Hamilton's FMG Stadium has seen some great long-distance goal-kicking through the generations and Sunday's 58m goal landed by Hurricanes fullback Jordie Barrett in the 25-18 Super Rugby Aotearoa win over the Chiefs was right out of the Don Clarke textbook.
Clarke was the first of the consistent long-range kickers in New Zealand. He kicked Waikato to many victories while also doing the same for the All Blacks around the world.
Their styles may have been different: Clarke was a toe-kicker while Barrett employs the more recent round-the-corner soccer style of kick, but they were both effective.
Captain TJ Perenara said points aside, Barrett ensured opponents were wary of conceding penalties in that area of the field because they were prospective points-scoring opportunities.
"He can kick the ball from anywhere. He likes to take those sorts of kicks.
"He likes big moments and, he likes to help the team out so, whether that's taking a shot at goal or we had another penalty where it might have been 60-odd out, and he put it to the corner 15m from the try line, his ability to take big moments on for us is awesome," he said.
While Barrett his goal-kicking was a great asset, it was also his kicking ability with the ball, to run the ball and his organisational ability that was of value to the side.
He was pleased to have their first win of the season. They had been playing some good football in patches during the first few weeks only to concede points during those patches.
"For us to be able to get a win in the competition gives us a really good opportunity next week to put another good performance in and put us back in the competition," he said.
He said having to play for 30 minutes with 14 men had been tough, it was hard enough with 15 men playing a side like the Chiefs.
"I think a lot of credit has to go to our backfield, they did a lot of good work to still allow us to defend well," he said.
Coach Jason Holland said the important thing for the side was going back to the aspects of their play that provided the victory. They had achieved that against the Chiefs and would like to improve on it against the Highlanders in week five.
"We've got some scope to be a lot better, we've got to nail a few more opportunities. I said to the boys 'I reckon you've got to score 30 points to win these games' and they have to be more accurate to do that," he said.
"But I can't fault the effort. The way we trained this week and the way the boys came together there was awesome so it gives us a good week to build again nicely."
Holland said the defensive effort had been pleasing because it had been an area of concentration for the side during their bye week.
"The attitude to get off the line and put some physical shots on was massive and what the Chiefs were trying to achieve," he said.
With lock Scott Scrafton having received an automatic red card for two yellow card offences, Holland said the second had been clear because he had not been behind the goal line.
But they would be having a look around their structure around the lineout, and also around the breakdown.
