All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith showcased his goal-kicking skills while on holiday break following the World Cup.
Smith has been keeping fit during the off-season by undergoing some goal-kicking training with former Otago rugby player turned coach Peter Breen.
The All Black No 9 reposted a video of himself nailing a kick from near the sideline during a training session, suggesting that the practice may be paying off.
In another video on Breen's Instagram, Smith is asked why the Highlanders don't let him take over goal-kicking duties.

"One day my moment will come."
While it's unlikely that Smith will pip Highlanders No 10 Josh Ioane, Smith could be a handy back-up if he keeps it up.
Breen, who runs an online coaching platform called Rugby Bricks, is the designer of a special kicking tee which was used by several Super Rugby first-fives last season.
