The posts are not part of the net. If the ball hits the post or goes around the post, the ball is out of play. It is the other team's point

Nicholas Lenaz - Rugby During a game on Sunday, June 19, 2011 Nicholas Lenaz tried to stop an attacker from scoring and ran into the goal posts, knocking them to the ground.
It doesn't really matter how high the posts are but the net should be 7 ft from the playing surface. Hope this helps
There are three point systems in rugby, but two ways of scoring in rugby. The first one is to score a try by placing the ball down in the scoring zone, you need to place pressure to be able for it to count, i.e you cannot drop the ball over it. The other way of scoring is by penalty or drop kicking the ball though the posts. After the try if you convert (by kicking the ball through the posts you get an extra two points. Try=5 points Conversion=2 points (try must be scored) Penalty or drop kick=3 points
To outscore the opposition by scoring a higher total of points. A goal in Australian rules is worth 6 points. A goal is achieved by kicking the ball through the two tallest scoring posts. There is a set of four posts at each end of the ground. A team can score at only one set (which alternates each quarter). Because kicking a goal is with 6 points it's very much the preferred scoring method. A behind is worth 1 point. A behind is scored by kicking the the ball into either of the taller posts, kicking the ball between a tall post (goal post) and the short post (behind post) or by having the ball carried, handballed or punch over the goal line.
A Field Goal is a method of scoring points. It is not a structure, and therefore it is not something that can be measured for tallness.
Rugby The prime objective is to ground the ball across the goal line to score a try. In order to do this, a team's players must have possession of the ball. Their opponent's objective is to prevent them from scoring a try. Following a try, the scoring team have theopportunity to place the ball 22 metres as a minimum from the opposing teams goal post and to kick that ball over the cross bar and between the posts - This is a CONVERSATION. The attacking team may score a goal by drop kicking the ball over the cross bar and between the upright posts of the opposing sides goal posts when in position of the ball from anywhere in the "in play" area of the field.
Its from the greek word "doing your best". In the early days of Rugby Union there were no points for scoring a try. The try only gave the team the right to 'try' to score points by kicking the ball between the posts.
Rugby School in England was probably the first place where goalposts were used, as the students there developed their own version of football -- what we now know as rugby -- in the mid-19th century.Initially, the posts were just that -- two vertical posts, not connected by a crossbar. Australian rules football still uses this kind of post. Rugby was probably the first football code to introduce a crossbar. Doing so prevented players from running the ball up to the goal line and then dribbling the ball between the posts, along the ground, for an easy score. (Keep in mind that originally, scoring a try -- rugby's equivalent of a touchdown -- counted for no points. Kicking goals was how you won the game, and scoring a try just gave you the right attempt a kick at goal -- which is where the extra point/PAT came from.) With the addition of a crossbar, scoring goals became more of a challenge and kept players from crowding in front of the goalposts -- either to make an easy score or to prevent one.Soccer in the 1860s adopted the same concept, except that in soccer, the purpose of the crossbar was to prevent teams from scoring easy goals with towering kicks from far downfield. Once players had to kick the under the crossbar to score, they had to develop greater strategies for getting the ball into the goal.Today, all football codes use some variation on the goalpost. Rugby and American football use virtually the same type of post. Soccer lost the top half of the post and added a net to the bottom, while Gaelic football retained the net and the posts extending above it. And of course, Aussie rules simply has the vertical posts with no crossbar at all.
