In the NRL (National Rugby League), a regular field goal (drop goal) is worth one point. However, since the 2021 season, the NRL introduced a two-point field goal rule for drop kicks taken from beyond the 40-metre line. Thus:
- A field goal kicked from within 40 metres is worth 1 point.
- A field goal kicked from outside the 40-metre line is worth 2 points.
This rule was introduced to encourage more attacking play and create more excitement in the latter stages of games.
