[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 920486, member: 65365"] You have articulated well my main point. This is especially valid in a game where there are loads of penalties and you don’t seem to have any control over giving them away. In such cases if both teams just take the 3 it becomes more about luck and who has the best kicker. Going for the try gives you back control over your destiny. What’s really annoying is when the game is around the 75 minute mark and a team gets a penalty, giving them an opportunity to take the lead or extend to a 4 to 6 point buffer. They take the kick, succeed, then for the rest of the game the opposition has the ball, winning it at the end giving no opportunity for a come back , whereas if you’d only gone for the try you would either have succeeded or you would have run the clock down trying and likely got another opportunity for three anyway [/QUOTE]
