Well done to Rugby Union and Saracens. The £250,000 prize for hitting the crossbar attracted more interest than the match. Excellent marketing.

Wigan RLFC? Convert from the half way line? Replicate Joe Lydon's famous drop goal?

Saracens took insurance out against somebody winning. I daresay many tried and failed. Hitting the crossbar from any decent distance is more by luck than skill.
