What the result tells you
Goal kicking often decides tight rugby, since the points from kicks can outweigh tries in a low scoring game. A success rate around 80 percent marks a reliable kicker, and the best clear that under pressure. The figure works for any place kicks, so use it to track conversions, penalties or both, and read it against the difficulty of the kicks attempted.

|---|---|---|
| Above 80% | Elite Kicker | Exceptional accuracy. Reliable from wide angles and difficult wind conditions. |

| Below 65% | Needs Work | Inconsistent technique. Team may need to look for alternative kickers for wide tries. |
