This competition has a lot of history, but it keeps changing its brand name! It includes the top teams from the tournaments below without the South African teams :. Five of the six competitions had remarkably close average scores, with the home team edging the result. Two, three, or four points separated the teams at the end. Of course, three points is a single penalty. I would conclude that these tournaments are highly competitive. I ran my eye over the individual Top 14 scores to see what was going on.
Here are the averages of the last three tournaments. The average scores are remarkably consistent, even though the sport has seen some major changes over a decade.
The averages are skewed by the pool games where the top teams ran up big scores against one or two of the teams in the group. For example, New Zealand beat Namibia by 62 points. Scotland put 61 points to nil against Russia. Various franchises from Argentina and Japan have been included at different times.
Drop Goal — 3 points Worth three points, this method of scoring is done in open play often from an ensuing scrum or lineout. A player has to drop the ball, let it touch the ground then kick it above the crossbar and between the posts. The drop kick is more challenging to execute than a penalty kick, as it requires a greater level of kicking technique and timing.
However, a drop kick can be the deciding factor for a team to win a game in the final moments of a match. In league and tournament play involving group tables, teams are awarded four points for a win and two for a draw. To encourage attacking rugby and more tries in the game, a bonus point is awarded to teams who score four or more tries while a team can also earn a bonus point for losing by 7 points or less. Note that a team can only earn a maximum of five points in a match.

Rugby teams respond to penalties in a few different ways. They can utilize a tap penalty which involves a player tapping the ball off his foot and continues the game. The team can also kick to touch. This play requires a player to kick the ball into touch, and wherever the ball flies out, the kicking team has a throw-in from outside the touchline. To score off of a normal penalty, the team must attempt a kick at goal from where the penalty occurs.
For this penalty, the referee raises their hand signalling the penalty, and the player tells the referee they want to go for points and a member of the sideline will quickly run out a tee for the player kicking. If the offensive team makes the kick for goal, it is worth 3 points and the game restarts from a kickoff.
If the team misses, the game continues from where the kick goes out of touch. At any point in the game, an athlete can drop the ball off of the ground and kick it. If it goes through the goalposts, the team scores three points and a kickoff occurs. This play has become more common in professional leagues than between amateurs. This rule is the rarest form of scoring in rugby. A penalty try is awarded when the other team obviously uses an illegal play to stop a team from scoring.
A penalty try can also occur after a team commits an excessive amount of penalties, so the referee gives the other team five points. The score of rugby games depends on the playstyle of the teams and the conditions the game is played in, whether it be the field or weather. Typically, teams score under 40 points per game. When a team wins by a big margin, the winning team may score around 60 points or sometimes, even more, if the game is that unbalanced.
