[QUOTE="dc24, post: 433484, member: 54294"] Is anyone else concerned the RWC will be filled with drop goals rather than tries? Will teams such as SA or England put forth a worthy effort to come away with tries rather than just taking shots at goal? As great as rugby is, I've always been bothered by the drop goal and the fact that it is worth 3 points at the highest level. It is far too automatic, especially compared to amateur or club level rugby.

These suggestions have often come from New Zealand and Australia where the use of the drop goal is not so common. Would the possibility of change increase dramatically if there were an excessive amount of drop goals this year? [/QUOTE]
