[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 910660, member: 72205"] The problem with that is it will lead to playacting. The only true answer of World Rugby thinks it's a problem that need solving is for guidelines of what it constitutes in terms of body/arm position is a legitimate intercept attempt. And honestly I think it's fair currently an intercept try is a great thing but we don't want them common place. If you decrease the risk associated with an intercept a penalty with a YC added in if there was a high chance of a try there you will increase intercept attempts. That in turn will lead to passes being less flat and therefore causing issues with attacks in game. Lets also remember a lot of these incidences occur during a major attacking threat so I think there is a lot more intent than people like to believe. So really we could scarificing normal attacking play to allow people to make last ditch defensive efforts after their team has screwed up. Remember not all penalties in the game are the result of a player willingly breaking the laws. [/QUOTE]
