In a standard game of rugby, points are scored in several ways, primarily through tries, conversions, penalty kicks, and drop goals. A try, worth five points, is awarded when a player touches the ball down in the opponent's in-goal area. Following a try, a conversion kick can be attempted for an additional two points. Penalty kicks can be taken for three points when fouls occur, while drop goals during active play also score three points. The combination of these scoring methods adds strategic complexity to the game, emphasizing teamwork and tactical execution.
