Jonny Wilkinson shows his rugby skills in this collection of the films he made with Fineside.com, the men’s clothing brand he started with his brother.
Reacting to the video, one fan wrote: “Were this anyone else, I would be incredulous. However I watched him practising at Newcastle on a couple of occasions and the skill with a rugby ball he demonstrated back then, was jaw dropping. For example, lining the ball on the goal line at the corner and hitting the front post, going between the posts and hitting the back post in turn, over and over.”
A second commented: “How is it he’s so accurate yet footballers are so much off target most the time. Those back passes were amazing especially without really aiming just a microsecond glance as he releases.”
Another said: “Ball skills wise, was the best in the world! Changed the game forever!”
Here is the incredible trick shot compilation again.
