France have been doing beautifully so far let’s hope you guys can stay on your A Game for the six nations because England and Ireland have found some new spirit in their game plans
@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart This is precisely why I've said I'm looking for this particular edition. Scotland, Ireland, England and France look like very serious contenders.
As a South African and Japanese rugby supporter (since 99) I just want to play the game again! 2 years (and counting) is too long of a sabbatical for not playing rugby.
I'd love to see some vets do this. I know a former international who can kick perfect spirals in jeans and dress shoes (because he was out kicking me in such garb one day while I was in 'proper' kit). I remember watching Percy Montgomery warm up for Newport once where he was dropping perfect spirals on a dime from touchline to touchline.
Anthony Bouthier (France) made the same challenge later and destroyed the contest. The only one that could go further is Frans Steyn. But he would need another pitch.🤣🤣🤣
Jay Boyle a young fella playing in Adelaide, South Australian local footy comp kicked 80m goal. Now thats with an AFL ball thats heavier than a rubgy ball. Lets give the young fella a kick with a union ball.
I don’t think it was a fair comparison. If you looked at the pitch that Willie was on it had thick and long grass compared to Stuart was on short grass which gave him advantage since roll was included. They should not have included roll.
trust me from someone who knows , there are times at sandy park where an old lady could kick the ball 100 Metres!! there are times where little grubber kicks go beyond the dead ball line
Le Roux is in much warmer conditions and is also (probably) at higher altitude, both of which will have a big impact on increasing the length of his kicks. having watched Hogg play a ton i cannot recall an opponent kicking further from ball in hand than him. so i would say if they were both to kick in the exact same conditions Hogg would win relatively comfortably.
@@Demondoink1 tbh it’s all about the bounce as Willie said. And taking a long run up isn’t feasible in a game. Teams also have different kicking strategies with Northern Hemisphere teams preferring to kick deep whereas Southern Hemisphere teams preferring to comb it. So it’s difficult to judge who is better quantitatively.
Yeah at least do it in an enclosed stadium without wind same ball same grass etc. If your gonna bother to do these competitions at least put in a bit of effort
You are all forgetting Anthony Bouthier..... Who did this for France against England in the Six-Nations. Yep. Not an artificial environment like this. In a Test Match. Allez Les Bleus 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
Probably the worst camerawork i have ever seen. Literally didnt see any kick properly. One thing i cannot understand about sports filming, why they dont get ex rugby players and or at least propoer sports fans to record the footage. Literally all i wanted to see was a fixed wide shot from the side of the pitch ideally above ground level, to get a good view of the flight of the kick. Such rubbish.
As a French supporter, I can say Hogg is easily one of my favourite players of all time… I can’t wait for the next edition of the 6Nations.

@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart Scotland as well

Allez les bleus
I found myself yelling: "That's a gorgeous spiral!" at Willie's last kick 🔥👌🏾
I said the exact same thing!
It belongs in the Louvre
Would be interesting to see how far Frans Steyn would get
Need a bigger rugby pitch
We'd love to see it! We need everyone that wants to see it to Tweet him and ask him to get involved!
Mate he could kick it across a whole country
Hey we need it to at least be a contest 😁
You can't do a challenge like this without Steyn, pretty sure he'll beat everyone.
Should have asked frans steyn
Frans Steyn hits drop goals from 60m, he's too overpowered for Hogg😂
Actually his punting wasn't exceptional
Can we please re do this one with Frans Steyn
Yes! I dunno why they would put Willie
They didn’t pick frans streyn because he’d kick the ball clear out the stadium and that’d be annoying to fetch and document every single time😭💀
Gaffie du Toit would've been the champ if he was still available. Percy Montgomery aswell.
No!He will kick the ball out the stadium.
Frans one of the last few that still enjoys a spiral torpedo
The measuring tape starts at 23m. Love you SA 💕
Spot on. 😆👌
I promise sir, the dog did rest my tape
Well done Stuart, looking forward to the 6 Nations next year. I hope Scotland do better than 4th.
This aged like milk
Ah lads this is not comparable with different condition's. Agree let's get Frans Steyn on ..my god that drop goal against Clermont 😅
Exactly, wind & altitude when it comes to kicking
Why not Frans steyn he should be the one to lead the south on this one
They needed to make it fair at least
He would have won
Bring Andy Goode for the North, he would have done +70m as 16 year old
Difficult to measure when it’s in the stands
He is enjoying life on the plaas
Really nice seeing the guys having a little fun.
