Where the forward gets a rugby-style goal (5)

I believe the answer is:

perth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for perth that I've seen before include "Town at the head of the Tay estuary" , "Capital of Western Australia" , "Australian state capital" , "Scottish/Australian city" , "Australian or Scottish city" .)
