Varsity Cup 2016: 5, 7, and 9 point tries

Yes. Invent this and plus all those bonus rules in the different competitions, you'll need an handout and a calculator to watch a game and see its impact

This is stupid , you don't fix something that is not broken the scoring system is fine

I'm sure the Varsity rugby fans are just wanting a normal game of rugby without all the experimentation year in and year out.

Me, as a traditionalist, hate all these experiments. But I can understand why some would love the ideas they are trying, and seeing on whether it will work or not.

many Afrikaans-speaking newcomers to rugby always ask why call a try in Afrikaans a "Drie", which is translated to english as "Three". And we explain that that is what the points were originally for scoring a try, and then it changed to 5 later on, and we didn't see the need to change it.

So the same applies depending on from which part of the field you score an intercept try?

Essentially yes, as an intercept is a form of a turnover...
