[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 433496, member: 44360"] This issue always arises come the world cup time. I have no problem whatsoever with the drop goal usage or value, I always find it strange that people complain about the drop goal over the penalty kick at goal, the drop goal which occurs in open play and is much more difficult then a penalty and is often a dramatic conclusion to a match. I wouldn't change any of the point values in rugby union. In league the drop goal(or field goal if you prefer) is almost never used since it is only worth one point. How often have we really seen them used to excess anyway, even the five in a match in 1999 at the RWC only resulted in 15 points for South Africa, barely over two converted tries. [/QUOTE]
