Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Place kick
The place kick is a kicking style commonly used in rugby football when kicking for goal.

It typically involves placing the ball on the ground. To keep the ball in position, a mound of sand or plastic tee is sometimes used.

It is also rarely used in American football for kickoffs, and a variation is the Squib kick.
