1) Stransky's drop

 

2) Morne's kick to beat the Lions

 

3) Jannie de Beer's kick in a viscious rain squall to take us into extra time against Oz in 99WC

 

4) Frans' massive kick against NZ from well inside his own half

 

5) Pat Lambie's 50 metre effort to beat NZ.

What about the 5 Great Kicks by Jannie De Beer that knocked England out of the world Cup?  I think it was in 1999 when they were just starting to built a team that would later win in 2003

 Good choices Moz, I'm sure there's more or even better one's,  but I can't think of any. Do recall all the ones you mentioned though.

Ja Draad those come to mind. To Shark's point, I could have chosen de Beer's barrage of drops that sank the Poms, but that Semi Final kick was under enormous pressure. Both good choices I think.

 

 

It's odd they are best for different reasons....the significance of the Stransky drop....the physical challenge in both Frans and Lambie's kicks. The mental pressure on de Beer, Morne and also Lambie.

Don't know of that is quite correct, SB. IIRC, a very large part of that team left after 1999 and Clive Woodward basically started with close to a clean sheet towards the 2003 RWC.

 Maybe no big dramatic kicks, but Percy's consistent, metronomic kicking in 2007 was massive for us winning the World Cup.

 Bob, long time no see! I think chip kick,  catch and score should be a different category.  I recall some nice one's from Habana as well. ..against the Blacks as well.

Most of the team, forwards especially retired shortly after the world cup in 2003. I remember the Ozzie media were calling them Dad's army. Jonny Wilkinson was young, but most of the team was old- especially the forwards.
