60m not a problem for Steyn
Durban - Frans Steyn's outstanding drop goal of nearly 60m in Saturday's Currie Cup clash between the Sharks and the Free State Cheetahs in the Absa Stadium here is something his team-mates have almost become used to.
Steyn further enhanced his reputation as a long-range sharpshooter on Saturday when, despite a strong squall, he slotted the drop goal that became a defining moment in the Sharks' 22-10 win.
The Sharks were consequently able to remain at the top of the log and are riding the crest of the wave after six successive wins.
Sharks coach John Plumtree spoke with admiration about Steyn's talents during a post-match media conference.
"During the captain's practice he hit the mark eight times from 50m away – but don't write about that," teased Plumtree; "he'll just get a swollen head."
"I told him previously he would be an effective fullback, because he would get more such opportunities in big matches.
"He then said he believed he would be able to do it from where he plays now (inside centre), so he has proved me wrong."

60 metre drop goal is pretty good. Huge bloody kick
Last year he kicked a drop goal against theat subi from inside his own half.

Good on him. He can kick a long footy, rest of his game is shite.

A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
