Rugby Kick Hits The Jackpot £250,000

An amateur rugby player has struck it lucky by winning a crossbar challenge competition worth £250,000.
Job Centre worker Stuart Tinner, who lives at home with his parents, hit the bar with an amazing shot from 30 metres - and all he wore on his feet were socks!

The competition was held at half-time during Saracens' 24-23 victory over South Africa at Wembley.

The 24-year-old, who plays hooker for Welwyn RFC fifth team in Hertfordshire, was the first of three supporters picked at random from the 46,000 crowd after applying to take part in the competition by text message.

He told Sky Sports: "I guess I just kicked it as hard as I could and I don't really believe what happened.

@hybridz10 Rugby is for people who don't get their nails done. Not only do we kick a ball in rugby, we use our hands too, something you footballers seem to do a lot, seeing as you're all wankers.

@dogeatme the difference between rugby and american foot bal is that rugby players dont wear helmets and pads. rugby is probably alot more aggresive since the amount of broken bones in a matter of seconds during games, in other words american football is aggressive but rugby is brutal
