Frans Steyn, when he played with the sharks, before the matches he would go out and just entertain the crowd with some practice kicks. Mind you, this was in Durban, at sea level.

Jeez its amazing how good they both are at kicking...

Very entertaining. As a former 80/90's rugby player/kicker I'm not sure this kind of comparison with Paul Thorburn is possible. This is like comparing Roger Federer with Bjon Borg. 1. Modern Paul is half the weight of the 1980's ball and "flies better". 2. Boot Technology in contact area and stress on standing foot improved. 3. Tee's not used in those days (not even a bucket of sand that was used in the 90's). Getting under the ball perfectly took huge skill. Paul had one attempt. these guys had 5. Good old heel in the ground to make a whole stuff!!!! 4. The modern pitch/turf has way more purchase on the standing food. 4. Mental toughness in "live test" conditions. these guys has no spectators to boo if they failed! The reason the Thornburn kick is so historic I guess is that the World Record still stands. Quite amazing 35 years on.

Very impressive kicking! A variable though is the wind condition, which can make a big difference. They would obviously both have picked the most favourable direction to be kicking. But this is about as good as it can get from opposite sides of the world…

Love these new videos

I was privileged to be coached by, albeit very briefly, the legendary France fullback, Pierre Villepreux. I have not seen a better kick than his penalty against the All Black in 1978 (watched on TV replay - as was 2rs old in '78) . During kickabouts at training, I regularly watched him stroke the ball over from near on 70 metres. His best trick was a drop goal from the corner flag which he never missed. None of the actual players in the squad could do what he could do in his 50's. To this day I have not seen a more natural kicker of the ball. Remember, this was all done without a kicking tee. Just a good old fashioned crows nest!

Two brilliant kickers but would like to say that Paul Thorburn's kick was in the Winter mud, striking a vertical ball placed in that mud with no kicking tee and running on to it at an angle, not straight on. Incomparable but all good fun.
