Free kicks: what was chosen and what happened

Clubs

In the MRC app a free kick has its own button next to Penalty. Record who it was given to, what the team chose and, after a tap, what happened, so free kicks count in possession, set piece, discipline and the match report.

1. Tap Free kick and choose the team it was given to. The pitch zone above the teams is optional.
2. If the match has a law set, the app asks what it was for: a scrum or line-out offence, or another free-kick offence of that set. Skip it if you are not sure.
3. Tap what the team chose: Quick tap, Tap and go, Kick to touch (the other team throws in), Kick in play or Scrum. The offender is optional: tap Choose, then the number.
4. After a tap the app asks what happened: kept the ball, turnover, upgraded to a penalty, free kick lost (reversed) or a try. You can also mark the play: running, pick and go, maul or passed wide. Skip it if you did not see it.

• Upgraded to a penalty takes you straight to the penalty question for the same team, for example when the other team did not retire 10 metres. Both entries are kept and linked.
• After a free kick taken as a scrum, kicked to touch or lost, the set piece that follows appears above the buttons: one tap records it.
