If you are going to get into rugby, this is a great year mate. The World Cup is just a few months away, and it is gearing up to be one of the most competitive ever!
The kick you weren't sure about - it was a penalty to Australia, but it was almost 60m away from the uprights, and it fell short. SA just kicked the ball directly into touch as it was pretty much the last play before half-time Also, the Rugby Championship is just a "small" tournament between the Southern Hemisphere teams (SA, Aus, NZ and Arg) - the World cup starts not long after the Championship finishes - that's what we're all waiting for. Hope you catch those games.
Grew up playing soccer and watching football. Found rugby late in highschool and played it for the next 14 years. Perfect description of what makes rugby so special. The flow of soccer combined with the physicality of football. The rugby world cup is coming up this fall. Hope you get plugged into that, should be exciting!
Japan was so gr8 !! , Rugby slowly but surely is getting there, more countries are joining !!!! and it is getting very competitive with the not so new countries, Romania, Chile, Uruguay, Italy is growing stronger ...
Ek was daar! Dit was 'n ongelooflike wedstryd. Die atmosfeer was iets wat ek self nog nooit beleef het nie. Die Bokke het hulself daardie dag weereens bewys as die beste rugby-mag in die wêreld. Thanks for the video man. Really brought back a great experience!
for non afrikaans speakers :): Ek was daar! i was there Dit was 'n ongelooflike wedstryd. it was an unbelievable tournament Die atmosfeer was iets wat ek self nog nooit beleef het nie. the atmosphere was something I never would have believed myself Die Bokke het hulself daardie dag weereens bewys as die beste rugby-mag in die wêreld. That day, the boks again showed themselves as the best rugby power in the world
This was my first actual international match that I've ever went too, and me being a VERY big springboks fan this was definitely a match I will never forget! HIER KOM DIE BOKKE!!!
@@lukessportsacademy What!? Young man, the All Blacks exist, you know. I think you need some education about the game. The Boks/All Blacks is the best rugby rivalry, though. No contest there.
Bafana is good. They try play possession football and have the skills to do it, international footy is just incredibly competitive and our guys are small
@@almostyummymummy The Boks had always led the Oceanians (once known as the All Blacks) on test wins between them from the 1920s to the 1990s when racial quotas were introduced and Bok rugby suffered tremendously with former players, coaches and administrastors walking away from the game. Notwithstanding that, the Boks, on their first participation, won RWC in 1995, then again in 2007 and again in 2019, to be the reigning RWC champions. The Oceanians have also won it three times, but in two tournaments more than the Boks and once, 1987, in the absence of the Boks. The Boks are easily the most famous rugby brand in the world.
@@wouterswanepoel5753 I agree on everything you said except the brand thing. The all blacks image is way too famous, but thats cause their image is more and best marketed. I think even Americans have heard about the all blacks even without knowing nothing about the sport.
Please go in depth with the rugby tactics you will be fascinated on how technical it is you might actually fall in love with it. There are rumors that the Springbok coach Russie Erasmus took some ideas for Liverpool manager Klopp who you might be familiar with. For how rugby teams play and use strategies check out youtube channel called Squidge Rugby.
HIGHLY recommend checking out Rugby Explained for American Football Fans by Sports Explained - it’s one of the best out there and goes into detail about the history and connection with football without being overwhelming His two Cricket ones are perfect too (and use Baseball as the reference point)
3:30 it was a penalty for Australia and you have 4 options 1 - tap and run 2 - kick (punt) into touch and take a line out 3 - kick off a tee at the posts for 3 pts 4 - scrum
There was a penalty, the team that was awarded the penalty can choose to "kick for posts" for 3 points, or kick it out for a line-out or run it at the other team, they were kicking it for posts and they missed it.- to answer your field goal question
3:30 it’s called a place kick. Taken when a team is awarded a penalty. If the kicker believes he can kick the distance he has to kick the ball so it clears above the horizontal bar and between the vertical posts. If the kicker can’t kick the distance they normally kick the ball directly into touch closer to the opponent’s try line - out the field without a bounce and they win the line out if no bounce inside the field before going out occurred. Another way of taking a penalty is when they tap it on the foot and run from the spot.
