"Why don't these guys play in the NFL?" Rugby is played at top international level in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Argentina. American "football" is played at the top level in the USA and ... that's it. Besides that, top rugby players can pass, run, tackle and kick at elite levels, for two 40 minute halves of continuous play. What position would one of those guys play in the NFL to make full use of those skills and attributes? That's why these guys don't play in the NFL. Look, we all know that you're conditioned to believe that the world only has real significance within the US of A, but think it through man.

I'm a Springbok supporter, but I'll admit that the All Blacks are probably the best attacking team in the world. But when the play the Springboks, they have to deal with the best defensive team in the world.

The All Blacks have the abilty to keep the ball alive and they are playing explosive rugby. All the love from South Africa.

As Bok supporter the stress levels always go up when we play the ABs. They have the best offensive play in Rugby.

The All Blacks no 11 you should watch is Jonah Lomu. The first Rugby Super star of the Professional era. RIP big man.

In France we are not afraid by the all blacks but we respect us and we enjoy to play with them because they are always tough matches but with fair play and even if sometimes the referee can help us win a match against them I have never heard a New Zealander complain even if sometimes they could have . A great team for a great people

NZ All Black Sir Wayne "Buck" Shelford will always a rugby football legend for the 1986 injury he sustained in a match against France, while still an amateur player (no sponsorship or endorsements) 20mins into the match he was involved in a very aggressive maul where he lost 4 teeth and a french players boot tore open his scrotum leaving his testicle exposed. He calmly left the field, asked the team doc to stitch him up and he went back on the field to play. Now that's hard core 🤘🤘

As a South African and Springbok supporter we support our rival against anyone because we in the southern hemisphere only the Springboks can give the All Blacks a game other than that they are as good as the Springboks, they watch our games and we watch their games they 3 times world champions and we the Springboks are 4 times world champions

It's called a try for historical reasons. In the early days of rugby touching the ball over the goal line allowed you to "try to kick a goal. It was about 1900 that the authorities decided to award a try its own points value.

The most winning team in sports history. In Rugby they have put 50+ on every tier one side.

USA vs All Blacks 2021 Rugby highlights (1874 cup) is a must watch💪🏼

Yeah season ending tackles in the the NFL, are are absorbed 50 times a game per player in rugby union. Australia does ok in this sport but the All Blacks play on a whole other planet. Its a cultural game that is played from a very young age in Nz. Ruck, mall, and tackle and that just getting to the bar.

our rugby style came about many years ago,we wanted to play with speed and skill, end result is the same for all that time, we want to play fast rugby is the bottom line. our speed is what usually confounds other sides, in recent years our strength came more into it, though having said that we were always a pretty staunch breed going back to the colin meads days in the 60's.

If you wanna know how tough the All Blacks have always been, check out Buck Shelford. What happened to Buck in one game would put out an NFL player for a season.

Hey bro good watch. Funny how you were saying punched him, technically it’s called a fend when pushing of a defending player. I’m proud of our boys, legendary team. And yes I’m a kiwi (New Zealander) 👍 Great game rugby. Keep up the vids

AllBlacks will be playing Fiji at SnapDragon Stadium San Diego 17 July And yes. ABs definitely exciting to watch.

There were many different 11’s in this video. In rugby the number on your jersey refers to your position on the field. So whoever was playing as the winger in the particular game was number 11

The reason it is called a try is because in the original rules if you touched the ball down in the in goal area it wasn't worth points but you then got to try to score points by converting your efforts into points by kicking the ball between the posts. The rules then changed to the touching down of the ball becoming worth points and the kick after was extra points, but the original names remained.

You'd make a great Rugby commentator. Your quips are hilarious and appropriate for the game.😆

Why is a score in american football called a touchdown when they don't have to touch it down!!

It's called a "try" because originally, up to when I was a kid, it was worth three points. (Probably should really be written "tri") Then it was changed to four point for a few years before being changed again to five points, where it remains today.

As a New Zealander it cracks me up to hear you say "oh their out for the season" no no they get back straight back up and keep playing

I BET THAT NO TEAM FROM THE NFL COULD EVEN HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST ANY OF THESE RUGBY TEAMS, SPECIALLY THE NEW ZEALAND ALL BLACKS

Rugby is played in schools from a young age in NZ.

Good Job bro luv Ur Rugby-Reactions keep-it-up!!!!

I'm an Australian and I lived in New Zealand and the All Blacks are like the Beatles but there is 15 of them.

Nick from nz. What the hell kick was that? It's known as a grubber kick used to gain advantage. NFL throws the ball forward, but in rugby, you can only pass back, so the grubber kick is used as a quarterback throw for the recever.

That number 11 is Caleb Clark the son of another All Black Orini Clarke he of the beautiful smile he will be one of the best

Who is Jonah Lomu???? I think u should look into it, maybe the best rugby player of all time...If you want to see something you've never seen before watch his funeral, something special

I would suggest that the All Blacks are consistently one of the best teams in the world, but Most Feared may go to the Springboks, they are definitely consistently one of the most physical.

Rugby Union is not a sport in NZ, it is a religion. The All Blacks are not a National team they are the high priests of Rugby. Some are even the saints of Rugby.

You've got a try and a touchdown confused. They are not the same. With a try, the ball MUST be pressed to the ground over the try line. That's why you see players diving across the line - it's so they cant be tackled in that last second or two, and the ball is automatically pressed (called "forced" in rugby terms) to the ground. It also makes a difference whereabouts the ball is forced - that dictates where the ball is kicked from. That's where it gets into converting the try - another subject.

The HAKA is a CHALLENGE to the opposing team. Watch videos of the late JONA LOMU all Kiwis would say he was our best.

