Request
In the definition of Law 18 Mark, it stipulates that a mark cannot be made from a kick off. This implies that it may be made from a restart. However a restart may be kicked from the half way line after a score. Is it possible to harmonise these two cases?
Ruling of the designated members of the Rugby Committee
From a kick off there can be no mark.
From a kick off after a score there can be no mark.
From a 22 metre drop out a mark can be taken.
