AFRICAN RUGBY PLAYERS React To AMERICAN FOOTBALL?! *NFL MOST "ATHLETIC" PLAYS*🔥🏈 

can you tackle wide receivers without the ball ? 👀🏈

If y’all think it’s so easy and anyone can do it, bring your happy little selves over here and give it a try. Heck I’d enjoy just seeing you two standing up next to some of them.

I love hearing people say stuff like “All you have to do is tackle him” or “All you had to do is block that jump shot”. I’d love to see y’all tackle or block the shot of a world class athlete lmao.

That big guy, #73, is Larry Allen. 6’5 and 320 pounds. He ran down a person a that was was in full sprint from a standing start that covered over 50 yards. That is very impressive for a man that size.

If American football is so easy why was an Olympic rugby player, Nathan Ebner, just a special teams player? He was the back ups back up. Honestly, that's still impressive for most people. There are a lot of people who can't make it on a team. Nate has even said it himself. The NFL is harder when it comes to hitting. Rugby is harder when it comes to cardiovascular strength. He has done a few interviews about it I think.

I've played both sports. I've consistently seen Rugby players NOT be able to handle the complexities involved in actually playing upper level Football. As for physicality few have been able to handle trying to tackle successfully in Football.

I think you guys are seriously underestimating how hard it is to tackle an NFL player.

There's a reason why they wear helmets and padding and even those aren't enough to stop injuries. One player was paralyzed for life after taking a hit in 1978. In 2011 a player suffered a lacerated spleen. These guys are extremely athletic and their weight is made up of muscle ,not fat. If an American football player went up against a typical Rigby or soccer player without any protective gear between any of them ,the soccer or Rugby player would wind up in the hospital on first impact

The way rugby is played... the hits are no where near as big in American football. Those pads are there cause they would literally die with out them.

My little brother played high level rugby his last year in college. That's because he suffered a severe knee injury after playing 3 years of D1 college football. D1 college football is one league below the NFL. According to someone who has experience playing both at a very high level, he says rugby can't compete with football on any level. The players are much more athletic, the hits are way more violent, the pace is faster, etc. All that being said, he liked playing rugby a lot more, and I also enjoy watching rugby more. Football has an annoying cadence to the plays starting and stopping, where rugby flows much better. Overall, I prefer rugby, but had to say something about the physicality of the NFL - it stands alone as by far the most athletic and physically demanding sport around. Oh, to answer your question about the video... I don't think this one is very good. I think it might be better to watch a few specific players highlight reels and get a feel for one position at a time.

The player wearing #24 in orange running after #84 in black jersey and gold pants.Yes! he could've dived at #84 ankles,but the angle from the TV camera spot make it look like he was closer.When he was farther behind him.Well,two things #24 was too far away.Next, he was really TIRED! Your NOT diving if you're really,really,tired running after a fast player.☹️

You guys should look up the NFL's hardest hits. That is why NFL no longer wraps up tackles since players are trying to make highlight plays instead of doing the basic tackles. Also, in order for a catch to be legal you must either get two feet down in bounds or have one other part of the body besides the hand or feet touch in bounds for the catch to be complete. And until the catch is complete you are not ruled to possess the ball meaning it will not be a touchdown unless the ball is carried into the endzone or a complete catch is made. People think that American Football is soft because they use pads not realizing that at that level the players are basically using the pads as a way to hit harder. Hence many tackles in Rugby that are illegal are perfectly legal in American Football like taking someone off their feet to the point that their feet end up above their head.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uXaNHIooVy8.html this will show you how hard these dudes hit and that the shoulder pads keep them from killing each other.

Something to keep in mind when judging the older clips like 3:01, NFL filmed those on special cameras for archival, they ran a weird frame rate (48fps) and they don't convert to video directly. They're all very slightly slow, about 12%. So it looks like the runner is pokey...but it's the film.

Larry Allen was like 350lbs. Yeah its pretty athletic for a man that huge to catch him and make the tackle.

imagine NBA players trying to hurdle each other

Guys I know you say it looks easy but you don't want to get on a football with these guys we call people like you arm chair quarterbacks

That cowboys one bro was a lineman that out ran a corner I think he weighed over 320 lbs

To be fair, Rugby is an endurance sport. American football is more explosive

Not gonna lie, you guys have to realize that you're about half the size of even high school level RUGBY players in the U.S. It's just that rugby doesn't get as much attention or play in the States. The first one was a bit of a chance, but he still had the body awareness after getting flipped to land on his feet, keep his head up, and keep going.

did the play at 4:35 count as a TD ?! 👀🔥🏈

You guys seriously need to stop reacting to the NFL if all you are doing is hating on it. A Lot of us here in the comments have been trying to educate you on our favorite sport but when you keep saying "it's easy","it's soft" ect it's starting to get annoying. You can watch a new sport without coming across as condescending. All sports are different and some sports may be similar (baseball/rounders, hockey/soccer, rugby/football) but the beauty of it is each sport has different types of strategies, physical difference, rules ect. If your goal is to belittle and bash a sport you haven't even played yourself then you are very ignorant and people will start getting turned off by it. Food for thought bro.

Don’t forget these men are at full speed so just grabbing the ball Carrier is all u can do

Rugby is a "Contact" sport Football is a "Collision" sport.

I agree with u that they aren’t making form tackles and wrapping up but also u forgot these r some of biggest most athletic athletes on the planet sometimes when ur running full speed ruining out of stamina sometimes u play loose (usually the sign of bad teams) and at end of games u have to stop 6 foot 220 pounds RBs that run time and time again so defender get very wore out especially up front which normally helps open up the run game. But not knowing the sport u made a lot of good points about it. Also the first play u show his body control was the athleticism I can agree there’s luck but 99.999% of the time they don’t stick the landing.

