Rugby Union Laws
August 4th, 2016
I am an amateur player, and I am required to pass the laws and ready test to be able to play this season. I’ve been on the laws test for more than 3 hours now, and I’m stuck in the multiple choice question below. I’ve tried everything, and I read all the laws carefully. I don’t know what else to try, other than to ask for help
if anybody could help me out, that’d be amazing

Except when closer than 5 metres to the goal-line, which of the following statements are correct in relation to the place of the lineout when the ball is in touch?
When a player who is carrying the ball crosses the touchline, the lineout is at that place
When the ball is kicked into touch on the full from a penalty kick, the lineout is where the ball crossed the touchline
When the ball is kicked out on the full from a free kick taken outside the 22 metre area the lineout is opposite where the ball was kicked
When the ball, in general play, is kicked from outside the 22 metre area and crosses the touchline on the full, the lineout is where the ball crosses the touchline
When the ball is kicked out on the full from a kick in general play taken from inside the 22 metre area, the lineout is opposite where the ball crossed the touchline
“When the ball, in general play, is kicked from outside the 22 metre area and crosses the touchline on the full, the lineout is where the ball crosses the touchline”
Don’t hold me too it but I’m sure line outs only occur during normal play. Therefore, crossing the touch line would result in a try and normal play has ended, reformation to occur.
