England player scores remarkable drop goal from way, way back

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.
