[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 998859, member: 73592"] Have to say, I'm surprised to see this question from yourself. Cynicism - if you're opponent needs more than 3 points to win, you can afford the risk of giving away 3 points and making them build their attack again. Most of the those penalties are cynical, to stop them building a try scoring opportunity, or central in the pitch where it's tougher to defend, but also tougher to make ground by going for the corner. Of course, if you do it too many times, you will get pegged back into the corner defending a line-out; but it's definitely the "smart" play [/QUOTE]
