Scoring in a rugby game is calculated through various methods: a try, conversion, penalty, and drop goal. A try is worth five points and is scored when a player grounds the ball in the opponent's in-goal area. After a try, teams can attempt a conversion kick for two additional points. Penalty kicks and drop goals can each add three points. Thus, teams can accumulate points through different scoring opportunities. The combination of these scoring methods contributes to the overall strategy and dynamic of the game.
