might you list the ways a team can score and how much the points are worth?

Sure. It's actually a lot like football. A converted try (touchdown) is 7 points, and any other field goal is 3.

Try (Touchdown) = 5 pts - Like a touchdown but you actually have to touch the ball down in the endzone.

Conversion (Extra Point) = 2 pts - Like an extra point but you kick it from the angle that you score, i.e. if you score 5 yards from out of bounds you have to kick the conversion (extra point) from 5 yards away from the sideline.

Penalty Conversion (Field Goal) = 3 pts - anytime there is a penalty on the other team you can choose to try and kick an uncontested field goal from that spot. You can also drop kick a field goal for 3 points if you make it at any time.

That's it, those are the only ways to score points in rugby. Kick it through the uprights or touch the ball down in the endzone.
