[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 1050123, member: 53057"] It's such a contestable kick that you usually either win the ball back or the opposition are tackled immediately and are usually in their own half. It's very hard to counter-attack off of and if the opposition make any mistake you get the ball in a great position. I'd argue modern rugby is more about territory than possession and when it's executed properly it's a very useful tactic. The drop kick, is mostly because it's a difficult skill and 5/7 is more than 3. As a missed drop goal is only a 22 arguably we should see more of it, but I'd say those are the main reasons we don't really see it. [/QUOTE]
