Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3291439, member: 9052"] I'm not sure it would achieve a whole lot. Imagine a team kicking off after scoring a try, they'd be amped up to absolutely belt the opposition. On the other hand the team now receiving the ball has just conceded a try. The pressure on them to complete the set and get to a kick would be huge, especially coming up against an amped up defensive line... there's a reason why teams like to kick off in golden point. It can very well give you a leg up on field position if you come with intent in the defensive line. If the receiving team, who has just conceded a try, is getting belted with ball in hand and only make it to the 40m, suddenly the team that just scored can be up to the 30m or 40m line on tackle 1... it gets worse if the receiving team makes an error on the kick off set, which can be common place on sets after a try. I think they will either change offsides back to being a full penalty... or they will just make ruck infringements and offsides full penalties when it's inside your own half. That gives some reprieve to being able to compete in the field position battle and can provide a reset to halt momentum swings. [/QUOTE]
