Best Answer

you can score 3 points for kicking it over the bar when its a penalty,

you can score 3 points for a drop kick


you can score 5 points for a try, when you place the ball on the floor when ova the try line, but if you throw it down it is called a knock on and it doesnt count


after you score a try, you have a conversion, if you get the ball over the bar for the conversion you get a extra 2 points

if you touch the ball over the oppositions "try" line you get 5 points you the get to take a conversion which will add an additional 2 points

another way of getting points is by what is known as a "drop goal" this is when a player from one team drop goals the ball over the oppositions posts which will lead to you getting 3 points

the final way of getting points is from a "penalty" this is when a player from the opposing team infringes the rules in some way leading to your team having a choice of: a scrum, a kick to touch, a run, or a penalty if you chose the penalty you will have a kick a the posts, the kick will be from a tee and if you get it over the bar and in between the posts you will receive 3 points

and that is the scoring in Rugby

IN the Union Code its 5 points for a try, and two points if the try is converted (the kick after), three points for a drop goal and 3 points if a penalty is kicked and scored

In the League code a try is worth four points, a conversion is worth 2 points, apenalty kick is 2 points and a drop goal is 1 point

In rugby a player can score points for their team in three ways. They can take the ball into the try zone (endzone) and touch the ball to the ground; this is called a try. A try awarded is worth five points to the scoring team. After the try is awarded the scoring team takes the ball back 22meters from where the try was scored and either drop kicks or kicks from a tee the ball. If the kick passes through the uprights two additional points are awarded. A player may also drop kick the ball at any time in the game and if it goes through the goal three points are awarded.

Penalties are also worth 3 points.

A ball is placed down with hand pressure by a attacking player on the opposing try line or in the goal area to score a try.

Then the attacking team can attempt to convert the try by kicking the ball over the opposing teams goal cross bar.

A penalty kick can be awarded and again the ball is kicked over the cross bar of the opposing teams goal posts

a drop kick where a player will drop the ball to the ground and as it makes contact with the ground the player kicks the ball over the opposing teams cross bar.

A penalty try. Where an attacking team is scrummaging within reach of the opposing goal line and the opposing team commits a number of penalty offenses the referee may award a penalty try to the attacking team
