“A win this weekend would not only reward the players for all of their hard work, but it would be a great reward for the supporters and the club as a whole,” said Baxter as already qualified Exeter look to finish their pool campaign with the win that would earn them a home quarter-final.

Yes no point in continually penalizing say, a prop for having inadequate technique. A penalty is not the sanction for that in any other aspect of the game!
If you keep the defending 9 behind the hindmost foot and monitor binds strictly on the defending forwards, ample attacking opportunities should be presented. Only penalize dangerous play like deliberate collapses.
Go to comments9 years and no win? Damn. That’s some mighty poor biasing right there.
