Posted on September 30, 2010 at 3:39pmFor everybody that thinks this is real… please look up the NFL ads for fantasy football called “pick me” or “it’s your move”. Fun to watch, but not real.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 2:44pmThe first and third parts are probably legit, but most likely took a few dozen tries to get it right. The second part is clearly completely fake. There is a reason the camera is zoomed way in and stays focused on the target instead of following the ball out of frame.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 2:44pmNot a one take wonder, but I’m willing to bet this is real. They’re the All Blacks, just look at how they start a match;

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 3:26pmThe only team I hung around in college were the rugby guys. Traveled with them, cheered for them, wrapped a lot of ace bandages, stitched a few up and drug them to the hospital when absolutely nessary. Great game and theses “shots” are probably for real. Go Gorillas!!

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 2:06pmLooks real enough. Not so very difficult to believe that the players are skilled enough to do all that without faking. That‘s not to say that it wasn’t the 42nd attempt to do it all without messing up.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 2:01pmC’mon people. Any time you watch these type of videos have you noticed that the camera is always moving around and going in and out of focus? That’s where they do their editing. You won’t see the cuts
Report Post »in the film due to the camera shaking and moving around. The shots going in and out of focus is also part of the process.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:49pmI got to see this team when I was stationed in England when they came to play rugby in England, it is amazing what they can do with that ball. I won’t say this is real but if you saw them in warm ups it might make you think.
