Welcome to the Moonrise section of Astra Sport Daily. Here you’ll find short, straight‑to‑the‑point pieces that answer common questions and point you toward useful content. No fluff, just the facts you need.
Ever wonder why a rugby try doesn’t sound like a touchdown? In the 19th century the term “try” meant a chance to kick at goal after grounding the ball. Back then the goal kick was the main scoring method, so the act of touching the ball down was only a “try” at points.
Today the rules have flipped. A try now scores five points outright, and the subsequent conversion kick is the extra chance. The name stuck, even though the point value and the way we celebrate it are different from American football’s touchdown.
What this means for a fan is simple: when you see a player dive over the line and press the ball to the ground, the scoreboard adds five points right away. The conversion attempt that follows is just a bonus, not the reason the try earned its name.
