all i do is look at the post, try remember where it is, look at the point of the ball i need to kick and then just ram it through with the laces part of my shoes
Difference is in the shape of the ball. A rugby ball is rounder than an american football, so even though tilting it forward means you have a greater margin for error, with a lot of practice you can still be accurate and powerful consistently. If you tried tilting an american football forward, the margin for error is even greater thanks to the point, to the extent that no amount of practice could master it
I've played American football for years and was a place kicker. I am now a Rugby place kicker for about 10 years now. The tilting of the ball away from you does'nt work with a football as it does with a Rugby ball because of the difference in shape. The results would be so much different.
Ahh! Makes sense. What I find funny is there is no American football tee that allows the ball to be tilted forward! We've had it wrong the whole time! Love donning the pads and helmet, but can't argue results!
Help me out Rugby guys. I was a place kicker (American Football) during my high school days. The biggest difference I'm seeing here is the angle of tilt the ball has on the tee. I notice that you rugby guys tilt the ball in the direction of the goal posts. When I was kicking, I always tilted the ball the exact opposite direction; towards me, the kicker. That angle gave me more margin for error and helped me gain lift. How does tilting the ball away from the kicker help in rugby?
Hey, IRB. This is a very serious question: Like millions of rugby fans in this world, I'm not Anglophone. So, I not understand this video and others of Total Rugby. You can use subtitles in other languages? Français? Español? Italiano? Português?
the further you tilt it towards the post the further you will be able to kick it, in theory, the more upright you place the ball the more hight you will get! i dont know about kicking an american football! never don it for posts! but everyone likes the ball positioned differently! everyone has prefrences!
Can anybody give me advice when dealing with the wind because I can never seem to judge it well, which Is bad because I live in Ireland and by the time the season starts Ireland is nothing but windy and rainy days.
Luke Johnson I live in Ireland 2 when your kicking pick up some grass and drop it if it's like Ireland and string your aiming for what ever post is going against the wind
Not even a keeper to beat! How do these pros miss? Especially the kicks that are fairly close! They have nobody to beat so no power or curl is needed just accuracy and they still miss! Good at chasing the eggs but can’t kick a ball to save there life’s

jester sage wth ? Who kicks with their laces part of their boot 🤦♂️
defo the best know how instruction ive seen yet..n also from the "Master" himself..love it!!
slightly odd that jonny's kicking coach is preaching about landing on the kicking foot yet wilkinson himself doesn't do this
What a fantastic video
johnny Wilkinson is the greatest goal kicker ever. he's my hero
Austine Declan Dan Carter to be honest is definitely the best
cam morris i like Dan Carter too but Johnny has an edge over him in my opinion
Wilkinson probably a slightly better kicker. Carter definitely a better player though.
Neil Jenkins best ever
Morne Steyn

I like the way it shows a clip of Mirco Bergamasco when talking about bad technique... harsh but true.
uses very good examples and referrals

@travis Boucher I kick like you do but if you point towards the goal you get more power if you hit the very bottom

Great video :D!!
David alred is a great kicking coach!
i know this is late, but did he coach on any other Lions tours apart from 05' ?
infra white from my research he went on the 1997 lions tour as well. Not sure about any other ones. Neil Jenkins took over after 05 I think
@@seanlenehan3666 He did 01 as well
