There are ten minutes to play. It's hypothetical scenario time.

[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 638745, member: 20605"] Firstly, if you get the 3 points, it leaves you 2 points behind. Ten minutes is plenty of time to get field position and a dropped goal to put you in front. Even of you later concede a penalty goal or drop goal, you will still be within a converted try of the lead. Secondly, even if you miss and kick it dead (from the 22 you should) you will likely retain possession from the 22 DO (or at least you will be in a contest for the ball) and again you will still be within a converted try of winning. But, if you go for the corner, and it doesn't work out, you'll be under pressure to score a converted try to win. Its a no-brainer; the high percentage play is to attempt to take the points. [/QUOTE]
