Dan Biggar’s pinpoint kick in the Six Nations over the weekend was just another in a catalogue for the Welshman. In this video we count down the best kicks leading to tries in Rugby World Cup history.

Am’s pass to Mapimpi in World Cup Final

[@felixdavis3451]

ben smith for barret 2015 final

[@c10visuals]

Michilak’s kick was a thing of beauty

[@riddlewrx1127]

I remember watching that game live. Could never forget that kick.

[@BTBDech]

So smooth and clever.

[@chevalliert]

Agreed. It is by far the most difficult one to pull off

[@WorldRugby]

I'm still not sure how he did it 🤩

[@misimoa1234]

Beautifully weighted kick. What every person running onto the ball hopes to get.

[@jeffreychongsathien]

Amazing how common it is now to see Japan in a highlights reel.

[@NZAnimeManga]

Such a great tournament!

[@WorldRugby]

A side full of skill!

[@goldstandard4408]

Michalalk's kick switching sides with the outside of the boot was filthy. Me likes.

[@WorldRugby]

Superb skill!

[@bensutton290]

The Finn Russell nutmeg needs to go on this list!!

[@masonmason3590]

Gareth Davies on a thumbnail about intelligent kicks... did you see him against Scotland 3 weeks ago?

[@hught2575]

Michalak was unorthodox usually it’s a cross field kick but what a kick it was

[@Danjobeth]

Indeed. It was a better kick than the japanese one.

[@aureduckgaming7443]

@@Danjobeth yes but the Japanese one was great putting it in the space where he can pick it off before making the step out to beat Hogg

[@gdavies4]

@@Danjobeth number 1 for me.

[@jim9667]

Never been a fan of Michalak, but for me it's by far the best of the lot

[@sihlebam3863]

By far the best of them all. The rest are well executed but nothing new.

[@alfiejayaustin579]

5:05 feel bad for him

[@razalifadzil8549]

Love rugby

[@WorldRugby]

Isn't it just the best?

[@unekualconstruction1933]

I feel you could've done this video only with Finn Russell kicks...and no one would've complained or argued. 😆😆

[@sihlebam3863]

You missed the Cheslin Kolbe kick in the final minute during Springboks vs New Zealand match in New Zealand, 2019.

[@WorldRugby]

Great moment!

[@Enochthegreat71]

Dan Biggar is a great kicker 👍

[@arsennelupin584]

Tous très beau ces coup de pieds , beaucoup de joueur talentueux et décisifs dans la décision et dans la réalisation .

[@Josh-lo6ws]

David Humphrey's grubber for O'Driscoll's try vs France 2003!

[@WorldRugby]

Grubber kicks are so satisfying!

[@fleshen]

Lloyd Williams a scrum half on the wing dropping that kick to help beat England at Twickenham in their home world cup! Can't be bettered! Sorry Mapimpi is very close! But I'm Welsh so hey!!!

[@Smithy250]

Don't sound like a football supporter.

[@WorldRugby]

Both great tries, very hard to separate them!

[@tylerdowd]

clip #3 was so cleannnn

[@WorldRugby]

Class skills! 🥵

[@inakomuesliepystykorva8370]

The kick of cambabero before the try of Saint-André is the best

[@tommurphy6664]

5:05 :(

[@laghosteam8909]

😂

[@regandevries7038]

Bro u forgot the one that elton janties kicked to warrik gelant for south africa against canada I think

[@alun101]

No.7 Michalak is the best kick of this lot. Game changing. The rest are just cross field or grubbers.

[@Br0kensaint1]

Great to see South Africa no featuring to much in the kicking tries. We keep ball in hand as kicking is against the religion that is rugby ;)

[@tobionabolu961]

for a team known for its incessant kicking how embarrassing that England don't have a single entry in this top 10 compilation!

[@regandevries7038]

Part 2?

[@rugbysfinest6976]

Surprised Le Roux didn’t make it with his kick on Keith Earls

[@ShineSword2999]

6:25 大トリがラファエレなのうれしい(*´ω｀*)

[@user-hf3ji3zv7z]

Imagine having an aussi rules star in a squad.

[@oj4249]

Boks vs Canada? Jantjies kick

[@georgedelanoy9548]

[@user-hf3ji3zv7z]

The proof why rugby is football.

[@joshuacoombs1955]

[@joshuacoombs1955]

@jake tull nowhere in that title does it say world cup.............

[@JM19649]

You missed johnny sexton everytime Ireland have a penalty advantage in the an appointnents 22.. oh wait no you didn't, those kicks are pointless and stupid and show a horrific lack of invention

[@vonteflon]

Pissed myself laughing at this 👏

[@Seraphial]

No Spencer banana kick?

[@poriccrompton]

Good but Scotland beat France for us would you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

AWJ the dinosaur moaning to the ref at 1:35

[@giorgisimonisvili1001]

Soso matiashvili the best

[@poriccrompton]

Why was number 1 number 1 it was just a grubber

[@brianmsahin]

There are a few good kicks here, most of them are cross kicks which are what we called when I played in Ireland "wing and a prayer" kicks, that were successful one in ten times. I wouldn't call this a list of the most intelligent kicks, I've seen better.... luckiest might be a better title for most of them to be brutally honest. Maybe you're restricted to WC games and can't show all the truly great ones. There are just two here.

[@hught2575]

Michalaks

[@msteresa653]

Love these plays. Makes american football look basic

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

No it isn't. This is just cross kicks you have the television rights to because it's all world cup footage

[@nuttshellman]

cringe title

[@dickyyy116]

200iq.... hahaha 😂 at least you’re trying guys.

[@thomaskay9063]

5:16: forward pass

[@RoloMelon]

Even a blind man would see that pass isn't forward.

[@vonteflon]

Nope
