The main objective of the game of rugby is to score more points than the opposing team by carrying, passing, or kicking the ball into the opponent's in-goal area or by kicking it through the goalposts. Points can be scored in several ways, including a try (touching the ball down in the in-goal area), a conversion (kicking the ball after a try), a penalty goal, or a drop goal. The game combines strength, strategy, and teamwork, making it a highly competitive and dynamic sport.
