Since PG points had became too important, the value of try was increased from 4 to 5. I think this change is quite fair.
However, the bonus point system is ridiculous. 20 (4 tries)-19 is more valuable than 39 (3 tries)-0!
So, I call for the immediate abolition of the bonus point system. Instead, in order to encourage try-oriented play, I suggest the change of scoring system.
1st, the reduction of the value of PG from 3 to 2. And, under the current laws, goal from FK is not allowed. However, goal from FK should be allowed (1 point).
Try's value 5 is OK, but value of Conversions should be increased.
Here I have an idea. I am not a fan of American Football, but it has advantage over Rugby on one point. That is there is a choice of different plays after touch-down (1-point play or 2-point play), while Rugby has only 1 type of play.
I suggest this:
Conversion from 5m line --2 points
Conversion from 22m line -- 3 points
Conversion from the halfway line -- 4 points
There is no need for change of DG.
And there should be American Football-like Safety. In the case of carry-back, the opponent side can choose 1 point or 5m FK. In the case of tackle in ingoal, 2 points are conceded.
