Scoring
Union and league have the same ways of scoring, but there are significant differences in the points awarded, and there a few minor differences in the laws governing the scoring of tries.
The try (see the linked article for differences in the detailed laws applicable to scoring tries) is the main way of scoring in both codes, but is worth 5 points in rugby union and 4 points in rugby league. In both games, a conversion following a try is worth 2 points.
A drop goal is worth 3 points in union and 1 in league.
A penalty goal is worth 3 points in union and 2 points in league.
There is a perception that more drop goals are scored in rugby union, but in 2007 the rates were very similar: 0.2 per game in Super 14 and 0.19 per game in the NRL. However, it is worth noting that these statistics are for Southern Hemisphere competition only. In Northern Hemisphere rugby union competitions such as the Heineken Cup and the Guinness Premiership, drop goals are a far more frequent occurrence than in their rugby league counterpart. In the 2010 regular season the average of scored drop goals per game was 0.3 per game.
This difference in Hemispheres can be explained by the greater emphasis on defence in Northern Hemisphere rugby union coupled with the threat of relegation - drop goals have come to be viewed as "easy points" against defences that are increasingly harder to unlock.
It is a myth that many more penalty goals are scored in union. The 2007 Super 14 season averaged 4.4 penalty goals per game, equivalent figures for the NRL are not available, but an estimate yields less than 1 penalty goal per game. The Guinness Premiership stats for 2010 show an average of 4.99 goals per game.
In rugby union, a common tactic of the defensive side is to give away a penalty on their defensive tryline, to prevent a try from being scored. This means that the attacking side will often shoot for a penalty goal, as points are rare and should be taken at every opportunity. In rugby league, the defensive side must avoid a penalty, as this is likely to result in a repeat set for the attack and a greater chance of a try being scored.
Many more tries are scored in rugby league. Comparisons would tend to suggest rugby league games tend to involve an average of around 7-8 tries per game, while The Guinness Premiership stats for 2010 show an average of 4.5 tries per game. This is because of the rule changes which have occurred in rugby league to encourage open running and passing with the ball over competing for the ball which has lead to an increase in scoring of tries over goals.
