Ever wonder who is the better dead-ball kicker: Johnny Sexton or Stephen Cluxton?
The Ireland outhalf and the Dublin ‘keeper set the standard for the kicking game in their own sports and both were unsurprisingly talented when trading codes.
Filmed by Toyota Ireland as part of their What Drives You campaign, both players discuss their kicking technique and the challenges they face while placing the ball for an important shot at goal.
They do this while popping points and penalties over the goalposts as if it’s the easiest thing in the world. We’re not sure whether to admire them or keel over with jealousy (both?).
They also talk about their motivation to become the best at their game. But JOE’s favourite moment has to be Johnny Sexton’s admission that his nickname is ‘Ketchup’ because of his circular shoulders.
Don’t worry Johnny, there are worse names than ‘Ketchup’…
