VIDEO: Ian Madigan’s incredible drop goal conversion against the Barbarians

 Serious skills.

Rugby players practice these sort of trick shots all the time... in training. Having the opportunity to try out a drop-kick for your sideline conversion is rare. When the BaaBaa's are in town, however, anything goes. Robin Copeland crashed over for a late Ireland try, at Thomond Park, and, with time running out, Ian Madigan skipped the conversion formalities to ping over this serene beauty. The kick made it 22-21 but the Barbarians held out for the win. The set-piece highlight for Ireland had to be this rolling maul try for the returning openside Chris Henry: https://youtu.be/HIWQzeXAtZA Madigan [for raking an opponent] and Jack McGrath [yellow-carded for kneeing] briefly faced anxious waits to see if they have been cited. Any suspensions may seriously hamper their World Cup chances. However, the IRFU have, today, confirmed that Barbarians coach Robbie Deans did not refer any incidents from the match to citing commissioner Eddie Walsh.
