Francois Steyn monster drop goal against Clermont

[atheistscepticism]

That's kind of scary that a human being can exert that much force on a ball.

[CILLTUBE1]

00:26 that's not what she said

[shepznrazo]

Main commentator is shite

[XavierBroo]

Thats wierd i didnt see any white flags that whole time...

[chinnyize]

best commentator EVER!

[chinnyize]

easy. pff.

[madfootypurist]

Fukn outrageous !

[90JKV]

and people say that his long range kicks only works in SA because of the high altitude lol this is like a "in ur face" reply by steyn !

[bartonez123]

Like a boss

[mfin06]

0:47 "thats what she said"

[mattvall97]

I think the commentator likes it massive in his mouth

[tris5764]

0:25 - 0:32 "That's what she said!"

[MushiMGO]

go my god hahah

[laminator69er]

That's ridiculous. The best thing is the way he just turns away as soon as he hits it. Awesome tekkers

[77kraxx]

amazing drop

[shepznrazo]

If this was in altitude it would add on average 7metres......which means it would have gone over if it was from behind his own 22!!! INSANE

[C24B9]

Does anyone know how far the ball flew?I think it was 60m in the score book, but it was well above the bar, and still had legs...Awesome kick.

[TheRugby56]

OMG i can't do a same kick !

[TehBenni]

OMG Its a drop goal attempt , Yeah no shit

[TheTanGiant]

wow, football kickers suck compared to these guys

[MrLateDee]

Shit that is amazing Francois Steyn is a freak........

[TomM7802]

i can do that in my sleep... and only in my sleep

[44gumulog44]

Amazing kick pure brilliance

[mickbelfast]

Eurosport has the WORST commentators EVER

[C24B9]

@mickbelfast I don't want to argue, but have you heard the Yank commentators covering the US Eagles? I watched the first 40 with a bucket handy, and turned off the sound for the second half. It was painful.

[mickbelfast]

@C24B9 3 questions... 1) why would you want to argue ? 2) why do i care about yank commentators ? & 3) who or what is the us eagles ? btw im from ireland & i think your reply was aimed at the wrong person because im from europe & euro sport is shit

[C24B9]

@mickbelfast You were commenting on the Eurosport commentators being the worst...I was implying the US may be the worst. (thus the "don't want to argue" soft shoe). .The Eagles are the national team of the USA. They were in the RWC (#20 in the cup rankings, as I recall!) I was aiming for being witty...but, I think I need to work on my delivery a bit! Sorry!

I don't think I've seen much eurosport broadcasts. I'm limited to YouTube and Pirate Bay for my rugby coverage.

Greetings from Maine/US.

[b1azer01]

epic



[mulker3]

This is equally impressive each time i watch it. Amazing

[RugbymadAnt]

I CAN DO THAT IN MY SLEEP.....

[TheRugby19]

Ce qui me choque le plus , c'est que le Drop passe avec de la marge ... Il l'a mit de 55 mètres , il avait la force de le mettre de 65 Facile !

[usaytchannel]

what have you been doing this week LOL

[usaytchannel]

LOL AS when he said BANG oh my good gracis

[edmoven1]

I FEEL ILL

[kingtommykong]

Kicks are getting bigger. In the future certain players will be able to kick 80-100 mtrs on the fly.

[vegatablesouptom]

All about the strike and follow through, so controlled....

[MrMfahy]

its in France so no altitude u tool!!

[IceFrettz]

How the hell do you kick that far??? Insane!!!

[DougieBarclay]

@IceFrettz altitude

[xFUZZYI]

@DougieBarclay you idiot its in france so no altitude, you cant deny this guys talent.

[DougieBarclay]

@xFUZZYI lol guys calm down. YouTube e-thugs make me laugh, no shortage of them here!

[bryanohlson]

@DougieBarclay your a doofbag nutter

[DougieBarclay]

@bryanohlson ......ok

[Stoigen86]

If NASA ever has trouble launching a Satellite into space they should get Francois Steyn to kick it, this guy's right boot is ridiculous!

