VIDEO: Legendary Irish hooker Keith Wood teaches us how to take the perfect drop goal

"Sweep your leg through it"

Keith Wood can do it all.

One of the best hookers to play the game, Wood scored 15 tries for Ireland but he proved that he’s more than just a powerful runner.

MasterCard ambassador Wood is also pretty decent in the pocket with the posts at his mercy and while we wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that he’d have made it as an out-half, Wood can definitely strike a ball.

Wood recently took charge of a drop goal tutorial and his advice ended up with some impressive results as his attentive students were successful on seven out of nine attempts.

Ronan O’Gara, eat your heart out.
