Rugby is mostly technique… knowing where and when to hit , the positioning of the head in the tackle, is key. I’ve played since I was 5 years old, only a couple of injuries, and all my fault for wrong technique.

If you put together an entire video of heavy tackles it's going to look extreme and dangerous. Watching a full game with some understanding of the rules is a completely different experience. It's a great sport

Best one is the GOAT. The late Jonah Lomu. 6”5’, 265lb and 10.8 for the 100m.

Jona Lomu an All Black (New Zealand) was 1.95 metres (6' 5") tall and weighed 125 kgs (275 lbs) he could run the 100 metres in Olympic time and a Wallaby ( Australian ) was expected to stop him. He had a kidney transplant because of nephrotic syndrome but made a limited comeback. You have to admire such a man, even though he was the opposition. He sadly died in 2015, a great loss. Jona could have played any game he wanted, including American football, and made a lot of money, but he played rugby for the love of it.

veteran Royal Navy, played for the U21s Royal Navy RFC, we had the US Navy come to Portsmouth, and we invited them for a game, crew vs crew, they turned up to the pitch with NFL pads, when we said they are not wearing those on the pitch, they didn't want to have a game with us lol

There's a saying among the Rugby fans here in the UK (Specifically my country Wales since Rugby here is like a religion) "Football (soccer) is 90 minutes of pretending you're hurt, Rugby is 80 minutes pretending you're not"

former rugby player, i always found it funny that americans think nfl is tough, always wondered why america is so sure of itself, not in a hate kind of way, but more in the "just how?" kind of way

We play a game called Scrag at schools in NZ. It's basically rugby without rules, where anything goes. Not for the feint of heart. I remember all the brawls we had during my school years where the teachers had to separate all the fighters. Women's rugby is just as aggressive.

Respect for you men for looking at something new. Congrats from a guy who played rugby in Scotland, Ireland and France👍 Keep posting 👍👍👍

You can react to the 100th and 101st game highlights between All Blacks and South Africa. It's been back and forth between them for years

If you gonna watch an individual player it has to be the legend himself Jonah Lomu

"This guy" is Alesana Tuilagi. You must react to Tuilagi brothers, they are not less than 6 tanks, all of them rugby players.

I'm a former rugby player, and I'd do that (if I could) for the rest of my life, it's great. it was a saying in the past, it was said "it is a game of hooligans ,practiced by gentlemens". And the best player in the world from all times was Jonah Lomu...Unfortunately, he is no longer with us now.

fact: if you go to a rugby match you will hear trucks ramming each other every play :)

The guy you said is in the highlights alot the number 11 for France is an absolute animal.. he called Sebastien Chabal

A real man's game.. I started playing when I was about 7 years old

The tackle laws are ever changing to protect players from head injuries. Some ex international players are showing signs of the early onset of dementia. Rugby players are much bigger and more powerful than they used to be.

In New Zealand growing up we use to play a game called Hits where one person runs it straight at another person and the other person has to try and tackle them while the person with the ball has to try run straight through them. Where the term “run it straight” was coined.

There is a court case currently going on in the UK involving recently retired rugby players suing their federations because they are now suffering from signs of early dementia in their 40s. While I personally think the risks must be obvious considering you have 250-pound+ guys smashing into each other for 80 mins every weekend during a full season over a 10 to 15 year career, it shows how much long-term damage the tackles you see in these videos can make. I don’t know the situation in NFL but maybe those helmets and pads are a good idea in the long-term.

MUST REACT to Rugby respect moments! Love the reaction bro. (although we go 80 minutes of full on contact we all show respect to each other!)

Back then in NRL you could use just a shoulder with no arms involved. But more players suffered brain injuries So now you have to wrap your arms around their torso to make it a legitimate tackle. Also nothing above the chest otherwise its a “high tackle” and a penalty

Watch someone like Jonah Lomu, who was Rugbys first Superstar. From what I remember he got offered to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. Watch Jarryd Hay e highlights who was the PR, Running Back for 49ers during their pre season. Worth a watch

Some of these passes are where the expression "hospital pass" comes from. You receive that pass - and you're going straight to hospital...

