[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 91885"] Teh Mite, I`m actually not really a big fan of the drop-goal myself, I also prefer some attacking, creative rugby being played. But the fact remains that drop goals can win you World Cups. Another point to ponder- if the opposition is defending specifically against the potential drop goal, this does free up some spaces for the team in possession to exploit. I`m not saying that the RWC will be won or lost by a side putting over loads of drop-goals, but it can certainly add some spice, drama and intrigue to affairs. Wrt using the drop as your only form of attack, well that reminds me way too much of another sport called football- didn`t William Webb Ellis actually pick up the darn football and run with the thing because too much kicking frustrated the hell out of him?
