Former England international goal kicking great Jonny Wilkinson has uncovered a 14-year-old kicking prodigy through his #1inAllinCompetition which was set up through social media.

Hundreds of rugby players entered, providing video footage of goal kicking trick shots, with the winners receiving prizes from the British streetwear label Fineside, owned by Wilkinson and his brother Mark.

Young English five-eighth Jake Evetts was last week declared the winner of the competition, after submitting a stunning video of him nailing five place kick conversions and a dropped goal in 20 seconds.

Evetts' video is shot at a local ground and shows the talented right-footer booting the first four place kick goals from varying points and distances.

He saves the best for last, however. With two balls stacked on top of a kicking tee, Evetts kicks the bottom ball through the posts, before calmly catching the top ball in his hands and successfully drop-kicking it between the uprights.

Wilkinson, a 2003 World Cup winner, sent Evetts a congratulatory message on Twitter, saying: @JakeEvetts congrats on your winning effort Jake. Keep enjoying your training and getting better everyday! #1inAllinCompetition

Evetts replied enthusiastically, with: @JonnyWilkinson Cheers Jonny! Thank you for choosing me to win it, it means a lot to me #1inAllinCompetition Your a massive inspiration!
