I was playing a cup match last night. The match was really boring as the team I was playing was conceding penalty after penalty, but my no. 10 was having a terrible kicking game. After 160 minutes of play the score was 0 - 0. All of a sudden the match ended with a score of 4 - 5.

How was that score calculated?

The game was Sarries v Likuni Lions and kick off was about 2330 GMT +1.

It's a hangover from the football, penalty shoot out.
Quite how it works I have no idea, but that's what it is.

No, not really.

Yes

Penalty shoot-outs exist in rugby; I'm only aware of one in the elite game, Cardiff v Leicester in the Heneken Cup semi-final 2009 - video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DsAPOs3vfY
Each pen counts as one point.

The thought of having to take a tournament-deciding kick in front of a packed stadium is terrifying. I really felt for Martin Williams there. Great player; clearly couldn't kick for toffee.

Let's just say it wasn't the strongest element of his game :0)

We had one in our Sussex Cup game many years ago; it was not quite the quality of the Tigers/Blues one though and was the only time this fat flanker actually had to take a kick. I missed, but we won 3-2 on the ninth round of kicks.

I remember it well and, although I am biased, the result was fair considering the awful behaviour of the welsh crowd! Dreadful way to decide a great semi like that though. The final was a thriller too despite Paddy's win!