In my old days playing rugby bk hm in fiji, the last time I remember when I was carrying a ball, and when I woke up I was in the hospital with my c.bone pop out and broken jaw. My doctor said that I'm off the field for about one to two years. But my doctor couldn't believe that I start playing rugby again in two weeks after injury. My mom gave some bush medicine. Until today, my c.bone still off position, but it's more stronger than b4.

Watching them call Sevu Reeces high tackle at around 4:00 explains why tackling in Rugby is much better than in American football. Rugby is more about getting your man, football is more about the hit.

Yet there's way less concussion or head injuries in rugby compared to NFL!!! Great reaction vid

I have a friend, he was not a professional Rugby player but he did play back in the day. He is the strongest person I know by a long way. He carried 2 50 kilo beer barrels into my family bar like they were news papers. I'm just glad he's my friend. I saw him pick a big guy up threw him on the bar and knocked fuck out of him. That shit was scary.

Rugby is a game for real men, they don't need to be wrapped up in protective gear like those who play American football.

To be fair, in NZ we start playing rugby from the age of 5yrs, it's our national sport, Sir Wayne "Buck" Shelford will always be a Rugby football legend for going into a maul, losing 3 teeth and having his scrotum slashed with 1 of his nuts exposed, he went onto the sideline, had his nuts sticked up and went back on to play...bloody kiwis for ya eh man 🤘🤘

Most of these tackles are illegal - you can’t go in with your shoulder. You have to tackle correctly with both arms and not high. A lot of red cards in this vid.

Hello gentleman, there are no rules in rugby! They are called “the laws” of rugby.

Farrell with the illegal shoulder blocks, Faf De Klerk, tiny, insane and awesome.

Friend1: what does it feel like running into a brick wall? Friend2: try and tackle that rugby player. Friend1: alright what does it feel like being hit by a truck? Friend2: take this ball and run at the defence. 3 months later. Friend1: I can finally move my fingers.

If your going to react to individual players/ you should definitely react to Joe Marler. He's a very well know prop, who is incredible funny and delivers some very big hits. In a previous video you pointed out he has no neck (Nurses React To The Dark Side Of Rugby), a lot of the lads call him hunchback.

The US needs rugby players, go find your local team and have some fun. Guaranteed you will love it and get really fit. KZfaq clips are just the 0.1% of the game. Really enjoy your reactions. And yeah, Jonah, what a star. Changed the game.

Great to see you guys back with se rugby. Please React go rugbys biggest rivals Springboks vs All blacks round 6 in the Rugby championship for the world no 1 spot

You should watch Cheslin Kolbe highlights

Alisana Tuilagi. That's the guy that keeps coming up!

I used to play rugby for my high school in the 90's and although it looks brutal, it's more a pounding on your body than your head, any tackle above the neck is illegal you'll get a yellow card (sin bin, which is you're off for 10 minutes) or a red card (sent off permanently) it's one reason why CTE isn't a big issue in Rugby compared to the NFL, nobody tries to hit with their head unless they're a psychopath, and tackling-wise you use your shoulder and learn where to put your head pretty quickly to make sure it's out of the way, as long as someone tackles below the neck they can hit you as hard as they want and visa-versa

I've said this before on another channel. A lot of these clips were taken before all of the rule changes. These were introduced with player welfare in mind. So, a high percentage of these hits would end up with a yellow card, which is 10 minuets on the side lines, or as we call it, in the bin. Or, as some of these hits were more like an assault rather than a tackle, you receive a straight red. Off you go ! In general terms that can lead to a suspension of between 3 & 6 weeks. Just because there have rule changes it is still a game NOT for the faint hearted. Good to see how you guys react to Rugby Union. There is another version of the game which is Rugby League, you will see some tough stuff there as well. Stay safe & greeting from the UK,😁👍👍

Every kid in my area had to play rugby in school for at least 1 hr a week during school time, starting in the Autumn, through the winter and Spring. Us Welsh kids are brought up tough :)

6:15 HOSPITAL PASS DETECTED!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well done! Greetings from 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇸🇪

Hey great videos! Whats the intro song man? Its great...

