    Wilkinson is the drop goal king. Doesn't matter how many attempts, he holds the record for most scored and he managed to freely score them more than anyone else. ROG scored some great winners but there's doing it at the death to win a crucial game and there's doing it to keep the points ticking over and take the game away. ROG did the former. Wilko could do the former and the latter.
    His DG against Saracens for Toulon was a classic example, as his kicking had taken the game completely away from them and the ease with which he banged the DG over took all the remaining wind out of Saracens

      Is he though? I know he's scored a lot of drop goals but that's mainly because he attempted so many. In terms of significance, I'd argue that O'Gara is more so - just look at Wales '03, Argentina '04, Wales '09, Northampton '11, Castres '11 to win the game. All of these attempts were a single attempt in the last minute and would have cost them the game had O'Gara missed. Whereas with Wilkinson, the only significant drop goal as such was '03, where he'd already missed three drop goals in the same game...

      @@newspaper9949 And that's completely fair enough, I agree that Wilkinson's drop goal in '03 was probably one of the most significant drop goals in Rugby history, with Sexton's vs. France also up there, but in my opinion, I believe O'Gara's ability to nail his only drop goal attempt of the match from 40m out in a do or die situation trumps Wilkinson's drop goal record. It's a completely subjective matter (that can never truly be proven) and I'm sure someone else will argue that there's another fly-half who's much better. But, I don't think him conceding the penalty against the Boks in '09 negates his drop-kicking abilities.

      @wildebest you got to get over the SA loss

    Over rated. Lost more close and important games than he won.
    Blown out the way in a simple tackle by Luke McAllister V All Blacks, his brain freeze and then blown out the way V south Africa in a lion's Jersey.
    Defensively inept. Had a decent boot, Sexton should've replaced him years before he did.

      Yes and no. ROG lasted over a decade in Test Rugby because he had no replacement until Sexton came out. But it was a time where rugby was different. Fly-halves were supposed to do just their job, and ROG was a master at doing that.

      Nobody liked Sexton, tho :) ! His rep on the team now is terrible.

      @Paddy le Blanc I didn't know he had accomplished all that. But I still don't think he would make even my Top 10 fly halfs of all time. But hey, just some random blokes on YT's opinion. Take it easy fella.

    Drop goal king? Really? I’ve heard of this guy called Jonny Wilkinson, he’s supposed to have a decent drop kick

      He was able to win and lose a game by himself. More highs than downs though.
