I dont disagree with you Oleg but I think penalty decisions like moving the scrum forward 5 yards will favour those teams with powerful scrums.

My personal view is that you need the penalty kick in order to incentivise teams not to foul, but what you should do, IMHO, is make tries worth a lot more than 5 points, maybe 8 or 9 points and conVersion worth 3.

Tries then become paramount, and you would need an awful lot of infringements to make it match.

I think drop goals should be worth 4 points as having played the game for years, I know how damn hard they are to do, when the opposing team is doing its best to slam you down. Kicking straight under that sort of pressure is TOUGH with a capital OUCH
