Francois Steyn - big drop goal against Cheetahs

[DannyB2275]

wow he made it with about 10 yards to spare amazing!

[SLASH570570]

exactly the reason why rugby has gotten boring... 2 much kicking

[billionaireboysclub6]

id say thats because of ping pong kicking, rather than 60 metre drop goals

[SLASH570570]

nope. its both. people get excited about tries. nowadays teams are only scoring their points through drop kicks and penalties, as well as playing aerial ping pong.

[SewnShutEyes]

It was so refreshing to see some brilliant running rugby in the Heineken Cup last weekend. Harlequins v Sale and Clermont Auverge v Leicester were absolutely brilliant games to watch. It's just a shame that a team like Saracens can get to the top of the Guiness Premiership whilst playing such a dull form of rugby.

[vinniechan]

It's not just Steyn to be fair, but both Steyn's (Franccois and Morne) practically catalyse the process by themselves.

[duhaa786M]

3 years to go b4 we get this golden boot back ;.)

[GaryTss]

@duhaa786M pretty stupid system you SA's have, why refuse to play a great player when they could increase the ability of their team, idiots

[katpiering123]

@GaryTss politics. Part of the team must be black doesnt matter how good they are. Emagine alblacks or Australia had to do the same having quota players.

[GaryTss]

@GaryTss but the whole rule about not having foreign based players in their team is stupid, why not play your best players

[duhaa786M]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[yaz044]

ok. now lets have some videos of the dozens he has attempted and completely bombed!!! good drop though.

[Jaybird1103]

Put him in the NFL or CFL.

[fandotcom]

you freak of nature man i recon he spent his child hood jumping fences and running from pigs in brakpan.

[lennard]

the only other drop goal close to that was larkhams in the 1999 world cup semi final

[ElectricGnuOrchestra]

Ah, don't remind me, it sent us tumbling out of the World Cup. It was a fantastic drop, though.

[Blitzbok]

@ElectricGnuOrchestra That was a fluke. The only drop he ever succeeded with in his entire career. Frans is a genuine threat.

[ncarey01]

nah there was one by a japanese player in the 2003 world cup that was prett immense

[Fonoti007]

that Francois steyn guy doesnt have human legs ahaha. seriously he has robotic power legs :L the guys a freak at kicking!

[macphersonleedsunite]

58 metres jesus that is a long one and mighty even be in the recored books for the Longest drop goal in the history of Rugby Union.

[mhansford888]

I think the restart wasn't the best, right down his throat. I think the guy that took the kick really shot himself in the foot.

[jdwet1980]

thats murder!

[baboonsfriend]

You gotta be joking me!

[H3ZDIZZL3]

Awesome boot.. could do without Brosnihan though!!!

[legendarycrazyboy]

Lol what the hell

[StFidjnr]

he has drop kicked his team to Currie cup glory.

[BowezyNo1]

Steyn is an absolute unit.

[WarGodzCB]

That is a fuckin beast of a kick, how the fuck did he do that?

[Tracypwns]

With his foot :p

[scrumtastic]

Jesus, Steyn is a freak.

That was awesome.

[RuisDieStem]

best player in the world (at his position though)

[legendarycrazyboy]

No he isn't If he is playing fullback you got byrne who i prefer..

If he has playing fly half he isn't even close.

Carter wilkinson Flood Peel cipriani ...............

[simparms]

Peel?

[legendarycrazyboy]

Jones i mean;)

[Ruiterand]

Great kick. And to think that was against the wind...insane!

[themaddestfella]

hes got a good pass on him as well saw him pass way over half way of the field (width ways) in the sharks reds game a couple years ago.

[springbok93]

And he tackles like a predator he's a powerful

runner can kick 7 shades of shit out of a rugby ball. xD

[dollyrocker87]

Wow...

[lukemzdabest]

I think he's the most under rated player in the world because aswell as his huge boot he can run too and Butch James starts ahead of him

[sideshowww]

he is so inconsistent because he's always trying new things . if he recieves the ball 10m in his own half and drops for goal and misses , who cares , if he gets it then is a big boost for the team.He is a an amazing player. Dont forget the penalty he kicked for us in the world cup 57 m out on the sideline . i put all my life savings on the fact that at 20 now one on this posting could have made that kick infront of 85000 people in a rugby world cup final.

[Faggy86]

ma che ha a posto delle gambe?!?!

[1u4nhass3tt]

the problem with him is he has so much ability but hes so inconsistent

[goonboy72]

he sucked when he played for the barbarians versus australia

[katpiering123]

I think his still too young, even to play for the barbarians.He must still settle down, he tries too many new things and struggle to make up his mind somtimes.

[bodjasg]

He is going to be a great centre, kick some england ,nz and wallabie ass with long range drop goals

[09BowornratP]

they're only worth 3 pts and its not like hes gonna make all of them...take nothing away from the boy, hes a legend, thats for sure

[RevelatorReplica]

The ball didn't touch the ground?

[bodjasg]

No, it did, He can kick the ball a mile

[BloubulleJ]

Of course it did!!! Or else the ref wouldn't have awarded it...He has a habit of doing this and is actually alot more consistent with these than you all think...he has done it against the blues & reds in the super 14 as well as against australia...from huge distances but his general play is inconsistent

[springbok93]

oh my gizzle, my hero he is awesome :P hehe 58 metres into wind :O wish i had sen that match, well done the sharks for winning the final woopwoop

[heshinator1]

All Blacks fan myself, but Francois Steyn is really some unbelivable talent, future legend right there

[thericky1]

teams have got to make sure not to kick to steyn eh.

[worcesterawarrior]

lol... you've got to be joking me!

[Deadmanslunch]

That was a bloody massive kick!

[Leeubok]

Unbelievable kick!

I agree ElectricGnuOrchestra, I cant stand Warren's commentary!

Hugh Bladen all the way!!

[bafanaspringbok]

this kid is a freak
