Francois Steyn 59m Place Kick

[thorbz123]

glad to see all those comments down there supporting big Pauly thorbz !

[13jamie13brown13]

where is the cross bar?

[rugba8]

thumbs up if hugh bladen made the video even betta for you

[DreadnoughtMetal2006]

What is altitude, then? Where I live, I'm 100m above sea level. Does that count as altitude or are we talking in thousands of metres?

I reckon I can kick at least 50m in a DROP GOAL only on a training pitch - I'll film it actually and see what happens.

[CR7CHRISTIANO]

Steyn is a beast

[MrStonecold69]

TYPE IN

"PAUL THORBURN"

LONGEST RUGBY KICK EVER

[mother66]

Big fucking deal. There are high-schoolers all across America that can routinely nail 60+ yard kicks on gameday.

[boxkick9]

@mother66 please tell me your not talkin about football.

[mother66]

@boxkick9 Yep. The crossbar is higher, the uprights are narrower, and you have 11 large, fast, angry men working to stuff the ball in your face, requiring you get the ball 10 feet in the air within the first 5.5 yards. Oh, and we don't get the luxury of taking a kickoff run at the ball ... just three quick steps.

[newlandsfaithful]

@mother66 your kidding right? american football is the stupidest thing i have ever seen

[tyriel444]

@mother66 fuck no they can barely make 30

[rcrawle]

@mother66

not to mention a yard is shorter than a metre

[TDaViEzZ1994]

Skip to 1:20 for the kick :)

[fsteyn447]

How greedy and selfish do you need to be to take a kick from behind the halfway, he always made it though!!!!!

[RandomGanker]

The Steyns say no to gravity.

[EOGHAN1231]

good kick but if i were older i would probabley get it.I got it over from the half way line and i'm only 14

[Wellsy2010]

@MBAXMAN93 No because then they would be accused of sour grapes, like the time they were poisoned in the world cup haha

[walesxscarlets]

paul thorburn enough said :P

[Wellsy2010]

not wanting to split hairs but the commentator clearly says he is 7 metres inside his own half so why does the clip title refer to 59m?

[DexStanT]

@Wellsy2010

commentator is not as accurate as the statisticians?

[closertofiftythanyew]

Nothing on Thorburn's 61+ metres kick next to the Taff at sea-level, copy paste youtube search,

watch?v=dTtTbcfwCMA

[FrayOfLight]

Luke McAlister did a 64metre one..

[DexStanT]

@FrayOfLight

63m- François Steyn hits a 66m shot for Racing Metro

[TDaViEzZ1994]

@rugga889 haha mega lolz on that thorbz123 guy-what a twat

its funny cuz its true, everyone hates him, even if thorburn is is so called uncle he still has no friends

:-D

[djReez793]

i was at training earlier and i was knocking them over from my own 10 metre line

[bail7591]

he isssssss a machine!!!!

[hugosemc]

it's amusing how much saffa comentators bust a nut over kicking so much.

[valleylad12345]

yea paul thorburns kick was a monster, and he used no tee and it was an old leather style ball.

[Tehui1974]

I'm a kiwi, but I have to give props to Francois Steyn's boot. I've never seen anybody kick the ball further than him. The kid must have steriods in his toes or something. I can't wait to see him back for the Boks, even though he'll make it harder for my AB side to beat them.

[mwhite4324]

@hill1916 and we care about that why?

[hill1916]

57 m kick at goal is impressive. But no way near as impressive as Pual Thorburn's kick with the old heavy ball of the 80s. Plus Thorburn didnt have a tee either....amazing power!.

[rorymcilroyfan5000]

i know this was in high altitude in south africa but its still a hell of a long way

[TheTotalRugby]

What a kick, I dont like him but he does have a huge boot.

ohh and 1:43 = milf

[philipeafroboy1]

@MBAXMAN93 one of them didnt actually go over

[P8ballK0]

I love rugby :) but my brother plays American football... I was just thinking.... If this guy played for an American football team... >:D

[Jacckkkkkkk]

@MBAXMAN93 Your an idiot, i never said he wasn't a good kicker did i? I said he scores less than half of those 50+ shots. Also, i watched that game live nob. haha you lose, ignorant South African faggot.

[Jacckkkkkkk]

they give Steyn the same hype before every single 50+ metre place kick he does, The annoying thing is he scores about these 1 in every 5 attempts......

[Shotgunpoff]

That aint 59 metres.

