Marty McKenzie conjures magic try as pinpoint kick bounces off goalpost perfectly for Chiefs to score

March 31, 2019

Chiefs first-five Marty McKenzie either showed some incredible skill or luck in this morning's win against the Jaguares after his chip kick to conjure a try bounced perfectly off a goal post to set up Tumua Manu.

McKenzie was fed the ball close the Jaguares' line and realising the defence was rushing, opted to pop a kick in behind the line where there was space to score.

But his kick was almost too perfect to be true.

The ball hit the padding of the right upright and sat perfectly for Manu to scoop up and score, giving the Chiefs a healthy 17-6 lead going into halftime.

The Jaguares fought back into the contest in the second half but eventually went down to the Kiwi visitors 30-27 in Buenos Aires.
