He's left footed, so a curve to the left wouldnt be that hard. Now if he was right footed and did that, I'd be amazed. Otherwise, its just a pretty good kick.

Is that not reverse curve? Maybe different rules apply to footballs than they do rugby balls, but I would have expected a left footed kick from there to actually swing away from the posts (left to right on the screen).

When you see free kicks taken in football, a right footer normally pushes the ball out to the right and it swings to the left. For a left footer, the converse is true. Here, a left footed kick results in the swing I would expect from a right footed one. My conclusion would be that either I suck at figuring this stuff out, he has a foot made from some alien artifact, or there's a hefty breeze.

The commentator does mention that he's currently 0 from 2, so perhaps the heavy wind had something to do with this. Then again, it doesn't seem to be that windy... Hmmmm.....

That was cool and all, but one day, someone will sit my down and explain rugby to me. And cricket.

Seriously, I could see myself getting into Rugby, it looks like a lot of fun. However, getting all the rules and plays down has been kind of a chore.

For some reason, I can't quite place it, but I believe they are not playing at Home.
