Default Re: OT - Rugby World Cup

Sure, the one and the only objective is to win the game. Nobody argues with it. But may be we should consider some changes to the rules to make game more exciting ? I have nothing against drop-goals, it is a pleuforia of penalties I don't like. Scoring points should be something more challenging than kikick the ball after some minor infringement in the scrum !! Why not move the scrum 5 yards forward, something akin to American football rules ? Or award more free kicks ? It is just a profanity of the game when all the scoring is due to referee desisions and not by teams. Just MHO.
