mark (rugby)

To mark a ball in rugby union, the player must be inside that player's twenty-two metre line. The mark is performed by a player (normally the Full Back), making a clean catch and shouting "Mark!" Once a mark is made, the marking player may not be tackled. The player is awarded a free-kick at the position of the mark and the kick must be taken by the marking player. If for any reason, the player cannot take the kick within one minute, the marking team must take a scrum. A ball may be marked if it has rebounded off the posts or crossbar. A mark may not be made from a kick-off.
