@sactownism Its safer and more secure than just leaning over and touching the ball on the ground. Then people might kick it out of you hand or push you over
haha the first Kiwi try, I think no. 7, haha so bloody typically illegal, massive forward pass. If anything could describe the Kiwi rugby team from its start to present day, it would be 2 words, illegal and cheat.
Im having a huge discussion with my mate here!!! Me and his dad thinks Rugby union has more tackles than Rugby league... What do you guys reckon??? and why....
probably the goofiest sport next to lacrosse is rugby. this game is one long benny hill chase without the hot chicks. ill give it respect to a degree because the game spawned our american football which is 2 zillion times the game this crapfest is. foreigners dont have the brain power to understand an NFL game so they have to settle for this junk. heck, id rather watch soccer....wait, no i wouldnt.
@copsondonuts there is no need to be offensive... if you don't like rugby, fair enough, just shut up and get on with life. stop ruining other people tastes. plus, rugby union, league and Association Football are popular WORLDWIDE. Whereas american football is stuck in about 1 nation.
@copsondonuts I didn't realize you didn't chase people in American football... Yeh you're right, the rest of the world doesn't watch American Football because it is boring, slow paced, jammed with adverts and requires no physical fitness. But because they are not as smart as Americans. Heck I'd rather watch baseball, actually no I wouldn't that's just another adaptation of a British sport. Do you actually make your own things or just copy Britain?
@PotentThorn dont misinterpret what i said. i have not a problem with rugby being the grandfather of our football. i dont really even have a problem with soccer, they are all different sports which require different levels of play, fitness, skill. the problem i have is the constant badgering my sport gets from know-nothing emaciated/starving euro's who couldnt even begin to HIT a baseball much less throw one.
@copsondonuts I didn't misinterpret what you said, I got it bang on. Baseball? Well we have a sport that is identical to baseball but with a smaller ball and no gloves, in other words it's harder to hit the ball and requires more technique to catch properly without hurting yourself, it's called rounders and it's what you Americans copied to make baseball.
@PotentThorn sigh....and you guys copied 'soccer-football' from the chinese, recorded history shows that. SO WHAT. your doofy responses proves two things...1.) europeans are still stupid people (yes, i consider GB 'europe') 2.) you haven't been taught proper 'reading-comprehension' skills in your classroom. So i shouldn't expect anything too analytical from you.
@copsondonuts Well I have been taught in both British and American schools, your grammar is about as good as Helen Keller's, so lets not get into education. As for intelligence globally, statistics show intelligence is constant throughout the world. Or would you like some name Hawking, the most intelligent person in recorded history, Newton, Einstein, the list really does go on. You know when I lived in America, about 15 or so people asked me how I learned English so quickly.
@PotentThorn "statistics show intelligence is constant throughout the world. " <-------- BWAHAHAHAHAHA even those millions of rural chinese who've barely even seen a real BOOK let alone know how to read it? those guys? or the millions of indians who are the same? those people? you mean those russians over there who might not ever see a classroom in their entire lives? the afghan cavemen? the bazillions of uneducated africans? europe= their stupidity amazes me to this day.
@copsondonuts Are you actually retarded, or slow? Intelligence has nothing to do with that stuff, you're born with intelligence, you can't learn it. You're thinking of knowledge. "millions of Indians who are the same" That's so racist, wrong and irrelevant. Jesus, there was a fucking study done on five year olds to show that they could understand other people's perspectives yet you seem to have no idea that Indians look different to other Indians, just like you do to other white people.
@PotentThorn lol 'knowledge' 'experience' etc INCREASES the intellectual capacity in people you dolt. you're born with BASIC intelligence, it EXPANDS with experience and knowledge and how you USE it. Good god i think europe is cursed for eternity with idiocy. no wonder your history is filled with bloodshed and ruin. "thats so racist...." awww did i offend your politically correct mind? do you know what you're writing? Or do you just type away without thinking?
@copsondonuts Experience and knowledge do not need to be in quotation marks, they do not increase the capacity as a capacity by definition is not increased but is filled. The USA is the only country to have offensively detonated nuclear warheads killing nearly 200,000 civilians and the Europeans have a bloodshed history? Oh yeh the Europeans invented those nuclear weapon. Racist and retarded, you've got to be a hillbilly, are your parents related, incest isn't exactly PC you know.
@PotentThorn ummmm no, it INCREASES. obviously yours hasn't and mine has. the question is does one have the ABILITY to increase it, some don't. some are just DUMB (you). "The USA is the only country to have offensively detonated nuclear warheads killing nearly 200,000 civilians and the Europeans have a bloodshed history"---- LOL shall i bring up communism, nazism (nazism alone dwarfs the bombs.) the crusades, inquisitions potato famine, napolean sigh,,,,yes, bloodthirsty is too nice of a word.
@copsondonuts Well just the nuclear bombs reached a death count that was 1/30 of that of the holocaust, so in one month the Americans could have killed as many as the Nazis did in 4 years. Ok, so lets talk about what goes on in the American continents then, if you're gonna talk about eastern Europe I will talk about the drug, sex and human trafficking in South America, the slavery cases, the Brian Jonestown massacre, the lynchings, McCarthyism, the KKK, gun crime, Guantanamo bay etc...
@copsondonuts The potato famine?! What? How was that blood shed, it was a bad harvest hahaha, that's like me using hurricane Katrina as a point. Oh yeh and I missed out columbine, the world trade center, the primitive medical system, the socialism, the fascism. Oh and then there is the slavery of the blacks, the civil war, the racism (as displayed by yourself), causing the global collapse of the banks and lets not forget, America is still one of the youngest countries in the world
why is everybody hating on rugby? I am a MAJOR (American) Football fan and even i know that football came from Ruby. I LOVE playing/watching football and if you do too, than dont hate on Ruby.
My only fear with that is that in Rugby you cannot block. And blocking in Football is key. Hopefully he could shift gears in his mind from one sport to the other. At 40 years old, I've played Football for so long I don't think I could play Rugby. My instinct to block for my ball runner would be too great. WHAP! Ohhh shit...
@norseman7088 different codes of football. but, if rugby hadn't have been invented, american football wouldn't even exist. but, yeah, there are many codes of football. rugby is included.
nope just one in the top ten. The total tries that could be classed as super each year would easily go past 50 which would make it half an hour long, or thereabouts.

