Rugby Union Points Scoring System
21 Sep 2011
The Rugby union has a standard bonus points system to encourage attacking play throughout a match, to discourage repetitive goal-kicking, and to reward teams for “coming close” in losing efforts.
# No team can get more than 5 points in a match
# No points are awarded for losing, unless bonus points are involved
* 4 points for a win
* 2 points for a draw
* 1 bonus point for scoring 4 tries (or more)
* 1 bonus point for losing by 7 points (or less)
