Francois Steyn's catalogue of long-range kicks

[@BarryJack44]

Francois Steyn: Treating rugby balls like they owe him money since 2006.

[@calnfl5747]

That drop goal against Clermont is unbelievable. Hit it from a different post code and still had loads left on it when it went over the bar. And looked so casual whilst doing it.

[@a.k.anative2044]

repetition during training must be insane. steph curry like

[@sfsfewrewsdafs6915]

That is the most monstrous kick I ever seen... could ve done.it.for 80 meters...

[@daggaboom]

He’d run back too before it had even crossed the posts. Too cool

[@stefannieuwoudt4782]

Frans Steyn stands as a titan in my all-time GOAT rugby squad, grossly underrated yet profoundly impactful.

[@yooniversal5716]

My idol growing up. One of the most understated and underrated players of all time.

[@Desi365]

He 's never been in the right team at the right moment, unfortunately. At least in his French career.

[@allanhutton1123]

No one ever played him strategically. Boks should have excelled and built a team around his excellents. But for some reason they always seemed to play him like an extra

[@KudaPrince-jb9du]

[@moneygivemenowplease]

To me personally as a casual he is the best player I've seen

[@elnielo1]

Im 66. Been a rugby league man all my life. WTF!!!! This guy is incredible.

[@ntandomokoena555]

That drop goal for Racing 🤯

[@deboradlamini4683]

You'll should see his 50/22's, even before they were a thing! What I love about Steyn is his BMT, kicking those in WC, WC finals, BIL series, last minutes in games. Can always count on him.

[@gonzalorubilar634]

Frans Steyn makes so easy to see the difference between being the best and being a LEGEND

[@archiebobo]

Holy shit, I’ve never seen those drop kicks before. That’s something else.

[@colingray9655]

Thanks Andrew. Those long penalty goals are brilliant, but the drop kicks - AMAZING!

[@tsoiboy4073]

Imagine facing a player you daren't risk kicking out of your own 22 to or giving away a penalty to even in his own team's 10 metre line. Insane.

[@TheHalicarnassis]

What a boot! One of my favourite springboks and so good as a versatile back. The amount of muscle he put on after his stint in France though… Beast mode!

[@cella6495]

Legend has it he can kick start a Boeing.

[@Goisis88]

Best long range kicker to play for the Boks since Naas Botha. Incredible all-round talent as well, worthy of a more rounded tribute vid. Architect of the 6-2 bench split due to his versatility. One of those rare seasoned players who started as a pacey utility back and closes his career built like a heavyweight loose forward. Would love to see this man win a 3rd world cup

[@wernertukker5420]

Absolutely agree. Makes one wonder how far Naas would’ve been able to drop or penalty kick these modern balls. You just know Naas was beaming every time Frans kicked a drop goal. I remember he really seemed to cherish his drop goal against Australia, shown in this collection. It’s a shame he couldn’t make another World Cup. Forever a Bok legend

[@LorenzoJaphta-w4x]

we outplayed the allblacks in the final there was never any doubt so dnt talk things you dont know about

[@LorenzoJaphta-w4x]

How can you say such a thing, sa is the only team to make the alblacks look mediocre, from the get go we didnt rest on our laurels did you even c our overall teamperformance, thers a reason why pollard played the final coz we knew it was gnaa come down to that.. one of the best rugby finals played ever....

[@CityNightsJC]

Happy retirement Frans, we'll miss you!

[@glennvanzyl4066]

The Roberto Carlos of dead ball kicking

[@ntsikazimema4579]

Some of those kicks are unreal, I mean 60m in NZ!!!😮

[@c38b88]

Hugh Bladen commentating on Frans Steyn's long distance kicks gives me nostalgia

[@jackm2939]

An absolute wand of a boot! One of those players you grow up watching and every so often hearing "Did you see Steyn's kick vs XYZ at the weekend?" To be fair though, has he ever done it on a wet Thursday night in the Sportsground vs Ensei in the Challenge Cup? 🤣

[@philipeafroboy1]

A wand? That's a siege gun!

[@dalibormlynek4197]

We need another Francois Steyn 😍

[@johnny5red42]

Puts a smile on my face every time !!!!

[@rockstarde9294]

He should be in the Springboks starting 15 - all the time!

[@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543]

Yes- very underrated player/ France had the boot + knowledge/ could plan his backline + versatile- they wasted his talents 😮

[@jeanleroux2508]

Without a doubt the best long range kicker in South Africa's rugby history.

[@Slappies007]

Easily the longest drop goal from point of contact to landing ever😮

[@wallywest9257]

1:05 Is just unreal, that's a 70+ metre drop kick. Biggest I've ever seen

[@DarkPlaysThings]

Imagine if he was playing at altitude as well! That thing could've had 80m in it! Absolutely absurd power

[@jaksdt]

His accuracy was better than his distance. That says it all. Double world cup winning legend.

[@PeterDawson-ii5ss]

An absolute legend,in my opinion the most valuable player in our country because he could play at so many different positions and he was a great long distance kicker.

