And it was a similar pattern in Super Rugby. Win a kickable penalty, point at the sticks. “That was a big part of my job,” Burke said. “I would say ‘let’s take the points, let’s bank the points’. The old bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, sort of thing. Build scoreboard pressure.” How things have changed. Anyone who has watched Super Rugby Pacific this season will have noticed a glaring absence of stick pointing. Penalty goals are out of fashion. Like planking, flash mobs and Kanye, banking three points is very last decade.
