You'd be extremely to attempt a punch in a game of Rugby. Firstly if the referee sees, which he most probably will, you'll be red carded and off the field in seconds. Secondly you have to remember that the one person you punched is going to have 14 other team-mates to back him up, most of which will not hesitate to bundle in and help out their mate.
no such thing. - The equivalent kick in soccer and rugby would be the placed penalty kick.
Kick off.
yes
usually a drop kick
A lot more than "kick and chase" rugby union.
true
In rugby union a match comences with a dropgoal from the centre of the pitch. In which a player drops the ball onto its point then kicks it. The kick must go at least 10 meters forward.
yes in rugby you can drop, throw, kick or pass the ball backwards at any time
10 meters

I would probably say the free-kick because in a rugby conversion the area to aim at is much larger.
No its not allowed
