Rugby | best respect and emotional moments | reaction 

Respect for the ref, respect for the opponent, respect for your team-mates, respect for the rules. This is why I love sport. Great reaction.

Just so you know, the guy in the Tartan suit at 4.25 minutes is Doddie Weir, he is a former Scotland International. He played Second Row and is huge. He was diagnosed with Motor Neurone disease a couple of years ago and set up the My Name is Doddie Foundation to raise money to try and find a cure. The guy is a complete and utter legend, he is a wonderful man.

To a true rugby fan the game is more about respect and tradition than winning and losing. The players still call the referee "sir" when they approach them during a game. Players knock lumps out of each other then meet for a social drink after, what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. Any rugby fan can find common ground with another, if you can't then you don't get it, stick with soccer, we don't want you.

Who is he? His name is Rob Burrows he was a great player who played as a scrum half no 7 for Leeds Rhinos. He’s been diagnosed with motor neurone. He’s getting heaps of support from the Rugby League clubs and players .

It made a very refreshing change to see the other side of Rugby being shown. Thank you and well done.

Yeah you always make a tunnel and shake hands at the end of the game. I remember doing it playing under tens. Play hard and fair and shake hands and respect your opposition.

They do it every game, at all levels of the sport

Schalk Burger the last professional player to drink beer with opposition in their own dressing room after a game. The Testament being him and so many Kiwis being friends.

Rugby is essentially respect: respect of the adversary, of the rules, of the officials. The tunnel at the end of matches is a normal thing, at every level and so it is the coming together of the teams for a beer (or a formal dinner at the highest level of the game) after the mach, remembering how you beat the living hell out of each other on the field. And the beauty of this is that those memories are the foundation for long lasting friendship. Anyway, this a fascinating aspect of rugby, but I do think every contact sport has to have respect and control as a foundation, otherwise it becomes violence

Love the video. You got the jist. Respect for your fellow humans. Peace from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Cymru am byth.

This is one of the things I love about Rugby Union. The players are so strong and could do so much harm but while they play real hard, the men of rugby show what real men should be. They work hard, they give it their all, but they respect their opponents and they show compassion, empathy and support for those who need it in their time of need. That is what a being a real man is about .... being tough when you need to but then being there to support others when you need to and when they need someone. Love rugby. A quick shout out to Jonah Lomu, who epitomised all of this.

As a Kiwi from New Zealand, home of the All Black's and being raised on Rugby as our national game. Respect is a part of the game alot of ppl that don't know the game, don't see. They just see the hard hits & how rough it is. If you look hard at some rugby reaction videos you'll notice Colour and Race doesn't really raise it's ugly head.

People that play this sport are next level brave.

Hi Jasmine, really enjoyed this video, glad to hear you're a rugby fan! As many have pointed out, respect is absolutely central to rugby. Just some info, in case others haven't mentioned it: The guy in the tartan suit who brought the ball to the centre spot is Doddie Weir, a retired Scottish player who has motor neurone disease (ALS). The guy in the navy suit who did the same thing later on is Rob Horne, an Australian player who had to retire due to suffering a paralysed right arm.

The teams used to always swap shirts until it was realised some teams didn't have the same amount of money and replacing their team shirts wasn't easy. Different now though, it's a professional sport.

played for 15 years, nothing like this sport. first practice you are shown respect and learn to give it back. respect the laws of the game, the ref, the fans, the other team, your mates, and in the end you gain respect for yourself. so glad you are learning about rugby. anytime I cross paths with another player, anywhere in the world, we are like instant family

The best reaction to anything I've ever seen

Didn't show SBW giving his world cup medal to a fan.

Rugby is a game where for 80 minutes you try to hurt one another then spend hours drinking together, it's a brotherhood

I LOVE what you are doing keep it up 100

Grate vid, thank you for posting 😊🙏🤙

Love it I play rugby in my island 🏝 Was the first second American football It does gives emotional though ..... Respect other players

omg SBW.wow.Dan Carter.Fiji Bula Vinaka.Kia Kaha.mihi nui churr

I appreciate you sharing this. You echo my sentiments exactly re: what makes a team and what keeps a team strong. The prayers and the mutual respect are far too rare. Our major league franchises could learn a LOT, especially strength in humility.

