[edit] Scoring

The scoring system used in rugby has changed many times over the years. In the original games scoring a "touch down" allowed the team to "try" a kick at goal. This is the derivation of the word "try" to describe a touch down in Rugby Union. Prior to 1890 each of the Home Unions had their own point scoring systems. A try scored in Scotland was worth 2 points whilst a try scored in England was worth 1 point. One of the first tasks undertaken by the International Rugby Football Board, formed in 1890, was to introduce a standard point scoring system. One point was awarded for a try, two points for a successful kick at goal after scoring a try (a conversion) and three points for a dropped goal or for a penalty goal. Most of the changes have been to increase the value of tries compared to goals (conversions, penalties, dropped-goals, and goals from mark).

Date	Try	Conversion	Penalty	Dropped-goal	Goal from mark
1890-1898	1 point	2 points	3 points	3 points	-
1899-1904	3 points	2 points	3 points	4 points	4 points
1905-1947	3 points	2 points	3 points	4 points	3 points
1948-1970	3 points	2 points	3 points	3 points	3 points
1971-1977	4 points	2 points	3 points	3 points	3 points
1977-1991	4 points	2 points	3 points	3 points	-
1992-present	5 points	2 points	3 points	3 points	-
