[QUOTE="polonius, post: 154602"] You're right about the French approach to the game, but your second statement is too limited. You shouldn't be bitter over a kicker who kicks his goals; you should condemn the opposition who give away the penalties. Deliberately slowing the ball from rucks, coming in from the wrong side, failing to release the ball, offside in the backs, collapsing the scrum, disrupting the lineout ... all these things combine to stop the opposition from getting the ball to their backs and creating try-scoring opportunities. Far from increasing the points for a try (which has been the trend over the decades), the number of points for a penalty should be doubled - that might stop the infringements. [/QUOTE]
