[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 157603"] My 2 cents: Penalty score changes would be pointless. 2 points would encourage infringing. Drop goals simply aren't an issue except in peoples heads. In the final Wilko missed 3. In the Semi England and France got 1 from 8 between them. Moving defences 5m behind the ruck? sounds like league. 5m from scrums would be ok. maybe. Would give more space to attack, but also would result in a kick with no pressure. Not kicking out on the full from your 22? this could work out well. I don't think it will result in teams running more from their 22, but more likely up and under and box kicks. Still kicking, but keeps ball in play and attacking side will most likely run back. pulling down mauls? don't like this. The maul has long been an integral part of the game. don't devalue it. It can also create space by sucking in defending forwards. the overall problem is that Union has less space to run into than League, combined with what is easy. Getting an organised defence is easier to coach than attacking rugby. But the best 2 sides in the world also play some of the most attacking rugby, with the exception of the final. Is there really such a problem? It's not England's fault SA decided that the way to beat them was kick and apply pressure defensively and at the lineout. [/QUOTE]
