Carlos Spencer's ridiculous trick shots while at home during the New Zealand lockdown
By Online Editors
Think your dad has swag? Spare a thought for Payton Spencer, son of Carlos, who just got shown up when his father made a guest appearance on his TikTok channel.
The New Zealand Herald has reported how the younger Spencer has been sharing videos showing how their family is surviving lockdown and trying to nail difficult trick shots for his followers.

One shot involved firing a rugby ball backwards long-distance, over a fence and into a basketball hoop. Payton had problems perfecting his aim. Then King Carlos, the current Hurricanes assistant coach, stepped up. Too easy.
In case anyone thinks it all happened the first time, an earlier video showed the former All Black needed practice. But not much.
The following day, Spencer was at it again, nailing a long-range kick into the hoop with enviable ease. His son wrote: "Can't believe the old man got it on the second shot.”
Payton, though, finally managed to get one over his father, succeeding with a kick off the tee into a basketball hoop before Carlos responded with a reverse kick hitting the target.

It's not the first time Spencer has made an appearance on his son's growing TikTok channel, popping up in the past to shimmy shirtless to Nesian Mystik's hit Sun Goes Down.
Spencer is one of many well-known New Zealanders to make an appearance on social media recently, detailing how they are coping with lockdown and sending messages of support to fellow Kiwis.
In a government-funded ad, Kiwi icons such as Taika Waititi and Willie Apiata joined forces to tell Kiwis to encourage New Zealanders to work together to halt the spread of coronavirus. They urged Kiwis to stay calm, be kind and take the pandemic seriously, using the hashtag #uniteagainstcovid19.

Nah, that just needs some more variation. Chip kicks, grubber stabs, all those. Will Jordan showed a pretty good reason why the rush was bad for his link up with BB.
If you have an overlap on a rush defense, they naturally cover out and out and leave a huge gap near the ruck.
It also helps if both teams play the same rules. ARs set the offside line 1m past where the last mans feet were😅
Go to commentsYeah nar, should work for sure. I was just asking why would you do it that way?
It could be achieved by outsourcing all your IP and players to New Zealand, Japan, and America, with a big Super competition between those countries raking it in with all of Australia's best talent to help them at a club level. When there is enough of a following and players coming through internally, and from other international countries (starting out like Australia/without a pro scene), for these high profile clubs to compete without a heavy australian base, then RA could use all the money they'd saved over the decades to turn things around at home and fund 4 super sides of their own that would be good enough to compete.
That sounds like a great model to reset the game in Aus. Take a couple of decades to invest in youth and community networks before trying to become professional again. I just suggest most aussies would be a bit more optimistic they can make it work without the two decades without any pro club rugby bit.