Thanks mate for sharing.....it was good to see those tries again, hell I thought when they said 10 tries and England came up that they had got footage of all the "poms" tries since William Webb Ellis....rofl....hahahaha, Your Kiwi Mate....lol....:))
@ultragalaxydeath and because in the beginning american football gained sponsers and became professional before rugby did, and then took the time to work on advertisements to make football seem better then rugby and rugby seem like a bad, barbaric sport, slowly making it more and more unpopular
@FrayOfLight football became professional when they started giving enough money that people can live off of to play, and that happend way before it did in rugby, which happened in the 90s, my facts are fucking straight. also for starters canada plays where they have a fucking league, and further look at a interview by roger goodell at NFL.com as my source where he talks about NFL expansion to england and mexico at least. and americans did play enough rugby they won 2 gold medals in the olympics
American NFL isn't professional unless a considerable part of the world plays it..,
Why do you think it's only called "American" its because the North American province plays it.., and Most of the countries (England, France, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand) were formed in 1880s-1920's..,
@FrayOfLight That's your own definition of "professional". If people are PAID to play the game it's professional, no matter if it's one country or twenty. American professional football has existed since 1902, and the NFL was founded in 1922. Back to your point about American football being a north American sport. Check out the International Federation of American Football sometime. American football is a truly global sport, albeit less popular than rugby, except in N. America.
@norseman7088 Bullshit.., Its played by barely 4 countries..,
Just admit the fact Rugby is better then American Football..,
Most of you dumbshits won't give up saying "NFL IS WIN, UMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL" So newsflash for ya.., Rugby existed 30 years before that sport.., and Internations were played before the sport was even started.
@FrayOfLight I post facts and you post "bullshit". EPIC FAIL.
And I'll admit that both sports are DIFFERENT in their own right. Rugby can sometimes get a little boring and it looks like American football before the advent of the forward pass (without the blocking). But I certainly respect the stamina and endurance that Rugby players possess. And it is a more exciting game to watch than most.
I'd rather watch Rugby than Soccer, Basketball or Baseball, but my first love is still Football.
@FrayOfLight The sport is even played in your own country! NZAFA! It's global! Does the NZAFA have a following akin to the All Blacks? Hell NO. Rugby is not popular in America........but it's played here. Same/same.
Actually I'm trying to change that. I'm attempting to bring a Junior High Rugby league to my area. My son hates Baseball and Rugby would make a great alternative spring sport.
Besides, a lot of what he'd learn in Rugby would equate directly to Football. Win/win
@FrayOfLight rugby reached the professional era in the early 1990s, in the 1987 world cup there was just a tournament for it, as for the olympics they won gold for both 1920 and 1924, The era of professional sports happens when a person can make a living off of it and not need another job, England has expressed an idea to form a NFL team of their own, or have a division in england
@haddonfullback I'm an American, I haven't known the difference between League and Union until just a moment ago. Both are clearly superior to American Football. That being said, I watched a film of international League tries and then this film; the League tries are far more entertaining, they make more people miss and pitch the ball in traffic more often, plus you can hit with the shoulder... like a man.
@Trageikeman116 League's entertainment is due to the way they manipulate the action to focus not on possession but on the ability to break through and score. Union's contestation at the tackle requires a more methodical approach to open up room to score. League may have more entertaining tries, but Union has a depth and spirit to it that makes it a more fulfilling experience in my opinion.
becoz union is just like kick then kick back then kick back then kick back,then finally tackled an the forwards run though 7 times only to make 10 meters,im sorry i like union bbut when they enter that phase it annoys the shit out of me.
dont critize the sports their both good, no problem with insulting nfl though
yeh,umm sonny bill went from league to union and kicked some french fly halfs ass on his first tackle and mark gasnier has been scoring heaps in the french clubs.more big hits in rugby league
lol balshaw was at fault for all the tries scored against england, when tuqiri got his, he shuda stayed solid and let varndell hit fucking gerard not hit him himself..what a retard
there are some nice tries in there, but the footage is all from sky - so they have only looked at games THEY have the rights to. i.e. England non-6N games, and Tri-Nations games. They ignore anything that they dont have rights to, like it doesnt even exist - that's Sky for you!
LOL - im english and i agree, that was crap. They only looked at about 4 games and only a couple of them were any good. What the hell was that george chuter try doing in there???????
what a load of horse poo...typical english to leave out SA tries and also the welsh...how about Fouries try against the Allbacks...just pathetic the English
Funny that there is no Springbok try! And really, do they reckon the no 2 and no 1 tries are really that good, dont say that were the best tries of the year. Did they not have anything other than NZ, Aus and England games to watch? NZ for one scored a lot of tries in 2006. Only 2 in the top 10....really!
that was pretty awful i saw a lot better tries myself like lathams try against wales, one of the numerous tries scored by ireland and new zealand etc...
i would have to say i like the aussie commentators the best even though i'm a kiwi i think the aussie commentators make the game feel a bit more exciting and better to watch
I don't know anything about Rugby, but why do they always dive at the end of the field?

