What is a "try"?
A try in rugby is a way of scoring points by grounding the ball over the opponent's try line. To score a try, a player must carry the ball into the opposition's in-goal area and touch it to the ground. A try is worth five points, and it is one of the main ways to score in rugby. After a try is scored, the team can attempt a conversion kick for additional points. Scoring a try is a key part of the game and can greatly influence the outcome of a match.
