I'm Irish,and that is one of the best descriptions of rugby I have ever heard😂

God created beer to prevent Prop-forwards from taking over the world.

I'm a New Zealander and grew up thinking Rugby is a normal sport, but your description is crack up bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm Welsh, grew up playing rugby. I haven't smiled and laughed that hard in ages. Thank you .

Josh, you just made New Zealand news my bro... That's the best description of rugby I've ever heard! ❤

We are from South Africa, My son( A Rugby player, 8 years old) laughed so hard at this. Best Description ever lol

I played rugby professionally and this is the greatest description of rugby by an American ever ...... In fact anyone ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I played Rugby in college in Detroit. I saw one guy take a cleat to the head, which ripped his scalp open and shoved dirt and grass under the skin. I tooked like the grass was growing out of his head. We keep playing with broken, bloody noses, dislocated shoulders, dislocated legs, blood blisters the size of pickles, broken fingers, etcetera. I miss Rugby.

first tip in rugby: Cardio

Nobody in the history of the world has called it Rugby football... Until now.

any person from any rugby-playing country gonna enjoy this alot! absolute gold brother!

“Rugby Football” haha best fukin description of rugby ever😂😂😂🇮🇪

Honestly after playing Rugby I never saw American Football the same I look at American Football now and I just laugh

They stuck you in the front row without any experience??????? !!!!!!! Wow that's dangerous!

I'm glad someone finally acknowledged how tough rugby is

Rugby is the complete sport and rugby players are the toughest and loyal players in sport. Rugby has it all. I love rugby Come on Pumas!

You know what they say...... "Rugby players eat their dead."

I played rugby all 4 years in high school. I'm glad someone finally realizes how crazy the sport is

THANK YOU!!!!!! Finally, an American that gets the difference between Rugby and NFL football. Mad respect for giving it a shot, Mate.

Bro. You have summed up rugby in such an amazing way. It’s a most amazing game played by amazing athletes. And a joy to watch.

All American, All State Hooker here: lots and lots and lots of truth being laid out. I’ve watched this three times and still Laughing My Azz Off. Any person can play American football with pads, but WARRIORS play RUGBY. I even had a chance to play with my kiwi brothers in the mountains of Afghanistan. (Yes the middle of a war zone) Talk about being grateful to share that experience. Love your stuff Josh keep up the great work, blessings to you from Your Bright Cousin.

"And put that Egg down" 😂

it goes like this: "football (aka soccer) is a gentleman's game, played by thugs and rugby is a thug's game, played by gentlemen". you cant have that level of controlled violence without being a gentleman. people would die every match. also, MEGALOLZ, they made you play hooker. its a kind of rugby joke. you make people play that position to hurt them! all in good fun, of course - we're gentlemen after all...

Without a doubt the best description of rugby I've ever heard. I laughed all the way through that. New subscriber.

I played Rugby when I was in the Marine Corps. It was fun and everything you said was correct :)

I'm south african and here playing rugby was expected, broke my arm and tore my ligaments you have to be extremely fit to avoid injuries

That was brilliant, extremely funny....😂 Greetings from the Mother City (Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦).

I'm a kiwi and I played rugby all of my sporting life. I can't remember when I laughed so much. Much love to my Black Uso.

Josh you need to see some rugby playing ladies. They’re the true Amazons. ❤️

Running a sports medicine program in high school let me see all kinds of sports related injuries. Primarily football. Then a friend on a rugby ‘club’ wanted me to go with them as a trainer. I saw more injuries in that one game than almost an entire season of high school football.

Absolutely fantastic !!. I'm English and an ex rugby player and its really great to hear your wonderful, funny description of the game. I'm subscribing. Cheers mate. 😎

2:25 "this ball is like holding a VCR" got me dying hahahahaha #chadrick

I'm from South Africa and we grow up playing rugby. It's crazy how much I can relate! 😂

Those crazy Aussies made you play Hooker your first time on the pitch... dang!!!

I'm an Aussie and I love this yank describing Rugby, fucking love you mate! 😂🔥🤘

This is honestly the best description of the game I love and that description of the try scoring moment is so accurate. There is no better feeling

The only thing tougher than rugby is war!!!!!!

I can't watch American Football anymore since I became a Rugby Fan. I'll just watch clips and highlights but I find it boring in general now with all the stopping and talking. Move it Men! Move it! lol

When I was (much) younger and still playing scrum-half, I saw a bumper sticker that summed the game up perfectly. It simply stated "Rugby players eat their dead".

