“Conversions” are missed with regularity

Far more frequently than in American football for reasons that SixShutouts cites — many are long kicks with very difficult angles and often not aligned with the kicker’s preferred trajectory (out-swingers versus in-swingers).

Plus, I believe Sevens doesn’t allow the use of a tee (drop-kicks instead).

Scoring a “try” nearer the goalposts — ideally underneath them — is always preferred versus way out on the sideline.

These are universal rugby dynamics as opposed to gender-specific.
