[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 597453, member: 38640"] I tend to think penalties are too heavily rewarded in rugby to be honest. Most people who aren't rugby fans I speak to generally cite them as the worst part. More than that teams simply rely on other teams breaking a complex and subjective set of rules in order to grind out a win. Basically I'd like to see a penalty and drop kick become two points. I think it would be a much more exciting game if a team like the Springboks were given further incentive to kick for touch and get their awsome rolling maul going - because the attitude from pretty much every team is 'take the points when they're on offer' - which considering you get three of them per penalty is pretty much a given. That said many teams are successful scoring most of their points via tries - I just think looking at it logically an unconverted try will always be more of a spectacle than two penalties - and is usually considerably less subjective.
