I hate monkeying around with the rules, but this isnt a bad idea, something needs to change because in the semi-finals we saw two teams basically not even bother with tries.
Maybe limit when you can kick for goal or reduce the value of kicking for goal, or maybe even just limit the number of times per game you can kick for goal.
Because I think on two occasions I saw kicks being made from about 53 metres and anything in the 44-48M range was made regularly and only Foley seemed to have trouble with anything closer than that so teams were just getting into the opposition half, working for a penalty and kicking for goal.
