Work out rugby points total instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Rugby union scoring is five for a try, two for a conversion and three each for a penalty goal or drop goal, so the total is the weighted sum of those four counts. A converted try is worth more than two penalties, which is why sides trailing by more than six shift from kicking at goal to chasing tries.
