However, few individuals actually know how the game is played and scores awarded. 

Each team starts the match with 15 players (for the 15 side) and 7 (for the sevens team) on the field and seven or eight substitutes. Players in a team are then divided into eight forwards (two more than in rugby league) and seven backs. 

Here is a glimpse on how the scores are awarded in rugby:

1. Try - four points. A try is worth four points - the maximum number of points you can score in one go in rugby league. 

2. Goal kick - two points. A team is awarded a goal kick after a try has been scored. 

3. Penalty - two points. 

4. Drop goal - one point.