Love your Rugby Reactions. That’s how I found your channel. The Tuilagi brothers you might like. Samoan Heavy Hitters is another good one. Thanks for your reactions.

Y'all should check out SA High School rugby highlights. If you think these international professionals are bringing the heat then you ought to watch the youngins.

Most of these were legal, but some look like red cards and long suspensions. You have to tackle below the shoulder, wrap your arms around the ball carrier, and be careful not to lift and pile-drive them. Hitting someone in the air is a serious offence - trying to hurdle the tackler is banned as well. In American Football, you can tackle in the air, hurdle, tackle high, spear, hit low without wrapping and a host of stuff that would get you sent off in rugby. In every NFL game I watch there are tackles that make me cringe - much more danger of spinal injury or serious concussion in your game. If I had a kid, I wouldn't want them to play the game, to be honest. If they want to reduce neurological injury, the NFL should look at the tackle laws in rugby. It looks brutal, but in practice it's objectively safer.

you should definitely react to "rugby till I collapse" !

3:01 I like how they think he’s down and he don’t realize he just scored 😂😅

You should all watch rugby's 50 funniest moments, it is well worth watching.

Best rugby fights

Rugby? It’s brilliant! 80 minutes of. Kick off, catch, ruck, mail, lineout, tackle, run the ball, tackle. Once done this? Get up and do it again! 😅

At school we had to play rugby, cricket and English football With a blindfolded if we had any sight to be the same as the totally blind at our blind school but the game that was the most scary was goal ball played with a big hard ball with bells in.

In South africa, we play rugby very early in school and incredibly popular...

LMAO.... Held up arm tackles and half speed collisions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the only protection rugby players have is a gum shield

A lot of those tackles would be straight reds now.

Joe Marler - sang Adele on the Jonathan Ross Show (very funny). Know for being a bit of a loose canon, gets into quite a few fights and very funny character.

a number of these hits are deemed illegal play in the game and result in being yellow carded

rugby is a gentleman's sport..

And JOOST tackled LOMU and was half his size.Lomu never got a single try against the boks for the SPRINGBOK engine room is the most formadible in rugby history!MOUNTAINS

Search Dump tackles you won't be disappointed, glad you like Rugby, I've recently got into American football and wish I would have got into it ealier in life .....both amazing sports

Hey man i know us Aussies tend to give you guys some shit about our footy vs your football but respect both ways man, i feel like yours is a much more nimble game which deserves respect for your ability to change directions on a dime plus your quick thinking must be on another level. We do use mouth guards altho with some of the hits you see, they just come flyin out or in my case, due to the aggression and me being a front row when i was playing i used to chew thru my mouth guard every other game so i stopped wearing them. If you need some names man Mel Meninga, Jonah Lomu, Sam Backo, Fatty Vaughton, Andrew Ettinghousen, Gary Hancock, Alan Langer and ofc the king, Wally Lewis would all be some good blokes to look in to, kinda old school coz im an older fella but most of those guys i mentioned are either big blokes and hit hard, super fast or just really good all rounders. All the best lads hope you enjoy!

I don't know what level you guys play football at but there is a crossover program in colorado, where they take football players and wrestlers etc that didn't quite make the pros and train them to play in a semi pro team. Always another option to look into.

People to watch RUGBY Jonah Lomu - The man who changed the game! Daniel Carter - The guy who made the game. Richie McCaw Rene Ranger Ma'a Nonu Rugby League Shaun Johnson Roger Tuivasa scheck

You should react to “the worst hospital passes”, every tackle a blind side.

