Figure 1.

(A) shows a top view of the rugby mid-field, with the goalposts depicted on top. Numbers along the vertical and horizontal axes indicate in meters the distance of the kick positions from the goalposts line and the midline, respectively. Negative numbers refer to the left side of the court, and positive numbers to the right side, respectively. Red buttons indicate the eight positions from which placed kicks were executed. Red, yellow, and black circles refer to lateral, near, and distant zones. Blue, orange, and purple dotted circles refer to left-side, central and right-side positions on the court, respectively. (B–D) show the three perspectives from which a single placed kick was videotaped: back-view (B), lateral (C), and ball-only (D).