MAN I NEEDED THAT LAUGH...NOW MY RIBS HURT. 100%

I played semi-pro for two years. Tight-head prop (front right of the scrum). I scored once in my high level career, and I can confirm it really it like Josh says it is.

Anyone else here from New Zealand?

New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England, Wales and Ireland is the real '6 nations'

Love from Australia You would be a hit on the pub circuit over here Your a very funny man lol

You shouls try partying with those rugby boys!!! Lord, i never seen such an interesting drunk af ruckus at a bar. It was peacful tho, no fighting, just banter, loud, full of energy moving around n shit banter. Love your vids dude. Keep up the good work! 👍😸

I was sceptical when i started this.... But bravo sir. Bravo. Yours faithfully, a Brit

Played rugby my freshman year. I was walking by the field and seen a variation of football I had never seen before. I made try outs, and got to start my first game. They put me on far wing because of my short stature. First time I caught the ball I was full speed (never met anyone faster than me), and found out real quick what it means to hit a brick wall at 25 miles an hour. Also found out that there is no man in the world I can't take a hit from 😂😂

Im a Kiwi... Made me laugh man! Much love from New Zealand! 😂🤣

I was already subscribed before watching this video and now I'll never leave. Former college rugby player from America here, Hooked for 5 years.

I saw Jonah Lomu play and he was the greatest player ever from New Zealand please watch the Master

Much love from South Africa, well described hahaha.

I was an Italian rugby player (I was a number 5) and I can say a thing, it doesn't true that when you get tackled the play don't stop, when you get tackle the fun starts! Anyway good job, I was dying from laughing! 😂 👍

im fijian and thats the best description of rugby iv'e ever heard

You should be the main rugby promoter for america my friend entertaining from start to finish and if you have played a bit of rugby you would know that was a great description lol cheers from ireland

Josh, you bring the funny. I appreciate it, truly. It's why I keep coming back to your channel. TL;DR Decades ago in college, rugby was one of the "intramural" sports. We thought we were tough playing other intramural sports. Those rugby guys had -- I am not making this up -- bumperstickers on their cars that said: - Give blood, play rugby - Rugby players eat their dead

I'm Kenyan I picked up rugby in high school, your description is too funny

As someone who plays rugby I can confirm all of these

I play rugby and this is awesome 😂😂😂 thanks for an honest commentary on the fastest growing sport in the States and the toughest 80 minute fight a man will ever experience.

Grew up in a small American town in Washington state. Played rugby most of my childhood. Absolutely loved every second of it. Plan to play for my high school and possibly college if I could get a scholarship

This is genuinely, bloody brilliant. Probably the best thing I’ve ever seen ahaha

Playing Rugby Union is compulsory in the Southern Hemisphere

South African and I played rugby in school and I agree 100% but stop saying rugby football just say rugby ;)

I leave most games with either 20 bruises, limping, bleeding or injured. Or a mixture

This was brilliant had me crying you just gained a new subscriber.

"This ball is like holding a VCR!"

Thank you for your support and appreciation for our great game. Rugby is a game for gentleman played by thugs

Lmao best description i have ever heard of rugby i never have laugh so much since i came across your channel. Thanks for keeping us entertained and putting a smile on our faces

We grew up with rugby. If I think about it now, we could've seriously hurt ourselves as kids but you never thought about it like that. You learned early on to both give and take a tackle.

😂😂😂😂 Brilliant. You would be an asset to any team, mate!! Very funny-you need to experience the social life that goes with it👍

"Its the game they play in heaven" a good old rubgy proverb. Makes men out of boys.

I swear I could listen to this man rant for an hour on literally anything.

I played for 2 years and loved every minute of it. Thoroughly enjoyed your description!

😂 he ain’t lying! Up the ABS🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Lol!! Just reading the title made me chuckle! Going to listen now, you nut!

10 years later I still have 2 displaced ribs from rugby lmao still love that shit

😂 love your energy and your respect for Rugby! You had me laughing pretty hard... you’re good at this bro! Great character!

I'm from south Africa and I play rugby I've played it since gr2 and I'm in gr6

Josh Pray you only get better !....your observations are spot on !....please come to England soon, I would happily take you to a few games... Leicester Tigers, London Irish..need I say more ?.......and, of course, the pub afterwards....if you think rugby's a tough game, the drinking afterwards is tougher !!.....and.....our kids,.... yes, boys and girls..... play rugby from six years old in all weathers !!

Three sentences were spoken and I had to subscribe, your delivery, bruh I'm speechless, thats the best explanation of rugby I've ever heard

The main thing is 1 did you enjoy yourself And 2 will you play again.

