@iangraham871 Год назад

The game changed for the worse when it went professional with the "avoid losing at all costs" attitude, which led to teams consisting of 15 props who can't tackle properly but somehow stop the opposition advancing. The speed and athleticism of all the players was a joy to behold in this video - but most violent of all time?? No way, and no need to dress it up as such.

@davidspendlove5900 Год назад

Is it me or is the rugby from this period just better.Lower tackles better rucks , more handling skills , and all this from amateurs.

@darthmong7196 Год назад

Thing is, to my knowledge, none of the guys from this period have suffered with dementia or from long-term effects of concussion. They weren't giant mutants who hit guys for a job; they were regular guys who had to be back at work on Monday morning. Food for thought.

Lower tackles means the hands are free to offload. I think a tackler would seek to prevent that.

@ldfreitas9437 Год назад

Yes! Now there are a few clubs that aren't cutting it financially, because top players have to be paid to play since 1995. Beforehand, one played for the fun of it, not for financial reward, and if there was any reward, it was in the form of a job, car, maybe a place to live (France), maybe some Ls (sorry, I'm in America) in the boot (Wales). And in America, there were once semi-pro teams of various sports, like basketball, American football, softball, mostly company teams, and they'd have been considered professionals by the Rugby Union.

@thadtuiol1717 Год назад

I love that most of the players back then (with the exception of a few 'shamateurs') were just ordinary blokes working day jobs, who you could often just have a drink with after a game, and I include even the internationals players. Everything felt so much more real back then, like you were part of a community.

@tmdillon1969 Год назад

I started playing in 93. My college team had a clubhouse and a few imported rugby magazines. There was an advert with Brian Moore's face bearing his teeth with the caption "It's not the winning, it's the taking apart." I think it was a Nike ad. I tried to get the poster for years but never could. I find it interesting that all these years later with all those speed and strength programs test rugby isn't as flowing and fast as this game. You'd think the opposite would be true. However, I think some Pro 14 and Premiership rugby games have more style and flow.

This is absolutely brilliant rugby. The running, rucking, teamwork etc. Loads of very hard tackling, but that's fine. Anyone who watched games like this fell in love with rugby. One thing though. Look at 3.00. Completely unacceptable and it was people like him who were a disgrace to the game. I'm Glad we're away from that era. Thugs hiding under the mantra of "hardmen" or "enforcers". Its a shame as loads of class players had their moments of brilliance overshadowed by brawls or skullduggery which of course were "part of the game" according to the blazers scoffing the free buffet. Even back then, I had a read through the rule book and couldn't find anything about allowing that. Was the amateur era brilliant to play and watch - absolutely. Do I look back on the behaviour of certain people with rose tinted glasses - certainly not.

@thomasprobert3290 Год назад

@neilcarpenter2669 Год назад

There's a lot to admire about the modern professional player and there are some great games, however I have to admit that I preferred the game in this era it was Raw and was decided by players rather than officials interpretation of the laws , bring back rucking already.

@britishpatriot812 Год назад

I was at Headingley in the early eighties when he was progressing through First XV, Yorkshire, Northern Division, England, British Lions. I had the great honour to be barged out of the way by him many times at the back of the line out at training. In a different game against France he had an interesting tussle with Jean Pierre Rives. His brother Michael was a decent player too. I only saw them play together once, they played left and right as opposed to open and blind side. That may have been the same game against Liverpool when Kenny Higgins (Headingley, Yorkshire) caught Mike Slemen from behind for a try saving tap tackle.

@scarfo Год назад

Because the choke tackle wasn't a thing, forwards were a lot smaller, and you were allowed to clear players out by basically using your body as a missile. Teams also used chaos as a weapon whereas now it's much more about structure.

@14nst3w4rt Год назад

The rules for rucking were different. Once the tackler was on the ground no hands could be used (legally). The ball was rucked (scraped) back with the studs of your boots. Whatever was on the floor got rucked back... if it was the ball or another player! none of this jackelling to close off the ruck.

@sd3457 Год назад

Because back in those days, the team going forwards got the ball if it didn't come out. That meant the defensive focus had to be on stopping momentum, not trying to steal or kill the ball. For my money, getting rid of the "team going forward" law was the single worst change in the history of the game.

Hey? One thing that puzzles me? I grew up in NZ in the 80s playing rugby as a kid. Every single damn kid in town played rugby, whether you were a regular sport Billy or an absolute unco geek. There was a soccer team. But those guys were just weird. Also half of them played rugby aswell. What I'm getting at is, Why is soccer so popular and the mainstream sport in the UK? I mean, rugby is clearly more fun, it's physical for starters, you get to physically smash your mates or some random kid from another town or school and it's all perfectly legal. Why in the world would you choose Not to play this awesome fun and glorious game and instead play a game that the good Lord clearly invented purely as a womens only participation game? Why is Rugby or Rugby League Not the dominant sport in the UK?