I played rugby from the age of 5yrs till my mid 40s when I shattered 3 vertebrae in my neck, I get bummed out every winter because I can't play anymore

Different class bro These guys would destroy the NFL

The most successful sports team in the world. Facts.

"Who's that Hobbit?" That man was Japanese, so congratulations on offending an entire nation. They might be smaller on average but they play awesome rugby, giving it everything they've got.

Rugby: Body protection NOT required.

“why aren’t these guys in the nfl” because they’re already in the best sport in the world😆😆

They are really scary for real

Tryed watching your NFL but to slow and stop start and to many adds rugby 80 minutes of fun

Twenty countries play American Football to some level Over a hundred have rugby union leagues and international teams.

please react to south african schoolboy rugby

This guy is funny af

Mate we grew up playing this game the same way as kids , through to adult hood , No fear play to win.

Bro it took Ireland 111 yrs to win there first game against the All Blacks

You should check out SA school rugby

Why aren't they in NFL? Because they like to get a game done in a day. New Zealand has a long history of very big, very fast wings (No 11 and the like) : John Kirwan, Va'aiga Tuigamala, Jonah Lomu, et al. The list goes on.

That was Australian. For Kiwi you need to tighten your mouth and make your ee sounds into ih sounds. Think of Oz as American and Kiwi as English in terms of mouth shape.

You need to do a video on jonah lomu from the new zealand rugby team

That right there is how you do a reaction video 🎉🎉🎉❤

Rugby players are different athletes from NFL players. There is way more endurance involved in Rugby. You play with very limited stoppages and transition from attack into defence fluidly. It means that rugby players need to be versatile athletes balancing power, endurance and speed. NFL is more specified in every way. It is about high twitch power and speed as plays are mostly like 20s max and then the players get a rest. They give 100% for that time. But defence rests during offence etc. Rugby Players have moved over to the NFL with limited success and never top rugby players until Louis Reece Zamit from Wales this year. It will be very interesting for all sports to watch the World Class Rugby Player giving the NFL a crack. He is currently in the Chiefs practice squad through the international players pathway. Overall in my opinion nfl players are conditioned to be freak athletes in short bursts and rugby players are not. They would not be as effective in the NFL. Similarly NFL players would need to work at developing a broad skill set and endurance performance which is a whole different game. Linebackers, TEs and DEs are probably the position best suited for a code switch to Rugby.

If you watch a game or two of rugby the commentators give the rules as they report so its the best way to pick up the rules.

A good all black player was Jonah Lomu

The All Blacks and springboks have dominated rugby forever. No other country has one a World Cup since 2003. The All Blacks definitely have the edge in win percentage as they have won 62 games vs the springboks while the springboks have won 40. However the springboks have recently surpassed them in World Cup wins, winning last years championship. Also if you want to look at some incredible rugby games check out either New Zealand v Ireland QF, France vs South Africa QF or New Zealand vs South Africa Final.

The NFL is populated by 7 foot whimps ! Sorry but I had to get that out there !

fiji rugby you cant miss out on that

Love it lol. Go put you pads on haha that was good. Try watching rugby for beginners: A guide to the rules of Rugby might help you with learning the game better

That number 4 unit is 6'8"

Bro you need to react to all blacks vs USA

Let's go mate 😂

The All Blacks have beaten the Springboks 72 times to 35…

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isuEdZx_yafDdmw.htmlsi=_zVXF_3OCHl5xd3G probably the best explanation of Rugby laws, specifically in American Football terms. Rugby is by far the superior sport to NFL IMO.. but then I'm biased, I played for 30 years, in itself something unlikely to happen in football.

If you want to increase your views and reactions to your reactions then you need to review the AFL (Australian Football League)

Why is a touchdown called a touchdown when you don't touch it down.??.. dr Zeus your way out of that ya Fud....😂

South Africans laughing at this video right now 🤣. I'd bench both those wings for Kolbe and Arendse. Oh yes they in fact got schooled by them in the finals 🤣

ABs are the shit. SA is also amazing. Just different styles. Both make the other GREAT 💪🏾💪🏾

And they don't wear padding an helmets either Real Men

do fiji

The 2 best teams in the world are South Africa and NZ

South Africa does not fear the AB's or any team.

BOKS all the way at No.1

Try? …because by touching down the ball in your opponents in goal you get to “ try” to kick a goal and hence convert your try to full points! Duh!!!

Your disrespectful with some of your comments. You wouldn't last 2 seconds in school boy rugby but if you want to talk number 11 there's only one name JONAH LOMU

Why would amazing rugby players who play for their country go to an American sport unless they’re sellouts. Lol no disrespect to NFL but these boys were brought up and bred to play rugby for their nations.

why would an all black want to play American football???? rugby is so much better to watch than boring NFL

A great rugby country. But not feared.

They are a great team and have been consistently BUT there is no such team as New Zealand, there is a team that should be called New Zealand and the best of the South sea islanders ...

They're not in the NFL because rugby is better :P (also they are too different a game and the cross over doesnt often work)

Learn the rules... otherwise, your just watching collisions...

To do what on nfl why are you not on your own ladyboy game nfl?

Do you lie a lot? Why else would you continually be assuring people 'I'm not gonna lie'?

You should first learn more about rugby and then appreciate the other 95% of the world's view of the NFL.

do rugby in general there is much better videos

sorry man but your commentary blows. I found it unpleasant to listen to, especially watch. But the worst thing to have to sit through on this one is your ignorance of the game, it's rules and aims.

interesting mate can i say rugby is rugby as nfl is nfl as kiwi nfl is impressive and im a fan like you i dont compare respective sport merely enjoy and appreciate the athletes and the games whatever it may be,.

The Springboks are the most feared and greatest tram of all time... go ask the world
