Well if the FK was awarded then presumably we've already passed that point!How did the ball get into the 22 in the first place?
Sounds like LO to opposition as described.Free Kick awarded behind 22.
Player does not tap the ball and kick it , but kicks it DIRECTLY into touch.
Soooo, line out to opposition where the ball went into touch, or scrum to opposition where Free Kick awarded, or.....?
LO to opposition at the point the ball crossed the plane of touch... am I missing something here, seems very straight forward?Free Kick awarded behind 22.

Unclear to me why that would matter.How did the ball get into the 22 in the first place?

When asking the question I had my reviewers head on and the approach that I/we take to enable referees to analyse situations.
When a referee asks a question of the nature that was asked by the OP I like to take the referee through a thought process that hopefully enables the referee to reach the answer/solution themselves.
So if I was asked the question face to face I would firstly ask the referee, ‘how did the ball get into the 22 in the first place’? Once that has been answered I would then perhaps ask for example, ‘what happened next’? Or ‘what caused the FK’? This should lead the referee to the answer.
I appreciate that a forum is perhaps not the best vehicle for this approach. I shouldn’t view this forum while taking a break from writing last Saturday’s report!
By enabling a referee to analyse a situation quickly and fully he is more likely to answer his/her own question.Fair e bnough balones... what if after the initial question wrt ghow the ball got there, the ref says "Doesnt matter. its a FK innit" ?
Apologies. Revealing my educational philosophy background.ref coaching 101 ... always answer a question with another question
