Sedrick did.You have to try the extra point kick from the point you crossed the goal line. The angle for the Aussie kicker was extreme because of where she crossed the goal line.
Far more frequently than in American football for reasons that SixShutouts cites — many are long kicks with very difficult angles and often not aligned with the kicker’s preferred trajectory (out-swingers versus in-swingers).
Plus, I believe Sevens doesn’t allow the use of a tee (drop-kicks instead).
Scoring a “try” nearer the goalposts — ideally underneath them — is always preferred versus way out on the sideline.

The kicker is that the kick is taken directly back from where the try was touched down. So a try near an outside boundary leads to a difficult angle kick
anywhere close to the quality of Rugby Union kickers. Which makes sense since they're more likely to be amateurs (ish) and there's fewer positions.
Some of them weren't even making it to the posts for kicks.
League and Union, making it imperative that back players have kicking skills (e.g. Johnny Wilkins). I hesitate to call them specialty kickers, but the ability to kick goals is a necessity at that level. In 7s, it's almost as if you filed your best players and pick the best of the bunch to kick and not factor that skill into your choice of field players.