All Blacks from New Zealand. Most successful sports team in history (any sport)

Played US Football one season, hated it. Kind of boring. Played Prop for 6+ seasons.... I miss it to this day. I Coached it for three seasons when my kid started to play; is 11 and has hair on his chest....

Josh, you just made my year. Thank you, it was the best description of rugby vs American football I've ever heard. :D

Never seen any of your videos.. never watched rugby in my life... but this was freaking great!!! 😂😂😂 keep it up forever man!!!

“It’s just football” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Try watching rugby super 7s you may like that better or go to las Vegas on 1.3 march 2019 From oz

You are the man! Funniest and most accurate description of rugby! Salute yah souljah

Dude one of the best clips on YT. Class and true. Very funny as well!

All so very true, yet no mention of the socials! The socials afterwards are the absolute best parts of rugby. Drinking races/games, jovial sing-a-longs, and the most painful hangover of your entire life the next day! What's not to love?!

NZ All Blacks top rugby team in the world!

Rucks, mauls, and scrums..... organized chaos!!!! Played competitive Rugby for many years, your description is spot on!!! Paying the price now for those years of physical brutality, but it was crazy fun!!!!

Mate, we salute you! :) (South Africa forever :) ) Couple more things that is very different 1. 15 a side, with 7 subs (no 54 man team) 2. All players play offence and defence 3. No rolling subs 4. The amount of tackles / sacks a player takes is significantly higher over the course of a game And the biggest difference, which you mentioned - is the ‘no stop when tackle’ and ‘ rucks’ It’s an amazing game!

You should do a rugby video reaction to rugbys biggets hits and tackles

My dad use to play for th us national team sadly he quit bc he couldnt travel as much with a familu

I can't stop laughing - that was so entertaining, thank you - this Kiwi really enjoyed your intro to Rugby. My American husband also had a rugby experience when he was at Varsity - but he had no idea, he'd come off clean from the sidelines, like yourself got asked to go up the front in the middle of the scrum (and he was one of the smallest!), whistle blew and nek minute he came to being carried off the field. That was his total experience of the game.

South African here I have never been entertained this much in an intro to rugby Subbed for life bro😂💦

Look up the late Jonah Lomu. If you think rugby players are tough, he is a gorram tank.

Oh Josh, now you are talking about my people. For my American neighbors. The first rule of rugby is that the only person getting tackled is the player with the ball. That means that you are running into thirteen house sized high endurance bodybuilders who really really want to tear you limb from limb and your team cannot defend you. The ball always gets passed backwards. The second rule. No armor. That means no helmets or chest protectors. Shoulder pads are an extra layer of cloth in the shoulders of your rugby shirt. But you do get to wear a cup to avoid having your balls smeared across the field. If you are playing rugby then you are playing full bore for 40 minutes before half time which lasts for 5 minutes then back for the second half. The ball is the shape it is so that it cannot be kicked accurately, it is hard to hang onto because you and it are covered in mud, spit and (sometimes) blood and it's even harder to throw. Rugby is played on grass/snow/mud and is never cancelled because of weather or 'conditions'. You are soaked because of course it's raining and freezing but your adrenalin is going full bore for the entire game. Rugby players are the best. After the game both teams would descend on the closest pub and get wrecked like Vikings, or at least that's what we used to. It is a hard game for real men. Football (all variants other than Australian rules) is a pansy game for delicate little flowers who don't like pain. Rugby is pain. Rugby is life. There is one game that we created that is even harder than Rugby. Field Hockey, which is basically Rugby but with hand held weapons. You have to be crazy to play this game. Ice hockey is nice and safe compared to field hockey. I never played hockey because I'm not mad. Although my dad did play with the London Irish Hurling team for a short while. The dentist bills put him off eventually. Well, that and the concussions. Hurling was invented by my mad Irish cousins because the stinking English wouldn't let them play on their nice manicured Hockey fields. Hurling is aerial hockey played at head level with three foot clubs (sticks) and a ball about the size of a baseball. Apparently they have helmets these days. That's nice.

I truly wish everyone had your sense of humor Josh. You make me laugh till I cry. Literally.

Josh this has just come up on my KZfaq suggested videos! I moved from the UK to Florida 4 years ago and one of the biggest things I am missing is playing rugby after playing for 10 years for fun back home! I love hearing the way you talk about it, it brings back so many memories of playing but also trying to explain rugby to Americans! I will never be able to do it in such an articulate fashion as you do which is why I share this video to everyone I can!
