Rugby videos of tackles, tries, funny incidents and more: Why I Love Rugby

Why I Love Rugby

We come from different backgrounds, from different parts of the world. We're of different age groups and have different beliefs. We're all essentially very different. But one thing we do have in common, is that we all love rugby.

That’s why you’re sitting where you are right now. That’s why thousands, from far reaches of the globe, are doing exactly the same thing. We can’t get enough of it. It’s in our blood. Every moment of this game is special to us. Every tackle, every try, every run, every step – it’s what makes rugby what it is - the most enjoyable sport in the world.

This awesome video, made by one of our regulars, is a brilliant summary of all things special in rugby. The power, the skill, the showmanship – it’s all in there, and it makes for a really well made compilation video that will no doubt touch you in some small way.

There will be a lot of clips in here that you may have already seen, but with the way it's packaged, they’re worth seeing again. There’s even one or two League clips thrown in, as, running with ball in hand and stepping your man is good to watch in either code of the game.

All in all, we hope you enjoy this video, and if you, like us, think it’s a great format for another Rugbydump series, then let us know and we’ll consider putting a number two together. Who knows where it can go from there.

Enjoy.

My Sacrifice by Creed
Time: 04:59
Note: Thanks to Chris for the great vid

Not a single clip of shane williams on that vid
hes the reason i love rugby

like comments before, why no shane williams? you included the england try vs wales but none of the grand slam winners tries, brilliant video but try to have more than just english please.

Remember: It's better to have played Rugby, kicked some arse and lost than to ever have played Football!

You can see Shane Williams around 4:11

Wow.....

I've been a fan of RD for a long time and I have to say that this is easily one of the best video I've ever seen on the dump.

Anyone that's worked with video editing knows how much time goes in to making a 3 or 4 minute vid like this.

The quality of hits and tries in this video is staggering.

5/5

Superb vid. Love every second of it.

Those talking about Shane Williams - it's about rugby, not individuals, so even bringing that up and bitching about it is pretty pathetic really.
Appreciate a good vid about RUGBY. There will be other times to praise individuals.

This, is quality. Well done guys.. well done Rancid. ;)

This is a brilliant advert for the game...it pretty much shows every aspect off the game...the emotion, the physicality, the unbelivable skill, the commitment...they should show this to football players so they can see what a proper sport is..

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2008 2:41 am
yeah this video is awsome, but you should introduced some tackles from Argentina(Pumas), ex: contepomi against skrela, leguizamon against chabal,

carry on making videos like this ones!

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2008 2:43 am
I was at a tourney recently that featured (sadly) an awful lot of pompous, posturing blowhards. You know, good rugby players but the kind that blow it by lots of flexing, posing, and talking about what great rugby players they are. It made me question why I love rugby. This video answered the question!

just wondering, who is that guy in the orange jersey who stepped like 7 people in a row? that's some freakish skill

Connachtfan asking for more videos of scrums. Man, there's a concept. One way to drive people away from RD.

This was brilliant, some great clips with awesome variety. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

seemed a bit anti welsh tbh, (just joking) lots of footage of the all blacks showing us how its done, but oh well, they pretty much do that to everyone. a dash of S williams wouldnt of gone a miss.

its still 5 stars :D

Awesome Vid. Little diassapointed theres no clips of Shane Williams like. But no the less good Vid (Y)

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2008 1:36 pm
Great video, and ignore the comments about Shane Williams. Not sure why there's all the fuss about that to be honest. I certainly didn't miss him, and it's not as if it was a video showing 'Great Welsh wingers who can run fast and sidestep'. Therefore, nothing wrong with him not being in here.

Awesome vid. :)

Amazing vid but why so many fight thats not what rugbys about

This is more like, "Why I like Northern Hemisphere Rugby"...

Still good but

By Hunter, at June 20, 2008 2:56 pm
If anyone is bored enough, (or loves rugby enough), you could do up really awesome clips of Cult heros:

like a 4~5 minute video highlight of C-BASS, Nonu and all the other players that we don't get to see videos of.

This one is really finely done :D

Well it wasn't intentional. I think i made the video before this seasons Super 14 started so was short on domestic Southern hemisphere material.

But Rugby is rugby. What difference would it make to the video?

dear me alot of NH haters making their presence felt. i love how alot of the major fights are typically french :D
That Joe Rockococko run and subsequent try at 2:14 is fantastic, was it king Carlos with the great little pass at then end of it?
and to whoever said it, must of been quite something for joe to burn shane when he'd already crossed the try line before williams had even got across.

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2008 5:30 pm
um, Hello emergency operator...can you please send the "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ambulance", yes, we have some cry babys here.

You can please some people all the time or you can please all the people some of the time.

RugbyDump, thank you for all that you do and the fine way in which you do it.

"David"

Actually, as the creator of the video, he hadn't crossed the try line, far from it.

He beat Shane with his own game, the step!

I have nothing against Williams, and in the actual video comments on Youtube when asked why i didn't include his Six Nations material, i explain why(fear of Youtube account being expelled from the site)

The truth is he was burned. Simple. It happens to the best of us.

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2008 5:56 pm
great vid!! love to see more....btw who is the guy that makes the run at 3.16? also i agree with a previous post: put in some scrums, mauls rucks and lineouts!! xoxox

By poccio, at June 20, 2008 5:57 pm
This video didnt remind me how much I love rugby as such, more like how lucky I am to be able to play it. I know i'm only playing at schools and under-age level, but all my time and energy goes into training for it. It really is my life. And I feel privileged to be part of the teams I play for. This video reminded me of what an honor it is to be part of the greatest team sport in the world.

(Oh, and I think this vid is better as a once-off kinda thing :-P)

A lot of feelings grow inside of me when I see that kind of videos, it´s because I really love rugby.

Great video.

I love that blues try against the hurricanes. what a sweet back-hand pass inside. lucky. but then it takes skill to creat luck. top notch vid lads. best rugby site i've seen. looking forward to the tri-nations. it's going to be between SA and NZ for sure...

i was a bit disturbed as the video showed more of the ugly side of rugby (fights, dump tackles) than the reasons why we all love the game..just a thought

Really great video. Definitely worth making more. I would put a little less fighting in. Crazy French punchups pretty funny but not really a great advert for Rugby.

That was absolutely briliant. thee music was awesome and the clips were perfect. much better than TSRB cause its not just hits its every thing. should definetely make more like these. on thing though, there were to many fight scenes. a few is okay, but i dont love rugby because of the fights, i love it because its such a great game

i would just like to point out to anyone complaining that their favourite player is not in it , as a lot of shane williams fans have been : the video is called "why -I- love rugby" , not " why you love rugby " . So its completely the authors choice as to what he does and does not include. Cry babies .

Why use all the clips of fights? I don't think that's one of the best sides to rugby, sure it's all part of the same game, but let's use some clips that shows the commoradory that rugby produces. Just my opinion.

hahaha did anyone else find this so sale sharks biased? I personally think the Ben Foden try is the single best piece of finishing I have seen in a long time, being able to carry momentum while avoiding the touch line. Pure skill, and, from a Sale fan, one of the biggest losses we've had to endure
