Nobody plays like they do, nobody passes with such ease and precision. You have got to love the way they do it. The French are eye candy in rugby.
Watch this even if you don't like rugby. This is quality and admirable stuff right there! Tries from the 70's right till the late 90's - they hardly ever stop the ball from moving!






By the way, Alan: they've just beaten All Blacks this morning - check the highlights. This Trinh-Duc fended off four NZs on his way over the line. Brilliant!

rugby is for sissies.. american football all the way!!
on another hand, i have no idea what am talking about!

American football is just rugby after the visit of a health inspector.

Gen, les Bleux won against NZ?? Promising news :mrgeen:

i watched like 10 rugby games before: and i didn't get a single hint abt the rules of playing..
on the other hand it took me to watch just one match of American Football.. to know all the game..
[i dont know why i posted that.. ]

^ American Football? Please.

They're two very different field games. Rugby is much faster and goes back, reaaaaal back to the late 1800's.
What's not to understand?

2 teams.
15 players on each.
score by grounding the ball beyond the opposition's line. This is called a 'try'.
every time you score a try, you put 5 points on the board.
every time you score a try, you get the chance to take a spot kick, worth two points if successful, and land it between the posts.
you can't pass the ball forward - you only pass backwards and sideways. Having said that you may make a ship kick forward in the hope that your team mates could pick it up.
how do you score? run! you have to make ground to get to the try line. you must have very good feet; sidesteps are essential, fending off, and general body strength is essential- why? read on...
for the opposing team to stop you, they have to tackle ya. And I mean, TACKLE ya really well: anything goes in rugby just don't tackle the face and don't tackle if your opponent has no ball on his hands. Apart from that, double-team him, bring him to the ground, lift him up and smack him to the ground... all goes...


That's the basics really. You can understand mauls, scrummaging, and line-outs later... but mainly this is all you need to know to understand rugby.
just watch matches - you'll catch on. and more importantly, watch french rugby league - it's the best in the world.
