Vine: Gale force wind no match for sensational Ian Keatley conversion

Keatley defies physics with insane boomerang kick

Neil Treacy

Flippin’ hell.

We heard there was a crazy wind in Galway tonight. We didn’t think it was this crazy.

Munster traveled to a very wet and even windier Sportsground this evening for their meeting with Connacht, and it’s fair to say the elements were against a game of flowing rugby this evening.

Peter O’Mahony finished off an early maul to get the opening try of the game for Munster, but it was Ian Keatley’s conversion that really made us rub our eyes in disbelief.

Keatley, with Duncan Williams holding the ball on the tee for him, aims about 15 yards wide of the goal, before the howling wind sails it between the sticks.

Absolutely mental stuff.

Rory McIlroy would be proud of that draw.
