21 - PENALTY AND FREE KICKS
3
HOW THE PENALTY AND FREE KICKS ARE TAKEN
Amend;
(a)
Any player may take a penalty or free kick awarded for an infringement
with any type of kick, punt, drop-kick, or place kick. The ball
may be kicked with any part of the lower leg or the foot, excluding
the knee and the heel.
4
PENALTY AND FREE KICK OPTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Amend
(b) No delay. If a kicker indicates to the referee the intention
to kick a
penalty kick at goal, the kick must be taken within one minute
from the time the player indicates the intention to kick at goal.
The intention to kick is signalled by the arrival of the kicking
tee or sand, or when the player makes a mark on the ground. The
player must complete the kick within one minute even if the ball
rolls over and has to be placed again. If the one minute is exceeded,
the kick is disallowed, a scrum is ordered at the place of the
mark and the opponents throw in the ball. For any other type of
kick, the kick must be taken without undue delay.
Amend
(g) Out of Play in the In-goal
(g)
If a penalty or free kick is taken in in-goal and the ball goes
into touch-in-goal, or on or over the dead ball line, or a defending
player makes the ball dead before it has crossed the goal-line,
a 5 metre scrum is awarded. The attacking team throws in the ball.
