I think Campbell-Lamerton (2nd Row) is the only 2nd row to drop
a goal in an International

Peter Brown was Scottish number 8 and lock who was not only the
captain but the regular kicker. Scored 67 points for Scotland.
He is Gordon Brown’s (Broon frae Troon) of Lions fame elder
brother.

The best kicker should kick and the best thrower should should
throw. They are only linked by being the norm.

He's probably not allowed by Owen until he says so. AKA "you can
only do this one Elliot as it's a little bit far for me"

I've also read that Daly's kicking style is likely to lead to
significant wear and tear over the long term if he does too much
of it, so they restrict him to the kicks that are outside anyone
else's range.

Back in the day -well back- it used to be full backs who did
the place kicking, so I'd respectfully dispute the "core skill
for a 10" assertion. Surely it should simply be the person best
at it (-like Bob Hiller, fr'instance)
Just to show exactly how far back, I can even remember All
Blacks wingers throwing in to the line-out - sideways-on...

10 should be the ideal kicker, but it doesn't have to be. Anyone
can kick if they are good enough, and I wonder why we don't
allow others with the skill to take the kicks. Halfpenny, for
example, is a pretty fair kicker! There's no reason wings,
fullbacks or centres can't take the kicking duties. If we have a
known weakness in that area, give the duty to someone else
before the match - allows that person to prepare, and takes the
pressure off the 10.

Exactly as the Springboks did recently.

I seem to remember Mat Luamanu being red carded and banned in
such a situation.
