So rugby (union) is in the doghouse again. There's no doubt that it's a potentially dangerous sport and has become more so recently as a result of the way the game is played these days. So, what can be done? I have a few ideas which I think are worthy of consideration and which would not only make the game safer for the players, but also more entertaining for the spectators. So - here goes -
1. Do away with the penalty kick at goal. You either take a tap penalty, or kick for touch and take the resulting line-out.
2. Increase the points for a drop goal from 3 to 4.
3. Tackles must be made below the waist
4. Replace scrums with rugby league-type "play the ball"
So there you have it - the idea is to speed the game up, allow more "off-loading" and get away from boring games being decided by penalty kicks.
What do you think?
