In rugby, a try is a way of scoring points by grounding the ball in the oppositions in-goal area (on or behind the goal line)). The ball must be simultaneously touching the ground and an attacking player). A try is worth 5 points in rugby union and 4 points in rugby league). The term "try" comes from "try at goal", signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal). A penalty try can be awarded if a player would have scored a try but for foul play by the opposition. A penalty try is now worth 7 points with no conversion attempted. The conversion kick can be taken either as a place kick (from the ground) or a drop kick, and is worth 2 points. A drop goal is scored when a player kicks for goal in open play by dropping the ball onto the ground and kicking it on the half-volley, and is worth 3 points.
