Added: 3a4,9

Points are scored by:

* touching the ball down over the opponents goal line (a try, worth 4 points)
* kicking the ball above the crossbar and between the uprights of a large 'H' shaped set of posts. This may either be done from a place kick following a rule infringement (a penalty goal) or kicked from the hand, providing the ball strikes the ground before being kicked (a field goal, or drop goal). A penalty goal is worth 2 points and a drop goal is worth 1.
* A conversion, which is attempted after a try has been scored, from in line with where the try was scored. A conversion is similar to a penalty goal, worth 2 points.
