Prior to September 1971 a try, penalty and drop goal in Rugby union were all equal to three points. In September 1971 the points value of a try was increased to four. In April 1992 it was increased again to the current value of five points.

What is a try worth in rugby union?

Originally, running into the try zone and touching the ball down did not give any points. All you got was an attempt or 'try' at goal via being allowed to place the ball and kick (a place kick for goal). Or when William Webb Ellis put the ball down he asked: "Was that a goal?" and the sports master replied, "No, but it was a good try".
