I started watching rugby a few months ago and I've got to say that your videos are pure gold. They're very important to learn more about classic games, performances and players
Sorry can we just talk about Tipuric at 1:48 please? Takes the kick, breaks the tackle, drops the ball onto his foot from one hand without breaking stride, outpaces basically the while backline and then casually gathers and scores. And makes it look so, so easy.
I played as a prop forward for 17 years , and i would occasionally kick for touch . My best one was when i had it in the opposition half and found the touch line 5 meters out
@@_pluq9 😂😂 six nations player of the tournament slip your mind😂 take your welsh hat for a minute you’re not seriously saying tipuric is on Watsons level
@@boom4301 I suppose it's quite easy for a player like Watson to shine when they play for a shit team ;-). In all seriousness, everyone picked for the lions has a chance to start - who knows what Gats will do. Tips and Watson are good at their own thing. They may even start together.
@@dontbeaverage152 shit team that dominated Wales plus beat England and France away 😂 watson beating tips on almost every stat but when you ignore all that it would be easy to say tips was better :)
@@wladimirkosmei395 Chouly was great too : ua-cam.com/video/Ru9kWTyNuyw/v-deo.html (first try). Loic Jacquet was also a superb player in terms of foot skills.
Even as a kiwi I'd have to say that John lEales was the best goalkicking forward probably ever!he killed us with that kick that day!!!a good bloke too 👍😊
Great vid. I'd have included Richie McCaw and John Smit too, setting up tries for Conrad Smith and Victor Matfield, respectively, with grubber kicks. Also Scott Higginbotham against Samoa for Matt Giteau. Great vid anyway!
I can speak from experience here as a forward myself, I once kicked the ball down field quite a fair bit, and my coach yelled form the side line and I quote “why did you kick the f***king ball you f***ing idiot, you’re a flanker not a centre” but what a kick it was
Question: Parling's funny attempt at a grubber at 6:27 is given as a knock-on because the ball hits the floor before he kicks it. Understandable. But it's a pretty clean half volley, he kicks it literally as it hits the floor, like a football really. But what's the difference between that and a drop goal, which if it falls short, is a play on? Does the ref just decide if it's an attempted drop goal or not? Is there a steadfast rule? Just wondering.
@@AndrewDavidForde So the ref just decides? Seems ambiguous. I think I just like the weird rugby law loopholes, and yearn for more out of the box thinking (eg Italy Vs England)
Some forwards need to work on their kicking. But controversial opinion: I've always thought the try scorer should attempt the conversion. Clearly some can kick it the distance.
It's the equivalent of a video of goalkeepers scoring goals in that it's not in their job description. Look at the shape of many of the players involved, along with their ungainly techniques.

Tips oozes talent. He makes the chip-chase look easy. There's many backs who can't pull it off like he does.
Keith Wood 💪🏻
He wanted to be a fullback so badly
yes - never fails to bring a smile to your face - wish there were more like him playing now
He would challenge rob kearney anyway lad

Great to see so much of the great Keith Wood in another great compilation. Great stuff Andrew. 👍
The angry potato 🥔😡🤬😤
@@callum64151 😂😂
The Irish players have a big advantage, most grow up playing Gaelic football where you learn to kick with both feet and catch high balls as well
What about argies or italians? MOST POPULAT SPORT THERE... whether you know what I mean fellow ( ⚽️ )
@@guiverno1984yes but in Gaelic football you learn too kick out of your hands which would be more common in rugby
Best forwards kicking compilation on yt. Cheers bro
Should have included the Keith Wood kick in the lions 2nd test which eventually led to the series winning drop goal
Gethin Jenkins, an outside centre trapped in a prop's body.
0:39 Never thought I'd hear Lionel Messi and Shane Warne referenced in the same sentence by a rugby commentator.
What were the chances 😂😂😂
@@nlocnil3602 1 percent
0:33 that would be a throw in to his own team under the new rule!

Don’t think anybody asked
@@prryon5045For your shitty reply? Correct
Tipuric 💥💥💥
Tips absolutely doing a centre for pace
Absolutely loved these - always great to see a player do something they wouldn't normally do! My type of music in the background too!
Zinzan's for it's distance............Superb!
His kick was the first foward kicking for goal that I can remember. Absolute legend!
Tipuric with more up and under tries than most backs.
Hes trying the become a back because he knows he has no chance at getting picked over Watson for the lions😂
@@boom4301 he’s best flanker the lions got

it cant be a coincidence that so many of these involve munster...
and many completely forget Keith Wood hails from Munster..
Gaelic players
Best kicking forward was surely John Eales.
Keith Woods was also great. Not as good when it came to kicking for 3 points but still!
@@wladimirkosmei395 Chouly was great too : ua-cam.com/video/Ru9kWTyNuyw/v-deo.html (first try). Loic Jacquet was also a superb player in terms of foot skills.
Zinzan Brooke

Another cracking compilation. 👍👍😎
3:05 does anybody know what team and year that kit is from? presuming its france but not sure on the year. Thanks
The old classic dunning drop goal
Please make more forwards kicking videos, I would also recommend Thomas Waldrom kicks with it
Always a good day when Andrew Forde posts
6:49 my favourite one
Great video. Thanks for making it.
Very good Mr Forde !!
Great video Andrew

I believe with a drop goal it has to be a genuine attempt so in that instance it would be regarded as a knock on
@@AndrewDavidForde So the ref just decides? Seems ambiguous.

