physically demanding sport for the fact the once your on the ground everyone has to rape you to get the ball. And also you sexist assholes think your tough? It takes a real man to accept that everyone is equal and everyone has the same rights.
i play rugby and to be honest boys... rugby is rugby and football is football and i think we can all agree that soccer is the true gay enemy here haha
@Goethewrote women should be on their knees suckin dick? Ladies and gentleman, this user is GAY. Males who hate/disrespect women are always gay lmao.. See he's even talking about sucking dick too. Bitch, that's your daddy's job. Go pay back the favour and suck his dick in return. hahahahaha. SMD after that faggot.
You probably play football lmao.... why don't you go figure out a way to grab your opponent's nuts hiding behind all that padding. Pussieeeeeeeeeeeesss!
@15secondsfull Real men tell the bitch what to do, when to do it and how fast to do it. For example, Make me some food, fast. I want sauteed onions on it and 5 minutes ago was too late. You on the other hand were raised by an emasculated father who begged for the bitch to cook, clean and suck his dick. Hence, you are now carrying on in his tradition.
That is why, today, you win youtube's biggest ASSHOLE OF THE DAY AWARD. NOW FUCK OFF.
@Goethewrote It's alright, I get it.... You hate on women because they don't have penises. Don't keep whinin about women though, just go suck some dick. Daddy's waitin on ya. Hahahaha. gay boy
@Goethewrote If it weren't for women, you wouldn't be alive right now. If it weren't for women, your abusive, alcoholic father wouldn't have carried on his diseased genes to whom he passed to you and now you are a disgrace in today's society. We live in the 21st century. We've established that we all have the same rights. If you are still having trouble following that, kill yourself. How about you get up and build a fucking home for me please instead of sitting in your momma's basement lard ass.
rugby makes american football a pussy sport. ive played both and the pace and physicality of rugby is so much more demanding than football. try playing with no pads.
All u prople saying they think rugby is better than american football ur wrong rugby is more fun but it takes super skills to play football trust i played rugby and football
rugbys better than football. this is comin from someone whose room is decked out with football stuff. id like to see half the football players play rugby. youll getcha ass kicked. its like wrestling.
Rugby is the first intersex 'professional' sport in Europe. Strong athletic women and the average effeminate European male physique battle it out in mediocre competition across the continent.
I just watched my first rugby match. England vs. Scotland. I've gotta say, while I don't generally like sports and certainly don't like American Football, rugby is a sport I could watch. I especially like the pace of the game. Instead of stopping the clock everytime someone gets tackled they just keep playing! That's awesome! And of course, no shoulder pads.
@11cost1 actually in canada we have lots of teams and opportunities to play. Yes it is on tv but you have to have the chanels. Just like if you wanted to watch NHL or CFL or NFL. If you wanted to watch a match you would have to have the chanel.
This sport makes no sense to i was watchin this and the guy runs down the field kicks the ball and gets pounced on but rugby players are relatively small i guess that's why england calls us fat
@RealKoolKid1 Actually rugby players aren't small.. The smallest guy on a rugby team would be over 6foot. And if an American Football player played Rugby they wouldn't be able to continue after 10 minutes because their great bulging muscles slow them down, and it's harder for them to run. And remember when you watch this that this is a video game.. Sure you can kick the ball then get tackled, because they'll usually go for the tackle as you kick it to try and block the ball.
@Goethewrote Rugby was brought from England to the US but was deemed dangerous so they created American football, which went pro faster than the Rugby Union did, and that's why many people think Rugby came after American football. Next time, do your homework.
I'm from the states. This reminds me of American football (NFL). Interesting stuff. I wouldn't mind playing this myself but people in the states don't know anything about rugby.

So, let me compare this to American football.
In the early days of the NFL, forward passes were illegal.
A scoring play plus the extra kick is worth seven points combined.
The scrum appears to be the ancestor of the linemen in football.
There are actually two types of rugby, as there are in football.
The three point kick is also in football.
Punting is used in football only to gain position.
The rugby pass is known as a lateral in football.
This indicates that rugby is a cousin to football.

