Awesome! I watched Francois Steyn practising before a game at Twickenham, he placed the ball on the 22m line in front of the post, we're thinking he's just going to knock an easy one over, but not Francois he turns round and goes for the posts at the opposite end, to our amazement the ball just dropped under the bar.

@DexStanT if it is 66 then yes but it doesn't look it. Record currently stands at exactly 64.2m to Paul Thorburn (welsh fullback in the 80s). If you look up the video he takes it on the angle and further in his own half than his own 10, absolute legend considering rugby players back then didn't hit the gym anywhere near as much as todays. Having said that, Steyn has a leg cannon and is so young i reckon it's only a matter of time before he's getting closer to his own 22 than his 10

from wikipedia:penalty kick measuring exactly 70 yards 8 and a half inches (64.2m) against Scotland. . Pauls kick was the longest in a test match. Steyns kick was 66 m and taken closer to the touch line, hence him being closer to the halfway line. that being said, spotting the difference of less than 2 meters on a rugby field is pretty difficult

@mjhansford so when u say harder what do u mean ? coz i assume u meant that if u are tryin to kick for goal its harder to get the ball thru the goal posts in terms of accuracy, technique and kicking power ? so are u talkin about a goal kicking situation or jus the ball itself ?

@mjhansford Ganikowski may have the NFL record for field goals, but if you look at college records I think the record is 78 yards. College use a nike ball I believe, its easier to kick. NFL currently use the duke, which is a lot harder and provides some resistance

@bluebirdboys yeah these guys are taking the piss. The Thorburn kick is not only physically longer, when you take into account it was kicked on a murky day at Cardiff Arms park, with a leather ball that probably weighed twice as much as a modern one and off a pile of sand - it is CONSIDERABLY longer. So big fail on that South Africa fans, you are out like your team in this years World Cup.
