But you'll probably get blasted on the ensuing kick off but fuck it....anyways, kickers are boring.

Granted, in football there's quite a few boring ones - although, I was highly entertained by Martin Gramatica (I think? Please correct me if I'm wrong) injuring himself celebrating a kick a few years ago.  

However, in rugby, you get bombs like the one in this video, and not from a guy who only comes on only to kick either - since there are no rolling substitutes in rugby as there are in football (in fact I might be confusing my history but this might have even been before substitutes were allowed), this guy would have played a full 80 minutes, and with a lot less protection than a football kicker is afforded.
