Let me tell you a story of success. But it came after a heavy defeat. I remember watching it live too, and felt so sorry for them, but they never gave up in that game, they just got out classed all day. I’m talking about the Japanese rugby team of 1995. They suffered a 145-17 defeat to the All Blacks in a Rugby World Cup match. Not some exhibition match. That could’ve been the end of Japanese rugby, but they learned from it and was determined to make Japanese rugby more than just a fill in spot. Well, in 2015, they did the Impossible. The beat the Springboks in a World Cup match ( just a group stage match) and caused not just the biggest upset in Rugby history, but probably of all sport. Right up there at the very least. And then they did pretty well in their own back yard when the World Cup was staged in Japan. They beat Scotland and Ireland in their group games, but came unstuck against the South Africans in the next round. Most of those South African players, was on the pitch that day in 2015 and the Springboks went on to win the World Cup in 2019. Japan wasn’t taken lightly by anyone anymore, and have also become a Tier 1 nation. The point I am trying to make is this… The USA is THE sleeping Giant of World Rugby. The game has exploded in popularity the last 5 years, as a result of the MLR progress and me thinking that a lot of Yanks, are kinda getting bored with NFL, and rugby is the perfect antidote to any with-drawls they may experience. And the game is catching on there. Will it ever over take the NFL as America’s number 1 sport? No. It won’t. But it doesn’t need to. With a population of over 350 million, rugby only needs 10 percent of the nation to take a keen Interest, from grass roots up, and it will have more fans than some Tier 1 nations have people in it. Often combined if you take NZ and Australia and perhaps even the pacific island teams. That’s a perspective not many hold. lol The numbers are insane, and once ESPN or one of the other big TV networks get on board, the game will soar in the USA. And the world is all to familiar with just what kind of athletes you lot breed. It’s scary, but exciting. It’s been a life long dream of mine to see USA Eagles flying high with the big boys, and with the 2031 World Cup coming the US, you can fully expect the rugby landscape to quickly change over there. The MLR, will be THE league all the world’s top players are going to want to go play in. Once TV money starts rolling in, the USA Eagles will be a legit contender to lift the William Webb Ellis Don’t loose heart… back your boys. And keep recruiting new fans to rugby by continuing to spreading the Good Rugby Gospel. Nice reactions man and sorry for the long one. They will get there, believe it.

WE BOUTTA HIT 10K?!?!?!

England versus USA women2021 rugby unuon

You should watch England versus USA on the 4July 2020

..fighter of some kind she said! lo fvcking l!

You guys are getting better, believe it or not. Your Major League Rugby is making inroads and growing every year. This is equal to NZ playing the Americans at Basketball. It would be like 200 to 20.

I fear the day rugby really takes off in the USA. Imagine NFL athletes with rugby skills.

All blacks v England tonight as a kiwi im on the Allblacks side

the abs do lose but not often - their winning rate is bigger than any team in any other sport

dont be too embarrassed - usa male and female are in the top 8 and 4 in the rugby 7s - they are up there with the big boys and girls - you should watch it - the number one American player is Perry Baker - his long legs and running speed very impressive

Jonah Lomu RIP 🙏🏾. A gentleman and true legend of the sport. Still miss him ❤

Bro. the out of pocket sus comments had me dead

If America spends HALF their ENERGY they do with NFL on the US Eagles - you guys would produce massive amount of speedsters on a competitive level. Also, in all fairness. This is equivalent to grown adults playing with 5th graders. Unfair warfare.

Dude USA is a lot better now and you have the fastest wing in the entire urc so don't hate your team. Your sevens side is also very good.

There are a couple of words to describe the way the All Blacks play Rugby ?... BEAUTIFUL ... ORGANIZED ... POWERFUL and FAST😊 Brother they have a 77% win rate closest is South Africa with a 61%😊

This is the difference between guys who started playing from the age of 7 vs only playing from college level up. If America wants to compete you have the implement rugby in primary school level already.

kwagga smit you can also check him

Healing can side step you in a phone booth😂😂😂

Should react to Nigel Owens, he's the best ref ever

USA is playing Romania and Scotland this month actually, and you guys better need to get better since you guys will host the world cup in 2031. Edit: USA should be favourites against Romania, they are really bad

sad to see that Grey College wasnt on the list you must check their rugby

I love my country.❤🇿🇦

and those were the B team

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

Eagles did better v South Africa 2015 check it out

USA is useless in real man sport

Guess they liked to hear them self talk more than listing to olvier anthany. Weird.

Good to check out different to NFL gridiron football it's no the same!!!

Should react to shaun johnson

REACT TO SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLBOY RUGBY!!!! YOU"LL LOVE IT

It pays Google it

you should watch the Springboks VS Ireland this weekend its going to be amazing

I can't like your videos, you talk too much.

we had a braai before we vaaied and played

Yo gang react to Nasty C freestyle on sway 🇿🇦

He left because his father was murdered! I know it happened right around the finals in 93.

Eish 🫣 11 left wing 14 right wing. The 2 wingers playing with scrum caps is to protect their ears from. Cauliflower ears. Those 2 players are Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt-lee Arendse. They swap between left and right wing. To know the difference between the two of them. Kolbe unique in running stepping and a goat. Arendse sorter running strides then Kolbe and upper body also more straight up then Kolbe. Fun fact Kolbe's cousin Wayde van Niekerk Olympic world record holder 400m gold medalist. The nr 4 you keep on referring to Eben Esthabeth lock enforcer and nr 1 lock in the world

No drug in Springboks meat pap and potatoes. Salads don't win scrum chocolate cake does just ask Ox Nche.

My sons are in jeppe boys high. Pronounced Je + pee

I heard they don't have enough weight's for Eben at the gym.

Still in his prime

You have Rugby in America. Definitely Rugby Union. Your national team (USA Eagles) played the NZ All Blacks at FedEx Field in Washington DC, but heads-up, they got smashed!

The greatest sports documentary - EVER

2:16 SBW played Rugby Union (the main version of Rugby), Rugby 7s (what they play at the Olympics, fast version of rugby), Rugby league (aussie's main version) and was also a heavyweight boxer. he code switch so many times people started calling him Money Bill Williams because he just went where ever he got paid the most.

this guy has no idea what hes talking about. everything hes saying is wrong haha

please check out Bryan Habana!!

Dude you should try and get a stream of the SA v Ireland match on Saturday. Bring spare pants.

Jonah created the modern Rugby player with his combination of size and speed. The best player in the world right now is only 5ft 9, but he’s got incredible power, as well as ridiculous skills. Please react to Antoine Dupont, you will not be disappointed!

U should react to Danie Gerber the best center to ever play the game

They do not know what we know, Drikus world champ, in MMA. We do not train in the gym, we gym in Boksburg. Research it.
