Problem is in football moving a kick 10 yard forward in the majority of instances doesn't really give an advantage. Also in some instances moving the kick could actually disadvantage the attacking team.
With rugby being more of a territory game this is more of a penalty.

The simple fact is there is no need for rule changes. Law 12 states..... Why this isn't enforced I don't know.
Quote:
A player shall be sent off the field of play and shown the red card, if, in the opinion of the referee, he:
(n) is guilty of violent conduct;
(o) is guilty of serious foul play;
(p) uses foul or abusive language;
(q) is guilty of a second cautionable offense after having received a caution.
