The primary objective in the game of rugby is to score more points than the opposing team. This can be achieved through various methods, including scoring a try, which involves grounding the ball in the opponent's in-goal area, or by kicking for goal after a try or during play. Points can also be scored by kicking field goals or penalty goals. Players must work together strategically, utilizing both offense and defense to outmanoeuvre the opposing team and ultimately secure a victory.