[monaroCountry]

Sebastian Janikowski

Height: 6 ft 2 in

Weight: 250 lb

François Steyn

Height: 6 ft 3 in

Weight: 222 lb

The main difference is that François is actually pretty fit and toned whereas Sebastian is more puddy and carrying a bit more baby fat.

[monaroCountry]

Sebastian Janikowski cant kick as far or as acurately as Francois Steyn. Sebastian's longest successful field goal is only 55m (61 yards). Francois can kick a larger, heavier and less aerodynamic rugby ball over 80m (88 yards) on the fly and has successfully kicked many field goals at 62m (68 yards) and further.

[isitonthereenough]

@monaroCountry any vids of him kicking 80m + on the fly? i know hes kicked 70 odd.

[donniebrasco24]

NFL kicker sebastian janikowski still has a stronger leg, but steyn is impressive for a skinny guy

[Jayps87]

Dude he is like 100kg, hardly skinny

[donniebrasco24]

janikowski is 120kg much much bigger leg

[Jayps87]

Yeah OK, but 100kg isnt skinny, thats what Im saying

[Jake174801]

Heaps off ppl get it from half eay now

[BOOTH1E]

i got it from the half way line the other day, was pritty pleased, although it took 3 goes

[ronaldoisgod1993]

good kick! but south africans are shit at kicking when they are not really high above sea level

[IgnaceR152]

they missed nearly all their kicks against ireland this autumn at croke park

[mesaboogielush]

This is at sea level it's in durban on the coast. Often high humidity in durbs as well.

[rustyrover1]

yeah . thats why they won the world cup ,at low level kicking , numnuts

[ronaldoisgod1993]

listen cocksucker did ye see them play at dublin!

they were shit!

[rustyrover1]

boks are the only team to beat the all blacks 3 times in a row in years ,dont know what crap team you support ,you just jealous ,cause you aint won fuck all ,cocksucker ..

[rustyrover1]

every time ireland do a tour to southern hemisphere , they get fucked over like a week village team .they should stay in that 2nd grade 6 nations shit wher they belong

[ronaldoisgod1993]

we havnt done a tour of the southern hemisphere i ages so i wouldnt no!

[Auxois]

SA just did a tour of Northern hemisphere and got beaten by Ireland, france, saracens and leicester...amazing

[karazn]

@Auxois true, but South Africa has an idiot for a coach and the best players were not playing...

[LukeAnthonyDavey]

but they beat south africa, and drew with australia. they did well.

[UHtiger]

This sort of shit is ruining the game. If I wantedto see kicking I'd watch soccer.

[erliate]

Paul Thorburns was the same distance, with a leather ball and in the northen hemisphere, so the ball travells an average of 10 metres less. suck out francois

[Bokboy1]

this game was played at sea level retard.

[MrGavman1991]

Thorburns was 70m was it not?

[gazzer994]

gd point but paul thorburns kick was from 68 metres nt 59, still, suck on that francois :)

[imacfubu]

not as big as Paul Thorburns kick, with an old leather ball

[revolution90908]

he is like a superhero

[treemania7]

dude

he is insane

[TheAtraxRobustus]

1:41 she can dance on my dick like that anytime!

[Keranofkri]

@TheAtraxRobustus if you're like 55 or so then good on you but if you are younger then it's a fetish I guess.

[hugosemc]

@TheAtraxRobustus dude she was...rough

[TheAtraxRobustus]

@hugosemc 5 schooner job

[dgm4gk]

ya i have heard about that

amazing isint it haha

[mjhansford]

What worries me is that he had several feet of room above that cross bar left....

I had heard rumour that he practises with his own 22m line and occasionally nails them, anyone heard about that?

[wgay22]

n big dicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[alxdnld]

jenki72, you missed out, mate. It wasn't just his kicks, although that's what everyone focused on, the boy played out of his skin. Racing Metro are getting the hottest property in world rugby right now, no doubt.

[jenki72]

PLEEEASE someone post a video of this past weekend's kicks. I missed them both.

[whatdidyoujustsee]

He kicked one from 60 vs the all blacks last weekend.

[lennard]

how the fuck does he kick so far

[StFidjnr]

I heard that ball say see u later.

[snowman250]

I call bullshit

damn with francois and morne the springboks are gonna do massive damage (almost unfair really you get a penalty in your own half thats three points to south africa)

[Fonoti007]

WOAH! that guy has robot legs haha. he looks friggin like 20 and he can kick it that far FREAK! :P Junior Percy Montomogery hehe

[TwixSMDB]

lol. u can;t compare percy to him, different style, plus percy can't kick long because of his paces. but this guy is f.... amazing !

