Two teams of fifteen (rugby union) or thirteen (rugby league) players carry, pass and kick the ball down the field in order to be able to touch the ball down in the opposition's in-goal, (an in-goal being the comparative and the derivative of the end zone in America football). When the ball is touched down, it is known as a '''try'''. Scoring a try awards that team a certain amount of points: 5 in rugby union and 4 in rugby league. An '''attempt''' (or try, the original source of the word) '''at conversion''' is than allowed which is taken by kicking the ball from a stationary position on the ground (usually with the help of a kicking tee or a small mound of dirt) over the '''crossbars''' of the posts which awards the team an additional 2 points. Other manners of scoring points is by penalty kick: worth 2 points in rugby league and 3 points in rugby union, or by drop goal:worth 1 point in rugby league and 3 points in rugby union.