Be awesome to get a team on team set of challenges
Two incredible no15s. I thought le Roux would win it. Great win hotstepping Hogg. It's a joy watching you play for Scotland
“Amateurs”
Hogg and Le Roux: What was that, punk?
Bouthier: Amateurs.
Frans Steyn: Cute.
1:30 “it’s says 83...Is it possible?!” Lmao man believe yourself 😂💀
Then, “it got chewed by a dog” 😂
He saw it on the line that's why
@@beno8983 I promise sir, I really did do my homework
Frans Steyn will kick 100m no contest.
Hogg is at a disadvantage because he mesure the distance from the center. Willie goes straight from where he was to the ball.
Finally a South African in one of these
we needed frans
Wrong South African 🙄
@@l.a.benjamin6222 Frans steyn?
@@nicolasnel7788 nope Willie is the wrong guy...he wasn't evens suppose to move past Boland Cavaliers
@@l.a.benjamin6222 you mean school 3rd team
As a South African and Japanese rugby supporter (since 99) I just want to play the game again! 2 years (and counting) is too long of a sabbatical for not playing rugby.
Same here bruh I just recently joined a club and I'm waiting for my 1st match
Bouthier against England was the looooongest kick in rugby history
In my day that was called the torpedo kick!
I think it depends where you come from. In South Africa I think it's still called a torpedo
Bouthier vs england ?
Frans Steyn 👀
Well done Stuart! Volgende keer Willie!
No sir, I promise, the dog ate my tape. Wind & altitude matter a fair bit, even for a punt
Frans Steyn on a hot summer day at Ellis Park would probably kick it to Hogg's house.
I'd love to see some vets do this. I know a former international who can kick perfect spirals in jeans and dress shoes (because he was out kicking me in such garb one day while I was in 'proper' kit). I remember watching Percy Montgomery warm up for Newport once where he was dropping perfect spirals on a dime from touchline to touchline.
Was there any significant difference in altitude where these kicks were made? Obviously that would have an impact on the distance.
@@jimmylovescake6813looks like Willie is in the Cape region, so do not think there was much, if any, difference.
I know who would win the catching game lol
Get Frans in these Kicking challenges before he retires
Anthony Bouthier (France) made the same challenge later and destroyed the contest. The only one that could go further is Frans Steyn. But he would need another pitch.🤣🤣🤣
Willie didn’t tell anyone he was in Joburg. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get Frans Steyn there. He will shred them.
Paul Roos has great rugby fields.
You could have given us Willie's reaction at the end.
Frans steyn was torpedoed a ball over the main stand at Twickenham
Nice one Hoggy.
Jay Boyle a young fella playing in Adelaide, South Australian local footy comp kicked 80m goal. Now thats with an AFL ball thats heavier than a rubgy ball. Lets give the young fella a kick with a union ball.
world rugby,when are you guys going to host the 100m sprint challenge
Been waiting for something like this
Wa is Frans Steyn asb?
Rob Andree had a seriously huge boot on him. Mr Hoggs spiral never fails to impress though!
The 3 biggest punters that I ever saw growing up were Roger Gould(Aus) Jean Patrick Lescaboura( Fra) and Severo Koroduadua(Fij)
Lescaboura, the one stride place kicker.
@@kenrehill8775 The last toe kicker as well
@@williamweir1547 ah yes I forgot that
frans steyn will kick 100m
A following breeze makes a huge difference . Was Williy at altitude etc etc . Should have tried it when Willy was at Wasps.
I don’t think it was a fair comparison. If you looked at the pitch that Willie was on it had thick and long grass compared to Stuart was on short grass which gave him advantage since roll was included. They should not have included roll.
You should make a video to prove the injustice ;)
Cold conditions that hogg had are a disadvantage though plus having watched both many times hogg has a better and longer spiral
Longest AFL goal in resent time is 72m. That is only to the goal line, not where it landed. You could easily add 15m on that distance.
trust me from someone who knows , there are times at sandy park where an old lady could kick the ball 100 Metres!! there are times where little grubber kicks go beyond the dead ball line
I think That was an old lady kicking the ball mate ...... ... No wait it was Stuart Hogg easy to confuse the 2
@@graytoby1 oh shush ya donk
Hogg does long run ups and gives it his all whereas Le Roux takes a couple of causal steps and you get the feeling he could do much better.
