Your proposal for a new scoring system sounds interesting though. I wouldn't hate going to 6 for the try and 1 for the conversion. My change however would be to not allow kicks at goal for minor penalties such as ruck infractions.

Horribleness of England? They lost to Australia which was to be expected, lost to Wales by 3 points in a game where Wales got every single break and call and whipped the lesser teams they played. I think the RWC was a huge disappointment but not sure it was horrible.
I agree with changing when to allow for teams to go for kicks. It seems now teams get into the other teams half and then try to get a penalty rather than trying to score a try. I understand why with the way kickers can basically hit any kick within the half but it makes more a much more boring game at times.
