[QUOTE="FlukeArtist, post: 434903, member: 42995"] Ezekiel, I'm not trying to claim that I wouldn't be happy if my team won on penalties- read what I wrote. I am saying that: 1- It is simply not good entertainment, and does nothing to grow the game worldwide (I mean- people in the states don't watch NFL for the field goals, and people here is NZ are starting to turn to league simply because the game has better entertainment value these days) I want to see Rugby grow and flourish, and the current system is not encouraging positive play. 2- I think it is a rip that 2 penalties, or 2 drop goals are worth more than a try. As I stated before the endeavour and effort it takes to score a try exceeds the other point scoring methods and this should be reflected in the points awarded for each. Again- just my opinion, but Rugby suffers for this point scoring system. They changed the points scoring system in the early 90s. No reason why they can't change it again now [/QUOTE]
