Rugby League
The place kick is commonly used in rugby league for kick offs and some kicks at goal (penalty goals and conversions).
The lack of a consistently successful place kicker in a team can be detrimental to a team. Anybody on the team can take a penalty or conversion kick although there is often a regular kicker. Sometimes teams will use different players to kick depending on what side of the field the kick is to be taken from.