Yea! I loved your reaction video, why is it most American are only interested in the violence and massive hits. Rugby is about team work,respect and good sport,with players making good designs for the benefit of the whole team,and the sheer pleasure of playing a good game with your friends.well done

Worth watching more and understanding some of the significance of the clips you’ve picked. Even more in it than meets the eye in rugby.

Hi Jasmine, I'm not sure where you live but we have Major League Rugby in the US now. If there's a team near you, come out to see a match in person. It's a great sport. Thanks for supporting and promoting a sport that is not well known in the US. But those of us who follow it, love it for so many reasons, including the "character" as you so perfectly put it!

Nice reaction. Back in the 60's I was introduced to the game of Rugby... I quit football to play rugby and played for 9 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nothing like this game. They say that Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen. Only a few sports have the respect at the end of the game to honor the opposing team.

Your reactions to this vid made me subscribe to your channel. I’m from Australia and love rugby union and I get to see this kind of behaviour a lot of times but it is still great to watch how others react to this side of the sport. Great job and keep up the great work 👍👍

Outstanding Reaction!!!Blessings to you From Freddie and Trubble Somerset West, South Africa!!!!! Go Springboks!!!!

The man who comes onto the field at about 2 minutes in is Rob Burrow, just five feet five inches in height and about 2/3rds of the weight, often less, of the other players on the field. He has MND, the same as big Doddie Weir, the guy in the tartan suit. Both incredible players, check their performances out on You Tube. 👍🏻

Had forgotten some of those clips.. 💕

Respect. Beautiful.

every game in rugby the team clap each other off , even childrens matchs

Love ur reaction & respect ur reaction too.👍👍 👍

The video clip to me shows the absolute truth of the old saying that "Football/Soccer is a game for Gentlemen played by Thugs, but Rugby is a Game for Thugs played by Gentlemen"..!! True respect for one's opponents and the rules of the game, abounds on and Off the field..!!

Every game. Every time. Internationals down to grammar schools. The losing team forms a 'tunnel' to clap and shake the hands of the victors. As the victors pass through they form a 'tunnel' to do the same for their opponents. It's not just respect, it's brother/sister-hood. Things you might not have understood..... Players often will trade jerseys. For most high level games the jerseys are embroidered with the date and teams names. They make wonderful keepsakes whether they are framed and hung or worn. I saw a player give his Championship medal to a spectator but I don't know that story. One like that was when after winning the World Cup Sonny Bill Williams gave his medal to a young lad who had run out onto the field to congratulate him.

Love this, its nice to see a reaction to such a positive side of the sport Can you please react to 'the best war cries you'll see' from nrl nine Its a video of the teams performing the war cries from the indigenous people of new Zealand and australia before they play the game. You can really see the passion 😊

Rugby is through and through a gentleman’s sport, it’s rough and hard when they are playing but as soon as the whistle blows everyone of those players on that field will be best of friends

When you said "Who's that guy", it was the only snippet of Rugby League you showed. The rest was all Rugby Union. The guy is Rob Burrow, the tiniest man in the professional game (you would call him 5' 4" and less than 150 lbs) and one of the most exciting stars in Super League for 16 years. He retired in 2017, became the Academy coach at his only ever club, Leeds, and was then diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The occasion you saw was a very emotive benefit game early in 2019 for him and the family he's going to leave behind, of which he could then still play the last 5 minutes, not as of old, but he could still run out as you saw. The game included many retired Leeds players putting their boots on again for Rob. Now he's in a wheelchair and his speech has been particularly badly affected. His decline has been very rapid, and it has only one sad end, as there is next to nothing medicine can do about MND. The whole of Rugby League has come together in his support, his family's, and to raise money for MND research. Not the most glittering RL in this clip, but there are quite a few rather old men there! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6hfduNbDb4.html So here's one of his "how did he do that" tries in his prime: and an interview with Rob in September this year: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dVCQp420GvA.html

rugby is my fav sport , im scottish ( but live in wales) rugby is like the main sport in wales, there crazy for it !!! as long as scotland and wales beat England all is good :)

Jasmine you should join your country's women rugby team

A true gentlemen's game. Rugby is not only played with brawn, but with heart too.

its not a handshake, its a drill that forwards do where they bash their shoulders together before going onto the field to warm up their shoulders for scrums and tackles

Kia kaha,

Always respect in Rugby, and Alun Wyn Jones? Prince of Wales.

