Goal from mark

A goal from mark is a former scoring move in rugby football. It occurred when a player "marked" the ball by making a fair catch and shouting "mark". From this position the player could not be tackled. The player then had the option of a free kick, which could be taken as a place, drop, or tap kick. The scoring move, however, continues as the set shot featuring heavily in Australian rules football. In the modern rugby codes, including rugby union and rugby league, a goal cannot be scored from a free kick. Rugby league no longer has any form of 'mark' where marks in rugby union are now limited to inside the 22 mark of the field.