[MaelMedia]

Ricky Gervais with the commentary

[battycrease1992]

@MaelMedia Great shout

[tomalomtiger]

the south african fly half?......

[newfieballer1]

@tomalomtiger no . south african center im pretty sure . morne steyn is the outhalf

[iiTarrtieBoii]

@newfieballer1 francois steyn only plays at second-five because De Villiers preffered morne steyns experience rather than Francois's range, his first choice position is at first-five

[Slug12345Slug]

could have hit that from the 22. Crazy

[MegaSheepRock]

4 people got hit by that ball

[Skipper6161]

Francois Steyn's leg - donated from Chuck Norris!

[bigjoeman66]

what cheat code is that

[blowfish920]

what the fuck! massive!

[Hamdogrocks]

Silly humans kicking to Francois Steyn

[13Bilbo13]

awful commentry



[lachynf18]

thats insane , he could have got it another 20 out

[ConstantineAT]

Il à des canons à la place des jambes ou quoi ?! Omg putain de buteur ce joueur chapeau

[gnoballib594]

Amazing and he still got good distance after it went over

[Tehui1974]

Is this guy a professional commentator or a giggling school kid?

[pesdude]

@Tehui1974 If you're in the British Isles, don't watch Scrum V, the commentator talk constantly about texts from viewers and general convo, very little to do with the game. The commentator in this is immature.

[TDaViEzZ1994]

0:25 Thats what she said...

[MaaxSW33N3Yx]

this reminds me of me, except this is the distance of my weak foot...

[theuniscbravo]

@MaaxSW33N3Yx K@K! Bet you can't even send it across the pool table.

[MaaxSW33N3Yx]

@theuniscbravo mate! i was joking! rugby's shit! i play football (or soccer if youre american) i can just about reach half way with my strong foot.

[theuniscbravo]

@MaaxSW33N3Yx T'is obvious, so was I.I am proudly South African (where they build rugby players like Steyn),and understand both what is meant when referring to football or soccer.I like football,but have never played it.I am a big fan of rugby.Now this does not mean that I have to insult your preferance of sports.

[MaaxSW33N3Yx]

@theuniscbravo dont worry mate! just a bit of fun, i play rugby aswell, but football is my life and id prefer it by far!

[RugbyGaming]

When people drop kick from that far out they only just make it over the cross bar, but that wasnt close, that could go another 30 metres and still got it over wow. this is amazing South Africa player.

[RonBurgundy161]

Jesus fuck.

[HollyJaime]

Sweet Lord - That was beautiful . Seeeee his penalty kicks . He can kick it from just about anywhere . The Springboks suffered a massive blow in losing him before the Rugby world Cup quaters - 2011 .

[AndreSaldias]

hold on, he did what??? omfg

[44redman1]

press 9 every 1.5 seconds for epic laugh

[ricfdef]

Awesome player! Big loss to Springboks at RWC! Green and Gold!!

[AtTheDriveBy]

hes hit that from 60 over the bar with change....super boot indeed.

[whozyou42]

holy........shit

[fanaplis]

number 10 power :)

[fanaplis]

number 10 power :)



[jmodyrts25]

I have goosebumps on my balls after watching that

[biondinoxyz1993]

the really amazing thing is the one that the ball still going beyond the posts!!!!!!!!!!!

[greghmn]

it was a low kick so it coulda gone further if higher. also, he coulda made it from 70! in american football, the longest field goal in an actual game (with a slightly lighter and more aerodynamic ball) is 63 yds (about 57.6 m)!

[CerebralPrince10]

@greghmn

but in American football you don't get a full run up like Francois just got nor do you get the drop, you get a very short quick run up before the defense blocks it

[LdotisaG]

@0:25 thats what she said....

[eaze1984]

*academy



[eaze1984]

thats nz rugby acamedy right there



[AnthonyDHDR]

@eaze1984 He's south african, actually.

