October was a pretty spectacular month in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and there were some incredible footballing skills to boot including that of David Kriel (versus Benetton) which has been shortlisted for the Gilbert Kick of the Month.

His conversion has been picked amongst five kicks that stood out for the month and fans have the opportunity to vote and help select the winner.
The centre’s kick was even more monumental in the context of the three-week tour, adding a further four points to their tally (10 in total) to see the South Africans lie third on the log going into the international break, 10 points behind leaders Leinster and four points behind the defending champion Glasgow Warriors, with a game in hand.
With only two days left of voting, Kriel is in second place (23.1%) behind Jacob Stockdale (33.8%) whose chip and chase was the highlight of the round three tie versus the Tshwane outfit.
The list of nominated kicks are:
A - David Kriel conversion v Benetton (Round 6)
The Vodacom Bulls centre stepped up with what proved to be the game-winning conversion in the final minute.
B - Geronimo Prisciantelli drop-goal v Scarlets (Round 6)
A monster drop-goal from the Zebre Parma fullback out of nowhere.
C - Kyle Rowe grubber v Hollywoodbets Sharks (Round 5)
A beautifully weighted kick back inside from the Glasgow Warriors winger to set up a try for George Horne.
D - Jordan Hendrikse cross-field v Dragons RFC (Round 3)
The Hollywoodbets Sharks flyhalf sets up Ethan Hooker for a try in the corner with a lovely cross-field kick.
E - Jacob Stockdale chip and chase v Vodacom Bulls (Round 3)
Some individual brilliance here from the Ulster winger to create a try out of nothing after finding himself in some space.
