[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1010556, member: 73144"] ....it’s a skill like any other that can be practised. It’s a great way of building scoreboard pressure and also gives defences something else to think about. If you miss it the worst that happens is that you regain possession from the 22. In this era of death by analysis it astonishes me that coaches consistently overlook a method of scoring. Not every team is quite so clinical from 5 yards out as Exeter. There were a couple of World Cup finals where they came in quite handy. Larkham in a semi, Andrew in a quarter, de Beer in a quarter and Guscott sealing a Lions series win are others that spring immediately to mind. That these are all 20 years ago says everything about group think and nothing about how useful a drop can be, especially in a tight game. [/QUOTE]
