Originally a try scored 0 points, it merely earned the team that scored it a "try" at goal (a try+conversion is called a goal even now). Clearly the effort in scoring a try should itself be rewarded and thus in the 1890 a try scored 1 point and a conversion 2. Then for 1 year it was 2+3, then in 1893 it was 3+2, then in 1971 4+2 and finally 5+2 from 1992.

It is scored when a player puts the ball on the ground with "downward pressure" (very important) inside the opposition's in-goal area between the try line and dead ball line.
This means the opposition can score eight points if they are successful in scoring the try, the goal kick and the penalty kick. //
The scoring in either code is bonkers.
