Why have kicking tees disappeared from kickoffs?

    I was watching some relatively recent rugby matches a while ago (late 90's, early '00's) and the kickoff was taken with a tee or sand. It seems to have completely disappeared, replaced with a dropkick. Why so?

    Ah ok. When did the rule change, and was it for the reason of speeding up the game?