I couldn't agree more, a couple of those clips are just bad tackling, lol. The very first thing a kid learns when he plays defense is how to properly tackle: break down and wrap up. They're just trying to shove the running back down or out of bounds instead of jumping on him and wrapping him up the way they've been coached to do since they were literally children. 😂

@7:20 you can't physically prevent the receiver from catching the ball. You can only tackle them or really put your hands on them after they make the catch. Up to that point, you can only attempt to intercept the ball or swat it away. The penalty is call pass interference. I think what you're missing here is how these guys make these plays look so easy. You say the run at 7:26 couldn't be done in rugby. That's Josh Cribbs, one of the best kickoff returners in history. He MAKES people miss. That's why he's so good. All those defenders are savages that came from top level colleges who selected them from top high schools. These are the best of the best getting paid millions of dollars to play. They don't miss. unless that guy. Have you seen how we dominate every single Olympic games? The most athletic people in the world are born here. These guys are the elite of the elite of the elite. I played American football from 8yrs old to 18 then rugby from 18 to 27. Football is definitely not soft, but neither is rugby. They are brutal in their own ways. Football is much faster and more violent. You get hit wayyyyy harder and way more recklessly in football. It hurts a lot more. Football players are genuinely trying to injure other players. There are definitely hard hits in rugby, but it's lot more form tackling, not wildly throwing your body head first at the opponent like football. Rugby is more technically skillful, you have to be in much better shape, and you have to have a wide variety of skills. I played lock so I had to know all the scrum stuff, lineouts/lifting, kicking, mauls, rucks, and a bunch of other things. Football's positions are much more specialized and each player has their own, very specific role in each play. With football, it's all about execution and play calling.

I think you missed the point on a couple of things. At 1:12 in the video, watch closely and you will see Chris Carson uses his right knee to propel himself into a front flip in order to complete his hurdle over the defender. Extremely athletic, but you said it was luck. At 11:04 to 11:20, the point is that Larry Allen, who was 6'3" 325 pounds, had a 700 lb bench, 910 lb squat, ran that fast to track down the guy who intercepted the pass. Very athletic for an enormous man. You might want to react to a Larry Allen video. Strongest man ever in the NFL.

best NBA slam dunks or MLB longest home runs are both good to react to.

Show us some of your highlights. 😂

I’m telling u lamar Jackson plays the most important position and is the one of the most electric players in nfl history. (He makes players look like they have no clue how to tackle)

You'll learn if you keep watching. Rugby ain't got shit on American football. They NEED pads, there is not a standard tackle like in rugby. I'd LOVE to see both of you AND 6 if your friends try to accomplish anything against Larry Allen or Lawrence Taylor or Ed Reed. Y'all would be broken in two.

No disrespect, but ya'll have no idea what you're talking about. Guys with legit Olympic track speed, American sprinters, have & continue to play in the NFL. 350-pound men who could easily win any strong man contest are manhandling each other on every play. Rugby is so slow and small in comparison it's a turtle vs. A freight train. Seriously, I played both, and one is stamina driven like football(soccer). The other is quick explosions like MMA strikers. You wouldn't make it past hitting drills in practice before you realized you have no business being out there.

American football "soft"? The average tackle in Rugby causes 21 Gs of force. The average tackle in American Football causes around 63 Gs of force. Several studies have been done, you can Google it for more details. But yea. Rugby is a contact sport, but Football is a collision sport. Way more dangerous and painful. Both sports are amazing.

Do a reaction to NFL biggest hits

My grandson plays collage football. You guy's do not have a clue what they go trough. Yes they jump over players. You guy's would not cut it. He played ETSU now is going to be playing for North Carolina Tar Hills next year. Watch for #28 Alijah Huzzie. He was # 28 for ETSU to.

Rugby players could not tackle an NFL player some of these little RB,s can bench 600lbs and are much faster and have long jumps of 10 feet

Y'all look for any possible excuse to downplay and diss what you're watching here.

Your forgetting football players switch over and play rugby. Rugby players switch over and become kickers.

soft? you say american football is *_SOFT_* ?!?! sonny, you don't know what you're saying. you try running 37 meters in 4.7 seconds while wearing 25Kg of gear. every time players collide, it is like being in an automobile crash. i played from Pop Warner league (6 years old) up to semi-professional level. it takes a toll on the body. you need to look deeper at the game and learn a little more before you say something as silly as _"it's soft."_

Check out Barry Sanders and good luck my brother's

Try Walter Payton One Man Band

What's you guys mailing address? I want to send you both some SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS shirts/hats so you can rep us in Africa!

LAMAR JACKSON HIGHLIGHTS

Childish Gambino and Lil yachty

Rugby players are tougher and in better shape no doubt. And I'm sure as a player y'all take pride in that but as far as a fans watching entertainment I find rugby to be the checkers to football's chess. The game broken into individual plays allows for far more strategy and scheming. Just my opinion I see you asking questions and hope once you learn more about it you will see it's beauty

Look up Lamar Jackson and Taysom Hill. True footballers.

Ok Carlin Isles can't make his college football team, learn how to play rugby in less than year and becomes a superstar.

Come back after you have watched a game or two. You just don't understand.

☹️ P r o m o s m

Rugby players are too scared to try out for American football you should watch NFL greatest here comes the boom greatest hits you're just watching great plays with no tackles

They wouldn't catch any of those balls

🙄

How come rugby players don’t transition to the nfl well

Haters😂

Rugby is soft

Y’all got no clue about the sport if y’all think it’s that easy well then if you ever have the opportunity to try the sport then do it see yourselves how you’ll do smh

RUGBY players ?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 what , Junior league ?! 😂😂😂

You watched the wrong video if you think this sport is "soft" that KS a very ignorant statement.