The punt you were referring to is a really long penalty. He just missed so it looked like he just gave the ball back. I think the ref said is the deliberate knock on, which is a penalty and not a scrum. Crazy that he went for 60 years punt tho. Should have kicked for the corner to get a better attacking position from a line out hopefully in SA 22
in the highveld the ball travels further than most grounds. 60m even on a angle is more attainable up in Pretoria than in Durban or Cape Town. aussies had been crap with set pieces and forced errors so I understand why he decided to go for points just before the break
You can kick a field goal while running with the ball as long as you dont throw the ball forward. This is called a drop kick. You can kick a field goal off of a penalty by placing the ball on the ground and kick for the posts. You can kick a field goal after a try(touch down) and the placement of the ball on the ground will depend on how close to the posts the try ( touchdown) was scored. You can also punt the ball ( called an up and under)You can kick the ball if its dropped on the ground towards the opposition's territory along as the ball is not lost( dropped or thrown forward) you can never lose or throw( pass) the ball forawrd will incure a penalty.
You have kicks in rugby for territory and then you have kicks at goals, conversions of tries and penalties. A conversion is worth an extra 2 points after a try has been scored. A penalty can either be chosen to play for field advantage or take a kick at goal which is worth 3 points. Finally a drop goal can also be done, where a player can attempt a snap kick at goal which is also worth 3 points. Not however a tactic favoured in the modern game.
There was a forward pass by SA, which is a penalty. Australia can kick, run or take a penalty kick. They tried the penalty kick, but it fell short. Unlike NFL the ball is kicked where the offence takes place, and the extra point in line where the actual "touch down" was touched down. This is Rugby Union, 40 minuets of non stop play each way. If you can keep possession, they other team might never get a look in. American Football came from Rugby League - the 6 pass rule became 4 downs and a single forward pass was added. Simplified Rugby League.
there is no reason to enjoy both football and rugby. Especially with the Rugby world cup in September. I think american football is brutal. But I dislike the lack of fluidity. A play is made, then the game is stopped. Imagine what it would be like if american football was constant movement. with the teams playing one team on attack and then defence.
Yeah, I grew up with the American game. I love the tactical aspect of American football. It’s a very strategic sport. (Less improvised) it’s basically a battle of set pieces. An American football play book could be upwards of 60 pages.
I'd suggest watching a full march if you had the time for that kind of thing, you seemed to enjoy the big lad crashing through the line and a full match has a lot more of that
3.12 The kick. The referee was playing an advantage for a penalty to Australia. In Rugby, we play 2 x 40 minute halves, BUT the half only ends when the ball goes dead AFTER time's expired. A penalty doesn't make the ball dead, so Australia opted to kick a penalty for 3 points. The kick was short so South Africa caught the ball and then kicked to touch to make the ball dead and end the half.
No 2 pulled the maul down just before the goal-line, hence the Boks got a penalty try (7 points) because they would cerainly have scored a try and the offending player got a yellow card (out for 10 minutes).
Not a punt called a place kick, he went for a penalty kick valued at 3 points, there is a conversion which is given after a try, which is valued at 2 points, both are taken by place kicking off a kicking tee
By the way, this match took place in Elon Musk's hometown (and my hometown) Pretoria. It's the capital city of South Africa. I also went to the ssme high school he did (Pretoria Boys' High School) but many years after him.
The kick you were talking about is from a penalty, when you are rewarded a penalty you have the option to tap and go, scrum, kick to the line for a line out or kick over the poles for 3 points.
Rugby has the post-try conversion (2 pt), the drop-kick goal (1 pt), and the penalty kick (3 pt). The drop-kick can be taken from anywhere on the pitch by the guy in possession. The penalty has to be taken from the spot of the foul. Rugby is the game American football evolved from, and what it shares with Association Football is the flow of the game. There are continual changes of possession, stoppages occur only on fouls or when the ball goes out of touch, or when a try is accomplished. I've watched a bit of rugby over the years including Tri-Nations and Six-Nations championships and it is every bit as absorbing as soccer. I still like American football, though I tend to gravitate a lot more toward the high school game these days where they play to the basics: emphasising the run, solid defence, and possession. THAT is football as I knew it growing up and it was a much more interesting game than what the NFL delivers today.
