Zinedine Zidane vs Daniel Carter

Zinedine Zidane met with New Zealand’s World Cup bound rugby team this week, and challenged Daniel Carter to a kicking contest. Zizou didn’t beat Carter, but apparently the All Blacks were impressed with Frenchman’s technique. Special skills coch Mick Byrne described him as a “natural” who quickly grasped the different technique involved in kicking a rugby ball. Maybe Zidane could come out of international retirement and kick for France at the World Cup?

There’s actually a whole host of Zidane rugby clips available via YouTube, with a couple of my favourites below.
