A try must be scored by a player crossing the tryline in a standing position and then placing the ball on the ground. Falling over the line, diving over the line or falling over to place the ball on the ground will result in tag being called 5 metres from the tryline. For Under 9’s and below some leniency is given as following: Falling over in putting the ball down to score a try is permitted as long as it was not a dive to avoid the tag.