The kick (punt) was a penalty kick. Where the penalty was committed is the point from which the kick is taken. The kick can be tapped and run, kicked at goal, or kicked for position. In this case the kick was for points. The kick did not go above the crossbar and between the posts, so it was not completed, no points. The ball is still live though, so the receiving team player kicked the ball off the field as time had run out for that half. That ended play for that half.
The attempted penalty kick at 3:08. The S. Africans gave away a penalty, the referee allowed the Australians to play advantage, if no advantage accrues they go back to the original penalty and, unusually, they opted to kick for goal from a very long way back and the kick fell just short, so they gained nothing from it.
Rugby players would dismantle NFL players like rag dolls. People have seen Boxers and MMA fighters in each others domains. I would like to see NFL players to try to just last for at least 15 mins without their stupid protective gear.
The Rugby World Cup is in a week, its going to be great. Here is a recap of the differences: Objective of the Game: American Football: The main objective is to score touchdowns by either running or passing the ball into the opponent's end zone. Rugby: The aim is to score tries by placing the ball down in the opponent's in-goal area. Number of Players: American Football: 11 players on each side. Rugby: Either 15 players (Rugby Union) or 13 players (Rugby League) on each side. Protective Gear: American Football: Players wear helmets, shoulder pads, and other protective gear. Rugby: Generally, no protective gear except for mouthguards and sometimes light padding. Passing: American Football: Forward passes are allowed. Rugby: Only lateral or backward passes are allowed. Tackling: American Football: Players are tackled and play stops, followed by a huddle and a new play. Rugby: Play continues after a tackle. The tackled player must release the ball, and it's often picked up by a teammate to continue play. Scoring: American Football: Touchdown (6 points), Field Goal (3 points), Extra Point (1 or 2 points). Rugby: Try (5 points), Conversion (2 points), Penalty Kick or Drop Goal (3 points). Terms to Know: Downs (American Football): A set of four attempts to move the ball 10 yards forward. Rucks and Mauls (Rugby): Methods to contest and win possession of the ball after a tackle or during open play. End Zone (American Football): The area where touchdowns are scored. In-Goal Area (Rugby): Similar to the end zone, where tries are scored. Quarterback (American Football): The player who throws forward passes and leads offensive plays. Scrum-half (Rugby): A key player who feeds the ball into scrums and often acts as a link between forwards and backs. Punt (American Football): Kicking the ball to the opponent when unable to achieve a first down. Lineout (Rugby): A method of restarting play where the ball is thrown back in from the touchline. Huddle (American Football): When the team gathers to discuss the next play. Scrum (Rugby): A method of restarting play that involves a contest for the ball involving eight players who bind together and push against the other team. Hope this helps 🙂
3:20 they had a penalty advantage for something off camera (prolly tackler not roling away), ref stopped the wallabies play because there was a runner in front of kicker (punter), so ref said 'no advantage' and went back to earlier penalty
At 3:15, Australia awarded a penalty and chose to kick for goal. They could have kicked for touch outside the 22 and got the put in at the scrum.. they had options and chose the poorest one
To really get a great appreciation for Rugby, check out Die Hards video compilations of rugby. A player that is just absolute the best in the world, the ultimate athlete, check out Cheslin Colby from South Africa's Springboks.
Penalty to australia when Hooper kicked ahead at 2:50 two boks in front of him turned and chased. They were caught off side by the ref. This happens a lot in rugby. When the ball is kicked ahead like this then players who are ahead of the ball are not allowed to chase it because they have an advantage over players who are behind the ball when it is kicked. The ball is available only to players from behind the ball and only when they have played it can the other players join in. The foul play must have been very blatant because in reality the ref should have played the advantage and allowed australia to continue their play. But I think what happened is that in many cases referees decision is based on proximity to score line. Referee blew because it did not happen close enough to the try (goal) line. At the opposite extreme had it happened right in front of the try line ref would have awarded a penalty try on the spot.
