  • 🥏 Scoring Methods – Points can be scored through:

    • Try: Touching the ball down in the opponent’s in-goal area (4 points).

    • Conversion Kick: After a try, kicking the ball between the posts (2 points).

    • Penalty Goal or Drop Goal: Scoring via a kick during gameplay (2 or 1 point depending on type).

  • 🤝 Team Structure – Each team has 13 players, including forwards and backs, each with defined roles on attack and defense.

  • Match Duration – Standard matches last 80 minutes, split into two 40-minute halves with a short halftime break.
