Best Answer

a large number of points can be scored quite easily (kickers can take their time and make sure they get the ball through the posts) 3 points are awarded for a drop goal or penalty kick and 2 points for a conversion. important games have been lost because a kicker has missed chances and the opposite is also the case (see the second test of the Lions tour 2009)

What does it mean to be a good 'footballer' for a rugby player?

To clarify the term football refers back to when the game was in fact football. When football (soccer) and rugby went their different ways we saw the start of The Rugby Football Union which is what is still called today . The game still requires strong elements of kicking, foot work and running dexterity. In the terms used here a "good footballer" refers to the skills of the player generically.