[@Br0nzeBar0n]

I've been waiting for this

[@Gr8SkyLizard]

Was fortunate to be there at the stadium for his Currie Cup debut. What a great talent

[@mr.e6748]

Biggest drop goal kicks of all time

[@123abccc]

This mans boot is outta this world 😮

[@codepuncher]

One of my very favourite Boks. Not only the BOOT when younger with his speed and foresight . Then the older Frans, the brains and the power. What a champ. Playing 12 for the Boks is no free ride. That`s some tough stuff. Thank you Francois Steyn. I am sure Rassie has you in the future plans of Bok rugby. Edit to add ---- Australia 2027 lookout !! SA are coming to win.

[@theteenagereformer899]

If Mannie and steyn were the same age I would choose Frans steyn

[@DuchalvanWyngaard]

Like André Joubert, he could kick equally well with both feet. If he was left of the field he'll use his right boot and visa versa.

[@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543]

Yes - Andre j was jewel/ both him and Frans were underated + not appreciated

[@VincentMayogi]

This guy was absolute monster

[@RSAwarrior]

Unreal player, Bok LEGEND

[@braaitongs]

Wow, I didnt know how many drop goals he kicked!

[@PeterDawson-ii5ss]

An absolute legend by any stretch of the imagination.Extremely valuable player.

[@kutumbadavidsikota6320]

1:30 the moment he hit it he knew it was over. They don't make them like Frans no more!

[@AndreScheepers-p4b]

Arguably the G.O.A.T amongst Goats!!

[@yeahbuuudddy6334]

70m kicks from sea level... Sharks days, Longest ever seen

[@BloksP]

Legend

[@ruthcarter1360]

Now Francois has beautiful hair 💥🏉💜 his kicking is also pretty awesome

[@Steve-w8m4w]

Absolute howitzer of a kicker has to be in anyone's 23

[@kidMclean]

He is a machine

[@SportsFan0027]

Arguably my fav player of all time

[@Bongz90]

Damn this guy doesn’t miss

[@ritzemaritzema-xo4dz]

after danie gerber and naas botha the best rugby player in history

[@KryptonIstheFuture]

the prodigy

[@alfredkidd]

a rugby god for sure.

[@trudy_triad]

Francois (and Percy) with the good hair ❤

[@ebrahiemdaniels6491]

Interesting to note, the first kick of this clip which was against All Blacks could have been caught by a lock of the All Blacks as the ball was just dipping over the post

[@Garrett1240]

Are you allowed to block it like in volleyball?

[@johanclaassens8095]

Best of the best

[@gregvdm9434]

The legendary Kanon voet

[@jamesatkins7592]

What the hell was that drop goal... If players can master that, that's unplayable

[@jamesatkins7592]

And there's more... Wtf is this guy

[@DarkPlaysThings]

​@@jamesatkins7592For real! And that wasn't even playing at altitude. He could've slammed that thing from behind his own 22 and still landed it in SA

[@ImmortalChessDaily]

All Bokke support finding this video today us crazy.

[@rodericksmith9675]

Guy is a demon

[@eldiablo7785]

I’m tryna be like him

[@jayduplessis7698]

LEGEND

[@ZiyoliseMbatyoti]

I will be like him , remember the name

[@AntoinetteKirsten]

He was so handsome❤🥰

[@Garrett1240]

Then got old and fat

[@boerbull1443]

Its such a shame he missed this world cup.

[@lifeOFzeff]

Who hasn't he played for?

[@margueritedorettenel7394]

Best player ever

[@marcuspiera]

When Faf is big he wants to be like Francois

[@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543]

Faf can only dream😂

[@dannyarcher6370]

4:14 - Silly. 😂

[@jacqueshughes3085]

Imagine now, with the new dropout rules?? You drop out from under your posts, and it goes to Steyn!!

[@juanpablocirielli1540]

Dayimani deserves a tribute

[@myshepspud1]

Sorry who is that compared to Steyn?

[@zukisamhlakaza2218]

61 metres

[@tsaki_titan]

Bro wtf drop goals from 50m out and 5m away from the touchline?😂😂😂💀💀

[@eugenegerber5805]

While they are trying to convince us that kicking is not part of the game 😂

[@myshepspud1]

Honestly.. We left him out of the starting team arguably in his prime.

[@Keque]

"Dan Carter is the best kicker in history" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@pietsteyn9934]

Dan Carter behind AB pack but was now where in France where the pack was not dominant.

[@devanne3]

As a South African Carter is better than Steyn in terms of kicking overall, but it cannot be understated how unique and talented Francois was especially because you could play him centre, fly-half or full-back.

[@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543]

But remember Dan c was Only a flyhalf- Frans S Could play in "All the backline post"- he was a sensation in dropping

[@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543]

😂

[@Mr.BondJamesBond]

And the easiest and closest kick he had in his career he missed which cost The Sharks a Super Rugby title 😂😂😂

[@cookingwithyayaslamdien6747]

Imagen him as a soccer player. The goal ceeper would have no chance. He wouldn't even move

[@stanmarr4488]

_Ek sal jou Frans-Steyn_ ..ek sal jou in jou moer in skop...😂😂😂😂

[@PSKhasana]

🌟🙊

[@taneweadon8814]

not as good as Dan Carter
