Damian McKenzie’s kick in round 2 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific was a worldie, but where does it rank against a collection of top strikes from across the globe? You decide!
The Kiwi playmaker pulled off this impressive 50:22 in a convincing 49-25 win for the Chiefs over the Crusaders in Hamilton on Friday.
HOW HAS HE DONE THAT!? 😳

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu left a trail of smoke with his rocket versus Portugal in Bloem last year, while Willie le Roux’s dead-eye efforts against Leinster and Glasgow Warriors shot the lights out at Loftus in the Vodacom URC.
There’s also Damian Willemse’s well-executed poke to help the Stormers sink Sale Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup, and Antoine Dupont’s heat-seeker in the European cup decider at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium certainly got Bok icons Bryan Habana and Steven Kitshoff’s attention.
And what would a long-range challenge be without this monster kick from two-time world champion Frans Steyn during the 2021 Rugby Championship?