Actually I'm trying to change that. I'm attempting to bring a Junior High Rugby league to my area. My son hates Baseball and Rugby would make a great alternative spring sport.
Besides, a lot of what he'd learn in Rugby would equate directly to Football. Win/win

@TWsfgg Rugby went professional in 1987 when their actually was a tournament..,
And in the olympics.., they won Plate medals or Bowl medals.., as in the sevens are based in 4 divisions of play.
American rugby has never won a cup..

@FrayOfLight rugby reached the professional era in the early 1990s, in the 1987 world cup there was just a tournament for it, as for the olympics they won gold for both 1920 and 1924, The era of professional sports happens when a person can make a living off of it and not need another job, England has expressed an idea to form a NFL team of their own, or have a division in england

@haddonfullback I'm an American, I haven't known the difference between League and Union until just a moment ago. Both are clearly superior to American Football. That being said, I watched a film of international League tries and then this film; the League tries are far more entertaining, they make more people miss and pitch the ball in traffic more often, plus you can hit with the shoulder... like a man.
Trageikeman116 11 months ago
@Trageikeman116 League's entertainment is due to the way they manipulate the action to focus not on possession but on the ability to break through and score. Union's contestation at the tackle requires a more methodical approach to open up room to score. League may have more entertaining tries, but Union has a depth and spirit to it that makes it a more fulfilling experience in my opinion.

how is league better? the maximum amount of phases you can have is 6. There's no build up, just short passages of play.
jacobmace1 3 years ago
becoz union is just like kick then kick back then kick back then kick back,then finally tackled an the forwards run though 7 times only to make 10 meters,im sorry i like union bbut when they enter that phase it annoys the shit out of me.
dont critize the sports their both good, no problem with insulting nfl though

League is for bums and losers. League players are twats who rape women and piss on people in night clubs. Also it is soo fucking predictable.
1st tackle - hit up
2nd tackle - hit up
3rd tackle - pass through the hands
4th tackle - hit up
5th tackle - kick
Harden the fuck up and play a real sport!!
Rugby union fucks up league!!!

DavidRhys1988 4 years ago
there are some nice tries in there, but the footage is all from sky - so they have only looked at games THEY have the rights to. i.e. England non-6N games, and Tri-Nations games. They ignore anything that they dont have rights to, like it doesnt even exist - that's Sky for you!

Funny that there is no Springbok try! And really, do they reckon the no 2 and no 1 tries are really that good, dont say that were the best tries of the year. Did they not have anything other than NZ, Aus and England games to watch? NZ for one scored a lot of tries in 2006. Only 2 in the top 10....really!
