I like how it never occurs to americans that this is where american football comes from 😂

A touchdown in Rugby is called a 'try'. And the head protection some of them wear is called scrum caps. It's to prevent cauliflower ear/cuts/getting your ears ripped off.

Touch down is a "Try". Never called a Touch down. You guys called it a try once

when they score its called a TRY.

When I was at school, we had to wear protection, a gum shield. Damn health and safety nutters!!

American Football is a show! Rugby is a passion!

American football 🏈, evolved From Rugby 🏉, which started at Rugby in England 🇬🇧.

touching the ball down in the end goal area scores a try (5 points) after the try is scored a conversion kick(2 points) is taken in line with where the ball was placed on the ground in the goal area making a converted try worth (7 points). In the distant past a try was only to give you the shot at kicking the ball over the crossbar between the posts. A conversion is a uncontested shot at the poles. A penalty scores (3 points) and is given for contravention of the laws (another story for another time) at the place where the infringement took place. Sometimes it is close enough to kick uncontested for the poles or the option can be taken to gain field territory by kicking for the sidelines out of play( touchline) where the kicking team gets the advantage to restart the game( a line out where the ball is thrown into play). There are a lot more laws for this part. A drop kick is (3 points) and gets taken by a team member whilst being pressurized by the opponents so it is contested and a skill trained for over a long time. Anyway there are a number of laws for the game this might help with the scoring issues. It has never been called a touch down but is the reason NFL refers to it as a touch down due to the having to touch the ground in the goal (endzone area)

No one calls it a touch down, when you score in Rugby it's called a TRY

People in the scrum (called Forewards) rub heads when in the scrum, so they wear the hats for some padding for the head and ears, or they just have some gaffer tape with a bandage to protect their ears.

Y'all are definitely going to love this. it's basically jukes but we call them "side steps" or step for short. Enjoy

A try is worth 5 points and gives the scoring team an attempt at a conversion kick (inline with where the try was scored, making a try underneath the posts more beneficial than a try in the corner, as you'll have an easier shot at the conversion kick) The conversion kick is worth 2 points (converting the "5 point try" to a "7 point converted try"). The converted kick only happens after a try. The ball can hit the post, but MUST cross the goal line between the two vertical posts and above the horizontal post, as with any successful goal kicking attempt) Failure to score the conversion leaves you earning just the 5 points (for the try) There's a penalty kick, worth 3 points. This is an uncontested place kick at the posts (placing the ball on the ground, taking a run up and kicking) and happens after the opposing team commits a worthy foul. This penalty kick is usually one of a few options available to the attacking team upon receiving the penalty and must take place where the foul was committed. If a team doesn't feel they are in a position to score this way (too far away, bad angle, poor kicking form etc) they may choose another option. Then there's a "drop goal" worth 3 points. This is when a player intentionally drops the ball to their foot and kicks it as soon as it hits the grass. It can happen at any time during open play but the opposing team will be looking for it and can contest the kick (either by blocking/charge down, or just flat out tackling the player that's about to kick), and the kicking technique is required. You can't just hoof the ball out of your hands. Oh, there's also a thing called a penalty try, where a defending team intentionally commits a foul worthy of a penalty, where the attacking team would have scored beyond doubt had the foul not been committed. These are usually awarded near the try line, are awarded based heavily on referees judgement (would the try have been scored, or would it be unclear) and usually result in the offending player receiving a yellow card (10 minutes on the bench) . Penalty Tries are automatically converted to 7 points without the need for the attacking team to attempt the conversion. TL; DR don't concede Penalty Tries.

If you score a 'try' by touching down on or behind the goal line it is 5 points to your team; you then have the chance to take the conversion kick through the uprights from level with where the try was touched down to earn 2 more points. Additionally a penal kick at the goal can be awarded for a penalty offence, if successful that is 3 points. Lastly any ball-carrier can attempt a 'drop goal' at the posts by dropping the ball and kicking it on the 'half-volley' (as it bounces) between the uprights for 3 points.

