\"\"This past weekend a situation occurred that confused the referee and the players on the field. At the kickoff after the team had scored a player on the kicking team was offsides. The referee awarded a scrum and play resumed. Was the right call made?<\/p>\n

Answer:
\n<\/strong>Unfortunately this referee got close, but didn’t get it quite right. ANY and all infractions at the kickoff in Sevens<\/strong> are a free kick.\u00a0Law 13.3<\/a>\u00a0specifically applies to this situation and a free kick at the 50m should have been given.<\/p>\n

Law 13 also covers kickoffs that do not go 10m, ball goes directly into touch or ball goes into the in-goal. These should all be rewarded a free kick to the receiving team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
