[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1179661, member: 73592"] Meh, I've no problem with going for a drop goal when you get a penalty advantage, especially if there's nothing much on and you're trying to up the tempo. Ford's was a terrible attempt, but these things happen when it's a snap decision. I get the argument of "go for the try or don't bother doing anything" when you get advantage, but there's a lot to be said for A] keeping the threat in the opposition's minds as something they need to cover, and B] taking the 3 points very quickly, and getting on with the game without letting up the pressure (if the kick succeeds). I think a certain (far from all) of the reason it's being criticised so much is that A] it missed, and B] it was Ford doing it, and he seems to be being the villain of the piece now there's no Farrell around.