@iwatchvids520 Not true at all. The pads aren't there to relieve pain, they're there to prevent serious injury. It hurts like shit to get hit with someone wearing pads. I would personally rather play American football without pads, it hurts less and people instictively dont hit as hard. Ever felt the surface of a football helment? Getting hit by one of those is like have a boulder chucked at you.

@zzyzx0788 you wouldn't play football without pads on your self so doesn't hurt as bad and exactly they dont hit hard because if you go flying in head first without a helmet you will break your neck
iwatchvids520 3 months ago
@iwatchvids520 Most American football is played without pads. In backyard games, pickup games, etc. Pads don't keep a hit from hurting at all. Many bones are broken through the pads and the helmet. And the comment on "you wouldn't go flying in like that without a helmet you will break your neck..." First off, we do fly in like that without pads. if you are tackling right there is absolutely no risk to you at all. Helmets don't protect the neck anyway, hell, they don't even protect the head. cont

@iwatchvids520 There is even a wrning stating that it doesn't protect the head from injury on the inside label of the helmet. Pads are merely a show for the women folk to shut em up while the boys are out playing in the field. It'd actually be safer to do away with the pads as they cause so many injuries themselves.

@LakersbeatBoston Don't football players tackle in the same way? Don't they wear pads unlike rugby players? Doesn't football not require fat only strength-oriented players for their lines? Doesn't football only have about 3-4 offensive positions that need to be able to run with the ball while rugby has all 15 players? You should really reconsider your uneducated and biased comment. For the record, I am an American. I just happen to have the ability to think and know what really is manly.

@QBRebel16
You over estimate your ability to think, American Football has 7 postions mainly geared towards progressing the ball forward. Quaterback (1) Halfback (2) Fullback (3) Tight End (4) And 3 Different Receivers & sometimes 4 Depending on the type of play called.
Also American Football is a direct bite-off of rugby, But the day the Forward Lateral Pass was adopted by a man named Walter Camp it all changed. From your comment I can tell your someone who clearly doesn't know shit !!!
TheSliver74 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 Yes, but at any given moment, there are actually only 6 positions designed specifically for progression (5 linemen). Also, I said that only 3-4 players need to be able to RUN with the ball, not that they CAN run with the ball. Quarterbacks can be good without running abilities because the only necessary skill is throwing. Tight ends (catching and blocking) and fullbacks (blocking) can be good without running abilities. That leaves only 3 players left that need to be able to run.

