Brilliant. Well done Tiaan. But it still takes nothing away from Frans Steyn. He has had an exemplary career over and above his kicking prowess.

[@cameronjeffrey9003]

Elliot Daly: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED tiaan Swanepoel: no

[@tiaanwest4905]

Tiaan Swanepoel you champion!! As a lions fan it's great to see you back from your injury and ready to put that boot into the URC teams!!

[@RyanJNawn]

Now that is next level cuz! Well done Tiaan, never doubted you'll take the lead in the long shots! Good to see that untimely injury is well and truly behind you now.

[@jameswyatt4443]

Frans Steyn needs to have a full stadium and he’ll get it first try

[@nickyd1283]

I played with this guy, you have no idea the range this guy has ...

[@dn822]

And that's the difference

[@saitamalowry6795]

Got a kick like a mule. Awesome Tiaan.

70 meters sick. Now do it with 50K in the stadium and the game on the line.

[@joedennehy386]

Pierre villepreaux may have something to say about that. In wellington athletic Park. No tee, no altitude but a huge wind might be in yards though not metres

[@islippers907]

He has done 60+m kicks during matches and not at altitude. It would be a toss up between him and Frans

[@carelrossouw332]

Johan Goosen kicked a penalty of 67.1 m while still at school (17 years old) playing against Paul Roos. And I still remember reading in the early 80's that Gerald Bosch once kicked a 77 m penalty...

[@DisneySucks]

Yeah in the 80's our media used to lie a lot

[@godzilla8872]

Got a cannon in that leg 😮‍💨‼️

[@James-dv6hb]

Well done Tiaan Swanepoel eish 70 meters!!😎

[@redrust3]

FYI Justin Tucker has the national football league record at 66 yards. That’s about 60 m. 70 m is insane!

[@troliskimosko]

I wonder if the ball shape difference makes a difference

[@redrust3]

@@troliskimosko Interesting thought. The American football is shaped with pointy ends, to make it easier to throw forward passes. Rugby ball is designed to be kicked more easily.

Did he do this at altitude? In which case it isn’t really comparable to Daly’s record…

[@braambezuidenhout9550]

Pretty sure records do not work like that dude longest kick is longest kick plus I seen Tiaan do 60 meters in a game against the sharks in durban so yeah

[@olgafourie9140]

There is a big difference doing it on a field no pressure. The pressure in playing a game is different.

[@nickyd1283]

brother, I played with Tiaan. He nails this kind of kick in high pressure games

[@harveyoleary3222]

altitude !

[@hennoliebenberg5391]

I've said it before, Tiaan Swanepoel is like frans steyn reincarnated. It's a pity he is already 26 because from the 1st time I've seen him play at the lions I immediately thought 'SPRINGBOK'. I hope he has a good 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 season to put his hand up for selection.

[@SafferPOV]

I hope he gets more game time this coming season, either at #15 or #10. He did very well at #10 during the Currie Cup

[@mariopperman1113]

Don Clark kicked a goal from a marked ball in his own 25 to win a test between the All blacks and Lions using a leather ball and without a tee and his run up was straight behind the ball and from the toe of his boot

Toe hacks are inconsistent, but definitely go farther when kicked by a skilled athlete (like the original DC)

[@krlauf5307]

leather balls were heavier, and the playing surface probably muddier too

[@will1964]

Not a like-for-like comparison, this kick is at 1800m above sea level compared to sea level for Elliot Daly. So at that altitude, the general consensus is the ball travels an extra 10m in distance, so have to still give it to Daly, and I'm not an England fan. But they are the facts.

[@notyoureverydaycultist2579]

Daly had the wind right behind him so that plays a bigger factor

Yes it is at altitude, yes that does help but he still has to land the kick. Give credit where it's due. Perhaps a condition on this test should be sea level conditions. A.Smith did a one handed pass to get the record on fastest pass too, one could argue that conditions and rules need to be in place to make it a fair contest. Credit to world rugby.
