sorry TM........this thread was not meant as a rant against Scotland.........or England...... or any team in particular
It's just an idea I have been mulling over for quite sometime in my desire to see more tries (and more reward for tries) in every match...........and whilst I admit the Scotland vs England match bought it to the surface again in me I don't blame Scotland for their tactics......they won the match fair + square and good on them!!!!
South Africa has also been guilty of doing this............several times they have gone out and shot for 3-4 field goals within 10-15 minutes of the openning whistle.........to me this is a more blatant attempt to take advantage of what I see as anomolies in the points system than what happenned last Saturday..........and when they are 9-0 up after having very little time in the oppositions half it really pisses me off..........
I like yer willingness to go to 7 points for a try............the right spirit son!!!!
