Mark McLinden kicked a similar one, on the stroke of half time, against Wigan for Harlequins. He claims he just booted it because he thought it was half time, Quins has a decent lead at the time, but Wigan fought back in the second half and the drop goal was the difference at the end.

IIRC Uncle Fester also performed a similar feat for Bradford against us at the Boulevard, to win them the game

Context of the game not worth much but difficulty level def up there with the best I've seen. If it had been a RU game the queen would have given him a knighthood!

seen plenty in union.....didn't want to be accused of trolling, but now you've opened the door.......

I'd love to see that again. In fact, if love to see that whole match again. I've lost the VHS I had of it!

Benji's from the halfway line was immense

WoW

Although it caught Saints by surprise, Richards didn't have too long to execute.
Stunning effort !

That's why I prefer it to Benji's effort. Although ridiculously good, Benji's effort was specifically set up from a DG, Richards' was sheer ingenuity and speed of thought.

Brilliant kick.

Meh. Marlon should've gone for the chip over the top and try in the corner.

Best one I ever saw was Andy Farrell against Leigh at Hilton Park. It was from inside his own half and it destroyed the Leigh lads............He was only 12 at the time.

Maybe he just swung his foot at it and got lucky