To get you up-to-date the Rugby World Cup is coming up in September in France ... alot of teams (including South Africa) are trying to play like the best two teams in the World Ireland and France ....some say they are leading the way at the moment ... have a look at highlights from this years Six Nations Ireland vs France for an epic match
in rugby ur only allowed to pass backwards, so at 3:11 australia passed forward and got a penalty so south africa got a free kick which means they can kick the ball through the poles to get points but they missed (disclaimer: im not a huge fan of rugby and dont know the rules properly this is js what ik)
For me, the stop start nature of American football and way too many commercials and how long a game takes, makes it borderline unwatchable. Rugby is by no means perfect, but anyone on the team can run with the ball. All are expected to tackle. Anyone can score a try. It's a game for all shapes and sizes and players have to have a level of fitness where they could be required to play for the whole 80 minutes.
Just to put it into context, Australia only plays rugby thru its private school system,theres no real grassroots movement or community like other countries like south Africa or new Zealand has where its a passion and number one sport played in public and private schools. The vast amount of Australian talent play afl or nrl which is played in public and private schools. So always take it with a grain of salt Australias performances,we may not have the strongest domestic competition,but we'll compete and be competitive like we are with any sport out there
Ruby Championship 2023 is over, but the Rugby World Cup kicks off on Saturday. This is possibly the most exiting world cup yet - so many teams bringing so much talent. Don't miss it! Here's a bit more Springboks vs All Blacks - some outstanding playing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bjKVlCyUznQ.html
It wasn't a punt. The ref. was playing advantage and their was no advantage so he brought it back for a pentaly kick (Not punt). if he kicks it over its 3 points. He has the choice to tap the ball and run, Kick for the lineout for their throwin or kick for poles for the 3 points.
Im not sure but i think u need to pass backwards so that guy from sa before passed it forward so Australia got the pun, the ref said it was a forward pass and i just think he didnt put enough power into it which is why the other team just kicked it out since it was halftime anyways
A fun sport to watch is Sevens Rugby!! It's an extremely short game (7 minutes each half), very fast paced, almost like a different sport. The whole championship happens in a couple of days, and there are several circuits throughout the year all over the world. Those are done, sadly, but the Olympics will be in 2024
The kick you were confused about was a goal kick. Australia was kicking for goal in order to score 3 points off of a penalty. The kicker in this instance could not kick far enough so the ball fell short
This guy should come watch local curry cup game live and I think rugby more exciting then American football maybe he picked up a few tips which he can use in his American football league
Glad you liked it that was a good reaction, Rugby League isn't just about the big hits there is also a lot of skill. Can you do a reaction to Shaun Johnson and is known for his side stepping (jukes) and kicking, he played for the New Zealand team the Warriors here is a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o9d_d_FbKGU.html you will like this as he is also a playmaker, has the highest points for New Zealand in international games and also Warriors highest point scorer, I hope you enjoy this.
NFL is only played in the U.S. Rugby is a true international sport with genuine physicality and grit. No body protective and gear. More difficult is that it is a backward passing game, unlike NFL forward pass, easier game play. There are so many other matrix and dynamics abt it which supercede NFL. THIS IS A NO BRAINER. Get any NFL player to swop a game wuth a Rugby player and do an honest postll game interview 😢
After watching this, I now know why Wildkard rugby was so harsh on Venipoulu, he was absolutely atrocious. His defensive reads are hopeless. It really was like "watching Stevie Wonders trying to read a book." As qouted from Wildcard himself.
I can't beleive that the Aussies have someone as useless as Venipolu on their team. They would have done better with the under 15s school boy winger from Lithuania 🇱🇹, than they did with Venipolu as their winger. Better still, no number 11 at all. He was pathetic.
Just expanding on the comment left by @mwwoggy regarding the "Punt" It is a kick at goal to try and gain 3 points, a try (touch down) is worth 5 points and converting the try is 2 points
Watching American football is like watching paint dry, to slow to many breaks no flow 2 teams on each side defense and offence, all in short bursts, rugby the players on the pitch are both and play continuously more or less for 40 minutes each half.
