Thankfully the Chiefs (in white - my team) still won this one.

I support Highlanders, but I respect the Hell out on any and Kiwi Rugby fans.
Gopher1964
Doesn't count. They're all kiwis.

i wish there way more rugby in the states. i would watch this over football
unstableagenda
Two losses from two games, not a good start for the landers
Snotty128
They did get a tough draw at the start of the season to be fair
unstableagenda
Plus a few injuries
SoooooOriginal
Could be worse. Says the Rebels supporter.

Dont know what you lot are talking about. Having a great season so far. World's easiest game of find the Cheifs supporter

Haha yeah, although as a Canes supporter, it was good for us

btw, dude from the Chiefs thought it was hilarious and had to try hard not to smile.

Fuck, what a try! Excellent rugby there.
OuroborosX
This game looks dangerous.
Singaporesling5090
Yes, its like american football but is a game for men
OuroborosX
So women can't play?
Singaporesling5090
Anyone can play, as long as you can handle tackling with no padding. I'm a girl, I love it
htx13
Always upvote rugby
idontevenknowsillymonkey
I haven't watched much Union myself (transplant from US to AU)...got into NRL because it's what the wife watches. Very satisfying though.
BazookaBoh
I wish I watched more Rugby. Seems like the type of sport more fun to play than to watch though.

Greatest sport ever!

What happened here?
PizzaIsAlwaysTheAnswer
they scored an american football's equivalent of a touch down, guy grabbed an opponent and invited him to celebrate with them
degenerateace
The guy they grabbed didn't mess up or accidentally help them, right?
PizzaIsAlwaysTheAnswer
no he was just chasing after the ball and got pretty close. He started slowing down as the play ended but got caught
PizzaIsAlwaysTheAnswer

PizzaIsAlwaysTheAnswer
It doesn't affect the play in any way its just random/funny. He seemed to be a good sport about it but hes sure to keep an eye out next time

My mate played rugby and he told me when they are in the scrum they are all punching each other. Face or balls didn't matter.
AgamemnonsMemes

ZeSlammy
Gouging eyes, fingers up the nose, trying to pull tongue ... Scrums are nasty af. Even from 2nd row ...
JamesWRDunn
I don't think you know how a scrum works. In a maul or a ruck maybe but no one has arms free In a scrum apart from back row.
ishouldnotwritemyusernameinalllowercasewhoopsidid
(4) But in all seriousness, that kind of thing doesn't or only very rarely happens in pro rugby these days.
ishouldnotwritemyusernameinalllowercasewhoopsidid
(2) in the first scrum he saw a fist barely miss him, so for the second scrum he tucked his head in and heard a loud crack as punch hit
ishouldnotwritemyusernameinalllowercasewhoopsidid
(3) someone, when everyone came out of the scrum he saw the other team had knocked out one of their own front rowers while trying to hit him
ishouldnotwritemyusernameinalllowercasewhoopsidid
(1) My dad had a story of how when he played for a french club, the other club heard a kiwi was playing so wanted to take him out

You see that's the problem with Arsenal, they always try to walk it in.

Celebration aside, that was an excellent try.

Try is the term for a touchdown in Rugby

Lol American Football is the pinnacle of confusion.

SpecimenSpiff
When someone scores do you say, "he tried"?
SpecimenSpiff
Joke.
masoniccentre
We say " he scored a try "
Eranju
Sports commentators be like "He's trying to score... trying... trying... Yep, he scored a try!"

There is no try.

Rugby looks way more entertaining than American Football (or eggball for those non-U.S.)

They're different. Rugby is far more flowing, but you can't knock the big hits and clever plays in The NFL

bigfloppydonkydong
I actually was thinking the exact same thing before I read your comment. Downvotes were from those that don't know STQ.
Discoyo
But what if it isn't that the truth hurt, but you are wrong? Is that possibility too much to consider?
AidanNel
Not really, Rugby has just as much strategy. It's just that it's quick thinking strategy where you can't plan it but have to execute quickly
Numbnuts670
Not even fucken close
MadMupp
A game of chess by a person who appears to have never seen chess haha
saffyy
The hell is smear the queer?? Some kind of american football hazing ritual?
fistermatic5000
It's a game we played as kids. Whoever has the ball, everyone else has to tackle him. Then the ball gets thrown in the air, and starts ovr
eggboy
Ah, "kill the dill with the pill" we called it. We probably would have bashed anycunt who wanted to play "smear the queer" with us.
saffyy
Ah yeah that was called mugball for us, good times
fistermatic5000
It was usually what a game of playground football devolved into. I'm assuming the same, only with rugby where you're from?
CasuallyDressed
Trust Americans to name a children's game after a homophobic slur.

