[In rugby, ] there are three kinds of kick : the punt, the drop and the place kick.... For a place kick the ball is placed on the ground, usually in, or on, a small hole made by the heel of the kicker's boot. The ball may be tilted in any direction to suit the kicker. Such a kick may be used for conversion of tries, for kicking penalty goals and for a kick after a mark has been made. It is obligatory to start the game with a place kick, to resume it after half-time and to restart after a try has been converted. 1, record 5, English, - place%20kick
