What is the highest level of rugby match that has ended in a drop goal contest?

Question

Has anyone got an example of a top level rugby match (club, province, international) that has actually been decided a drop kicking contest?

Theoretically it was possible for the 2007 World Cup to end in this way... nothing new there really given that this is pretty much how the 95 and 2003 finals were decided anyway.

Answer 1

The U19's world cup a few years ago is the highest I know of.

Ireland v England was decided by penalties.

Ireland won

Answer 2

Drop goals are hard to do

Answer 3

I know what you're asking and no it doesnt happen.

In a round robin tournament it goes on points for and against if it is a draw after extra time.

If its a final, you just keep playing in 10 mins intervals until somebody wins.

Answer 4

Wallabies player Stephen Larkhams drop-goal against South-Africa in the 99 world-cup semi! Oh and there is pretty much any game Wilkinson has played in, Mainly the 2003 world cup final.

Answer 5

The greatest of All time is the All Blacks Playing South Africa 1995 World Cup Final.  With scores all tied up and little more than no time to play Andrew Merhtens went for the winning drop goal which shaved the upright.  This caused extra time play and then become the loss for the All Blacks who were big favourites to win the tournament.  In comparision to following years that team of 1995 were without question the most complete all around team from forwards to backs.

Answer 6

You're asking about a drop kicking CONTEST to decide the win aren't you ?????    AS far as I know there has never been one.     Rugby at most levels accepts a drawn game after 80min and quite frankly it sucks.    There should be added times to determin a winner at all levels.

Answer 7

The 2003 world cup match was dominated by drop goals and was decided also by a drop goal kicked by johnny wilkinson.