[eaze1984]

yeah im not saying he aint, im saying he went to a rugby academy here in nz

[Yellowwood97]

@eaze1984 Nz academy???? idiot.

He's from grey college in bloemfontein. he went to the sharks academy.

[jimmyzo3o]

@Yellowwood97 He actually did train here at the NZ academy for a wee while mate... Get your facts straight before you fly off the handle. Seems like you're offended, chill out.

[vymmas]

Love the way he turns around and doesn't look back when it's not even half-way there.

[kyeson28]

he still cleared the posts by a mile

[Achmed3700]

He and I is a proud South African :) :)

[Jaso700]

FUCK!!! amazing!!!! Fracois Steyn u freak!!!! GO BOKKE!

[5BMXer5]

i reckon the key is hes just been playing rugby for an hour so he would be tired and then he just pots a 60m dropgoal 2 easy

[AtTheDriveBy]

Money.In.The.Bank

[ksperfriendlyghost]

the man didn't look the ball after the kick, BOSS

[RevDepZee]

@rodycurtis: Im an american, and I totally agree with you lol. That was one hell of a drop! I had a player on my local club hit a drop from about 55 out, but be had NO room left on it. Just made it over the post.

Stayne hit that from easily 60 out with room for about 10-15. Incredible.

[rugbyking32]

im 14 i got a drop goal from 40m it missed but it was close and had plenty of distence then i look at this vid and know i will never beable to blast it like him

[DaMo1239]

@rugbyking32 The reason Francois kicks so well is, because when he was younger his dad made him kick a rugby ball filled with water ! I remember him as a schoolboy in 2005's annual derby day between Grey College and Selborne College in East London. He kick a penalty off the Tee from his 10m line over the posts into a Gusty east-wind and it still landed on the middle of the Astro which is directly behind the 1st team field !!!!

[rugbyking32]

@DaMo1239 no wonder he is so good the amount of power is amazing thanks for the info :)

[RacingTurtl3]

Cut your fucking hair Frans! And you've had too many french pastries.

[TheMrCoolT]

@RacingTurtl3 u got ur wish

[Bandyfoz]

Francois Steyn, I got worried whenever he appeared on the screen in the RWC final 2007.

Take that kick from the 22 next time, come on lad. Bonkers. Sensational!

[IrishDub18]

he could have got that another 10 - 15 metres behind the 10 meter line

[rodycurtis]

Those two people who disliked must be Americans who don't understand..

[TheSpaztictoad]

0:27 crap

[xl3lade]

I thought that the ball has to bounce for it to be a drop goal

[SamAngliss]

@xl3lade it did bounce

[metallogic1]

simply: WOW

[singningwongho]

holy damn

[ashisbest1]

I thought Eddie + Steve-o were bad commentators!

[nimrod379]

that is insane!! i love the way he immediately turns his back on it was well - "nah don't need to watch it, I know it's over!"

[beihang07]

these commentators are hilarious! He sounds like he is having an orgasm!..hahahaha....Kill myself laughing listening to them!

[MegaAnthead]

" Thats a huge bitch ! "

[MegaAnthead]

fake

[bells109]

wat a kick and a half

[MrJaborn]

and he still gets like 10 more meters

[beardedcollie39]

keep pressing 9

[ooABoo]

or Joe Lydon even lol

[ooABoo]

Joe Jydon 1989 *cough*

[Barnsie14]

oh how silly he would have looked if that missed

[Josh911T]

that had at least another 5 or 10 meters on it

[cammatt97]

thatwas from 60 and it still went over the top of the goalposts  that is incredib

[superbill3001]

man i can't only do that from 30 metres this guy look like didn't even try from 60. lol man what a kick. walks away like its nothing.

[heldindook]

he was getting hugged BEFORE it went over.

[Cationification]

If the referee says it's a drop goal.. THEN IT'S A F**KING DROP GOAL! So shut your kindergarten lame comments up.

