Great thread idea!

Matt Dunning - Rugby Union Prop kicking a field goal in the final 10-15 minutes when the Waratahs needed a couple of tries to make the Top 4 of the Super 12/14.

Matt Dunning is perhaps most famous for his drop goal in the 2003 Super 12 season. His team, the NSW Waratahs, needed a bonus point to make the finals. Since the Waratahs were playing with advantage, and needed one more try to gain the bonus point, Dunning decided to kick a drop goal, which he assumed would miss. This would result in the penalty being awarded, which would allow the ball to be kicked into touch and possibly a line-out drive that could lead to a try. Unfortunately, the kick hit its mark and sailed through the posts, much to his and his teammates' dismay.
