The best drop goal you've ever seen

[Prestwick]

Paris, November 1999, Rugby World Cup quarter-final, SA vs England. Cue Jannie De Beer- pick any one of those 5!
[/b]

I love it how nobody whinged about how dull and boring that was! I guess it would have been different had De Beer had a white jersey on! Everyone was all "WOW! SENSATIONAL! INCREDIBLE! HOW EXCITING! ONLY IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, etc" :bleh!:

Still though, an excellent feat and personally I don't mind because, at the end of the day, whatever wins a game! :cheers:

From the line of 50m, he won the game.

I have a fond place in my heart for this one. Grand slam day '05.



But this one by Johnny was pure pressure.
Very well taken.
Matt Dawson should be given huge thanks for taking the ball so far forward as well, though.

Henson's is my favorite by far, especially since I was at the game.

Zinzan all the way !!!!! :cheers:

Zinzan Brooke in the 1995 RWC. Watching a no. 8 slotting one from 50 meters out is just spectacular.
