That would allow for aggressive play calling, as rugby has some hard runners, and players who can kick regular field goals as well as drop kick field goals at anytime in the game. Say you are going for 2 every time and it is a simple drop kick that is basically automatic.

If you get the right look, it could be an easy two instead.

Anything to get more ruggers into the NFL!

I don't think they can drop kick during a two point conversion attempt anymore.

I floated the idea when the rule was initially passed (and the technical language was not finalized) that the offense could commit to a run or pass, snap from the 2-yard line, and then kick a dropkick. Vice president of officiating Dean Blandino threw water on that idea:

If a team attempts a kick that does not snap from the 15 (or equivalent yard line after a penalty), it is a touchback, and the conversion attempt fails.
On the other hand, if the line of scrimmage is set for a kick, the offense may still run or pass for two points, particularly if there is a botched snap.
