Times move on as do Law changes and more information on the effects of contact. This video is of its time and is very good in terms of showing skills around the ruck. However there are some concerns now in 2021. The third skill shows shoulder contact to the head. A definite NONO in 2021. A sending off offence. Some good explanations but this video should be withdrawn as parts are very dated.
This coach was really humble I my opinion to understand rugby the origin of AF has evolved and has so many things they can use. Even there are a couple of videos of Canton Tigers making rugby plays, moves and passing the ball in their American Football games and we, as rugby people knows, it worked just fine. They didn't see that coming.
Rugby truly is the greatest game on the planet , it's as much about of the field as it is on the field , which creates an environment for friendships and self growth like nothing else i have ever seen and it's the same in every club. If you've ever contemplated giving it a go , do it. I promise you you have nothing to lose and every thing to gain , it will quite literally change your life.
An excellent teaching approach using simple progressions supported with clear explanations to build passing sequences. I am a New Zealander who coaches rugby in Perú. I will recommend this video to my players to reinforce what I teach in training.
#2 was really really REALLY dangerous! You don’t even have to know much about rugby to see that! That was very dangerous, you can choke or strangle or even break that man’s neck tackling him like that. The rest of the video was alright.
I remember when we were trying to grow high school rugby in Denver some 35+ years ago. The football coach of South High was against it. The fall after South's first rugby season one of his defensive tackles one handedly scooped up a fumble and rambled 30 yards for a touchdown. The coach asked him where he learned to do that. The player informed the coach that despite his objections he had played rugby and learned it there. The following spring there were a lot more football players playing rugby and the coach was a regular attendee to both practices and games.
This makes perfect sense ... Running back can perfect their open field skills , running and breaking tackles ... defensive players can perfect their tackling accuracy ....
The last guy speaking was spot on. American football allows you to be reckless with your tackling technique while rugby your tackle technique has to be spot on otherwise you suffer a concussion or the player you are tackling gets away.
Forgive the shameless punt... Try a ShadowBall for the best spin passing practise.... We've Scientifically proven that a ShadowBall can increase passing accuracy by as much as 266% in 4 weeks. Our drills and games are available for download from www.shadowball.co.z. Best of all is you can now practise passing more effectively on your own than with a normal rugby ball...
+Hobosdkcheese I've been struggling so much passing those long distances and I realize now that I need to put the power from the back half of my body, not just the arms
Anyone have any idea where I can find a clip of a president or scientist saying something along the lines of, "-proof there is any different types of lifeforms." ?
yes your right us Americans aren't too good at rugby, thats because we get way better opportunities playing American sports plus way more money. but who cares? I dare you try play American football! Its not like rugby where you only get tackled head-up. In American football you get blind-sided left and right, chopped blocked, high tackled, and speared. none of which is legal in rugby. Thats why we wear pads and rugby players don't. I played both. Defensive end in Football. #8 in Rugby. haters going hate.
Paula Kava It's true if you do a PROPER sphere u can seriously hurt yourself and you victim. Try doing that in an NFL game and we will see if they just send you off the bench for a couple of minutes. Know your facts and Know your SPORT.
shame you ended with "haters going to hate" a mindless bit of empty and jaded rhetoric used to dismiss critisizm as merely being a hate disorder in the person making the cririsizm, or even just having a different view. ... you don't get tackled head up in rugby, you do get tackled from the side and spearing is dangerous in a way that adds nothing to either game... there are good things about both.. but you seem to think quality of game is based on the possibility of stupid injury. I think what people really don't like about American football, from outside, is the constant stopping of play.. it makes it boring, the constant add breaks and commercial nature of it... didn't they want to break the football world cup into 4 quarters for adds!!! finding these things off putting is not hate, they are valid things against American football... and there is nothing really comparable on rugby to them. .. unless you think not being able to slam people down on their heads and risk permanent spinal injury is a failing in the game....as for the money, that ruins sports.. not a fan of football(British( but can see the farce it has become with it's money, look at UFC, it's a monstrosity and has nothing in common with real martial arts and martial sports, like American football, lost of talk, lots of adds, and people shouting as much for pain and injury as skill. On the other side, I don't think most people get that American footbal is more about over strategies of combining plays to and end result, as rugby uses strategies to set up good long plays and the play is as much part of the win as an overall strategy. But really Paula, rugby is such a English, European, S Amercan and basically non American game, of course people will comment on youtube tutorial on it being given by an American, just as one would seeing American football tutorials given by a brit... but if you rate things based on how many plays are allowed that could seriously injure a person, not based on skill etc, then you really don;t know sport and are like the UFC fan who knows nothing about martial arts, but says UFC is the best.. while they cheer for injures, rather than skill.. which they can not see as they are ignorant.
Agree with most of that with regards to the SPIN pass BUT there is also a time and a place for the "Windmilll" pass as he calls it. Under pressure most men who adopt the straight across the body approach get really fast with their arms resulting in the ball diving down towards the ground, instead of UP which makes it easier to catch. That' is when a more old school pendulum or windmill pass is required. See the 10, 12, 13 combination of Tim Horan, Jason Little and Michael Lynagh for reference. Their skill level was much higher than any of todays half backs and centres due to the perfection this technique. There is more than one way to pass, depending upon the situation.
Wow, this is pretty awkward/funny to see but good on this guy trying to introduce the (pre)basics of a pass in Rugby League/Rugby Union. Imagine the day some college could send a player out to a team in the NRL
Kelvin Wang No. Because according to medical science, they haven't come up with a cure for ALS, yet. So, Sir Stephen William Hawking is doing his best to survive.
Well, doctors take this very seriously- and they give him water through a tube. He probably gets hand-fed too. Everybody struggles with these kinds of illnesses, but he's lucky to have staff waiting on him 24/7/365. He will have to go through this for the rest of his life. But worry about him because he's very content and very intelligent.
I play Rugby in college and played high school football. When I started to play rugby, my open field tackling improved as well as my form. Looking back, I think its important to learn to tackle without pads in American football. It helps with form and the magnitude for injury is less.
I think it's easier to tackle in rugby though. With no forward pass and 4 extra players it's easier to be in formation to stop the run; spread out evenly across the field. In football you have to account for the forward pass, which vertically stretches the defense; and you have to counter the blocking with a d-line, so you condense it horizontally. Rugby is simply more defense friendly. Football players gain the ability to block and throw forward, giving the defense the responsibility to cover the pass and evade the blocking. Meanwhile the defense loses the ability to win the ball in a ruck, which takes away the offensive responsibility of dedicating players to support.
+Anon ymous. I'd say yes to the formation aspect, but in terms of straight up technique, one on one, I'd say that both tackling in football and in rugby is about the same.
