@jonnybaynham1689 3 жыл бұрын

Wilkinson is the drop goal king. Doesn't matter how many attempts, he holds the record for most scored and he managed to freely score them more than anyone else. ROG scored some great winners but there's doing it at the death to win a crucial game and there's doing it to keep the points ticking over and take the game away. ROG did the former. Wilko could do the former and the latter. His DG against Saracens for Toulon was a classic example, as his kicking had taken the game completely away from them and the ease with which he banged the DG over took all the remaining wind out of Saracens

@@AndrewDavidForde not so fast Andrew.There are numerous reasons, as an SA supporter, for categorising O' Gara as a turnip and you included one of those at 2.20ish when he scored a try against SA.Honiss had instructed Smit to tell the Boks to stop dicking around when this giant turnip sneaked into score a try like a weasel. I guess Smit never contemplated that this turnip would behave like an Englishman. Too bad that Aussie centre never punched him harder in 2011. To be fair he was a pretty decent flyhalf.

@AndrewDavidForde 3 жыл бұрын

Is he though? I know he's scored a lot of drop goals but that's mainly because he attempted so many. In terms of significance, I'd argue that O'Gara is more so - just look at Wales '03, Argentina '04, Wales '09, Northampton '11, Castres '11 to win the game. All of these attempts were a single attempt in the last minute and would have cost them the game had O'Gara missed. Whereas with Wilkinson, the only significant drop goal as such was '03, where he'd already missed three drop goals in the same game...

@@ahdhhren204 I never at any point said Wilkinson didn't score drop goals at the highest stage of rugby. But had those drop goals you mentioned not been scored, his team still would have won the match - and more significantly so Wilkinson wasn't under anywhere near the same amount of pressure for those kicks as O'Gara was for the drop goals that I mentioned.

Andrew Forde I usually agree with you on most occasions, but Wilkinson’s WC winning drop goal trumps any of Ronan “gifted the game to the bokks” o’gara.

@AndrewDavidForde 3 жыл бұрын

@@newspaper9949 And that's completely fair enough, I agree that Wilkinson's drop goal in '03 was probably one of the most significant drop goals in Rugby history, with Sexton's vs. France also up there, but in my opinion, I believe O'Gara's ability to nail his only drop goal attempt of the match from 40m out in a do or die situation trumps Wilkinson's drop goal record. It's a completely subjective matter (that can never truly be proven) and I'm sure someone else will argue that there's another fly-half who's much better. But, I don't think him conceding the penalty against the Boks in '09 negates his drop-kicking abilities. We're all entitled to an opinion but as the video creator my opinion is always going to bear some sort of reflection on the video title, nature of the video etc, so apologies for that!
