“A try is a way of scoring points in rugby union and rugby league football. A try is scored by grounding the ball in the opposition’s in-goal area (on or behind the goal line). Rugby union and league differ slightly in defining “grounding the ball” and the “in-goal” area. In rugby union a try is worth 5 points, and in rugby league a try is worth 4 points. However, in Union Tries were worth 4 points until a 1992 change. The term “try” comes from “try at goal”, signifying that grounding the ball originally only gave the attacking team the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.” — Wikipedia, article : Try (Rugby)