Le Roux is in much warmer conditions and is also (probably) at higher altitude, both of which will have a big impact on increasing the length of his kicks.
having watched Hogg play a ton i cannot recall an opponent kicking further from ball in hand than him. so i would say if they were both to kick in the exact same conditions Hogg would win relatively comfortably.
@@Demondoink1 tbh it’s all about the bounce as Willie said. And taking a long run up isn’t feasible in a game.

Willie was at his high school alma mater which is in Stellenbosch. At 137m above sea level, it's hardly in the stratosphere
That's Willie for you - you'd always expect him to do better.
@@Demondoink1 Frans Steyn says hi 🤣 but jokes aside, Willie is basically at sea level, he's near Cape Town.
Beating a bloke at altitude when he is near sea level is no joke
In my days we called this torpedo
I mean seriously? First up: put both guys in the same conditions (wind, grass, etc) and then replace Le Roux with Frans Steyn…
Yeah at least do it in an enclosed stadium without wind same ball same grass etc. If your gonna bother to do these competitions at least put in a bit of effort
nice one Hoggy, on my birthday too!
And that's what I call a contest
How long was Bouthier's kick against England in 2020?
80m
I got a picture with Stuart hog
When Hoggy starts trying : “67, not bad”
I’d say he has another 10 from 77..
@@mr.codingmaster2 I think Willie did pretty well at sea level and with no wind behind him! But it was fun to watch
Sorry, but Frans Steyn is the boot foot to beat,no?
They call a torpedo a spiral?... I was checking maybe it's a banana kick or something
Was wondering the same thing! Torpedo!
All the variables involved makes doing this in two different locations pointless.
be the ball
We’re they both at a similar altitude?
4:50 😩
Frans Steyn ???
so you choose willie and not frans steyn...
Wille Re Roux Was The Better Kicker Here Hog Had The Wind
Can u pls do joe Simmonds v Marcus smith
God bless and protect everyone
Should have tried this at altitude, say in Jhb or Pta., interesting to see if kicks would have gone further.
honestly at altitude in SA you're getting a good 5-10m more distance. Sometimes more.
A loudmouth like Hogg and a great guy like Willie. I'll support Le Roux anytime✌🇿🇦
Mooi oom Willie
Bring in Naas Botha!
why nobody asked me too take part in this activity
You are all forgetting Anthony Bouthier.....
Who did this for France against England in the Six-Nations.
Yep. Not an artificial environment like this.
In a Test Match.
Allez Les Bleus 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
I want to see somebody go against frans steyn
There are other players who can kick further like Steyn, Kunavore, etc.
AFL players are probly best at this although the ball does make some difference. Players like Luke Hodge and a lot of others could torpedo a ball 75m.
Cant even see them kicking, whoever did the editing should actually show them kicking instead of their foot or front on shots
Bouthier still the best with a 80m kick in a match
71 is still good💪
Would like to see Hoggs ball land and roll
Get big Gavin Henson on, that's 100m everyday
How about something a little challenging - an inward foot spiral..
Lekker Willie and hogg
Can't wait for the next 6Nations. Hoping Covid doesn't ruin it
Don't understand this game results. I thought was normal to kick 80 metres with a good one, even once I did more than 90 metres on my regional league
Altitude!
Frans Steyn
H'on the Hogg 👏👏👏
should've got Ben Healy
Bring FRANS in
They don't look like spirals to me.
If its not in the same conditions doesnt count
The roll is so arbitrary, why would you???
Terrible camera work. Most of them attempts didn't even look like a spiral kick.
Small octopus
Better Hogg🔥🥳🥳🔥
I'm pretty sure that's a fake Nike t-shirt 🤣
Hoggy boi
Nice hogg
Hoggy
Probably the worst camerawork i have ever seen. Literally didnt see any kick properly. One thing i cannot understand about sports filming, why they dont get ex rugby players and or at least propoer sports fans to record the footage. Literally all i wanted to see was a fixed wide shot from the side of the pitch ideally above ground level, to get a good view of the flight of the kick. Such rubbish.
That woman's English is broken.
