Updated April 24, 2024, 3:21 p.m. | By The Drive with Rob and Roz

The video has already reached over 500k viewers!

Naas Botha, Morné Steyn, Handrè Pollard, and the list goes on.

South Africa has seen some exceptional talent when it comes to kicking rugby balls in the right direction.

It might even be considered the one element that secured the Springboks' title in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

There is also no doubt that everyone, including Springbok coaches, needs to keep an eye on the up-and-coming talent from across the country.

One Menlopark high schooler recently stunned thousands when a video of him went viral on social media.

The unnamed boy can be seen taking a free kick towards the poles from quite a far spot.

Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a dispute as to how far away from the poles he actually was:

Halfway line corner = 60 - 65m . Still a massive kick for a schoolboy.

Nonetheless, viewers are still very impressed by this boy's skill.

There was also one comment that shared more about the player and the match:
