6 points for a try....
Discussion
Makes a lot of sense to me. If you look at the early days, it took 40-odd years before any points at all were awarded for a try (15 of those after the first RFU laws were published), but then only another 8 or so years for the value of a try to first exceed the value of a kick.
I suppose the only concern remaining is to make sure the difference between a try and a penalty doesn't get so high that it always makes sense for a team to concede a penalty if there's any risk of a try being scored.

When I started playing as a kid it was four points with two for a conversion and three for any type of goal, then it moved to five, two and three. When I was born, it was three, two three.
At eight for a converted try and two for a penalty, won't it already be the case that it's worth conceding a penalty to avoid a try (assuming you can avoid a penalty try)?

Don't forget the ref also has cards at his disposal...At eight for a converted try and two for a penalty, won't it already be the case that it's worth conceding a penalty to avoid a try (assuming you can avoid a penalty try)?