[MuchoMinosTortilla]

For all the people saying its a punt even if it was it would be remarkable because that still went seventy meters.

[Samax13]

chabal: "my hero"

[Sm0keyJJ]

are these commentators high. Our commentators would be screaming if this happened in Super Rugby

[67KurtDonaldCobain94]

South African!!!!!

[BevanChu]

In all fairness to Benji, league balls are harder to kick a long distance

[Prefect007]

@BevanChu league balls are rounder and easier to kick accurately the extra distance that a Rugby ball can travel (being longer in shape) comes predominately from torpedo kicks, which is clearly not applicable here. The extra compression available from the pointed ball has little effect.

[220smudge]

That was the coolest drop goal i have eva seen

[mole5k1]

Of course it's a drop goal. Doesn't take a genius to see that it hits the floor before his boot makes contact, all you need are a pair of eyes. In fact 1 eye will be sufficient.

[mwhite4324]

Benji Marshall eat your heart out

[shinobiJP]

@mwhite4324 while I'm not trying to take anything away from this guy, he did have a run up while Benji was on the spot.

[willdude21]

Why do people keep saying this is a punt, it's clearly a drop kick. He drops it, it hits the floor and then he kicks it = drop kick. It doesn't have to bounce a foot in the air to be valid. Are these people watching a different video or something?

[goungoun2]

did that ball even touch the ground??

[Cationification]

Omg he could of done that from his 22!

[Marhleet]

interesting, wasn't a drop goal, he punted it.

well, in league, should that count ?

[Gillieeeez]

@Marhleet its wasnt a punt....

[conor1497]

fairly good strike...

[KlonoaPS1]

that drop goal is bigger than lot of players punts

[cheesecakerules1]

sexton and o gara rule and even more when ireland win the rugby world cup

[0910dc]

@cheesecakerules1 dont be silly. o gara can kick and thats it. the points he creates for your team are usually lost because he is so shit in defence. and sexton is nothing special. to say your going to win the world cup is just stupid

[PLATEOFCURRYCHIP]

@0910dc in fairness now... i accept that o gara isnt the greatest in defence but he'll put his body on the line for the team.. its hard to find many kickers who can gain possession like his kicks and no not all our points are lost because he's shit in defence... but i do agree with you in saying we wont win the world cup... too many players guaranteed their position on that team and some players need to change their attitude towards the game... luke fitzgearld being one of them!

[PLATEOFCURRYCHIP]

@cheesecakerules1 no ... just no...

[zestb114]

@cheesecakerules1 DREAM ON...

[fsteyn447]

did you like my kick, come watch my vidoes at steyn.com

[1234howrya]

That is sick

[MrRugbyman96]

You made me dream

[boklam]

amazing player

[rallychamp2003]

Great drop goal and great commentator!

[hakametal]

@rallychamp2003 The second part of that comment was sarcasm i hope!

[mushuzk]

wow look how early he turned after he kicked it

[charliehenryrufus]

@0.12 thats not a drop goal????

[waspsrugbydude151410]

the commentator is better than the drop goal

[Doylz1]

larkhams is better XD

[SuperJay2cool]

best drop goaler in the world, good enough to win games. but apart from that i don't really think hes a good all round player

[DexStanT]

The ball travels about 54m before it even starts to come down

[ryko26]

the commentator sounds like he's watching rugby for the first time. What a twat

[0910dc]

@ryko26 how does that make him a twat

[ryko26]

@0910dc er...because I presume he ISN'T watching rugby for the first time?

[0910dc]

@ryko26 so hes a twat for sounding like hes only just watching rugby even though he has obviously watched rugby before. ok then whatever , i guess that makes him a twat lmao

[ryko26]

@0910dc lmao

[Samax13]

hey doug flutie, you watchin this?

[duanebal]

Next time run a few meters back and do it again. He had loads of distance on that one. Lekker een Franna!

[davedavid86]

That's the trouble with the ABs.. they don't do drop kicks..
