[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 597458, member: 39190"] Good post. I thin a lot depends on perspective. I would put forward an argument based on a simple set of circumstances to try and illustrate why I think it is good as is; Lets say team A attacks relentlessly but team B intercepts and scores a try under the posts and converts for 7 points. Team A continues to attack relentlessly but team B keeps on infringing at the breakdown making in next to impossible for team A to score a try. They do however get awarded a penalty kick for 2 points. This continues to be the trend and after only four times do team A pass team B on the scoreboard. Very simplistic but it shows how less value to a penalty kick can ruin a game or at least make for what I would personally deem an unfair result. At least in my eyes. I doubt NZers would see it this way though as they tend towards scoring the tries and rather giving away the penalties :P [/QUOTE]
