Ways to score in rugby

Here are the four ways to score in Rugby Union matches.

Tries – 5 points

A try is scored when a player grounds the ball over the opposition’s goal line.

A try is worth five points.

Conversions – 2 points

After a team scores a try, they have the opportunity to kick a conversion. The conversion is taken from a spot in line with where the try was scored, and it must pass between the goalposts and over the crossbar.
