Drop Goal
Method of scoring in rugby. Throughout a significant portion of rugby's history it was worth more than tries. However this has been reduced to 3 in Union and 1 in League.
Taken by kicking the ball between the uprights on the bounce after having been dropped.
Since Jonny Wilkinson's proficiency at taking this kind of kick, there have been calls to reduce the value even further in Union.
NOTE: This was not an issue when Jannie de Beer scored 5 against England in the 1999 world cup.

That's not fair, the English aren't allowed to win anything.
