What would you do?

Scenario 1: You are Chris Robshaw

You are Chris Robshaw and your England team has just been awarded a penalty on the 22 and dead in front of the posts. You are 4 points down and the clock is in the red. Do you take the easy points to close the game out and win the Six Nations Championship but lose the Grand Slam, or do you go for a scrum/tap and look for the try that will win you the Grand Slam, but open the door for Wales to turn you over and score some points for themselves that will take the Championship from you?

Vote Robshaw - shot at goal to throw Farrell the ball and tell him to end the game
Vote Robshaw - play for try to go for the try that could win the Grand Slam, but could cost the Championship

Scenario 2: You are Gethin Jenkins

You are Gethin Jenkins and your Wales team has just been awarded a penalty on the 22 and dead in front of the posts. You are 2 points up and the clock is in the red. Do you take the easy points to close the game out and "Slam Bust" but lose the Championship, or do you go for a scrum/tap and look for the try that will win you the Championship, but open the door for England to turn you over and score some points for themselves that will take the Grand Slam?

Vote Jenkins - shot at goal to throw Halfpenny the ball and tell him to end the game
Vote Jenkins - play for try to go for the try that could win the Championship, but could allow England the Slam

Multiple voting is allowed, so you can vote for an option for both Robshaw and Jenkins. You could vote for all the options, but that would be pointless. Just curious to know what people think. Feel free to vote regardless of nationality, based on what you would do in either of the situations.

Clock in red. Can't go for touch.

I went Robshaw- Go for the try!

I'd tap and go (scrum is a lottery and too risky on the 22 line, Walsh would never have the balls to go penalty try anyway). We'll have possesion and all the time in the world to get the try and even if we did cough up possesion the crazy Welsh would probably try to run it back anyway.

It would have to be all or nothing for Wales in that situation, you would likely finish 2nd either way so why not go for it?

That's why I said scrum or tap and go. If you want there's 10 seconds left and you go for the line-out. Either way, do you take the 3 pointer or go for the try?

Robshaw should go for goal and ensure championship - slams are over-rated.

Jenkins, has to go for try - surely it's all or nothing.

Both scenario's are low risk options, Robshaw has the title anyway, going for the try and coughing ball up in the opposing 22 menas he still has the title and Wales have to go 60 yards plus to get a shot at goal without a single mistake!!

Jenkins has the game won, and going for the try is again low risk, with the roles reversed.

We thought that last summer in Oz, two Hibbard pens later and Australia win. Saying that, ive voted for both to go for the try. Glory or bust is the only way!
