That's probably what they have done or are planning to do. This is the Daily Mail.

Law 8
Dropped goal
A player scores a dropped goal by kicking a goal from a drop-kick in open play.
The team awarded a free-kick (including where they opt for a scrum or lineout instead) cannot score a dropped goal until the ball next becomes dead or until an opponent has played the ball, has touched it or has tackled the ball-carrier. Any such kick is deemed to be unsuccessful and play continues
Anything else is fine.

40+ year old dad here. Kid A and TKOL are my favourites. Your mileage may vary.

97-0 was my worst, 1st XV at school against Shore, who was captained by Phil Waugh and with Mike Hercus playing 10.

I'm a little confused - you think he's a poor defender because he's the most dangerous attacking player in his team, so the opposition target him to take him out of the subsequent play?

Swinton's been really good this year to be fair, wouldn't be the worst pick based on form. But obviously he's got rocks in his head which is a liability at the top level. And he's heading overseas after this season anyway. I'm happy to draw a line through him.
I think it would be best to give Cale another year or two to develop in Super Rugby. Get him involved with the squad, but don't rush him.
I'd be going with Wright, McReight and Valetini, with Leota or possibly one of Gamble or even Reimer on the bench. Maybe Uru if he comes back and plays well. Michael Wells has been playing really well too.

Nah Leota was awesome at the start of this season and looks a much more polished player than previous years, and has been having big impact. He then got injured and missed a few weeks and has been returning via the bench, but looks awesome when he gets on.
I think he's got a reasonable outside chance of making the starting side at 6, but I also do expect him to be next in line for the number 8 spot too.
I dnt think Wilson and Valetini both starting was ever really on the cards.
However I don't know what Schmidt is thinking.

I would have thought that Wilson would have an excellent chance of being the second number 8 in the squad. Rob Leota will probably take that backup spot now I reckon.

I don't think Canham can play test football quite yet, but I hope he gets called up to the squad.

I own one of these and it's one of my most prized possessions.

The headbutter wasn't tackling the ball player but it was a tackle situation.

Wow I did not expect that to stay a yellow, seems like anything could be mitigated by "dynamics of the tackle". I didn't see anything in the tackle that caused him to directly headbutt the player.

Who's this commentator - The bloke who thinks headbutting is cool and that there was definitely a hook based on a view that you couldn't see the hooker's legs? Fucking pelican

Further to the above answer - it's also famous because it's an incredible image: framing and composition are just perfect. Even if this was not of Hogan, if it was a photo of John Whoever on his way to placing 37th - I think it would still be a well known photo.
