[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 433514, member: 20956"] Personally I've always liked drop-goals, used to annoy my mate and kick a couple every time we played rugby 06/08 :p it's the easiest form of points in the game, but still takes a fair bit of skill and general rugby from the whole team to pull off. If it doesnt look like a try is gonna be scored, I don't really have a problem with them deciding to slot a drop goal, just keeps the points ticking over which is very very useful. Watched the highlights of the Sharks vs someone (Western Province maybe?) from a recent Currie Cup match, Michalak took the right option is horrible conditions to slot 3 drop goals (as well as a few penalties) which eventually got them the win. Agree about the scrum rule though, if you miss a 50m drop goal should be changed to so it'll be a scrum back from where it was kicked, as it is with regular kicks. [/QUOTE]
