Rugby Maths



The scoring system used in rugby is: 5 points for a try, 2 for a conversion (so 7 points for a converted try), and 3 points for a penalty or drop goal.

Yesterday Japan played Canada in the RWC.  The score was 23 all.  What are some of the scoring combinations that could have given each team their 23 points?  Remember to leave your name...

    2 converted tries(14) and 3 penalties (9)=23

    4 un-converted tries (20) and 1 penalty (3)=23

    1 un-converted try (5) and 6 penalties (18)=23