The majority of world's most popular sports are of English or UK origins. The most played sport on Earth is Football. (Soccer). Invented in the UK. Golf, Tennis, Football, Rugby, Cricket, Rounders / Baseball, Boxing Rules, Horse Racing Rules, Table Tennis, Darts, Snooker, Hockey, Squash and Badminton. The US invented Basketball. Some US sports are derived from UK origins of a sport. These are American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey.

I’d like to see my guy in the middle try playing rugby it’s non stop running back n forth for 2 40min halves and there’s no timeouts the game never stops till it’s finished 😂

The ball can only be passed to a player behind the ball carrier. The ball can be kicked forward and the kicker may run and collect his own kick, Or a team mate may collect it but the rule still applies a player can only pass to a player behind. So the team mate that collects the ball must be behind the kicker when he kicks the ball or he will be deemed offside,

Hi. Guys. Friendly suggestion. Consider inviting a guest who knows more about the rules as you watch... Could make for some good content.

We have a USA Team - there are teams of 11 and teams of 7 - The 7's are really fast. They have a Worldwide tournament every spring in Vegas.

Its called a try every time they score. See when they put the ball down to score theres where the term touch down comes from

The American League is call the MLR ( Major League Rugby) it’s on its 5th year. It’s actually on at the moment.

those hats that some of the players wear are called SCRUM CAPS. its worn to protect the player/players from having their ears torn off when in a scrum.

plain and simple...when you put the ball down across the line it is a TRY(5 points). After a try you get the opportunity to "convert" it (kicking to post)(2 points, and only if you score a try). If you get a penalty and choose to go for post kicking(im sorry, might be the only whey i know how to explain)...(its worth 3 points) to sum it up ball on the ground (try) 5 points after try go for post (convert) 2 points penalty go for points (ye shit its a penalty) 3 points

They were the"hats" to protect their ears , lots of rugby players get cauliflower ears.

No one calls a "TRY" a touch down. In rugby however, the ball does need to touch the ground in order for a try to be scored. Dotting the ball down is more of a common phrase

absolutely nobody calls it a touchdown, its a "try"

you should watch an All-Blacks game. They are from New Zealand and one of the best in the world.

no touch downs in rugby. only tries.

There is a whole lot of rugby wideos out there. You try watching some of the NZ All Balck rugby team, some of the Fijian rugby players (they just won gold at the olympic games in 7s, which is where you can really see their talent come out) , the OG lord of the wings Jonah Lomu and Nigel Owens : the best ref ever.

Yes, Guys. American Football is similar in some ways to Rugby Union because AF was based on Rugby Union! Rugby Union was introduced to the Ivy league Universities in the US, copying what their equivalent Universities in England played. It caught on and crowds of up to 50,000 would watch US University matches. US sports rubbed their hands with glee. The USA was very good at the sport. A US team, selected from those Ivy League Universities (all amateur), won back-to-back Gold Medals at the Olympics in the 1920's before the full sized game was dropped from the Games. It was re-introduced to the Olympics in the Rugby 7's format in 2016. So, the sporting bodies and individual investors wanted to develop the game beyond Universities. BUT... at that time, Rugby Union was strictly amateur. Meaning, no payments for players. So, the US interest groups decided to breakaway and develop their own game, based on Rugby, to take it Professional. That's why a number of Terms used (like Touchdown, come from rugby where it is required to "touch down" the ball over the line to score.) The initial game was called "Grid Iron". Later changed to American Football but simply referred to as Football by Americans, completely ignoring the worldwide game already played called Football. (It was actually called Association Football, shortened to Football) So it got called Soccer, based on the Association part of the name, in the USA. Ya live and learn, eh? Cheers.

It’s called a try. However in order for a try to be scored. There must be downward pressure on the ball lever the try line. If your foot is in touch. Ie outside the line of field of play and you touch the ball down over the try line. It’s not a try or a score. As a part of your body was off the field of play. Known as in touch.