I don't know if kids still call it that, or even still play it. But things were a lot different 25 years ago.

Imagine if American Football didn't stop for shitty reasons every 3 seconds ? It had its potential taken away, IMO.
CarRamrod91
Then it would be rugby...that's like saying imagine if cricket players just wore gloves and swung with a baseball bat.
Trollingstoned
Just keep the timer going, don't go to commercials so much, don't take a break just because someone kicked a ball, cancel 2-min warning, etc
CarRamrod91
Oh well yeah I agree with hating all the commercial breaks. I thought you meant don't have downs/plays. There's definitely ways to speed it
CarRamrod91
Up, but that gets in the way of the money :/
themaverick1313
80 minutes, 15 positions, no protection, wanna ruck?
MadMupp
Or 13, lots of skill and speed needed to break the line. Also no protection or stoppages

Italy used a loophole in the offside law in rugby by refusing to engage in "rucks" (contesting the ball) against England recently.

Its good till you realize Rugby increases your chances of having a concussion more than American football due to lack of protection.
cpragadeesh
DO NOT SAY THE C-WORD - Thad Castle
JamesWRDunn
That's not strictly true though is it? Rugby players don't charge head first into people. Tackling is very technical due to not having pads
YerAGrizzardArry
I've given NFL a fair shake and I just can't get into it. Each to their own, but I personally find it boring as hell in between plays.
soso456
I was born in a world of rugby and it can be very boring too. Some games are just so shitty... Both nfl and rugby have their pros and cons
bostwickenator
It makes sense, you must just not be interested in the star of American football. THE NEW 2018 CHEVY ______. With ____ ___ers. Only $300/m
CrazyCatLad
It's fine playing it in a backyard football variant but watching it live or on TV is fucking slow (college or pro).
CrazyCatLad
Yeah downvote all you want but you know I'm right.
AgamemnonsMemes
I think its a good game, when they're actually playing it.
YerAGrizzardArry
Yes, exactly! When the players are actually doing something, it's great.
Krenum
As a US native I also don't like NFL. NCAA (College) is where it's at.
W92Baj
As a non US native, the idea of watching kids play sports is a bit weird

I watch my Longhorns, some bowl games/national championship, and the super bowl. That's all the football I need.

Makes for good smashed 'em bro segments, I'll give you that. I stand by my comment though, union all day
TangJTL
Union's a little too slow for my tastes.
MadMupp
My issue with union is its much slower and relies more on kicks and goals. Watch some Castlefords last game, that was some fine rugby

As said i just assumed, i got no fucking Idea. Don't Judge me D:
DannyNoFriends
Pretty sure it is.
CanadaEhBuddy
Only if the ref and touch judges aren't paying attention lol that's why you normally do this in the middle of a ruck
DavidPemberton
Rugby League though
acertainjenesaisquoi
Instant red card.
MooseKnuckleHustle
Instant who gives a shit. Punch right in the kisser wa pow.
PuppiesAreMyHappyPlace
It only happened if the ref saw it happen. Sauce - my dad knocked a guy out cold once during a match with no repercussions.
AndyBiz10
Isn't this AFL? i don't think thats rugby.
CasuallyMasturbatingInPublic
It's not, but the thing about Rugby is that the ref has to be watching so much stuff at the same time many people tend to punch rivals 1/
CasuallyMasturbatingInPublic
In mauls, rucks, or whenever they know ref isn't looking. It can lead to... Interesting experiences. That's how I broke my nose once lol. 2/
MadMupp
This was in the grand final of rugby league I believe, opening minutes the Wigan player just lost his rag & got a straight red & long ban
MartyFromDaHood
To sum up, it's legal as long as the ref doesn't see it.
CasuallyMasturbatingInPublic
It's not legal, even if the ref doesn't see it, but some assholes do exploit it.

It isnt, this was very early on in the game too if I remember, it was a straight red card and a lengthy ban. He said he lost all judgement

Minutes and a half in. That wasn't even the first punch, he knocked him out while they were both standing. It was horrible to watch.
