A try (at goal) is the major way of scoring points in rugby union and rugby league. A try is scored when a player grounds the ball in the opposition's in-goal area. A try is analogous to a touchdown in American football with the major difference being that a try requires the ball to touch the ground. In both forms of rugby the term touchdown refers only to the physical act of touching the ball down behind the goal line.
