Embarrassed to say that I've just been watching for the first time the 1999 RWC semi v South Africa, had it on in the background at work.
Burke's field kicking was fantastic, he saves an almost certain try by snapping it away on an awful angle but gets like 60m. To be fair the rest of the backline also had such impressive boots. Larkham and Horan were clearing the ball from the tryline to the 50m often. Just watched Roff do a kick that was better than a 22-22. No pop gun kicking to be seen, so nice.
Also, don't think I've ever seen so many drop goals in my life.
That game contained, from Tim Horan, one of the greatest individual performances I've seen at test level.
