[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 77003"] Thought I would get the ball rolling on the moments of merit. My nomination, is THAT drop goal from Jonny Wilkinson which brought England the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Factors which made the kick so special: - The pressure. It's the dying moments of the biggest match in your career. Your actions could earn your team the greatest prize in your chosen sport. To slot it over as cooly as he did, especially having missed several others over the course of the match, shows a true mental toughness. - The fatigue. The guy had played his heart out for 99 minutes in the highest intensity of test match rugby. To still have the physical and mental strength to keep going right to the end is some achievement. - The foot. For a left footer to slot a match winning kick with his right is something truely special. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu7II82MlsI"]Video[/url] [/QUOTE]
