[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 731458, member: 71826"] Why is a try called a try? Originally, there were no points for touching the ball down over the line - that just earned your team a 'try' at kicking the ball between the posts to score (what is now the conversion). This is described in the book Tom Brown's Schooldays, which was set at the Rugby School [/QUOTE]
