Scoring in Rugby

In rugby, teams score points by touching the ball down in the end zone, by kicking conversions, or penalty kicks. Touching the ball down in the endzone is called a "try" and is worth 5 points.

Here is the breakdown of scoring in Rugby:

Try - To score a try, you must touch the ball down in the endzone (marked by the try line). You can not drop the ball, this would still be considered a knock on. You must tap the ball down or place it on the ground to score points. A try is worth 5 points.

Conversion kick - A conversion kick occurs after a try is scored. The kicker must kick the ball in between the uprights, and they must kick in line with where the try was scored, but can kick from any depth. Conversions are worth 2 points

Penalty Kick - Similar to a conversion kick except they are awarded after a serious penalty. The kick must be taken from the location of the penalty. A penalty kick is worth 3 points.
