Did anyone watch the game lastnight between Australia and Great Britian. We smashed them 64-10. At half time it was 36-0. Australia scored 11 tries and Andrew Johns converted 10 out of 11. Great Britian scored 2 trys and converted only 1 of them.
 
just think of rugby as if you were to mix a little bit of footbal,soccer,volleyball,and the beating the crap out of each other from hockey!
 
a try is worth 4 points
after you score a try, you kick the ball off of a kicking tee 20 or so metres away from where you scored over the tryline. if you kick the ball between the post you get another 2 points.
if you are running with the ball and dropkick it between the posts you get 1 point.

now, if you score a try and someone on the other team, for example, comes up and deliberatly shuves you over, you get the 4 points for the try, than you attempt to kick the ball over the posts for another 2 points and then you get another kick right in front of the posts for an attempt at another 2 points. in total, that's 8 points. it's called a penalty try or 8 point try.

BTW, a try is a touch-down, only you don't trow it down on the ground, you have to place it on the ground without dropping it.
