For the method of scoring in American and Canadian football, see <a href="/wiki/Conversion_(gridiron_football)" title="Conversion (gridiron football)">Conversion (gridiron football)</a>.</div> <p>A <b>try</b> is a way of scoring points in <a href="/wiki/Rugby_union" title="Rugby union">rugby union</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rugby_league" title="Rugby league">rugby league</a> football. A try is scored by grounding the ball in the opposition's in-goal area (on or behind the goal line). Rugby union and league differ slightly in defining "grounding the ball" and the "in-goal" area. In rugby union a try is worth 5 points, and in rugby league a try is worth 4 points. </p><p>The term "try" comes from "try at goal", signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A try is analogous to a <a href="/wiki/Touchdown" title="Touchdown">touchdown</a> in <a href="/wiki/American_football" title="American football">American</a> and <a href="/wiki/Canadian_football" title="Canadian football">Canadian football</a>, with the major difference being that a try requires the ball be simultaneously touching the ground and an attacking player, whereas a touchdown merely requires that the ball enter the airspace above the "end zone" while in the possession of an opposing player. In both codes of rugby, the term <i>touch down</i> formally refers only to grounding the ball by the defensive team in their in-goal. </p><p>A try is scored in <a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_rugby" title="Wheelchair rugby">wheelchair rugby</a> following a change in terminology in an effort to become more aligned to rugby union "<a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_rugby#Tries" title="Wheelchair rugby">tries</a>"<sup id="cite_ref-JapanTimes01a_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-JapanTimes01a-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (Tries are worth 1 point each, and, unlike tries in rugby union and rugby league, there is no subsequent <a href="#Conversion">conversion</a> attempt). <a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_rugby_league" title="Wheelchair rugby league">Wheelchair rugby league</a> gives tries the same number of points as the normal game (four) and conversions are taken and are worth two points. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Scoring_a_try">Scoring a try</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Try_(rugby)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Scoring a try"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Aspects_common_to_both_union_and_league">Aspects common to both union and league</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Try_(rugby)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Aspects common to both union and league"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are differences in the fine detail of the laws and their interpretation between the two rugby codes. These are the common aspects, while the differences are treated below. </p> <ul><li>The player holding the ball to score a try and the ball itself must not be in touch or touch-in-goal (including on or over the dead ball line). The touchline, touch-in-goal lines and dead ball lines count as being 'out'. There has to be contact with the ground by a player or the ball for it to be ruled in touch or touch-in-goal. Parts of the body in the air above the lines and outside the field of play or in-goal are not touch, and it is common to see players who are partly in the air over the lines still grounding the ball successfully.</li> <li>The in-goal area in which the ball must be grounded includes the goal line, but not the touch-in-goal and dead ball lines.</li> <li>Grounding the ball in both codes means either holding it and touching it to the ground in-goal, or placing hand, arm or front of body between waist and neck (the front torso) on top of the ball which is on the ground in-goal.</li> <li>A player does not need to be holding the ball to ground it. If the ball is on the ground or just above it, it can be touched to the ground with a hand, arm or front torso. Match officials interpret dropping the ball in-goal as a knock-on, and disallow a try. For a try to be awarded, they consider whether the player had the intention to ground the ball and was in control of the ball when he did. Grounding of the ball can be instantaneous, it does not matter if the player immediately lets go and the ball then bounces forward.</li> <li>An attacking player who falls to the ground before reaching the goal line scores a try if momentum carries the player so that the ball touches the in-goal, including the goal line.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Variations_specific_to_rugby_union">Variations specific to rugby union</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Try_(rugby)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Variations specific to rugby union"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>A player may ground the ball in one of two ways: 1) if the ball is held in the hand(s) or arm(s), merely touching the ball to the ground in-goal suffices and no downward pressure is required; 2) if the ball is on the ground in-goal, downward pressure from the hand(s), arm(s) or upper body (waist to neck) is required. For a try to be awarded, an attacking player must ground the ball before a defender does so. If there is doubt about which team first grounded the ball, the attacking team are awarded a 5-metre scrum.