Zinzans is still the best!
Aah there’s that Jon Welsh kick! Just beautiful 😍
Have you ever thought about putting together a compilation of players playing out of position?
The Wilson chip'n'chase will always be legendary
So can forwards kick yes or no
No
@@AndrewDavidFordedo you know why
@@Sale_england_rugby_fan ?
Jon ‘chip n chase’ Welsh
Some forwards need to work on their kicking. But controversial opinion: I've always thought the try scorer should attempt the conversion. Clearly some can kick it the distance.
Adriaan Straus's kick?
That also lead to a try
I've seen Jonno launch one over from halfway in training.
5:16 Of course Parisse is on this video
he possesses all the skills😎
Zizane brooks world cup drop goal is legendary
Is that Tipuric at around the 1:50 mark?
Yes
Along with 2 or 3 other clips as well
Anyone who has every watched forwards messing around in a training session shouldn't be at all surprised by these!
could've had a whole reel of just John ' Nobody' Eales
No Mish from Twickenham? That one is iconic.
John Muldoon's kick v leinster and Furlong's grubber v Japan??
Zinzan's kick 👍👍
I was wondering if you would remember John Eales 👍😉
Would love to see the Simon Shaw drop goal. Can’t find it anywhere
Any Irish forward can kick .. they grow up kicking the ball out of their hands .. saying that .. What Matfield did was delicious.
Number 7 with the blue scrum cap is fast😳 1:50
That’s Justin Tipuric. He takes the cake when it comes to backs with kicking skills.
Why do I feel like this is afl footy
You can tell Tadhg Beirne is a Kildare man 💪
tips is basically a back in terms of speed/handling. skins the 12 after he kicks
Background music is?
Peter Brown has to be one of the best goal-kicking forwards.
In terms of open play, the greatest kicking forward has to be Zinzan Brooke.
From the tee, John Eales, for sure
Who is the kiwi nbr 8 scoring the drop? 😵 seems a footage from late 80's...
I love seeing some really unexpected plays like these, so fun
I think Nobody slotting the conversion to win the Bledisloe has to be top of the list here.
Heinrich Brussow has a cheeky chip for a Frans Steyn try if you need some clips for a part 2
And PSdT against Australia in 2019 which also lead to a try.
Andrew, forwards used to kick all the time, in both codes.
very surprised dane coles wasn't included with the amount of grubbers and chips he does
Background music??
"Jonny Hill let's fly"
The irish have had some great kickers over the years o gara sexton but best of all keith woods 😂
I remember CJ Stander hoofing it once against Italy which led to a Gilroy try in 2017
Pretty sure it was Gilroy who got it. Both he and CJ got 3 each that day
@@cormacd478 I think you're right
Some kick though
@@ieatbananaskins7926 you’ll have to edit again. I just looked it up and it was 2017.
@@cormacd478 ffs 😅
justin tipuric though
You can tell he played sevens
Ruan Ackermans kicks against Sale (Jonny May try) and Newcastle (Willi Heinz try) should be in here
Of course the springboks are good at it
I’m watching this cause I got dick of the day after kicking the ball in a rugby match as a forward
Needs more John Muldoon.
Bruh that’s me I just don’t get the tackle I give the ball away lol!
How the hell ain’t materas kicks here
Because I’m only human! From what game was that kick? Because I will include it in part two!
@@AndrewDavidForde I dont remember exactly the game but he uses to kick often (left boot).
keith wood is the only player who you could play anywhere from 1-15
Michael Jones, actually could
Keith Wood was in the wrong position!!
pablo materas chip and chase?
Top stuff
Fuck yeah we props are beast I also kick 😂😂😂😂😂
zinzan brooke
Literally in the video lad...
As someone who only watches football, why are these kicks so special? Can't they just hoof it upfield whenever they like?

@@tpac83 Ah ok, thanks!
Where is it written that a forward can't know how to kick?
Dyaum these big boys can kick.
With so little distance gained on the advantage kick these days, why not let the big legs kick it up the park?
Matera?
Where is Furlong against Japan ?
Apologies, missed it out. I’m only human!
@@AndrewDavidForde No need to apologise my guy
Bad timing, for 3-4 days, you missed this week-end Armitage winning kick for Biarritz comeback in top 14 during an incredible Basque derby
Almost like I could just make a part two
Wouldn't it be great if the fouled player had to take the penalty kick? Or would that be farcical?
Tadgh Beirne 💪
Up the Newcastle
Lot of boys being kicked out of the forwards club for stuff like this
Munster on top
Eddie Butler commentary can ruin anything
😂
Parisse drop:

Check the Juan Martín Hernandez's banana kick... and the crowd after that sang " Maradoooo Maradoooo " 😝 I REMEMBER IT VERY WELL