Watching individual players then Brian odriscoll is your man to watch

Hay que aguantarse todo un partido de Rugby, y realmente es muy duro. Totalmente diferente al futbol americano

Thanks for the videos man. I'm from South Africa. If you want to watch an individual from my country check out "Bakkies Botha - Rugby's Biggest Thugs". Absolute monster on the field and someone not to be messed with in the slightest. He would sort you out if you touch him when you are not suppose to.

Rugby is a real man's sport no pading or helmets

I once watched a game and the teams were in a scrum. One of the guys stood up, spat two teeth out and got back into the scrum

I remember Jaremy Clarkson's words about Rugby: Rugby is somewhat like American Football, but is played by Men!!! not Cowards in Armor (I should Clarify)

Bro i had 3 concussions...broken arm stiches in my toes twice in my head and on my chin and hand but damb i love this game..imma die doing this

We played rugby from age 6years in school boys and girls played on the same teams great days

defs should react to Fiji players and Jonah lomu 💕💁🏽‍♀️

Rugby is great. I've broken 6 ribs , 1 collar bone, 1 scapula , 2 slipped discs, fractured knee cap and tibia. Still worth it. Proper sport

Sonny Bill Williams big hits NRL good watch

We are normally taught the proper techniques of tackling, whether we're tackling the upper body or legs we're taught in such a way where we don't injure ourselves in the process .

Fyi, Rugby is a sport dominated by the UK, South Africa, Australia, and the entire PACIFIC

Give Brian O’Driscoll a watch he was an amazing player

You boys like this?! Y'all should watch Wheelchair Rugby! Or Sled Hockey!

You guys need to do rugby till I collapse

As an ex rugby union player 20 years ago I’m pleased to see laws stopping stamping on heads, straight arm tackles, and hopefully soon everyone wearing skull caps. I snapped my right knee and 10 operations later I still can’t walk properly. I love the American football and watch it as often as possible, however I get a bit confused with the plays?????????? I suppose they take a lot of time to learn. Peace be with you guys and safe playing

Whatever it takes homie. That’s what it takes.

I find it funny how Americans react to our footy like bro we’ve been doing this since we were 7 in the street with the boys

New Zealand all blacks ..best team in world ..watch their pre game Hakka ....a player named jona lomus was a man mountain and an incredible player who died at aged 42 ...tragic x

Our boys wear gum shields lol.

Agree technique is the winner. NFL could learn something - if they want to. The main purpose of rugby is to train soldiers how to fight for your team mates. If you do that, and carry out your mission, then your team mates will live. If you don’t. You let your whole team down. That’s why this is the perfect soldier sport

you gotta react to nascar crashes, theyre insane

It's the rooks and scrums that scare me more than the hits

What you don't see are illegal tackles. You don't want to be seeing those. The tackles in the video look really hard - and they are but there is a technique to tackling. Most of them just get back up and carry on. Serious injury is rare. I was blessed with speed and I just kept running lol.

Its not too bad where injuries are concerned. I played when i was younger. Most weeks was bumps n bruises. Worst i got was broken neck, dislocated shoulder and an occasional concussion but get it fixed and back on the field with a reasonably short time. Didnt leave the field with the shoulder injury. Just shuffled the scrum position i played Watch the Womens rugby hilites video. Some hard women out there

Look up Shaun Johnson Touch Football highlights for some schooling on foot work boys

Rugbyatchbis easy to start hard to stop and can never be forgotten

React to the All Black vs USA Eagles highlights - a game that happened about a week ago or to Jason Taumalolo highlights - he's a beast!

Rugby league is where the big hits are.

Must REACT: (UK DRILL) react wit yo boys! Abra Cadabra: Mixed Emotions, Spin this coupe, Daily Duppy(2021), On Deck Digga D: 2k17 and No diet Tion Wayne: Wid it and I dunno

Yo man coming from the UK! Someone you need to watch is the honeybager, he’s a nutcase!

I have played a lot of rugby at university, but never got injured. But oh for an American pacifier! 😀

Sit your selves down with a cold beer and watch any footage of the late, great, Jonah Lomu, possibly the best Rugby player ever. ❤️
