This is rugby you speak of? That seems perfectly legal to me as long as A). the one who retrieves the ball to score is onsides and B). you did not kick it out of the back of the try zone. Little kicks past the defence are called pop kicks and grubber kicks I believe, the first is a high but short kick over alot of people, and the second is a low bumbling line drive to the outside winger or to get it way up field and be able to create a 1v1 if possible.
As far as I know, anyone can kick druing 90% of the rugby match. Birds, where do you play?
EDIT: PS-just to cover my bases, in american football kickoffs, the ball needs to go at least 10 yards to be considered playable, like a rugby kickoff, except in meters and with a different kicking technique.
PSS- I'll need to look for the US-Eng game, when is it on GMT?
