Its still part of the game tho, its a set piece play in open play, like a well worked try, so why should they count for less, I have no problem with it, cos at the end of the day if one team is playing a mainly kicking game which plays to their strengths and the other place an attacking back line which is always looking for try's then your in for an interesting game as they both have to decided who to take into account each others strengths...

So what if a game is won by a drop goal, well done for that team taking the risk trying to achieve it...

The case with the England vs South Africa game is that England didnt combat there line of attack which was the drop goal so they got penalised... enuff said the drop goal is here to stay, and I think a certain aussie is scared however if it was Australia attempting drop goals and winning games I think it would be a different story... South Africa should be hailed for mastering it and England should be slated for not defending it...
