    Force boot out inaccuracy

    Great article in the West:

    Western Force need no reminding of the importance of raising the bar significantly in the kicking department next season.

    They operated at 62 per cent accuracy last season, one of the lowest figures in Super Rugby, and are well aware that one missed kick can be the difference between success and failure.

    Kicking for field position is another crucial area and in a bid to improve consistency and individual skills, the club has brought in former Springboks fly-half and kicking expert Braam van Straaten.

    Van Straaten, who was used by the Wallabies during the 2011 World Cup campaign, does most of his coaching online from South Africa.

    Full article

    Good to see our focus and getting expert help in this department, also makes interesting reading the players kicking:

    Jayden Hayward, Sias Ebersohn, Kyle Godwin, Zack Holmes and Ian Prior from the Super squad, and Luke Burton and Dillyn Leyds from the wider training group.

    Nice balance

    it is the difference between winning teams, in having a kicker step up and everyone thinking "we got this" rather than "fuck i hope this goes over"

    If the French kicker had got the THAT penalty to go over.. (all he had to do was aim for me.. ) The Kiwis would not be World Champs.. Having a reliable kicker is paramount.....
