wow!!!!!.world gridiron football?...cool..i wish they had this in the olympics

[haaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa]

i was playing for nz, it reminds me of the 2007 rugby world cup, where the french beat us

[AngelBearOH]

At about 0:49 when France's fullback drops the lateral pass, and New Zealand's defender picks it up and runs, is that considered an incomplete pass? Or doesn't that apply because the ball didn't go forward across the line of scrimmage?

[Dresd]

@AngelBearOH It was a lateral, not a forward pass, so it was still a live ball.

[Monskees]

nz is mud.

i love how the french are trying to play like americans

[goalieborn731]

rugby all you gotta do is throw a ball behind you and hope that you don't die,this sport has no excuses for that

[SouthernSeahawks]

Rugby instincts die hard. We had a RB who would never break long runs bc he always cut back to the middle of the field.

[Skuxximus]

Wow didnt even Know we had a Gridiron Team in NZ.

[AngelBearOH]

@Skuxximus The game needs a name that doesn't have "American" in it. "Gridiron" sounds good.

[haaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa]

@AngelBearOH agree, sounds more better

[Gold3nStat3KiD]

0:50...that fu gotta know this aint rugby, you got haul ass for as much yards and inches you can get. all that looking back for support aint useful.

[panathinakosbear]

yeah all that dude had to do was run left and it would have been a td lol

[Zurrixia]

@panathinakosbear

I noticed that they carry the ball like they're looking to pitch as well instead of tucking the ball away.
