When I first started playing, in the sixties, the scoring went like this: score a try, kick a conversion, whereupon the try was "converted" into a "goal". Tries began at three points, and then later for the best period of rugby a try was four points. Thus, a try = 4 points. A goal = 6 points. And a conversion wasn't strictly a score: it merely described the effect produced by a successful kick. Hence, incidentally, where the term "penalty goal" came from: it was a score as a result of a penalty and worth fewer points. A goal only then was kicked. Even then few people bothered with the strict scoring terms and meanings, if any, actually. So by example if a team scored two tries, and only one was converted, the scoreboard should read 1 try 1 goal. No one ever put up the correct terminology, of course, though these were clearly expressed in the rules -- for decade after decade. I wonder if those terms are still buried in the rules somewhere, to this day.
Really intrigued... Who do you support?

Excellent explanation-I am just learning to understand the basics. Well done, mate. You have given me a valuable jump start.
Great video! I can’t find Ep2 - can you help please?
I'm having the same issue
this is very informative .. i knew nothing about rugby but now i’ve got a lot of info.. thank you !
I love watching rugby but sometimes have no idea what's going on beyond the tries. Had no idea there were two types of sport though!
Looking forward to going through these vids. I moved to a place near a Rugby stadium so curious about checking out the game.
Hard to fault this mate🙌 Pinpoint what I was hoping for 👑
Thanks mate!
00:29 for a second there I thought that was Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) front and center....
Love to see episode 2

"I’d love to show this to new players, but the title might raise concerns with some parents."
As a South African, I don’t know how rugby works.
Lmao at "synical play" I'm in the US and watching Eng/France and literally searched Rugby for idiots. Idk if this is Union or league play though.
Isn't that peter crouch
