Stuart Hogg 50m drop goal has erased any mistakes made previously

Exeter Chiefs’ fullback Stuart Hogg has successfully hit delete on a mixed bag Six Nations by dropping an enormous kick against Munster in the Heineken Champions Cup.

Hoggy got kicked the ball after Munster’s Ben Healy had one of those new goal-line dropouts and Hogg just picked up his driver and smashed it back between the sticks.

It’s a pretty good kick but not as good as this kick from Johnny Sexton in the Heineken Cup Final back in 2009 or whatever. Anyone, that one actually was on the halfway line.

Still, Hogg’s effort was pretty darn good all the same. As usually, when is good, he’s very, very good.
