Touch

Score a try and your team-mates, teachers and coach will be your best mates for ever.Alright, maybe not for that long, but you'll definitely be among the popular players in the team. The reason why is because a try is worth five points - the maximum number of points you can score in one go in rugby union. A try is scored when a player puts the ball on the ground with "downward pressure" (very important) inside the opposition's in-goal area between the try line and dead ball line. Aim to score as many tries in one game as possible.

Convert

A conversion kick is a great way of getting two bonus points after your team after your team have scored a try. The kick is taken from a point level with where the ball was grounded for the try. A conversion is successful if the ball goes between the opposition's goalposts and above the crossbar. Conversions are taken from all parts of the pitch, so if you are trusted to score the extra points, practise kicking from all corners of the pitch.

Penalty

A penalty kick is a brilliant way of annoying the opposition after they have committed an offence. The referee will award the penalty from the spot where the offence occurred. Your team has the choice of kicking for goal or kicking for touch. If you are not too far from the opposition's goalposts, a kick for goal is worth three points if you are successful. But to be successful, the ball has to go through the opposition's goalposts, above the crossbar. Once it does that, you get three points onto the scoreboard. But if you are too far out to kick for goal, a kick to touch is a good way of gaining ground. Better still, your team gets the throw at the line out. So don't give too many penalties away, OK?

Drop Goal

A drop goal not only looks spectacular, it's also a handy way of adding three points to your team's score from open play.

Just ask Jonny Wilkinson, who won England the Rugby World Cup with a drop goal in the dying seconds of the final against Australia in 2003.

A drop goal is scored when a player kicks the ball from hand through the opposition's goal posts, above the crossbar.

However, the ball must touch the ground between being dropped and kicked.

So no cheating, otherwise the referee will have a few words to say to you.
