SCORING


The scoring system used in rugby has changed many times over the years. Because rugby evolved from football, the original emphasis was on scoring goals rather than tries. As a consequence, the original scoring scheme had dropped-goals (3 points) worth three times a try (1 point). Most of the changes have been to increase the value of tries compared to goals (conversions, penalties, dropped-goals, and goals from mark). This table only contains scoring schemes from the periods during which Australia was playing test matches.
