[QUOTE="Marco Polo, post: 131613"] I am struggling to come up with more that two or three international matches since 2003 since that have been won with a drop goal. SA Vs Aus a few weeks ago and I seem to remember ROG ping one over against wales a few years back. Aside from that nothing else spring to mind immediately. In my opnion drop goals are relatively rare. This is because IT IS A DIFFICULT SKILL TO MASTER and it is well worth retaining as it adds variety to the game. I would far rather be defending a two point lead facing a 40m drop goal attempt rather than relying on my kicker to ping it over in the last minute, Jeez what will the aussies come up with next. If its not complaining about the drop goal, its the scrum because they have crap props, or NH officials because they actually referee rucks and forwards passes properly. Why not **** off and play rugby league at least that way all the other countries that play it (one) let you win all the time. I am just waiting for the next aussie to start a "Rugby Union should have two less player, uncontested scrums and no lineouts" thread :toss: [/QUOTE]
