Round the corner kicking : ウィキペディア英語版 | Round the corner kicking Round the corner kicking is the standard method of place-kicking in all Rugby today. ==History==
Round the corner kicking was first credited to Wilf Wooler in the 1930s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Life and career of Wilf Wooler, Rydal School, Sale, Cardiff & Wales.htm )〕 It was later practiced in the 1940s by Willie Horne, the Barrow, Lancashire, England and Great Britain captain and rugby league player. His distinctive round the corner style of kicking enabled him to kick over 100 goals in the 1945–46 season and then he scored more than 700 goals for his club Barrow before his retirement in 1969. He was known to wear relatively soft-toed boots the heavier boot then general being unnecessary for him, unlike for others using the toe-end style of kicking which was then prevalent in both league and union throughout the world. The first global exponent of the 'round the corner' style was perhaps Ken Scotland who displayed the technique in Australia and New Zealand playing for the British Isles in 1959. There was a significant increase in the number of 'round the corner' style players in the 1970s- Andy Irvine, Phil Bennett, Gerald Bosch. In New Zealand, they held onto the 'straight up & down', or 'toehack' as it was called down under, with such players as BG Williams, Bevan Wilson, Steve Watt until Alan Hewson came on the scene, the glove wearing kicker who kicked the last minute penalty at Eden Park in 1981, in an South Africa - New Zealand game.
