Having a winger that can kick goals, has more advantages than one. As wingers play probably in the least physical position on the field and the position where the least tackling and driving is required. This means that they are likely to stay a lot fitter and more conditioned than players playing in the centre of the park, who do a lot more driving in and tackling of the opposition. Therefore, when the winger takes the kick at goal, they will be fresh and have much more energy and concentration, whereas forwards will have been involved repetively in constant back to back plays.
Case in point - What position is Hazem El Masri?
Is Lee Crooks the exception to the rule?
Or maybe that part-time kicker Andy Farrell?
Only joking mate, you have a fair point, when I first started to go to rugby it was all wingers and full-backs that kicked goals.
