Seear, occasionally took penalties for Otago, told the Otago Daily Times in 2009 that the penalty was too far away for All Black fullback Brian McKechnie, so he decided to "have a crack".
"I'd always been having kicks at practice and trainings so I thought I'd have a go," Seear said.
It was a busy match for Seear, who was eye-gouged by a French player, giving him the penalty he nailed as part of a 15-3 win.
