in-goal
Behind the posts
In-goal refers to the scoring area at each end of a rugby field, bounded by the goal line, dead-ball line, and touch-in-goal lines.
When a player grounds the ball in this zone, they score a try.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: The ball was carried into the in-goal or an in-goal area.
Unlike American football's end zone, the in-goal has specific rules about how the ball must be touched down to score.