The score is called a try, and the difference between a try and a touchdown is that in a try ball must be touched to the ground behind the try line while under the control of the attacking player. If the defending team can prevent the ball from being touched to the ground then no points are scored.

You guys should check out USA vs NZ 2021 Rugby highlights for some more context, it was played in Washington

It's funny you say its similar to hockey because hockey also came from rugby. They used to have similar rules when hockey first started. Only pass backwards etc.

It's called a Try because at one point you received 0 points. All you got was an attempt a kick at goal. What you got was a Try. When I started in the early 70s a Try was 4 points. In the mid 90s they boosted it to 5 which finally made a converted Try worth more than 2 kicks.

They played Rugby in America before American football. In American football they call it a Touchdown but they don't 'touch ' the ball down on the ground. In Rugby you have to Touch the ball down on the ground

Guys you need to react to Squidge Rugby's "MLR - Major League Rugby" which is the name of the US league in rugby. It's truly great.

You need to watch a rules video

Lol...where do you think Goldberg got the technique from? Watch *14 minutes of epic rugby fights and brawls.*

The good thing is unlike American “ football” it doesn’t stop every 10secs if someone’s hit. You do know your “ football” is based on our rugby DONT you?, because it’s certainly NOT football. The caps are usually if you’ve had. An head injury in another game , you will often see players go off bleeding ,they have stitches,then come back on. Tough, Tough game. The speed the players can run is amazing.

Yep, its a touchdown but got the nick name "try" when the only scores were a single point for converting a penalty or for converting a touchdown hence the crowd would exclaim "try" for a touchdown; as in the team could now try for a point by converting the touchdown. The conversion isn't shown in your video but its pretty much the same thing as in American Football except yours are always taken in front of the posts.

Check out 'The six nations extended highlights', of any match, that should wet your appetite for this great sport. The world cup starts on 8th sept in France 2023. USA still need to qualify.

It's called a try not a touchdown.. and the lady bravo 👏 for watching game and understanding the game can keep rolling even though the player was grounded.. impressive , as for the boys not impressive

Nice that you enjoyed the rugby highlights. Trina understand why y'all have graphics plastered across the screen your viewers look at. It's kind of a major distraction guys. Cheers 🍻

literally just googled "score in rugby called what?" and it just said try. why is it so hard to google?

This is rugby union there is also rugby league in this game when they are caught with the ball they all pile on to and the player has to get the ball out to his team mates

Big difference between this sport and American sports ie American football is cardio is major difference

The hats are for cauliflower ears 😁

No one calls a try a touchdown!

can you make your on screen ident a bit smaller? it's pretty hard to see the action.

never say that rugby is like australian football

Why is your channel name right across the width of the clip we're trying to watch with you?

those are called scrum caps

Rugby predates American football. In fact we still have medieval football in england

It's in no way called a touchdown AT ALL!! It's called a TRY! And guess what game American football evolved from....?

It is a bit like NFL for one very relevant reason - American football is literally just rugby modified. Basically back in the late 1800s ypu guys played rugby. But you started changing the rules. Over 100 years it evolved into the sport of American football. Harvard and Yale basically invented American football. They took the game of rugby and changed some rules.

It's not a touchdown we call it a try

It is called a tri

Nobody calls it a touch down its a try

No one calls it a touchdown.

It is called a try

it is called a try

It's called a try

Its called a try because originally it garnered no points, It gave the team who got the ball over the line a try at making points by kicking the ball over the posts. No-one here ever called it a touch-down ever. btw please remove the logo from the vid please.

I have a question for Americans: Why do you call football a game that is played almost 99% by hands?IYou should call american handball.

American Football is nothing like Rugby it's boring ,stop, start, stop ,start, two to two and a half hours of boredom and why is it called foot ball when you can't kick the ball.You have cheer leaders and bands so you don't leave at half time. Rugby is none stop action 40 min each half. I don't think American Footballers would have the stamina they would have to rest every two minuets.Americans I know who have watched a Rugby match never go back to American Football.
