What is it about England's rugby team and crucial World Cup drop-goals.

Owen Farrell was a contentious choice at fly-half for the meeting with Wales, but he has justified his selection with some confident play, including this outrageous effort. Few would have even attempted a drop goal from this position - it was so far out that the posts weren't even in shot when the ball left his boot. But the Saracens fly-half showed no nerves whatsoever and made it count to bring England level midway through the first half. https://twitter.com/ITVRugby/status/647853752800575489
