I'm pretty sure twitter is awful enough without people.
It's like the ship from Event Horizon possessed by demons from another dimension.

The other day La Rochelle got a penalty around halfway and then made a break and got over the line but Leyds knocked it on when he got tackled as he grounded it...and the ref went back for the penalty!Made Of Ale wrote: ↑September 24th, 2022, 7:55 pm Penalty advantages. Specific complaint is that not scoring a try nearly always equals 'no advantage'.
In my opinion:
- If you make a decent territory gain (20m or so), advantage should be over.
- If the ball gets over the try line, and you have a legitimate chance of scoring (e.g. from a cross kick), advantage should be over.
Also, the advantage takes no account of how likely a team is to score a try from any play. If you haven't scored a try all match, why should it be 'no advantage' if you don't score while on pen advantage in the 80th minute?
- The advantage should be time limited (1 minute?), at which point it should be advantage over or come back for the penalty.
The current interpretations cause overlong advantages and repeated penalty cycles that are biased against the defending team. Leinster make the most of this, but I'm still fed up of it TBH.
