Scoring

Points can be scored in one of four ways:

  • try is awarded when a player places the ball down in their opponent’s dead ball area behind the goal. 5 points are awarded.
  • conversion is a free-kick that the team is awarded after a try to earn 2 bonus points. A successful kick needs to pass between the upper posts and top bar on the goal.
  • penalty kick will gain a team 3 points and is awarded to a team when the opposing team causes an infringement.
  • drop goal can be kicked out of the hand as long as the ball bounces first and can earn a team 3 points.
