  &quot;... I don&apos;t think I&apos;m tall enough to play rugby...&quot;<br><br>That&apos;s the great thing about it; no matter your size or physicality, there&apos;s a role for you on a team.

  i&apos;m 6&apos; like you, I was an Openside Prop. The difference, my friend, is that I weight 306 pounds and build like a tank. When my knee ligaments decided to leave the chat, my surgeon told me that it was a normal operation... 45min tops of surgery. I stayed 3 and a half hours on the table, broke 4 tungsten drill bits because my bones are so dense. Now I cannot run nor squat because my very mass makes me hurt my knees. But well, those 10 years in the fray were very formative and gave me so much life advice so I don&apos;t resent it.

  Unlike American football, rugby is two 40 minute halves of non stop action. Unlike NFL which has small action sequences so the tv companies can get to the advertisements.

  cheeky chips - a short little dink kick over the top of defensive line for a teammate to recover and advance.

  Rugby have set number as it’s more about the team as a collective and not just individual players. No one’s greater than the team in rugby which is a different attitude to American sports

  &quot;That trophy&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2pyPBlnOMc&amp;t=591">9:51</a> is the rugby world cup. Its the Webb Ellis cup named after William Webb ellis who is the man who created rugby. The more you know 🎉

  Hey mate, as a Brit originally from Rugby living in Germany I really appreciate what you&apos;re doing on your channel. The explanations of each position are great btw, I&apos;m wishing you all the best on your journey to learn more about the game we all love.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2pyPBlnOMc&amp;t=770">12:50</a> i would agree with that but i feel like the best example of the quarterback is a mix of the Scrum-Half and the fly half as the halves paring has to communicate as both move the forwards and the back line

  A cheeky little “chip” means kicking the ball forward through players with the expectation that your team will be able to get to the ball 1st and retain possession.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2pyPBlnOMc&amp;t=859">14:19</a> cheeky little chip is a small drop kick just to go over or past the defence so you can run forward on to it to keep possession.
