Vine: The swerve on Ian Keatley’s conversion for Munster against Connacht is just incredible

So, is it windy out at The Sportsground?

So, is it windy out at The Sportsground?

JOE knows the protocol when it comes to seizing up a conversion.

Hands clasped. Check. Angles measured. Check. Distance gauged. Check. Run-up approximated. Check. Gale force winds checked for a possible kick that will make me look very  similar to David Beckham and Roberto Carlos at their best? Erm.

The last point is something that’s very unique to The Sportsground though as rugby fans will know. The conditions for Connacht v Munster look like a gale force wind is blowing out west but that didn’t stop the Munster man from nailing his effort from the touch.

Keatley’s conversion from a tight-angle here is nothing short of sublime as the ball boomerangs from outside the post to inside it before sailing over the black spot.

Wonderful stuff.
