    5 ways

    TRY - have control of the ball over the try line while touching it to the floor. You can have the ball when you cross the line or collect it over the line.

    CONVERSION - After a try, or penalty try (see later), kick the ball, from the ground, over the crossbar but between the uprights. Position of the kick depends on where the ball is touched down.

    PENALTY - As conversion, but the kick is awarded for foul playby the defence.

    DROP KICK - Kick the ball over the bar, and between uprights, from hand.

    PENALTY TRY - Least frequent method of scoring, Awarded by refereee for repeated foul play near try line, or deliberate foul play that stops a definate try. Conversion for this is taken from directlyin front of posts no matter where the try is awarded.

    There are 5 ways, but a penalty try is quite rare and in my opinion unfair to be called

    You can either score a try in which you get 5 points for your team.

    After a try the team who did the try are awarded a conversion in which you have a goal kicker and they will kick the conversion back from where the try happened (say they move back 30m from where the try was scored) This is worth 2 points

    Then you have a penalty kick, where the opposite team does something wrong and your team gets a free kick, this is worth 3 points.

    A drop kick is a kick that a player does in game play which is not provoked or given, just the choice of the player, Jonny Wilkinson was famous for these. This is worth 3 points

    So that's rugby for ya, the best game to grace the evolutionised planet!

    Peace