</li> <li>A player who is in touch or touch-in-goal, but who is not carrying the ball, may score a try by grounding the ball in-goal.</li> <li>Since May 2020 the goal-posts and padding at ground level are not considered part of the goal line. A try may not be scored by grounding the ball at the foot of the posts.</li> <li>A player may ground the ball in a scrum as soon as the ball reaches or crosses the goal line. (A scrum can only exist in the field-of-play, so as soon as the ball touches or crosses the line, the scrum is over and players may unbind and ground the ball.)</li> <li>If an attacking player is tackled short of the goal-line but <i>immediately</i> reaches out and places the ball on or over the goal-line, a try is scored. (This is a direct contrast to rugby league, which would award a penalty for "double movement", see below. There is occasionally confusion amongst spectators and players at community levels of the game and an incorrect protest of "double movement" is a common one at English rugby union matches. A "double movement" in rugby union involves movement of the torso, rather than arms only.)</li> <li>If a television match official (TMO, or video referee) has been appointed, the referee may ask for advice before deciding whether to award a try. The referee is first required to specify the officials' on-field decision (try or no try) before specifying what matters are in doubt. This can include circumstances related to the scoring of the try, such as whether the ball was grounded properly or the scorer's foot was in touch, as well as matters that happened prior to the try, such as whether a pass was forward or a player committed an obstruction. The TMO is not confined to the matters the referee specified and can offer advice to the referee on other things that have happened.

The kick is taken at any point on the field of play in line with the point that the ball was grounded for the try, and parallel to the <a href="/wiki/Touch-line" class="mw-redirect" title="Touch-line">touch-lines</a>. If successful, additional points are scored. For the conversion to be successful, the ball must pass over the crossbar and between the uprights. In both codes, the conversion may be attempted as either a place kick (from the ground) or a <a href="/wiki/Drop_kick" title="Drop kick">drop kick</a>. Most players will nevertheless opt for a place kick, this being generally regarded as the easier skill. Note, however, that in both <a href="/wiki/Rugby_sevens" title="Rugby sevens">rugby sevens</a> (usually, but not always, played under union rules) and <a href="/wiki/Rugby_league_nines" title="Rugby league nines">rugby league nines</a>, conversions may only take place as drop kicks. </p><p>In rugby league, the game clock continues during preparation and execution of a conversion, with the institution of a 25-second shot clock at certain tournaments from the moment the try is awarded by the referee, within which time the conversion kick must be taken, hence a team may decline a conversion attempt if recommencing play as quickly as possible is advantageous to them. An example of this occurred in the <a href="/wiki/2020_NRL_Grand_Final" title="2020 NRL Grand Final">2020 NRL Grand Final</a>, when the Penrith Panthers scored a try with 20 seconds remaining in the match, bringing them to within 6 points of the Melbourne Storm. Penrith declined the conversion in order to give themselves time to try to draw level on the last play; had the team chosen to take the conversion, the remaining time on the clock would have elapsed, ending the match with a certain Panthers loss.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In rugby union the clock is not stopped during the conversion and the kicker has to attempt the conversion within 90 seconds.

A try [at goal] was awarded for grounding the ball in the opponents' in-goal area. The try had zero value itself, but allowed the attacking team to <i>try</i> a kick at goal without interference from the other team. This kick, if successful, <i>converts</i> a <i>try</i> into a <i>goal</i>. </p><p>Modern rugby and all derived forms now favour the try over a goal and thus the try has a definite value, that has increased over time and has for many years surpassed the number of points awarded for a goal. In rugby league and rugby union, a conversion attempt is still given, but is simply seen as adding extra 'bonus' points. These points, however, can mean the difference between winning or losing a match, so thought is given to fielding players with good goal-kicking skill. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Goal_from_a_try"></span>Since 1979, in rugby union, the "try" and "conversion goal" have been officially considered as separate scores. Before then, the converted try was officially a single score called a "goal from a try" which replaced the score of the (unconverted) "try".<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The change allowed the player who touched down for the try and the player who kicked the conversion to be credited separately for their portions of the score. Until the 1990s, a restart kick after an unconverted try was taken as a place kick, with drop-kicks taken after a goal. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span