Some backstory on the "Rip Nene" clip (5:08). She was a student who got brutally sexually assaulted and murdered by a post office worker at the post office during broad daylight. She was only 19 years old. It set off a lot of protests here in South Africa about gender based violence.

It'd be great to see you react to this same video in a couple years time. a lot of this video is aimed at existing fans of the game so theres context to a lot of these clips.

Rob Burrows. Oh man, that gets me every time

Both teams form a tunnel for each other to walk through as the teams walk through they are clapped and three cheers are given as a mark of respect. And long may it continue.

the walk though his dune after every match as a mark of respect for the other teams players .

Rugby is a hard game played by gentlemen.

2:10 Rob Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) It affects nerves in the brain and spinal cord.

Thank you miss

2:00 Rob Burrow got diagnosed with motor neurone disease and managed to come back for that game I think.

That's the beauty of Rugby Union - the culture and the spirit so powerful and yes, all about respect!!

It's chivalry. That's where respect amongst warriors comes from.

There'a good quote about rugby "Rugby is thug's sport played by gentlemen while footbal is a gentlemen's sport played by thugs"

For 80 minutes rugby players will genuinely try and kill each other but after the whistles goes, they will shake hands and have a beer together and laugh at what happened on the pitch A thugs game played by gentlemen

They ain`t wrong when they say ` Soccer is a Gentleman game for Thugs, while Rubgy is a Thugs game for Gentleman`

Sony bill Willams won the rugby world cup and gave his medal to this random kid that ran on to the field to try congratulate the All Blacks , and also the Tongans show respect to our haka , those to bumping shoulders were warming up less of a shock to the body when an actual opposition runs into you

Contrary to soccer were the unity of pay is a million per player, rugby has been for a long time an amateur sport. They play for the game not for the money. Rugby is not a worldwide game with enormous billions spent by sponsors (like football or soccer). It's only played in about 12 countries. They regularly play against the same teams, so they are mates in the sport.

I always think the reason rugby is so “violent” is because it is all left on the field. As soon as the final whistle blows the game is over and your opponent is you friend. I’ve seen boys knock 7shades out of each other on the pitch and then spend hours together after the game buying each other beers and laughing away. It’s a game where you have to respect your opponent, the ref, your teammates, your coaches and yourself to play.

Man I love this game

We lined up like that after every game I ever played from school until I got too old and slow to play anymore. Oh and by the way the English rugby players don't fear The Haka, we have a secret weapon its called Morris Dancing😉

A lot of other professional sports could learn from rugby, they go hard for 80 beating each other up then it’s a hug and handshake to say thanks for the battle win or lose

1:50 siya kolisi first black to captain the springboks

Hey! How did little Robin Williams get into the video? 1:22

The clapping happens at the end of every game without fail from school kids all the way to the professionals as it is a sign of respect to the players on the opposite team.

The difference between football and rugby

Hi Jasmine, love your vids. Would you be able to react to the Allblacks Haka

There's a true saying Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen football (soccer) is a gentlemens game played my hooligans lol

Real men do cry

6:50 thats to warm up the shoulders

Please react to Cheslin Kolbe highlights

🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🌈🙏

It would help if she had any clue as to the context of most of this.

'Without respect this isn't a game' written on many changing room walls and across our hearts when we play, the key word is play, because thats what kids do, we dont really grow up if we play. Now if you want to see something special there is a clip somewhere of 2 teams after a world cup match getting to gether on the pitch, taking a knee and praying together, a touching heartfelt moment, which to this day has never ever been seen on any football pitch. Ask anyone in your comments section how true that is, its another reason why we love this sport, and the drinking :)

I've been here too

Do you react to music?

Where was the thumbnail in this!? Messed up straight up.

Please watch more of our sport! We love it, we are passionate about it. Respect is the game!

Warriors are true gentlemen

If there is no respect there is no rugby!

You are stunning xxxx

The music was Legends Never Die from League of Legends wtf

I played championship high school rugby in South-Africa and it ain’t necessarily for thugs. It’s just physical!

Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen and soccer is a gentlemen's game played by hooligans

In rugby there´s respect on and off the field. The battle is on the pitch. Springbok fan World Champions

Every game . The winning side make what we call a tunnel and clap the losing side off first . Out of respect for the game and the effort .

Try reat to BIG BILLY BEAST KIKAU Viliame kikau

The harder the sport, the greater the respect.
