PG failure must mean ball dead

[sigesige00]

Under the present rule, PG failure does not mean ball dead.
Normally, the opponent side take the ball and touch-down, and restart from drop-out.
But, sometimes strange situation appears. When the kicked ball was bounced by the goal, the PG side can have the ball and there will be a try chance.
This is not understandable. When a PG is successful, the points are 3. But, when a PG is not successful, there will be a chance for try.
This should not be allowed.
The rule should be: "When a PG is failure, the ball is dead".

If a team can work a try from behind their own line then I think they deserve it.

i think she means if it bounced off the posts back into the field of play and either team can regather and attack...i think either way its one of the most exciting bits of rugby, no one knows where or hows its going bounce...why take a fun part out of the gane?...that doesn't make sense, union is supposed to be free flowing

If a team aren't careful they should be punished end of... Although if someone slices it and it goes into touch is it a lineout for the pg taker

Does this guy just introduce rule changes every week?

The kicker's team must stay behind the kicker in order to remain onside, therefore the defending team has ample opportunity to regather the ball if the penalty isn't good.

Could you theoretically just try and do a cheeky cross-field kick from the tee?

 

[Kiwiwomble]

i've asked that before and i believe the consensus was it had to be a "valid" shot at goal

only until the ball is kicked, then they can chase it and loads of tries have been scored off the ball coming off the posts

Yes, that is possible.

I was under the impression that Jabby was right on this, that it has to be a valid shot at goal....it's come up at the end of matches a few times when the 80 minute mark is very near and the winning team is wasting time with a penalty attempt...I've seen offficials remind them that it has to be a "valid attempt" which means at a minumum kicking it towards the goal posts.

It has to travel at least 10 m., it has to touch either the goal posts or the ground before a teammate can play it. That's how it was explained to me once

I totally agree with both of you, unless someone knows something differently!

First time I have ever agreed with you.

That is a great sign then

Honestly, how many retarded ideas can one poster come up with. What was it last week, "teams that score more tries should be awarded the win, even if they lose, or something.

have you seen his latest bit of lunacy... you can kick a goal from a FK and get 1 point.

What next, a corner kick when the ball goes dead off a defender? A single forward pass can be made by the scrum half from behind the hindmost foot?

No, I have never said such a thing. I said that a win should be awarded to the side with more tries IN THE CASE OF DRAW.

we couldn't possibly introduce another way for the all blacks to win

The last thing rugby needs is more stoppages in play. If you want dead ball every time something happens go play Rugby League.

 

[Aedaphon]

Well... You do get the occasional try like this:

Niiiice.

So it may behoove kickers to actually aim for the posts in hopes of a lucky bounce that turns a 3-pointer into a 5-pointer. Maybe that should be a new rule.
