thread_title:  8 point try 

message: Modern rugby and all derived forms now favour the try over a goal and thus the try has a definite value, that has increased over time and has for many years surpassed the number of points awarded for a goal. In rugby league and rugby union, a conversion attempt is still given, but is simply seen as adding extra 'bonus' points. These points however can mean the difference between winning or losing a match, so thought is given to fielding players with good goal-kicking skill.
This seems to me to be a bit of a sweeping statement, I'm not sure what  "modern rugby and all derived forms now favour the try over a goal" is meant to convey. In Union matches particularly it is extremely common for the majority of points to come from kicks. pablo 15:52, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the comment on favouring tries is because the Try itself is work more points than a kicked goal or Penalty. One consideration of this is the risk factor: a kicked goal is far harder, if not impossible, to intercept than it is to tackle a player aiming for a Try. This is mitigated by the ever-increasing difficulty of sending the ball exactly where intended the further away it is kicked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.10.235.165 (talk) 18:39, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Did the planned trial happen? Also what are the values for the 2016–17 Welsh Premier Division season?
The Welsh Rugby Union is planning to trial a change in the scoring value in the 2015–16 Welsh Premier Division (the level below Pro12). Under the trial plan, which must still be approved by World Rugby, a try would be worth six points instead of five, with penalty tries worth eight points with no conversion attempt taken. In addition, penalties and drop goals would be reduced from three points to two Mobile mundo (talk) 19:01, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Our article currently makes no mention of wheelchair rugby, and our wheelchair rugby article (to whose Talk Page I have just added a similar section) currently speaks only of Goals, with no mention of Tries. But the Channel 4 commentary on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games (currently taking place in 2021 due to the Covid19 pandemic) almost always speaks of tries, and when a player scores a caption (presumably from some official paralympic broadcaster) often or usually appears showing his (or very rarely her) name and the word "tries" followed by the number of times he or she has scored in the match, thus seemingly indicating that 'tries' is now some sort of official terminology, at least in British English (for all I know, it could be Goals, Points, Scores, or Touchdowns, in various other varieties of English). I think both articles need to be amended to say something about this, though quite likely I won't be doing so myself anytime soon (if at all) per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO, so other perhaps more interested editors should feel free to try to fix the matter themselves.