[killaafrikaner]

no it was in durban

[like2surf]

Was this at Altitude?

[knoblord]

No it was not - it was played in Durban (the shark tank) right next to the Indian ocean!

[UnitedAus10]

yeh it must be, it still had 10 meters 2 go on it! ha

[rugga889]

Kings Park is at sea level, so no, not at altitude.

[Keranofkri]

@rugga889 at altitude he can make those from his own 22 when he hits it right. This is not at altitude though.

[Dkingofcharleville]

in realtation to thorbz123 if your uncle placed such a record kick why didnt he become a star to whatever national team he was from and why isnt it in the records

[johnboy83069]

he did and it was

[akamos]

what a technique, what a shot and there was even distance to spare!

[87Echo]

this guy got like robot power legs

[4CylinderTurbo]

Rugby Rugby Rugby League....

Brisbane Broncos Premiers for Nrl Premiership 09 :D

[thorbz123]

im not having a go at steyn , hes one of my favorite players

[thorbz123]

me ?

[rugga889]

Yeah.

There's really no need to parade that your "uncle" 's kick is "better" than Steyn's. I have seen it and it is impressive. Is there really any doubt that a super talent such as Steyn has a long way to go to beat his record?

[thorbz123]

mate :L shut it u twat , my uncle kicked his kick 15 years ago , they didnt have the pro boots , or the special designed balls, you are making yourself sound very stupid comparing the air density of durban to scotland :L , u twat

[rugga889]

Having just read the comments in your channel, it seems that everyone hates you.

[TONGATULE]

@thorbz123 yeah th scots suck shit at rugby. know one even knows who yr dad is so go home a fuck yr mum kunt,

kunt kunt kunt kunt , crips crips crips.

francois steyn will shit all over yr dad,

[TONGATULE]

oh yeah and yr mums a TWAT.

[reubend13]

@thorbz123 shut up you dick head? :)

[Dobermann2323]

@thorbz123 Seems like you the type of fuckface who goes around bosting about his pedo uncles kick. Shut the fuck up you prick

[davecscott1974]

@thorbz123 - twat. If Paul Thorburn is really your uncle, then you'd probably know that the 70m kick wasn't 15 years ago, it was in 1986, and that it was at the Arms Park, not Edinburgh. 

[Lloydbisschoff0102]

@thorbz123 If your uncle could kick better than franc. Steyn then h would be a REAL rugby player.. but no, he is a unknown little bitch!

[thorbz123]

paul thorburn , type in paul thorburn ;)

[patergaskin]

Francois Steyn would literally dominate your uncle like a little bitch.

[thorbz123]

impressive but has still got a long way to go untill he beats my uncles world record

[msfg1]

who's your uncle?

[Bulltwag]

what??? one meter.... In durban a 59meter kick are just as long as a 69meter kick anywhere else.. Because the air is denser the ball doesn't travel as far and there was a small breeze coming from the front... that pretty much adds another 2 meters. If it was in the highveld...at loftus.. or ellis park, the 59m kick could just as well between 45- 49m. because the air is thin in the highveld but it is not. so that kick was better than your "uncle's" record although the books says otherwise

[iluvboyzndgirlz]

A couple of things about that were extra impressive. It was towards the end of the game, and it was not at altitude. P.S. good to hear the commentators call the stadium Kings Park, and not the ABSA stadium, which is terrible.

[rafton18]

steyn = racing metro bye bye super 14 ahahahahaha

[8201em]

yeah carter has kicked it far but he is unconsistent

[whatthefaak]

HUGE

[LeathalWorksInc]

That is class...its only 57 meters, the commentators say it but still... i havent seen more than 57

[mrazfi]

Dan Carter has kicked 62 metres b4.

[Grock81fr]

True. I remember, against the Springboks. I've recorded this play for that super penalty. The commentators explained that the altitude counts much for the flight of the ball. But Thorburn is still the greatest for me.

[Schneebly06]

they say 7m in his own half, but thats with an angle too, so its going to level out to 59m, which it says in the little popup thingy before he kicks

[Blitzbok]

Carter is a poor kicker. I;ve seen other players kick far too, but not consistently. For Steyn it's the norm.

[bestfullback]

This is a massive kick from the 80s. It must be 60m at least on the angle

[bestfullback]

Sorry meant to put the link: watch?v=dTtTbcfwCMA

[rugga889]

Holy s***

That is a kick and a half

[springbok93]

"Francoooiiss Steyynn, Unbelievable Stuff!"

He's a machine me thinks ja?
