[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 2, English, - place%20kick

Si l'on forait un trou perpendiculaire au front de taille d’une excavation réalisée dans une masse rocheuse uniforme [...] et si l'on faisait exploser une charge dans ce trou, il n’ en résulterait presqu'aucun arrachement de roche, car toute la force de l'explosion serait orientée dans l'expulsion de la bourre et dans un certain morcellement et tassement de la roche autour du trou. Si, par contre, le trou foré est incliné par rapport au plan de taille [...], la roche, comprise entre le trou et la paroi, sera plus facilement soumise à l'arrachement du massif que dans le cas précédent, car dans cette direction la résistance de la roche à l'arrachement sera moins grande que dans les autres. 7, record 4, French, - trou%20inclin%C3%A9