@TheSliver74 So you don't think that I know that American football is a bite-off of rugby? Everyone that enjoys both sports knows that! It's called the evolution of association football. Soccer went to Gaelic football. Gaelic football went to Aussie rules football. Aussie rules football went to rugby. Rugby went to American football. And if I clearly don't know shit about sports, explain to me why the forward pass was legalized. I know, but do you?
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@QBRebel16 You are truly stupid & don't know shit... So go do yourself a favor & look up a man by the name Walter Camp, Quite the legend... Also the first person to ever score a touchdown w/ a forward pass. Which at the time was against the rules, The Coin flip prevailed & the touchdown counted. Then some years later it changed the game forever ... That is fact & not some made up retarded fiction like you wrote, So please continue your incoherent rambling, its becoming quite entertaining
TheSliver74 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 What fiction did I write? I never made up any thing! And about the forward pass, it was started because of safety issues. The US President told football officials that the sport would be banned if not made safer. Well, the main option was to widen the field. Harvard, one of college's powerhouses at the time, wouldn't allow that because they had a permanent concrete field that couldn't allow a field width change. The result was the addition of the forward pass. It's called history.
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 P.S.- You might want to readdress your definition of stupid. I assure you that, when it comes to issues that matter (i.e.- science), you wouldn't stand a fucking chance. By the way, are you talking about THE Walter Camp? The one who coached football from 1888-1895? If you are, you clearly don't know shit about the forward pass. The forward pass was illegal in football up until 1906. Walter Camp had already retired as a football coach by then. Look it up.
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 Yeah, excuse me. I didn't notice the "first person to ever score a touchdown w/ a forward pass. Which at the time was against the rules, The Coin flip prevailed & the touchdown counted." However, that doesn't mean that he had any true influence on the forward pass. He wasn't part of the committee nor was his incident any special. It had happened many times later. I highly doubt that he was truly the first person to throw the ball forward. He was only the first person recorded.
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 Walter Camp was a legend, in coaching. He is in the College Football Hall of Fame, as a coach. He made innovations with the snap-back from center, the system of downs, the points system, the safety being worth 2 points, along with the introduction of the standard arrangement of offensive players. There is no record of Walter Camp influencing the decision to legalize the forward pass. In fact, it was a consensus decision by about 60 schools. Nothing more.
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 If anything, Camp only made the forward pass a more widely known illegal play due to his use of it in his career only once when playing against Princeton. He likely wasn't the first. Again, I bring back the original decision by the schools to legalize the forward pass. It was NOT the favored outcome. The forward pass was legalized only because of Harvard forcing football officials to figure out a way to stretch out the plays vertically, not horizontally.
QBRebel16 5 months ago
@TheSliver74 To conclude my argument since I don't see anymore reason to address your existence, you have no more fucking right to call me "stupid" or to say that "I don't know shit." I clearly know more about the history of football than you ever will. So, get off your uneducated pedestal and leave the truly intellectual people alone. Your presence in this world is doing nothing but soiling the gene pool.

Honestly I don't see why people even compare Rugby with American Football in the first place.. The only thing that is simular is that you can run with the ball and you can hit the person with the ball. The style of movement, style of hitting even, is completely different. You can't compare the rules, and you can't compare techniques. I've played basic levels of both, and rugby is much more violent, and it doesn't stop every 10 seconds, which is why most people don't like American Football.

btw i play both football and rugby and in my opinion football hits do hurt more because the pads alow you to use them as a weapon and the pads are extremely hard and they creat a larger more powerfull collision on contact im not trying to create an argument just presenting my opinion and if you reply i wont get it until tuesday because i have an international rugny tour
skull9111 9 months ago
@skull9111 That's true, the pads would disperse the impact instead of the impact of a rugby tackle that would focus it's energy in one area (Correct if wrong). So I guess it would hurt more depending on the person
almario1402 9 months ago
@almario1402 that is true if you get hit where you have pads but the pads stop under your armpits and you have no pads under that and you often get hit there which means one person is hitting another person with rock hard plastic and the other person is getting hit where there is possibly no proctection people also seem to forget that in football you get hit almost every play you dont need to have the ball and a tackle in football is different it is more of an impact than in rugby because you
skull9111 9 months ago
@almario1402 (continued) have a helmet which means you can place your head across the body in a tackle which means you can use a larger portion of your body resulting in more momentum being forced into the collision, dont get me wrong a rugby hit is still comparable its just different because of the rules and the ability you have with your body as apposed to someone with plastic weapons covering their body, rugby has more tackles per game but a football player generally gets hit more because
skull9111 9 months ago
@almario1402 (continued 2) you do not need to have the ball to get hit and i know you get hit in the scrum and the ruck but its not the same thing because it is like a wrestleing match when in football you can run full speed and just collide with the guy, im not trying to diss rugby im just stating my opinion and trying to correct peoples false opinions and trying to level the playing field by getting people to think more than just saying one has pads and one does

@RealKoolKid1 Actually rugby players aren't small.. The smallest guy on a rugby team would be over 6foot. And if an American Football player played Rugby they wouldn't be able to continue after 10 minutes because their great bulging muscles slow them down, and it's harder for them to run. And remember when you watch this that this is a video game.. Sure you can kick the ball then get tackled, because they'll usually go for the tackle as you kick it to try and block the ball.
