[QUOTE="Peat, post: 596883, member: 42330"] Why? It's not giving the team now in possession an advantage, its punishing the team that kicked for not getting the kick right. Remove that, and teams can kick all day in expectation of superior territorial gains, because its now a lot easier to get it right. Not a fan at all. One quick ruck will put almost the entire opposition team offside. That's unplayable. The obvious counter is for the defence to never put in anyone other than the tackler, thus avoiding the creation of a ruck or maul. I don't think that's a good thing to encourage. [/QUOTE]
